Chapter 307: 0212 Essential True Skill (5k)

"Bodhi Technique," a secret method from the Buddhist sect.

"Duster Qi," a secret method from the Daoist sect.

Each has its features, and the effects are almost the same.

One emphasizes "non-attachment," and the other focuses on "sweeping away."

After introducing them, Qingtian Cang asked,

"Which secret technique do you want to learn?"

Lu Chenzhou pondered for a moment and said,

"I’ll choose ’Bodhi Technique.’"

He indeed wanted to choose both, but alas, time and energy are limited.

Shi Ruyu suddenly said,

"It sounds like ’Duster Qi’ is a Daoist method, more ethereal and detached."

Ji Xuanyan also nodded in agreement,

"I also feel that, perhaps after mastering it, Junior Brother’s temperament would resemble those innate Daoists, floating like immortals, untouched by the mundane... surely very appealing to women."

Ji Xuantong said,

"You don’t understand, Chenzhou is someone with a Buddha’s affinity; otherwise, it would be very difficult to achieve such great success in ’Arhat Skill’ and ’Golden Body Skill’ in such a short time. I suspect that Chenzhou is an ’Innate Buddha Child,’ which is also a type of ’Martial Bone Dao Embryo.’"

Old Ji’s words, although somewhat boastful, were also correct.

Lu Chenzhou also wanted to learn "Duster Qi," but he didn’t have even the slightest foundation in Daoist martial arts. As a True Skill secret method, learning it would be extremely difficult.

But his foundation in Buddhist methods was not bad.

At the very least, the special effect of the "Arhat Skill," "Buddha Wisdom," should be of some use. What he lacked most now was time, so naturally, he would choose whatever was simplest and most effective.

Qingtian Cang said,

"Hmm, ’Bodhi Technique’ indeed seems more suitable for you, Buddhist martial arts, once a method is mastered, ten thousand are understood. Having some Buddhist foundation is always good..."

Lu Chenzhou asked,

"Grandmaster, who should I learn this secret method from?"

After thinking it over and setting aside the elusive grandmaster of the Shenlong,

This branch only had one person who knew "Bodhi Technique."

He sighed with a smile,

"Chen Jiu..."

Lu Chenzhou exclaimed,

"Alright, I’ll ask Mr. Chen another day."

Chen Jiu, why does he know everything?

...

The next day, April 14th.

Lu Chenzhou was practicing "Five Tiger Palm" at home.

Although this martial art was a form of hand-to-hand combat, every move and style closely resembled saber technique; with hands as sabers, making motions of slicing, chopping, wiping, stomping, cleaving, collapsing, hooking, hanging...

Swinging wide and cutting with great force, as if splitting Mount Hua.

Lu Chenzhou used a wooden pile as an imagined opponent, his hand gleaming with a black light as he swung it horizontally, executing a strike with a semblance of saber technique, its momentum as if a chain was spanning across a river!

Swoosh!

With the breaking of the wooden pile, Lu Chenzhou’s right hand darted up, slicing upward, an intangible burst of wind tearing through the void, causing the chandelier on the ceiling to sway back and forth.

Five Tiger Palm· Sky-Piercing Strike!

After reaching the peak of momentum with his palm strike, it then continuously descended, as though a divine dragon were parting clouds and a fierce tiger leaping from a mountain, splitting the air current, causing ripples to emanate to both sides. The secret manuals on the ground flipped without wind, rustling, as dust divided the room into two.

In Lu Chenzhou’s mind, he constantly replayed the battle with Ouyang Qing. Unconsciously, on the Martial Arts Tree, a leaf shimmered with light.

[Inspiration strikes, efforts doubled!]

[Five Tiger Palm: Proficient (24%) → Proficient (30%)]

...

[Five Tiger Palm: Proficient (96%) → Mastery (1%)]

...

[Five Tiger Palm: Mastery (99%) → Small Success (1%)]

The light of the leaf faded, and Lu Chenzhou had finished today’s boxing lesson.

""Five Tiger Palm" at the stage of Small Success..."

Once luck graced his spiritual focus, practicing such a third-rate boxing technique really was an overwhelming advantage, breaking through numerous realms in one go, allowing for the condensing of a new Divine Seed by the end of the month.

"This ’Five Tiger Palm’ truly is a worthy precursor to the ’Five Tigers Life-cutting Saber.’ Although I’m practicing boxing, I feel as if my saber technique is also improving."

Elephant Form Fist has six realms in boxing theory, and the same applies to Soldier Attack Martial Arts like saber technique, swordsmanship, and spear skills, though their boxing theories are slightly different.

Taking swordsmanship as an example, the six realms of sword principle are:

Sword Shape, Sword Formation, Sword Intent, Sword Principle, Sword Bone, and Sword Heart!

Saber technique too has these six realms, the names simply change to correspond with the saber. Grasping the essence of Soldier Attack Martial Arts allows for the potential to connect with the Heavenly Heart Mark and resonate with the sages of old.

"It’s a pity, ’White Tiger Breaking Army Spear’ has no precursor martial art, otherwise I would have started with some third-rate Tiger Form Spear Technique. It seems my path to becoming a Spear God still requires time; at the very least, I have to wait until the Heavenly Destiny Mystic Tiger advances to the Fourth Rank Divine Seed."

Lu Chenzhou glanced at the leaf of the "Golden Body Skill."

"It’s close to reaching Great Success... I hope it can achieve Perfection by early next year."

If that could be done, then it would mean mastering the Golden Body Skill in just over two years.

According to Mr. Chen, if that’s the case, then Lu Chenzhou’s Cross Training Talent might be even more formidable than Lufang, and Lufang is currently the top cross-trainer in Jiangnan!

Ding-a-ling-a-ling— the caller ID showed Li Gui.

Lu Chenzhou answered the call.

"Teacher, what’s up?"

These past days, since Lu Chenzhou had been only practicing Heavenly Pile and inner strength, Li Gui was somewhat relieved from teaching duties, only occasionally giving guidance on inner strength cultivation.

However, he was still concerned about Lu Chenzhou’s True Skill cultivation.

Li Gui asked,

"Chenzhou, you’ve been a Martial Artist for some time now, and although ordinary martial arts can work as a transition in the early stage... the difference in power between ordinary martial arts and True Skill boxing is enormous. If you have time, hurry and practice ’Tiger Roar Mountain River Fist.’ Once you’ve grasped the fist theory well, come to me to learn ’Tiger Suppressing Mountains and Rivers Boxing.’"

Li Gui found that Lu Chenzhou did not seem to be in any hurry.

As his teacher, he felt responsible and definitely needed to urge him on.

Lu Chenzhou thought for a moment and said,

"Teacher, I understand. However, I’ve been focusing on studying several ordinary martial arts recently. I have a premonition that if I can master them, my boxing theory realm might further advance, even reaching the Fourth Realm ’Understanding the Principle’ is not impossible."
