Chapter 0045: Inner Essence Breath

Qin Yun's physical strength astonished the group of old ministers, who were also quite envious.

If he could really endure this half-hour, the old ministers' plan would fail!

"This is the result of soaking in the Heavenly Lion Pool for ten days? The ten days of torment he endured in the Heavenly Lion Pool are what allow him to endure now!" Ding Tianchun whispered.

His words sent chills down many people's spines.

Everyone knew that Yan Qingyu, who was brutally beating Qin Yun on the stage, had also entered the Heavenly Lion Pool but only lasted one day before crawling out, nearly dead!

Yet, according to rumors, Qin Yun walked out with Yang Shiyue as if nothing had happened!

Yan Qingyu had originally thought he could quickly force Qin Yun into submission. He believed that even if Qin Yun hadn't practiced demonic arts, he would admit it due to the unbearable torture.

But the current Qin Yun showed no signs of surrender, his face resolute as he gritted his teeth and endured all kinds of pain!

Most frighteningly, every time he was beaten like a pile of mud, he managed to stand up again. This indomitable will inspired many!

"Never give up!" Qin Yun roared inwardly as he struggled to his feet.

Yan Qingyu was furious. He glanced at Duke Yan below the martial platform and saw Duke Yan nodding at him.

This scene made Yang Shiyue tense up instantly, and so did Ding Tianchun and President Zhang! They decided that no matter what, they could not let Qin Yun be destroyed here!

With Duke Yan's approval, Yan Qingyu could now use even stronger methods to attack Qin Yun!

By then, most of the sand had already run through the hourglass!

After Qin Yun stood up, Yan Qingyu shouted and released sword energy, which condensed into a short sword!

"Inner Essence!" someone cried out, and the crowd erupted in exclamations.

That short sword formed from mist was Inner Essence!

Powerful Inner Essence could penetrate steel, split iron, and shatter hills!

Inner Essence was a formidable form of power usable only by those who had reached the sixth level of Martial Body and cultivated the three major meridians!

The short sword of Inner Essence struck Qin Yun's abdomen!

"Ahh!" Qin Yun screamed, flying backward and collapsing onto the ground, his body convulsing!

Yang Shiyue was about to rush over but stopped when she saw a glint of intelligence in Qin Yun's pain-wracked eyes!

When the short sword of Inner Essence hit Qin Yun's dantian, the Inner Essence did not dissipate but instead merged into the oscillating inner essence!

The oscillating inner essence absorbed this Inner Essence and began to oscillate violently!

Qin Yun thought the oscillating inner essence would disperse, but unexpectedly, the short sword of Inner Essence was absorbed and spread throughout his body, seeping into his bones.

Now, he felt as if every part of his body was being torn apart.

After being torn apart, the two inner essences immediately released Nine Yang Inner Qi, rapidly healing his injuries!

The process was excruciating, but Qin Yun was incredibly excited!

For he saw the two inner essences in his dantian spinning rapidly, growing and shrinking, contracting and then suddenly expanding, almost as if breathing!

"Inner Essence Breath!"

Qin Yun was thrilled. Only when one perfected their inner cultivation technique would such a phenomenon occur.

With more advanced techniques, Inner Essence Breath could be achieved upon reaching mastery.

Inner Essence Breath allowed the inner essence to breathe; with each inhalation and exhalation, the inner essence spun rapidly, enhancing its ability to release or absorb spiritual energy.

It was said that some people couldn't achieve Inner Essence Breath even at the eighth or ninth level of Martial Body, yet Qin Yun had done it!

Yan Qingyu approached Qin Yun and sneered, "You won't be able to get up this time, right?"

He stepped on Qin Yun's back.

Indeed, Qin Yun did not rise again, primarily because the oscillating inner essence was continuously sending waves of Inner Essence throughout his body, refining his flesh and bones—a critical step in forging the Bone Meridian!

"Admit it, did you practice demonic arts?" Yan Qingyu demanded coldly.

Yang Shiyue suddenly shouted, "If Qin Yun dies, and you can't prove he practiced demonic arts, I, Yang Shiyue, will risk my life to make you pay in blood!"

Her icy voice, accompanied by a bone-chilling killing intent, enveloped the entire Martial Arts Field!

Everyone involuntarily shivered!

"Our Hualing Martial Arts Academy will never allow a student to be forced to death. Now that I have entered the Martial Realm, I will do everything in my power to ensure that whoever harms a student does not leave alive!"

President Zhang's calm voice echoed, sending another shockwave through everyone!

What kind of strength was the Martial Realm? No one present knew, but they understood it was terrifying!

If Qin Yun died without any concrete proof of practicing demonic arts, Duke Yan and others would face significant pressure, especially from Yang Shiyue and President Zhang!

Especially Yang Shiyue, who had the ninth level of Martial Body cultivation. If she fought desperately, it would be very frightening.

Moreover, she was a student from the Heavenly Profound Martial Academy.

Yan Qingyu was also under considerable pressure.

Initially, his elders had told him that Qin Yun would either be forced to use demonic arts or admit to practicing them!

But the current Qin Yun is so unbending, refusing to use demonic arts and not admitting to anything!

Yan Qingyu cannot kill Qin Yun; otherwise, he and those elders would not be able to escape!

If half an hour passes without proving that Qin Yun practiced demonic arts, Duke Yan and the other old ministers will have to kneel and apologize to Qin Yun!

Yan Qingyu gritted his teeth and released another surge of inner strength!

The short-sword-like inner strength pierced into Qin Yun's body from his back.

Just like before, the inner strength was absorbed by his oscillating inner essence and then released throughout his entire body, tempering his tendons and bones!

Qin Yun was well aware of the situation; Yan Qingyu dare not kill him, or else half the people here would have to die with him!

Even Master Wei might find it hard to escape unscathed!

Yang Shiyue and Dean Zhang's fierce killing intent enveloped the Martial Arts Field.

It seemed that if Qin Yun were to die, they would slaughter everyone here until the ground ran red with blood!

This oppressive atmosphere made many people struggle to breathe.

In the darkness, the stars and moon were obscured by thick clouds, making it even darker.

In the Martial Arts Field of Hualing Martial Arts Academy, no one was eating or drinking; their spines were drenched in cold sweat as they watched the sand in the hourglass!

On the martial stage, Yan Qingyu occasionally struck Qin Yun with inner strength.

But Qin Yun refused to admit to practicing demonic arts, did not retaliate using demonic arts, and did not pass out; he just endured the pain!

Half an hour was about to pass. If Qin Yun could endure it, Duke Yan and those old ministers would have to kneel and apologize to him in front of thousands of people!

Duke Yan and those corrupt ministers, though cunning and shrewd, did not anticipate Qin Yun's unwavering willpower, something they lacked and thus overlooked.

In the past, anyone who fell into their hands, no matter how stubborn, would eventually confess under severe torture. But now, this tactic was ineffective.

Qin Yun's five years of arduous cultivation had honed the willpower and strong conviction that were most lacking among the nobility!

His oscillating inner essence was breathing, continuously releasing inner strength throughout his body... Unconsciously, it formed faint golden threads, as if connecting all his bones.

"Is this the Bone Scripture?" Lying on the ground, Qin Yun felt it with his mental power and was filled with excitement.
