Republic of China Era: Entering the Dao through Divine Strike.

The blood and qi surged and flowed at an extremely fast speed, even producing a slight whistling sound.

The hidden shackles were broken in an instant.

One step into perfection.

Internal force netting.

She slowly opened her eyes and looked down at her hands.

The faint golden luster remaining in the palm slowly receded, replaced by an unprecedented clarity, lightness, and sensitivity.

At this moment, she could clearly perceive the flow of every inch of her skin, every muscle and bone, and every drop of blood and qi throughout her body.

The power is penetrating and the energy is harmonious, truly achieving a state of perfect power and forming a net around the whole body.

Mosquitoes can't land, and dust won't stick to your body.

After years of dedicated practice of Baguazhang, he has now fully grasped the essence of the techniques hidden deep within the moves, which can only be understood intuitively and cannot be explained in words.

"Senior sister, please rest well. We'll come back for massage another day."

Li Xin withdrew his hand, smiled faintly, and turned to walk straight to the door.

Cheng Feiyan stood there, motionless for a long time, quietly watching his figure disappear outside the moon gate.

……

Silent all night.

The next day, just as dawn was breaking, the morning mist was slightly cool.

Li Xin went straight to Wang Jingya's courtyard.

Her room wasn't exactly elegant; in fact, it was rather cluttered.

Leaning against the corner of the wall was his usual goose-feather knife, and on the table was a short blade being finely polished.

Even on the wall hook above the bed, there hangs an old wristband that has been worn for years and is worn shiny.

At this moment, Wang Jingya had her back to the door and was bending over to wrap her wristbands.

Round and round, the rope was wrapped tightly and neatly, without any care.

She always does things this way, from martial arts training to armor binding, she strives for perfection in every detail.

Yellow birds chirped outside the window, and the glow of the sunset shone into the room through the window frame.

She didn't turn around, but through the reflection in the bronze mirror on the wall, she could clearly see the figure standing at the door.

"Brother Xin? You're here so early?"

Li Xin did not speak.

He held an ordinary steel knife, the long blade hanging down with its tip diagonally touching the blue brick ground.

The soft morning light bathed the blade, creating a faint golden glow.

Wang Jingya saw his movements clearly in the mirror, and the fingertips wrapped around her wrist paused slightly.

He then nonchalantly continued finishing up, bending down to bite off the excess rope with his teeth and neatly tying a knot.

She turned around, moved to pick up the goose-feather knife beside the bed, and gently pushed the hilt with her thumb. The blade sprang out half an inch, and a line of cold, sharp light broke through the dawn, its sharpness intimidating.

"You came so early to test your knife?"

Li Xin nodded slightly.

Wang Jingya was overjoyed.

She was already used to sparring and practicing with Li Xin.

Fighting against others is about winning or losing, but fighting against Li Xin is about honing your own weaknesses.

You can't win, but you can learn something.

After each fierce battle, the obscurity in her swordsmanship would be completely smoothed out, which was better than practicing alone for ten days.

She lowered her waist and hips, holding a vertical sword between her brows.

"please."

"Senior sister, be careful."

The next second, Li Xin suddenly moved.

The longsword drew a clean and simple arc.

This strike is not complicated or varied; it is simply quick and straightforward.

But this seemingly ordinary slash sent chills down Wang Jingya's spine, filling her with an intense sense of crisis.

Li Xin's moves may seem ordinary, but they are actually the result of great skill appearing clumsy and returning to simplicity.

All the exquisite killing moves and varied routines are hidden in a single diagonal slash.

It blocked all her angles for dodging, deflecting force, and blocking.

She had no choice but to accept it.

clang……

The two swords clashed, and a crisp, metallic clang suddenly erupted, sending tiny sparks flying everywhere.

The immense shockwave traveled up the blade and into Wang Jingya's arm, causing her entire arm to go numb.

Her usual method of using the Six Harmonies to borrow and deflect force was almost ineffective in the face of this pure, profound, and unadorned sword technique.

He could only forcefully mobilize all his muscles, bones, and blood to withstand the blow.

The Six Harmonies Knife Technique is all about advancing without retreating, using offense as a form of defense.

It becomes stronger when faced with stronger opponents.

Instead of retreating a single step, she took a step forward to regain her balance and then chopped back with her hand.

The second cut is faster, the third cut is heavier, and the fourth and fifth cuts are layered on top of each other.

The sword strikes grew stronger with each blow, becoming more fluid and sharper with each strike.

The continuous sword strikes ignited the blood and qi within his body, causing the heat in his dantian to surge and his blood and qi to flow freely throughout his body.

This was a thrilling duel she hadn't experienced in a long time.

