《The One and Only》8. Fusion of Fist and Sword
Advertisement
The claws of three Iron Claw Wolves were already worth a lot, plus Lin Yun could occupy them alone.
This fight gave Lin Yun much confidence, and he also earned a lot.
In the next few days, Lin Yun began to hunt officially.
The experience lingering between life and death strengthened his will. He gave full play to the essence of the Flowing Wind Swordplay, Gathering Water to Form Streams Flowing like Wind, in real fights.
The power it showed was overwhelming, unlike a medium swordplay at all.
In only three days, he already reaped a lot. Now his package was full.
Iron Claw Wolves' claws, Spot Tiger's fur, Sharp Bull's horns… All kinds of beast parts stuffed his package.
"I need to find a place to hide them."
With so many beast parts, it was not convenient to go on hunting.
After looking around in the woods for some time, Lin Yun chose a remote and quiet place. He hid his package on the tree, covered it with some leaves, cleaned his hands and then jumped off.
He looked up and couldn't see the package at all under the cover of the leaves.
At that moment, a thick smell of natural energy came from behind.
"A place of great feng shui?"
Lin Yun was a little surprised. He knew that a lot of places abundant in spiritual energy were called places with great feng shui.
Qingyun Sect was a place with great feng shui but was already taken up by those elders and the inner disciples.
He meant to find a place to hide his package, but accidentally found a place with great feng shui.
So he wanted to have a look.
Lin Yun walked rapidly, following the direction where the spiritual energy came from. A moment later, he felt a little weird.
He didn't notice since when it became so quiet.
In the woods, he could even hear the subtle sound of wind, but couldn't hear a sound of any insects, birds or beasts.
There was a hint of suspicion in his eyes. But still he decided to keep going.
If it was really a place of great feng shui, he could take his Pure Yang martial art to another level.
He really couldn't afford to miss such a good chance.
After about half an hour, Lin Yun stopped. That was where the spiritual energy came from.
"It's indeed a place of great feng shui. The spiritual energy is so thick, at least a few times or even much higher than that of any other places!"
He controlled his excitement and looked around this place. Except some wild weeds and fruit, he didn't find anything abnormal.
"Whatever, I'm gonna practice my Pure Yang martial art to the second level, and then get out of here."
Once making up his mind, Lin Yun came to a tree, crossed his legs and closed his eyes.
The Pure Yang martial art was revolving inside his body; meanwhile, it guided the spiritual energy to flow into his body.
The thick spiritual energy greatly improved his inner power, and constantly nourished his skins, flesh, bones and vessels.

Among the ten levels of Martial Practice, the first three levels were to mold one's skins, bones and vessels, and the middle three levels were to mold one's flesh, blood and internal organs, the latter three levels were to update one's tendons, transform the bones and change the marrow, and then one would finally reach the tenth level.
Three levels equaled a barrier. But in such a place of great feng shui, Lin Yun felt something different.
His Pure Yang martial art that needed time to practice and made progress slowly now was improving fast.
And those blocked vessels got unclogged by the strong inner power.
Also his cultivation was also improving rapidly.
He tried to stay calm and not be overjoyed. For martial cultivation, one could never be too cautious.
If one lost the control of the inner power due to carelessness, one might hurt the vessels.
In the worst case, cultivation would destroy.
Extreme joy begets sorrow. Such a tragedy might happen in a moment.
After he practiced the Pure Yang Script for several Big Circulations, the inner power flowed back, and formed a yellow cyclone at his pubic region.
Now his Pure Yang martial art reached the second level successfully.
Lin Yun stayed calm and used the spiritual energy to keep practicing the second level.
Apparently, the second level was far different from the first level.
The speed to absorb the spiritual energy in the second level doubled.
Done!
Two hours later, Lin Yun opened his eyes, with a smile on his face.
All the vessels in his body were unclogged.
Now he had broken through the barrier of the third level and came to the fourth level!
He could clearly feel the inner power flowing in his vessels several times stronger than before. And he could control it as he wanted, with no difficulties at all.
"Even in the whole Qingyun Sect, probably there isn't a place with such great feng shui. It's really my lucky day today."
He made breakthroughs both in his cultivation and martial arts. He was so happy now, which could be told through his face.
Suddenly the spiritual energy in this place began to rotate.
The thick spiritual energy from heaven and earth was concentrating, which could be been seen with one's eyes.
"This is…?"
Lin Yun was a little stunned. He saw an obscure wild fruit was trying to absorb all the spiritual energy.
Then he understood why.
No wonder this place had such thick spiritual energy. It was a place to breed divine treasures. It seemed that wild fruit was gonna advance to a psychic fruit.
Whoosh!
At the moment the wild fruit was gonna absorb all the spiritual energy, a shadow emerged.
It swallowed the wild fruit absorbing spiritual energy. He looked carefully and found it was a Saber-toothed Tiger!
Saber-toothed Tiger was a kind of beast with the strength of the fourth level, a realm higher than the Iron Claw Wolf.
When Lin Yun saw a Saber-toothed Tiger in the past, he would run away immediately.
After all they were not on the same level. If a Saber-toothed Tiger set its eyes on him, he would be dead meat.

