The Third Set: 49 Days of Calamity Chapter 9: Alone (Part 2)

  By the stone table in the solitary courtyard, Qin Yu sat there, motionless.

  It was a whole day and night, Qin Yu either smiled or felt sad, but at this moment, Qin Yu suddenly smiled slightly. This faint smile seemed to blow away all the sorrow and grief. Qin Yu slowly stood up and looked up at the sky.

  "People have already died, and it's pointless to be sad. Grandfather, you're watching from above, I absolutely won't disappoint you." Qin Yu said calmly in his heart, then a "gurgling" sound came up, Qin Yu smiled, "Didn't expect that after a day and night without eating or drinking, my stomach is still quite hungry."

  As he spoke, Qin Yu directly ordered someone to bring over some food.

  ……

  Qin De stood in the room, staring at the military map on the wall.

  "Your Highness, Xiao Yu just sent some food in with someone, and judging from the Third Prince's tone and demeanor, he should be recovering pretty well by now." Xu Yuan walked over to Qin De with a smile.

  "Oh?" Qin De's deeply furrowed brow unfolded, and a smile also appeared on his face. "Yu'er is not one to be so useless, completely immersed in sorrow." Upon hearing this news, Qin De also put down the stone in his heart.

  "Alright, now Yu'er doesn't need to worry about it anymore. Xu Yuan, take a look at this place... if we deploy 30,000 fierce tiger troops here..." Qin De immediately began discussing with Xu Yuan.

  ……

  Qin Yu was eating delicious food, but his mind was preoccupied with other things.

  "My father wants to achieve great things, and I must participate. In the past, he refused me because I wasn't a natural-born genius, but now I'm not only a natural-born genius, but also an unprecedented external martial arts master. If I tell my father..." Qin Yu's eyes flashed with a hint of sharpness.

  How many years has it been, Qin Yu has always been working hard, waiting for his father's affirmation.

  A congenital external skill master, this is enough to shock and praise one's own father king.

  "Right, when I just returned to the solitary courtyard that day, it seemed that when I was performing the first piece of 'Tongtian Map' with thirty-six movements, when the speed reached an extremely fast speed, the pillar of heaven and earth spiritual energy actually produced a silver light, and that silver light also produced intense pain." Qin Yu recalled that scene.

  At that time, Qin Yu remembered this matter, but he was immersed in the pain of Lian's death and did not think carefully.

  Moreover, it seems that the faster the cultivation, the thicker the absorption of heaven and earth spiritual energy. Well, try again! Qin Yu made a decision in his heart, finished eating in three or two mouthfuls, and then threw down his chopsticks, transforming his body into a gust of clear wind, flashing around the solitary courtyard.

  Speed!

  Qin Yu's speed in practicing those movements increased linearly, the thirty-six heavenly spiritual energies formed a pillar of air that entwined each other, forming an armor-like shape wrapped around Qin Yu. The speed increased incrementally, and the degree of condensation of the air pillars also continued to increase.

  A little silver light appeared, very few, and there were a few points of silver light on the gas column.

  "Look at this speed!"

  Qin Yu's eyes lit up, and he immediately controlled his speed from increasing further. He clearly felt the heavenly spiritual energy with a hint of silver light infusing into his body, causing his muscles to undergo rapid changes, cells tearing apart and then repairing themselves once again.

  A sharp pain emanated from the depths, causing Qin Yu's face to turn pale.

  Fortunately, Qin Yu did not increase his speed again. The current Silver Light was still fine, and the slight pain in that position Qin Yu could still bear. If there were too many Silver Lights, the whole body would be in such severe pain, even Qin Yu estimated that he would be in agony.

  His entire body's muscles were continuously absorbing the specks of silver light, and Qin Yu discovered that this silver light seemed to be a kind of extremely refined energy, much more refined than the heavenly spiritual energy. The speed at which his muscles were being tempered and transformed was advancing at a completely perceptible rate, while the entire column of air was still constantly replenishing its energy, continuing to merge into Qin Yu's body.

  "Very good, as expected, the 'Tian Tian Tu' is not that simple. How could it be just absorbing a bit of heaven and earth spiritual energy? I just don't know what secrets the second and third pieces of the Tian Tian Tu hold." Qin Yu thought to himself, but his movements became slightly more swift and fierce.

  In an instant, the floating and flickering starlight on the air column increased, and Qin Yu's internal pain also intensified. Qin Yu's eyebrows slightly furrowed, but a hint of a smile appeared on his face.

  As time passed, after two days, the silver light had almost covered Qin Yu's entire body. When the silver light flowed over the original place again, Qin Yu no longer felt severe pain, only a slight numbness, and his muscles were not as rapidly progressing as they were at first.

  In just two days, Qin Yu's muscle strength had absolutely increased by more than double.

  "Speed, accelerate again!" Qin Yu continued to move, for two whole days of continuous movement, Qin Yu didn't feel a bit hungry, absorbing so much heaven and earth spiritual energy was enough to replenish the consumed energy. As Qin Yu's speed increased, the silver light in the air column increased once more.

  "Hoo-hoo~~"

  The column of heavenly energy infused with silver light permeates the muscle tissue, moving rapidly from one block of muscle to another until it is completely absorbed.

  The faster the speed, the more special silver light there is?

  "What's going on? I'm now speeding up, but why is the silver light getting less?" Qin Yu finally discovered this problem. At present, the speed has not reached Qin Yu's limit at all, and it should be known that Qin Yu is still carrying a heavy load at this moment.

  "Alright, at this speed." Qin Yu then stopped accelerating and continued doing these movements at this optimal speed.

  As Qin Yu's movements continued, the thirty-six columns of air containing silver light constantly seeped into his body, producing wave after wave of wonderful numbness and tingling sensations. The strength of his muscles was also slowly increasing. Just as Qin Yu was indulging in this wonderful feeling...

  "Xiao Yu, it's been three whole days, how come you haven't eaten at all?" Xu Yuan's voice sounded from outside the solitary courtyard.

  Qin Yu's attention wavered, and his movements naturally slowed down. However, in that instant of slowing down, the silver light from the thirty-six air columns enveloping Qin Yu suddenly surged up, with its density increasing by nearly twice as much.

  "Xu Shu......" Qin Yu had just said this one word when he felt a surge in the numbness and tingling sensation within his body, and he also discovered the astonishing change from earlier.

  "What's going on? Weren't you in top condition just now, how did your speed increase so much the moment I slowed down?" Qin Yu's eyes suddenly lit up, like a torch in the dark night, and his heart was suddenly filled with excitement.

  It seems that the actions in those thirty-six pictures are not so simple.

  "Little Feather." Xu Yuan's voice sounded again, Qin Yu hastily said: "Uncle Xu, I'm focusing on my cultivation, don't worry about me. I still have some food and water here, Uncle Xu, I won't leave this solitary courtyard, don't let anyone disturb me. I want to focus on my cultivation... that is, go into seclusion!"

  Retreat, generally a master will prepare some food and water to avoid being disturbed, then start focusing on cultivation in a place where no one will disturb them.

  "Closed door?" Xu Yuan was slightly stunned, but Xu Yuan wasn't an ordinary person either. He smiled and said, "Alright, Little Yu, I'll have someone prepare some food and water for you right away. You can focus on your cultivation here, no one will disturb you."

  "Thank you, Uncle Xue," Qin Yu said. After finishing speaking, he waited for the servant to bring food and water, and then he would close himself off alone to carefully ponder what secrets lay within the thirty-six diagrams of the "Tongtian Map".
