Supreme Martial Arts: Unlock Boundless Power!

Chapter 54

The Zhou family had made thorough preparations this time, sparing no expense. They had especially planned in advance on how to handle the aftermath of hunting down spiritual beasts. However, they had not anticipated that hunting down the Golden Crown Python would prove to be so challenging.

Fortunately, Zhou Yi's sudden rise to power resulted in him inexplicably slaying the colossal creature with a single strike. Otherwise, they would have likely suffered a great loss. Now that the Golden Crown Python was killed, Zhou Yi didn't need to worry about anything further.

After the group clumsily dealt with the python, Zhou Yi's inner energy gradually recovered. However, he felt extremely frustrated when his grandfather adamantly ordered him not to walk and instead be carried on a makeshift stretcher by Zhou Quanxin and Zhou Quanming.

Unable to resist, Zhou Yi obediently returned to their mountainous home under his grandfather's watchful gaze on the stretcher. When they left, no one had any knowledge of their departure, and the same was true for their return.

Although it was already broad daylight, before their departure, they had instructed their trusted subordinates who made sure everything was arranged properly to avoid causing any commotion. They entered the estate separately and safely deposited the python into an underground chamber within the Zhou family's courtyard.

Without alerting anyone outside, the entire family worked as laborers to complete the tasks. Finally, they gathered in the grandfather's hall once again.

At this moment, Zhou Yi could no longer contain himself. He leaped up from the stretcher, facing the concerned gazes of the others, and without a word, he swung his palm into the air.

With a single palm strike, he didn't unleash the power of the ninth level of internal energy; he merely exerted the strength of the eighth level. However, the sharp and somewhat piercing sound of the air being torn apart made everyone realize that this could not possibly be achieved by an injured person on a whim.

Letting out a long sigh, Zhou Wude asked, "Yi, are you truly completely healed?"

Zhou Yi confidently replied, "At most another day of rest, and I will surely recover."

Indeed, this time he inexplicably depleted all of his internal energy, causing significant damage to his meridians. If it were anyone else, even if they survived, they would have suffered severe injuries. However, Zhou Yi had a unique physique, and his water-based cultivation technique, Ripple Arts, had silently circulated and nurtured his meridians. According to his estimation, he would be completely restored by tomorrow at the latest.

A smile of relief finally appeared on Zhou Wude's face as he looked at his grandson, a mixture of satisfaction and contentment in his eyes.

"Yi, when you unleashed all of your internal energy in an instant just now, was that what happened?" Zhou Quanyi had been pondering this question in his heart, and now that everything was settled, he couldn't help but ask.

"Yes." Zhou Yi recalled the situation just now and confirmed it.

"How did you manage to do it?" Zhou Quanyi's eyes lit up with anticipation as he asked.

As soon as those words were spoken, everyone's gaze once again focused on Zhou Yi. They all wanted to know the answer because unleashing all of one's internal energy at once was almost unimaginable.

Zhou Yi furrowed his brows, rubbing his scalp in frustration. The situation at that moment had prompted him to act almost instinctively, dividing his internal energy into three equal parts, running simultaneously, converging simultaneously, and erupting simultaneously. As for why it had turned out that way and how he had accomplished it, to be honest, even he was confused and had no clear understanding.
