Chapter 3 - Chapter 3: Beginning to Practice

Ye Liangchen lay in bed, deducing the cause of his parents' deaths. Based on his understanding of the Douluo Continent plot, he hypothesized the following:

  His parents must have been hunting spirit beasts with Lan Xiaodie and her husband, acquiring spirit rings to advance to Titled Douluo. At the time, Tang Hao was likely being hunted by the Spirit Hall, forcing him to hide across the continent. He happened to encounter his parents and their group in the Star Dou Forest.

  To prevent his identity from being exposed, Tang Hao murdered them. His parents and Yun Hanxing perished in the battle, and Lan Xiaodie only escaped death thanks to the protection of the three.

  Few Titled Douluos on Douluo Continent are truly good. Their hands are stained with blood, and they disregard morality for their own gain.

  Tang Hao even schemed to obtain the spirit rings of his own spirit beast and wife, and even traversed the Slaughter City with such ruthlessness that he could easily have slaughtered a few unrelated individuals.

  Logically speaking, his parents possessed a spirit fusion technique, making them as powerful as Tang Dachui at the time. Although Tang Dachui was a Titled Douluo at the time, he was still injured, making it difficult for him to kill his parents.

  Could it be that a god intervened to protect Tang San? Or perhaps the Spacetime Administration orchestrated his parents' sacrifice to the heavens, giving him immense magical power?

  Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er's mothers changed their names to protect themselves, suggesting a more complex situation.

  However, these were merely Ye Liangchen's speculations; without proof, he couldn't be certain. To uncover the truth,

  he had to wait until he became stronger. Tang Dachui was now a Level 95 Titled Douluo, possessing a 100,000-year spirit ring and the secret ring-explosion technique. Few on the continent could defeat him. Until he could crush his opponent, he had to remain hidden and develop his power slowly.

  "Now that I've arrived in this world, and now at Tianshui Academy, to prevent these young ladies from being drawn into future wars, I have the final say in this world of Douluo Continent. I want ninety-nine of the entire world."

  Ye Liangchen set himself a small goal, but to achieve this dream, he needed strength.

  He then used his mind to retrieve the Hunyuan Jue and Foundation Establishment Pill from his gaming backpack and prepared to begin his training. Only by honing his body could he later absorb spirit rings of higher levels and defeat those geniuses.

  The early bird catches the worm; in the world of cultivation, the earlier one cultivates, the better. Tang San of the neighboring Shenghun Village has been practicing the various techniques from the Tang Sect's Xuantian Treasure Record since he could walk. As a fellow time traveler, Ye Liangchen naturally couldn't fall behind.

  In this cruel world where the strong reign supreme, only overwhelming strength can bring one to power and the lap of a beautiful woman.

  "Buzz..."

  Ye Liangchen's mind moved, and three ancient scriptures and a small jade bottle appeared in his hands. He opened the bottle cap and saw that it contained about 20 golden pills, exuding an intoxicating fragrance that was refreshing.

  "It's truly worthy of being a Foundation Establishment Pill!"

  He then looked at the impressive words on the bottle: "Swallow a golden pill and my fate will be in my own hands.

  " "Damn! Isn't that just bragging?"

  Ye Liangchen carefully read the small words below. At best, it meant to forge the strongest foundation and physique for a soul master.

  "For the Douluo World, this treasure is more than enough."

  Ye Liangchen took out a Foundation Establishment Pill and swallowed it. As soon as the pill entered his stomach, it immediately transformed into pure energy, nourishing every part of his body. He felt warm and comfortable, and his strength increased significantly.

  "Not bad. I need to find a way to give the Foundation Establishment Pills to Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er to improve their aptitude."

  "But how do I do it without revealing my true identity?"

  "I got it."

  Ye Liangchen remembered the candy bean snacks Aunt Lan usually bought for him. He took out two Foundation Establishment Pills and placed them in the candy bean snack box. He could just give them to them later.

