Chapter 616: Chapter 307 I’m Here to Pick Up My Disciple_2

Seemingly guessing what Jiang Shouzhong was thinking, the great Elder smiled and said, "Over the years, we’ve tried countless methods, including recombination, but none have been successful."

Jiang Shouzhong smiled awkwardly and observed the stone wall again.

To get a clearer view, he unconsciously stepped forward, only to accidentally tread on a bone of an ancestor.

Jiang Shouzhong hastily moved his foot away, "Sorry, sorry."

The great Elder laughed, "It doesn’t matter, many disciples have stepped on it before, and once a dog even entered the cave and almost snatched away the ancestor’s bones, it’s nothing."

Jiang Shouzhong didn’t quite know what to say at the moment.

He bent down to pick up the bone and placed it at the base of the stone wall.

However, just then, a deathly aura suddenly emanated from Jiang Shouzhong’s body.

The deathly aura swept over the bones.

Instantaneously, the surroundings darkened, as if the whole space had been splashed with ink.

A thick black liquid slowly spread under his feet...

The white bones that had been scattered for many years were slowly bonding together and then stood up.

The inky space continued to expand, becoming more and more oppressive.

This was...

Jiang Shouzhong was incredibly shocked in his heart.

This scene was exactly like the one he had when he talked to those dead people!

Only, in the past, talking to a corpse had a time limit, the death of the corpse couldn’t exceed seven days, yet now, he could talk to bones?

What was going on?

Hardly... had the hidden cheat been upgraded?

However, the next scene once again caught Jiang Shouzhong by surprise. The ancestor’s skeleton didn’t lie or sit to answer questions but assumed a stance to start practicing punches.

The style of boxing being practiced was naturally the Eight Extremes Sky-Burning Fist.

It was very similar to the boxing manual on the stone wall but different, Jiang Shouzhong noticed that after every set of boxing moves, the ancestor’s skeleton would perform an additional punch on its own.

The originally simple boxing became incredibly profound and complex, containing a multitude of changes.

Amidst these myriad changes, the boxing style naturally exhibited a special boxing intent, as vast as the Eight Extremes, like the great river flowing eastward, or the stars setting the prairie on fire, and then burning the sky.

In between the opening and closing moves, it was countless times more ferocious than the boxing style he had learned before.

Jiang Shouzhong subconsciously started to learn it.

Logically, without the enhancement of the Yin Yang River Map, with Jiang Shouzhong’s root bone talent, it would be very hard for him to practice such profound boxing.

However, at this moment, he managed to grasp the essence of the boxing easily.

It was as if with every punch he threw, there was an invisible force correcting him.

While Jiang Shouzhong was following the ancestor’s skeleton to practice the punches, the great Elder and Li Nanshuang saw a completely different scene inside the cave.

In their eyes, Jiang Shouzhong was just standing in front of the stone wall, practicing punches.

At first, the great Elder didn’t care much, thinking that the other party was just cultivating according to the manual.

But as he watched, his expression became grave, and he was shocked to find that the boxing Jiang Shouzhong was performing was completely different from the manual on the stone wall!

"This boxing..."

The great Elder’s eyes gradually widened as he murmured, "Is this the true, complete version of the Eight Extremes Sky-Burning Fist!?"

The boxing intent was vast, like the ocean, stirring the cave.

The entire mountain seemed to be in the midst of surging waves, surrounded by a majestic and broad tide of boxing momentum.

Above Huoyun Mountain, a scorching breath quietly rose, resonating with the boxing intent, and gradually gathered into an enormous red cloud, bright red in color, as hot as the fires of hell, burning intensely.

As the boxing intent continued to condense, an outline of a massive fist gradually appeared in the red cloud.

Noticing the commotion, many Elders and disciples were stunned by the sight and started heading toward the cave, wanting to know what had happened.

Shi Luoxia and his wife Yan Xishi arrived at the cave first.

When Shi Luoxia saw Jiang Shouzhong practicing punches, he paused and muttered, "It’s amazing to see this brat comprehending the true Eight Extremes Sky-Burning Fist."

The patterns of the boxing manual on the wall changed.

The little figures in these patterns also started to practice punches along with Jiang Shouzhong, and the way to chant the formulas and circulate the meridians reappeared, shining with a golden glow.

"Worthy of being the man favored by Nan Shuang, he really is impressive."

Yan Xishi’s eyes sparkled.

Shi Luoxia scratched his head and murmured:

"Did I misjudge? Is this kid a genius? No, it must be a fluke, with such poor root bone talent, how could he be so impressive?"

Yan Xishi snorted coldly, "You think everyone’s like you, utterly ordinary with no talent at all."

Shi Luoxia chuckled, shrugging his head without daring to utter a word.

The eldest elder, looking at Jiang Shouzhong engrossed in his fist technique, frowned and said, "Jiang Mo is after all an outsider, is it really okay for him to practice the Eight Extremes Sky-Burning Fist like this?"

