Chapter 10 Ice Armor
Mysterious Rank!
It was all due to my own hard work and sweat.
Xia Ming reached the Xuan Rank at the age of 18!
This is unprecedented in the entire city of Yunjin.
Of course, this is related to the fact that the spiritual energy has not been restored for very long.
The idea that each generation surpasses the last is vividly demonstrated here.
Perhaps in the next generation, even more exceptionally talented individuals with even better resources will emerge.
Especially those newborns who are bathed in spiritual energy from birth, their energy channels will definitely be of higher quality than Xia Ming's generation.
In his first year of junior high school, the country officially launched martial arts classes. Xia Ming went to have his Qi meridians tested, and they were about five centimeters in diameter.
It floats in the dantian and is the key to absorbing and exhaling spiritual energy.
The larger the energy channels, the faster the energy enters, the more stable the energy gathering, and the less energy is lost in refining spiritual energy.
It grows along with your development, just like height; if you miss puberty, you can't grow any further.
By now, Xia Ming's Qi and meridians have been fully formed.
Seven centimeters!
He was one of the best in Xia Ming's generation, but he was no match for the later generations of martial artists.
In the new junior high school martial arts class, someone has already been measured to have a six-centimeter Qi meridian. After a few more years of development, it's almost certain that they will surpass Xia Ming.
Not to mention the infants still in their swaddling clothes, it would be even more exaggerated.
Although Xia Ming was full of confidence in his entry, this Qi Meridian is the key to your cultivation level.
Perhaps in ten years, the Xuan rank will no longer be a novelty at Yun Jin No. 3 Middle School.
Seeing that there was still a lot of spiritual energy left in the training room, Xia Ming, adhering to the principle of not wasting a single grain of rice, decided to...
He continued his Qi cultivation practice until evening before leaving the training room.
After breaking through to the Xuan rank, Xia Ming felt that his combat power was completely different from when he was at the Huang rank.
Although breaking through to the Yellow Rank is a qualitative change, it is the beginning of the transformation from internal force to true qi.
However, to be honest, that amount of true energy was not significantly different from a martial artist's internal strength.
During his battle with Ye Wen, none of the other onlookers, including Ye Wen himself, knew about his Yin power.
They assumed that Xia Ming had suppressed his internal energy with his true qi.
However, Xia Ming, who had been through it all, knew that the true qi of the Yellow Rank was nothing special.
Just like the computer he used in his previous life.
A ninth-level martial artist's internal energy is comparable to the integrated graphics of a decent CPU, while a yellow-level martial artist's true energy is like an entry-level dedicated graphics card.
Although, judging from its positioning, this computer already has a dedicated graphics card.
However, in actual use, there wasn't a significant difference in performance.
And the Xuan Rank...
Xia Ming felt the surging true energy within his body.
It's completely different now.
He looked at a stone in the yard that was fifty centimeters in diameter!
Extend your right hand, gather your energy, and strike out with your palm from a distance of five meters!
boom!
Crackling sounds!
Gravel flew everywhere!
The entire stone was smashed to pieces.
Xia Ming was extremely satisfied.
Although Ye Wen also performed a scene of breaking through the stone railing from a distance that day.
However, the balustrade was only about two centimeters thick, which is incomparable to this stone.
Moreover, Ye Wen had used the power of Shaoyang at that time, which was inherently more masculine and thus provided an amplification of his strength.
He had only casually mobilized the ordinary true energy within his body.
If Xia Ming were to fight Ye Wen now, he was confident that he could suppress Ye Wen, who was of a higher level, using only ordinary methods.
but……
He felt a little embarrassed about going down two steps.
"It seems we won't be able to make money off Young Master Ye anymore."
"Why……"
Xia Ming looked around, but no one was home.
My father was probably still at the bureau, and my mother was busy at the company. There was food prepared on the table, so I heated it up and ate until I was about 70% full.
Xia Ming then went to the open area of the courtyard.
