Chapter 67: Breaking The Three Barriers
Three days later, Li Ye received a message from Pan Zhengyang, rode his electric scooter to the large courtyard house.
He didn’t participate in the experience, there was no one in the martial arts track class, going to school was useless, and the canteen wasn’t even serving food, so he just checked information as usual, looking at ancient texts and papers.
He did receive photos from several good friends.
There were experience ones too, but they seemed to include some fun.
Deng Hao and Jia Dong fished up a big fish half a person’s height with canine teeth in a verdant large pool.
Yao Lèdān smugly held a lynx-like demonic creature for a selfie.
Yang Jie greeted him every day to show respect.
Surprisingly, it was Fei Zhishang, this chuunibyou somehow got his contact info, and his first words were ‘Martial Arts World, the strong are respected’, then stuff like ‘thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river’ and other nonsense, asking Li Ye for thirty years of uninterrupted challenge opportunities to get stronger.
Li Ye had no ill feelings toward this guy, he was a bit dumb, but had no bad intentions; when Guo Chumíng was about to sabotage his circulate energy, it was he who stopped it first.
Hmm. Later he’d beat Xiang Feipeng again, lest this fool sink too deep.
At the large courtyard house gate, Li Ye first smelled a strange scent, quite odd, but also quite pleasant.
Pushing open the gate, he saw Pan Zhengyang already waiting in the courtyard.
“You’re here.”
He pointed at the large cauldron below which flames were continuously burning, the one Li Ye had used before, and said: “Eat it directly.”
Then he pointed at the neatly cut mashed meat piled on a plate in the corner.
“This time we’re not fussing over taste. After eating, add water and boil, one pound at a time, boil for twenty-four hours each time. Don’t worry about the fire, I’ll have someone add fuel regularly.”
“This stuff is potent, but since you think the nutritional supplement has a big effect, this is worth a try. No rush, stop if you can’t eat it, eat slowly, try it first.”
This long?
What stuff?
Li Ye was stunned, but walked up and looked into the large cauldron.
Clearly blazing under the cauldron, but the water was like a pool of solidified liquid, overall frosty white, just like congealed fat.
He took out the five flavors chopsticks, inserted the chopsticks in it, then gripped the cauldron rim with one hand, spread his legs in a horse stance, tilting the cauldron rim to his mouth.
Just one mouthful, and Li Ye’s eyes widened, looking at Pan Zhengyang in shock and suspicion.
“Hahaha, overbearing, right? Very icy, isn’t it. This stuff took a lot of effort to get, you better savor it, best to break through Nine Dragon Gate in one go, then straight to the three gates!”
Pan Zhengyang laughed heartily: “One month, you should finish it. That’s it, eat slowly and train slowly, I have things to do.”
Came fast, left fast; Pan Zhengyang pushed open the gate, mounted his big motorcycle, and sped off.
“Not…”
Seeing the dust settle, Li Ye muttered: “You gave me a big surprise, Director Pan.”
Indeed very icy; upon entering the mouth, it felt bone-chillingly cold, clearly like congealed fat yet a liquid, and once in the stomach, it seemed to rush straight to the limbs and bones, freezing the person.
Through the Food Qi Method, he identified the source of this stuff.
Frost Ghost Demon Dragon.
Director Pan got him dragon meat!
And with just one mouthful, his qi and blood surged explosively.
As for the iciness…
The Food Qi Method didn’t care about that; once in his belly, only Sun Wukong could influence him!
Li Ye lifted the cauldron and drank, downing the entire cauldron of white fatty meat broth clean; under the five flavors chopsticks, this pot of broth was like fresh lamb broth, extremely delicious.
[Qi and Blood: 11280]
[Twelve Golden Palace Dragon Tiger Gate: 4]
Digitized, just this one pot raised Li Ye’s qi and blood by a hundred points!
A hundred points!
Six or seven times the nutritional supplement!
“Holy crap!”
He glanced at the small mountain of mashed meat piled in the corner, about two or three hundred pounds.
This wave was enough for him to reach Nine Dragon Gate.
Li Ye walked over, picked up a piece of mashed meat; it was about two fingers wide, cut very small, but had a tough texture; when he pinched it, it still held its shape.
“Tough and chewy, probably much harder to chew than ironclad pig, no wonder it needs boiling; fire counters it, right.”
But boiling for twenty-four hours? Li Ye couldn’t wait that long, didn’t need to.
“This is pre-cut, right?”
Looking at the cut faces on the meat chunks, Li Ye smiled.
Dragon meat, impossible to debut like this; raw sashimi is also a cooking method, fitting the authority.
Li Ye used the Five Flavors Chopsticks to pick up that piece of meat, shoved it into his mouth without chewing—he couldn’t chew it anyway—and swallowed it down his throat in one gulp.
Effective!
It entered the stomach and provided Qi and Blood, which was refined and digested with Authority in one go!
“Then I’ll help myself!”
He held the Plate up with one hand, swept the Five Flavors Chopsticks across the meat chunks on top, opened his mouth wide, and poured them straight in.
Like a whale sucking in water, like a stone falling into an abyss, the small mountain of mashed meat visibly disappeared from his mouth.
Thirteen thousand, sixteen thousand, twenty thousand, twenty-one thousand, twenty-five thousand, twenty-nine thousand.
Until the last piece was swept into Li Ye’s mouth, he tossed the Plate aside, and a sharp glint burst from his eyes.
[Qi and Blood: 36000]
[Twelve Golden Palace Dragon Tiger Gate: 4]
Enough!
Time to train!
Qi and Blood flowed through the spine, expanding to the limbs, rushing straight to the crown of the head, with faint Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound, Qi manifesting as dragon whiskers, gradually expanding, gradually lengthening.
Circulated Energy twelve times, storing one Gate, the deeper the Gate, the stronger the practice.
Stood firm in the daytime until dusk arrived.
Hiss!!
Hum!!
In the Courtyard, a spray of gas sounded first, two white dragon whiskers emerged from Li Ye’s nose, not scattering but whipping the ground, cracking it with two fissures.
The Thunder Sound in his body boomed loudly, even making the nearby Large Cauldron tremble faintly.
The steaming Qi and Blood leaped at a frequency of nine times at this moment, steadily rising, no longer maintaining frequency but wave after wave, the frequency within like fish in the waves, constantly flipping upward.
“Fish Leap Dragon Gate!”
Li Ye’s whole body shook, his Fist clenched tight, he shouted with Qi, booming the Courtyard wall in front of him with cracks, and the gate was blasted open by this Qi Force.
Dragon Gate Realm, also known as Fish Leap.
Leaped over, that was transforming into a dragon and breaking through!
The wave-like Qi and Blood calmed down, stabilizing on the body, meridians, and acupoints.
Representing that he was as firm as Vajra, long transforming into Qi Meridians, power breaking Army Breaking Pass!
At this moment, Li Ye understood why leaping the Dragon Gate meant one could truly be called a Martial Artist.
Steaming Qi and Blood was unstable Qi and Blood; only by rushing open the Mysterious Pass could it settle, thereby activating within the Martial Artist’s body, turning into true Martial Arts power.
At this moment, Li Ye’s heart inexplicably settled, no longer having that flowing sensation from before when Qi and Blood was steaming.
From water to mountain, Mysterious Pass unmoving.
No matter how severe the injury, it would not scatter his Qi and Blood, turning him into a cripple.
Vajra Pass representing physique, fixed!
Qi Meridian Pass representing breath, fixed!
Army Breaking Pass representing power, fixed!
Mysterious Pass fixed, leaping to Second Realm!
Li Ye broke through three passes in one go!