Yan Xishi’s eyes widened as she retorted, "He is Nan Shuang’s man, which makes him our son-in-law of Huoyun Mountain. What outsider?"

After being shouted at by the woman, the eldest elder didn’t dare to speak further.

As more and more people flocked to the cave dwelling, to prevent Jiang Shouzhong from being disturbed, the eldest elder hurriedly organized the elders to drive the disciples out and stood guard at the entrance as protectors.

Shi Luoxia and others also left the cave dwelling.

However, the boxing charts on the wall floated out on their own, hovering in the air.

Upon seeing this, the disciples eagerly began to practice as well.

Initially, the eldest elder was worried that disciples with inferior realms might go awry from practicing too hastily, but as the boxing intent around Jiang Shouzhong continued to spread out, it seemed to have a protective effect, allowing everyone to practice smoothly without impediment.

Only, their power was no match for Jiang Shouzhong’s.

Moreover, as more and more people practiced, there seemed to be a stream of boxing intent converging towards Jiang Shouzhong.

Jiang Shouzhong’s punching became even fiercer.

...

Atop another peak.

The current Sect Leader of Huoyun Mountain, who was usually elusive, now sat on a tree branch in a tattered robe, holding a wine jar and smiling at the scene before him.

"Externally training muscles, bones, and skin, internally cultivating spirit and energy, using the fist as a medium to connect heaven, earth, and man, achieving unity of body and mind, cultivating both internally and externally... This lad does have some destiny on his side," he said.

The Sect Leader of Huoyun Mountain tilted his head back and took a swig of alcohol.

Under the tree, the crazy Elder Qianshi, holding two chicks, mumbled incomprehensibly to himself.

The Sect Leader glanced at Elder Qianshi, then looked toward the vast and unparalleled Fiery Cloud Giant Fist in the sky and burst out laughing, "Nan Shuang really has good taste."

With that, he tossed the wine jar into the air and laughed loudly, "The fist is not merely a fist, it represents the way; the fight is not merely a fight, it represents harmony. The fist, the way, the heart, all return to the grand way of heaven and earth... Congratulations on your comprehension of the way of the fist, you rascal!"

——

A black dot suddenly darted through the clouds in the sky.

It was a falcon.

Shi Luoxia raised her arm to catch the falcon, undid the string tied to its ankle, and took off a small, exquisitely crafted bamboo tube. From the bamboo tube, she withdrew a scroll of paper.

"It’s from your wife."

Shi Luoxia handed the paper to Yan Xishi.

After reading the content on the paper, Yan Xishi said with a peculiar expression, "Turns out it wasn’t Shuang’er who initiated the wedding abduction, it was this lad who dumped the Ran Family’s bride."

"Don’t talk nonsense!"

The sharp-eared Li Nanshuang glared with her almond-shaped eyes, "There’s a misunderstanding here, Jiang Mo is not that kind of person."

Shi Luoxia and Yan Xishi glanced at each other, feeling somewhat helpless.

It seemed that their young disciple had completely fallen into that lad’s love web.

She would probably even help count the money after selling herself out.

Yan Xishi snorted coldly and looking towards the cave entrance, said, "No matter whether he is a playboy or not, as long as he is chosen by Nan Shuang, he has to obey and stay on Huoyun Mountain from now on."

"How did Qingchen respond?" Li Nanshuang was more concerned about Mugua.

Yan Xishi passed the paper to Li Nanshuang:

"You are too late, Ran Qingchen has left the Capital. The person I sent didn’t see her. I guess that girl might be considering becoming a nun."

"Nonsense, she might be looking for Jiang Mo," said Li Nanshuang with a frown. "When Jiang Mo comes out, I’ll go with her to find Mugua."

No sooner had she spoken than she was met with Yan Xishi’s objection, "Neither of you are allowed to go. Wait until your body has recovered, until you’re married and have children, there is no hurry then."

"Why not?"

Li Nanshuang was very dissatisfied.

Yan Xishi spoke domineeringly, "Because I am your mistress, and because my fists are bigger than yours. If that lad really wants to leave, let him beat your master first."

Shi Luoxia, standing aside, unconditionally supported his wife.

Li Nanshuang puffed up her cheeks, annoyed, "Aren’t you afraid Senior Yan will come to discipline you? Besides, Jiang Mo has more than one powerful master. You’ll regret this."

Yan Xishi laughed upon hearing this, "Yan Changqing wouldn’t be unreasonable, would he? As for other masters, no one else matters."

No sooner had the woman finished speaking than snowflakes suddenly began to fall from the sky.

Shi Luoxia turned sharply.

There, in plain hemp clothing and simple hairpins but exuding a temperament of cool elegance, Dugu Luoxue stood lightly on a section of a tree branch.

"My friend and fellow teacher, I have come to fetch my disciple," she said.
