Genes are forbidden areas for human beings. They are the domain of God. If you master the mysteries of genes, then you will master the power of God!
The famous "gene martial arts theory" has exhausted the sources of martial arts power, practicing martial arts, breaking its own genetic lock, and achieving "inhumanity". This is the true meaning of martial arts.
Senior junior Lin Feng, accidentally got a gene fusion device, and embarked on the road of gene fusion. Others rely on their talents to practice martial arts. Lin Feng's practice of martial arts is based on the integration of various ancient and wild wild beast genes.
Since then, Lin Feng has embarked on the path of genetic martial arts, and has achieved the strongest martial arts!

Chu Li smiled and gave a fist salute. "Thank you."
"Our Blazing Sun Clan has always played fair and square and will not resort to such villainous acts." Lu Xiaofeng smiled. "We will not let others do as they will and harm Clan Leader Zhao!"
Chu Li grinned. "It's not worth doing this much for someone who is handicapped."
"Big Brother Zhao, you can cultivate again if you lost your martial arts. You hadn't been cultivating for long anyway, so recovery will not take too long," Yue Ru continued. 
Chu Li nodded. "Don't worry, I'm not that weak."
"Wham!" A dull crash sent the windows bursting open. An elder in gray leaped into the tower and appeared before Chu Li. He extended his arm to grab Chu Li. Clawing with his right hand, a fierce killing intention overwhelmed Chu Li. 
Chu Li seemed powerless as he watched with open eyes at the clawing right hand. 
"Wham!" Yang Ying struck her knuckle on his shoulder, sending him back to where he came in from. 
Chu Li smiled. "Thank you, Miss Yang!"
Yang Ying snorted. "What's there to thank? These deceitful thugs asked for it, I'll come at them if they dare show their faces!" 
Chu Li said, "Surely more associations will crowd in Gale City."
"The Blazing Sun Clan has released news that we'll be standing by Clan Leader Zhao."
Yue Ru continued, "There's always those who would show a lack of understanding."
Yang Ying grunted. "These people should be crippled of their martial arts to have a taste of it."
Chu Li beamed. "I'm overwhelmed by the treatment I'm receiving!"
"This is actually a rule of the martial arts world. We aren't doing this just for you, Clan Leader Zhao, it is to uphold the right and just of the martial arts world," Lu Xiaofeng said. 
"I see." Chu Li flashed a bright smile. "Then I don't owe you a big one!"
"You don't owe us anything!" Yang Ying puffed. 
Lu Xiaofeng continued, "I admire how Clan Leader Zhao is able to keep calm and talk cheerfully at a difficult time like this."
He suddenly realized his envy vanishing. Instead, he began to pity Chu Li. 
Chu Li remarked, "I can't just sulk whenever I get in trouble. It's pointless. Moreover, it's not a big deal. Martial arts recovery isn't that hard, it can happen in a flash."
"In a flash?" Yang Ying was curious. "What's in a flash?"
"My martial arts recovery is actually swift," Chu Li added. "I want to see who's coming out so I can take care of them in one go."
"Zhao Dahe, don't tell me you're the one who released the news about your martial arts being crippled?" Yang Ying cried out. 
Chu Li shook his head. "Someone's out to get me."
"Good." Yang Ying drew her breath out. "I won't let you off the hook if you're behind this." 
Just then, a group of people surged up the staircase with such wickedness. They viciously glared at him as they closed in on Chu Li. 
Chu Li cast a quick glance and shook his head. He did not recognize these people. 
Lu Xiaofeng solemnly declared, "Strong Wind Association, how dare you!"
Noticing Lu Xiaofeng's presence, they held back their imposing vigor. 
The leading young man immediately uttered, "Clan Leader Lu, we're here on Zhao Dahe's account."
"Taking advantage of the weak is what Strong Wind Association seems to do best, huh!" Lu Xiaofeng grunted. "Scram, as long as my Blazing Sun Clan is around, you lot won't be dealing with Clan Leader Zhao!"
"Clan Leader Lu, why are you helping him!"
"Do I need to reiterate the principle of the martial arts world?" Lu Xiaofeng spoke in a low voice. 
The young man thought about it before helplessly nodding. "Alright, we will spare him today out of respect for Clan Leader Lu." 
He gave Chu Li the evil eye before waving his hand and leaving. 
The rest left with him. 
Chu Li grinned as he watched them leave. 
Yu Rue's heart filled with sorrow upon seeing Chu Li's smile. 
Big Brother Zhao used to wield awe-inspiring authority but could only standby and watch as unknown associations give him the lip. 
Before, these associations would not dare come close. They would be submissive and spoke gently with respect during their encounter. 
Yet Big Brother Zhao kept his cool and smiled under such an embarrassing circumstance. His tolerance was admirable. 
Chu Li said, "Here we are, all four sects peacefully gathered here. No one would believe this."
"There will never be peace between our White Tiger Sect and your Holy Church of Light!" Yang Ying grumbled. 
Chu Li spoke, "I owe everyone one this time, I will repay you in the future."
"Say that when you're able to," Yang Ying commented. "Don't brag, can you really recover your martial arts?"
Chu Li smiled and nodded. 
"Big Brother Zhao, let's return to Phoenix Goddess Brothel, you can slowly recover there," Yue Ru uttered.
"Sounds like a good idea." Chu Li nodded. 
Yue Ru curled her lips into a smile. 
Lu Xiaofeng frowned and grimaced but did not object to it in the end. Zhao Dahe was the closest to the Tian Luo Sect. Surely he still carried suspicions on him and the White Tiger Sect. 
… 
Bai Feng sat behind a desk, dabbling with the strings of her instrument. 
Chu Li sat cross-legged on the bed as he quietly watched Bai Feng. 
"Are you going to continue cultivating the Musical Assassination Technique?"
"Yes."
"Without inner energy, how do you plan to do so?"
"It will help me regain my cultivation level."
"Alright then." Bai Feng nodded without saying a word more. She lowered her head to play with her instrument. 
Chu Li's thoughts lingered away back to the moments during the day. 
He was not surprised by the way Yang Ying acted. It was in her nature. 
It was also not unusual for Yue Ru to do so either. She had a long-standing relationship with Phoenix Goddess Brothel. 
Lu Xiaofeng was the one who caught him by surprise. 
He saw through Lu Xiaofeng's thoughts courtesy of Omniscient Mirror. The Flaming Sun Sect attached importance on reputation and cherished their name in the martial arts world. They saw his crippled martial arts as a chance to reflect that. 
Even with such motive, Chu Li still owed him and would repay him whenever possible. 
He did not expect the White Tiger Sect and the Flaming Sun Sect to provide timely help rather than fish in troubled waters during the time his martial arts was crippled. He bet the people of Gale City felt the same. 
It was a world celebrating the survival of the fittest with martial arts being paramount. With his martial arts crippled, he went from being the number one master in Gale City to handicapped. 
He was no longer a threat to them, hence the treatment he received. However, due to this approach, he would not have the nerve to challenge the three major factions upon his recovery. Their method of killing two birds with one stone was genius. 
With an instrumental melody playing in the background, Maha-Vairocana's Immobility Scripture, Devil Desolation Scripture, and Scripture of Light were channeled at an incredible speed, strengthening Chu Li's body. 
At the end of the music, Bai Feng got up to leave. 
As it was dusk, Chu Li got up to light a few tallow candles to brighten the room up. He then took out Single Slice of the Universe to study. 
With Feng Xue there wreaking havoc, he had to strengthen his Seven Forms of Divine Blade if he wished to keep his fame. Seven Forms of Divine Blade alone may not be able to defeat Feng Xue. All efforts would be in vain if he was to lose then. 
It was a battle he could not afford to lose or Feng Xue would dominate the entire martial arts world. 
Chu Li got down on the ground and began to practice Single Slice of the Universe. 
He was able to grasp its depth after he went through thirty-six forms. Single Slice of the Universe really lived up to its name. It was indeed unique. 
Every form of the thirty-six energy-nurturing forms absorbed strange energy out of a void. It was not inner energy but an energy he was unfamiliar with. It must have been the blade energy required by Single Slice of the Universe. 
However, cultivating these thirty-six energy-nurturing forms was not easy, and resulted in a faint energy. He wondered how long it would take to accumulate enough for a single slice. 
Suddenly, a thought struck Chu Li. If he were to use this blade energy on Light Blade, what force would it drive? 


