Chapter 1373: Chapter 1373: Drill

"Can the ordinary spear withstand it, can the cave withstand it?" Mei Simiao listened to their discussion and looked around the cave walls, unable to resist expressing concern.

"How could we not consider this? When Pei Yan truly starts to use his moves, the power he releases will trigger the setup in the cave, bringing him into another independent space. There, it can withstand the power released by his entire set of Cultivation Techniques and record it. If he can fully perform the Thunder Observation Eight Techniques, his figure will automatically be reflected on the cave walls through the space record, allowing future generations to admire and learn," Situ Maocai explained, adding silently in his heart that it depends on whether he can do it.

"Look quickly! He moved!" Liu Xuanji, focused on the scene, shouted lowly, attracting everyone’s attention. They saw Pei Yan gently shake his wrist, and with this action, the surrounding space distorted, and the Array in the cave pulled him into an alternate space.

Seeing this situation, naturally, no one stood idly by; they all leaped in pursuit, entering the alternate space. When they steadied themselves, they found Pei Yan standing on a vast expanse, with the sky continuously flashing with lightning. In the intermittent glow of thunder, Pei Yan slowly raised the spear in his hand and stepped forward to thrust it slowly.

Although they knew Pei Yan’s current realm was only Tier Eight Asura Realm, everyone felt a god-like aura on him at the moment. They saw Pei Yan step forward, slowly performing one move after another with his spear.

Over several days, everyone present had taken turns exploring Thunder Observation Cave to observe Pei Yan’s state. Though they intentionally avoided looking at the dancing shadows on the wall to prevent being drawn into the moves, from Murong Longxiang’s descriptions and glimpses, everyone had a rough understanding of the Cultivation Technique. This spear technique seemed to focus on grandiose actions, winning with momentum and speed. Yet, judging by Pei Yan’s current demeanor, he was as leisurely as an old man practicing Tai Chi in the park. This speed was such that even ordinary martial artists or civilians could easily evade.

"Is this your Infinite Thunder Sect’s Cultivation Technique?" asked Shifu, unable to contain curiosity and asked.

"Uh! The routine isn’t wrong, but it’s completely devoid of the previous sharpness. Could it be that Pei Yan hasn’t grasped the essence of this technique? That shouldn’t be! Considering his talent and personal prowess, even if not mastering all twenty-four forms of the Thunder Observation Eight Techniques, he should have no problem with the first couple of forms!" Situ Maocai frowned with the same puzzled look while watching Pei Yan in the field.

"And his Thunder Breathing Technique has issues too; it doesn’t match the frequency of our sect’s Cultivation Technique." he added.

"Let’s see what’s amiss. Let me try it." Feng Tianhe, unable to contain his curiosity, stepped out of the crowd. Without any intention to fight with Pei Yan, he merged his aura within Pei Yan’s attack range, simulating the scenario of confronting the attacks, curious to see what was so ingenious about them.

Moments after Pei Yan completed the first method’s four moves, Feng Tianhe, looking dazed with a bit of cold sweat on his forehead and slightly trembling, Murong Longxiang seemed to sense something. He stepped forward, pressing Feng Tianhe’s shoulder to pull him away from the move confrontation, bringing him back into the crowd.

"Hmm, ugh!" Feng Tianhe, pulled back into the crowd, felt as if granted amnesty. He gratefully glanced at Murong Longxiang, then groaned softly, with a trickle of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.

This truly shocked everyone present. If he disregarded his own Mechanical Puppet and his hidden various strange attack methods, judging by his source qi and personal strength alone, Feng Tianhe ranked towards the back among the top-tier Heavenly Dao experts. Yet, even so, he was far beyond what ordinary Heavenly Dao Strong Persons could reach as a top expert. Just the aura’s pull alone was enough to injure and make him vomit blood; what exactly was this move?

Noticing everyone’s astonishment, Feng Tianhe adjusted his injuries between breaths, then looked at others with a wry smile, saying, "It’s nothing serious! Although my injury was caused by Pei Yan, the main reason is that I hurt myself."

"Hurt yourself?" Liu Xuanji seemed to have caught onto something, murmuring.

"That’s right! Only by placing yourself in the position of a confrontation with Pei Yan can you truly understand his current state. Now I understand why he moves so slowly," Feng Tianhe said, taking a silk handkerchief from his sleeve, wiping his lips’ blood, continued, "Our earlier guesses were partially correct. He hasn’t fully grasped the moves; it’s not that he can’t learn them, but that he has mingled some other elements within them. I can’t yet detect what they are because I merely clashed with him through aura. However, I can feel if he completely sorts out and masters the connections within, then unleashes this move fully, its power would indeed become a unique and timeless marvel."

Returning the handkerchief to his sleeve, Feng Tianhe continued, "As for how I got injured, it was due to the imposing aura! We already knew Pei Yan had an incredibly strong control over source qi. I’m not sure what he’s been through, but since the Sword Discussion Conference, his ability has significantly enhanced. He not only manipulates source qi but controls the surrounding air field, even creating an atmosphere to engage the opponent’s consciousness. Observing Thunder Observation Eight Techniques for over a month, that predecessor of Infinite Thunder Sect’s unrivaled aura during the moves has clearly benefited Pei Yan remarkably, making his ability grow in depth. When my aura entered the confrontation status with him, I was immediately influenced by the atmosphere released between his moves, a sequence of oppressions felt like Mount Tai pressing down, compelling me to mobilize source qi against it. However, within the atmosphere, a faint thunderous bomb seemed to echo in your ear, igniting your Qi Blood, propelling the urge to fight him to the death. Under the squeeze between these two imposing auras, I found it hard to adapt until Brother Murong pulled me out, causing my inner breath to churn, resulting in a slight injury."

Knowing the ins and outs, Mei Simiao naturally understood from these words the change brought by Pei Yan’s combination of three abilities. Thinking about Pei Yan’s studies this time, gaining substantially, enhancing his power, hopeful of advancements, he couldn’t help feeling a rush of excitement.

"So what it means is, irrespective of how fast you move, once you become the target of his attacks, you’ll be enveloped by his aura, forced to engage in battle. This is merely part of what he comprehended from the moves," Liu Xuanji, after listening to Feng Tianhe, pondered a moment and suddenly recalled that day when he was struck by Jue Liunian, and Pei Yan consoled him mentioning he had a speculation about Liu Family’s stack strength he wanted to experiment. With this thought, Liu Xuanji had a sudden realization, swiftly raising his head to look at Pei Yan in the field.
