Xiao Ran had picked up the mental cultivation method of resonance, but it was only at the mortal level.
He dared not show off in front of his master, whose cultivation base was profound but unknown, so he had only used 10% of the force of resonance to press the Dazhui Point that was one inch below his master’s neck.
Lingzhou Yue had called Xiao Ran over in anticipation of enjoying free labor. She was posed lazily with a slow divine sense, occasionally sipping her wine.
Finally, a tiny tremor that felt like electrocution entered her spine through Xiao Ran’s fingertips.
She paid it no mind initially but she soon realized that the tiny tremor was resonating with each of her vertebrae and the force was slowly multiplying toward her tailbone…
A cold gust of wind blew, rattling the pine branches and sweeping Lingzhou Yue’s hair, but she remained still. Deep inside, however, she was astonished.
It was the Art of Resonance! This kid had learned the Art of Resonance in a night! He was obviously at a high level too, as he could push vibration through her vertebrae!
Could being talentless in all Five Elements actually be the best physique to learn the Art of Resonance? Or had his state of mind been trained to a height that even she could not reach through the grueling drilling of the construction skill? How could he possess such strength when he was a mere mortal?
Interesting.
Lingzhou Yue curled the corners of her lips and sipped her wine. It had never occurred to her that her weak disciple would be quite bold.
He had dared to use a little strength on her!
Not that it was a bad thing. She could relax and enjoy her disciple’s force of resonance.
The rustling pine branches and leaves quieted down as the wind turned into a soft breeze.
Xiao Ran happily received one DP.
“Congratulations, you’ve earned 1 Devotion Point!”
Xiao Ran was actually quite nervous about using this cultivation method on his master, but since he had received one DP, it had to mean that his master was enjoying it.
In addition to the sudden pliability of her body, which made it seem like she was boneless, there was a sense of unmistakable and invincible resilience in her fair suppleness.
Xiao Ran thought that he was overthinking.
This was a monster whose ability was several times higher than his!
He unconsciously pushed harder.
The force of his fingertips went from his master’s vertebrae to her ribs and limbs, pulsing through her muscles and meridians.
“Congratulations, you’ve earned 2 Devotion Points!”
Her dark brows creased slightly as Lingzhou Yue sat up straighter with a jolt. Her joints cracked as she felt comfortably loose.
‘Oh? You wanna try using some resistance on me?’
‘Game on! Let me see what you’re worth!’
Xiao Ran reaped three DP off in a very short time, so his confidence was boosted when he saw his master welcoming his actions with feigned reluctance.
Upon spotting Lingzhou Yue’s core resonating point, Xiao Ran maneuvered the strongest force of resonance he could and pressed a finger of his right hand into her Dazhui Point.
The parallel resonance was on full power. The strength did not look distinct in the beginning and it even felt like it was softer than Xiao Ran’s previous pressure. It slowly completed the first resonance in Lingzhou Yue’s spine.
Crack!
The force quaked and a soft ripple that grew into a raging tide as it charged along Lingzhou Yue’s limbs and bones completed its second resonance in her muscles and meridians.
Bang!
The force rose abruptly like a tidal wave, barging all the way into her bloodline and spiritual vein and producing a third resonance.
Boom!
Lingzhou Yue was alarmed.
Before she could react, the rampaging force gushed down following her spiritual vein into the outer wall of her dantian like a moth soaring for the sun.
Xiao Ran was only a mortal.
No matter how much his strength was amplified or went wild, there was no way he could hurt Lingzhou Yue.
However, this little moth that aimed for the sun resonated again with Lingzhou Yue’s dantian wall!
It was extremely soft but utterly precise, like a spark that could burn a meadow.
A sliver of insignificant force resonated within the dantian wall, producing a slight vibration and creating a ripple in the rich reservoir of Qi…
Impressive!
Lingzhou Yue’s clear eyes froze in surprise! She had never felt something like this before, so her spiritual energy spread instinctively.
A spiritual pressure that felt as endless as an abyss and as vast as an ocean erupted.
