Chapter 84: Chapter 76: Killing Move – Whirlwind Thunder, Sports Meet (4K, Request for Monthly Pass)_2

Even if it’s just “theoretically,” doesn’t The Sixth Agency’s power seem a bit too excessive?

“The Sixth Agency was originally established as a temporary organization to coordinate domestic forces with plans to disband it once we had the abnormal disasters brought by the Intersecting Boundaries under control.”

Wu Youqing spread her hands.

“As you can see, the problems at the Intersecting Boundaries haven’t been solved to this day, and new issues arise daily. The Heretical God Cult, Martial Artists, Blessed Ones, companies with private armies, and various terrorist organizations… the number of abnormalities is growing.”

“The Sixth Agency thus remained, all the way until now.”

Xue Jing pondered, “The Sixth Agency has such extensive power; doesn’t the government worry about losing control over it?”

Wu Youqing shook her head, “At the very top of the Agency is the ‘Institution Management Committee,’ comprising thirteen members, almost all residing in Cangting.”

“Even the chairperson of each generation’s committee is directly… well, there’s no one above him.”

She pointed upwards.

Xue Jing indicated that he understood.

With that in mind, he got it.

The Sixth Agency was essentially the nation itself.

It served as an official reason for the authorities to legally bypass all other departments and directly wield state power.

Xue Jing’s eyes reflected his deep thoughts.

Though he realized the Institution would be significant, he hadn’t expected it to be this immense.

“All right, the main reason I asked you to come today was to remind you about the matter of White Crow, and besides…”

Wu Youqing gave him a meaningful look.

Then she shook her head.

“Never mind, there’s nothing else for the time being.”

Xue Jing was somewhat puzzled but didn’t ask further.

He stayed a little longer, chatting about this and that with the young woman before leaving the library to head home.

…

Three days later.

Hidden Dragon Dojo.

In the Cultivation Room, Xue Jing was practicing the ‘Flesh Training’ part of the Armor Shaking Skill. Each time he paused, his whole body’s muscles rippled and shook like waves, making whooshing sounds.

Li Qi, sitting in his wheelchair, watched his progress and after a long while nodded and spoke:

“You’ve almost got it; your muscles’ strength should be sufficient to withstand this move now. Go ahead and try it out.”

Xue Jing nodded, took a deep breath, and began circulating his breathing skills.

The True Dragon within his body emitted a dragon’s cry, roaming throughout his body, causing all his muscles to suddenly tense up.

Then, the muscles of his right arm started to undulate, beginning close to the right shoulder, gradually revealing spiral-shaped indentations.

These spirals extended toward the palm, converging as if twisting several steel rods together like wringing out a towel.

All the spiral indentations ultimately came together at a central point, located above the knuckle of his right fist.

Xue Jing’s gaze sharpened, and he threw a spiral punch into the air with tremendous force!

“Boom!!”

With this strike, he actually created a thunderous explosion from thin air!

The airflow in front of Xue Jing was stirred up by the punch, turning into a howling vortex as it struck the curtain five meters away.

With the window open, the curtain was caught in the violent airflow, flapping wildly outside as if about to be torn from its hooks and fly away.

“Good!”

Li Qi applauded with a smile, saying,

“This is one of the Hidden Dragon School’s Five Major Practices, Whirlwind Thunder!”

Xue Jing touched his right hand.

His right hand was extremely sore now, many of the muscles had torn open, and the skin was marked with red and purple discoloration from the bruising caused by the torn muscles.

Whirlwind Thunder, one of the Five Major Practices of the Hidden Dragon School, corresponded to the ‘Flesh Training’ motion of Armor Shaking Skill.

The theory behind it involved infusing Compressed Strength into the muscles in a spiral pattern, culminating in a powerful, explosive strike.

It was the Burst Skill with the highest base attack power among the Five Major Practices, the epitome of Rigid Force.

“Whirlwind Thunder is the easiest to learn among the Five Major Practices, but it also has the highest requirements.”

Li Qi chuckled,

“This spiral-compressed power is virtually limitless; as long as your body can bear it, you could even unleash a force several times stronger than the punch you just threw.”

“But this move requires extremely high muscle strength. Right now, you’re barely managing to use it, so don’t even think about compressing your power further. Otherwise, your muscles could burst apart or even dissolve, and you could die.”

Li Qi warned.

Xue Jing nodded, “I’ll remember that, Master.”

