Can a frog learn internal martial arts?
How is that possible!
If he could learn it, Lu Yong would simply become Frog's underling from now on! Lu Yong stood in the center of the courtyard, striking a pose with a solemn expression, trying his best to suppress his laughter.
"Nannan, and Xiaogua, watch out."
"This 'Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound' cultivates internal energy and trains the five internal organs. The so-called thunder sound is not the sound of the mouth and tongue, but the resonance of the internal organs, like the low roar of a tiger and leopard, with bones resonating!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yong took a deep breath, his chest bulging out before slowly sinking down.
hum-
An extremely deep vibration came from his body.
Fang Yuan, lying on the ground, felt it most acutely.
It wasn't a sound he could hear, but a vibration that traveled through the air and along the ground, directly to his stomach.
It's like the rumbling thunder that's trapped in the clouds before a summer storm.
It's like the roar of tigers and leopards, no wonder it's called the Thunderous Roar of Tigers and Leopards!
Is this internal strength?
As Lu Yong breathed in and out, the indigo square in Fang Yuan's field of vision began to move again.
[Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound]: (Beginner) (Points can be added)
Can frogs learn internal martial arts?
Quack~ I don't care about this or that! Forget about the hardware or the channels, I'm just going to learn!
What's wrong?
Don't ask, the answer is no!
Fang Yuan sneered inwardly. So-called internal strength is nothing more than this! With just a little effort, wouldn't this be a piece of cake?
However, Fang Yuan's frog face still had a blank expression, with only the white throat pouch rising and falling slightly with his breathing.
Now is not a good time to add points!
After he added points to the Tiger Roar Blade Technique last time, his body became hungry and he even started peeling. If he adds points to it now, the same thing might happen again.
If there are other unusual phenomena, it is really hard to explain.
Although Lu Yong looked at Nan Nan with an expression that never once opened his eyes to look at him, it was obvious that he looked down on him, probably thinking that he was just a frog and how could he possibly cultivate internal energy...
However, in order to prevent global warming, Fang Yuan abandoned his plan to immediately add points, which would have made the other party gasp and exclaim how terrifying it was.
Caw!
Lu Yong practiced once, then finished, his face slightly flushed and sweat beading on his forehead.
"This is the basic breathing technique. Nannan, you are still young, so don't force yourself to practice it. Just breathe nine times each morning and evening," Lu Yong instructed, then glanced at the frog with amusement.
"As for this little thing... Nan Nan should also teach it carefully and make sure it studies hard!" Lu Yong said with a smile, teasingly.
"Little Frog will definitely learn it!" Nan Nan said defiantly.
Lu Yong smiled, not taking it seriously, gave a few more instructions, took the booklet, and left in a hurry.
How could a frog possibly cultivate internal strength or learn inner power?
……
Is it really impossible to learn?
After Lu Yong left, Nan Nan also went to eat, and Fang Yuan immediately opened the panel.
Hmph~(╯^╰)
Let them see my potential!
Fang Yuan shouted in his heart!
—Dark Blue, add some points!
Although there isn't much Daoist essence, it should be enough for beginners to master this internal skill!
Let's get moving!
[Taoist Rhyme] → 1.12
[Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound (Beginner)] → [Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound (First Level)]
With the Daoist energy being poured in, the first level was instantly broken through in the next moment!
boom!
A surge of heat instantly exploded within Fang Yuan's small body.
pain!
It hurts and itches!
The internal organs of frogs are completely different from those of humans. Forcibly adding human internal martial arts techniques to frogs is tantamount to reshaping their physical bodies.
Fang Yuan felt his heart pounding as if it were about to jump out of his throat, and his lungs felt like they were on fire.
"Croak...!"
He couldn't help but open his mouth, wanting to vent this burning sensation.
But this time, the sound was no longer the crisp croaking of frogs.
Guh-hum!
His bulging Adam's apple didn't deflate; instead, it vibrated incessantly. The voice was deep and heavy, with a muffled quality, echoing within his small chest.
The bones were crackling, and the fascia was stretching.
It looks like he's been training for years...
My whole body felt restricted once again.
