Chapter 2: Mysterious Injury (Part 2)

  In the quiet temple behind the woods, from Qin Yifan's wrist pulse, Wu Ming Dashi let out a long sigh, unexpectedly not mentioning Qin Yifan's injuries, but instead staring intently at Qin Yifan's face, carefully examining it non-stop.

  Qin Yifan felt somewhat unnatural under Wumings' gaze, and his physical injuries also made him tense. The master's behavior must have had a reason, so Qin Yifan could only furrow his brow and ask: "Master, is something wrong?"

  "Hmm!" The master nodded, gave a profound and mysterious response, but didn't continue to answer. Instead, he carefully examined other parts of Qin Yifan's body. After a while, he furrowed his brow and asked: "Has the young friend come into contact with anything unclean recently?" This form of address only appeared when referring to Qin Yifan; for others, the master would use the term "donor".

  "What's unclean? What do you mean, Master?" Qin Yifan didn't quite understand the master's words and looked himself up and down for half a day. Apart from the injuries to his meridians, he didn't feel like there was anything wrong with him. Could it be that the master was referring to that red glow?

  "It's those things that can't possibly appear in the mortal world." The master's eyebrows were still furrowed: "The young friend has a heavy murderous aura, and the killing energy is emanating from his body. Ordinary ghosts and monsters wouldn't dare to approach him easily. Could it be that some extraordinary evil spirit has been born?"

  "Monster?" Qin Yifan had heard of these supernatural legends, but he never believed in them. However, after experiencing what happened that day and the changes within himself, Master's words made him have to believe.

  "The evil aura on Xiao You's body is even thicker than your killing aura, and judging from the situation, it's not a recent development." The master chose his words carefully, trying not to shock the young man in front of him. However, he apparently underestimated Qin Yifan's nerves, as upon hearing this, Qin Yifan barely blinked, quietly waiting for an explanation.

  "The little friend had accumulated a murderous aura over the years in the army, and ordinary monsters didn't dare to get close. To form such a killing energy on you, and it even affects your practice, is not an ordinary monster." The master also did not hide anything, and said his speculation out loud.

  Qin Yifan thought carefully and decided to tell the master about what he had seen that day. As soon as Qin Yifan described the person standing in mid-air, the master seemed to have understood something, but still didn't interrupt and quietly listened to Qin Yifan's account of what he had seen, even asking to see the super kitchen knife that Qin Yifan had mentioned for a long time.

  "Ah, a superior being!" Even Qin Yifan's revered Master Wumeng couldn't help but sigh upon hearing that person's cultivation: "What a pity!" His face was filled with unconcealed admiration and regret.

  It was then that Qin Yifan first heard the fresh terms Tian Jie and Du Jie. Those words were enough to make heaven itself jealous, making heaven use such a way to test him.

  Qin Yifan didn't know what kind of way could reach such a height, making even the heavens jealous. But right in front of him was someone with not-so-great martial arts skills, but with experience and insight that far surpassed his own. These questions were enough for him to get all the answers before his injuries healed.

  The injury is a bit of a nuisance in the eyes of the master, this is not because Qin Yifan's body is bad, nor is it that his cultivation is insufficient, but rather, it is the technique he cultivates.

  Perhaps Qin Yifan has excellent qualifications and an extraordinary talent for such murderous martial arts, but these advantages that would make ordinary martial artists envy to death cannot make up for the deficiencies in practicing their skills.

  That kind of shortcut to success that is prevalent in the military, and even those above a certain rank don't bother to learn it, can indeed make an ordinary soldier quickly become a relatively high-level master who can use internal power to defeat enemies. However, behind this quick-fix method lies an irreparable flaw.

  To meet the needs of the military, the designer of this kung fu not only provided a quick-learning feature but also had the characteristics of elegance and simplicity that can be practiced by people of all qualities. Of course, different qualities and understandings will definitely lead to differences in practice, but apart from this, it is still very suitable for large-scale promotion in the military.

  However, the consequence of rapid success is that practicing such a technique can never reach perfection. These techniques are not to mention those Jianghu Wulin aristocratic families and big sects, even some generals with some connections in the military will not choose to practice them. Only the lowest-level soldiers would practice these techniques that can greatly improve their combat power.

  As a soldier who started from the bottom, Qin Yifan's five years of military experience was marked by his extraordinary intelligence and talent, as well as his diligence and hard work. In less than three years, he had mastered the martial art to its utmost limit. Moreover, through his efforts, he successfully broke through the limitations of the martial art, reaching a realm that even its creator could not describe.

  Unfortunately, even at such a height, it is still impossible to break through the congenital deficiency of this kung fu, and it can only go so far. It's impossible to take another step forward from the top of the hundred-foot pole.

  But the trouble in Master's eyes is precisely due to this. Qin Yifan's talent, in his eyes, can almost be called extraordinary and sacred, but unfortunately, he not only broke his body in the military, but also was limited by this kind of kung fu that even if he had never practiced martial arts before, it would still be a waste in his eyes. Such talent and enlightenment are really a pity.

  Although the master did not practice martial arts, he was well-versed in medical theory and had a very clear understanding of Qin Yifan's meridian damage. To treat his innate deficiency caused by the more complicated reasons for the deviation of his Gong Fa, it is indeed necessary to put in a lot of hard work.

  It's okay, the master didn't shrink back because of trouble, but instead openly and honestly told Qin Yifan about these difficulties, and bluntly said that due to necessary treatment, it was very likely that Qin Yifan would inevitably decline in his cultivation.

  The decline of cultivation, for a martial artist, is an indescribable sorrow. When it comes to Qin Yifan, it's no exception, and an expression of loss is inevitably revealed.

  "Let go, let go, without letting go, how can you gain?" Master Wumings seemingly saw through Qin Yifan's thoughts, and instead of offering him direct advice, he used a profound phrase that Qin Yifan might not even understand.