  I'm so talented!

  "Wow! This Hunyuan Jue is actually divided into three volumes. It's impressive!"

  "As expected! Awesome techniques are divided into three parts: upper, middle, and lower."

  Ye Liangchen glanced at the text on the Hunyuan Jue and felt that he had a clue.

  The Hunyuan Jue is divided into three parts, each with nine realms. The third part leads to the ultimate Supreme Realm, marked (not accessible to ordinary people).

  "Hmm! So, only someone like me, a cheater, can reach the Supreme Realm! Interesting!"

  Ye Liangchen didn't know what the Supreme Realm was in this world, but he guessed it was higher than the realm of the Creator God. It was much more advanced than the Xuantian Gong of the third classmate next door.

  "Hunyuan is one of the five elements, which are both visible and invisible.

  It contains the mechanism of yin and yang in creation, and opens and closes, gathers and disperses to give birth to all things.

  Hunyuan Qi, with supernatural powers running through it, forms lines when gathered and becomes wind when dispersed. Hunyuan Qi, with supernatural powers running through it, forms lines when gathered and becomes wind

  when dispersed. Hunyuan Qi... has no

  shadow when dispersed. Hunyuan Qi... has no trace when dispersed.

  Upper Hunyuan, lower Hunyuan, outer Hunyuan, inner Hunyuan, middle Hunyuan, Hunyuan, Hunyuan, one Hunyuan.

  Clear and spiritual, with Bing and Ding under the heart, look at the seven stars on the left and the Southern Dipper on the right.

  Hunyuan is all-encompassing and has everything. It is so big that it has no outside and so small that it has no inside. Hunyuan is all things in the world, and the Hunyuan Qi is also the meridian energy of all organs in the human body."

  Ye Liangchen sat cross-legged on the ground and started to practice the first chapter according to the formulas and movements.

  "Sit cross-legged to calm your mind, relax and be naturally still.

  Lightly clench your lips and teeth, breathe slowly, clench your fists, gaze straight ahead, gather your divine light, and reach the heart of heaven.

  It will enter the Niwan and descend to the Qi point, constantly present, never exhausted.

  When the Dantian is full of Qi, the Du and Ren meridians run parallel, guarding against danger and following the meridians, circulating through the body, unimpeded and integrated.

  When the Qi returns to the Dantian, the practice is complete and the method is clear."

  Ye Liangchen followed the formula in the text, combining it with the movements and breathing methods in the diagram, and could clearly feel the flow of air through his meridians. It was quite magical.

  "The reason there were no cultivators on Blue Star in the past was mainly because the spiritual veins were severed by the ancients, leaving no spiritual energy from heaven and earth, and thus no cultivators."

  "The soul power of Douluo Continent is equivalent to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Using it to practice this technique should not be a problem."

  After practicing for an hour, Ye Liangchen saw a layer of gray impurities on his skin, with an unpleasant odor.

  "Oh my! This is removing impurities from the body. This technique can even cleanse the marrow and remove hair. It's a truly stunning beauty technique. In one word, awesome."

  Ye Liangchen was thrilled upon seeing this. He immediately stood up and rushed to the bathroom, stripped off his clothes, and took a refreshing shower to wash away the impurities.

  "It's truly a super technique! I've achieved such great results in my first practice. I feel refreshed and my physical strength has increased significantly."

  Ye Liangchen put the Hunyuan Jue and the Foundation Establishment Pill into his game backpack and took out the Five Elements Divine Fist, intending to observe and try his hand at practicing.

  "Huh! This isn't the Five Elements Fist, but it's like this?"

  The Five Elements Divine Fist is a martial art based on the forms of five animals: dragon, snake, tiger, leopard, and crane. The dragon form cultivates the spirit, the tiger form cultivates the bones, the leopard form cultivates the strength, the snake form cultivates the qi, and the crane form cultivates the essence. These five

  forms are practiced alternately, including the cultivation of mind and footwork. It is a top-level martial art that cultivates both internal and external cultivation. Each form of the Five Elements Fist has six major forms and thirty-six minor forms.

