52: Chapter 52 Battle Qi

"How do you feel?"

A day passed in the blink of an eye. After practicing for a full day and being supplied with an ample amount of meat, Ye Qing and Zhou Rin slowly stopped the seven sets of movements of the Body Tempering Method.

Looking at the two drenched in sweat, Mo Bai asked while using his Spiritual Power to sense their condition.

"I feel... my body's strength and power have increased a lot, and I also feel more flexible."

After Ye Qing finished speaking, Zhou Rin nodded.

"Me too."

Hearing this, Mo Bai paused for a moment and immediately abandoned the plan of relying on their verbal descriptions for comparison.

Verbal accounts from two people with no data and relying purely on feeling had absolutely no reference value, but then he heard the two of them speak up.

"However, I feel as if a force is being born within my body; it's not the original Elemental Power."

"It seems to be a brand-new kind of power."

Ye Qing paused slightly, raised one hand in the shape of a palm blade, and then slashed downward.

"Swish!"

A blade of energy instantly descended, leaving an indentation on a nearby rock.

"Hmm?"

Before Mo Bai could react, he heard Zhou Rin speak from the side.

"Same here."

The moment the words fell, he also threw a punch, and the power attached to it directly turned into a gust of wind that blew outward.

"Eh? Why is mine so scattered?"

Zhou Rin was slightly stunned. He turned to look at Ye Qing, feeling a bit puzzled.

"How did you do that?"

"I just did it."

Ye Qing said casually. Seeing Zhou Rin's curiosity, the two immediately huddled together to figure it out, while Mo Bai used his Spiritual Power nearby to carefully sense the components of this power.

This was a composite energy. Upon careful sensing, Mo Bai gradually captured some traces of its aura.

"Elemental Power, and this fiery aura... it's a bit like the aura naturally emitted from the body... the Power of Flesh and Blood."

"And Spiritual Power."

Watching the two try with excitement, Mo Bai sank his mind into his own body, searching for the source of this power.

Initially, he didn't find the existence of this power in his body, but when he began practicing the Body Tempering Method, slivers of power scattered among the flesh and hidden deep within the body faintly emerged.

With a thought from Mo Bai, his muscles moved accordingly. In the next moment, a surge of power condensed.

"Buzz!"

An air current enveloped the surface of Mo Bai's fist. When he pressed it against a rock, the rock instantly shattered.

Compared to Spiritual Power, the control of this power was more governed by bones and muscles.

After some experimentation, Mo Bai quickly reached a conclusion.

"It cannot be used to cast spells, cannot replace Elemental Power, has explosive power, and offers relatively fine control. Let's call it..."

Mo Bai pondered for a moment and immediately gave it a name.

"Battle Qi."

"Let's call this Battle Qi."

Mo Bai's voice rang in the ears of Ye Qing and Zhou Rin. Hearing these two words, they suddenly felt a strange sensation in their hearts.

"Heh, Battle Qi."

Zhou Rin suddenly smiled, and Ye Qing beside them couldn't help but condense a ball of Battle Qi to play with.

Obviously, the term 'Battle Qi' fit their imagination perfectly.

As Mo Bai looked at the Battle Qi in Ye Qing's hand, a sense of familiarity welled up in his heart.

He even had a feeling that if his Spiritual Power intervened, he might even be able to control that wisp of Battle Qi.

It was as if it were his own Battle Qi.

However, Mo Bai didn't dare to try it lightly, fearing he might scare Ye Qing.

But then Mo Bai had a thought and also condensed a ball of Battle Qi, striking it out.

When his Battle Qi and Ye Qing's Battle Qi collided, the two merged instantly without any hindrance, transforming into a larger Fist Print that landed on a boulder not far away.

"Bang!"

The boulder instantly exploded. The immense power left all three of them slightly stunned.

"It can be played like this?"

Zhou Rin's eyes lit up at the sight. Seeing Mo Bai and Ye Qing starting to experiment again, he immediately struck out a ball of Battle Qi to try and merge it.

But in the next moment... "Puff!"

The Battle Qi Zhou Rin struck out was instantly defeated, and the Battle Qi produced by the fusion of Mo Bai and Ye Qing's power landed directly on the fragments of the boulder on the ground.

"Bang!"

Still possessing immense power, the repeated occurrence proved that what happened just now was neither a coincidence nor an illusion.

At this moment, Mo Bai's eyes lit up as an idea popped into his head.

If two people can merge and amplify the power, what about ten? A hundred?

Even a thousand or ten thousand people?

Mo Bai couldn't help but feel excited, and not just him—Ye Qing beside them was also quite thrilled.

"It actually works! Two people releasing Battle Qi together can really enhance the power."

Ye Qing couldn't help but say, and Mo Bai also took a shallow breath, while only Zhou Rin stood by with wide eyes.

"Why?"

"Why? Why can't I do it? My control over Battle Qi isn't weaker than Ye Qing's."

"Brother Mo, you guys are ostracizing me!"

"Bullshit! Didn't I learn it together with you?"

Hearing this, Ye Qing immediately put their hands on their hips and said proudly.

"This is what you call talent."

"Bullshit! That's absolutely impossible. Brother Mo, you must have held something back."

Ye Qing was about to say something when they saw Mo Bai smile and immediately paused.

"Ah, I really...?"

Hearing this, Zhou Rin's eyes widened. He looked at Mo Bai in shock, as if his soul had suffered a heavy blow.

"Alright, alright, don't look at me with those strange eyes. It was just a control experiment."

"Isn't it normal for things to be different? I'll set you up with it later."

Mo Bai said casually, his Spiritual Power extending directly into Ye Qing's body.

This time, the entry of Spiritual Power was much smoother and simpler than before; the resistance was much smaller, making it very convenient.

Meanwhile, Zhou Rin showed no change in this regard.

Aside from that, there were no other differences in the changes brought about by the Body Tempering Method.

It wasn't until dark, after thorough research, that Mo Bai took a deep breath. He had roughly understood everything.

"By merging my Spiritual Power through the Body Tempering Method, I can make the bodies of the practicing warriors defenseless against me. My Spiritual Power will enter as if it were coming home, becoming more and more natural."

"However, this is just a small matter. It's not a big deal; at least for me, it mostly provides some convenience."

"But after integrating Spiritual Power into Battle Qi, the Battle Qi becomes more condensed and easier to control, though it consumes more and has less power."

"The integrated Spiritual Power should be able to act as the core intelligence for controlling each wisp of Battle Qi."

"This makes Battle Qi integrated with Spiritual Power and Battle Qi without it two completely different states. The former is like Battle Qi with its own little AI; the energy required for control and the final precision will far exceed the latter."

"The same goes for combat power, just like Ye Qing and Zhou Rin. However, this doesn't necessarily require integrating my Spiritual Power. If the Body Tempering Method is modified, integrating one's own Spiritual Power can achieve the same effect."

Mo Bai pondered slightly in his heart, then took a deep breath and said softly.

"As for the final point..."