Boom!
Xiao Ran felt his hands being flung away by a powerful force, and his sight turned white. In a flash, his entire self was cast away by the erupting spiritual energy. Like a bullet shot, he catapulted into the misty sea of clouds.
Whoops! He had opened a can of worms!
Gritting his teeth to endure the wild acceleration, Xiao Ran calmed himself down. If his force of resonance was not holding down the spiritual energy, he thought that he would probably have been dead by now after getting penetrated by it.
The billowing wind was laced with a cool mist as it slapped his face rapidly.
Xiao Ran tried his best to open his eyes.
Goodness! He was more than half a kilometer away from the Sword-Wielding Mountain now.
He was still flying and he showed no sign of slowing down. Even the arch of his projectile was nearly a straight line… This meant that Xiao Ran had spread the penetrating force flat by resonating the piercing spiritual energy with his physical body the moment his master’s spiritual energy had exploded.
That was how he had flown away with equal pressure on his body. Otherwise, he would have died and his body would not have remained intact. Even if his master saved him from death, he would get severely injured.
Nonetheless, it was all worth it!
“Congratulations, you’ve earned 10 Devotion Points!”
Ah, the terrifying Heaven-Tier mental cultivation method!
Within a handful of minutes, Xiao Ran had reaped 13 DP off his master just by using the force of resonance!
His total DP was now 37!
For now, he was not worried in the slightest that he would fall to his demise while hurtling through the air.
Even if his master did not come to save him, he could launch palm strike after palm strike by using the force of resonance to land perfectly. Worst-case scenario, he would land hard in the jungle and get injured. He could then revive himself on the spot by buying a healing kit with his DP.
It was not a big problem.
Now that he had picked up the Art of Resonance, Xiao Ran’s comprehension of everything had far exceeded a mortal’s. He could sufficiently predict danger and was adequately aware of his own safety.
Upon noticing that he was still flying without slowing down, Xiao Ran threw a palm strike in the direction he was flying. Using the opposing force that would propel him backward, he stopped his flight.
Then, a standard freefall followed.
When his speed dropped to about 60 miles per hour, he struck a palm downward and decelerated instantly. Then, he freefell again and repeated this action.
At the same time, the wind was billowing against the pine tree cliff on the Sword-Wielding Mountain.
Lingzhou Yue stood with her arms behind her back while her brows were furrowed. She was also flushing.
Her stance was sharp like a sword, as her sense of heroism was accentuated by the wind blowing against her. However, there was a rare allure to it that was ravishing.
She had not expected a mortal’s strength to seep into her sealed sea of Qi!
If one disregarded the fact that Xiao Ran was a mortal, this was the first time someone had even channeled their energy into her sea of Qi!
Her instinct was to compress her dantian and use rampant energy, thus exploding in tidal spiritual energy. That would be enough to kill Xiao Ran.
She turned around frantically to save him, only to realize that he had not been killed by the penetrating spiritual energy but had instead been flung away…
In addition, he was decelerating and landing in distinct stages by using the resonance-aided palm strikes. His movements were unrestrained and practiced, performed smoothly, and seemed more confident than a cultivator’s moves.
After living for so long, Lingzhou Yue had seen it all. However, she really had not seen anything like this before!
Despite her shock, she was relieved.
In a flash, she appeared right below the place where Xiao Ran was falling.
With her arms waiting, she caught Xiao Ran in her embrace with practiced ease like a bride.
Xiao Ran felt like he had fallen into dependable and resilient, yet soft and warm arms. Upon focusing, he discovered that it was his master.
Being carried like a bride by a woman was something he had never imagined. Since he was unable to fight it, he might as well relish his master’s love.
It was just that he was confused. As a woman…
“Why do you seem to have practiced carrying people like brides, Master?”
Lingzhou Yue kept a straight face.
“I should be asking you this. How did you practice the Art of Resonance so much in one night?”
The two of them looked at each other without speaking.
Somehow, the sky, where clouds drifted in layers, had cracked.
