Battle Emperor - Chapter 7

Chapter 7 A Year of Intense Training

After learning about the history of the Dragon Overlord Boxing technique, it wasn’t hard for Xie Ao Yu to imagine how much blood and sweat his father had expended to obtain it. It could be even said he braved the jaws of death for the Dragon Overlord Boxing technique.

Due to this love, Xie Ao Yu trained even more crazily.

It seemed as if he didn’t know what exhaustion was.

There was only one thing in his mind. That was… to train!

Whether it was for his father, or for himself, he couldn’t give up. Even when it was most difficult, he still persevered, never giving up. Every predicament he came across, he faced bravely and fiercely.

Strictly practicing like this, in a flash, a year has already passed.

During that year, Xie Ao Yu trained all day long. Ziyan and Bing Wu were among those who came to visit, however, regarding the specifics of his training, he told no one.

And with Bing Wu wanting to become the 2nd Butterfly Queen, she was also training hard.
[TL: I’m now not sure if You Lan Ruo is a name or part of the title]

So the two didn’t often get an opportunity to see each other.

Today, the sun was burning high up in the sky.

A unyeilding Xie Ao Yu stood inside the rapids. Regardless of how violent the rapids were his body stood firm. Both his arms were raised ahead of him in horse stance.
[TL: it actually said 双手平伸，做出向前推举的姿势, which is something about being elected or chosen… as a posture… which is kinda confusing]

It looked like he was trying to stop the rapids.

At this moment, the Qi inside Xie Ao Yu’s body started collecting from every part of his body including all four limbs. It slowly gathered into his dantian following a regular path. Cycle after cycle, his body gradually built up an incredible amount of energy.

Afterwards, all that qi he stored started violently gushing out. Watching the water of the rapids, one would notice it was slowly separating. It actually stopped pounding on his body. The flow of water actually split to avoid his body. The water flowed to his left and right side forming an empty space around him about half a meter deep.

Xie Ao Yu mustered the battle qi with everything he had.

All the battle qi returned to his dantian and one could see, inside his dantian the qi started to rotate. Its rotation speed kept speeding up and becoming more and more intense. Following the rotation of the qi in his dantian, the surrounding waters also started to rotate. It started to form a whirlpool. This whirlpool also kept growing and getting faster and faster.

This was a display of Xie Ao Yu’s qi about to breakthrough into the lower Advanced level.

During a year of hard training, relying on extremely difficult training and his innate talent, from his qi’s emergence to now, He was able to reach the peak upper Intermediate level.

If the members of the Xie family discovered that, they would be extremely surprised.

The Xie family was the only influential family in Langye City. Nearly 30% of the experts in Langye City are from the Xie family and the clan’s cultivation speed record was held by Xie Qian.

In a year, he was able to reach the lower Intermediate level.

The record held by the 2nd place person was middle Beginner level in a year. The vast majority need a year or two to breakthrough a level. Xie Ao Yu on the other hand, is about to breakthrough into the lower Advanced level in a year. Beating Xie Qian’s record many times over.

In order for Xie Ao Yu to breakthrough to the lower Advanced level, his qi started to rotate with insane speed forming a huge whirlpool. The qi whirlpool quickly spread out and reached the border of the surrounding water in the waterfall.

Not long after, the whirlpool reached the river bank.

Inside Xie Ao Yu’s body a sudden thundering sound occurred. His qi fluctuated violently. The amount kept increasing, until it reached double his original.

*Boom!*

At the same time he reached the lower Advanced rank, there was a sound of a large explosion as all surrounding waters exploded upwards forming a large hollow tube with Xie Ao Yu standing in the middle.

By the time the water all crashed down, a drenched Xiao Bai emerged by the river bank.

*Yiya Yiya…* Xiao Bai called out making threatening gestures.

All the fur on his body was dripping wet and sticking to his sides. His appearance without a doubt was amusing.

Xie Ao Yu walked out of the pool with a large smile on his face. He happily brought out a scroll, “I’ve finally reached the lower Advanced level and can finally train in the Dragon Overlord Boxing technique.

During the previous year, aside from training, Xie Ao Yu also studied the Dragon Overlord Boxing technique while eating. He knew the technique was extremely complicated so prior to training in it, he already started studying.

As a result of his study, Xie Ao Yu discovered that even though this Dragon Overlord Boxing looks like a single fighting technique, It was actually a fusion of the potency of lightning, the explosiveness of fire, the pliability of water, the simplicity of earth and the speed of wind. One could say the advantages of each were completely fused together and the advantages of each element’s top grade techniques all formed the technique.

It can be said to be a single fighting technique, not over 10 fighting styles of 5 elements.
[TL:This is beyond confusing 说是一种斗技，不若说是五种属性的十几种斗技的好。]

However in order to use it, one requires a sufficient amount of qi. The minimum amount needed to train is lower Advanced level. If one were to trade with it lower than that, they would only injure themselves.

