#233 - "Light as a Swallow"
After a round of slaughter, Liang Yue left calmly, leaving behind only a scene of severed limbs and the sorrowful cries of the surviving Kongtong Sect members.
Afterward, Liang Yue even left a bottle of ancient fruit wine specifically for the Kongtong members to detoxify.
According to his speculation, although the effect of the Ten Fragrance Limp Tendon Powder was extremely potent, once poisoned, one would feel weakness and limpness throughout the body in no time, and even internal energy could not be used.
However, this kind of aggressive toxin effect should actually be a very special neurotoxin, just like the poison concocted by the One Finger Hall of Western Xia in "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils", the Grief Breeze.
The medicinal effect was equally strong, and even more potent than the Ten Fragrance Limp Tendon Powder. After being poisoned, one would almost immediately fall into a stiff state, unable to move, and the internal energy within the body would also be unable to be mobilized.
However, such a potent medicine only required smelling a special, slightly smelly odor, and the toxic effect would be immediately dispelled, with instant results!
This was enough to show that this type of poison was not as strong as it seemed. As long as the right approach was found, solving it was actually only a matter of time.
Of course, that's what he said, but Liang Yue certainly didn't have the leisure to waste time on these unorthodox things.
After pouring out a small cup of ancient wine and feeding it to a Kongtong Sect disciple, and finding that his wine could indeed detoxify, it proved that his guess was correct.
After handing the bottle of wine to this disciple, Liang Yue immediately ran away.
He rushed down the mountain at the fastest speed, not even going into the town. Using the lightness skill of "Crossing the River on a Reed", he headed directly east, sprinting towards Mount Hua~
......
After experiencing the Kongtong Sect's sweep, Liang Yue's mind suddenly became clear.
The appearance of the Earth Crystal was like a guiding light, constantly reminding him in his heart.
That was ~ Although the current world was a martial arts world with a familiar plot, its essence was completely different from reality, and also completely different from those national arts-like parallel worlds.
Here, there were not only systematic martial arts inheritances, social structures, and all aspects of life, but also some rare treasures that could rival magic, fantasy, and even immortal cultivation worlds.
Thinking this in his mind, Liang Yue's heart suddenly surged with morale, and he unconsciously increased his speed.
Silently running the "Crossing the River on a Reed", he also used the strength of his body.
In an instant, his speed was like electricity, his figure blurred like a black line. Each step he took could cross a distance of fifty or sixty meters, roaring across the earth like a gust of wind.
In just a few breaths, he had disappeared into the hills surrounding Mount Kongtong.
......
Soon, another half day passed.
It was still night, and the sky was gloomy. When Liang Yue arrived at the foot of Mount Hua, there were still several hours before dawn.
So, he ran up the mountain for a while, found an inconspicuous mound in the forest, and after a burst of activity, he dug out a spacious cave on the spot.
Then he sealed the door, put down the bed, and after lying on it, he began to sleep soundly.
Soon, with a blink of an eye, it was morning.
The sky outside was still gloomy, and there were occasional rumbling thunder sounds overhead, it looked like it was going to rain.
However, after re-opening the cave door, Liang Yue did not rush to the mountain to muddle the waters.
After all, he came quickly this time, but the Mongol army had not yet arrived.
This water ~ is not turbid enough for the time being ~
So, after cleaning up his personal hygiene and eating breakfast, Liang Yue took advantage of this time to take out the lightness skill called "Swift Meteor" and began to study it intently.
After a half day of non-stop rushing yesterday, the "Crossing the River on a Reed", which was already close to max level, was finally maxed out by him.
As a result, this lightness skill was indeed worthy of being the highest product from a beginner-level plane. The attributes after reaching the max level were indeed amazing to Liang Yue~!
......

......
It is worth mentioning that the appearance of the attribute "Light as a Swallow" can indeed allow practitioners of the general "Crossing the River on a Reed" to achieve the effect of drifting with the waves on a reed through the skills of this lightness technique.
The so-called one breath of dantian qi, drifting with the waves at will ~
That scene must be very dashing ~!