“Uh-huh…” Li Qi rubbed his chin, pondering for a moment before speaking,

“Your progress is as quick as ever. At this rate, you’ll soon be able to move from the external to the internal and start ‘Organ Nourishing’.”

“Unfortunately, our Hidden Dragon School is an external-style discipline; we don’t have much research in ‘Organ Nourishing’.”

Li Qi lamented.

“The most professional in ‘Organ Nourishing’ are the Martial Artists of the Taoist Sect,” he continued. “They have a scripture called ‘Yellow Grannie Skill’, which is unparalleled in the art of ‘Organ Nourishing’.”

Xue Jing asked curiously, “Yellow Grannie Skill? What a strange name.”

Li Qi smiled, “The name isn’t strange; you just haven’t grasped the brilliance of it.”

“People of the Taoist Sect, in their cultivation, liken the five organs inside the body to five different entities.”

“Among them, the spleen is referred to as ‘Yellow Grannie’, the lungs as ‘Golden Gentleman’, the liver as ‘Wood Mother’, the heart as ‘Charming Lady’, and the kidneys as ‘Red Child’.”

“And Yellow Grannie, the spleen, is the most crucial aspect of ‘Organ Nourishing’ in the Taoist Sect.”

Li Qi became animated, speaking nonstop,

“In the five organs, the role of Yellow Grannie is to coordinate and balance the rest, playing the part of a ‘matchmaker’.”

“In the Five Elements, Golden Gentleman and Wood Mother, namely the liver and lungs, are in discord. Liver Qi tends to rise, while Lung Qi tends to fall, going against each other; an imbalance between the liver and lungs can lead to illness.”

“Yellow Grannie can ‘regulate the liver and lungs’, making them harmonious, acting as the matchmaker for ‘Golden Gentleman’ and ‘Wood Mother’.”

“The saying goes, ‘Yellow Grannie mediates, and Red Child with Charming Lady joyfully unite.’ When Golden Gentleman and Wood Mother, the husband and wife, are in harmony, the heart and kidneys, Red Child and Charming Lady, can be healthy.”

“The Taoist Sect’s ‘Yellow Grannie Skill’ can take the spleen as a focal point, adjust all internal organs, and ultimately from the inside out, the ‘Organ Nourishing’ benefits the Five Major Practices, truly a unique internal cultivation method in the world.”

Xue Jing laughed, “Master, you seem to have done your research.”

Li Qi waved his hand dismissively, “I was quite a looker when I was young, quite a few girls were fond of me, including a young lady from the Taoist Sect… Unfortunately, back then I was young and strong and didn’t pay attention to ‘Organ Nourishing’. I didn’t manage to charm that lass’s Yellow Grannie Skill out of her.”

Xue Jing blinked, “You’ve had quite a few romantic debts, haven’t you?”

Li Qi glared at him, “What romantic debts? I am an upright gentleman, with very firm principles. I’ve only ever had eyes for my sister-in-law and haven’t flirted around. Don’t talk nonsense, young man.”

Xue Jing: “…”

“All right, I got up too early today and need to catch up on some sleep. You keep practicing on your own.”

Li Qi waved and wheeled himself out of the Cultivation Room.

After he left, Xue Jing circulated his power to dissipate the bruises in the injured area of his right arm.

With his fitness and Health Cultivation skills improving, coupled with the practice of Armor Shaking Skill and the enhancements from the Five Major Practices, his body’s recovery capacities had completely exceeded the limits of an ordinary person.

He could feel the torn muscles knitting back together, healing, and becoming even more resilient.

However, it wasn’t suitable to continue practicing the Armor Shaking Skill for the time being.

Xue Jing thought for a moment, took a shower, changed out of his Training Garment, and then left the Hidden Dragon Dojo, headed for home.

Reaching a nearby bus stop, he waited for his ride when suddenly his phone vibrated with an incoming call.

Pulling out his phone, the screen displayed an incoming call.

It was Mr. Du.

Xue Jing’s heart skipped a beat.

He suddenly remembered that today seemed to be the school sports event…

He had promised Mr. Du that he would definitely participate and had completely forgotten about it.

Xue Jing answered the phone, cleared his throat, and said, “Hello, Mr. Du.”

“Xue Jing, where are you? Why haven’t you arrived yet?” Mr. Du’s voice sounded anxious.

“I’ll be there soon, there’s a traffic jam.” Xue Jing chuckled awkwardly and quickly flagged down a taxi at the roadside.

“Don’t worry, Mr. Du, I’ll be there shortly.”
