Chapter 647: Chapter 294: Old Memories

"Do I look like someone who’s ill?"

Qi Yuan was speechless.

People in this world seem to have an average intelligence that’s not up to par, and they’re also shortsighted.

With his looks, he was obviously highly intelligent; there was no way he was mentally ill.

Yang Shan glanced at Qi Yuan and nodded earnestly, "You do, and you don’t."

If he were truly mentally ill, how could he possess such martial arts talent?

He had only moved in a week ago, but he had watched Qi Yuan’s progress with his own eyes.

Such a speed, even among the martial arts Heaven Prides he knew, would be considered fast.

"How are your insights on the Innate Martial Techniques coming along?" Yang Shan shifted the topic back to business.

He had to admit, he held this young man, Qi Yuan, in high regard, as if seeing his younger self.

Although, he wasn’t even forty yet.

Qi Yuan, upon hearing Yang Shan’s words, bowed his head in thought, recalling the scene from just before.

Seeing this, a smile appeared in Yang Shan’s eyes, "The first time I encountered Innate Martial Techniques, I was astonished by their mystery, believing them to have the potential for transcendence... Unfortunately..."

His voice carried a hint of nostalgia for the past.

Innate Martial Techniques seemed mysterious, but under the scrutiny of science, they were actually... just so.

Of course, deceiving someone like Qi Yuan, who wasn’t even a Martial Artist, was very effective.

"The core of Innate Martial Techniques... should be the Bloodline?" At this moment, Qi Yuan lifted his head to look at Yang Shan with a serious expression.

Yang Shan was stunned, his heart pounding.

"How do you know that?"

His face showed disbelief.

This was the first time he had lost his composure like this since leaving the military.

Qi Yuan’s answer had completely taken him by surprise.

The research on Innate Martial Techniques had never ceased since ancient times.

Yet, despite years of research, there were no conclusive findings.

All sorts of heresies and cults emerged instead.

Today’s Peak Martial Artists, joining together, had spent vast amounts of capital, manpower, and martial power to unveil just a corner of the mystery of Innate Martial Techniques.

As a Peak Martial Artist, he had taken part in this research.

The latest findings suggested that Innate Martial Techniques might be related to blood.

To be honest, Sun God was startled upon learning this conclusion.

How could Martial Arts... be related to something as unrelated as blood?

The circle of Peak Martial Artists was shaken at the time.

Of course, the shock was confined to their small circle.

This matter was never leaked.

Qi Yuan, being merely the orphan of a common martyr, certainly wouldn’t know about it.

How then did Qi Yuan come to know of this?

He couldn’t help but wonder.

"I saw it." Qi Yuan said nonchalantly.

"You saw it?" Yang Shan looked doubtful, seemingly unconvinced by Qi Yuan’s claim.

"When you used your Innate Martial Techniques, there was a slight boiling in your blood." Qi Yuan smiled, "My eyesight is very good. I’m not shortsighted."

"Slight boiling?" Yang Shan pondered Qi Yuan’s words.

This slight boiling was probably not limited to the blood.

When he executed Thunder Palm, his entire body boiled, not just his blood.

Why did Qi Yuan specifically mention blood?

Was it a coincidence... or a talent?

Many thoughts flashed through his mind.

If it was a coincidence, fine, but if it was a talent... That would be terrifying.

It would mean Qi Yuan was exceedingly suited for Martial Arts.

He might even have the chance to enter the peak of Martial Arts, becoming one of the strongest in the martial arts world.

Although... he still wouldn’t compare to those who took high-grade Gene Potions, it was still frightening.

"Innate Martial Techniques are an exhibition of blood boiling at a certain frequency, indeed... they do have a slight connection to the extraordinary," Qi Yuan stated confidently.

He had already understood the issue with Vault Star Martial Arts showing weakness.

It was because the Bloodline was too diluted.

Take, for example, Yang Shan’s execution of Thunder Palm just now; the blood boiling was too minimal.

"Do you know how to break through the Martial Arts Limit?" Qi Yuan asked Yang Shan.

"I don’t know. If I did, I wouldn’t be here.

You, who aren’t even a Martial Artist, know?" Yang Shan was intrigued.

His look towards Qi Yuan had changed.

If before he saw Qi Yuan as a highly talented genius, now he felt... it was different.

"To break the Martial Arts Limit, you have to recognize a father," Qi Yuan seriously shared his insight, "The Martial Arts of Vault Star should be called Bloodline Martial Dao.

If your father breaks through the Martial Arts Limit and ascends to a higher realm, then... your Bloodline will also leap, and your potential and strength in Martial Arts will increase."

Yang Shan pondered, frowning, and after a long time said, "What you’re saying... I somewhat understand."

This sort of conjecture had also circulated in the circle of Peak Martial Artists.

The ancients were powerful because of rich Bloodlines.

Modern people are weaker because of some kind of diluted Bloodline.

Of course, this was only speculation, not a definitive conclusion.

"But I can’t even break the Martial Artist Limit... let alone my father?

Although I’d love to lie flat and let my dad do the hard work, it’s undoubtedly a fantasy!" Yang Shan said seriously.

His father’s Martial Arts Talent was not even as good as his.

In this world, even the most hopeful Peak Martial Artists dared not confidently claim they could break through the Martial Arts Limit.

"That’s easy, recognize me as your father, and when I break through, your Bloodline might leap, breaking through the Martial Arts Limit!"

"Get lost!"

Yang Shan was angry.

Qi Yuan just smiled, "It seems your determination to break the Martial Arts Limit isn’t strong enough.

I’ve gained some insights and need to go and refine my own Martial skills, bye."

After speaking, Qi Yuan left directly.
