Battle Emperor - Chapter 6

Chapter 6 Dragon Overlord Boxing

Ziyan was already more than 30 years old, but her skin was glittering and translucent (and glowing in the sunlight), pale and blemish-free. It seemed like she was just 25 or 26 years old. She was also a pharmacist of the master level and thus naturally had a particular affinity in maintaining her health (and looks). She did not look one bit over 30.

“Little man, what are you looking at? Let me see.” Ziyan said as she grabbed the scroll from his hands.

Maybe it was due to Ziyan’s speed, or his inattentiveness, but Xie Ao Yu was unable to react at all and the scroll was already in her hands.

“It’s a fighting technique.” Xie Ao Yu knew he couldn’t hide it so he just told the truth.

“Dragon Overlord Boxing?” Ziyan murmured. Surprise flashing on her captivating face. “Isn’t this the legendary Dragon Overlord Boxing, but somehow, you have it.”

Hearing the words of Ziyan, it seems that she has heard of the Dragon Overlord Boxing technique. So Xie Ao Yu asked, “Master, do you know the history of this Dragon Overlord Boxing technique?”

“I’ve more than just heard of it.” Ziyan said and handed the scroll back to Xie Ao Yu. She then unhappily said. “Oh. Right. I’ll warn you again. You can’t call me Master. Call me elder sister instead. Hmph! Even if you don’t fear calling me old, I fear you calling me old. Ok?”

“Ah, master… er… Elder sister, how about you tell me about the Dragon Overlord Boxing? I’ve read so many books that mention Dragon Overlord Boxing but none talk about its history.” Receiving the evil eye from Ziyan, Xie Ao Yu quickly corrected his words.

Ziyan let out a sigh and patted Xie Ao Yu’s head. “*Ai* I’m getting old. I can’t match you young’ins anymore.”

“Elder sister is so pretty that when people look, they think she is 10.” Xie Ao Yu complimented.

Ziyan reached out and poked Xie Ao Yu on the nose, “Well, aren’t you a sweet talker.” She then (hand)combed the bangs on her forehead and said “With regards to the Dragon Overlord Boxing technique, it really is famous and impressive. This is due to the fact that 1000 years ago, it was the unmatched fighting technique created by the absolute number one expert, Overlord Ye Chao Feng.”

*gasp*

Xie Ao Yu gasped.

He had seen Dragon Overlord Boxing in many books. They also held it in high esteem. It’s just that none of them mentioned its history. Xie Ao Yu thought that the Dragon Overlord Boxing technique’s origin would be really amazing. He just didn’t think it would be THAT amazing.

Ye Chao Feng. The number 1 expert 1000 years ago.

When people talked about this man… It wasn’t about him being the number one expert, nor him beating hundreds of clans and tribes or experts from all four corners, but about his contributions to fighting techniques.

Ye Chao Feng was a fighting technique maniac.

Of the fighting techniques seen today in the entire continent, almost 50% are related to his fighting techniques or were created by him.

It is said he had an innate love for researching and studying techniques, as well as creating them too. In his lifetime he had created somewhere between 8000 and 10000 techniques. Half of which people believe are top-level fighting techniques. And from these techniques, countless other techniques are produced.

“Dragon Overlord Boxing was Ye Chao Feng’s creation during his final years. I can assume you understand what that means. Dragon Overlord Boxing is one of his finest works.” Ziyan said reverently. “The Dragon Overlord Boxing technique was uncovered 10 years ago in the Hengduan mountain range. It is said even Emperor level experts rushed over to obtain it, but in the end there was no trace of it. No one knew if it was already snatched away or destroyed.” Her eyes swept across the scroll in Xie Ao Yu’s hand. “I never thought it would unexpectedly be obtained by your father. I presume that your father, for the sake of expanding the Xie family, once practiced and specialized in the art of theivery, specializing in collecting fighting techniques. He most probably utilized his skills to obtain it.”

“How did you know?” said a surprised Xie Ao Yu.

The pickpocket skill was Xie Qian’s secret. Even the current clan head, Xie Lian, did not know about it. Only his son, Xie Ao Yu knew… and that was because they didn’t want to cause any problems for the Xie clan.

Ziyan smiled faintly but didn’t answer the question. Instead she replied, “Why do you think I have, for the past 3 years, continuously treated your father?”

