Chapter 23: Re-encountering the Red Lion

  Du Fei left the cave with Xiao Hei and returned to Ci Fu Pavilion, where he stayed for nearly half a month. During this time, Du Fei focused on cultivating Tian Yuan Jue's Guiyuan Duan, and his cultivation level increased by one level, reaching the fifth level of Breaking Body. His skills had also made some progress, but it would still take some time to achieve great success with Guiyuan Duan. However, he was frustrated that he couldn't control elements without reaching the Kontrol Yuan realm. Du Fei thought about how his meridians were much stronger than those of ordinary Kontrol Yuan practitioners due to the effects of Qiyuan Dan, but he had no way to utilize them. He could only rely on physical combat when fighting low-level yuan beasts, which was completely untechnical. From time to time, Du Fei would complain to Wu Zi Tian Shu or Xiao Hei. Xiao Hei was more tolerant and would simply bark in response. However, Wu Zi Tian Shu was not so easy to talk to, either scolding Du Fei harshly or ignoring him altogether.

  Another sunny morning, Du Fei still got up early to practice his Qi as usual. But today was different from the past few days. Du Fei felt that he hadn't gone out for actual combat in many days, and his hands and feet were itching, so he decided to go out and find a Yuan beast to practice on. Just as Du Fei was about to leave, the white light of the Wordless Heavenly Book lit up. Du Fei opened the book and saw...

  "Hey kid, aren't you always complaining to me that your energy is too much and has nowhere to go? I actually have a way for you to effectively use up your energy. Want to give it a try?"

  "What's your solution? What kind of solution? You're not going to come up with some hare-brained scheme to trick me, are you?" Du Fei asked skeptically.

  "Look at your conscience, it's a bit too small. Would I be the kind of person who harms others? I asked if you wanted to try, just answer me, what's with all these useless words." Wrote Tian Shu in his room.

  "Let's hear it out and see what kind of method it is," said Du Fei.

  "It's actually not a big deal, it's just a martial skill, but this martial skill has a bit of a chicken rib feeling, very few controllers will practice it, because the effect of practicing this martial skill is to increase hand-to-hand combat skills, and there's no great use for it, are you still going to practice?" The Heavenly Book wrote.

  "Only suitable for close combat? Can't use elements? Hmm! It does feel a bit useless. But you still tell me what this martial skill is. I'll know and consider it." Du Fei shrugged his shoulders and said.

  "This martial art utilizes the yuanqi to fight in close combat, and with so much yuanqi in your body, practicing it might even improve your melee abilities. It's not a bad finishing move either. Although Controllers mainly focus on controlling elements to fight, under your current conditions, practicing this won't bring any losses." The Heavenly Book wrote.

  "Alright, I'll give it a try. Hmph, why didn't you bring this out for me to practice earlier? You're only bringing it out now?" Du Fei said with a slanted gaze at the Wordless Heavenly Book, giving off a sly and cunning impression.

  "Kid, you still doubt my intentions? I used to think it wasn't necessary for you to practice this stuff, but you've been bothering me every day, and I couldn't take it anymore. I spent all last night searching just for you, and you're not even grateful? Forget it, don't bother practicing then. Just go ahead and use your 'Evil Dog Flings Feces' technique to fight the Yuan Beast." The words on the Wordless Heavenly Book were written in a somewhat disorganized manner, clearly expressing complaint.

  "Haha, don't be so petty, I didn't mean it that way, don't get angry, I'm not even done practicing yet. You know what I mean." Du Fei now had a benevolent smile on his face as he gazed at the wordless heavenly book, but in his heart, he was thinking: "You little brat will know who's boss once you hand over the book to me."

  "Consider yourself lucky, take a good look." The heavenly book was finished in an instant and split into several pieces of paper. On the papers were recorded the very martial skills that he had found for Du Fei.

  Du Fei flipped through the pages and said, "Close combat martial skills, Crazy Yuan Fist. Oh, it feels pretty good, let's practice." After reading the book once, Du Fei memorized the content and started practicing according to what was written in the book. Although the Crazy Yuan Fist was a close combat martial skill that couldn't use elements, after practicing, Du Fei found out that this martial skill had many benefits for himself. At least when he fought against yuan beasts in the future, he wouldn't be as disorganized as before, and his fighting efficiency would be higher. Du Fei was still quite satisfied with this somewhat useful martial skill.

  Du Fei has been practicing the Crazy Yuan Fist for about five days now, and it's got to be said that this guy is simply a monster. In just a few short days, he's already mastered the entire fist technique. If other Yuan Masters were to practice this fist technique, it would take them at least several months, or even longer. Actually, Du Fei's speed of practice is also related to his daily battles with those magical beasts in the forest. Originally, Du Fei had developed a very strong physique and extremely high combat skills from fighting in the forest, but he had never carefully studied his close combat techniques before. This time, he was fortunate enough to practice the Crazy Yuan Fist, and within just a few short days, Du Fei learned how to use the most effortless way to achieve the strongest physical attack. The Crazy Yuan Fist is like a comb, reorganizing Du Fei's previously disorganized close combat skills, making them look even more fluid. That's why Du Fei was able to master the Crazy Yuan Fist in just five short days.