Chu Li was a particle physicist until a freak accident took his life and transmigrated him to a parallel universe — one where he wakes up with inexplicable abilities and finds himself in the running for a job in the imperial palace. 
This is a story of heroic adventures, cunning strategies and romantic tales. How will our MC thrive in a world completely strange to him? Where will his ambitions and abilities take him in the palace?

In the void.
Lin Qi struck the Gautama Buddha's Palm over and over again.
He would gain new insights every time he struck.
The bigger he struck, the more profound the Gautama Buddha's Palm was. It was incredible.
It could be said that the Gautama Buddha's Palm was the general outline of the Shaolin Temple's martial arts.
All the Shaolin Temple's martial arts were seen in the Gautama Buddha's Palm.
However, they were like the difference between a firefly and a bright moon compared to the Gautama Buddha's Palm.
It could be said to be the Gautama Buddha's Palm was simplified to the extreme.
After all, the Shaolin Temple's martial arts came from Bodhidharma.
And Bodhidharma was a disciple of Gautama Buddha, who was separated by countless generations.
The Gautama Buddha's Palm had already faded away in the process of inheritance.
Even Bodhidharma was not fated to meet it.
However, Bodhidharma might not be able to learn it even if he had the chance to witness the Gautama Buddha's Palm with his own eyes.
No matter how many great disciples the Buddha had, they were unable to master the Gautama Buddha's Palm before him.
They could only pass down martial arts that were suitable for themselves based on the Gautama Buddha's Palm.
The Gautama Buddha's Palm had been destroyed with that.
The 10,000 martial arts technique books of the Shaolin Temple would not be able to compare to any one of the Gautama Buddha's Palm's forms even if they were all learned!
"No, the Gautama Buddha's Palm is not perfect enough!"
"There shouldn't only be nine forms of the Gautama Buddha's Palm!"
Lin Qi suddenly opened his eyes after finishing the last round of the Gautama Buddha's Palm.
A bright light flashed in his eyes.
Lin Qi had long become familiar with the Gautama Buddha's Palm after practicing over and over again and reaching the peak of perfection.
On the last round, Lin Qi felt that the Gautama Buddha's Palm was lacking.
Lin Qi would not have such thoughts if it were before.
But Lin Qi's realm at that moment was more profound than before he learned the Gautama Buddha's Palm.
The Earth Immortal Realm was in perfection.
He stood on the same level as Gautama Buddha in terms of the realm.
Naturally, his horizons were much higher.
In his opinion.
These nine forms of the Gautama Buddha's Palm were indeed extremely powerful, having the ability to shake the past and the present.
But it still did not surpass the realm of the Earth Immortal.
It was just perfect implantation of the spirit of the Earth Immortal and the present world.
Lin Qi's implantation of spirit was very shallow previously.
But after practicing the Gautama Buddha's Palm, his implantation of spirit had reached the peak level.
However, he was still unable to break through the obstacles of reality.
The spirit could only be used on the spirit level!
Lin Qi could imagine how similar his mood at this moment was to the Gautama Buddha from thousands of years ago.
They had reached the end of this world.
There seemed to be no way forward. Such confusion and helplessness feeling.
Even the Gautama Buddha could not reverse it.
But Lin Qi was different. Lin Qi came from the origin world.
Lin Qi knew that the world in front of him was just a very ordinary world of martial arts.
There were higher-level and more powerful worlds.
There were powerful immortals, cultivators, fighters, mages, and other figures in these worlds.
Their minds could not only interfere with reality but could also change reality.
Gautama Buddha had never seen or heard of it.
That was why he said that the nine forms of Gautama Buddha's Palm that he had created had limitations.
In Lin Qi's opinion, there should be more powerful palm techniques above the nine forms. It was just that Gautama Buddha had not deduced it.
It was a combination of the Buddha from the origin world and the Buddha from the world he had transmigrated from.
The Buddhas in these worlds were very powerful.
Especially the world he had transmigrated from.
It was even more powerful.
Even Sun Wukong, who caused chaos in the Heavenly Palace.
He could travel 108,000 miles with just a somersault.
He was so stunned that he could not even walk out of Gautama Buddha's palm.
In the end, Gautama Buddha's palm turned into a Mount Wuzhi.
It suppressed Sun Wukong for 500 years!
What kind of divine power was that!
Countless thoughts converged and collided in his mind.
All kinds of thoughts were like heavenly horses flying in the sky.
Finally.
Lin Qi had an epiphany.
He returned to the cliff where the Buddhist Scripture Library was located.
The novice monk was at the edge of the cliff. He had just watched Lin Qi demonstrate the Gautama Buddha's Palm in the void with shock and excitement.
Lin Qi looked at the novice monk.
The novice monk immediately became nervous.
He was extremely excited when he saw Lin Qi comprehend such a powerful Gautama Buddha's Palm from the Gautama Buddha's handwritten letter.
However, he did not want to be Lin Qi's guinea pig.
He had seen with his own eyes how powerful the Gautama Buddha's Palm was, and he had personally experienced it before.
His life would be gone if Lin Qi was not careful.
However, the novice monk did not dare to run.
He was afraid of angering Lin Qi.
Moreover, he could not run away.
He was afraid that he would be blown if Lin Qi casually hit him with his palm!
Lin Qi did not mind when he saw that the novice monk was nervous and pale.
Instead, he stretched out his palm and clenched his five fingers into a fist.
"Look!"
Lin Qi said slowly.
The novice monk immediately let out a sigh of relief upon seeing that Lin Qi did not intend to use him as an experiment.
He mustered up the courage to look at Lin Qi's hand.
Lin Qi opened his palm. There was nothing in his palm.
However...
The novice monk's expression changed.
He saw ten thousand miles of the Buddhist Kingdom in Lin Qi's palm.
He saw the Nalanda Temple.
He saw all the Buddhas discussing Dao.
He saw Bodhisattvas chanting scriptures.
He saw the Eighteen Arhats.
He also saw Gautama Buddha.
Gautama Buddha looked exactly like Lin Qi.
Lin Qi was Gautama Buddha.
Gautama Buddha was Lin Qi.
Lin Qi was the Buddha of the ten-thousand-mile Buddhist Kingdom.
That form was called the Buddhist Kingdom in the Palm!
It was Lin Qi's self-confidence that he had comprehended it.
The new Gautama Buddha's Palm.
It was completely different from the previous nine moves of the Gautama Buddha's Palm.
If the previous nine forms were the martial arts of the human world.
Then from that moment, Lin Qi comprehended this form.
The Gautama Buddha's Palm had already transcended the human world.
Just in this form alone.
The Buddha's will contained in the palm was enough to become the current Buddha.
When he executed that form.
Lin Qi's body also underwent a new change.
He felt that an invisible shackle in his body had been broken.
That invisible shackle was from Heaven and Earth.
It was the shackle of Heaven and Earth.
Lin Qi had broken the shackle of Heaven and Earth.
Lin Qi felt extremely relaxed at that moment.
His mind was clear!
His spirit was released!
He was released!
His spirit was infinitely strengthened.
It was like a constantly growing cocoon, finally breaking out of it, and turning into a butterfly.
That world no longer had the means to subdue Lin Qi.
Lin Qi might have been afraid of nuclear weapons before that.
But Lin Qi was confident at that moment.
Those nuclear weapons could not hurt him at all.
His existence had broken the highest level of life that this world could produce.
The level of this world could be said to have changed because of his existence.
Before, this world was just a world of martial arts.
The mind could only affect, not interfere with reality.
But now, the law was broken by Lin Qi.
Lin Qi broke the shackles of Heaven and Earth just now and comprehended a new realm.
This realm.
Lin Qi called it: Spiritual Saint Manifestation.
Spiritual Saint Manifestation, having the mind and body as one.
It was the combination of body and mind, which could interfere with reality.
And that was only the first step.
The focus of martial arts was not just the mind interfering with reality.
Spiritual ability to affect reality and even create reality was the right path.
Lin Qi was no different from creating a brand-new martial path for this world.
The end of this world's martial path was the Saint Core Realm before that.
However, Lin Qi's appearance had let the world know about the possibility of Earth Immortals.
Lin Qi had once again broken the limit at that moment.
He had opened the materialistic world to the path of martial arts!
From then on, this world no longer had a way to subdue Lin Qi.
The essence of Lin Qi's life had undergone an earth-shaking change.