Fang Yuan broke free of his old skin and immediately discovered that his body size had increased by more than a size!
Originally only the size of a palm, it has now grown to the size of one and a half palms!
After a long while, the heat finally subsided.
Fang Yuan gasped for breath, feeling his whole body filled with explosive power.
If the previous [Tiger Roar Blade Technique] only gave him a means of attack, then this [Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound] completely strengthened his foundation.
He tried calling out.
"Croak!"
The sound was so loud that the lotus leaves beneath it trembled, and fine ripples spread across the water's surface.
Good guy!
That shout would probably stun a mosquito, right?
Is this... the thunderous sound of frogs croaking?
Just as Fang Yuan was lost in his own world, a series of heavy footsteps came from the other side of the corridor.
It's Master Lu.
It's somewhat like the rhythm of his walk!
What is he doing here in Nan Nan's room?
Quack?
Fang Yuan lay prone in the grass, puzzled.
……
It was already late, but Master Lu seemed to have just returned from outside. He was in a hurry, his brows were furrowed, and his butler, who always had a worried look on his face, was following behind him.
"...The Zhao family in the east of the city has also run into trouble?" Master Lu's voice was low and tinged with anxiety.
Recently, there have been inexplicably many accidents happening in the city!
"Yes, sir. I heard that overnight, the entire household, not even a dog, was wiped out; they were all dried up..." The steward's voice trembled. "The authorities say they're bandits, but what bandit family only sucks blood and doesn't rob?"
Yes... which bandit doesn't leech off money?
Even if it's just for the sake of faking it, you can't go without paying every time...
Moreover, the Zhao family is no small or insignificant family; they also maintain their own private army, and their security forces are not weak...
Master Lu frowned and sighed:
"The government officials... those people are useless, don't worry about their investigation results..."
With that, Master Lu shook his head and strode into Nan Nan's room.
"Where's Nan Nan? Did she go to eat?" Master Lu looked around Nan Nan's room but didn't find her, which made him a little uneasy.
"Yes, she should be going to eat. The young lady usually eats something around this time, then prepares to wash up and go to bed," the butler replied, then added with a sigh:
"But if we can't even rely on the government, what can we rely on?"
"Rely on yourself! The Lu family, the Hu family, didn't they all start out this way? Anyway, you stay here and wait for Nannan to come back. Then tell her that I have some things to do and will be away for a while."
"Tell her to be careful and not to always go out to play. If she wants anything, she can just tell her older brother. While I'm away, her older brother will be in charge of all the household affairs." Master Lu patted the butler on the shoulder.
"Yes!" The butler nodded, his face serious.
……
After lamenting the state of the world for a few minutes, Master Lu shook his head and prepared to leave quickly, but just then he saw a patch of green in the grass.
There, squatting, was a huge frog.
Wow, it's as big as one and a half palms! If I squatted on Nan Nan's head, I probably wouldn't be able to touch it all with one hand!
Master Lu was stunned for a moment.
"Is this... Nan Nan's frog?"
He pointed somewhat uncertainly.
The butler also came over for a look, and his eyes widened immediately: "This...how come it looks so much bigger than it did a few days ago?"
Master Lu frowned even more deeply.
This frog is growing way too fast.
When I killed the spider a few days ago, although it was larger than a regular frog, it was still within reason. But now, its size is quite noticeable.
Could it be that he has truly mastered the Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound?
Could it be that he really learned internal energy cultivation?!
Suddenly, a few absurd thoughts popped into Lu Ye's head! Then he couldn't help but chuckle to himself.
Where would you find a frog that can actually learn internal martial arts?!
"Master, could this thing... also be some kind of evil spirit?" The butler swallowed hard and subconsciously took a half step back.
……
quack!
You are the evil one!
Your whole family are evil...
Fang Yuan crouched in the grass, motionless, but his heart was in his throat.
Should we run?
No, I'm afraid I can't escape. The Lu family practices martial arts, as can be seen from their reputation for tigers and leopards.
If you want to run away, you have to be able to run away.
Moreover, if we run away now, where will we find such a good long-term meal ticket and martial arts manual in the future?
