Chapter 67 Blackwater Forbidden Zone
The Seven Fiend Thunder Steps consist of three moves, all of which are trained to achieve the ultimate speed!
If combined with his Spirit Ape Demon-Subduing Blade, he could make up for his lack of speed and gain a huge boost in combat power!
Su Yu felt a slight sense of anticipation and began to cultivate according to the technique.
"The core is the circulation of Qi and blood... and the exertion of force..."
Soon, after completing a full cycle of Qi and blood circulation and the moves, familiar ink-wash characters appeared before his eyes.
[Seven Fiends Thunderclap Steps into the Gate]
[Martial Arts]: Seven Fiends Thunderclap Step (Beginner 1/1000)
A profound realization immediately flooded his mind, and he instantly grasped many of the techniques for circulating qi and blood, and generating power through techniques such as the Thunderclap Step.
"First move, Thunderous Collapse Step!"
Su Yu held his breath and concentrated, channeling his Qi and blood from his dantian and forcefully pouring it into the Yongquan acupoints on the soles of his feet. The tendons in his feet instantly tightened, like a fully drawn bow.
"Bang!"
A dull thud came from the bluestone slab underfoot, like a thunderclap from a clear sky.
Su Yu's figure blurred instantly, leaving a trail of afterimages. When he reappeared, he was already five or six zhang away!
"Wow, that's fast!"
Su Yu was overjoyed!
This speed is more than 50% faster than before! Moreover, the momentum is extremely domineering, and when combined with the Demon-Subduing Blade Technique, its power is even greater!
"Second move, Thunderclap and Flash!"
Su Yu's body charged forward again, his ankle tendons twisting as he darted and weaved, his long sword unleashing a series of powerful sword techniques.
"Third move, Seven Fiends Thunderclap!"
One step, two steps... seven steps!
With each step he took, the thud under his feet grew heavier, and his aura rose a notch.
When the seventh step landed, it was like a raging tide, his blood and qi had reached their peak, and his speed had reached its limit. The long sword in his hand carried the force of ten thousand pounds and slashed down with a bang!
"boom!"
The hard bluestone ground cracked instantly, with gravel flying everywhere and dust billowing, leaving a knife mark about an inch deep.
"Impressive footwork!"
One of the senior students from the inner courtyard looked on with intense admiration and couldn't help but exclaim in praise.
Not far away, Lin Wanzhu's beautiful eyes sparkled.
She happened to be on an inspection tour today, but she never expected to see such a stunning scene.
This movement technique is fierce and violent, and when combined with the Demon-Subduing Blade, it greatly enhances combat power! Keep in mind he's only been a martial artist for a short time, yet he already possesses such astonishing combat strength!
This Junior Brother Su's comprehension is truly astonishing!
Such a movement technique must be very difficult to master. Did you really learn it just like that?
Junior Brother Su seems to be growing faster and faster. It seems that we underestimated the help that comprehension can provide to martial arts.
With the situation in the outer city currently turbulent and accidents frequently occurring on trade routes, the Lin family is in dire need of a powerful retainer like Junior Brother Su. Perhaps we could bring Junior Brother Su to the Lin family.
……
The inner courtyard of the Qian family home, the study.
Qian Qinghong leaned back in the armchair, one hand supporting her snow-white chin, the other holding a few thin sheets of love newspaper.
Today she wore a neat, tight-fitting martial arts outfit, her long, straight legs stretched out casually, her muscles smooth and powerful, exuding a heroic spirit that was no less than that of a man.
"Su Yu... a native of Qingxi Village... his net-casting skills are superb... he seems to have extremely poor aptitude, and his family didn't have high hopes for him, yet he still broke through to the Martial Artist level... he once repelled a strange being, and is suspected of killing a refugee martial artist..."
Each and every incident drew a glance from Qian Qinghong, his eyes darting around.
"A fisherman with no background has managed to get this far. Either his lack of talent is a lie, or he has exceptional comprehension or other abilities, or he's simply hiding his true strength!"
She put down the intelligence report, a resolute glint in her eyes.
In short, this Su Yu is definitely no ordinary person!
The Qian family is now in dire straits. Since the father's disappearance, the fourth uncle has colluded with outsiders to support Zhao Gaolang and others, intending to seize power.
My elder brother has once again joined the Black Stone Army on their campaign, and his fate remains unknown...
