Cold Bo Stone looked at Ye Tian and Cold Yang, laughingly scolding, "What are you two little brats laughing about?"
The two quickly suppressed their smiles and repeatedly said, "Nothing, nothing."
"If you dare to laugh again, I'll tear your mouths apart!" Cold Bo Stone pretended to be fierce, trying to scare them.
"Uncle Leng, should we practice the previous content?" Wu Xiaozhuang asked. Clearly, he did not want to waste time on laughter.
"Well, what else do you want to practice? Are we going to practice the Bagua Xuan Yuan Shield? When that Xuan Yuan Shield is unleashed, it looks like a turtle all over. We’re not practicing that. Hahaha!" Cold Bo Stone had a childlike personality and loved to bicker for fun.
The others could only helplessly roll their eyes at him.
Since no one responded to Cold Bo Stone's banter, he soon lost interest after a few chuckles and walked to the center of a stone slab.
Ye Tian noticed his posture seemed like he was about to unleash something on the slab, so he stepped forward slightly, hoping to see better.
In Ye Tian's gaze, Cold Bo Stone began to gather energy and jump repeatedly. After several rounds of this, he suddenly smiled at Ye Tian and said, "Come over here; you’ve definitely never seen this magical thing."
Cold Yang and Wu Xiaozhuang exchanged eye rolls again, while Ye Tian approached with a puzzled expression, following where Cold Bo Stone was pointing.
What Cold Bo Stone was indicating was a pattern in the center of the stone slab. Ye Tian examined it closely several times but found nothing particularly strange about it. He could only look expectantly at Cold Bo Stone, hoping to get an explanation from him.
Seeing this, Cold Bo Stone immediately showed a proud expression and laughed heartily, "Watch closely!"
With that, Martial Origin Power surged into his palm and then slowly pressed down onto the pattern.
Ye Tian focused intently, eagerly anticipating the former's great ability.
"Uncle, can you hurry up? Stop being so mysterious," Cold Yang finally couldn't hold back and urged.
Cold Bo Stone, hearing this, spat out a thick phlegm and scoffed at him before suddenly slamming his palm onto the pattern.
"Clang, clang."
As the clanging sound echoed, the pattern gradually sank down, and to Ye Tianjing's astonishment, three objects slowly rose up.
"How about that? Amazing, right? This is a mechanism crafted at great expense by our Cold Family!" Cold Bo Stone patted Ye Tian on the head and said proudly.
As the objects gradually rose, Ye Tian understood that they were three Wooden Dummies hidden within the boulder. However, these Wooden Dummies were clearly more refined than the one in his courtyard. Each had a pivot point at the top, middle, and bottom, designed to rotate upon impact to train the speed and reaction abilities of practitioners.
"It is indeed quite remarkable, but it doesn't seem as impressive as you claimed..." Ye Tian thought helplessly. "This is just a mechanism activated by Yuan Power, yet Uncle Leng speaks of it so mysteriously; it's a bit tantalizing."
Seeing that Ye Tian did not express the expected excitement, Cold Bo Stone immediately became angry. "What do you know! The materials used to make this Wooden Dummy are extremely precious Earth Level One Dragon Stream Wood. Its hardness is such that even a Ninth-Dan Martial Artist's full strike might not shatter it. For you kids to use it for training is simply wasting a heavenly treasure! And you still don't appreciate it..."
"Alright, alright, I was wrong. Uncle Leng, please start quickly," Ye Tian quickly interrupted as he noticed Cold Bo Stone was about to say more.
"I'll go first." As soon as Ye Tian finished speaking, Wu Xiaozhuang stepped forward and began to change his hand seals rapidly, clearly initiating the Bagua Seal Palm.
