How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!-Chapter 134: Drawing the National Border

The night was deep and tranquil, the surroundings utterly silent.

Suddenly, Lin Xiaosu’s heart skipped a beat as he heard footsteps ascending the stairs.

These footsteps, unusually light and swift...

He abruptly turned around, staring at the staircase entrance.

At the staircase entrance, a person ascended step by step, their eyes meeting in the darkness, both possessing a hint of surprise.

Lin Xiaosu’s gaze lowered, and he saw that his brother was holding a rock, weighing about forty pounds.

Lin Xiaosu held his breath, all this seemed to be a confirmation...

"Little Su! I... succeeded!" Lin Xiaoyang extended his left hand, lifting the forty-pound rock, and punched out with his right fist!

Boom!

The rock shattered into pieces.

Lin Xiaosu smiled.

He had wondered why his brother was bringing such a big rock up to the Observation Tower, it turns out it was specifically meant to be a demonstration prop for him.

This clearly showed how excited his brother was about his breakthrough.

Indeed, after five days of adjustments, Lin Xiaoyang had finally taken that step, his Rejuvenation True Qi had connected the two main channels, ten major channels, and the Eight Extraordinary Meridians in his body.

He had reached the same level as Miao Ruolan.

Of course, it was the skill level Lin Xiaosu first encountered with Miao Ruolan, not including the later enhancements.

Below, another set of footsteps approached, carrying a unique rhythm.

Lin Xiaosu laughed: "Zhi Jun has also broken through!"

"How do you know?"

"Just from the sound of his footsteps, True Qi completely connected, you can tell it’s different from ordinary people."

No sooner had the voice dropped than Zhi Jun climbed up the Observation Tower.

"Master, I succeeded!" Zhi Jun’s face was flushed with excitement.

Lin Xiaoyang laughed: "Little Su knew already, just by hearing your footsteps."

"Ah? That’s amazing? It seems we can’t catch up with master’s skills any time soon." Zhi Jun laughed.

Lin Xiaosu said: "Zhi Jun stop calling me master, and the comrades at the outpost shouldn’t either, you guys are my brother’s brothers, we are all brothers."

"That’s true!" Lin Xiaoyang said, "We are all soldiers, calling someone master seems a bit like starting a school, let’s all stop calling each other master, just call little Su, or if you really want to show some affection, calling each other brothers works too!"

This hint was necessary.

The title master, in the Ancient Martial system, has a special implication.

It signifies the founding of a martial school.

And since everyone is a soldier, how could they possibly found martial schools?

Thus, from then on, a tacit agreement was formed; soldiers at the outpost would just call Lin Xiaosu brother...

"Captain, have you tested your current combat power?" Zhi Jun asked.

"What? Want to have a sparring match to test it?" Lin Xiaoyang also felt impulsive.

"Come on!" Zhi Jun said.

It was common for soldiers to fight among themselves; their fighting was not called fighting, but training. They frequently sparred in the past, and now with their Ancient Martial skills fully awakened, their strength greatly enhanced, and their reaction and agility reaching the ultimate state, wouldn’t it be unbecoming of a soldier not to spar?

But Lin Xiaoyang curbed his brimming enthusiasm: "Let’s skip it for now, we’ll spar tomorrow during the day!"

At this time, their comrades were all calmly training. If two Ancient Martial experts began fighting, the disturbance would be significant, stimulating others too much, disrupting their focus.

They enthusiastically set up a spar for the next day.

Lin Xiaosu watched smilingly from the side.

His sense of achievement was quite tremendous, Ruolan, look, I have greatly developed and spread your familial martial arts, the Rejuvenation Skill will shine brightly at the border outpost and become the guardian divine artifact of Daxia Country!

Ancient Martial, used on foreign battlegrounds, that is its ultimate purpose.

Suddenly, his gaze lifted, fixed on the jungle beyond the Observation Tower.

In that moment, his eyes were exceptionally sharp.

Under the Heavenly Tao Wisdom Eye, he spotted someone, their form swift as an eagle, initially a kilometer away but within an instant closing in to five hundred meters, before suddenly disappearing into the jungle.

As he vanished, the leaves of the jungle rustled.

Night birds scattered in alarm.

Lin Xiaosu’s figure flickered, suddenly exiting the Observation Tower.

Lin Xiaoyang and Zhi Jun exchanged glances, then leaped down from the Observation Tower.

The Observation Tower was thirty feet high, on normal days, they would never dare to jump down, but today, they dared!

Their toes touched the ground, dissipating the force of the impact, when suddenly a figure burst from the side of the fence, truly like a night owl.

It was him, the night owl, the fastest man under Kun Sha, the commander of Shan State.

The task of the night owl was to lure Lin Xiaosu.

But luring involved tactics.

Crossing national borders to attack is not commonly done, unless one can provoke anger in Lin Xiaosu or make him perceive their danger, only then would he rashly cross the border to attack.

The strategy of the night owl was to break into the outpost and kill.

By killing the people of the outpost, Lin Xiaosu would then be provoked to pursue him across the border.

His speed instantly reached its zenith, the genes from birds completely activated in his blood.

Passing through this deadly jungle took him less than five minutes, and at his next stride, the outpost was beneath him, his form rising directly into it.

However, just as he had crossed the boundary, a finger seemed to emerge out of nowhere.

Shick!

It precisely landed on his forehead!

The night owl’s eyes, kin to that of raptors, widened in utter disbelief.

While simultaneously, Lin Xiaoyang swiftly turned around!

Behind him, unbeknownst when, a light fog appeared, and within that mist, a figure, elusive and real, a dagger in hand ghostly arriving at his neck.