  Tiger Fist: Black Tiger Tests Claws, Tiger Palms Climbing the Wind, Hungry Tiger Seeking Sheep, Black Tiger Sitting in the Cave, Fierce Tiger Stretching, White Tiger Pushing the Mountain.

  Leopard Fist: Leopard Fixes the Golden Body, Tearing the Earth Basin, Leopard Crosses the Cliff, Leopard Plays with the Ball, Golden Leopard Facing the Sky, Golden Leopard Straight Punch.

  Snake Fist: Eight Diagrams Snake Form, White Snake Spits Out its Tongue, Poisonous Snake Crosses the Road, Two Snakes Part, White Snake Coiled Around a Rat, Poisonous Snake Guards the Cave.     Crane Fist: White Crane Spreads Its Wings, Wild Crane Looks for Food, Male Crane Imprints Its Feathers, Chang Nie Stands Alone, Crane Claws Imprint Sand, Ice Crane Guards Plum Blossoms.

  Dragon Fist: Double Dragons Drop Their Tails, Golden Dragon Offers Its Claws, White Dragon Looks Back, Dragon's Qi Crosses the River, Coiled

  Dragon Extends Its Claws, Wandering Dragon Steps Back. Ye Liangchen carefully memorized the movements in the boxing manual, combined with his mental skills, and began to practice.

  "Huff, huff..."

  "So tired."

  An hour later, Ye Liangchen collapsed on the ground, his whole body soaked. He was still young and couldn't keep up with the physical strength. In addition, it was his first time practicing, so his movements were not coherent.

  "Take your time! There's still time later."

  Ye Liangchen got up, took a rest, and then went into the shower room. After taking a nice warm bath, he prepared for a nap.

  "Most soul masters on the Douluo Continent acquire soul skills by hunting soul beasts. Those who can create their own soul skills are few and far between. Feng Xiaotian's original move, the 36-hit Wind Wolf, astonished everyone at the Soul Master Competition. However, this is also due to the limitations of this world. The older a soul master gets, the slower his soul power increases. Therefore, many soul masters focus on cultivating their soul power while they are young, lacking the time and energy to create their own."

  "With this set of divine fists, when I cultivate to perfection, I can use my soul power to transform into five forms: dragon, snake, tiger, leopard, and crane. My combat power will surely be comparable to those soul skills. Others will even think I created them myself!"

  Ye Liangchen imagined a future battle with an opponent, transforming his soul power into dragons, snakes, tigers, leopards, and cranes. What a spectacular scene that would be.

  "Tang San, are you ready? Hehehehe..." Ye Liangchen's mouth curled up.

  Exhausted from his first experience with cultivation, he quickly drifted off to sleep on the soft bed.

  Meanwhile, in the mountains behind Holy Soul Village, Notting City, Fasno Province, little Tang San, practicing the Xuantian Gong, felt his scalp tingle, as if someone were watching him.

  "Who?"

  Little Tang San immediately stopped practicing, holding a small stone. His gloomy eyes, glowing purple, he glanced around, but seeing no one, he resumed his practice.

  "Anyone who threatens me, no matter who they are, will be killed," Little Tang San thought fiercely.

  In the distant forest, a black-robed figure observed little Tang San's strange training methods and those glowing purple eyes, muttering to himself, "Is this really my son? Could he be the reincarnation of some old monster?"

  The black-robed figure was Tang Hao. Seeing his son's unusual lifestyle, especially his eyes, which looked so mature, Tang Hao felt as if he had eaten a fly.

  "Is this what a child born from a spirit beast looks like? Never mind. It's Ah Yin's flesh and blood, after all. I'll observe it for a while. If it's some old monster that takes over, don't blame me..."

  After a while, little Tang San finished his training, quickly stood up, and ran down the mountain.

