Chapter 294: 0202 Mystic Tiger Spirit (4k)_2

"Mountain Lord Mist..."

Lu Chenzhou fell into contemplation as he looked toward another leaf.

[Tiger Spirit Divine Fist: Perfection (Fusion Integration Possible)]

Lu Chenzhou said with a smile,

"After Martial Arts, although my Fist Theory Realm is still at the Third Layer, it has improved a lot compared to before; hence, this First Class Martial Art can now be integrated."

[Black Tiger Mountain Venerate Fist: Perfection (Fusion Integration Possible)]

All three Tiger Form Martial Arts could be integrated.

"Tonight, I will practice my fists all night long!"

Lu Chenzhou, in a single thought, began the fusion.

He executed the three Tiger Form Martial Arts with a flick of his hands and a move of his feet, as fluid as passing clouds or flowing water, seemingly crossing through aeons to the land of the Tiger Form Heavenly Heart Seal. This time, he transformed into a Black Tiger, roaming the primal forests, understanding the myriad forms of the tiger, feeling the Martial Arts Will of the cultivators from ancient times to the present.

Body technique and fist technique are one and the same.

This was the principle Lu Chenzhou had understood when he first learned fist techniques.

Only when the two are combined does one achieve the complete Tiger Form.

Unconsciously,

Lu Chenzhou’s body surface radiated intense heat, like a red-hot branding iron; sweat did not even have time to drip to the ground before turning into mist within his body, wafting from every pore. The fog in the practice room grew thicker, obscuring visibility to less than an arm’s length.

The wind was blowing, and the fog was swirling.

[Chi Ze Acupoint]’s stored moisture emerged continuously, and the [Yemen Acupoint] also absorbed the surrounding water vapor, forming a perfect cycle. This allowed Lu Chenzhou to practice from four in the morning until six without feeling thirsty. Immersed in the Heavenly Heart Seal, he didn’t even feel tired until, at a certain moment, the Martial Arts Tree sent a clear prompt:

[Fusion Successful, Please Name the New Martial Art]

Lu Chenzhou stopped his movements and stood still, his body temperature gradually falling, the redness on his face subsiding.

"Huff..."

Heat billowed out like a dragon’s breath.

Lu Chenzhou was terrible at naming; after some thought, he decided to keep it simple.

"The New Martial Art is the culmination of all Tiger Form Fist techniques I learned before becoming a Martial Artist, so it shall be called ’Heavenly Destiny Mystic Tiger Fist.’ I am Martial Arts, I am fate, it’s sufficiently domineering!"

In his mind, the Martial Arts Tree had already grown to about three feet tall, breaking free from its seedling form, with a straight trunk reaching for the clouds, and leaves that shimmered.

Following the fusion of the three Divine Seeds, the leaf of the new fist technique appeared.

[Heavenly Destiny Mystic Tiger Fist: Perfection]

[Heavenly Destiny Mystic Tiger Divine Seed (Quasi-Fourth Rank): Hidden within the Yangchi Acupoint]

Effect 1: Tiger Wisdom Quasi-Fourth Rank, enhances comprehension of general fist techniques to a certain extent

Effect 2: Tiger Form Quasi-Fourth Rank, enhances comprehension of Tiger Form fist techniques to a certain extent

Effect 3: Tiger Skill Quasi-Fourth Level, enhances comprehension of Tiger Form body techniques to a certain extent

Effect 4: Mystic Tiger Spirit, based on one’s own essence, energy, and spirit, condenses a nascent form of Tiger Form Qi, Mystic Tiger Spirit has the following three fundamental effects:

1, Tiger Power

Tiger Evil Roar fuses to unleash an attack with the imposing presence of Tiger Power; those with weak willpower will enter a forced rigidity state for the duration of one breath, unable to move freely.

2, Substitute

It can automatically protect against evil spirits, blocking spiritual attacks from Spiritual Bodies. Mystic Tiger Spirit can directly cause real damage to the life of a Spiritual Body to a certain extent.

3, Possession

Invoking the Mystic Tiger Spirit to possess the body allows for communication with the Heavenly Heart Seal, stimulating the mysterious power of acupoints, and boosting Qi-Blood energy and Tiger Form Fist’s power above a certain level for one minute.

Effect 5: Tiger Cave, enhances the speed of consolidating acupoints above a certain level.

Effect 6: Mountain Occupying, complex terrain boosts the power of Tiger Form Fist above a certain level.

Effect 7: Mountain Ghost, exhale mist and inhale as the wind, it can create a mountain fog within a range of three feet, creating deceptive tiger shadows (6 in total).

Having reviewed the effects of the new Divine Seed, Lu Chenzhou analyzed in his heart.

"[A certain extent] should refer to the descriptive effects of a Fourth Rank Divine Seed. The fusion of two Third Rank Divine Seeds, one Second Rank Divine Seed, results in a Quasi-Fourth Rank, hence it is [below a certain extent]. The direct fusion of a Fourth Rank is still too difficult."

Third Rank represents ordinary martial arts, Fourth Rank represents True Skill.

The gap between them is significant.

The Martial Arts Tree swayed gracefully, ablaze with glowing lights.