If it were Lin Xiaoyang of the past, suddenly encountering such a ghost-like person, he would surely be dead without a doubt.

But today, he strikes with a punch!

This punch is one of the Military Eight Forms, the "Yellow Dragon Style," embodying the military’s assault tactics straight to the heart.

All soldiers have practiced this decisive, simple, and effective Military Eight Forms.

But from Lin Xiaoyang’s hands, how could it be simple?

Carrying the solemn aura of the battlefield.

Carrying an unstoppable heroic spirit.

The speed and strength reached the pinnacle.

This was the military character forged from his seven years in the military, coupled with the ancient martial arts forming a powerful strike.

The figure in the fog was You Ying.

You Ying’s greatest strength was her quasi-physical form.

She entered the jungle simultaneously with Night Owl; Night Owl turned into an owl in the sky, and she became the fog in the valley.

Night Owl attracted Lin Xiaosu’s attention, but she, Lin Xiaosu did not notice at all.

Taking advantage of the time Lin Xiaosu fought with Night Owl, she suddenly appeared beside Lin Xiaoyang, originally planning to behead him immediately, but instead, she faced a powerful counterattack from this soldier.

Faced with this mighty punch, You Ying was also shocked, her steps light as the wind, and she dodged in a flash.

Retaliating, her dagger aimed at Zhi Jun.

Zhi Jun’s body swiftly dodged to the side, the ghostly dagger grazing past his neck.

Without hesitation, Zhi Jun’s palm struck down like a blade!

This strike was the "Dragon Slaying Technique," one of the Military Eight Forms!

You Ying was truly surprised this time.

Wasn’t it said that only one person in this outpost was a formidable enemy?

Why are all three of them Genetic People?

The intelligence was wrong; this is life-threatening!

Escape!

Soundlessly, she vanished from before them, as if she had never appeared.

Lin Xiaoyang and Zhi Jun were simultaneously shocked.

Both of them were originally soldiers.

After receiving the ancient martial arts inheritance, they became legends within the military, but even together, using the fastest response and the most lethal Military Eight Forms, they still didn’t even touch the enemy’s clothes.

They were astonished by You Ying.

And You Ying was even more shocked.

She effortlessly escaped the ambush by Lin Xiaoyang and Zhi Jun, but twenty meters away, a scene terrified her.

Because Lin Xiaosu’s finger was pointing at Night Owl’s forehead.

Night Owl is finished!

Hurry and retreat!

With a movement of her hand, there was a light sound of a pop, a bullet exploded, and a cloud of mist arose.

As the fog lifted, Lin Xiaosu turned his head.

In the instant he turned, the thick fog seemed to spread instantly, the outpost, the jungle, all within the fog...

Lin Xiaosu moved his feet, the twenty-meter distance closed in a single step, the next moment, he crossed through the fog...

Lin Xiaoyang and Zhi Jun also took two steps, reaching the edge of the outpost, the cliff below blocking their path.

Both of their hearts raced simultaneously...

"Zhi Jun, you’re injured!" Lin Xiaoyang said.

"It’s nothing, just a flesh wound." Zhi Jun raised his hand, pressing it on his neck, his hand full of fresh blood, but he didn’t care at all: "Little Su has gone to pursue the enemy, in this jungle facing such ghost-like opponents..."

"It’s fine!" Lin Xiaoyang said: "This person couldn’t even kill us, facing Little Su, she’s just courting death!"

Lin Xiaosu had already chased a kilometer away.

Wherever he went, heavy fog pervaded, this thick fog was created by this mysterious genetic person, the special bullet in her hand would create a dense fog within a ten-meter radius once broken.

If it were an ordinary person, under such thick fog, they would have lost direction long ago, but his Heavenly Tao Wisdom Eye was so miraculous, the fog couldn’t block his sight at all.

The real reason he couldn’t catch up was not because of the visibility, but because of the opponent’s unique abilities.

The person ahead was a woman, her movements ever-changing, her escape route unimaginable, sometimes circling around a tree, sometimes climbing a tree to escape, sometimes passing between two trees only a foot apart, her body seemed able to change shape at any moment.

Such a method of escape posed a challenge to Lin Xiaosu’s pursuit.

At least he couldn’t pass through two trees only a foot apart.

And since he was the pursuer and she the escapee, the route of pursuit was determined by her, not by him.

This woman seemed to know this method was the only way to escape and deliberately chose such places to flee, for a time, Lin Xiaosu indeed couldn’t catch up to her.

But the more it was so, the less Lin Xiaosu was willing to let her go.

This person was very dangerous.

If she wasn’t killed now, she would become one of the biggest threats to Gongchun Mountain outpost in the future, with her movement techniques perfect for ambushes, anyone entering the jungle from the outpost could become her prey, and trying to hunt her would be almost impossible.

Lin Xiaosu’s True Qi enveloped his whole body, spinning faster and faster, his reaction speed also increasing rapidly, the pursuit in the jungle, from initially You Ying taking the initiative, to later, gradually losing the initiative, Lin Xiaosu’s pursuit became terrifying.

Even if she chose the best paths, using her body’s special genes, and utilizing the surrounding vegetation and rocks to create obstacles for Lin Xiaosu, Lin Xiaosu’s way of solving obstacles had become second nature.

If you circle around a tree, he circles faster than you.

If you climb a tree, often just as you’ve jumped up, a strong wind would follow close behind.

If you pass between two trees, he would detour to the side, several times You Ying was nearly blocked head-on by him.

Just one block, and You Ying would undoubtedly die.

In terms of skills, she admitted she was a notch below Night Owl.

The jungle was beginning to be unsuitable as her home ground.

Fortunately, her objective had already been achieved.
