Chapter 70 Vermillion Metal Tiger Roar
Book 8 Chapter 70 Vermillion Metal Tiger Roar
“Three Days! Does it have to be this soon?” The Dreamy Cloud Martial was astonished.
The Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal had no idea that Teng Qingshan had always been worried of his hometown, the Land of the Nine Prefectures. He didn’t know that Teng Qingshan was only able to return to the nine prefectures after he solved the dispute with the Tianfeng Martial immortal. “Older Brother Mu, does the Tianfeng Martial Immortal use any special technique?” Teng Qingshan asked. Knowing yourself and knowing your foes well would allow you to come unscathed through a hundred battles.
“Special technique. Right. Qingshan, let me remind you.” The Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal said solemnly, “If you control different types of the Power of the Heavens and earth, the utilization will be slightly troublesome.”
“Troublesome?” Teng Qingshan frowned.
“Yes.”
With a serious expression, the Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal said, “Yes, very troublesome! Different types of the Power of the Heavens and Earth are in conflict! The move that you performed last time is named ‘Vermillion Tiger Roar, right? This technique evidently contained the Fire Elemental Dao Since it contained the Fire Elemental Power, it was naturally quick and swift. However, if you were to use both the Fire Elemental Power and the Metal Elemental Power, the two types of Power of the Heavens and Earth would collide with each other, undermining the power greatly.
“Half of the Forty percent of the Power of the Heavens and Earth would be canceled out.”
Teng Qingshan couldn’t help but feel shocked when he heard this.
He was just a Novice Emptiness Realm Expert. Thus, it was true that he had no experience in the control of the two types of Power of the Heavens and Earth.
“You should try it out yourself.” The Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal smiled and said, “When you think you are confident enough to fight the Tianfeng Martial Immortal, then go. Actually—with your ability now, it is already impossible for the Tianfeng Martial Immortal to kill you, so do not worry.”
Teng Qingshan grinned and responded, “It’s the same principle. It’s impossible for me to kill him as well.”
When two Emptiness Realm Experts fight, the one that attained Emptiness Realm Culmination could naturally defeat and kill the Novice Emptiness Realm Expert with ease.
However—if the Novice Emptiness Realm Expert wanted to escape, the expert that attained Emptiness Realm Culmination might not be able to stop him.
“Previously, the Tianfeng Martial Immortal jeered in the sky above the Dreamy Cloud Ancient City and called me an ostrich. He said that he would be overseeing Tianfeng City and he will be waiting for me. He also said that I wouldn’t have the audacity to go!” Teng Qingshan grinned and said, “Even if I didn’t manage to kill the Tianfeng Martial Immortal this time, I would make him the laughingstock of this world.”
The Tianfeng Martial Immortal was too arrogant last time. If Teng Qingshan managed to defeat him honorably within several months, then the Tianfeng Martial Immortal will be embarrassed.
“However, I must ponder on how I should display a perfect performance of both the Metal Elemental Power and the Fire Elemental Power at the same time.”
Although a breakthrough was achieved again and being able to comprehend the Metal Elemental Dao was a happy thing, Teng Qingshan did not do anything. He only had a lunch banquet with the Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal, the Great Elder Mu Wang, and the others. After the lunch banquet, Teng Qingshan began pondering upon his own spear arts.
A strong gust of wind blew, rippling the surface of the lake.
Holding the Reincarnation Spear, Teng Qingshan stepped on the surface of the lake like a celestial being.
“I will just try it.” Immediately, he pulled with his right hand and grasped the spear with his left hand, revolving the spear shaft. Under Teng Qingshan’s control, both the Fire Elemental Power and the Metal Elemental Power revolved along with the shaft of the Reincarnation Spear, drilling through the heavens and earth like an electric drill. Immediately, the Reincarnation Spear transformed into a large vermillion and golden electrical drill.“Break!”
“Break!”
Teng Qingshan exerted a burst of his physical strength, and the Power of the Heavens and Earth and the Supreme Force whirled up from the shaft to the stops, condensing as it continued revolving. As Teng Qingshan exerted an explosive strength, the tip of the spear burst forth!
