Chapter 25: Cloud-Pulling Fist, Pulling the Void Fist_1

Yang Chen hurriedly expressed his gratitude: "In that case, this junior will respectfully obey."

Soon, he entered the Wuji Pavilion and began choosing martial skills.

The Wuji Pavilion of the Yang family had numerous martial skills, but their quality was quite lacking in Yang Chen's view.

The martial skills were simply too underwhelming. Although there were many of them, none caught his discerning eye.

Of course, he did not expect to find any impressive martial skills in the Yang family's remote area.

"Shadowless Leg."

"Hundred Steps."

"These famous Yang family exclusive techniques are really too subpar," Yang Chen sighed.

It wasn't surprising that the Yang family's martial skills didn't meet his standards.

He searched around until he suddenly exclaimed, "Ah, Pulling the Void Fist!"

His gaze settled on a jade slip with the name "Pulling the Void Fist" engraved on it.

This Pulling the Void Fist was not anything special, but after studying it closely, he thought of a very suitable martial skill for refining the body, the "Cloud-Pulling Fist."

Yang Chen quickly laughed to himself: "So that's how it is. I didn't expect to find the simplified version of Cloud-Pulling Fist in such a remote place."

The Cloud-Pulling Fist was practiced by low-level body refining cultivators in the major sects of the flourishing lands where Yang Chen lived in his previous life. Here in the Vast Wilderness, it would cause a bloody storm. Compared to the martial skills in the Yang family's Wuji Pavilion, the Cloud-Pulling Fist was worlds apart.

And the Pulling the Void Fist, placed inside the Yang family's Wuji Pavilion, turned out to be a simplified version of the Cloud-Pulling Fist.

"Most likely, some disciple with extremely poor talent from a major sect was expelled and brought the simplified version of the Cloud-Pulling Fist to the Vast Wilderness, renaming it Pulling the Void Fist. Interesting, the Pulling the Void Fist originated from the Cloud-Pulling Fist. If I cultivate the Cloud-Pulling Fist, there will be an easy explanation," Yang Chen mumbled to himself.

What he was afraid of was that he would eventually display some powerful martial skills, which would inevitably attract envious eyes and make it difficult to explain.

But the Pulling the Void Fist, originating from the Cloud-Pulling Fist, followed the same course. It's just that Cloud-Pulling Fist was much more profound than Pulling the Void Fist.

As for the Cloud-Pulling Fist, it existed within his memory.

This convinced Yang Chen to make up his mind: "In that case, I'll start my martial arts training with the Cloud-Pulling Fist."

With this thought, Yang Chen left with the Pulling the Void Fist.

"Have you made your choice?" At this moment, Yang Siye's tone was much more amiable towards Yang Chen.

Yang Chen smiled slightly, bowed and said: "Fourth Master, this junior has chosen the Pulling the Void Fist."

"Oh? Pulling the Void Fist, although it is powerful, it is not mainstream. When perfected, it has too many limitations and flaws. Are you sure you want to practice this Pulling the Void Fist?" Elder Yang Si asked with doubts.

Yang Chen had already thought of an excuse: "Fourth Master, I have considered everything you mentioned. However, I feel that Pulling the Void Fist is very suitable for me, so I chose it. As for the future, I can choose other martial arts to make up for it."

"In that case, it's good that you know what's best for you. My earlier advice to you wasn't in vain." Yang Siye stroked his beard, showing no displeasure, and said: "You take this Pulling the Void Fist. If you can learn it completely within ten days, I won't charge you any spirit stones."

"If you haven't mastered it after ten days, you'll have to bring the Pulling the Void Fist manual back and pay ten spirit stones to continue reading. Remember the ten-day limit. Don't make this old man come looking for you."

Yang Chen knew the rules and smiled lightly, "Junior understands and will not let Fourth Master make a trip in person."

"As long as you know." Yang Siye waved his hand.

Yang Chen stood up and withdrew....

After that, Yang Chen returned home and began to ponder the memory of the Cloud-Pulling Fist in his mind.

"The Cloud-Pulling Fist combines both hardness and softness, divided into two types of force: hard and soft. It's a fist technique that integrates both, and it can be considered the best martial skill in the Body Refining Realm." Yang Chen muttered to himself.

For the next few days, he practiced the Cloud-Pulling Fist in the courtyard.

To completely master the Cloud-Pulling Fist, it would take at least one month.

However, mastering 20% of the Cloud-Pulling Fist was enough for him to report back to Wuji Pavilion. After all, the Pulling the Void Fist in Yang family's Wuji Pavilion was merely a simplified version of the superior Cloud-Pulling Fist. For Yang Chen, who had the Cloud-Pulling Fist, it was a piece of cake to reach the standard of Pulling the Void Fist.

At this moment, Yang Chen twisted his fists under the sun as sweat poured down his face.

Soon, the sound of footsteps rang out, and Gu Mingyue, holding a handkerchief in her small hand, began to wipe the sweat off resting Yang Chen's body. Her movements were careful and gentle, warming Yang Chen's heart.

"Young Master, you've been practicing for several hours. Take a break." Gu Mingyue said worriedly as she wiped the sweat off Yang Chen's brow.

Yang Chen grinned and looked at Gu Mingyue, who had changed into new clothes, feeling very satisfied. "Mingyue, you look so much more beautiful in these new clothes than before."

Although Yang Chen's words were meant as casual praise, Gu Mingyue saw them differently.

Her face flushed red upon hearing Yang Chen compliment her beauty.

At this sensitive period, it was natural for them to be somewhat self-conscious.

Theoretically, once Yang Chen passed the Coming of Age Ceremony, there would immediately be people from other clans proposing marriage.

In the Great Wilderness, people usually marry around the age of fourteen.

When the time came, Yang Chen would marry a wife, and she would become his concubine.

With just two months left before the Coming of Age Ceremony, Gu Mingyue's heart raced at the thought...

Quickly changing the subject, she lowered her head and asked softly, "Young Master, what about those spirit stones..."

Yang Chen interrupted her, "Enough about the spirit stones. Didn't I tell you before? If one piece of clothing isn't enough to spend them all, just buy a few more. Do I look like someone who lacks spirit stones? Oh right, where's my sister?"

For the past few days, Yang Chen hadn't seen Yang Caidie at all.

The meals were all prepared by Gu Mingyue.

Gu Mingyue opened her big eyes and said softly, "Young Master, Young Lady entered the Monster Beast Mountain when you were in seclusion."

"What is she doing in the Monster Beast Mountain again?" Yang Chen was puzzled.

He knew what kind of place Monster Beast Mountain was.

Entering the place without the cultivation level of the Fifth Layer of Body Refining Realm was akin to seeking death. His sister had mysterious and profound cultivation, which was why she dared to go there. However, even Spirit Martial Artists could not guarantee that nothing dangerous would happen in the lair of demonic beasts.

Gently sticking out her tongue, Gu Mingyue said with a smile, "Young Lady said that since you, Young Master, are a genius, she should catch some demonic beasts to help nourish your body. Also, with the Coming of Age Ceremony approaching, if you pass the assessment, Young Lady will hold a feast to celebrate. In fact, she has gone to various clans to find her good friends, ready to cheer for you during the Coming of Age Ceremony."

Yang Chen touched his nose, recalling Yang Caidie's doting love for him, and couldn't help but laugh bitterly.

His sister's expectations weren't very high for him, as merely passing the assessment deserved celebration.

His goal was far more than just passing the assessment of the Coming of Age Ceremony.