I did a set of boxing moves to warm up my body.
When he used the Nine Yin White Bone Palm, a cold wind swept through the entire courtyard.
Luckily, no one was home at the time, otherwise we would have thought the outdoor unit of the air conditioner was installed backwards.
Xia Ming also noticed that as he broke through to the Xuan rank, he could feel that the Yin power he controlled had also increased.
Previously it was around 1%, now it's estimated to be around 3%.
He tried to activate the Yin energy within his body!
He gathered his inner energy in his palm and then activated the Nine Yin White Bone Palm.
In an instant, his palms were covered with a layer of frost.
It really looks like a skeleton.
Under the influence of the Yin energy, this layer of frost began to condense into ice!
When I used Taiyin True Qi to kick Ye Wen last time, it was just a feeling.
But now, his hands are practically covered with a layer of ice!
It's rock hard!
It's ice-cold!
However, this ice armor is rather bulky.
It's made it so hard for me to even make a fist!
But Xia Ming quickly found the correct way to use it.
There are two types!
One is pure defense!
He activated the Nine Yin White Bone Palm technique, mobilizing the Yin energy within his body.
There is no need to concentrate your inner energy in your hands or legs.
If you only activate the meridians near the chest, you can cover them with a layer of ice armor.
Increase your resilience to blows!
If it's an attack!
Then it is not necessary to completely cover the palm.
All you need to do is generate this old icy coldness on the contact surfaces such as your fingertips and toes.
Then you can enjoy the blessing of the Yin energy!
You'll never have to worry about encountering defensive martial arts techniques like "Thick Skin" again, where you can't break through and even get injured by the counterattack.
Unless the opponent is also two levels below you!
The only pity is that Xia Ming was unable to reshape the old ice created by the Taiyin True Qi.
Alternatively, it could be shaped directly into the size of a blade or a needle tip.
Whether it's a sneak attack or a direct assault, it's far better than the current ice armor.
Afterwards, Xia Ming practiced boxing techniques and physical training for several hours.
It wasn't until late at night that Xia Ming went to his room to sleep.
The following day, Monday.
Before even entering the school, I could hear a group of people looking worried.
They look just like students who haven't finished their homework.
No, it's because I didn't finish my homework.
Last Friday, most students made no significant progress on the knife-throwing assignment given by the martial arts teacher.
A group of people huddle together for warmth, trying to find someone worse off than themselves to gain psychological comfort.
"Hey, Lao Jiang, what should I do? I've only practiced my throwing knife range to 30 meters, and I still miss the target occasionally."
"30 meters? Cha Cha, you're really something! I tried 30 meters yesterday and almost killed my mom."
"No, I just want to ask, who the hell can see the bullseye 50 meters away with the naked eye? I think Ma Xiao is just deliberately making things difficult for people."
"Hello, Teacher Ma..."
Ma Xiao walked by, pretending not to hear.
"Oh no, Old Jiang, I'm definitely going to get targeted during martial arts class this afternoon."
……
Everyone looked worried, but Ye Wen, standing at the back of the crowd, seemed out of place.
With an extremely confident air, he urged everyone, "Oh dear, I always tell you to study hard, as if I'm the one who's harming you."
"Now that the crucial moment has arrived, all you do is complain endlessly?"
He's now one of the most popular figures in the school, so people naturally believe what he says.
But this is a throwing knife technique!
I've never heard of Ye Wen being good at throwing knives.
"Brother Ye, have you mastered the throwing knife technique? Could you share some of your insights?"
Ye Wen chuckled, as if he had been waiting for someone to ask that question.
"I can't throw knives! I went straight to the martial arts academy after the college entrance exam, what use is your high school diploma to me?"
He had just finished showing off when he noticed Xia Ming appearing in his field of vision.
He cleared his throat.
"Heh, this college entrance exam... I heard it's been extended this year... Holy crap, Xia Ming, you've reached the Profound Rank???"
