Chapter 733: Chapter 729: Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound
Over the weekend, Ye Fan took Wednesday off, for two days.
He left work at five oâclock on Wednesday afternoon and drove straight to Hua Hai city, catching a flight from there to the capital.
Around eleven oâclock at night, Ye Fan safely arrived at his familyâs villa.
Qiao Feixuan, who had been waiting for a long time, hurriedly approached even before Ye Fan could get out of the car.
Ye Fan opened the car door, stepped out, and immediately saw Qiao Feixuan standing in front of the car door, tilting her pretty face upward to look at him, her eyes slightly red.
âMom, Iâm back,â Ye Fan called out with a smile.
Qiao Feixuan reached out and grabbed Ye Fanâs hand, her voice somewhat choked, âItâs good that youâre back, good that youâre back. Come inside quickly, itâs windy and cold.â
âOkay,â Ye Fan replied, and together with Qiao Feixuan, they entered the villaâs main hall on the first floor.
As they entered the brightly lit hall, Ye Fan looked around and saw his father, Ye Guohua, sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper, with the TV on in front of him and the sound coming through.
âDad, Iâm back,â Ye Fan approached and called out.
Ye Guohua slowly put down the newspaper, turned his head, looked up at Ye Fan for a moment, and nodded with a âhmm.â
Displeased with Ye Guohuaâs indifference, Qiao Feixuan pulled Ye Fanâs hand toward the dining room and said, âDonât mind your dad; heâs always like this, bringing his official airs home. Son, you must be starving, right? Letâs eat something first. I asked the chef to make your favorite âBuddha Jumps Over the Wallâ and âBraised Shark Fin.'â
The next morning at nine oâclock, Ye Fan drove to pay a visit to elder Mr. Ye.
In the hall of elder Mr. Yeâs residence, the elder inquired quite thoroughly about Ye Fanâs situation in Mingde County.
Ye Fan respectfully provided answers one by one.
The old manâs attitude was gentle; he was very satisfied with Ye Fanâs performance in Mingde County.
Without any family influence to assist him, Ye Fan had managed to be promoted within just over a month and became the deputy head of the county police department, a development that filled elder Mr. Ye with great hopes.
The question and answer session lasted more than an hour before it ended.
By then, it was nearly eleven oâclock.
âYou should go with your Uncle Qin to find a place to rest and then have lunch together,â elder Mr. Ye said.
Upon hearing this, Ye Fan was momentarily stunned.
Having a meal with elder Mr. Ye was an honor his father, Ye Guohua, rarely enjoyed even a few times a year.
âYes, Grandfather,â he quickly recovered his senses and replied, then left the hall.
As he walked out of the hall, he couldnât help pondering elder Mr. Yeâs intentions.
He had always known that elder Mr. Ye was not one to easily change his decisions; Ye Fanâs transfer to a political role was definitely not elder Mr. Yeâs idea, but surely the result of his mother Qiao Feixuanâs earnest pleading and the many sacrifices she had made.
âFor such a change against elder Mr. Yeâs wishes, he should not be too happy, so why does it seem like thereâs a hint of praise for me?â
Old Master Ye had an early lunch, starting his meal around eleven and some minutes.
At half past twelve, Ye Fan finally drove away from the Old Master Yeâs residence.
He didnât return home but drove straight to his master Zhuo Junwuâs villa.
His main reason for coming back to the Four Nine City this time was to learn âTiger and Leopard Thunder Soundâ from his master. Otherwise, just to visit his parents, he wouldnât dare to ask for leave to go back. Old Master Ye always disliked the Ye familyâs descendants running to Four Nine City for no good reason, let alone asking for leave from work to come back.
An hour later, Ye Fan drove into Zhuo Junwuâs villa and paid his respects to Zhuo Junwu in the villaâs backyard.