Lin Qi transmigrates to a world of immortals. In this world, there are sword immortals who can behead a person from a thousand miles away, peerless great demons who burn mountains and boil the seas, and ancient gods and devils who can divine the heavenly secrets.

As a disciple in charge of miscellaneous chores in the Skysword Sect, Lin Qi doesn't have any cultivation talent. A hundred years had passed in a flash, and seeing that he has nothing to do with such a great world, Lin Qi is incomparably depressed. Just as he is about to die of old age, he suddenly awakens a cultivation system.

Unlocked One-Click Cultivation System: Limitless cultivation speed boost, one major realm per second!

Unlocked One-Click Technique Practicing System: Cultivation technique instantly maxed out. Cultivate 10,000 techniques at the same time!

Unlocked One-Click Clone System: 100% of the actual body's strength. Can self-destruct, can teleport, can fuse!

As a result, Lin Qi begins to cultivate again with his hundred-year-old body, becoming invincible under the heavens.

  We continued through Riverwood until we reached  a blacksmiths house. The house looked like any of the normal nordic buildings. Its walls were mostly stone and it had a straw roof. Off to the side was a small open area that had a forge in it. Beside the forge was a grind stone, a table with some equipment on it, and a workbench.
  The smith that was working the forge seemed very concentrated on his work. Apparently Hadvar didn't care.
  "Things look quiet enough here. Come on, there's my uncle. Uncle Alvor! Hello!" He walked over and greeted him.
  "Hadvar? What are you doing here? Are you on leave from... Shor's bones, what happened to you, boy? Are you in some kind of trouble?" The man, Alvor, asked with concern, noticing Hadvars current appearance.
  Alvor had a very strong build, especially the upper body and arms. He had Long blonde hair and a beard. His face was covered in dirt and he looked exhausted.
  "Shh, uncle. Keep your voice down. I'm fine, but we should go inside to talk." Hadvar said while leading us into the house.
  "What's going on? And who's this?" Asked Alvor while looking at me with suspicion, probably wondering why I was only wearing some old pants, and why his nephew was hanging around a khajiit.
  "He's a friend. Saved my life in fact. Come on, I'll explain everything, but we need to go inside." Replied Hadvar. I don't know why he's being so secretive, a few people in the village probably already saw the dragon, it flew right over them and was making a lot of noise, I don't know how they couldn't notice it.
  " Okay, okay. Come inside, then. Sigrid will get you something to eat and you can tell me all about it." Alvor said as he unlocked the door.
  The house wasn't too exciting, all there was were a few beds on the right side of the room, a fireplace in the middle and a table and staircase leading to the cellar on the left. Other then that there were a few random objects here and there and some food.
  "Sigrid! We have company!" Alvor yelled, after which a women and a little girl came up the stairs from the cellar.
  "Hadvar! We've been so worried about you! Come, you two must be hungry. Sit down and I'll get you something to eat." Said the women after seeing Hadvar, she then looked at me as if it was my fault he never visited.
  I guess I spent so much time in the mountains that I forgot how much people hate khajiit, especially nords and elves.
  "Now, then, boy. What's the big mystery? What were you doing, looks like you lost an argument with a cave bear?" Alvor asked. Well we did get into an argument with a cave bear, but I was better at persuasion so we won.
  "I don't know where to start. I was assigned to General Tullius's guard. We were stopped in Helgen when we were attacked...by a dragon." He replied, leaving out the part about the execution.
  "A dragon? That's...ridiculous. You aren't drunk, are you, boy?" Alvor replied amused while looking at us as if waiting for the punchline.
  "Husband, let him tell his story." Sigrid said while still watching me as if to make sure I didn't steal anything.
  "Not much more to tell. This dragon flew over and just wrecked the whole place. Mass confusion. I don't know if anyone else got out alive. I doubt I'd have made it out if not for my friend here. I need to get back to Solitude and let them know what's happened. I thought you could help us out. Food, supplies, a place to stay." Hadvar told them a very simplified version of the story.
  "Of course! Any friend of Hadvar's is a friend of mine. I'm glad to help in any way I can." He said while looking at me with grateful eyes, apparently he just accepted it with just that crappy story.
  Sigrid didn't like the idea of giving me anything that they owned, but Alvor ignored her and walked over to me.
  "Like I said, I'm glad to help. But I need your help. We need your help. The Jarl needs to know there's a dragon on the loose. Riverwood is defenseless... We need to get word to Jarl Balgruuf in Whiterun to send whatever soldiers he can. If you'll do that for me, I'll be in your debt. " He asked.
  "Sure I don't mind, I was going to visit Whiterun anyway before heading to Riften." I told him after which I thanked him for their short hospitality and walked out of the house.
  I guess I don't need to go to Riften anymore now that I have the martial arts skill. Though, I think that I'll still go though, just to see if I can still gain anything from him.
  Before anything else I need to break through my bottleneck. While my martial arts were leveling up I could feel myself approaching a new power. I don't know what it is but I can tell Im close and I might as well find out now.
  I sat down on a tree stump under a tree near the end of the mill island and began to meditate. I had known how to meditate before however not with the same efficiency as now. The martial arts allowed me to understand different aspects of my body that I never would have considered before. Like my center of gravity and my breathing, I never would have thought to control them for use in combat like they do in martial arts.
  I began to control my breathing and straighten my posture as I closed my eyes. I imagined myself performing all the basic movements over and over again until I was mentally able to do it without focusing on it.
  Martial Arts 21-22
  Level up
  I heard a loud noise in my head and then I heard drums again for a second and opened my eyes. What did it mean by level up? I opened my menu and found that the skill tab had changed from Skill to Level Up. I opened it.
  The second I did a black box appeared in my vision with words in it,
  You have leveled up! Choose an attribute to advance
  Magicka  Health  Stamina
  I didn't know what it was but I couldn't exit so I had no choice but to select something. I then selected health just to see what would happen. After doing so the black box disappeared and my health number went from 900/900(90/90) to 910/910(91/91). I immediately shouted in joy.
  I had broken my limit!
  It may not have been by much but I still did it!
  Other then that I had also got a perk point. I couldn't do anything about it right now so I had to save. I needed to have level 25 martial arts in order to get the next level of the Basics of Martial Arts ability.
  Although I was excited for my new breakthrough, I understood that I needed to continue training to advance more so I exited the menu and began to meditate again.
  Martial Arts 22-23
  Martial Arts 23-24
  Martial Arts 24-25
  After about seven hours of meditating I stopped after leveling up three times. I may be patient but the amount of time its taking to level up via meditation is to long. I guess in order to advance faster I need to actually use my skills in combat.
  I opened the menu again and added the perk point to Basics of Martial Arts. Immediately the forms for the yellow belt level of taekwondo flooded my mind as well as the first and second forms of three other martial arts. I had learned the first and second levels of Muay Thai, Tai Chi and Karate. Although they may only be the basic novice levels, when combined with my physical power and mental aptitude for fighting, I was easily able to take down twenty armed men at once if needed.
   Although they would have to be at the apprentice level or below in order for me to be able to take twenty, I could still do it. I could also take two, mabe three adepts at once if I had no choice. I might even be able to fight an expert for a little while, although I definitely won't win.
   I began to try out the new moves that I had learned. The new forms of Taekwondo seemed to focus a lot on leg strength while the new moves I learned from Karate were more arm and fist based. The Muay Thai martial art seemed to be very deadly and focused more on the knees and elbows.
   (I'm using the ancient forms of these martial arts, not the ones used in competitions or mma. The forms he's learning are more like the ones shown in Kenichi)
   Tai Chi seemed to be the weirdest. I couldn't figure out why I would need to know it if all the movements were as slow as they are. I could guess that it was a martial art that was meant solely for training but I dont think thats the case. It felt like I was missing something in the movements whenever I went through the form. 
   For now I will ignore it, I need to focus on my current objective. I opened my quest journal and saw the quest that was added after my talk with Alvor.
   Before The Storm
   I need to make my way to Whiterun in order to warn them about the dragon that attacked helgen. I am to ask for  the aid of the jarl on behalf of Riverwood to send more guards to help in it's defense.
   I guess it's time to visit Whiterun.

