Since the five of them witnessed Lufan's strength during the Shenglong Talisman competition, they were greatly stimulated and deeply felt the gap between themselves and Lufan. Especially Duanmu Xue, who could not accept that someone she had to protect before had suddenly surpassed her in strength.
Thus, after returning to their respective families, they announced their seclusion to break through to the Fourth Rank Bone Refinement Realm.
Because of this, when Lufan attacked the city lord's mansion a couple of days ago, they did not appear, likely because they were in the critical moment of their breakthroughs.
Now that they have emerged from seclusion, it seems they have all successfully broken through to the Bone Refinement Realm Martial Cultivator.
Indeed, as Duanmu Xue and the others stepped into the room, Lufan could clearly sense their differences. Each Human Body was brimming with vitality, and their Vital Energy stimulated Lufan's nerves like a blazing furnace.
"Hmm?" Lufan was surprised to find that the five of them were much stronger than before their breakthroughs. Especially Duanmu Xue; her surging vitality was simply beyond what a Bone Refinement Realm Martial Cultivator should possess.
Among the Martial Cultivators Lufan had encountered, aside from Li Zheng, who had already reached Resonance of Muscles and Bones, even the two Sixth-Rank Martial Practitioners he fought two days ago could not compare to Duanmu Xue's current Vital Energy.
Moreover, Lufan could vaguely sense that Duanmu Xue now carried a special aura about her. Just standing there exuded an overwhelming presence.
How is this possible? Lufan's mouth slightly opened. Although he knew Duanmu Xue had extraordinary talent and remarkable power, this was a bit too exaggerated. It was just a breakthrough to a new realm, yet she seemed like a completely different person.
"How is it? Surprised?" Seeing Lufan's astonished expression, Duanmu Xue felt a bit proud. They had been shocked by him for so long; now it was finally his turn to be surprised.
"It is indeed impressive. What happened? How did you all achieve this?" Lufan nodded honestly.
"This is because we have been in the Third Rank Realm for several years, accumulating enough depth. Moreover, we practiced a rather unique technique. The four of them cultivated the technique taught by our master, while I finally succeeded in mastering a family Secret Technique after reaching the Fourth Rank. That's why I could break through so dramatically."
"What about this little girl?" Lufan pointed at Miko, who was grinning widely. "I remember she was only at Second Rank strength before; how did she suddenly break through to Bone Refinement Realm?"
Miko wrinkled her nose and said fiercely, "You’re the little girl! My sister and I practiced together with our techniques as a complete set. As long as one of us breaks through to a new realm, the other can follow suit at any time."
"Such an amazing technique!" Lufan exclaimed. Unfortunately, their master would never teach him any Secret Techniques just to train him; otherwise, he wouldn't have to worry so much.
"Alright, enough chit-chat. We just got out today and already heard that you've stirred up quite a storm in Qingyang City. I never realized you were such a troublemaker," Duanmu Xue said.
She used to think Lufan was a cautious person, but it turned out that when he caused trouble, he was far more formidable than her, the Violent Queen. Her greatest achievement was merely beating up all the students in Qingyang Academy.
Yet this guy had actually killed the city lord and even managed to take down a prince of the kingdom. It was simply outrageous. Now, everyone in Qingyang City was saying that the title 'Fierce Beasts' truly suited him.
"It was unexpected, unexpected," Lufan chuckled. The incident with the Fourth Prince was completely beyond his expectations; who would have thought a prince would suddenly appear in such a small place? Once the conflict broke out, it escalated into a life-and-death battle.
Everyone was speechless; sometimes this guy really did ask for a beating.
"So how do you plan to deal with the Silver Moon Kingdom's actions? They can't possibly give up on Qingyang City, right?"
"Speaking of that, I'm quite troubled at the moment," Lufan replied as he recounted the problems he was facing. However, he didn't mention the possibility of a Martial Arts Master coming, as that was merely speculation.
"Are you saying your biggest problem now is that you can't directly absorb Heaven and Earth Vital Energy from the outside? How could something so strange happen? Is this what you meant by world rejection?" Duanmu Xue frowned, feeling somewhat confused.
The others felt similarly; for them, absorbing Heaven and Earth Vital Energy was as easy as eating or drinking. They had never encountered any difficulties. Why did everything become so bizarre when it came to Lufan?
Once, Lufan had told them that due to his physical condition, he couldn't absorb Heaven and Earth Vital Energy. At that time, they thought it was a matter of his talent. After hearing his conversation with his teacher, they learned it was due to world rejection, yet even so, they still found it hard to understand.
"That's just how it is," Lufan shrugged. "I can sense the fluctuations of Heaven and Earth Vital Energy, but I just can't reach them. It's as if there's an invisible barrier surrounding my body that separates me from Heaven and Earth Vital Energy, preventing me from drawing it into my body."
"Could it be an issue with your cultivation technique?" Duanmu Xue suddenly thought of a possibility. She knew that Lufan's primary cultivation technique came from his hometown.
"I've considered that too and have tried practicing some techniques from the Library of the Academy, but the situation remains the same," Lufan said helplessly.
"So what should we do?"
"A couple of days ago, I obtained three Secret Techniques from Li Zheng which gave me some inspiration, but it's still not enough. All three Secret Techniques are Killing Techniques; if I could get my hands on a Nurturing Technique, maybe I could gain some insights from it."
“Nurturing Technique? That's hard to find. Although I practice a Nurturing Technique, my family has strict orders against sharing it!” Duanmu Xue said with difficulty.
“I know that, of course,” Lufan nodded, understanding that Duanmu Xue was speaking the truth. The Nurturing Technique is incredibly rare; in fact, from a certain perspective, among all the Secret Techniques, the Nurturing Technique is the most precious. After all, as a method that can fully develop the potential of the Human Body, it enhances the foundational strength of a Martial Cultivator.
If we compare it to martial arts, the Nurturing Technique is like a valuable Inner Strength Cultivation Method, akin to Yi Jin Jing, while the Killing Technique resembles martial arts moves, such as Great Strength Diamond Palm. It is obvious which is more valuable between Great Strength Diamond Palm and Yi Jin Jing.
Such a precious Secret Technique, being a family heirloom, is certainly not allowed to be passed on.
“However…” Duanmu Xue suddenly blinked and said mischievously, “Although I can't actively teach you, I can fight you. Aren't you good at learning other people's Martial Arts Techniques in battle?”
During the competition for the Shenglong Talisman, Duanmu Xue had witnessed how strong Lufan's learning ability was; in just a short time, he could almost perfectly replicate others' Martial Arts Techniques.
“That sounds great!” Lufan's eyes lit up. In fact, his desire to obtain a Nurturing Technique wasn't necessarily to learn it but rather to find a solution to his own problems. After all, his own Inner Strength Cultivation Method was already quite formidable.
This suggestion from Duanmu Xue not only allowed him to bypass family rules but also enabled him to better perceive the changes in her strength during their battle. The operation of his Mind Technique, compared to learning a new Secret Technique, might be simpler and more effective this way.
As the saying goes, in martial arts, there’s nothing that cannot be resolved through a fight.
“So do you agree? Great! Let's go outside and fight!” Duanmu Xue flashed and was already outside the courtyard.
Then Lufan followed her out, and everyone inside the house excitedly trailed behind. (To be continued.)