Roar!
The Saber-toothed Tiger who just swallowed the psychic fruit raised its head and looked at Lin Yun now, with scarlet sparkles in its eyes. A cold feeling spread all over Lin Yun's body, which made him tremble subconsciously.
"Evil spirit!"
Lin Yun was startled. He thought he would be dead for sure this time.
It was a Saber-toothed Tiger which was going to evolve to an evil beast.
Unprecedented fears and regrets were hitting his mind.
He shouldn't have coveted that psychic fruit. He should have left after making a breakthrough.
Damn! He couldn't move.
Lin Yun was scared to find that, after the Saber-toothed Tiger set its eyes on him, he couldn't move his hands or legs, like they weren't part of him.
Suddenly he realized it was human body's instinctive fear in the face of danger.
With deep roar, the Saber-toothed Tiger chewing the psychic fruit was walking towards Lin Yun.
Fears spread all over his body. The cold sweat was dripping from his forehead.
There had never been a moment that Lin Yun felt so close to death. A despairing feeling spread deep in his heart.
A moment before, he was still immersed in the joy of his breakthrough, while now he only felt hopeless.
"No! I can't die here!
I can't die like this. Even if I die, I must have the Saber-toothed Tiger pay the price.
No one in the world should let others decide his own fate."
Lin Yun clenched his teeth, yelling in his heart. He had to pull out his sword and move his limbs that were not on his call.
Roar!
With the Saber-toothed Tiger approaching, it howled, and then jumped at Lin.
A giant shadow covered Lin Yun's body totally.
When death was approaching, Lin Yun accidentally found that there was no much fear in his heart. On the contrary, he became quite calm now.
At the moment he felt calmed down, his limbs that he couldn't move before could move now.
My heart shelters a fierce tiger which, however, enjoys sniffing roses.
Suddenly this idiom came into his mind, which reminded him of the tiger in that mysterious scroll.
The sword!
Without more thinking, Lin Yun pulled out his sword, trying to chop the tiger jumping at him.
Pa! The sword with his inner power got blown away by the tiger with its claw.
That was because of power difference, absolutely.
But the sword held back the Saber-toothed tiger for some time and saved Lin Yun's life.
Lin Yun rolled on the ground without hesitation, and escaped from the tiger's pounce.
Boom!
A tree which was so large that it needed two men to encircle got broken easily under the Saber-toothed Tiger's hit.
Lin Yun gasped, extremely tense now. He had no way to retreat now.
After losing the target, the Saber-toothed Tiger got irritated. It turned around and jumped at Lin Yun again.
With a glance, Lin saw his broken sword in a tree about 100 meters away, which was out of his reach for now.
Lin Yun thought, with his Tiger Fist at high achievement, he could fight against the demonized tiger.
Bang!
Lin's fist and the tiger's claw collided! Lin Yun was blown over ten meters away. He felt his blood boiling after touching the ground, and then backed three steps.
But on Lin Yun's face appeared a touch of joy.
With the inner power generated from Pure Yang Script to boost his Tiger Fist at high achievement, Lin was able to fight against the tiger to some extent.
As expected, he didn't lose at once.
With Pure Yang Script famous for cultivation of thick inner power, together with his Tiger Fist at high achievement, how could he be killed so easily?
What was more, he had reached the fourth level of Martial Practice now.
A man and a tiger were having a desperate fight.
Lin Yun, who couldn't afford to lose, outdid himself under great pressure.
The Tiger Fist of high achievement was extremely powerful, and Lin Yun gave full play to it. The tiger in that mysterious scroll kept hitting his head, which gradually made him be able to stand up to the tiger's evil spirit.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
With his body shaking, Lin Yun could feel his Tiger Fist was improving fast.
It seemed he was gonna break through the big achievement to reach the Final Perfection level.
At first he could only defend himself awkwardly. But gradually he could also attack while defending. When every punch fell on the Saber-toothed Tiger, it growled for great pains.
He was like the king of tigers. The momentum he burst out was overwhelming the Saber-toothed Tiger little by little.
Lin Yun who had gotten in the groove seized a chance and jumped ahead to exert the lethal move of his Tiger Fist.
Stepping back! Bending over! Arching his back! Tiger Roaring in Forest!
Along with the roaring sound in his throat, and the thunder-like explosive sound made by the joints of his fingers, Lin Yun threw out his punch!
Bang!
Saber-toothed Tiger's huge body was blown away by Lin Yun's heavy punch!
It was the first time Lin Yun beat back the Saber-toothed Tiger.
Tiger Dashing down from Mountain Top!
Lin Yun jumped into the air, like the king of tigers.
Enveloped in fierce wind, Lin Yun's punch fell on the Saber-tooth Tiger which just struggled to stand up again.
After this punch, Lin Yun felt like the blood in his whole body was burning.
A kind of strong power was trying to gush out of his chest.
Tiger Worshipped by All Beasts!
Without any hesitation, Lin Yun used the strongest move of his Tiger Fist with full power.
The moment he threw his punch, there were sparkles as glittering as his sword on his fist!
The Saber-toothed Tiger which was struggling to stand up showed extreme fear in its eyes on seeing Lin Yun jumped at it.
In its eyes, Lin Yun who was jumping at it was not a tiger, but a sharp sword.
His fist was like a sword, roaring in the wind and intimidating all beasts!
With lasting roar in the wind…
After the last punch, the Saber-toothed Tiger fell down and never got up again.

How will his future unfold? ------------------------- My native language is neither English nor Chinese, I am writing a Xianxia novel because I like the genre. I have tried to maintain the chinese names and the form of address but I used the measurements of the international system(meters, grams, etc..) and the hour time(no incense stick, or others). It may spoil it for some but I think it would be easier both for me and the readers. Before you read keep in mind that this is a novel with a slow progress. I don't want to give any spoiler but at least a few chapters will be dedicated to his life in the village.