Fang Yuan steeled himself and tried his best to make his eyes look even more dull, more like a harmless, oversized bullfrog.
Master Lu stared at Fang Yuan for a long time, his eyes flashing with doubt.
If this were any other day, and such an oddball appeared in his house, he would definitely investigate him thoroughly, or even kill him to prevent future troubles.
But at this moment...
His mind was filled with the tragic scene of the Zhao family's complete extermination, and the eerie sight that was supposedly approaching Lujia City.
Who has time to care about such a frog?
Besides, we've had this frog for several days now; if something had happened, something would have happened at home already.
If we deal with it now, Nan Nan will probably become restless again.
……
"There aren't that many evil spirits..." Master Lu shook his head with amusement, then waved his hand wearily. "It's just an insect-eating beast. It's good that it's strong, so it won't die as easily as that spider, causing Nan Nan to cry again."
"The government is going through a lot right now, so don't waste your energy on these trivial matters."
Master Lu withdrew his gaze, turned, and continued walking briskly. "Give the order: starting tonight, double the number of guards patrolling the compound. Especially keep a close watch on Nan Nan's courtyard!"
"Yes, yes!" the butler replied hastily, giving the large frog a strange look before leaving, before hurrying after him.
However, before walking away, Lu Ye couldn't help but glance at the frog one last time.
—What if, by any chance, this frog really does learn the thunderous voice of a tiger or leopard?
After all, didn't this frog also learn two parts of the essence of the Tiger Roar Blade Technique?
But ultimately, it was all just trivial matters in the city, and Lu Ye didn't have time to think about it too much. In the end, he walked away quickly.
No matter how you look at it, how could a frog possibly learn the thunderous voice of a tiger or leopard?
……
Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, Fang Yuan slowly exhaled.
"Croak..."
That was close.
If it weren't for the fact that Master Lu is currently in a terrible predicament, I'm afraid I would really be captured and dissected for research.
Fang Yuan lay prone in the grass, watching the two disappear at the end of the corridor, a hint of seriousness flashing in his eyes.
"Not a single dog was left in the entire household; they were all dried up and turned into mummies..."
Vampire? Dried corpse?
Fang Yuan's thoughts raced. This was no ordinary murder case. Considering his previous bizarre encounters and the Blood Jade…
It seems that something truly sinister is at work!
Bandits? That's a joke. The steward is right—which bandit kills without robbing, just sucking blood? It doesn't make any sense.
More importantly, it's about Mr. Lu's attitude.
He seemed a bit anxious and restless? This was quite different from when he first returned a few days ago…
Did you discover something while reviewing intelligence and materials?
Or...did something unusual happen?
Oh right, and there's also the auction that Master Lu is going to organize... Fang Yuan remembered that Nan Nan wanted to hold a pet auction, precisely because Master Lu wouldn't take her to it...
Quack, is it because of the auction?
Fang Yuan frowned, carefully analyzing the conversation he had just overheard.
"The Zhao family in the east of the city also got into trouble"—the word "also" carries a lot of information, indicating that the Zhao family was not the first, and there must have been other families who suffered before.
Is it the Hu family from Qingmao Mountain? Or another family? It seems the Hu family wasn't turned into dried corpses by being sucked blood.
Fang Yuan felt increasingly uneasy as he thought about it.
Master Lu is going away for a while, and he specifically instructed that security be strengthened, especially in Nan Nan's yard...
This means he knows the danger exists, but he has to deal with more urgent matters and can't stay home to protect his family. Or rather... he has to actively confront that "strange" entity?
So... does that mean internal energy can deal with strange phenomena?
Fang Yuan couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope.
But Fang Yuan looked at his webbed hands and then at the empty courtyard around him.
What can a frog do?
Even if he has now learned the Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound and grown a size larger, he is still just a frog the size of a palm.
It may not be heavier than a cat.
If some monster or demon were to sneak in, what could he do? Jump up and bite it?
Should we use that half-baked Tiger Roar Blade Technique to give it a slash?
Thinking of this, Fang Yuan took a deep breath!
No, he must be able to protect himself!
Deep blue! Add more points!
