The martial arts manuals of the Ferocious Tiger Fist Dojo were stored in the underground armory.
The armory had a total of three levels.
The items on the first level were very random. There were medicinal herbs, food, meat, pills, weapons, protective equipment, and so on.
Zhou You had been here before.
After the apothecary finished refining, the pills that had not been distributed and sold would be stored here first.
The security on this floor was not very strict. Many inner courtyard disciples had come in before.
The second level was martial arts manuals and treasures.
This floor was an important place for the dojo. Even Lu Chuanfeng could not make a decision on his own. He still needed the permission of the three uncle-masters to enter.
Zhou You had thought about coming before, but he had never found a good opportunity.
Only Lu Chuanfeng, his son, and his three uncle-masters could enter the third level. They placed precious resources and medicinal pills from the Five Tigers Sect here.
Upon reaching the second level, Zhou You's eyes lit up.
At a glance, there were dozens of boxes.
Some of the chests were half-open, and shiny gold and silver could be seen inside.
Although silver notes were very convenient, many rich families still liked to store a large amount of gold and silver. It looked more reliable.
Behind these boxes, there was a small room. It was not big, about four to five meters long and wide.
"You'er, the martial arts manuals collected by Ferocious Tiger Fist Dojo are all inside. Go take a look yourself. I won't accompany you anymore."
"If you need money, tell me. Don't touch anything outside. People take inventory every day."
"Yes, Master."
Zhou You strode forward and entered the small room.
Previously, Lu Chuanfeng had instructed that martial arts manuals could not be brought out and could not be copied. They could only be read in the armory.
There was only one day left. He had to hurry.
Under normal circumstances, it would take a day to memorize a martial art.
As soon as he entered the small room, he quickly scanned the books on the shelves. Zhou You was a little disappointed.
There were only 15 to 16 martial arts manuals stored here.
Among them, there were five internal force martial arts manuals and more than ten basic martial arts techniques.
After quickly looking at the names of a few internal force martial arts, Zhou You had a vague guess.
There should be more martial arts manuals in the Ferocious Tiger Fist Dojo, but even if they obtained martial arts manuals from other sects and aristocratic families, they could not let their disciples cultivate them openly.
Only the martial arts of the sects and aristocratic families that had already declined and been destroyed, as well as the martial arts created by the ancestors of their sects, could be displayed openly.
Zhou You picked up a copy of the Golden Swallow Technique and began to read it carefully.
Nearly an hour later, Zhou You opened the interface to take a look. He put down the Golden Swallow Technique and picked up another book.
Zhou You only needed half an hour to read and grasp an internal force martial arts technique. It got recorded on the interface.
Basic martial arts could be recorded in less than ten minutes.
In less than six hours, Zhou You had already recorded all 16 martial arts on the interface. He walked out of the small room and left the armory.
Today, he recorded 16 martial arts manuals. Zhou You did not have to worry about not having any martial arts to cultivate for a long time.
Also, it also broadened his horizons and deepened his understanding of martial arts.
Internal force was a relative control of strength.
When practicing martial arts, one would gather the scattered power floating on the surface of the body and direct them to certain parts of the body to form internal force.
According to the direction of martial arts cultivation, the body parts where internal force gathered were also different.
For example, in the Green Snake Fist, internal force gathered in the palm of the hand.
In Gale Phantom Kick, internal force gathered on his legs.
When practicing Ferocious Tiger Fist, internal force gathered in his hands and legs, shoulders, elbows, knees, and so on.
In the Iron Skin Technique, internal force gathered in most of the skin on the surface of his body.
Other than the different body parts where internal force gathered, the level of martial arts was determined by the strength of the internal force gathered.
The more body parts were involved in cultivation, the stronger the internal force cultivated and the stronger the aftereffects.
Although the Ferocious Tiger Fist was called a fist technique, it actually involved almost the entire body. The internal force was fierce and long.
Other martial arts that specialized in fists, kicks, fingers, and palms might be comparable to the Ferocious Tiger Fist in a short period of time or even suppress it, but they were not strong enough to fight for a long time.