He looked at the Dragon Overlord Boxing scroll again.

Xie Ao Yu then put the scroll away and took a step back. He took a stance which was based on what the scroll described.

His qi rushed to both his arms as he interlocked his arms. He moved(brandished) his arms and body at the same time as based on the scroll.

Once putting the Dragon Overlord Boxing technique into practice, it was like king of the dinosaurs – the T-Rex, With vigorous blows, and unmatched power, it gave out a opressive feeling.
[TL: the [*] part is 龙中王者霸王龙般… which means something like

Due to the movement of his arms, the pebbles and stones by the river bank flew about with his movements. They *whizzed* along as they rose and fell. Or made *Bang Bang* sounds as they hit the nearby rocks or trees.

Xie Ao Yu occasionally jumped, or occasionally rotated his arms. They rose and fell, as if fluttering in the wind. His body was indistinct appearing as if it could knock down a small hill like a t-rex.
[TL: He is also in the air at this point I think. 霸王龙 is t-rex?]

As his fists shot forward, there were explosions.

Xie Ao Yu felt proud that he had an acceptable mastery of Dragon Overlord Boxing. He roared and suddenly shot down from the sky, his fist aimed at the earth.

*Bang!*

His fist slammed down and the earth emitted a loud cry.

With his fist as the focal point, a crater spread out.

*Roar*

Dragon Overlord Boxing training by Xie Ao Yu in the Hou mountain caused quite a disturbance. It also lured a mountain beast. This mountain beast was a Manli Bull beast. It is an Advanced lower level beast.
[TL: 蛮力魔牛… the characters sound out as Manli…. but yeah…]

Not only did the Manli Bull have incredible strength, it could also use Earth elemental magic.

As a lower Advanced level beast, it belonged to the inner circle of powerful monsters.

The originally sleeping beast, was awoken by the quake caused by Xie Ao Yu’s fists. Unable to contain its anger, it rushed out from the forest.

Xie Ao Yu who recently broke through, and can now finally learn and use Dragon Overlord Boxing was still unable to contain his excitement. He raised his hand at the Manli Bull and taunted it with his finger.

*Roar!!!*

Xie Ao Yu felt the hate of the Manli Bull in its continuous angry roars. It then smashed earth with its forehooves.

The inexhaustibly powerful Manli bull’s smash caused a fissure to erupt heading away from its hooves as of trying to split the mountain into two.

Xie Ao Yu smirked and shrugged. His face had a bored expression.

This infuriated the Manli Bull even more.

The bull was brutal beast. Its fierceness and cruelty was unmatched. Seeing Xie Ao Yu countenance infuriated it even more. It’s eyes glowed red and all the hair on its body stood up looking extremely ferocious.

*Roar!*

The violent Manli bull used its strength and smashed the earth.

This time it wasn’t a simple physical attack but one that used the Earth elemental magic… Earth spike.

Numerous incredibly sharp Earth spikes erupted from the ground. They were aimed at piercing Xie Ao Yu to injure him or even kill him.

“Thud!”

Xie Ao Yu raised his foot and stomped the ground.

An incredible amount of energy spread out from under his foot.

*Bang Bang Bang…*

All the Earth spikes broke apart. Not a single one remained.

Smiling Xie Ao Yu looked over to the Manli Bull, he raised his hand and waved his finger. Its meaning was painfully clear… ‘Not good enough.'”

*roar*

The Manli Bull got even angrier.

The incredibly strong Manli Bull’s greatest strength was in close-range combat. If its attack were to hit, it would render countless beasts and experts dead. Its hooves could crush boulders over 10 meters in size with ease.

Xie Ao Yu’s turned cold as a golden light appeared in his hands. A bang exploded forth.

*Boom*

The bright light was blinding.

Xie Ao Yu stood proud and completely still. On the other hand, the acclaimed super-powerful Manli Bull was sent tumbling 7 to 8 meters back.

This was the Overlord’s Emperor Art.
[TL:这便是至尊霸皇诀]

Xie Ao Yu walked forward and in 5 steps reached the front of the Manli Bull.

After getting up, the bull lowered its head and started charging. It used all the strength its body could muster to kill this human who dare provoke it.

“Die!”

Xie Ao Yu threw his punch.

Wailing, the beast cried out in pain as it fell to the ground. The Manli Bull died.

*Yiya Yiya* Xiao Bai excitedly jumped about. Turning around he ran and started quickly collecting firewood; stacking them by the body of the Manli Bull.

Xie Ao Yu had an air of annoyance. He thought Xiao Bai was happy that he defeated the Manli Bull, but instead it was happy that it could eat it.

They ate until they were completely full. Man and pet burping in satisfaction. They then headed home and upon reaching it saw a beautiful Bing Wu standing by the door waiting for them.

“What have you two been up to?” Bing Wu asked.
