Chapter 336: Yao And Demon (II)
Two days later, two figures walked out from the Wuji Sect and headed toward the outskirts of Wuling City.
"Senior Sister, may I ask you a question?" Lin Zheyu asked.
Beside him was a woman with short hair, brimming with masculine vigor, her body packed with knotted muscles, yet her face looked unexpectedly cute. When Lin Zheyu first saw her, he could not help but take a few extra glances. She was the very image of a Vajra Barbie[1].
"Mm, go ahead and ask," Gu Ye said softly.
Although she was more burly than many men, her voice was as sweet as her face, creating a striking sense of contrast. Gu Ye was a disciple of Lin Zheyu's martial aunt, Wu Xuan, and also a true disciple of the Wuji Sect. Lin Zheyu had heard Huang Youwei mention that Senior Sister Gu Ye had been raised like a boy since childhood, and that her parents had deliberately given her a male name. Also, apparently, her personality was tougher than that of many men and when it came to fighting, she was comparable to Wildman Luo.
"Senior Sister, it is said that martial artists who cultivate to the Dragon Transformation can release their blood qi outward, and true strength can also be released. Can blood qi be used in the same way as true strength?" Lin Zheyu asked.
After returning to the Wuji Sect, he studied the matter for a long time but could not find an answer. He wanted to ask Senior Sister Wenzi, Senior Brother Chen Ding, or Senior Brother Hai Hong, but none of them were around. His master and the others had also gone out, leaving him with no one to consult.
"Of course not. Blood qi and true strength are two completely different kinds of energy. The greatest function of blood qi energy is its ability to act as energy that drives the physique, allowing the release of powerful attack strength. True strength, however, is entirely different. True strength is a brand new form of energy that emerges after essence, qi, and spirit merge with true intent, and it is far more powerful than blood qi.
"Martial artists can directly unleash true strength energy against their enemies. When attached to the surface of the body, it can act as a protective barrier. When attached to weapons, it can increase their power. True strength has endless applications, while blood qi only works on the fleshly body," Gu Ye said softly.
She was not very familiar with Lin Zheyu, but she had heard of his deeds. This youngster had been taken a liking to by Elder Yang at this year's martial cultivation exchange and was exceptionally recruited into the Wuji Sect as Sect Master Huang Baizhong's disciple. Not long after entering the sect, he climbed onto the Hidden Dragon List and was now an expert ranked seventy-eighth.
If Lin Zheyu continued to challenge martial artists ranked above him, he might even enter the top sixty. Gu Ye understood very well the importance of resources in martial cultivation, so she was extremely curious about how Lin Zheyu had cultivated such formidable strength. She had joined the Wuji Sect since childhood, cultivated with full focus, and possessed ample resources, yet she had never managed to make it onto the Hidden Dragon List.
"So that is how it is." Lin Zheyu nodded, confirming his conjecture through Senior Sister Gu Ye.