  Du Fei felt that after his practice, his overall strength had increased significantly. He hastily ran outside to search for the yuan beast experiment. The Wordless Heavenly Book was also stuck on Du Fei's left hand, accompanying him.

  As he walked, Du Fei finally found a yuan beast that was relatively satisfactory. He quietly hid behind a large tree on the back of the yuan beast, and saw that the yuan beast stood upright on two legs, with its hands over its knees, and its entire body covered in dark fur, completely resembling a giant ape, except it was about twice as big as a giant ape. Du Fei carefully asked the Wordless Heavenly Book: "What kind of yuan beast is that? What level is it?"

  "That guy is called Black Furred Great Ape. Low-class Yuan Beast, its strong point is its strength, its body is very agile, it has a violent temper, and its weakness is that it loves to eat bananas." The wordless heavenly book wrote quickly.

  "Oh, so it's just a low-level Yuan Beast? Then don't blame your grandfather for being ruthless!" Du Fei said.

  Excitedly jumping in front of the yuan beast, he provoked: "Little boy, come and be my punching bag." After finishing speaking, he rushed towards the giant ape with a fierce punch. The giant ape looked at Du Fei's sudden attack, still not reacting, when Du Fei's fist had already landed on the giant ape's cheek. The black ape felt a sharp pain in its brain, and instinctively went crazy, slapping its own chest with its hands, staring viciously at Du Fei, and roaring: "Ahh!"

  Du Fei saw that with just one punch, without using much strength, the black gorilla was in so much pain, and couldn't help but feel a little excited: "This boxing technique really is useful!" He then smiled at his fist.

  At this time, the gorilla was already furious, running quickly towards Du Fei, clapping its hands together and slamming them towards Du Fei. Du Fei saw the gorilla's powerful blow coming towards him and was taken aback, but he didn't panic. He concentrated all his energy into his right fist, just as the gorilla's punch was about to hit Du Fei's head. Du Fei met it with a punch of his own, and the two forces clashed in mid-air. After the exchange, Du Fei retreated several meters, shaking his right hand and saying: "This Crazy Yuan Fist is indeed formidable! If it were before, I wouldn't have dared to take on such a powerful blow, but now it's not a big problem." Du Fei looked at the gorilla, which was standing still, staring at him with a fierce gaze. It didn't expect that someone as small as Du Fei could match its brute strength.

  Du Fei was overjoyed at this moment, although he couldn't control the elements, but now being able to effectively utilize the powerful yuanqi within his body wasn't a bad thing either. Just as Du Fei was savoring the delight, a sudden flame burst forth from where the giant ape was, its momentum fierce and swift, catching the giant ape off guard. The giant ape was instantly enveloped in red flames, rolling around on the ground and wailing pitifully, losing its vitality in an instant.

  The sudden change made Du Fei's heart skip a beat, and he looked around frantically. All he saw was a fiery red lion slowly walking towards him. Du Fei couldn't help but narrow his eyes, staring fixedly at the approaching fiery red lion: "Inferno Red Lion!"

  "Little kid, last time you ran away with your tail between your legs. This time I wonder where you'll run to." Lianyuan Hongshi laughed.

  "This guy seems to know me, and he's even looking for me. No wonder he suddenly appeared during the battle with Hei Bao last time," Du Fei thought to himself, pondering for a moment before asking Huo Shi: "What do you mean by your words? Do you know me? We don't seem to have any grudges or past conflicts, and we've never even met before. Why are you here to kill me?"

  "Haha, kid, you don't know me but I know you, that's all that matters. Cut the chatter and bring it on!" As he spoke, Lie Yan Hong Shi was already poised to attack Du Fei.

  Du Fei's heart was startled and he said, "This is not good, this guy is going to make a move!" He quickly thought of something and said, "Wait, you have to give me a proper reason for killing me, otherwise I won't even know how I died." Du Fei was trying every means possible to delay the time, looking for an opening from Lie Yan Hong Shi, so he could use the Wordless Heavenly Book to catch him off guard.

  "Hmph, young one, stop playing tricks. I didn't say I'd kill you, just asked you to follow me for a walk." Lianyuan Hongshi spoke with disdain.

  Du Fei heard that Lie Yan Hong Shi didn't intend to kill him, so he let out half a breath and pretended to be calm, saying: "Oh, you won't kill me, but you still have to give me a reason for me to follow you, or are you afraid to say it?"

  "Listen up, kid. Don't waste my time with nonsense. You're not in a position to refuse, considering your close relationship with Long Huan. I'm asking you to go see my master, Long Man. Now do you understand?" Lie Yan Hong Shi said as he charged towards Du Fei...
