The efficacy of the second level Cross Training Talent goes without saying.

Enhancing his Cross Training Martial Arts Talent was exactly what Lu Chenzhou needed most. Unlike other Martial Arts, Cross Training directly improved "Talent" rather than "comprehension".

Combining Mr. Chen’s popular science on Cross Training,

Lu Chenzhou speculated that Cross Training Martial Arts did not have high requirements for so-called comprehension. It had its own system of Cross Training Talent, distinct from the root bone comprehension of Inner Boxing.

However, compared with Inner Boxing, Cross Training was less systematic, had fewer cultivators, and throughout ancient and modern times, there were even fewer who achieved Great Success, so the Martial Arts Association had not yet been able to fathom which specific attributes made up Cross Training Talent, preventing the launch of a public screening test. As for the idea of having the entire population practice Hard Qigong to judge Talent based on progression, it was even less realistic.

Moreover, with the rapid development of human technology, bulletproof vests and protective gear could replace the function of Hard Qigong. With all these challenges combined, Hard Qigong was phased out.

The efficient Inner Boxing was the true path to power.

Lu Chenzhou mused to himself,

"It seems that Da Xia must have a lot of Cross Training geniuses who have been buried."

There was no helping it. It was only recently, since the establishment of the new Da Xia, that Martial Arts had truly begun systematic development. The Martial Arts System of old was even more obscure. Different Sects couldn’t even agree on the naming conventions for Martial Arts Realms.

Therefore, after the establishment of new Da Xia, the first thing they did was to establish the Martial Arts Association, bit by bit breaking down the barriers of noble families and Sects, standardizing Martial Arts Realms and terminology, and transforming the ancient Martial Arts in a more modern way.

It proved to be an outstandingly effective approach.

The speed and limits for the emergence of Martial Arts powerhouses continued to grow.

In short, Martial Arts was constantly changing and developing.

One day, Cross Training might rise, depending on whether someone could integrate the strengths of various Cross Training Martial Arts, combine ancient and modern techniques, and with Great Wisdom, establish the framework!

The last "Angry Eyes" was an unexpected pleasure.

"It looks like this is another technique that utilizes qi," Lu Chenzhou thought. "Black Tiger Fist trains Evil Qi, while Arhat Skill cultivates Anger, which has the same effect of intimidating the enemy. More importantly, like ’Tiger Roar’, it can inflict True injuries on Void Things. Although both are minor, the total effect builds up over time, and one day, I may not even need to lift a finger. With just a Vajra Glaring and a fierce Tiger Roar, I could annihilate demons and monsters!"

Lu Chenzhou was in high spirits.

Arhat Skill, awesome!

He couldn’t imagine how incredible the Golden Body Skill must be.

...

Flying Swallow Martial Arts Hall.

Ji Xuantong was taking the Great Medicine his disciple sent him, and he felt wonderful. He circulated his True Skill, channelling the power of the Great Medicine through his limbs and bones, polishing his flesh as if sanding.

"Polishing is truly painful."

The practice of Martial Artists became more gruelling as they progressed.

Heavenly Pile was difficult; polishing was no picnic either.

Thinking that his disciple also had to practice Hard Qigong, with three difficulties combined,

Old Ji felt that Chenzhou would certainly accomplish great things.

Ending his cultivation, Old Ji checked his smartphone messages.

[Master, I have already perfected the Golden Buddha Arhat Body!]

Old Ji was electrified, immediately standing up.

"Chenzhou, take a photo and let me see."

[Okay.]

Ji Xuantong, looking at the photo showing the faint Golden Film radiating a sacred and profound glow, clenched his fists tightly, his body trembling with excitement, and his Martial Arts Strong Sound thundering.

"Indeed, it’s the embryonic form of a Golden Body!"

[Master, I have a judicial assistance task tomorrow.]

"Go ahead, with your current strength, as long as you don’t take on tasks that involve Martial Artist levels, you should be able to protect yourself and escape in most sudden situations."

The strength of the Golden Body was something Ji Xuantong had witnessed in his youth.

He added,

"Chenzhou, you’ve just perfected the Arhat Skill. Take a break from Hard Qigong practice for a while until your body recovers sufficiently. While the iron is hot, you should begin cultivating the ’Eighteen Arhats Golden Body Skill’. The Arhat Skill only nurtures the embryonic form of the Golden Body in the upper body, but the Golden Body Skill covers everywhere except vital areas. Next, you’ll continuously improve the quality of the Golden Film, making it more solid until the Golden Body Skill reaches Perfection. Your body, except for the vital areas, will truly become Vajra Unbreakable, impervious to knives and guns!"

[Okay, Master. Mr. Chen has also mentioned this to me.]

"Hmm, don’t be afraid to spend Great Merit if you have to. In the future, as you cultivate the Golden Body Skill, as long as Mr. Chen is available, you should spend money to learn from his expertise. The fact that you perfected it so quickly has a lot to do with his professional beat training.

If you run out of Great Merit, tell me."

[There’s enough, Master. You don’t have to worry.]

"As for protecting the crotch area, you’re practicing the ’Iron Crotch Skill’, so I’m not too concerned. As for the fragile areas like the eyes, you’ll need to toughen up the eyelids. When your entire body has no vital points, an enemy’s attacks anywhere will be negligible, and you’ll achieve the legendary Flawless Golden Body, the realm many Hard Qigong enthusiasts dream of."

Old Ji could be called a jack of all trades, knowledgeable about many things.

As someone who ran a Martial Arts Academy, he had to understand a bit of everything.

Otherwise, getting stumped by a student’s question would be embarrassing.

...

Villa by the Stone Lake.

Lu Chenzhou looked at his all-in-one card.

"Only 110 Great Merit left. If I want to practice Golden Body Skill in the future, just the Purple Jade Ointment will cost 16 Great Merit per month and the beat training for Golden Body Skill is 2 Great Merit per session, 60 per month... Top Level Hard Qigong is too expensive.

As a First Class Hard Qigong, Golden Body Skill cannot be practiced with Wang Gang beat training because its beat training covers a larger area and involves far more critical points than Arhat Skill. With Wang Gang’s knowledge in Hard Qigong, the results would certainly be average, better not skimp on this expense."

Since he had a talent for Cross Training, he had to invest well.

Cross Training was his secret weapon to distinguish himself from other talents.

"If it comes down to it, I’ll have to buy Great Merit with money. I have enough savings to support myself for ten months. In comparison, practicing Inner Boxing now is actually more affordable. Tomorrow’s judicial assistance and the subsequent competitions and hands-on training will all make money."
