The Nine Sun God King
19. The Celestial Lion Pool

After Yang Shiyue left, Qin Yun began to practice the Fire Cloud Steps.

He closed his eyes and digested the knowledge related to the Fire Cloud Steps in his mind.

The explanation of the martial arts grandmaster and what Yang Shiyue described was extremely vague and floated in Qin Yun's mind in a complicated manner.

But strangely, as he gradually organized them, he began to become enlightened.

"So yes!" Qin Yun opened his eyes and smiled.

After which, he began to circulate his Qi according to what was described.

A while later, Qin Yun suddenly felt a stream of hot air on his body. The air flow grows hotter and more numerous.

Not long after, he felt his body become much lighter.

"To use the Fire Cloud Steps, I must quickly reach this state. Right now, I'm still too slow."

After finishing his cultivation, Qin Yun started to try it again. But it still took him about thirty seconds to let go. If he was in battle then he would not have made it in time.

"Looks like I need to practice again and again!"

Now, he was only training the Qi portion within and it was one of the inner strength martial skills.

As for the external technique, it was a beautiful foot movement technique. Only by combining it with internal techniques and displaying it together could one master that technique. Thus, one could be considered to have entered the basic stage.

Yang Shi Yue had only returned by noon. He only brought Qin Yun lunch before leaving again quickly. It is unknown what he did.

After Qin Yun finished his lunch, he continued to practice the Fire Cloud Steps and started circulating his Fire Cloud Qi.

By late afternoon, the nine suns had burned the earth.

Under the scorching sun, Qin Yun's upper body was filled with sweat.

Right now, he could release his Fire Cloud Qi within fifteen seconds and make his body become lighter but he was still not satisfied with that result.

"I should be able to release the Qi for the technique of movement within three seconds. Only when I have reached this level will it be useful in battle."

He could only constantly circulate his inner Qi and train.

The stronger the sunlight, the more spiritual energy from the nine suns. Qin Yun used the Nine Spirit Divine Bracelet to absorb a large amount of Nine Yang Energy into his body. It could quickly replenish his energy and prevent him from feeling exhausted.

If it was anyone else, they would not be able to keep up with the constant movement of their inner Qi and would not be able to replenish their inner Qi as quickly as Qin Yun.

After a difficult training, not only was Qin Yun more familiar with the inner Qi of the fire clouds, he was also more adept at controlling his inner elemental energy.

"Now, I can release the inner Qi of the fire clouds in ten seconds. I wonder at what level it is?" Qin Yun wiped his sweat and sat down to rest.

The moment he saw that the nine suns had set mysteriously and beautifully made his gaze become distant....

The power bestowed upon him by the nine suns made him more respectful of this world. At the same time, he was also filled with a strong curiosity about the outside world and an outgoing desire to explore.

"What does the Nine Sun Spirits have to do with the Nine Suns?" Qin Yun thought as he looked at the nine round red suns that had set.

Yang Shiyue returned and brought dinner which was nutritious meat from ferocious beasts, meat soup as well as various dishes made from medicinal herbs.

"Teacher, what about the Heavenly Lion Martial Meeting?" After Qin Yun washed his hands he came to the table with a smile and asked.

"Teacher, where are you going today? I haven't seen you all day." Qin Yun asked as he started eating.

“Hua Ling Wu Academy wants to move me and move you to a different class.” Yang Shiyue sighed and said, “They thought it was a waste for me to only teach one student.”

When Qin Yun heard him he could not continue to eat. He did not want to part with Yang Shiyue.

Yang Shiyue smiled at Qin Yun and said, "Don't worry. I have spoken to Dean Zhang about this today and he agreed to let me finish this semester with you. I'll leave after finishing this semester as your teacher. Therefore, I will guide you to strengthen your foundation during this semester. From now on, everything will be up to you."

Qin Yun was somewhat relieved but he felt sad. After this semester, he had to part with Yang Shi Yue!

Yang Shiyue asked: "How is your mastery with the Fire Cloud Steps? Is it hard to learn? This type of martial skill was much harder to learn than mental cultivation of inner strength."

Qin Yun was worried that his mastery could not satisfy his teacher. He said with a stutter, "I. I can only use the inner Qi of the fire clouds to make my body lighter and have yet to learn any footwork."

Yang Shiyue was surprised to hear it then she smiled: "Not bad! I'm gonna go get some rest. You can clean yourself and leave the dishes here. Oh right, is there something you don't understand with the Fire Cloud Steps ?"

"Yes!"

Qin Yun immediately asked him a few questions. After Yang Shiyue finished answering and went to her room, then she told Qin Yun to rest well. Because tomorrow, he would go with her to register and participate in the Heavenly Lion Martial Meeting.

Yang Shiyue who had instructed Qin Yun to rest well but at night she did not rest and continued to cultivate the Fire Cloud Steps.

"Fire Cloud Steps was only a high-level but extremely profound martial art. I have to learn the footwork and enter the mastery stage."

He was now weak and had few martial arts techniques. He was like no other who had a large family supporting them. Therefore, he needed to master the techniques he had already won as quickly as possible.

"The further it gets, the harder it is!" Qin Yun sighed and frowned.

What he did not know was that his mastery of the Fire Cloud Steps was extremely fast. Routing Yang Shiyue, it would take at least a month to learn the Fire Cloud Steps.

The sun is rising. The extremely gentle morning sunlight was the purest spiritual energy of the Nine suns.

When Qin Yun saw the light of the morning sun, he hurriedly closed his eyes to draw Qi into his body to prevent his body from being exhausted.

He cultivated all night and absorbed the sun's spiritual energy in an hour in the morning. He was now filled with energy and did not feel tired at all. It proved just how beneficial the nine suns spiritual energy was!

Yang Shiyue woke up once every morning. Today, she was wearing a light blue long dress. He looked elegant and refined filled with an immortal aura. She had a beautiful and mature beauty that made Qin Yun a little enchanted.

After Qin Yun finished devouring his breakfast that Yang Shiyue had prepared, they headed to the Heavenly Lion Hall!

Soon, they arrived at the Heavenly Lion Hall!

The entire main hall looked majestic and desolate. In front of the main door was a golden lion statue.

They had come too early so the main hall had not yet opened.

Yang Shi Yue looked at the golden lion statue and said: "You can participate in the Heavenly Lion Martial Competition if you are at the fourth or fifth level of the Martial Body realm but not everyone can pass the examination. If one wanted to compete in martial arts, he needed to possess a certain level of strength. Therefore, we must first pass a simple exam. "

Qin Yun saw that the Heavenly Lion Hall was extremely outstanding and felt that it must have been very important to Hua Ling Wu Academy. He asked, "Teacher, if I win first place in the Heavenly Lion Martial Competition, what reward will I receive?"

Yang Shiyue walked up to the lion statue and stared at the golden lion statue that was tens of meters tall then said: "If you win first place then it can enter the Heavenly Lion Pool to cultivate!"

"The Heavenly Lion Column was extremely hot and arrogant. It is said that it was made from the blood of a lion and mixed with special water. This is a great opportunity to increase your strength. Therefore, you should prepare yourself well to obtain first place in the initial test of the Heavenly Lion Competition Discoverer!"

Qin Yun nodded. In his heart, he was determined to get first place.
