Being an otaku in the world of American comics

#172 - Entangled Dragon Soul

"What I lack now is the application of my own strength. On normal days, I feel like I'm full of energy, but I just can't use it.

Sometimes, if I exert too much force, I can easily strain my back..."

"It seems that the cultivation of the 'Great Vertebra Fist' should be put on the agenda immediately!"

"Fortunately, with the help of the previous dragon blood, the 'Primal Chaos Skill' has now reached its peak. Next, I will have to rely on my own understanding of nature and realm to slowly grind my way into the Innate Realm. This can't be rushed for the time being!"

"'Great Vertebra Fist' ~ I remember that this technique doesn't seem to have high requirements for aptitude. The protagonist of that entertainment anime only spent a few months to become basically invincible in the world, right?"

"This technique starts from the waist and follows the belt meridian between the waist and ribs! It's really unconventional!"

"I don't know if this is a unique ancient martial arts theory in his plane, or if it is universal in other places as well. I've lived in the real world for so many years.

I haven't even met a martial arts master. What a failure!"

"'Great Vertebra Fist' ~ As the name suggests, it takes the great vertebra of the human spine as the core, and the tendons and meridians between the waist and ribs as the transmission, like the trunk and branches of a tree of life.

Taking the human dragon bone as the main axis, it continuously transmits power to all parts of the body between the ups and downs. The tendons and meridians play the role of transmitters and linkages in this process."

"In this inheritance, physical training is the main focus, while Qi training is only auxiliary. This is probably because there is not much heaven and earth essence in that world, right?"

"The so-called Dantian, in the definition of this ancient martial arts inheritance, refers to the power gathering point after constantly tempering the strength of the waist and abdomen. Even in the process of cultivation, the meridians of the human body will be reshaped for it.

From this kind of thinking and theory, although it has some relationship with the 'Primal Chaos Skill', a closer look reveals that they are truly poles apart! They are almost completely two different ways of thinking!"

"But that's also good. Although there are some overlapping points between the ancient martial arts inheritance of the 'Great Vertebra Fist' and the internal skills popular in the heavens and worlds.

However, the overall spread of the two theories has almost no conflicting points!"

"Being able to simultaneously possess two sets of martial arts cultivation systems, the effect produced is definitely not as simple as one plus one. For me, this will allow me to better develop my own potential!"

......

After carefully reviewing the details of this boxing technique in his mind, Liang Yue began to try to carry out his first cultivation.

Soon, surrounded by the morning light and mist, he slowly became engrossed and immersed himself in the cultivation of this novel system.

However, in addition to cultivation, while constantly imitating the exercise methods recorded in the book, Liang Yue was also secretly pondering the original ideas of the founder of this theory.

Exploring the core and creative ideas of this system, trying to constantly integrate himself into the essence and true meaning of this system.

Only in this way can he better immerse himself in this inheritance!

Soon, unknowingly, a morning had passed~

When Liang Yue felt that his practice was complete for the day, and the area between his waist and ribs had already begun to ache faintly, he finally stopped practicing and slowly restrained the violent sense of power in his body.

When that strong body was completely silent, unknowingly, a body of sweat had completely soaked Liang Yue's entire body, and drops of sweat like raindrops kept falling on the ground.

Along with the gushing sweat, a sour smell spread out.

"Hoo ~!"

"This feeling is so good, hearty and dripping!"

"Since merging with the rules of the MC world, I haven't felt so refreshed in a long time!"

"In my body, there is a feeling of hunger and thirst, eager to replenish nutrients!"

"Hahahaha ~ That's right, this is what a human body should be like ~!"

......

While sighing inwardly, this guy's movements were also very swift. Taking advantage of the convenience of the infinite water source, he quickly cleaned up his personal hygiene.

Liang Yue then changed into a brand new gray cotton cloth lining, and walked towards the place where the dwarves lived while munching on a meat pie.

At this time, Thorin had already woken up. With the help of his MC specialty bed, this dwarf prince had recovered his usual energetic appearance.

In addition, now that the Dwarf King City has been successfully recovered, fulfilling his lifelong wish, Thorin is full of ambition, thinking about how to revitalize the entire race.

Imperceptibly, there was also a bit more of the wise and martial demeanor of a king on his face.

The surrounding dwarves were also sincerely convinced at this time, willing to work diligently under his command.

Even the little hobbit Bilbo Baggins was in a state of hard work and resentment at this time, helping the dwarves to sort out the messy things in the royal city, climbing up and down with a linen cloth and a basin to wash everywhere...

Liang Yue's arrival naturally immediately attracted everyone's attention. Thorin put down what he was doing at this time and came directly to him, and then gave this guy a deep bow.