Zhuo Junwu, looking at Ye Fan with piercing eyes, said with a booming laugh, âHahaha, not bad. This is my good apprentice, whom Iâve doted on for many years!â
Ye Fan smiled. He knew his master was referring to his victory over Dong Ziqi, who was half a step into the realm of transforming strength.
Sitting down in a stone chair, Ye Fan inquired about Zhuo Junwuâs health.
After a brief exchange, Zhuo Junwu stood up and said with a smile, âFollow me; today I will pass on to you the highest secret of Xingyi Boxingâthe âTiger and Leopard Thunder Soundâ.â
As Ye Fan was on leave and didnât have much time, he didnât delay.
âThank you, Master,â Ye Fan exclaimed cheerfully, following Zhuo Junwu into the villa.
They went up to the third floor, into the practice room.
This practice room wasnât simply a regular room. The floor alone was made of half a meter thick reinforced concrete.
Zhuo Junwu stood in the middle of the practice room and said to Ye Fan, âOur ancient martial arts cultivation progresses from the superficial to the deep, from the external to the internal. In the early stages, we enhance our Qi-Blood, strengthen our muscles, and fortify our organs. Both the visible strength and the hidden strength belong to the stage of tempering the flesh, membranes, and internal organs. When one reaches the later stages of hidden strength, the toughness of flesh and blood basically reaches the human limit. Further deep cultivation involves refining the bones and marrow, cutting the bones and washing the marrow, literally rebirth from the ashes.â
âTransforming strength is the process of cutting bones and washing marrow. As for entering the grand Dao of nurturing the core, thatâs already the stage of refining the spirit.â
âRefining the spirit?â Ye Fan asked with slight surprise and an intense desire for knowledge in his eyes.
The Dao of nurturing the core represents the highest realm of ancient martial arts cultivation, which ordinary practitioners have only heard of but donât really understand.
Zhuo Junwu said, âRefining the spirit means tempering the spiritual power, not only enhancing the spiritual power but also toughening it. Reaching the Dao of nurturing the core is about melting the vigorous Qi-Blood and spiritual power of the entire body into one furnace. The immense spiritual power contains the abundant Qi-Blood, returning to simplicity and truth, reaching a profound state. As for more details, I canât tell you yet to avoid distracting you.â
âI see,â Ye Fan exclaimed, âAncient martial arts truly are profound and vast.â
Zhuo Junwu smiled faintly and then said, âNow, Iâll pass âTiger and Leopard Thunder Soundâ on to you.â
As soon as his words ended, Zhuo Junwuâs body emitted a series of âyi hao yi haoâ sounds, resembling the muffled, rolling thunder from the distant horizon, full of a vibrating sensation. Although the sound wasnât loud, it gave one a feeling of their Qi-Blood overturning and surging, along with a faint pain in the eardrums.
Having encountered much in ancient martial arts, Ye Fan immediately understood.
The reason the sound was not loud but could cause his eardrums to ache and his Qi-Blood to surge was because the vibration frequency of Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound was close to his bodyâs frequency, almost creating a resonance.
He had been exposed to some military secrets and knew there was a type of sound wave weapon that killed invisibly. It only required directing the sound wave weapon at the enemy, and the weaponâs chip would automatically analyze the enemyâs body frequency, then emit a corresponding sound wave, causing the enemyâs body to resonate, internally damaging the heart, lungs, liver, and brain, effectively killing the person.
When a troop crossed a bridge, it was common knowledge that all soldiers must walk freely and not march or run in step, as this was to avoid creating resonance, which could collapse the entire bridge.
Of course, such sound wave weapons had not been truly developed yet. After all, every personâs body differs in height and size, and therefore everyoneâs frequency is different, making it a significant technical challenge to quickly lock onto a target personâs body frequency.
Having high comprehension, Ye Fan quickly made connections to a lot of information and roughly guessed that âTiger and Leopard Thunder Soundâ was about producing a kind of thunder sound that approaches bodily resonance, hence refining the bones and the marrow.
