Chapter 0057: Ten Thousand Horses Shaking the Mountain

After handing two booklets to Qin Yun, Yang Shiyue continued, "This is the Mountain-Shaking Technique. By learning the techniques inside, you can strengthen your internal energy and power. If the practitioner is strong enough, they can shake even a massive mountain."

"This is the Ten Thousand Horses Palm. It's said that when mastered, combined with the ninth level of martial body cultivation, it possesses the strength of ten thousand horses, with a momentum like a galloping herd. It's also one of the more famous advanced martial arts."

For Qin Yun, mastering such advanced martial techniques was relatively easy, making them perfect for him to learn now.

With his understanding of martial arts, he could reach the initial mastery level within a month!

The Profound Sun Art, an advanced technique, had already been perfected by him.

Yang Shiyue suddenly realized that she hadn't taught Qin Yun in two months and immediately switched into her teacher mode, her beautiful face becoming serious as she said, "Start learning now!"

Qin Yun nodded and listened attentively as Yang Shiyue explained, just as he always did.

Three hours later, Qin Yun had already reached the entry level.

Yang Shiyue was only slightly surprised; she had grown accustomed to Qin Yun's extraordinary talent.

Once the ceasefire period ended, anyone could challenge him at any time, so Qin Yun immediately headed to the Hidden Dragon Martial Arena.

...

Upon arriving at the arena, Qin Yun began challenging others to improve his ranking and test his newly learned techniques.

Yang Shiyue also arrived at the Hidden Dragon Martial Arena, wearing a robe and a mask to conceal her identity.

Many people in the arena also concealed their identities, so her appearance did not seem unusual.

Duan Qian had just learned that Qin Yun was anonymously participating in the Hidden Dragon Martial Arts Association. Yang Shiyue had informed him to help hide Qin Yun's identity at critical moments.

Qin Yun's opponent was a middle-aged man in his forties with a square face, at the sixth level of martial body cultivation. He was well-dressed, clearly wealthy.

At the start, the square-faced man used excellent lightness skills, his toes touching the ground like a skimming dragonfly, leaping above Qin Yun and raising his thigh to strike down like an axe!

His powerful thigh, resembling a mountain-splitting axe, cleaved through the air with a whooshing sound.

This fluid attack drew applause from many spectators.

Qin Yun quickly moved away, stepping several meters from his original position.

The square-faced man anticipated his movement and changed his posture mid-air, like a fish leaping, chasing after Qin Yun. His thigh struck down again, like an axe chopping a tree, with terrifying force.

"Ten Thousand Horses Palm!"

Qin Yun raised his palm, meeting the descending thigh with a gust of wind, sounding like a galloping horse.

Bang!

The two forces collided, creating a dull wave of air.

The confident square-faced man was caught off guard, tumbling comically off the stage.

"Tulou wins!" the referee announced.

A formidable sixth-level martial body cultivator had lost to the anonymous fighter known as "Tulou"!

This caused another stir.

Those ranked lower were now paying close attention to Qin Yun.

Although Qin Yun won, he felt unsatisfied and continued challenging those ranked ten places higher than him.

He didn't challenge those too far ahead, as he needed practice to refine his techniques, allowing him to face more opponents.

Thus, he fought over a dozen matches without losing.

People began recognizing his technique and started discussing it.

From their conversations, Qin Yun learned that the Ten Thousand Horses Palm was a difficult advanced technique to master. It was available for purchase for around 200,000 to 300,000 coins, which wasn't too expensive for some small families, but its difficulty deterred many from buying it.

Qin Yun only used the Ten Thousand Horses Palm, intending to use the Mountain-Shaking Technique, but lacked the right opportunity, as it was primarily for countering strong defenses.

After winning twenty consecutive matches, he ranked 800th.

After being challenged, he finally received three hours of rest.

During this break, he hurried back to his suite at Runes Hall to continue practicing his techniques.

In the spacious training room of his suite, he sparred with Yang Shiyue, improving his control over his internal energy.

Yang Shiyue said, "You need to quickly break into the top hundred. The practitioners in this range are generally stronger."

After sparring with Qin Yun for two hours, she gave him one hour to rest.

...

Over the next few days, Qin Yun continuously challenged others, winning every match, finally reaching 101st place.

Now, he was about to challenge the 100th-ranked fighter!

It had been many days since anyone broke into the top hundred.

So, when Qin Yun challenged the hundredth rank of the Hidden Dragon Rankings, it immediately drew the attention of many people!

In the second level of the Hidden Dragon Martial Arena, there were numerous luxurious suites that only the extremely wealthy could afford. From these rooms, one could also see the matches below.

The top ten ranked individuals mostly resided in the Heavenly Suites on the second level.

"A bit interesting. A guy at the fifth level of Martial Body actually managed to climb from the bottom to the hundredth rank in just a few days," said a burly young man with stubble on his face, his voice rough and thunderous.

He was Ye Chenlei, ranked fourth.

"Could this guy be Qin Yun?" a woman in a red dress sneered. She was the princess of the Tian Qi Empire, named Qi Xue, ranked seventh on the Hidden Dragon Rankings.

Xiao Lang scoffed, "Qin Yun is best known for Fire Cloud Steps and Flame Light Fist, but he hasn't used either. Of course, even if Qin Yun were here, he wouldn't stand a chance against us... If Yan Qingyu had fought seriously with Qin Yun, he wouldn't have ended up like this."

Qi Xue looked at a handsome young man drinking wine and giggled, "Qin Feng, aren't you interested in this match? It's quite popular!"

Qin Feng glanced at Qi Xue indifferently, looking somewhat proud, "There's nothing worth watching... You're only ranked seventh now. When will you reach fifth? The sixth rank is held by Qi Meilian, your princess from Tian Qi, and the fifth is Mont Feling. You're not inferior to these two women, are you?"

"That bitch Qi Meilian... Once I'm back in top form, I'll definitely knock her down and make her lose terribly!"

Qi Xue gritted her teeth, "As for Meng Feiling, she's a bit more challenging. During the Heroes Meeting, I almost lost to her."

Qin Feng continued drinking, then looked at Xiao Lang and asked, "Have you talked to Yuemei yet? With her personality, she's definitely going for first place."

On the Hidden Dragon Rankings, Xiao Lang was ranked first, and Xiao Yuemei was second.

Xiao Lang sighed helplessly, muttered a few curses, and bitterly smiled, "This girl is really a headache. Although she's not as cold as her sister, she has the same bad temper. If she challenges me, fighting or not fighting is equally troublesome."

If those ranked in the top ten were to fight, it would definitely cause a stir and draw significant attention, especially a match between the first and second ranks!

A loud explosion suddenly echoed outside the window, followed by exclamations.

"It's Mountain Shaking Style!" Ye Chenlei exclaimed, looking down at the arena.

The person facing Qin Yun was a middle-aged giant over two meters tall, at the sixth level of Martial Body, practicing Iron Cloth Shirt, which made his body extremely sturdy.
