The Mixed Yuan Force, a cultivation method focused on the metal element, was the first technique Zhou Yi encountered after starting to cultivate internal energy. It was also the internal energy technique he had diligently practiced for a full eight years before yesterday. In the final four years, Zhou Yi had envisioned countless scenes of breaking through the limits of the fifth level and advancing to the sixth level. The internal energy circulation route of the sixth level had been deeply engraved in his bones, a persistent dedication that left an indelible mark. It was a persistence akin to "not giving up until reaching the Yellow River, and not giving up even at the Yellow River."

If it weren't for the decisions of the elders and the sincere efforts of his third brother, Zhou Yi would never have considered switching to other techniques. Although he achieved incredible accomplishments with the Ripple Technique, compared to it, the Mixed Yuan Force was his main cultivation technique, inseparable from his flesh and blood.

When Zhou Yi's mind entered a certain state of wonder, the technique within his body immediately returned to the familiar Mixed Yuan Force of many years and naturally entered the sixth level. It all happened effortlessly, without any hindrance, as if Zhou Yi's Mixed Yuan Force had always been at the sixth level.

With his eyes half-closed and half-open, Zhou Yi suddenly opened his eyes wide. A gleam of light burst forth from his eyes, as if piercing through the heavens and earth.

Without hesitation, he leaped into the air, swiftly turned around, and unleashed a powerful strike with one hand. The internal energy throughout his body reached its pinnacle at that moment, pushing his spirit and energy to their utmost peak.

From the direction he had been advancing, a fierce roar suddenly erupted, but within that roar, there was a hint of fear and weakness.

The fox bear, standing over two meters tall, opened its large mouth and raised its bear paw, resembling a fan, as it came crashing down.

"Boom..."

In contrast to the seemingly silent confrontation just moments ago, this time it erupted with a tremendous sound.

The enormous body of the fox bear was thrown up by the powerful force, tumbling in the air before landing in a disheveled state among the shrubs and bushes. Even its fur had been partially torn off. However, once the fox bear touched the ground, it immediately sprang up and fled in the opposite direction from Zhou Yi at a frantic pace, as if its life depended on it.

The speed was so astonishing that one couldn't associate it with the bear's massive body.

In an instant, the fox bear had disappeared deep into the mountains, leaving no trace behind.

Zhou Yi stood in place, slowly retracting his palm, and looked at his swollen arm in disbelief. However, he didn't feel any pain, as if he was completely oblivious to it. His face displayed a mixture of astonishment and extreme joy.

At the moment he unleashed that unprecedentedly powerful palm strike, he had already sensed that he wasn't using the sixth level of the Ripple Technique but the Mixed Yuan Force that he had cultivated diligently for a full eight years.

When he realized that the technique within him had suddenly changed, Zhou Yi inwardly exclaimed in alarm. Although the Mixed Yuan Force was the most formidable offensive technique in the metal element, the enormous gap between the fifth and sixth levels had robbed him of confidence in harming his opponent. However, in that split second, the fox bear had already been shaken away, and judging by its desperate fleeing and slightly limping movements, it was undoubtedly injured and not lightly so.

In an instant, Zhou Yi understood. The Mixed Yuan Force he used was not the fifth level but a technique fully empowered by the sixth level of strength in the metal element.