Chapter 9: Godly Tiger Form Technique

‘When I was seven years old, I was undergoing hellish training at the Siberian Training Camp. At that time, my body had not yet developed so that kind of oppressive training greatly affected my body. Although I studied Internal Martial Arts under my mentor, since my body was lacking too much, I didn’t have that great a potential. Even though I had reached the limit of Internal Martial Arts as well as my physical limit, my body’s fitness was still a lot weaker than Dolgoterov’s and the others.
Unable to step into the Grandmaster Realm, people could only strive for their physical limits at most, unable to advance any further.
There was a limit to training.
Like some athletes, in order to achieve good results, they trained desperately every day to win medals and ranks. When they were young, they won many competitions. However, many of them broke down when they reached their mid-thirties.
Of course, the level of training athletes did, did not count as extreme.
For example, some Muay Thai athletes were very crazy; like a machine. When they were twenty years old they were very scary, but many of them could not live beyond the age of forty. Even if they were able to live longer, they might have to lean on a walking stick! Because their potentials had been squeezed too much, so much that even their vitality was consumed.
Yet, Internal Martial Arts was different!
China’s Internal Martial Arts was very magical because the first purpose was not killing, but healthiness.
Healthiness came before killing.
A Muay Thai master would break down around the age of forty. However, for a professional in Internal Martial Arts, forty years old was exactly their pinnacle moment. Especially for an Internal Martial Arts Grandmaster; even at the age of eighty or ninety, they would still possess terrifying strength. Any Internal Martial Arts Grandmaster could live for more than a hundred years if he did not die in a fight.
Hence, one can easily see the effects of Internal Martial Arts’ healthiness.
Of course, in the world there was a long history of Ancient Indian Yoga, which also had a magical effect. Indian Yoga was not comparable to Internal Martial Arts as Internal Martial Arts were of a higher degree of difficulty, but Indian Yoga was on a lower level so there were more practitioners of Ancient Indian Yoga. Of course, the vast majority of SS-Rank practitioners all over the world, in other words the masters, whose level was at the Grandmaster Realm practiced Internal Martial Arts.
“Once you reach the Grandmaster Realm, you can transcend humanity’s physical limits.” Teng Qingshan couldn’t help but smile.
The limit of Internal Martial Arts was being able to completely control every muscle.
As for the Grandmaster Realm, the limit was being able to control and use all the energy of one’s muscles, veins and bones, throughout one’s entire body. That was the reason why a Grandmaster professional could send out a stronger fist despite having the same body as others.
“Steady, step by step. Practicing the ‘Three Postures’, ‘Five Elemental Fists’, and ‘Twelve Forms’ everyday will gradually strengthen the bones, improve the veins’ toughness and strengthen the muscles’ density, but this process is too slow.” Teng Qingshan sighed loudly, “Fortunately, my mentor taught me the strongest secret skill of Xing Yi Martial Arts named ‘Godly Tiger Form Technique’.”
There were various kinds of Internal Martial Arts in China. Besides the three major Internal Martial Arts, there were the Eight Trigram Palm, Five Elemental Fist Art, Hong Ga, Tong Bei Fist Art, Yong Chun Fist Art and many other types of martial arts.
But why could Xing Yi Martial Art , Eight Trigram Palm, and Taichi be called “The three major Internal Martial Arts” while other kinds of martial arts were at a lower level?
Was it because the other kinds of martial arts could not reach the Grandmaster Realm? Not really, other sects had also produced Grandmasters, and they had many practitioners.
The real difference was the difference between the Grandmasters!
The Grandmasters of the three major Internal Martial Arts were normally stronger than other Internal Martial Arts’s Grandmasters! In other Internal Martial Arts, after reaching Grandmaster Realm, you had to improve yourself step by step through practice. However, each sect of “The Three Major Internal Martial Arts” had their own particular secret skill, which could only be learned after reaching the Grandmaster Realm!
The secret skills could improve the ability of a master quickly and could only be practiced by those who reached the Grandmaster Realm.
They were Xing Yi Martial Arts’ secret skill «Godly Tiger Form Technique», Taichi’s secret skill «Boulder of the Black Tortoise» and Eight Trigram Palm’s secret skill «Dragoncarp Ascension».
«Godly Tiger Form Technique» was passed down by the Grandmaster of Xing Yi Martial Arts, Ji Jike, during the Ming Dynasty. Legend say that Grandmaster Ji Jike fostered a tiger and even slept with it. After a long period of observation, at the age of one hundred, he finally created this secret skill which surpassed the ancients and amazed his contemporaries.
When speaking of bones, tiger bones were the most famous. Tiger bone liquor nourished humans the most. Through this, one could see the power of tiger bones.
Practicing the «Godly Tiger Form Technique» was like becoming a tiger. It improved the toughness and density of one’s bones and muscles.
To practice the «Godly Tiger Form Technique», one had to reach the Grandmaster Realm and had to master the tiger form of the twelve forms. This way, one may be able to practice the «Godly Tiger Form Technique». This set of secret skills could only be learned by the core disciple of the Xing Yi Martial Arts sect.
“Let’s try it first.”
Teng Qingshan suddenly bent his body down and laid on the ground like a tiger in human form. Despite having laid on the ground, only his hands and legs touched the ground while his other body parts were not even touching the ground. The muscles in his body could not even tremble a little, he also needed to control his breathing and inner strength.
Sometimes, his back would arch slightly and sometimes bend down. His spine was like a great dragon, rising and flying low.
During the raising and lowering process of the spine, the muscles in his hands and feet were also moving.
The motions of the breathing and internal force must cooperate perfectly with the movements of the body.
The strength spread from the phalanges of the ten fingers to the arm bones, transmitting from one bone to another, spreading throughout the whole body. His breathing caused the movement of his organs. The powerful energy of the inner strength made his bones and muscles quiver. Teng Qingshan constantly made adjustments, trying his best to attain the state that was recorded in the «Godly Tiger Form Technique».
The movements seemed easy, but they were actually extremely complicated!
It was even harder than practicing the entire ‘Twelve Forms of Xing Yi.’ In regards to the details, one breathing error would lead to a wrong result, and a tiny mistake in controlling the inner strength would also lead to an erroneous result.
Countless experiments and adjustments would be performed!
The movement of the body, the function of the breathing and inner strength, the control of the muscles and bones……..
Through the cooperation of many components, adjusting again and again until it became perfect.
“Whew Whew” Teng Qingshan’s whole body actually began to emit sounds similar to the snores of a tiger. They were not really snoring, but the sound of the joints quivering and knocking against each other.
“A very marvelous feeling.”
Teng Qingshan felt as if he had transformed into a tiger that was lying down to sleep. At the beginning, he still needed to labor and toil with his mind and body, purposely controlling all of the muscles, bones, breathing, inner strength, etcetera. However, now he could naturally enter into that state.
His whole body felt numb and his bones felt itchy.
This was the feeling. As he started training himself, the day passed unknowingly.
“Hai.” Teng Qingshan got up. As he felt the strength within his whole body, his eyes brightened involuntarily, “I did not expect that a day of practice would have such great improvements. My physical fitness has improved by at least ten or twenty percent.” Teng Qingshan could distinctly feel the amount of improvement.
He also knew that usually, when one just began to practice, the improvements would be the most obvious. The longer one continued practicing, the lower the amount of the improvement would become over time.
“The Godly Tiger Form Technique created by Ji Jike is indeed marvelous. The movements seem simple, but are actually extremely complex. It was merely based on the movements of a slumbering tiger, but it is ten to a hundred times more complicated than the tiger form of the twelve forms. The figure and movement, the cooperation of breathing, the performance of the inner strength, the control of one’s muscles and bones, everything. I do not know how long Ji Jike experimented to be able to create this secret skill.”
Teng Qingshan remarked with a tinge of emotion.
Although no one knew who the first generation creator of Xing Yi Martial Arts was for certain, Ji Jike was the first generation grandmaster with the highest position in the history of Xing Yi Martial Arts. Therefore, many disciples of Xing Yi sect called him ‘Martial Ancestor Ji’
As days passed by, Teng Qingshan completely immersed himself in the Godly Tiger Form Technique. His physical fitness also improved with a shocking speed. This shocking improving speed also caused Teng Qingshan’s admiration for Martial Ancestor Ji to gradually increase.
***
Soon, half a month passed.
In this half month of practicing the Godly Tiger Form Technique, Teng Qingshan’s physical fitness improved from ten to twenty percent at first, but by the fifteenth day, the amount of improvement had decreased to the point where it was barely noticeable. However, in comparison to fifteen days ago, Teng Qingshan’s physical fitness could be said to have improved by twice as much during these fifteen days. Although his physical fitness only improved by twice as much as before, his real strength and ability improved by far more.
“I have been immersed in practicing Godly Tiger Form Technique and forgot to look for my brother Qing He.” Teng Qingshan couldn’t help but smile. In fact, at the time he escaped into China, Teng Qingshan was worried about dying in the hands of “Sharpshooter” and “Body Crusher”. Thus, he desperately desired to meet his brother “Qing He” before the fight.
Whereas now…
After reaching the Grandmaster Realm, Teng Qingshan, who had begun practicing Godly Tiger Form Technique, could be considered as someone standing at the pinnacle of the world. Compared to his strength before the breakthrough, his strength and ability were now more than ten times stronger.
Of course, Teng Qingshan did not have a sense of urgency, therefore he did not search for his brother in a hurry.
“I should find out about the situation outside first.” Teng Qingshan went into his room, turned on the computer and connected it to the network. He then contacted ‘Elena’ the same way as last time.
“Elena!” Teng Qingshan typed on the keyboard.
A moment later.
“Ah, Wolf. You finally contacted me! It’s been a month, I was worried to death about you.” From far away in London, England, Elena sat barefooted before her computer, swinging her white-skinned feet around as she typed and vented her dissatisfaction.
“I was recuperating.” Teng Qingshan smiled as he hit the keyboard.
“Well, have you recovered?” Elena asked worriedly. “The injuries have completely healed. By the way, how is the situation outside?” Teng Qingshan inquired.
An anxious expression crept upon Elena’s face as she pondered for a moment before she began typing on the keyboard: “Wolf, you are very powerful. You actually killed Sun Ze and Dolgoterov. Now you are ranked first among the list of fifty S-Rank hitmen. You are now called the ‘quasi-SS-Rank’ hitman. Are you feeling proud of yourself? However, I must to tell you some terrible news.”
“Say it.” Teng Qingshan knitted his eyebrows.
“It might be due to the rage of the Redmayne family, or the huge improvement of your ability that made the Redmayne family worried that you will seek revenge. Anyway, Redmayne paid a huge price to request the world’s strongest organization “God Kingdom” to step in. I guess that ‘Vishnu’ and ‘Shiva,’ two of the God Kingdom’s three giants, must have arrived in China by now. They should be searching for you.”
Teng Qingshan’s expression finally changed.
“Two of God Kingdom’s three giants”? Despite the improvement of his strength, Teng Qingshan also couldn’t help but feel shocked.
The three giants of the God Kingdom were claimed to be Gods! Of course, all of them were SS-Class hitmen; they were absolutely the masters of the Grandmaster Realm. Moreover, the three giants of God Kingdom had long since entered the Grandmaster Realm. A person who had entered the Grandmaster Realm years ago and a person who had just entered the Grandmaster Realm were very different.
Although Teng Qingshan’s body had doubled in strength due to the practice of the Godly Tiger Form Technique, which could take almost a lifetime to achieve for a normal Grandmaster, his enemies were two of the three giants, the invincible legends of the Underground World. Over the years, no one had been able to kill any one of them.
“This time, the Redmayne family actually requested for them to act and it was even two of them coming here together to deal with me. This is really a great honor! “ Although Teng Qingshan felt the pressure, an urge to battle also rose up from the depths of his heart.
Teng Qingshan did not know that the reason for God Kingdom to sent two of the three giants to China was because they were worried that Teng Qingshan might be a disciple of a sect located within China. If the Xing Yi sect sent Grandmasters to help Teng Qingshan during the fight, it would become incredible dangerous for the God Kingdom’s three giants. Therefore, they sent a team of two to kill Teng Qingshan.
If the two combined forces, they could attack together as they advanced and defend one another whenever they retreated. It would mean adding another level of security.
Through all the missions “God Kingdom” had accepted, there had never been a failure.