At this moment, Cold Bo Stone also put away his joking demeanor and focused his gaze on Wu Xiaozhuang. A look of approval gradually appeared on his face as he thought to himself: "This Wu Xiaozhuang is indeed a good seedling. Just a month ago he had only mastered a few Seal Techniques; I didn't expect him to be able to change them slowly now. Although there are slight awkwardness during the transformation of the Seal Techniques, there are no stutters. I believe he will be able to master this Bagua Seal Palm in about three years."
Wu Xiaozhuang placed a mark on the Wooden Dummy, but he stopped there. With his current skills, he could only leave one mark; beyond that, the transitions became a bit awkward.
"Break!"
Wu Xiaozhuang called out lightly, then fixed his gaze on the Wooden Dummy made of Dragon Stream Wood.
'Pa'
A very faint sound echoed, and Wu Xiaozhuang stepped back in disappointment. Although he knew it was impossible to leave a mark on the Wooden Dummy, he still felt a bit disheartened.
"Don't be discouraged, kid. Your speed is already impressive," Cold Bo Stone said, patting Wu Xiaozhuang on the shoulder for comfort. He then turned his attention to Cold Yang and said, "Little Cold Yang, do you remember what you bragged about a few days ago?"
"Hehe, I said I could leave a mark on this Dragon Stream Wood," Cold Yang replied confidently, continuing, "But this isn't just bragging."
Cold Bo Stone smacked his lips a few times and then turned to Ye Tian and Wu Xiaozhuang, saying, "Did you see that? He looks completely lost."
"I don't believe it. The hardness of this Dragon Stream Wood should make it impossible for a Seven-Section Warrior like you to cause any damage, even a small mark," Wu Xiaozhuang interjected, questioning Cold Yang.
Cold Yang wasn't angry upon hearing this; instead, he smiled lightly and said, "Little Wu, just being a Seven-Section Warrior isn't enough. What if I add the Nine Seals' Bagua Seal Palm?"
At this remark, Cold Bo Stone gasped in surprise while Wu Xiaozhuang's expression fluctuated. Their reactions stemmed from the fact that a month ago, Wu Xiaozhuang had practiced the Bagua Seal Palm alongside Cold Yang. Now that Wu Xiaozhuang had successfully formed one seal, it was already quite impressive; he didn't expect Cold Yang to claim he could achieve Nine Seals!
"Can you really do Nine Seals?" Cold Bo Stone asked incredulously.
"I can really do it; I just need to try several times. The success rate isn't very high," Cold Yang replied.
"I still don't believe it!" Wu Xiaozhuang questioned Cold Yang again. In his heart, the only person from the Cold Family he acknowledged was Cold Yang. One was the first among the younger generation of the Cold Family, while the other was the foremost disciple of the Cold Family Guardian. Yet, within the same family, can two tigers coexist? Thus, he constantly competed with Cold Yang in secret. Whatever martial arts Cold Yang practiced, he would practice as well. Over the past year, while Cold Yang had mastered three sets of martial arts, Wu Xiaozhuang was not far behind. However, now this fourth set of martial arts, Bagua Seal Palm, had become a dividing line between the two, making it hard for Wu Xiaozhuang to accept.
"Hehe, little Wu, I told you the success rate is very low." Cold Yang knew Wu Xiaozhuang's thoughts but as the eldest son of the Cold Family, how could he lower himself to the level of a guard's disciple?
"Stop talking and just give it a try!" Cold Bo Stone urged impatiently.
"Alright!" Cold Yang replied and then walked slowly to the Wooden Dummy, saying clearly, "Then I will show my clumsiness."
Although he said this, he was brimming with confidence, while Wu Xiaozhuang silently scoffed in his heart.
Cold Yang closed his eyes and concentrated for a moment before his fingers began to change continuously. First, dozens of finger gestures were used to initiate Bagua Seal Palm, then he pointed at the Wooden Dummy. With each point, his fingers continued to transform into Seal Technique. This cycle continued.
"First seal, second seal, third seal..."
Cold Bo Stone's eyes widened as he counted one by one, afraid of missing the moment when Nine Seals would be completed.
