The Nine Cauldrons

Book 7 Chapter 6 Practicing Fist Art Under the Sea! Picking Fruits On the Island!

“Grind the Iron Leaf Fruit into pieces and eat it?” Teng Qingshan pondered and said with a smile, “It might cause some marvelous effect, but I will not do it!” If one reached Teng Qingshan’s level, the effect of such fruits were useless.

“Little Jun, do you want to try?” Teng Qingshan asked jokingly.

“It was just a passing thought, so it might not work. If we catch a prisoner, we could try it on him!” Li Jun said as she thought.

After chatting for a while, both of them went into the cabin and began resting.

……

The days on the vast sea were actually very boring. One might feel shocked and awe because of the vastness of the great sea, but as time passed by, the monotony would begin to feel extremely terrible.

Teng Qingshan exerted all his effort on cultivation, attempting to merge the concept of the 《Earth Element Fist》 into the spear art, Transmutation Unity Law. Besides cultivating occasionally, Li Jun watched Teng Qingshan cultivate and also engaged in interesting and fun conversations with the thunderwhales.

They continued sailing.

Teng Qingshan and Li Jun also realized that as they continued heading northward, the number of islands inhabited by humans decreased. They could still find islands inhabited by people when they first departed from the Heavenly Rock Island, but since the seventh day of their voyage with the thunderwhales, they no longer saw any islands inhabited by humans.

This location was too far from the coast of the land of the Nine Prefectures.

On the seventh night of their voyage with the thunderwhales.

Over thirty thunderwhales were resting on the sea surface, so naturally the tungsten wood vessel stopped. At this moment, Teng Qingshan was around a hundred Zhang below the deep and gloomy sea surface. With only his long pants on, the half-naked Teng Qingshan was practicing his fist art under the sea.

“Bzzt!”

“Bzzt!”

Every fist that Teng Qingshan struck contained an extremely rapid spiralling force. It was as if a gigantic electric drill was piercing through the bottom of the sea.

“The Drilling Fist of the Five Element Arts of Xing Yi Martial Art.” Under the sea, Teng Qingshan had been practicing the same move repeatedly. He was standing in the Three Postures as he struck the Drilling Fists repeatedly. Teng Qingshan struck almost a thousand punches within the span of two hours.

Each punch contained the strength of over ten thousand Jin.

Because Teng Qingshan was cultivating the concept of the fist art, there was no need to use all his strength.

Teng Qingshan’s fists occasionally spiralled up and down, in and out. The fists also spiralled with still and balanced, or horizontally and vertically. With the spiralling motion as the shape and the rotation as the force, a terrifying spiralling drill was formed. If a Grandmaster of Xing Yi Martial Arts were here, he would widen his eyes in astonishment.

This fist art had already reached the pinnacle of the mysterious realm. However, Teng Qingshan wanted to surpass the Grandmaster Realm and understand the realm of Dao.

“Whew!” Teng Qingshan withdrew his fist and again positioned himself in the Three Postures.

“I do have an advantage!” Teng Qingshan smiled and said, “In the Five Element Boxing, the Horizontal Fist is the Earth Element Fist. Now, the achievement of my 《Earth Element Fist》 is the highest! As for the Drilling Fist, it is of the Water Element, which dissolves in earth and gives life to wood! The Horizontal Fist is the foundation of the Drilling Fist. If I make great progress in the Horizontal Fist, cultivating the Drilling Fist would be easier. Likewise, if I make great progress in the 《Earth Element Fist》, cultivating the 《Water Element Fist》 would be a lot easier.”

These days, Teng Qingshan would spend about four hours every night practicing his fist art under the sea.

In the process of the cultivation, Teng Qinghsan realized that the concept of the 《Earth Element Fist》helped improve his Drilling Fist. In his previous life, Martial Uncle Teng Bolei taught that Drilling Fist was of the Water Element and dissolves in earth. Indeed, what he had taught was true.