“Pew!” At the speartip, the air twisted, causing the space in the vicinity to shake. Rumble~~~ A series of explosion sounded as the several dozen Zhang wide lake exploded, splashing up endless amount of snowy white sprays.
“As expected.”
Teng Qingshan frowned and said to himself, “Older Brother Mu was right. When the Fire Elemental Power and the Metal Elemental Power combined, they will resist each other. Although I did control all, a great amount of energy was exhausted in the process of the conflict. Although I can control forty percent of the Power of the Heavens and Earth, I am only able to display thirty-five percent of it…In addition to my physical strength and the offensive strength increased through the technique Vermillion Tiger Roar, I am only able to display fifty-five percent of the Power of the Heavens and Earth.”
……
This difficulty trapped Teng Qingshan.
How can he make the two types of power into one without causing any conflict and unnecessary exhaustion? How can he make this technique perform the strongest power?! Day by day, Teng Qingshan pondered arduously.
“How should I perform this technique?” Teng Qingshan thought.
“Qingshan, eat. What are you doing?” At the table, Li Jun couldn’t help laughing. Teng Shou, Yang Dong, and Fu Yuping all snickered. Ever since Teng Qingshan comprehended the Metal Elemental Dao, he has been acting absent-minded. No one knew what he was thinking.
“Oh.” Teng Qingshan regained his senses and grinned. He immediately stopped thinking and focused on eating his lunch.
“Ah Dong, how is your practice of the Twelve Forms of Xing Yi?” Teng Qingshan asked.
“Senior Brother said that I am not doing well.” Yang Dong answered in a helpless tone.
Teng Qingshan looked over towards Teng Shou, and Teng Shou quickly answered, “Teacher, I told him that the Tiger Form was the most important of the twelve forms. If not, he won’t be able to practice the Godly Tiger Form Technique. However, Ah Dong has only learned to imitate the Tiger Form, but his moves fail to show the true concept of the technique. On the contrary, he loves to practice sword art.”
Yang Dong didn’t dare to respond.
“It requires talent to cultivate the Internal Martial Art.” Teng Qingshan smiled as he flicked a glance at Yang Dong. “Practice one more year. If your cultivation of the Internal Martial Art still made no progress, I will let you cultivate the Inner Strength.”
“Yes, teacher.” Yang Dong immediately felt very happy.
Teng Qingshan grinned and explained, “The Internal Martial Art has a high requirement in regards to the talent and aptitude. Amongst several people, probably only one can succeed in the cultivation of the inner strength. However, in the cultivation of the Internal Martial Art, perhaps only one out of a hundred people can succeed.” In this time of abundant Spiritual Qi, people possessed more aptitude than the people in Teng Qingshan’s previous world.
“It’s not weird if you weren’t able to succeed in the cultivation of the Internal Martial Art. Everyone has their own path to walk. I can’t force you two to walk the same path.” As Teng Qingshan said this, he was stunned by his own words.
“Everyone has their own path to walk? You can’t force them to walk the same route?”
Teng Qingshan’s eyes dimmed, and soon his eyes brightened.
“Haha…” Teng Qingshan burst out in laughter.
“Qingshan?” Li Jun was surprised.
“Teacher?” “Uncle?” Teng Shou, Yang Dong, and Fu Yuping were very astonished.
“You guys eat first.”
Teng Qingshan couldn’t bother with anything else. He took the Reincarnation Spear in his hands and leaped to the lake surface. The large lake surface was very suitable for Teng Qingshan to practice fist art. He didn’t need to worry about destroying buildings and constructions.
“I am a fool. I have been thinking in the wrong direction from the start!”
On the surface of the lake, Teng Qingshan was extremely excited as he exclaimed, “The Fire Elemental Power and the Metal Elemental Power are originally two different types of the Power of the Heavens and Earth. How is it possible to merge them while preventing them from resisting one another? Different people have different paths. I can’t force them to walk the same path. It’s the same principle!”
“These two types of the Power of the Heavens and Earth cannot be forced together.”
A million thoughts flashed past Teng Qingshan’s mind as he said, “I think I should use their mutual resisting characteristic and cleverly utilize the two types.”