Now it was already the eighth seal, and Cold Yang's Seal Technique began to show signs of slowing down. Clearly, for him at this moment, completing Nine Seals was still quite challenging.
"Come on, little Yang!" Cold Bo Stone urged from the side, his face scrunched up in worry, looking even more anxious than Cold Yang.
"Ha..."
After taking a light breath, Cold Yang finally completed the Nine Seals' Seal Technique after the fourth breath and gently placed the ninth seal on top of the Wooden Dummy.
"Almost there." Cold Yang sighed in relief because if he couldn't complete the transformation of Seal Technique within five breaths, it would be considered a failure.
"Ah! Good job, kid!" Cold Bo Stone exclaimed excitedly, giving a heavy pat on Cold Yang's head.
"Ah! Uncle, are you crazy?" Cold Yang complained, feeling the sting from the hit.
Cold Bo Stone glanced apologetically at Cold Yang and said, "You little rascal, I'm just happy for you. To achieve the Nine Seals in just a month, you truly deserve the title of the best among the younger generation of the Cold Family! I think there's no need to break through; with the strength of a Seven-Section Warrior combined with the Nine Seal Eight Trigrams Palm, you can definitely leave your mark above Dragon Stream Wood."
Cold Bo Stone's reaction caused Wu Xiaozhuang's face to darken rapidly. Compared to his earlier seal, the mention of Nine Seals was indeed too glaring.
Ye Tian was also smiling as he watched Cold Bo Stone's ecstatic demeanor, but inside he was feeling anxious: "If I get to make a seal later, how many should I do..."
With Ye Tian's mastery of Bagua Seal Palm, completing the Nine Seals within four breaths would be a piece of cake. However, it was only the second day of his training with Bagua Seal Palm. If he actually performed it, Cold Bo Stone would probably be shocked beyond belief.
"Hey, kid, how many finger techniques have you remembered?"
Just as Ye Tian was lost in thought, Cold Bo Stone's voice came through.
Ye Tian shook his head because he still needed to figure out how to handle it. His competitive spirit was quite strong; if he undersold himself too much, it would be hard to accept. But if he overperformed, that wouldn't be good either.
Thinking this over, Ye Tian decided to take a middle ground and said, "I can manage Five Seals."
"Oh, don't be discouraged; take your time. Besides, I've already told you that Bagua Seal Palm is difficult to practice, yet you remain stubborn," Cold Bo Stone replied without much thought.
"Uncle, what he means is that he can do... Five Seals!" Cold Yang stared intently at Ye Tian, disbelief evident in his eyes.
"I said it's okay; even if it's just..." Cold Bo Stone started but suddenly stopped and then shouted wildly, "How many seals? You said how many?!!"
Ye Tian regretted it deeply at this moment, wishing he had said something different when the seal was completed.
"Uh... I meant Five Seals..." Ye Tian said cautiously, his eyes fixed on Cold Bo Stone, fearing he might act as he did with Cold Yang and suddenly attack.
However, this time Cold Bo Stone suddenly calmed down and said to Ye Tian: "Impossible, you’ve only practiced for two days and can achieve Five Seals? Nonsense. Alright, stop messing around. If you have any questions or don’t understand something, just ask Cold Yang. He can help you."
Wu Xiaozhuang also looked indifferent, clearly not believing what Ye Tian said. Among the three, only Cold Yang maintained a fiery gaze, staring at Ye Tian and slowly saying: "I believe! He can definitely do it!"
Ye Tian glanced at Cold Yang in confusion, not understanding why he always seemed to hold him in such high regard.
"Well then, let’s see if you can do it. Just don’t fail to even make the seal!" Cold Bo Stone wasn’t the type to look down on others; it was just hard for him to accept that someone could reach the level of Five Seals in just two days, so his demeanor was somewhat dismissive.
"Oh."
Ye Tian nodded and then began the sealing process without a second thought.
