Playing with fantasy beasts in the martial arts world

Chapter 159 A Sound Talk, Young Hero Richard
As expected, Lu Xiaofeng's interrogation yielded no results.

Yuan Suiyun was not a man who would give in so easily, even though he had fallen on hard times.

Lu Xiaofeng, however, had his limits. He couldn't go too far with the interrogation. Using his finger strength to disrupt Yuan Suiyun's internal energy, tearing his muscles and meridians and causing pain, was already the limit of what he could do.

"That's enough! That's enough! Let me do it! Let me do it!" Cha Nan patted Lu Xiaofeng on the shoulder, telling him not to be angry and not to be stubborn.

He then stepped forward and placed his hand on Yuan Suiyun's body, attempting to manipulate the blood within Yuan Suiyun's body using the Heavenly Water Divine Skill.

Theoretically speaking, this is feasible!
The secret of the Heavenly Water Divine Skill lies in sensing and manipulating water, transforming the internal energy within the body into the ability to create myriad water phenomena. Since it can compress water into heavy water, which is the Heavenly One Divine Water, why can't it manipulate the blood within the human body?

Although Princess Yin of the Jellyfish did not teach it this way, the fact that it was not taught does not mean it is not allowed.

After all, a disciple doesn't have to be inferior to his master!
However, after trying it out, Cha Nan found it very difficult.

He could 'hear' the rushing 'water sound' flowing through Yuan Suiyun's veins, but his controlling will could not extend to that point.

There is a feeling, but no real sensation.

On the contrary, Yuan Suiyun turned his head to look at Cha Nan. Although he couldn't see it either, his empty pupils stared at Cha Nan, still giving a sense of being gazed at.

"You want to control the blood in my body?"

"With such control... did you learn the Heavenly Water Divine Skill of the Jellyfish Yin Ji?" Yuan Suiyun seemed to have started talking again because of Cha Nan's actions.

This is not surprising. For some unknown reason, Yuan Suiyun, like many transmigrators, has a strong collecting obsession and wishes he could collect all the world's unique skills.

According to the original story, the martial arts of the Yuan Suiyun Society consisted of thirty-three styles, including the "Big Clap Hand" of the Koga School of Japan, the "Blood Shadow Man's" lightness skill, the "Thirteen Styles of Qingfeng" of the Huashan School, the "Big Handprint" of the Yellow Sect Esoteric Buddhism, the long-lost "Vermilion Palm", the poison and hidden weapons of the Tang Clan of Sichuan, the "Forty-Nine Hands of Returning Wind and Dancing Willow Sword" of Gu Daoren of Bashan, the "Dragon Subduing Tiger Arhat Fist" of Shaolin Temple, the "Flowing Cloud Flying Sleeve" of Wudang School, the "Zombie Fist" of the Yan Family of Chenzhou, the "Five Tigers Breaking the Gate Saber" of the Peng Family of Central China, and the "Mandarin Duck Legs" of the Northern School, etc. Most of them were top-notch martial arts.

The Huashan School's "Thirteen Styles of Gentle Breeze" and the Bashan Gu Daoren's "Forty-Nine Hands of Returning Wind and Dancing Willow Sword" are considered top-tier martial arts techniques in the martial arts world.

Even in order to obtain the 'Thirteen Styles of Gentle Breeze', this Bat Prince Yuan Suiyun was willing to harm Master Kumei.

The main point is that as long as I can't see you, it doesn't matter how ugly you are.

In fact, with Yuan Suiyun's talent, if he had focused on three to five of them, he would have achieved even greater success and risen to the very top of the ancient martial arts world.

However, he was too greedy and made the same mistake as Murong Fu, trying to do too much at once. Although he seemed to be stronger than many masters who specialized in martial arts, he was only stronger than ordinary mediocre people.

Compared to a peerless genius like Liang Xiao, it falls short in depth.

Although Liang Xiao also took on many things, he was actually constantly refining himself, incorporating various martial arts into his own nourishment, and then focusing on them, rather than letting his energy be scattered.

Currently, Cha Nan is actually following a path similar to Liang Xiao's, learning a lot and a wide variety of things, but ultimately it's all about summarizing and developing her own ideas.

Given Yuan Suiyun's indiscriminate consumption of both meat and vegetables, it's hard to say whether he ever coveted the Tianshui Divine Skill.

Although the ancient martial arts world does not emphasize internal strength, unlike the metal-based martial arts world where every master possesses superb internal strength and the internal strength cultivation methods they practice are all extraordinary, the internal strength techniques that can make a name for themselves in the ancient martial arts world are definitely not to be underestimated.

For example, the Wedding Dress Divine Skill and the Bright Jade Skill are both like this!
“That’s right! But I’ve learned not only the Heavenly Water Divine Skill of the Water Mother Yin Ji, but also the Nine Yin Manual, which is considered the general outline of martial arts in another martial arts world. Just in terms of internal strength alone, I have surpassed 99% of the martial arts practitioners in the world. What I lack is only the accumulation of time.” Cha Nan said with a proud tone.

“It’s not bad, but do you know why you can’t control the blood in my body?” Yuan Suiyun seemed to have found a common interest with Cha Nan, so they started talking again.

"Why?" Cha Nan followed up smoothly.

"Because the human body contains essence and spirit within its blood, and your Heavenly Water Divine Skill can only control stagnant water, not the divine river of blood containing the human body's essence and spirit!" Yuan Suiyun said.