……
At this level, once the direction of thought was correct, it would be effortless to find a method!
“Isn’t this much easier?”
Teng Qingshan felt exhilaration
Teng Qingshan shook the spear shaft again, performing the Vermillion Tiger Roar again. However, this time, the Metal Elemental Power and the Fire Elemental Power formed a spiraling structure. The two types of power were like two dragons playing with a bead as they spun around the shaft and simultaneously twisted around each other, yet not touching one another.

It continued spiraling and condensing.
As it spiraled to the tip, the Metal Elemental Power and the Fire Elemental Power finally met for the first time. These two types of Power of the Heavens and Earth originally resisted each other, At this moment, they had moved along the helix structure and had been condensed to the extreme point. Moreover, the two different types of Power of the Heavens and Earth merged, therefore, the effect was like an explosion. The two types of the Power of the Heavens and Earth exploded!
The powerful forces combined and infused the spear.
Pew!”
The incredible piercing strength burst forth, raising up endless ripples and sprays.
“Haha, it worked.” Teng Qingshan laughed. “This move is slightly tricky, but the helix structure can allow the two types of power to spiral and twist upward without touching one another.”
Teng Qingshan smiled.
With the addition of the two types of the Power of the Heavens and Earth, Teng Qingshan made improvement of the Vermillion Tiger Roar, creating a new move—Vermillion Metal Tiger Roar! The two types of Power of the Heavens and Earth wasn’t consumed, but instead became even more powerful during the last moment of the thrust!
“Tianfeng Martial Immortal…Didn’t you ask me to challenge you?” Teng Qingshan looked forward to the fight even more.
It was 12th of August, but late autumn had already arrived. In the coldest city of the Duanmu Continent, Tianfeng City, the temperature was expectedly extremely cold. There was even a heavy snowfall. The limitless snowflakes fell continually from the high altitude and the snow accumulated to the thighs!
Whew~~~Whew~~
The cold wind blew, and the snow fell continually.
The Rising Sun Restaurant in the Tianfeng City did not sit any guests on the second floor and third floor. The Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal, dressed in a black leather coat and carried a gigantic wolf-headed war saber, the Great Elder, Li Jun, Teng Shou, Yang Dong, and Mu Yunji gathered on the third floor.
“The heavens probably knows that there will be an apex battle today, which is why he made such a heavy snowfall happen.” The Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal remarked with a laugh.
“Yes. A combat between Martial Immortals hasn’t happened for an extremely long time in the Duanmu Continent.” Mu Wang said in surprise.
At this moment, Li Jun couldn’t help but ask, “Why hasn’t Qingshan appear?”
“We just departed yesterday. Qingshan has Blue Luan. He can come here at any time.” The Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal grinned. Today is the day which Teng Qingshan will challenge the Tianfeng Martial Immortal…Therefore, the Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal brought Li Jun and the others along. The Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal was confident that he would be able to keep the ones beside him safe from the Tianfeng Martial Immortal.
……
The Tianfeng Martial Immortal and the Steel Sword Martial Saint were the only two in the second floor of the Tianfeng Palace in Helian Residence.
“Eh, Old Man Mu, why did you come to Tianfeng City?” The Tianfeng Martial Immortal sat cross-legged in silence as he stared southeast, puzzled. He was looking in the direction of the Rising Sun Restaurant.
If another Emptiness Realm Expert appeared within a range of 34 Li, both Emptiness Realm Experts would be able to detect the each other’s presence.
“Eh?” The Tianfeng Martial Immortal looked up in the sky.
“What’s wrong? Teacher?” The Steel Sword Martial Saint asked in confusion.
The Tianfeng Martial Immortal’s eyes flashed as he said, “He is here.”
“He?” The Steel Sword Martial Saint froze briefly.
At this moment, a loud and energetic voice resonated in the sky and within the entire Tianfeng City. “Helian, didn’t you ask me, Teng Qingshan to come to the Tianfeng City to challenge you? I am here…Do you have the audacity to accept?”
“Do you have the courage to take the duel?” “Do you have the courage to accept the duel?” “Do you have the audacity to agree to this duel?” ….
The voice resonated within Tianfeng City.