With five strikes of his axe, Emperor Yu split the mountains and unified everyone beneath the heavens. He partitioned the land into nine prefectures and erected the nine cauldrons. After Emperor Yu's death, incessant disputes arose within the Land of the Nine Prefectures. 

One thousand years later, a once-in-a-generation genius—the Heavenly Emperor of Qin Mountains—emerged from out of nowhere. With a strike of his palm, he was able to stop the motion of the 100-meter wide Yan River. With his peerless martial prowess, the Heavenly Emperor of Qin Mountains was ultimately able to unite the land beneath the heavens. However, when he died, chaos once again shrouded the Land of the Nine Prefectures. Several thousand years passed by, and still, no one was able to consolidate the nation.
 
Then the Grandmaster of the Xing Yi Martial Art—Teng Qingshan—arrived here unexpectedly from the modern world.

In the wee hours of the morning, stood a lonely mountain peak surrounded by a thick white fog that caused one's vision to become fuzzy.

"Huff~huff~"

Within a dense forest behind the mountain peak, a sudden and intense gasp sounded out. Upon taking a closer look, in an open space within the woods, a tiny figure could be seen hanging from a thick and sturdy branch using both of his hands. This tiny body borrowed the pulling force from his arms to move up and down repeatedly. As he made these movements, his body formed some strange poses; the kind of poses that utilized all the muscles in the body, exercising all of them together.

Additionally, there were a few pitch-black iron weights hanging on his arms and ankles. Sweat dripped off his clothes and onto the metal weights, causing them to likewise become dripping with wetness.

Naturally, this tiny figure was Lin Dong. Unlike his peers, he did not enjoy the luxury of wealth and riches due to his childhood circumstances, but rather his strict father taught him that the most important things for training were willpower and diligence. These things were his only advantage over the rest of his peers who were blessed with a good amount of wealth.

Sweat dripped into his eyes causing a stinging pain that made Lin Dong clench his jaw in response. He could already feel the pain stemming from extreme overexertion. At this point, most people would definitely choose to take a break and rest. However, he remembered what his father told him: that only during this time, will one be able to break through his limits. Hence...he must endure!

He absolutely must not let go!

For the Family Competition half a year later, he needed to train as if his life was on the line!