In the depths of his mind,

Lu Chenzhou had an epiphany: To combine a Fourth Rank True Skill Divine Seed, one would need four Third Rank ones, or eight Second Rank ones, which in turn could be exchanged for sixteen First Rank Divine Seeds.

His fusion of two Third Rank Divine Seeds—Mysterious Step and Divine Striking Fist; one Second Rank Tiger Supreme Fist Divine Seed; one First Rank Black Tiger Fist and one First Rank Mountain Crossing Body—totaled approximately twelve First Rank Divine Seeds... With this calculation, things became clear.

Lu Chenzhou murmured to himself,

"Four more First Rank Divine Seeds and I’ll be able to completely transform the ’Heavenly Destiny Mystic Tiger Fist’ into a Fourth Rank Divine Seed. By then, this ordinary martial arts technique will also transform into an authentic Lower Grade True Skill level fist technique. Until it fully evolves into a Fourth Rank, the Divine Seed can continue absorbing First Rank Divine Seeds to evolve, but that’s only quantitative change, not qualitative."

Lu Chenzhou looked down.

The most important Tiger Cave’s special effect had also evolved from ’some’ to ’under certain circumstances,’ which was greatly beneficial for the subsequent opening of acupoints. If he completely transformed into Fourth Rank, his acupoint opening speed would inevitably increase significantly.

Lu Chenzhou’s right foot stomped the ground, shooting forward abruptly, his right arm swinging as muscle ripples cascaded like a large python being revived, innate strength poured into his right palm as he slapped the ironwood pile.

Crack.

The pile, as hard as steel, was forcibly bent and broken.

Lu Chenzhou’s face showed joy:

"The power of martial arts has greatly increased, a normal strike now possesses more power than the special move ’Tiger God Demon-clearing Sky Strike,’ strong enough to cause terrible damage to Martial Artists."

He closed his eyes, concentrating on the Inner Scenery Land. He reappeared above the wilderness where, at some unknown time, a flesh-and-blood slab had emerged.

"This is the Meat Divine Slab, the cornerstone that stabilizes the Inner Heaven and Earth."

To grind is to carve more slabs and build them up.

Eventually forming the Meat Divine Palace, suppressing the nascent Inner Realm.

Next to the slab lay a dark great tiger with eyes like stars.

"This is my Tiger Form Spirit, the Mystic Tiger Spirit!"

Lu Chenzhou had always been obsessed with the Evil Tiger behind Lufang.

Now, he had finally begun to materialize his own Qi.

However, to externalize Qi and affect reality required the strength of a Martial Arts Master.

Right now, the Qi was only a method of spiritual attack.

After finishing his cultivation, Lu Chenzhou left the gymnasium.

Later.

Li Gui came to the practice room, murmuring to himself as he looked at the broken ironwood pile:

"Did Chenzhou learn a True Skill? No, that’s not right, I haven’t taught him yet..."

...

After waking from his nap.

Lu Chenzhou easily entered the 31st acupoint.

Humans have left and right hands, each with a symmetrical distribution of acupoints.

Before breaking the shackles, Lu Chenzhou had opened the acupoints of his right hand, and during the Initial Realm, he would open the 30 acupoints of his left hand, hence the step from the Initial to Middle Realm was relatively easy, akin to the difficulty of the 30th acupoint during the Extreme Limit Realm.

Therefore, those with decent talent who are willing to work hard, can normally rush to the Middle Realm before the decline of their Qi-Blood, like Ji Xuantong and those Martial Artist friends he knew, most of whose cultivation was at the Middle Realm, that was the reason.

But from the Middle Realm to the End Realm, one needs to open the acupoints in the right foot area, and the difficulty will increase considerably. This step will stall most ordinary Martial Artists.

Lu Chenzhou looked at the time; it was now eight in the morning.

"Next, let’s test the speed of acupoint opening."

He practiced Pile Skill for a total of 12 hours a day, divided into three sessions: morning, afternoon, and evening.

In the dead of night.

Lu Chenzhou evaporated his sweat and looked at the proficiency panel.

[Dragon and Tiger Heavenly Pile: 31st acupoint (1%) → 31st acupoint (6%)]

"It’s much faster than I expected. If I ensure 12 hours of Pile Skill cultivation every day, I could open one acupoint in about 20 days. I haven’t even taken any Great Medicine yet..."

Lu Chenzhou was thoroughly reassured.

His imagined method of stacking Divine Seeds was feasible.

In the future, he could continue stacking Divine Seeds, enhancing the Tiger Cave’s special effect. As long as the speed of the special effect’s progression can keep up with the increasing difficulty of the acupoints, he would not be hindered by the acupoint problem, always maintaining a steady state of acupoint opening. A smooth and rapid stride!

The Path to Heaven already lay before Lu Chenzhou.

All that was left was to stack and accomplish it.

...

February 27th.

In the gymnasium, during the Fist Technique class.

Xiao He looked at the door as the figure who walked with the might of dragons and tigers approached, with an immense presence:

"Chenzhou is finally out of seclusion!"

Chen Xiaoyun jokingly slapped Xiao He, saying:

"Don’t be disrespectful... Call him Senior Lu!"