It is just a pity that Liang Yue here cannot perform it at all ~
Not to mention standing on a reed and floating in the river, even standing on a slightly thinner tree trunk, he may sink into the water if he is not careful.
The reason for this is still due to the problem of this guy's physical fitness ~
The powerful physical fitness, which is more than ten times that of ordinary people, gives him a strong physique. In this case, Liang Yue's weight will naturally increase along with it.
Although it cannot be said that weight is absolutely linked to the four-dimensional attributes such as strength, agility, and constitution, it is indeed the case to a certain extent.
Now Liang Yue, unknowingly, has reached a weight of more than 500 pounds......
The muscles, bones, and even skin of his whole body have already undergone an unknown qualitative change under the increase in powerful attributes.
To be honest, Liang Yue didn't even know how he would explain this matter to the school and the surrounding classmates during the final exam physical examination later ~
Think about it, how can a fat man weighing more than 500 pounds, and without much fat in his body, stand on a reed and float in the lake?
At least at this stage, he certainly cannot do it.
However, this passive effect of being light as a swallow has also solved his embarrassing situation to a certain extent.
Through the effect of lightness, lifting qi, and internal qi bonus, Liang Yue can maintain himself at a normal person's weight in a short time.
Let's get back to the topic ~
Different from "Crossing the River on a Reed", this lightness skill "Swift Meteor" obtained from the Kongtong Sect is indeed a technique inheritance that has been included in the ranks of divine skills by the system.
Compared to the former, this lightness skill is even more complex, and it is also a self-contained system......
The so-called self-contained system means that it is the same as skills such as Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, Evil Resisting Swordplay, Wind God's Leg, and Heavenly Frost Fist.
When practicing the skills and moves, it will automatically cultivate its own set of internal cultivation methods belonging to this skill.
Or like the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, from the outside to the inside, when cultivated to a certain stage, true qi will naturally be generated and run according to a certain route.
The Evil Resisting Swordplay, which is derived from the Sunflower Manual, can only exert the power of this swordplay with the unique internal energy in this skill.
Or, from the beginning of cultivation, both internal and external cultivation are required. Wind God's Leg, Heavenly Frost Fist, and Cloud Dispelling Palm all belong to this type of path.
And this kind of skill with its own system that requires unique true qi to supply it will often be more powerful than ordinary martial arts skills.
The only problem is that if the person who has cultivated this level of skill cannot match the original internal energy attributes in the body, there will be various rejections, true qi confusion, and even end up in a state of qi deviation.
It is roughly equivalent to the group of people in Shaolin Temple who are greedy and can't chew, and forcibly go to practice multiple Seventy-Two Arts.
Unable to supply the needs of multiple internal and external cultivation techniques with a highly inclusive internal skill, and even in the end, there will be mistakes in practice, which is a mistake that only beginners make.
The explanation given by Shaolin Temple for this is often that their Buddhist practice is not up to par, and they have not been able to resolve the hostility in these various skills, resulting in harm to themselves......
In fact, this is just a plausible statement, to put it bluntly ~ it is bragging!
At the same time, this also reflects a fact from the side, that is, the Seventy-Two Arts in Shaolin Temple are not a consistent system of skills at all ~
It is not known where these so-called Seventy-Two Arts came from!
The current "Swift Meteor" is such a skill with a separate internal training system, which can be described as broad and profound, making Liang Yue happy to see it.
But unfortunately, it seems that it is somewhat incompatible with the internal energy produced by his "Primal Chaos Skill".
Although the Taoist lineage of skills basically takes the path of neutrality and peace, giving people the feeling of being gentle and slow, Taoist law is natural, and then starting to exert force later.
But "Primal Chaos Skill" is actually a different kind among them.
Don't look at the fact that it seems very simple to practice. With the Primal Chaos Stance, as long as you stand there and pose, control your breathing and internal energy operation, you can practice.
In fact, the inner workings cultivated by this skill are known for their great power, and it is basically impossible to match them with neutrality and peace.
