“What are you doing?” Wuya sensed something strange on his shoulder, but after the previous fight with Su Baiyi, he did not think that Su Baiyi could pose a threat to him, so he did not stop his steps, and continued to run towards Fengdu Town. He would hand over Su Baiyi to the people of Thousand Inventions Courtyard there, and his mission would be completed.
“Have you ever heard of a martial art called Absorbing Star Technique?” Su Baiyi forced a smile.
Wuya frowned, but did not answer.
“What about the Beiming Divine Art? Or the Disintegrating Harmony Palm?” Su Baiyi inquired further.
“They are nothing but nonsense from novels and stories. There is no such martial art in the world. What do you want to say?” Wuya said coldly.
Su Baiyi asked another question, “Why is there no such martial art?”
“There are thousands of sects in the world, and there are various factions within each sect. Each faction practices different martial arts, and each person’s internal energy is different. Except for the same sect’s master and disciples, brothers and sisters who can transfer energy, if there are two different internal energies in one’s body, they will surely die from broken meridians.” Wuya said so, but he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, and stopped his steps. “And internal energy is stored in the dantian, which is constantly changing and flowing, not fixed. The internal energy that is absorbed will regenerate, and the internal energy that is obtained is not eternal. When transferring energy between the disciples of the same sect, only three-tenths of the internal energy can be transferred, and it will disappear in a few days.”
“Is that so?” Su Baiyi’s smile seemed much more relaxed now.
“There are many people in the martial arts world who want to create a martial art like the Absorbing Star Technique you mentioned, but they all failed.” Wuya narrowed his eyes. “Do you know that you are doing a very dangerous thing?”
At this moment, Su Baiyi was already standing on the ground. One of his hands had moved away from Wuya’s body, but the other hand was still on his shoulder. His smile became more confident, because his original strength had not only recovered, but even Wuya’s internal energy was slowly flowing into his body. Su Baiyi said with a smile, “You lost.”
“It seems that Xie Kanhua did not really teach you martial arts. Ordinary people think that practicing internal skills is to accumulate internal energy, but when one reaches a certain level of martial arts, they will know that practicing internal skills is a process of building a pool. Our dantian is the pool, and internal energy is the spring water. The size of the pool determines how much water it can hold. If it overflows, it drowns.” Wuya snorted coldly and tried to raise the long knife in his right hand, but found that as soon as he channeled his energy, it would circulate throughout his body before flowing into the palm on his shoulder. “You think your tiny pond can hold my water?”
“As an assassin, you should be a man of few words.” Su Baiyi said faintly. “But since just now, you have started to talk at length, to explain why it is impossible for me to absorb your internal energy. Why? Are you talking to me, or to yourself? Is it because you have already found out that I have done it!”
“I just don’t want to kill you, because my mission is to bring you back alive.” Wuya’s eyes flashed coldly. “But you are seeking death, so don’t blame me.”
Su Baiyi suddenly felt that the burning sensation on his hand that was on Wuya’s shoulder became stronger, as if he had touched a hot iron, but he still endured the pain and did not let go, so the internal energy began to flow into Su Baiyi’s body continuously. Su Baiyi was stunned. His absorption was gradual, but Wuya actively sent his internal energy in. The burning sensation on his palm immediately spread to his whole body, and a steam rose from Su Baiyi’s head.
“It’s almost done. It’s almost done.” Su Baiyi muttered.
“Is it enough? If not, I have more.” Wuya poured his internal energy into Su Baiyi once again.
Su Baiyi’s veins bulged on his forehead, and his skin gradually turned dark red. His white clothes were soaked with sweat, and he looked very painful, but he smiled at Wuya. “It’s not enough. Give me some more.”
Wuya was stunned, then sighed, “Forget it. It seems that you really want to die.”
At this time, Nangong Xi’er had arrived with her sword. She saw Su Baiyi’s abnormality and shouted, “Wuya, what are you doing to Su Baiyi!”
Wuya gave a bitter smile. It was clearly Su Baiyi who was playing tricks. He wanted to use his own internal energy to break Su Baiyi’s dantian, but it was only a helpless move. Now that Nangong Xi’er had arrived, he must be doomed today.
Su Baiyi was overjoyed and quickly instructed, “Senior sister, throw your sword at him!”
“Let him go!” Nangong Xi’er did not hesitate and immediately slapped Wuya on his back.
“Senior sister, don’t use your palm!” Su Baiyi hurriedly shouted, but it was too late. He saw Nangong Xi’er’s palm hit Wuya’s back, but the palm force disappeared like a stone sinking into the sea, directly without a trace. Nangong Xi’er immediately tried to withdraw her palm, but her palm seemed to stick to Wuya’s body and could not be pulled out. She immediately used her internal energy, but the internal energy flowed into Wuya’s body through her palm.
“What the hell.” Nangong Xi’er cursed softly.
Nangong Xi’er asked Su Baiyi anxiously, “What’s going on? Are you absorbing his internal energy? And now you are absorbing mine too? Are you crazy, let go!”
“I can’t let go.” Su Baiyi wiped the sweat from his forehead. “I rarely use this martial art. It seems like it won’t stop until it drains everything.”
“You will die like that.” Nangong Xi’er’s voice had a hint of crying. She had been with Su Baiyi for many days and had already figured out his martial arts level. He definitely could not withstand their internal energies. She thought that her martial arts were enough to protect Su Baiyi when she went down the mountain, but she didn’t expect him to be killed in a few days. She felt so desperate that she almost cried.
Su Baiyi always saw this senior sister as a very strong person. He saw her helpless for the first time and hurriedly comforted her, “Senior sister, don’t worry, I won’t die. We still have to go and bring master back together. I always forgot to tell you, master once got drunk and told me he had a daughter, who was like a porcelain doll. I always thought he was lying…”
Nangong Xi’er was stunned, then moved her left hand to her waist, trying to draw her sword. “I won’t let you die.”
Wuya sneered, “You still have the mood to talk nonsense when you are dying.”
“The first rule of the Book of Immortals. The pool of heaven’s water, vast and boundless. All things merge, the supreme of the world.” Su Baiyi suddenly exerted force with the hand gripping the Wuya’s shoulder. “You are right, the dantian is a pool. But mine is a heavenly pool, vast and boundless. It can contain as much as you give!”