  "This kid is no ordinary kid!"

  Tang Hao was shocked by little Tang San's swift steps. With a long sigh, he quietly left the woods and quickly returned to his hut to sleep in, all without little Tang San noticing.

  ...

  After this training session, Ye Liangchen slept soundly, unknowingly for hours. In his daze, he felt as if someone was pinching his face, and his nostrils were a little itchy.

  "Huff..."

  Ye Liangchen sneezed, waking him up immediately to find Shui Yue'er lying next to his face, tickling his nostrils with her hair.

  "Hahaha..."

  "Little Brother, get up and eat! It's almost dark."

  Shui Yue'er's soft, adorable voice echoed in Ye Liangchen's ears. The girl burst into laughter when she saw Ye Liangchen sneeze.

  "Sisters, you're dismissed."

  Ye Liangchen noticed it was already getting dark, and Shui Bing'er and her sister had already brought their meals, so he had no choice but to get up.

  "You slept until dark. Get up, wash your hands, and eat."

  Shui Bing'er placed three lunch boxes on the table in the hall outside, beckoning Ye Liangchen to get up and eat.

  "Thank you, sisters."

  Ye Liangchen quickly got up, washed up, and went to the hall to have dinner with the two beautiful girls.

  "When will Aunt Lan and the others be back?"

  Lan Xiaodie and her group had been away hunting spirit beasts for twenty days, and Ye Liangchen was worried. After all, they were his only remaining family in this world.

  "Don't worry, my mother and grandmother are here. They're both Soul Douluo cultivators, and my aunt is also a Soul Sage. We also have three Soul Emperor teachers. They'll be fine and back soon," Shui Bing'er comforted.

  "I'm four years old now. In two years, I'll be able to awaken my Martial Soul, and then I can start practicing too."

  "Xiaochen will definitely awaken a powerful Martial Soul and become a Titled Douluo."

  "Xiaochen, I'm telling you! Soul Master cultivation..."

  As they ate, Shui Bing'er and her sister explained some Soul Master training to Ye Liangchen. Ye Liangchen listened intently. Although he had learned about Soul Master training from novels in his previous life, he still needed to learn the details.

  He was only four years old now, so he had to do his best to play the role of a child.

  When he reached Soul Master status, he would pass on the Hunyuan Jue to his family and lie that it was a self-created technique, so he wouldn't be caught.

  After dinner, Ye Liangchen remembered the Foundation Establishment Pills. He grabbed the box of candy beans from the table next to him and pretended to eat them, preparing to let the two little girls inadvertently consume the Foundation Establishment Pills.

  "Sisters, ah... open your mouths and eat the candy beans."

  Ye Liangchen picked up the two Foundation Establishment Pills, mixed them with the candy beans, and offered them to Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er, asking them to eat.

  "Ahh..."

  "Mmmm! These candy beans are delicious."

  The Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er sisters chewed the candy beans, feeling a warm sensation throughout their bodies. They didn't doubt it, but simply felt deeply touched by their brother's kindness, which warmed their hearts.

  He let them consume the Foundation Establishment Pills just like that. "I'm so talented," Ye Liangchen thought to himself.

  With the blessing of the Foundation Establishment Pills, the two little girls' future cultivation journey would be much easier. Later, he would go and obtain the magical grass from the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire to help their spirits evolve. That kind of opportunity couldn't be left to Tang San.

  Two hours later, it was already dark. Ye Liangchen returned to his room, ready to practice the Five Elements Divine Fist again. There were still many moves and steps he hadn't yet mastered.

  He settled in his mother's room next to Shui Bing'er and her sister. After all, with the adults away, he was worried about leaving the little one alone.

  Cultivators, cultivating souls, cultivators are all superior to others.

  After observing the Five Elements Divine Fist and practicing for a while, three hours had already passed. It was almost dawn, and Ye Liangchen took a bath and then fell asleep.
