The innate martial skill called the Fist Positions of Dragons and Tigers!

With the word innate, it must be a skill intended for those who had reached the Innate Realm.

Little did Lin Yun know about the Innate Realm.

If it hadn’t been for those incomplete copies that he had learnt from, he might have known even less.

But it was needless to explain how powerful the Innate Realm was.

It was said that only the Patriarch of the Qingyun Sect had reached the Innate Realm, but no one could verify its authenticity.

With Lin Yun’s present horizon, it was inconceivable how the innate martial artists made their achievements as described.

Looking at the incomplete copies in his hand, Lin Yun was awe-struck.

“Take a look first.”

In order to achieve the result of surpassing Zhou Yun, it was a worthy try even if it was an adventure.

“The first move of the Fist Positions of Dragons and Tigers was called the Commanding Presence of Dragons and Tigers. The dragon was an ancient mythical creature that could fly in the sky and dive deep into the sea with its omnipotence. It could soar through the highest sky and compete with the rosefinch, as well as diving into the bottom of the ocean as the dominator. There was an ancient mythical creature named White Tiger, which was the king of all animals on land. No one dared to compete with them among the thousands of miles of mountains and rivers. The wind came with the dragon, and the clouds came with the tiger. The Gathering of the Wind and Cloud served as the foil to the Commanding Presence of Dragons and Tigers.”

Merely the first move had made Lin Yun feel a bit soul-stirring and excited.

The person, who created these Fist Positions, had the talent that had reached the peak of perfection and great courage that could conquer everything.

The dragon, either in the sky or in water, had its prestige as the dominator. However, its almighty power would be slightly inferior only on land. Once combined with that of tigers, there would be no deficiency whatsoever.

Fighting for the throne through the most severe trials, and no one dared to compete!

The so-called Commanding Presence of Dragons and Tigers is, namely, a fusion of both, which would completely frighten all other creatures by its coercion of momentum.

“How extraordinary the Commanding Presence of Dragons and Tigers is!”

A trace of excitement appeared on Lin Yun’s face. If he could master a bit of the Commanding Presence of Dragon and Tiger, he wouldn’t dread Zhou Yun’s momentum although it was compared favorably with the eighth-level martial art.

Thinking of Zhou Yun, who had just gained reputation in the group match by his prestige.

He won streak all the way, which pressed his opponents on at every stage and declared their failure before they even started.

“The second move was the paces of Dragons and Tigers. It was the bodily method incarnated by the posture of these two creatures, which included nine steps in total. Every step was implied with the power of them which could derive the anomalies of dragons rising and tigers leaping after the nine steps. And the third move…”

Lin Yun continued reading, but the copy of that Fist Positions of Dragons and Tigers was severely fragmentary. There was no complete method of practice even for the first move.

But it was beyond his expectation that, comparing to the first one, the latter moves had less recordation. And some of them were even directly omitted.

After reading it roughly, Lin Yun had a brief understanding in mind.

Although it was called the positions of fists, it also included the methods of paces, mental cultivation, the power of sounds as well as the anomalies, which was incomparable.

No wonder that the Head repeatedly warned him not to practice blindly. It could only be used to broaden his vision and perceive the essence of martial art.

Any one of those moves involved a lot, which included the corresponding methods of mental cultivation and paces.

“But I can study the Dragon and Tiger Fist carefully. I have the picture of the Fierce Tiger with Roses. And I had swallowed the Internal Elixir of the piebald tiger. I also practiced the highest level of the Fist Positions of Tigers, so I got some tips of grasping its power. The only thing that I need to improve is the power of dragons…”

Lin Yun calmly thought to himself. He had excellent qualifications, so it was such a pity if he did not practice the Commanding Presence of Dragon and Tiger.

“I still remember there was a Candlelit Dragon Statue at the Entrance Hall of the Sect. People said that the sculpture was penetrating and majestic. I might as well go and have a look as well.”

The sculpture could certainly not be mentioned in the same breath with the real thing.

But he did not have to master the Commanding Presence of Dragon and Tiger completely. Lin Yun thought that it would be enough to practice a bit of it.

At the thought of this, Lin Yun left the wooden hut and immediately rushed to the Entrance Hall of the Sect.

He saw the towering Candlelit Dragon Statue standing still after a while.

There were many passers-by in front of the Entrance Hall of the Sect. But no one would stay there except the sweeper.

Lin Yun observed carefully and only saw the Candlelit Dragon Statue, which was a hundred meters high, and was indeed majestic and penetrating.

Only a simple glance of it could bring about tremendous pressure.

Dragon was a mythical creature like the statue of god, which could not be stared at by ordinary people for long.

Real dragons did exist in this world. Lin Yun, who stood before altar the statue, lighted three incense sticks as a token of his veneration.

“No offense.”

After putting his palms together devoutly, Lin Yun quietly stepped back towards the most flourishing place of the power of that dragon a hundred meters away.

He looked into the eyes of the Candlelit Dragon, and felt stressed-out within a few glances.

The Candlelit Dragon Statue existed since the establishment of the Sect, and it had been worshipped by countless disciples for hundreds of years.

Although it was merely a statue, its power which had been accumulating for years was still uneasy for ordinary people to contend with.