The Ferocious Tiger Fist was not the most powerful internal force martial art, but it was one of the most comprehensive martial arts to train the body.
The Iron Skin Technique actually had a follow-up cultivation method. For some reason, after the basic Iron Skin Technique was cultivated to Perfection, there was no follow-up cultivation method.
After much consideration, Zhou You could only think that the Iron Skin Technique was a special martial art.
Special martial arts required special external stimulation, such as medicine, extreme environments, extreme emotions, and other conditions that ordinary people did not have. Only a few people could cultivate martial arts.
Simply put, there was a very high threshold for cultivation.
After understanding this, Zhou You was a little curious. What were the requirements for the follow-up cultivation technique of the Iron Skin Technique?
...
Meanwhile, at night.
After cultivating the Ferocious Tiger Fist for three hours, Zhou You still had a lot of energy and began to cultivate the Golden Swallow Technique.
The Golden Swallow Technique was an internal force martial art. After cultivating it, one's body would be as light as a swallow. They could fly on roofs and walk on walls as if they were on flat ground. They could glide dozens of meters with a single step.
Zhou You constantly adjusted his posture and began to cultivate the Golden Swallow Technique.
The Golden Swallow Technique had a total of three levels: Light Body, Instant Step, and Wind Riding.
Before that, there was a basic stage as usual.
Other than a few special martial arts, there was no difference in the internal force cultivated from other martial arts.
This made Zhou You think of a possibility.
If his physical condition had already reached the first level of the Golden Swallow Technique, could he skip the basic stage of cultivation?
After trying hard, Zhou You realized that… he couldn't.
However, there was an additional joy.
Golden Swallow Technique (Master) (0/5)
This proficiency was far lower than the Ferocious Tiger Fist and was even on the same level as the Green Snake Fist.
It was obvious that it did not match the level of the Golden Swallow Technique.
"As my strength increases and my body continues to become stronger, the difficulty of cultivating other martial arts is rapidly decreasing!"
It was easy to come to a conclusion.
Perhaps, when his realm was high enough, he would be able to completely master the basic martial arts with a casual glance.
Golden Swallow Technique's compatibility was only 25%.
Zhou You was not too disappointed. He settled down and began to cultivate the Golden Swallow Technique.
The basic stage of cultivation did not involve internal force. For the current Zhou You, cultivating continuously for a few hours would not be tiring.
He simply did not rest and continued cultivating.
Three hours later.
Zhou You let out a long breath and stopped cultivating.
He opened the interface and took a look.
Golden Swallow Technique (Level 1) (0/500)
The basic parts of internal force martial arts were only at the Master and Greater Mastery stages.
In just over three hours, Zhou You had cultivated the Golden Swallow Technique to the first level.
Recalling the cultivation method of the first level, Zhou You took a deep breath and slowly exhaled according to a unique rhythm. A strange feeling surged in his heart.
It was as if streams of air were expelled from his body. They were endless, and his entire body suddenly became much lighter.
Zhou You's eyes lit up. He took small steps and suddenly ran forward.
Whoosh!
In less than a breath, Zhou You had already run to the end of the courtyard.
Seeing that he was about to hit the wall, Zhou You did not panic at all. His legs moved quickly and he actually ran up the wall.
Just as he was about to reach the two-meter-tall wall, Zhou You suddenly turned around and jogged diagonally across the wall.
After running seven to eight meters in one breath, Zhou You finally felt the momentum of his fall. He flipped over and landed steadily on the ground, his face filled with joy.
With his current strength, he could reach out and prop himself up or leap up the courtyard wall with his legs.
However, it was definitely not as relaxed and quiet as it was now.
Running diagonally across the wall was even more impossible.
"The Golden Swallow Technique. I've only just entered the Light Body Stage, but I can already fly over roofs and walk on walls!"
The effect was stronger than expected.
Zhou You could only attribute it to his strength at the later stage of Body Forging.
He opened the interface and gained 1 Martial Arts Point. Without hesitation, he added it to his Affinity.
Affinity: 7.