The purpose, of course, was to thank him for his many rescues before, as well as the feat of successfully killing the evil dragon Smaug~

"I don't know, I haven't seen her since last night."

A dwarf with a braided black beard walked past him, carrying a basket full of trash.

"Oh~ Then I have to go look for it."

Subconsciously frowning, Liang Yue slowly walked out of the room.

His gaze swept over the crisscrossing staircases and the rows of rooms with unknown functions around him, and a sense of being in a maze arose in his heart.

Instinctively scratching his head, Liang Yue flipped his sleeve and took out the One Ring from his storage space, then put it on his finger.

"This ring allows me to enter the interlayer between the soul and reality, and it also allows me to see the souls of others. Even through a wall, people can't hide. Using it to find people is simply perfect!"

Sure enough, before he could take a few steps, just as he turned down a spiral staircase, a shining soul suddenly appeared in his sight.

Since Liang Yue wasn't familiar with the dwarven capital, he subconsciously followed the routes he knew while searching.

He was dizzy all the way, and before he paid much attention, he came directly to the huge treasure vault.

At this time, Arwen was hugging her knees, huddled in a corner of this sea of gold coins, surrounded by goldware and gems piled up like mountains, appearing very inconspicuous.

But under the soul vision of the One Ring, she was exceptionally dazzling!

A picture of gold and white intertwined~

To be precise, it was a shining golden soul, constantly circling around the white humanoid soul, intertwining up and down, like old tree roots, tightly wrapped around the humanoid soul!

Through the soul space perspective, Liang Yue could even faintly hear bursts of ethereal roars from the golden soul.

Seeming exceptionally powerful~!

"The white humanoid soul is naturally Arwen's, no doubt. I seem to recognize that golden one too. Although it has shrunk dozens of times in size, judging from some shape details.

That should be the soul of the dragon Smaug!"

"Tsk, it really is~ A lingering soul~!"

After taking off the One Ring, Liang Yue subconsciously pursed his lips. He jumped hard with his feet, and with a few steps, he drew a high parabola in the air and landed in the middle of the sea of gold coins.

"Clatter~"

"Who is it!"

The sound of the gold coins flowing immediately attracted Arwen's attention not far away.

But when she looked up and saw that the person was Liang Yue, the woman subconsciously moved back, while turning her gaze to the side.

"Don't come over."

"You seem to have a problem, Arwen~"

"I don't!"

"Let me guess, how about, during the time I was cultivating, Smaug's soul took the opportunity to entangle with you?"

"You, how did you… …"

Hearing this, Arwen's slightly pale face immediately turned around, her expression showing a bit of nervousness and astonishment, but then, her expression turned into a face full of rage~

And then roared at him in a coarse voice.

"Human! How did you find me!"

Seeing this, Liang Yue's expression on his face remained unchanged, and he still walked towards Arwen, whose face was constantly changing, unhurriedly.

At the same time, in order to answer the other party's doubts, this guy also took the Ring out of the storage space and shook it at the other party.

Suddenly, Arwen's pair of crystal clear lake-blue eyes were instantly rendered fiery red!

"Hahahaha~! The One Ring~ I didn't expect it to be on you! No wonder I couldn't find your whereabouts before. It seems I didn't lose unjustly!

But, now~"

Saying that, the corners of Arwen's mouth suddenly curved into a strange smile, and two fiery red vertical eyes stared straight at him.

With a quick flip of both hands, the longbow on her back was immediately held in her hand, and then she skillfully drew the bow and nocked an arrow, aiming at Liang Yue who was walking over, in one go.

But at the moment before firing the arrow, a look of struggle appeared on Arwen's face, her whole body trembling, and her limbs seemed to be disobedient.

That pair of originally fiery red eyes suddenly began to constantly change and flicker, switching back and forth between red and blue.

"Pa ta~" A sound.

In the end, the bow and arrow in her hand were thrown heavily on the ground!

"Go away! Liang Yue! I can't control myself now!"

"Hahahaha~ I didn't expect this elf's resistance to be quite fierce. Hmm~ She is even a princess, and her bloodline is very noble. Humans~ must like her, right?

It's a pity, it won't be long before her soul will completely become my slave, and she will never be freed. Her body will also be occupied by me and become my plaything!

Human, just watch your lover lose herself, watch her wither and degenerate, will your heart ache? You must be in pain now! If you have the guts, come and kill me, hahahahahaha~!"

"Tsk tsk~ Your acting talent is really not that good, and the lines you just said have too much of a stage play feel. You should add a little more life-like expression.

That way it will appear, more~ deeply rooted in people's hearts~"

Liang Yue came to the other party, and showed a bright smile while pulling at the corners of his mouth, but the exposed row of big white teeth seemed unusually cold and murderous at this time!