The internal Fist Positions of Tigers of Lin Yun was brought into play quietly as the spirit of tigers in the mysterious picture was simulated in his mind.

The consummate fist of tigers matched with the spirit of tigers in the mysterious picture.

For a moment, under the pressure of the Candlelit Dragon Statue, the power of tigers in Lin Yun’s body reached its unprecedented peak.

Whoo!

A fierce gale sprang up with clouds of dust and leaves dancing in chaos before the Entrance Hall of the Sect.

“What the hell, where is the heavy wind coming from?”

The sweeper narrowed his eyes with the broom in his hands. He complained in a low voice as he watched the ground that had just been swept falling into disorder again.

The white clouds rolling tier upon tier were gathering from all directions in the sky above Lin Yun’s head.

The winds came with the dragon, and the clouds came with the tiger!

Lin Yun was ecstatic, and instantly brought to mind the first method of mental cultivation of the Fist Positions of Dragons and Tigers. And the current situation was almost the same as the secret recorded in the book.

However, what the book had recorded were ten thousand miles of clouds and nine days’ of fierce winds, which were much more tremendous than this.

Lin Yun’ thoughts collapsed as if electricity under the anomalies.

The first method of mental cultivation gradually grew clearer in his mind, as he was suddenly enlightened.

But just by the time of winds and clouds began to gather as the response to the Commanding Presence of Dragon and Tiger, the internal mysterious existence that Lin Yun did not know let out a cold hum of discontent.

Crack!

The Candlelit Dragon Statue peeled off layer upon layer and then collapsed without warning.

Suddenly, the wind scattered the clouds.

Only the crash of the Candlelit Dragon Statue was deafening.

The disciples passing by were all astonished and stiffened one after another.

The Candlelit Dragon Statue, which was majestic just now, turned into rubbles and vanished.

“Damn!”

Lin Yun was frightened, because the Candlelit Dragon Statue existed when the Sect was established.

Once it collapsed, he would be in great trouble under investigation.

Whizzing!

While he was pondering over it, the door of the Entrance Hall opened. The Young Patriarch Bai Yufan walked out accompanied by a group of elders.

They turned pale at the sight of that collapsed Candlelit Dragon Statue.

“How could this happen?”

“The Candlelit Dragon Statue stood still with our Sect until now, how could it collapse without any reason?”

“An evil sign!”

“Be sure to find out what happened!”

Lin Yun kept calm and was about to leave quietly.

“You are Lin Yun?”

As soon as he was ready to escape, the Young Patriarch Bai Yufan saw him called out his name.

Did he figure out it was me?

Lin Yun walked forward with a trace of uneasiness, and then answered calmly: “Yes, Young Patriarch. It’s me.”

“You don’t seem like a regular to me. Do you know what happened, or how the Candlelit Dragon Statue broke into pieces?”

The Young Patriarch Bai Yufan looked at Lin Yun and raised his voice.

“I have no idea. It fell into pieces not long after I finished offering incenses and left. I’m also startled, and I really don’t know what had happened.”

Lin Yun tried to remain calm and answered “truthfully”.

Bai Yufan nodded: “You may leave now. Do not tell others what happened today. Prepare yourself for the second round of our midyear assessment, you still stand a chance. All of you are dismissed now. Do not spread the incident of the Candlelit Dragon Statue casually!”

“Yes, Sir.”

It seemed that Bai Yufan was only impressed by him in the midyear assessment.

And did not associate him with the collapsed statue.

“I looked out of the window before, and saw the gathering of winds and clouds, which seemed to have been caused by an innate expert as he was passing by. Could it be the momentum of that expert collided with the power of the dragon, which had caused the collapse of that Candlelit Dragon Statue?”

“That stand a good chance. I’m just wondering who the expert was that passed by Qingyun Sect for no reason.

Lin Yun was finally relieved when he heard some elders of the Sect discussing when he was about to leave.

From their perspective, a small potato like him was impossible to be connected with the collapse of that Candlelit Dragon Statue.

Was it really none of my business?

Lin Yun looked back at the pieces of the collapsed Candlelit Dragon, and saw what used to be its glowering eyes had crumbled into ashes.

Never mind. It did not matter whether it was related to me or not.

More importantly, he had succeeded in grasping the secret of the Commanding Presence of Dragons and Tigers from the previous gathering of winds and clouds.

Lin Yun couldn’t wait to try before he returned the wooden hut.

He deeply imprinted the Power of the Candlelit Dragon in his mind and repeatedly pondered over in order to complement the mental cultivation methods of the Commanding Presence of Dragon and Tiger.

With the idea in his mind, he stood before the wooden hut and then closed his eyes to meditate.

The sun rose and set, and the clouds were gathering and spreading.

Lin Yun stood there and thought hard for two days until the light of the rising sun sprinkled on his face on the third day.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes and had a flash in his sight.

The mental cultivation method of the first move of the Fist Positions of Dragons and Tigers, which was complemented, was brought into play in his body with his internal power. The Candlelit Dragon and the White Tiger appeared in his mind at the same time.

He lifted his leg and took a step.

The winds and clouds began gathering together in an instant, as if the Dragon and Tiger were showing their power.

The big tree a hundred meters away exploded with a loud crash in an instant, destroying the grass on the ground, leaving everywhere miraculously free from dust or fallen leaves. Where the Flowers Bloom
