Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1049: Chapter 1048: Breaking Through the Bottleneck

Su Yang’s face was livid with fury, ”Robber, you robber, you actually stole so many Spiritual Medicines from me. Fine, I won’t waste words with you, just use your Bronze Seal Script to settle the account. This Bronze Seal Script is mine now!”

Xiao Huang was stunned and immediately barked twice at Su Yang. It meant to say that by eating these Spiritual Medicines, Su Yang could keep the Bronze Seal Script for a while, but how did it become his just like that?

Su Yang didn’t care about that; he just wanted that result.

”Don’t entangle me in your nonsense,” Su Yang said. ”You’ve already eaten my Spiritual Medicines, and you still want the Bronze Seal Script? No way! Unless you can spit those Spiritual Medicines back out for me, otherwise, this Bronze Seal Script is mine now.”

Xiao Huang was dumbstruck, witnessing such a tactic for the first time, it was completely flabbergasted. The Spiritual Medicines were already in its stomach; where would it even begin to spit them out? This was simply a trap!

However, Su Yang was secretly thrilled. This little guy had been extorting him for quite a while, and Su Yang had been harboring a lot of frustration. This time, he had finally managed to recover his losses with interest. The value of this Bronze Seal Script was definitely much higher than those medicines.

”I don’t care anymore. When you manage to spit those Spiritual Medicines back out, then come and ask me for the Bronze Seal Script!” After saying this, Su Yang immediately slid away, not giving the little guy any chance to retort.

Xiao Huang stood still, scratched its neck with its front paw, remained confused for a while, and then walked away with an annoyed expression.

Not long after Su Yang and Xiao Huang left, Yuan Tiangang and Wu Daozi quietly appeared from a hidden spot.

The two had been hiding far away but had witnessed the entire incident.

Yuan Tiangang muttered, ”Utterly shameless!”

Wu Daozi remarked, ”He has the charm I had in my youth!”

Yuan Tiangang added, ”He has the makings of someone who can accomplish great things!”

Wu Daozi concluded, ”It’s him!”

The two exchanged glances, and their expressions grew more and more lecherous, and it was hard to guess what kind of sinister thoughts were brewing in their minds.

Su Yang was unaware that these two old lamps had come over. Although he felt that there was something off about them, he couldn’t make out what it was from their appearance alone.

The appearance of Xiao Huang made Su Yang certain that these two old lamps were definitely not as simple as they appeared to be.

Possibly, to uncover the secrets of this school, starting from these two old lamps would be essential.

However, the matter of immediate concern was to first figure out the situation with the Bronze Seal Script.

Su Yang returned to his dormitory and found an unoccupied room to enter.

Although the school had not been open for long, many people had already left the campus. As a result, numerous rooms in the dormitory building were vacant.

Su Yang closed the room door and casually set up a small array nearby.

This array had no offensive power and emitted only a faint wave of energy. Ordinary people passing by would feel no effect, but if someone with True Qi in their body passed by, they would immediately trigger the energy, alerting Su Yang to their approach.

Moreover, the key point was that the energy fluctuations of this array were exceedingly weak. Even a strong individual like Qi Zhishan could not possibly sense these energy fluctuations. Thus, this array was perfectly suited to safeguard against any stealthy approach.

After taking out the Bronze Seal Script, Su Yang carefully observed the patterns on it once again.

As before, the patterns on this Bronze Seal Script documented some cultivation methods that aligned with the methods in Destiny’s Tome.

Su Yang then took out Destiny’s Tome and scanned it again with the Bronze Seal Script.

This time, Su Yang saw even more content in Destiny’s Tome.

With the addition of a part of the Bronze Seal Script, more content was displayed in Destiny’s Tome.

Some things that Su Yang previously did not understand were now explained in greater detail, allowing him to easily comprehend them.

Su Yang carefully reviewed the content of Destiny’s Tome once again. With the help of the Bronze Seal Script, he gained even more knowledge from Destiny’s Tome this time, which was incredibly beneficial.

By the time he finished reading Destiny’s Tome, the sky had already brightened. Su Yang felt not the slightest bit tired; instead, he was invigorated.

He put away Destiny’s Tome and stored the Bronze Seal Script, walked to the window, and looked at the slowly rising sun. Slowly closing his eyes, he quietly bathed in the sunshine, calmly breathing in and out in accordance with the foundational Taoist breathing technique recorded in Destiny’s Tome.

It was uncertain how much time had passed when Su Yang’s breathing became smoother. With each inhalation, nature’s spiritual energy entered his body through his nose. After each exhalation, a white light appeared at his nostrils, resembling two winding little snakes, which was very strange.

After breathing in this manner for a long while, Su Yang suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes filled with dazzling light. Bathed in the sunlight, he looked like a Heavenly God descending, making it impossible to look directly at him.

After a good while, the light in Su Yang’s eyes gradually dissipated, and he returned to his normal appearance, as if nothing had changed.

Yet, a smile appeared on Su Yang’s face. During that breathing exercise, he had followed the insights he had obtained from re-reading Destiny’s Tome with the Bronze Seal Script last night.

This insight proved to be extremely effective for Su Yang. Su Yang just tried it briefly and was able to sense the energy of heaven and earth, a feat only Earth Immortals could achieve.

At this moment, Su Yang finally understood why figures such as the Martial Top Scholar Beigong War God were so formidable.

He also finally grasped what he was lacking to reach the Great Perfection Realm.

Since the battle of Medical Saint Sect, it could almost be said that Su Yang’s strength had stagnated.

Since the battle of Medical Saint Sect, Su Yang seemed to have hit a bottleneck and could not advance at all.

During this period, Su Yang returned to Nanluo City and visited many places, hoping to gain some insights from the natural world to push himself further.

However, over this lengthy period, Su Yang had no new insights and made no progress at all. Having traversed so many places, Su Yang felt as if there was always something limiting him, preventing his breakthrough and blocking any new understanding.

His progress had been too rapid previously, and the larger the bottleneck he reached, the greater the shackles felt. It was incredibly difficult for him to break through this point.

In fact, this bottleneck exists for anyone in the Venerable Realm.

For instance, Onitsuka and Mr. Jin Ye, whom Su Yang had previously encountered, had roughly the same strength as Su Yang and were stuck at this same bottleneck.

And just like them, many who possess similar strength are restricted by this bottleneck. Yet, once someone breaks through this bottleneck, they can advance further and truly start moving towards the Great Perfection Realm.