There is a kind of exhilarating feeling of truly meeting your match and playing to your heart's content.

His strength, blood and qi, and swordsmanship skills all reached their peak in his life.

Just as her blood was boiling and burning, about to reach its peak and then decline.

Li Xin abruptly withdrew his sword, instantly concealing its power.

A warm yet powerful palm strike landed silently on her dantian.

The purest golden dragon energy surged into her palm, merging and colliding with the boiling blood and qi within her body.

The two forces intertwine and flow, nourishing each other.

Wang Jingya let out a muffled groan and involuntarily took a half step back.

She clearly sensed that the raging fire of blood and qi in her dantian had not been extinguished, but had instead been completely ignited, surged, and tempered by the dragon energy.

All the blocked meridians and obstructions in the body were completely opened up and thoroughly connected at this moment.

His muscles and bones crackled and popped repeatedly, his whole body felt clear and his energy flowed freely.

At the peak of internal strength, one can then break through to the level of external strength.

Furthermore, the energy spread throughout his body, and his cultivation level jumped another step forward.

This energy, permeating my entire body, possessed a subtle, approachable quality, allowing me to control it with ease.

This saves at least ten years of hard work.

Wang Jingya clenched her fists and felt the refreshed, harmonious, and clear power within her body.

His eyes were filled with disbelief and shock.

She stared intently at Li Xin, her voice trembling slightly: "You transferred your most precious dragon energy to me."

She came from the Yuanshun Escort Agency, where, over the years, the reformists and the conservatives had fought each other repeatedly.

Wang Wu, the great swordsman, was the first to be hit.

He has fought against many masters in the palace, and even defeated a monk from the Great Snow Mountain.

He was no stranger to dragon energy.

Therefore, Wang Jingya also knew about it, and had even seen it from afar.

He knew that this legendary, powerful item was extremely difficult to obtain.

Even a small amount of money can significantly boost one's cultivation level.

How much was just injected into the body?

It must be at least two ounces.

This powerful boost is more effective than any precious medicine.

She slammed her goose-feather saber into the blue brick floor and punched Li Xin in the shoulder.

"Next time you have such an opportunity, please let me know in advance. Don't use the guise of sparring or testing your skills to suddenly inject air."

I genuinely thought that was a full-force attack from you; I was even prepared to get hurt.

"If you are informed in advance, you will be on guard, and your Qi and blood will not be able to circulate to their full potential."

Li Xin sheathed his sword, a smile playing on his lips.

He admired Wang Erya's completely unpretentious style.

If you give it to me, you have to accept it.

She disliked nothing more than pretentious pushing and shoving.

Don't let her seemingly carefree demeanor fool you; deep down, she's probably deeply moved and in tears.

After thinking for a moment, he added, "Breaking through the dragon's aura requires the perfect timing."

It can only enter the body when the blood and qi are boiling, the muscles and bones are relaxed, and the strength is at its peak.

Only then can we maximize the use of this opportunity to temper our physical body and break through our limitations.

If done intentionally, the effect will be greatly reduced.

Everyone has a different personality, so the methods they use to break through realms using dragon energy will naturally differ as well.

Wang Jingya opened her mouth as if to say something, but ultimately remained silent.

A myriad of emotions surged within me.

In the battle of Guangping, she was severely injured in the shoulder by Wang Zhenshan, almost losing her entire arm. It was Li Xin who saved her life with the "Life" character diagram.

At the Caishikou Dead End, she and her father were trapped in a deadly situation, barely surviving, until Li Xin intervened and broke the dead end.

Now, he is handing over the dragon energy he risked his life for, helping her break through her long-standing bottleneck.

The debt of gratitude she owes to the other party is countless and can never be repaid.

The mere instruction of a few moves of the Six Harmonies Knife Technique is utterly insufficient to offset the damage in the slightest.

She took a deep breath, suppressed all her thoughts, bent down to pull out the long knife, wiped away the blade fragments with her thumb, and her face was full of pride.

"I will remember this favor. I will accept the dragon's aura. From now on, in any dangerous or tough battle, you are not allowed to fight alone. I will fight alongside you."

"it is good."

Li Xin replied, "Don't just practice your sword all day long. Life isn't just about martial arts; there's also the sunrise and sunset. The tea stalls at the city gate are still open. You can treat me to tea another day when you're free."

Wang Jingya was slightly taken aback, and instantly recalled the time when they first met, when she wanted to use two bowls of tea to lure the naive and clueless young man who had just entered the capital into Yuanshun Escort Agency.

Before I could even drink the tea, the figure turned and disappeared.

When they met again, he was already in the Bagua boxing arena.

In just a few short months, that once youthful and thin boy has transformed.

He has grown into a top powerhouse who intimidates the capital.