The sensation you receive as you approach your limit leaves you feeling dizzy and nauseous. Nonetheless, Lin Dong gritted his teeth and persevered on. Suddenly, he felt a strange heat gushing from within his body, and immediately this feeling refreshed him and lifted his spirits.

It was the power of the Red Ginseng!

Several days ago, the stalk of Red Ginseng was meant to be used to heal Lin Xiao's injuries. However, upon Lin Xiao insistence, it was finally delivered into Lin Dong's body.

It must be said that this kind of elixir truly provides a major boost for a low-leveled Tempered Body practitioner like Lin Dong. Within a mere few days of training, Lin Dong could clearly feel that his body had become at least twice as strong as it used to be.

However, while the Red Ginseng's provided a major boost to Lin Dong's training, the power of the elixir was not unlimited. After all, this Red Ginseng was merely a grade 1 elixir. Therefore, after five days, the effects of the elixir gradually started to dissipate.

However, as the effect of the elixir dissipated, it did not completely disappear. This was because Lin Dong's body was only at the initial stage of the strengthening process, thus it was unable to absorb all of the medicinal effects of the elixir. Hence, some of the medicinal effects remained hidden within the deepest parts of his body. Only when Lin Dong's body was pushed to the extremes, would it finally be squeezed out and devoured by his hungry body.

As the warmth of the medicinal effect slowly seep into his body, Lin Dong felt as though he could hear the countless cells in his body rejoicing together as all his fatigue and pain were gradually replaced with an invigorating energy.

"Hei…"

Lin Dong grabbed onto the tree trunk and violently flung his body, with a somersault, he flipped in the air and steadily landed on the ground. He stretched his back as all the bones in his body suddenly made popping sounds. To Lin Dong's delight, he found that his body had indeed become much tougher.

"Tempered Body 3rd Layer!"

Lin Dong gripped his tiny fists tightly as he enjoyed the power surging through his muscles, his tiny face breaking out into a smile of surprise and delight. Due to his family circumstances, ever since he started training, he had little opportunity to make use of elixirs. Thus, he did not expect that just after a single use, the results actually turned out so good.

"Hmm, not bad…"

As Lin Dong was busy celebrating his advancement, a voice echoed from beside him. He hastily turned his head to see Lin Xiao standing below a big tree, clothed in a plain attire. Furthermore, he could see a shadow of a smile emerging on Lin Xiao's usually stern face.

"Father."

Lin Dong excitedly proclaimed when he saw Lin Xiao who was standing beside the tree.

Lin Xiao nodded his head as he approached Lin Dong. Scanning his son's body, a rare smile finally emerged as he said: "Tempered Body 3rd Layer, not bad."

"It was all thanks to the Red Ginseng", Lin Dong chuckled as he dipped and shook his head.

"The Red Ginseng is merely a grade 1 elixir, even if others consumed it, it will still take them at least one or two months to advance the Tempered Body from the 2nd to the 3rd Layer. This is the result of your hard work and training." Lin Xiao softly sighed as he gazed at Lin Dong who was standing before him. He had naturally noticed how hard Lin Dong was pushing himself during this period of time. Several times, he would see his wife tearing up and even though he did not say anything, as Lin Dong's father, he nonetheless felt some heart-ache.

He understood that the reason why Lin Dong was training so incessantly was because he desired to achieve a good result in the upcoming annual Family Competition that was half a year away. This would restore some of his father's honor and reputation in the Lin Family.

Lin Dong grinned happily as he felt that all his hard work and effort after all this time had finally bore some fruit. He felt that he was catching up to the top students in the Lin Family.

"You can throw away the iron weights now. Since you have already mastered Tempered Body 3rd Layer, you are now just eligible to train in martial arts. Let me impart a set of fist techniques to you." Lin Xiao said.

Upon hearing this news, Lin Dong's jet-black eyes immediately lit up. Even though he had finally reached Tempered Body 3rd Layer, he did not know any techniques at all, and when he fought with others, he could only rely on brute force. Therefore, in his heart, he was very eager to learn these martial arts in order to boost his fighting potential. However, because of the temperament of his father's body, Lin Xiao had yet to teach him any martial arts. Now that his chance has finally arrived, he was naturally ecstatic.

"All the martial arts in the world can be classified into nine levels and three categories. The levels 1,2 and 3 belong to the lower category while the levels 7,8 and 9 belong

to the top category and the rest belong to the middle category. What I am about to teach you is a lower category, level 1 fist technique, termed as the "Penetrating Fist." Lin Xiao explained.

Lin Dong nodded his head, he did not feel upset even though he was only learning a lower category, level 1 fist technique. He understood that you need to take things step by step, and that for most people, it was already a great opportunity to learn a level 1 martial arts skill. It is said that within the Lin Family, the highest martial arts was merely a level 4 martial arts skill and this was obtained by grandpa from the Hidden Scripture Pavilion through chance when he was still a inner circle member of the Lin Clan.

"Even though martial arts have different levels, the most important part lies in the user himself. In the hands of a strong user, even a level 1 martial arts skill can become a powerful and deadly force. Therefore, the stronger one's body is, the more powerful the martial arts' attacks become." Lin Xiao extended his palm and signalled to Lin Dong: "Come, use all your strength and your greatest speed to attack me."

Lin Dong blinked his eyes, as he discarded the iron weights strapped on his wrist, before dashing forward to deliver a punch at Lin Xiao.

As he faced Lin Dong's full-power blow, Lin Xiao merely stretched forth his hand, and deftly slid his palm across Lin Dong's sleeves. A crisp crackling sound then followed before Lin Dong jumped in pain. Gritting his teeth, he hastily rolled up his sleeves only to discover that his entire arm had turned red.

"Penetrating Fist requires one to exert force while sticking closely to one's clothes. If I had exerted more force or even used a trace of Yuan power, your whole arm including your bones will be completely shattered." Lin Xiao casually followed up: " In order to master Penetrating Fist, you need to train with your clothes. Since this martial art emphasizes on exerting force while sticking closely to one's clothes, when you are training in this skill, the clothes that stick to your body will produce a sound as well. There are a total of 9 forms for this skill, also known as the 9 echoes. This is because when you use each form, a crisp sound will echo out. And as each form is used in succession and the 9 echoes eventually all sound out, its power can even be comparable to that of a level 2 martial arts skill."

"You had better watch closely and memorize all nine forms closely!"

With a low shout, Lin Xiao stretched out his limbs and positioned his stance, seeming as fierce as a tiger. And when he exerted his moves, it looked as agile as a monkey. A series of crisp crackling sounds continuously sounded out from his clothes.

Lin Dong gazed attentively as Lin Xiao's fists danced around, his mind concentrated solely on the sight before him. Everything else was ignored, and all that was reflected in his eyes was this set of fist technique!

Because he was teaching Lin Dong, Lin Xiao purposely slowed down and repeated each move a few times. Finally he gently slowed to a halt and turned to face Lin Dong, asking: "Have you memorized it?"

Lin Dong muttered to himself for a while before nodding his head, somewhat unsure.

"Oh? Why don't you show me?"

Astonishment streaked across Lin Xiao's face, although he had slowed his speed by quite a bit, these 9 forms of the Penetrating Fist were not extremely easy to learn.  Moreover, this was Lin Dong's first ever contact with martial arts, could he have actually managed to memorise it so quickly?

As if he could sense Lin Xiao's astonishment, Lin Dong took two steps forward, and extended both both fists outwards before he performed a set of forms, though in a shoddy and slow manner.

A smither of delight emerged on Lin Xiao's face as he stood to one side and witnessed his son go through all 9 forms of the Penetrating Fist. Even though his performance was very amateurish and carried little substance, his accomplishment was still impressive especially considering that this was his first ever exposure to the Penetrating Fist. Moreover, this also demonstrated that he was a gifted and talented learner. Upon discovery of this fact, Lin Xiao felt overjoyed as he realized his son had inherited the kind of potential that he had at that age.