For a woman like her to support such a large family business, she must have her own sword!
"Su Yu has an impeccable background, is loyal and righteous, possesses exceptional net-casting skills, and is also capable in martial arts... He is the best candidate to accompany me to the depths of the Blackwater River!"
"As long as I can get that thing there, I can break through to the Tendon Forging Realm, and then the Qian family's crisis can be resolved!"
"Go and call Qian Wenhu here."
The maidservant Chun'er immediately bowed her head in agreement and turned to leave.
A moment later, Qian Wenhu entered with his maid Chun'er. "Miss!"
Qian Qinghong glanced at Chun'er, who had followed her in, a cold glint in her eyes. "Chun'er, go and wait outside."
The maid Chun'er immediately nodded and left.
After leaving the house, Chun'er bit her lip and instead of waiting obediently in the courtyard, she hurriedly left towards the martial arts training ground.
Inside the room, Qian Qinghong looked at Qian Wenhu and asked, "Wenhu, what do you think of Su Yu?"
Qian Wenhu was taken aback, then said seriously, "Miss, although there are some doubts about the intelligence, I think Brother Su is young and promising, and he is clear about right and wrong, so he is trustworthy!"
"Oh, why are you so sure you think he's a good candidate? Is there another reason?"
Qian Wenhu paused for a moment, then continued, "Miss, there's a small matter I didn't write down. Years ago, our fishing team had an old man named Jiang who mentored me for several years. Although he later left the Qian family, we've always kept in touch."
"When I was investigating Su Yu's information, I found that he had also dealt with Su Yu. So I made a special trip to visit him. Old Jiang has a keen eye and also highly praised Su Yu."
After a moment's thought, Qian Qinghong decisively said, "Go and invite Su Yu over!"
"yes!"
……
"Young Master Su, this is the complete Azure Wave Fishbone Technique, please accept it!" Qian Qinghong didn't hesitate at all, and with a light wave of her hand, she pushed a manual in front of Su Yu.
Although Su Yu looked puzzled, he still took it and glanced at it.
It is indeed the complete Azure Wave Fishbone Skill, or Fish Dragon Skill. This martial art is a superior martial art, and since it is a water-based skill, it is probably extremely valuable.
"Miss Qian, what are the conditions under which the Qian family has bestowed this martial arts technique upon me?"
Qian Qinghong parted her lips slightly, her gaze fixed intently on Su Yu, "Young Master Su is young and promising, and I have high hopes for him. I would like to use this Azure Fishbone Technique to make your acquaintance!"
Su Yu immediately pretended to stuff the Fishbone Kung Fu manual into his pocket and teased, "Miss Qian, do you mean I don't need to become a retainer of the Qian family? And there are no other restrictions? I'm not that good to my friends; I might just take this manual and run away..."
Qian Qinghong chuckled, her smile as bright as a plum blossom blooming in the cold winter. "Young Master Su's words are quite interesting. However, I trust your character, so I'm offering my sincerity first. But the Qian family does indeed have a request!"
Her expression turned serious. "Young Master Su also knows that a few days ago, my Qian family's fleet encountered something strange in the depths of the Blackwater River, and was defeated and sunk to the bottom of the sand. We have suffered heavy losses and now the family only has one treasure ship left."
"But I must go again, for there lies the substance I need for my breakthrough! Young Master Su's net-casting skills will greatly aid in capturing that creature, so I implore Young Master Su to help me venture into the depths of the Blackwater River once more!"
Upon hearing this, Su Yu frowned and tapped the cover of the manual lightly with his fingers.
The depths of the Blackwater River... are now teeming with strange occurrences, making it a veritable forbidden zone.
Even the Qian family's well-equipped treasure ship fleet was almost completely wiped out, which shows how terrifying and eerie it was.
Is it worth risking your life for this secret manual?
But then he thought, he already had the skill of casting nets and the special ability to locate objects by listening to the waves. If he could learn the complete Fishbone Technique, wouldn't he be able to easily capture all kinds of precious fish, medicines and other treasures in the Blackwater River?
It would be such a pity to give up like this and never enter the Blackwater River again.
Moreover, it would be safer to go in with Qian Jiabao's ship.
However, the danger is too great. Right now, I am just a martial artist who has not yet broken through any acupoints, and I do not lack resources for the time being, so I cannot take too many risks.
Su Yu's mind was racing.
Are you going?
