Chapter 440: Strength greatly increased

Ye Qiu was proficient in many martial arts techniques, particularly in his deep study of Tai Chi.

Tai Chi emphasizes a balance of hardness and softness. It can be fiercely dominant, killing an elephant with a single punch, and yet it can also be gentle like water, achieving the deftness of deflecting a thousand pounds with just four ounces.

The originally distinct black Qi and True Qi within his body, under Ye Qiu’s deepening comprehension of the two aspects of Tai Chi, automatically fused together in his mind.

This left Ye Qiu somewhat amused and frustrated.

He had indeed considered the possibility that the two types of energy might integrate into one. What he had not expected was for this change to occur while he was utterly confused.

He wasn’t sure whether this was good or bad for him.

Before the fusion, when Ye Qiu harnessed the power of the black Qi, he could contend with the sss level beast-man Ju Lu and had reached the legendary realm. Though it was for a brief period and took a great toll on him, his power really underwent a tremendous change.

Now, with the black Qi fused with True Qi, what kind of strength would he possess when he called upon it?

Ye Qiu couldn’t help but stir the Yin Yang Water Droplet suspended in his Dantian. It looked like a large water bead, with black and white hues rotating endlessly, like yin-yang fish swimming around.

The Yin Yang Water Droplet, following Ye Qiu’s will, differentiated a force that, guided by him, materialized in his hands.

In an instant, the air in the room fluctuated with the emergence of this force.

Half-black, half-white water droplets floated over his fingertips, yet Ye Qiu’s expression was very serious.

From them, he sensed a power no weaker than that of a bomb. If he flicked it gently, shooting the droplet out, he believed it would shatter everything in front of him.

What appeared to be a mere droplet of water contained an immense energy in a compressed state.

How powerful!

Ye Qiu felt a surge of joy. This power was no less than that of the legendary realm. Knowing Bai Xiong’s capabilities—as Bai Xiong had trained aimlessly with him for over ten days—Ye Qiu was well aware of his terror. Yet, the energy within this water droplet was no less potent than Bai Xiong’s fierce strike.

Despite the mysterious figure’s assessment that Bai Xiong was not in the true legendary realm—being a pseudo-legendary realm with raw power and crude skills in wielding that power.

Still, the title of ’legendary’ was there. Once associated with the legendary, it was no longer comparable to the True Qi realm. The gap between them was too vast, and Ye Qiu had deeply experienced the huge disparity in their powers.

Even at the pinnacle of the late stage of the True Qi realm, facing a legendary realm, one would still be outmatched without any chance of fighting back.

Just like how originally, Adam had thrashed him. If it weren’t for his last-minute activation of the black Qi’s power, turning himself dark, he would have perished in the volcano.

Staring at the Yin Yang Water Droplet, Ye Qiu realized that his current situation was somewhat similar to that of beasts like Bai Xiong and Ju Lu, who relied on technological enhancement. They possessed power of the legendary realm, but like him, they had a superficial control and understanding of that power.

"I’m also half a step into the legendary realm now!" Ye Qiu couldn’t help feeling sentimental. He had only just broken through to the peak period not long ago, and now he had taken another step, touching the threshold of the legendary realm. This sudden change was beyond even his expectations.

In fact, Ye Qiu had accumulated enough experience. He had fought with the beast-men, faced life and death with Adam, killed Ju Lu, took Bai Xiong as a sparring partner, and received guidance from the mysterious figure. Though all of this happened within a month, it was an astonishing treasure, rapidly enriching Ye Qiu’s experiences. It was only a matter of time before he would touch the legendary realm. The opportunity of watching the Wall Guardian had just hastened that moment.

As for the mysterious black Qi, Ye Qiu still hadn’t fully understood it. However, the fact that it could fuse with True Qi meant that his power was increasing, certainly surpassing the strength of the black Qi on its own.

Ye Qiu had already experimented with this, the power of the black and white gaseous droplets surpassed that of any individual force before.

"The unique fusion of powers not only enhanced my strength but also allowed me to wield this power without affecting my mind. In this way, the downside has silently disappeared," Ye Qiu thought of himself when he previously mobilized the black energy, which seemed filled with a murderous intent.

But now, his heart felt much more peaceful and calm.

Ye Qiu once again felt the power of the Yin Yang Water Bead within his Dantian as he gradually got used to the increased strength.

As time went by, it soon reached the latter half of the night.

After a long while, Ye Qiu opened his eyes.

He could now wield this power as easily as he had previously controlled True Qi, without the slightest obstruction. A smile appeared on his face, and all his worries dissipated. In the future, he just needed to deepen his realm’s enlightenment, and someday, he would become a true legendary realm master.

No one would have thought that Ye Qiu could enter the legendary realm at his age. Although he was not yet a true legendary realm master, he had touched the threshold of the legendary realm, and it was not difficult to reach the true legendary realm with the accumulation of time.

If Meng Pengxiao saw this scene, he probably wouldn’t entertain the thought of being Ye Qiu’s enemy again. Even if he watched the Wall of Martial Arts and comprehended a complete set of fighting techniques, he would still stand no chance against Ye Qiu, who was half a step into the legendary realm.

Those who have reached this step are no longer mere mortals; there is a fundamental difference between the two.

"In the end, I must thank the Wall of Martial Arts, which helped the two energies to merge. Otherwise, to reach this realm, it would take at least half a year," Ye Qiu said to himself.

Speaking of the Wall of Martial Arts, Ye Qiu remembered the various postures of human stone steles on the wall, with each direction connecting to form a set of kung fu—a mural that captivated anyone who saw it.

If it weren’t for the aberration within the black energy in his Dantian that startled him halfway, he wouldn’t have awakened and noticed the abnormality of the Wall of Martial Arts.

At the same time, he was filled with doubts about that Wall Guardian, always feeling that there was a conspiracy. Ye Qiu was not a conspiracy theorist; this was just an unfounded guess, a perception from within himself.

If asked to clarify what the conspiracy was, Ye Qiu couldn’t explain.

"Perhaps with my current realm, I haven’t touched upon the great secret within. The old man said that if I was lucky, I would see him again. Let’s not think about it for now. At least the Wall of Martial Arts has given me quite some inspiration and evolved the last three moves of the Eagle Snake Xuan Hand."

"The first move, Eagle Snake Xuan Hand."

"The second move, Hawk-Serpent Double Dance."

As for the third move, he already had a direction in mind. In fact, the moves deduced from the human stone steles on the Wall of Martial Arts could be considered the third move. However, Ye Qiu thought he would like to ponder it a bit more before confirming it.

After arranging the techniques of the Eagle Snake Xuan Hand, Ye Qiu had a clear picture in his heart. Now, whether it was his strength or his realm, both had been reviewed, and Ye Qiu was full of confidence in his martial future.

"I wonder what insights the others have gained?" Ye Qiu thought of the other nine members of the Ten Owls, whose gains were probably not less than his.

However, even if those people had comprehended powerful moves, Ye Qiu remained unfazed. He firmly believed that with his strength and the mysterious Yin Yang Water Droplet, he could defeat any opponent, even if it was the top owl, Huangfu Jun.

Suddenly, Ye Qiu’s eyes flickered as he remembered the reward given after acquiring the status of one of the Ten Owls—a secret manual that he hadn’t yet read.

So, in the latter half of the night, Ye Qiu flipped through the secret manual in his hands until the sky brightened.
