20. Powerful Martial Arts

Yes, for the sake of everyone's physical and mental well-being, the process has once again been omitted.

You're welcome.

Please feel free to imagine the rest yourself.

…

"System, one more lottery draw!"

Great Eagle City, Eagle Martial Dojo.

In the backyard.

After browsing through the system shop, Chen Xuan decided that the lottery was more exciting!

He decided to continue drawing.

High risk leads to high reward.

[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have acquired the lower-tier martial art: Dragon-Grasping Hand.]

Why not call it Snake-Grasping Hand?

Chen Xuan was speechless. "System, draw again!"

[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have acquired the upper-tier martial art: Grabbing Hand.]

Grabbing Hand?

Alright, alright, it must mean "Grabbing Milk," right?

Chen Xuan checked the system interface and found that his accumulated emotion points had reached over 10,000.

After pondering for a moment, he decided to go big.

Thus, Chen Xuan spoke in a deep voice: "System, activate ten consecutive draws!"

[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have acquired the upper-tier martial art: Snow-Sweeping Hand.]

[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have acquired the upper-tier martial art: Golden Iron Finger.]

[Ding! …]

…

[Ding! Thank you for participating, please try again.]

[Ding! Thank you for participating, please try again.]

…

Watching the consecutive "thank you for participating" messages, Chen Xuan was left numb.

This broken system.

Can't it give me something useful?

In the next moment.

Finally, the last draw paid off!

[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have acquired the Heaven-tier martial art: Kaio-Ken!]

Kaio-Ken?

Chen Xuan immediately sat up in bed.

Could it be the one from Dragon Ball?

With a sense of unease, he found the corresponding option and clicked to view the details.

Kaio-Ken: From the anime Dragon Ball, a technique that can temporarily multiply the user's power several times or even dozens of times. It can increase the user's physical limit by up to 100 times.

After reading the description, Chen Xuan jumped up.

With this martial art…

In the future, if he encounters an opponent stronger than himself, he could instantly crush them with this technique!

The only thing to be cautious about is the significant negative impact this move has on the body.

Unless absolutely necessary, it shouldn't be used at its maximum potential!

Otherwise, the body might collapse.

Just for this move alone, Chen Xuan felt that the emotion points spent—more than a thousand—were absolutely worth it.

As for techniques like Snow-Sweeping Hand, Golden Iron Finger, and Grabbing Hand, though they were upper-tier martial arts, just from the names, they didn't sound very serious.

Out of curiosity, Chen Xuan still took a look.

But before he could study them closely, Jiang Xue walked in.

Chen Xuan put away the martial arts techniques and stood up.

Naturally, he walked over and wrapped his arm around her slender waist.

"Xue'er, you came at the right time. I have a good martial art here. Are you interested in learning it?"

Jiang Xue allowed him to hold her and tilted her head to ask, "What martial art?"

"An upper-tier martial art, the Dragon-Grasping Hand!"

As he spoke, Chen Xuan took out a booklet and handed it to Jiang Xue.

"Dragon-Grasping Hand? What a powerful name."

Looking at the manual in her hand, Jiang Xue couldn't help but marvel.

On the Tianxuan Continent, she had heard that dragons were the dominant creatures in the demon realm.

For someone to create a martial art for grasping dragons—it must be incredibly powerful!

She eagerly began to read the manual while still in Chen Xuan's embrace.

However, as she flipped further into the manual, her face gradually turned red.

Even her breathing became somewhat irregular.

Seeing her unusual reaction, Chen Xuan asked, "Xue'er, what's wrong? Why are you turning red and breathing heavily just from reading a martial arts manual?"

"Brother Xuan, this technique… it's truly incredible!"

Jiang Xue hesitated but didn't voice her confusion.

This martial art…

Why does it feel a little indecent?

And yet, the manual was full of instructions on how the practitioner should grab the evil dragon and defeat it, forcing it to submit.

There wasn't a single flaw!

Chen Xuan patted her slender waist.

"If it's that amazing, then make sure to practice diligently. Later on, I'll test your progress!"

With that, he playfully patted her behind. "If you don't practice properly, I'll have to spank you!"

"Ah?"

"No more 'ah.' Go practice now. If you run into any problems, just come ask me!"

"O-okay."

Jiang Xue blushed, put away the manual, and left.

After Jiang Xue left, Chen Xuan departed from Great Eagle City.

He arrived in the sky above the Misty Forest.

Looking down at the formation he had set up earlier.

Below, a man, a beast, and a spirit were in a state of exhaustion.

This strange combination was none other than Lin Dong and his companions.

At the moment, Lin Dong was covered in blood, and his body was riddled with wounds.

Even the fire python tiger, Little Flame, was gravely injured.

The spirit of the marten, Little Marten, had also become much more transparent.

Not far from them, a massive Mist Crocodile Leopard King was staring at them, poised to strike at any moment.

"Little Marten, I've finally figured it out. This beast plans to trap us here forever."

Lin Dong wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes full of frustration.

These past few days…

As long as they didn't try to escape the area, the Mist Crocodile Leopard King wouldn't attack.

But the moment they tried to leave, the Mist Crocodile Leopard King would summon hordes of beasts to beat them down.

If the summoned beasts couldn't handle it, the king itself would join the fray!

With its thick skin and spirit attacks, combined with their inability to leave the area, Lin Dong was becoming increasingly frustrated.

Even Little Marten had no solution.

He had tried multiple times to break the illusionary formation, but all had failed.

His own energy was now heavily depleted.

If things continued like this, even Little Marten would soon be unable to hold on.

Little Marten guessed, "It looks like it's acting on someone's orders!"

Lin Dong clenched his fists and cursed, "It must be Wang Yan who hired someone to do this! That bastard has trapped us here for so long. Damn it!"

At this moment, he deeply regretted not killing Wang Yan back in the Tianyan Mountains!

That would have prevented all of this.

Little Marten floated in the air, with his two furry paws on his hips.

"Hmph! If it were back in the day, I could've broken this formation with just one finger!"

"Don't brag about past glories."

"Kid, I'm telling the truth! One day, I'll show you how powerful I really am!"

"Alright, alright, I believe you. But the question is, how do we get out of here now? We can't stay trapped here forever!"

Lin Dong spread his hands helplessly.

[Ding! Lin Dong feels helpless. Emotion points +100]

[Ding! Little Marten feels cautious. Emotion points +100]

Little Marten looked around.

He couldn't shake the feeling that they were being watched.

But he couldn't see anyone.

After pondering for a moment, Little Marten suddenly said, "Lin Dong, I think I have a way out."

Lin Dong was overjoyed. "What's the plan?"

"Be careful, we might have eavesdroppers. Come closer, and I'll tell you."

After Lin Dong moved closer, Little Marten whispered, "We just need to…"

Lin Dong listened carefully, and his expression grew more and more excited.

Throughout, he kept nodding, clearly impressed with Little Marten's plan.