Cha Nan fell silent. For a moment, he didn't quite agree with this statement. After all, from a scientific point of view, human consciousness resides in the brain and has nothing to do with blood.

But upon further reflection, the cultivation of internal energy and lightness skills are inherently unscientific, and the fantastical worlds he can travel to at any time are even more unscientific.

Therefore, it is clearly unwise to blindly adhere to so-called scientific claims.

Moreover, some things may not be unscientific, but rather the science he has heard of has not yet developed to the point of explaining everything.

"Give me your Heavenly Water Divine Skill, and I will perfect it for you so that it can control the blood in the human body."

"I can even help you extract the essence from the blood you manipulate to increase your inner strength." Yuan Suiyun spoke with great certainty, clearly confident, and not just making empty promises.

Cha Nan's gaze toward Yuan Suiyun became even more peculiar.

He was already known as the 'Bat Prince,' and now he wants to evolve into a vampire bat?

"Brother Cha!" Lu Xiaofeng knew he shouldn't interrupt, but he couldn't help but say something.

After all, judging from the conversation between the two people in front of them, the topic has not only gone further and further off course, but is also becoming increasingly dangerous.

To manipulate the flow of blood in the human body doesn't sound like a proper martial art. However, if it's only used to kill, it's fine. After all, more than 90% of the martial arts in the world are used to kill. In fact, there is no distinction between good and evil. Lu Xiaofeng is by no means a pedantic person.

But when it came to manipulating blood, absorbing vital essence, and enhancing internal strength, he couldn't resist. Because it was too dangerous!
If it were to actually be created, the emergence of such a demonic art would be a catastrophe for the martial arts world of any region.

Cha Nan waved his hand, giving Lu Xiaofeng a reassuring look, but his words were anything but trustworthy: "Young Master Yuan! I really want to trust you and share the divine skill with you, but... if you're not honest with me, how can I believe that you're not just using me to trick me into giving you the divine skill?"

Yuan Suiyun said, "I can swear that no matter how vicious the oath, I can say it right now."

His voice was gentle and magnetic, giving people an irresistible urge to trust him.

Unfortunately, his current appearance is too disheveled and miserable, which greatly reduces his persuasiveness.

Cha Nan glanced at the capture success rate, which had only increased by one percentage point.

Besides wearing down the target's health, gaining their trust and making them lower their guard can also increase the success rate of capture.

Only when a low-level Paluk captures a high-level target, and the target's trust value is close to full, will the signing of the 'Equal Contract' be triggered.

Currently, Cha Nan holds a high-quality Paluk, which is already capable of capturing masters and those below the master level, thus naturally increasing the true capture success rate.

"If you say that, I'm even less likely to believe you!"

"Okay... let's do a trust test!"

“I will seal your hearing and sense of smell, leaving only your sense of touch. Whatever I guide you to do, you must follow my instructions… As long as you can complete ten tasks, I will trust you and teach you the Heavenly Water Divine Skill,” Cha Nan said.

Yuan Suiyun said, "Alright! Come on!"

He had nothing to hesitate about. He was already at the mercy of others, so what did he have to lose?
Cha Nan extended her fingers and sealed Yuan Suiyun's Tinghui and Yingxiang acupoints, thus blocking his hearing and sense of smell. Then she began to guide Yuan Suiyun to make various attempts, such as suddenly leaning back or jumping directly from a high place.

These attempts may seem naive and boring to onlookers, but Cha Nan could see clearly that the capture probability of Yuan Suiyun was constantly increasing.

In this special state where one can only rely on touch to perceive things and can only trust one person, even the most cunning and wary person will inevitably develop a temporary but strong sense of reliance and trust.

This can also be seen as a suspension bridge reaction.

Once the success rate reached 45%, Cha Nan decisively struck, pressing the Parul Ball directly onto the back of Yuan Suiyun's head.

Then, the world travel was launched simultaneously.

In an instant, time and space froze.

From Lu Xiaofeng's perspective, Cha Nan and Yuan Suiyun simply swayed in place and made a simple attempt.

Then Cha Nan suddenly pressed two acupoints on Yuan Suiyun's body.

"Now, let's do the final trust test!"

“Tell me everything you know about King Shi and the God of Wealth!” Cha Nan said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Lu Xiaofeng rolled his eyes.

How could anyone possibly ask that?!

This was Yuan Suiyun's most valuable bargaining chip, and he certainly wouldn't reveal it until he got the result he wanted.

"King Shi's surname is not Shi!"

“And he doesn’t only have six doubles!” Yuan Suiyun’s words were astonishing, directly stunning Lu Xiaofeng.

"No...you really mean it!" Lu Xiaofeng looked at Cha Nan strangely, then tried hard to recall Cha Nan's previous actions, perhaps he could use them in the future.

"Then who exactly is he? Does he have other identities in the martial arts world as a cover?" Cha Nan asked.

Yuan Suiyun said, "I didn't know at first, but after he pulled me back from the brink of death and nailed this thing to my head, I knew who he was!"

As he spoke, he tapped the iron band on the top of his head.

"Then who is he?" Lu Xiaofeng asked urgently, his enthusiasm for deciphering the mystery and obtaining the answer unparalleled by ordinary people.

But Yuan Suiyun did not answer his question; instead, she stared blankly at Cha Nan's location.

“Tell me the answer!” Cha Nan said.

Yuan Suiyun gave a name that was unfamiliar to both Cha Nan and Lu Xiaofeng: "Ye Tianshi!"