“Hehe, I always thought it was because my old man was too charming.” Xie Ao Yu said smirking.

“Your head is too big.” Ziyan grumpily smacked Xie Ao Yu’s head. “Arrogant boy. It was because your father is my saviour. At that time, I was trapped in a surprise attack and the most critical moment… Your father saved me. Originally, he had discovered that those who attacked me had a high level fighting technique and wanted to steal it. In the end, he also saved me.”

Xie Ao Yu said, “It was probably because elder sister Ziyan is too pretty so they decided to attack you.” She glanced at her body. Her chests were two large mountain peaks, her waist was irresistably slender, her ass was plump and well-developed, and her beautiful legs were long and slender. “This body, is something men can’t bear to leave alone… and its a pretty common occurrence.

“What about you?” Ziyan gave him a seductive wink with her beautiful eyes.

Although it was just a wink, this movement already had set Xie Ao Yu’s heart ablaze. It unexpectedly produced an intense reaction.

“Ahh… umm… about that… didn’t elder sister still have to give my old man a check-up?” Xie Ao Yu hurriedly changed the topic.

Ziyan glanced at the area between Xie Ao Yu’s two legs. Chuckling, she said, “It looks like the little man grew up.”

These words embarrassed Xie Ao Yu even more. But the look in her beautiful eyes cleared up and the words held no other ulterior meaning. This relieved him and at the same time gave him a sense of loss.

Ziyan started to check Xie Qian’s body. She said, “Although Dragon Overlord Boxing is just a fighting technique; it is one developed by Ye Chao Feng at his peak. Learning this technique won’t be a simple matter. You better not expect instant results. You should also not tell anyone else about it at all, otherwise, I fear that the Xie family would meet its destruction.

“*Mhmm* I know.” Xie Ao Yu said.

After she finished her inspection, Ziyan smiled and said, “Your father’s body shows no change. I will leave you this medicine, remember to apply it like normal. Everyday spread the ointment above the dantian. This will preserve his qi and prevent it from disappearing.

“Thank you elder sister.” Said Xie Ao Yu as he received the medicine.

In actuality, there is nothing wrong at all with Xie Qian’s body except for the coma. Instead his battle qi shows signs of dissipating. Ziyan spent these past years continuously medicating Xie Qian in order to preserve his qi. She also has been conducting research in order to cure him.

“Hehe, No need to be respectful like this with elder sister. Just saying elder sister is payment enough.” Ziyan smiled while rubbing the top of Xie Ao Yu’s head as she turned around and left.

After seeing Ziyan off, Xie Ao Yu started studying the Dragon Overlord Boxing technique. This time he was far more careful. He shut the door so that people can’t easily enter.

Even though Xie Ao Yu had never before studied any fighting technique, he still understood quite a bit about them. He discovered from his careful research just now that even though the Dragon Overlord Boxing technique looks like a single fighting technique, in actuality, it consisted of many. It was a fusion of over 10 powerful techniques. Training in it would definitely be very hard.

Furthermore, in order to train in Dragon Overlord Boxing, one had to be in the lower advanced level.

To the newly Qi-endowed Xie Ao Yu, this could be said to be very far away. Battle Qi could be ranked as: Elementary level , Intermediate level , Advanced level, Spirit level, Ascension level, Cloud level, Tuifan level, Earth level, Rainbow level, Sage level and Emperor level. Each of these levels can then be subdivided into their lower, mid and upper levels.
[TL: any advice on these? 初级、中级、高级、灵级、腾级、云级、蜕凡级、大地级、彩虹级、至圣级、天王级]

Xie Ao Yu hasn’t even reached a cultivation level of lower Elementary.

But with regards to the Qi cultivation, he was 100% confident.

Having seen Dragon Overlord Boxing, Xie Ao Yu who was originally planning to rest, once again was full of energy. He stood up and said, “Xiao Bai, let’s go and continue to train!”

With that, he left the room. In the corner of the room there was a human-shaped shadow, from which Ziyan’s body appeared from.

She looked at Xie Ao Yu and mumbled to herself, “This little boy can now somehow produce Qi. He almost hid it from me. Strange… Even I couldn’t solve his body’s problem. Who helped him?” Soon after she shook her head, “Well whatever. I still have to prepare for my fight with the Butterfly Queen, You Lan Ruo.”