"Father, why is it that when I use the Penetrating Fist, there isn't even a single sound?" Lin Dong helplessly asked as he completed  another set of forms in shoddy and slow manner.

"You little brat, if it were so easy to produce a sound, then this set of moves would not live up to its name." Lin Xiao chided before continuing: "Remember that as you train, carefully feel your power flowing. As long as you can make your clothes follow your power and not the other way around, then you would be considered to have successfully learnt this set of moves. Come, try a few more times."

Lin Dong's mouth chanted these words a few times before he tried to turn theory into action as he drilled. Meanwhile, Lin Xiao stood beside him, while occasionally pointing out some mistakes or slipups.

On the vacant land in the woods, a figure of a boy continuously danced about. Even as sweat sprayed his body, it did not distract him even the slightest bit, as his tiny face remained especially serious.

The afternoon quickly passed as Lin Dong continuously practiced without rest, and his efforts was not for naught. Lin Dong gradually became more proficient at the 9 forms of the Penetrating Fist and although he was still unable to produce any sounds, his attitude did not waver at all.

"Let today's training end here, you can resume your practice tomorrow." Lin Xiao suddenly said as he glanced to the sky before turning back to look at Lin Dong who was perspiring profusely. The amount of dedication and persistence the latter had displayed in his training had caused even him to be somewhat moved. Soon after, he secretly sighed as he moaned the fact that his many years of dispiritedness had forced his child to mature a lot faster than normal.

"En, Father please go back to rest first,  let me stay just a little longer before returning home." Lin Dong replied, his fists did not stop as he concentrated on following Lin Xiao's instructions to feel the tiny movements and changes in the power flowing through his muscles.

In response, Lin Xiao could only helplessly shake his head. Lin Dong's improvement was very distinct, but to cause a sound with the Penetrating Fist was not easy, Lin Xiao had previously trained for a whole week before he finally succeeded.

Quickly informing Lin Dong that he was leaving, Lin Xiao turned around with his hands at his back. As he turned, a smiling expression surfaced on his face, the perceptive ability that Lin Dong displayed today caused him to be extremely satisfied.

"This child is unusually perceptive and possesses an unrelenting willpower that even surpasses me at my prime, this shouldn't be too difficult for him..."

"Pa!"

As this thought flashed across Lin Xiao's mind, a loud, clear and crisp 'Pa' sound abruptly sounded out from behind. Immediately, his face went rigid as he staggered forward. Yet, at this moment, a bright light sparkled in his eyes.

"It appears that it was not too difficult but a rather easy matter for him to accomplish ..."

He understood that you need to take things step by step, and that for most people, it was already a great opportunity to learn a level 1 martial arts skill. It is said that within the Lin Family, the highest martial arts was merely a level 4 martial arts skill and this was obtained by grandpa from the Hidden Scripture Pavilion through chance when he was still a inner circle member of the Lin Clan.

"Even though martial arts have different levels, the most important part lies in the user himself. In the hands of a strong user, even a level 1 martial arts skill can become a powerful and deadly force. Therefore, the stronger one's body is, the more powerful the martial arts' attacks become." Lin Xiao extended his palm and signalled to Lin Dong: "Come, use all your strength and your greatest speed to attack me."

Lin Dong blinked his eyes, as he discarded the iron weights strapped on his wrist, before dashing forward to deliver a punch at Lin Xiao.

As he faced Lin Dong's full-power blow, Lin Xiao merely stretched forth his hand, and deftly slid his palm across Lin Dong's sleeves. A crisp crackling sound then followed before Lin Dong jumped in pain. Gritting his teeth, he hastily rolled up his sleeves only to discover that his entire arm had turned red.

"Penetrating Fist requires one to exert force while sticking closely to one's clothes. If I had exerted more force or even used a trace of Yuan power, your whole arm including your bones will be completely shattered." Lin Xiao casually followed up: " In order to master Penetrating Fist, you need to train with your clothes. Since this martial art emphasizes on exerting force while sticking closely to one's clothes, when you are training in this skill, the clothes that stick to your body will produce a sound as well. There are a total of 9 forms for this skill, also known as the 9 echoes. This is because when you use each form, a crisp sound will echo out. And as each form is used in succession and the 9 echoes eventually all sound out, its power can even be comparable to that of a level 2 martial arts skill."

"You had better watch closely and memorize all nine forms closely!"

With a low shout, Lin Xiao stretched out his limbs and positioned his stance, seeming as fierce as a tiger. And when he exerted his moves, it looked as agile as a monkey. A series of crisp crackling sounds continuously sounded out from his clothes.

Lin Dong gazed attentively as Lin Xiao's fists danced around, his mind concentrated solely on the sight before him. Everything else was ignored, and all that was reflected in his eyes was this set of fist technique!

Because he was teaching Lin Dong, Lin Xiao purposely slowed down and repeated each move a few times. Finally he gently slowed to a halt and turned to face Lin Dong, asking: "Have you memorized it?"

Lin Dong muttered to himself for a while before nodding his head, somewhat unsure.

"Oh? Why don't you show me?"

Astonishment streaked across Lin Xiao's face, although he had slowed his speed by quite a bit, these 9 forms of the Penetrating Fist were not extremely easy to learn.  Moreover, this was Lin Dong's first ever contact with martial arts, could he have actually managed to memorise it so quickly?

As if he could sense Lin Xiao's astonishment, Lin Dong took two steps forward, and extended both both fists outwards before he performed a set of forms, though in a shoddy and slow manner.

A smither of delight emerged on Lin Xiao's face as he stood to one side and witnessed his son go through all 9 forms of the Penetrating Fist. Even though his performance was very amateurish and carried little substance, his accomplishment was still impressive especially considering that this was his first ever exposure to the Penetrating Fist. Moreover, this also demonstrated that he was a gifted and talented learner. Upon discovery of this fact, Lin Xiao felt overjoyed as he realized his son had inherited the kind of potential that he had at that age.

"Father, why is it that when I use the Penetrating Fist, there isn't even a single sound?" Lin Dong helplessly asked as he completed  another set of forms in shoddy and slow manner.

"You little brat, if it were so easy to produce a sound, then this set of moves would not live up to its name." Lin Xiao chided before continuing: "Remember that as you train, carefully feel your power flowing. As long as you can make your clothes follow your power and not the other way around, then you would be considered to have successfully learnt this set of moves. Come, try a few more times."

Lin Dong's mouth chanted these words a few times before he tried to turn theory into action as he drilled. Meanwhile, Lin Xiao stood beside him, while occasionally pointing out some mistakes or slipups.

On the vacant land in the woods, a figure of a boy continuously danced about. Even as sweat sprayed his body, it did not distract him even the slightest bit, as his tiny face remained especially serious.

The afternoon quickly passed as Lin Dong continuously practiced without rest, and his efforts was not for naught. Lin Dong gradually became more proficient at the 9 forms of the Penetrating Fist and although he was still unable to produce any sounds, his attitude did not waver at all.

"Let today's training end here, you can resume your practice tomorrow." Lin Xiao suddenly said as he glanced to the sky before turning back to look at Lin Dong who was perspiring profusely. The amount of dedication and persistence the latter had displayed in his training had caused even him to be somewhat moved. Soon after, he secretly sighed as he moaned the fact that his many years of dispiritedness had forced his child to mature a lot faster than normal.

"En, Father please go back to rest first,  let me stay just a little longer before returning home." Lin Dong replied, his fists did not stop as he concentrated on following Lin Xiao's instructions to feel the tiny movements and changes in the power flowing through his muscles.

In response, Lin Xiao could only helplessly shake his head. Lin Dong's improvement was very distinct, but to cause a sound with the Penetrating Fist was not easy, Lin Xiao had previously trained for a whole week before he finally succeeded.

Quickly informing Lin Dong that he was leaving, Lin Xiao turned around with his hands at his back. As he turned, a smiling expression surfaced on his face, the perceptive ability that Lin Dong displayed today caused him to be extremely satisfied.

"This child is unusually perceptive and possesses an unrelenting willpower that even surpasses me at my prime, this shouldn't be too difficult for him..."

"Pa!"

As this thought flashed across Lin Xiao's mind, a loud, clear and crisp 'Pa' sound abruptly sounded out from behind. Immediately, his face went rigid as he staggered forward. Yet, at this moment, a bright light sparkled in his eyes.

"It appears that it was not too difficult but a rather easy matter for him to accomplish ..."

The Nine Lives Helix—created by Fang Xingjian—imitated this world's consciousness, heaven-blessed cultivators, and the structure of the Tiangang Disha system.
He separated each of his martial technique into individual portions, forming new clones that were a little similar to many heaven-blessed cultivators.
Each martial technique was a new martial art life form. They existed concurrently and were connected with each other, yet they could also not interfere with each other. The martial arts life forms were like the shadows belonging to a single object but cast in different directions.
This meant that he would usually appear as a martial arts life form while the other martial arts life forms underwent cultivation in a high-dimensional world.
These were just like projected shadows. The sun shone down on the human body, but the created shadows would only ever be able to reveal a portion of the truth. Shadows would never be able to display all the sides of the real body.
It was the same for the Nine Lives Helix. All of Fang Xingjian's martial art life forms were in fact deposited in the high-dimensional world to cultivate while he would display only a few martial arts life forms in the material world. Those were just his projections.
The projections were very similar to him, but in the end, they were not the complete version of himself.
Through this, he could just cast another one after each martial art projection was killed.
The four martial techniques—the Celestial Eradication Sword Technique, Heart Sword Path, Royal Heavenly Great Art, and high-dimensional sword arts—each took the form of a projection.
It was only by wiping out all four projections that it would be possible to really stop the interference Fang Xingjian had placed in the material world. This would continue until Fang Xingjian managed to accumulate enough powers to create new projections.
The existence of the high-dimensional could be like many spiral drill bits. They would exist by piercing into every world's higher dimensions, as well as connecting the many consciousness through Dragon Qis.
Therefore, once he successfully cultivated the Nine Lives Helix, Fang Xingjian's actual body could exist in the high-dimensional world through the connection of the Dragon Qis to tap into the group consciousness. Ordinary three-dimensional existences would not be able to come into contact with him.
Once his projections were wiped out, he would temporarily lose the ability to interfere with the material world. Once the connection of the Dragon Qis were cut off, he would be expelled out from the high-dimensional world.
The Nine Lives Helix itself was also an extremely complicated martial technique that included many systems and ideas, including the world, space-time, consciousness, Dragon Qi, dimensions, and lives.
From the connection between martial art projections, high-dimensional Sword Realm, Dragon Qi, and group consciousness to the in-depth understanding of the world's consciousness and world's foundational origin... The Nine Lives Helix was extremely deep and profound. It was a martial technique that one would not be able to cultivate successfully even after spending several hundred or thousand of years if they did not have a heaven-defying aptitude.
However, once Fang Xingjian managed to cultivate the Nine Lives Helix, he could be said to possess a vitality that was almost like an immortal's. As long as the other party did not possess the ability to interfere with the high-dimensional worlds, they would not be able to attack his actual body or cut off his connection with the world and with the group consciousness. On Fang Xingjian's end, he would be able to endlessly absorb all sorts of energies and Dragon Qis from the world to recover and cultivate, creating projections time and time again to interfere with the material world that was at a lower dimension.
This state was as if he had become a part of the world's circulation system.
It was also the reason why he had created the Nine Lives Helix. Not only was it to increase his high-dimensional battle prowess and get closer to the world's origin which was the source of all life consciousness but it was also to fend off the curse on his body that left him only with a lifespan of five years.
The helix that Fang Xingjian turned into became intermittently visible, as if existing between the illusionary and true realities. As the spiral's spin became increasingly faster and wider, the tip seemed to suddenly charged into a place that was hard to describe.
It was the source of countless consciousness, where all lives in the world were gathered.
With the connection to a hint of Dragon Qi, Fang Xingjian entered the group consciousness of this world.
The group consciousness was the place where all lives that possessed consciousness gathered. This place did not exist within a certain place in the material world but at a higher-dimensional point in the world instead.
The waves emitted by countless consciousness gathered together. They were like the entire planet's magnetic field, jointly producing all sorts of influence into the world. The entire world was like an extremely small dot to them, and right now, Fang Xingjian relied on the Royal Heavenly Great Art's Dragon Qi to enter the group consciousness.
So, he entered this world, which was also in fact the core of the Tiangang Disha system.
At this moment, a connection between the high-dimensional Sword Realm and group consciousness was forged, and the first step to the Nine Lives Helix was achieved.
...
Ten days later, Fang Xingjian sat cross-legged in the secret room that was located in the greatest depth of the arsenal. There were four streams of sword light circling and flashing about occasionally.
Right now, the projection that he cast in the material world was the Celestial Eradication Sword Technique's martial art projection. The other projections were continuing their cultivation in the high-dimensional Sword Realm, silently engulfing all sorts of energies and Dragon Qi from this world.
'The Nine Lives Helix has become rooted in this world's group consciousness. As long as the Dragon Qi connection isn't cut off, I'll be able to create projections in this world. Each of their moves will be able to enjoy the reinforcements from the group consciousness... It'll be like a different kind of heaven-blessed cultivator.'
Through the research he had conducted on this world using the Royal Heavenly Great Art and high-dimensional sword arts, Fang Xingjian had finally made use of the Nine Lives Helix to enter deep into this world's group consciousness.
However, this world was different from the ordinary natural world after all. Other than the group consciousness, it still possessed its own consciousness—the giant's consciousness.
This world's group consciousness had also been modified by the giant and formed the Tiangang Disha system.
'Is this sensation what they mean by reinforced by heaven's will?' Fang Xingjian slowly grasped the sensation he was feeling. A feeling like he was controlling the hearts of everyone in the world, as well as its future trends, gushed into his heart.
'Amongst the lives with consciousness in this world, humans are still the focus. Grasping the hearts of the people is done through deeply rooting the Nine Lives Helix into this world's group consciousness, which is also at the high-dimensional world.'
Other than the three known dimensions, there were also many other dimensions in the world which humans found hard to detect. Some of them involved time while others involved space, and there were also those that humans could not understand at all. The expansion of the universe was also due to the constant expansion of the higher dimensions.
With the increased number of lives, the group consciousness—a unique higher dimension—was also formed.
Right now, Fang Xingjian was using the Nine Lives Helix to dart into the depths of the group consciousness. Countless lives' consciousness flashed past before his eyes.
At this moment, Fang Xingjian had a strong feeling that the ability to control the world, grasp people's hearts, and guide the future was a lot deeper and more unfathomable than the various destructive abilities which the martial art projections in the material world possessed.
Clenching his fingers and sensing the powers contained within his projections, Fang Xingjian estimated that the powers of this Celestial Eradication Sword Technique martial art projection still had a martial will of about 8,500 points. There was not any difference from the past.
This was also due to the fact that the Nine Lives Helix was not a technique that directly increased the cultivator's powers. Instead, it was a method to change the basic essence of his life.


“Obtaining the topmost degree of talent in sword arts in the world requires giving up 72 years of lifespan, which leaves you with only five more years of your life. At the same time, you will never be able to feel love, kinship, and friendship, and you’ll end up leading a lonely life until your death, unable to procreate, or to have any descendants.

“From now onwards, everything related to happiness in the human world shall no longer be of your concern. Are you willing to accept this?”

“Hahahaha, I’m already alone bereft of all support, my hopes dashed to pieces, shouldering only absolutely irreconcilable grudge and hatred, why would I disagree? Why would I not want it? I couldn’t ask for anything better!!”

His sword sweeps across the Divine Continent for seven days and nights, moving 90,000 miles through the starry skies, unhindered.

He slays saints and buddhas in Heaven, slaughters demons and devils in Hell, sweeping away all the grievances in his heart!
