Chapter 493: 0321 ’Great Vajra Tiger Subduing Arhat Seal’ (Asking for monthly tickets at the beginning of the month 3k)

On the Martial Arts Arena, strange monks’ gazes were fixed on him.

The white-robed monk had a blurred face and his hands clasped together.

"Let me enlighten you all!"

A Qiongqi apparition with a single horn on its head and wings on its back appeared.

The Qi Po, as a manifestation of spiritual power, was naturally usable in illusions.

Of course, the power was far less than in the real world since it lacked the fusion with Qi-Blood and was only imposing.

A burly monster with a monk’s head and an ape’s body wielded a burning stick, attacking with a fierce stick technique.

As it moved, other strange monks attacked with sharp claws or weapons simultaneously.

In a flash, Lu Chenzhou was surrounded by at least seven Martial Artist level strange monks.

"Mountain River Suppressing! Battle Eight Desolates!"

He roared, and an invisible aura swept out, suppressing everything.

In an instant, all the strange monks were as if crushed by Mount Tai, their movements stalled for a moment.

Then, an Eight-Armed Demon Tiger appeared out of nowhere, Tiger Claw and Tiger Fist striking like the Thousand-Armed Guanyin!

One by one, the strange monks were sent flying into the air, their bodies exploding and turning into faint golden light, merging into the white-robed monk.

"Is this what mowing down feels like?"

Lu Chenzhou’s spiritual power began to increase again.

Suddenly, the mist churned.

In the Martial Arts Arena, at least a hundred strange monks, fearless of death, all charged at Lu Chenzhou.

There were also arrows, hidden weapons, and other projectiles raining down like a storm.

"Attracting too much, getting too excited, forgot that there’s no Horizontal Training in the illusion, and no Divine Weapon Armor either."

Soon, he was surrounded by over a hundred monks, the weakest being at 10 Prajna, even one punch from each would be unbearable.

"I’ll fly!"

Lu Chenzhou ascended the Cloud Ladder.

In just a few moves, he was already a hundred meters high.

[Cloud Ascending Ladder: Proficient (99%) → Proficient (100%)]

With a body as agile as a swallow, he controlled the wind and hovered, observing.

The level of the Heart Sutra was not entirely tied to its difficulty.

For example, the unlucky Zhen Ding directly encountered the ultimate BOSS of Lantuo Temple.

One should never be careless, even if this is the First Layer of passing the trial.

"If only I had the Tiger Gall Gun, I could sweep through them directly!"

Walking around, Lu Chenzhou found some weapons made of scrap metal, far inferior to his bare hands.

The productivity of the Lantuo Temple world was probably similar to that of the old times of Da Xia.

Lu Chenzhou descended, landing on a roof, immediately a group of strange monks wielding weapons jumped onto the roof beams to attack him.

Mountain God Demon-suppressing·Pine Needles in Rain!

He dodged, and dense fist shadows scattered like pine needles.

He fully utilized the short-range advantages of the Tiger Form and paired with the Swallow Form, he weaved in and out of the roof, kiting them.

This way, he avoided being mobbed by the strange monks.

Time passed, and this was his longest-consuming tribulation so far.

Mysteriously, a sense of drowsiness hit him, indicating that even his mind outside was highly exhausted.

"If this drags on too long, and the Heart Sutra forcibly awakens me, it will still be considered a failed tribulation."

Even breaking through the Heart Sutra, even the First Layer, had some difficulty.

In the illusion, though he could perform Martial Arts, lacking Qi-Blood greatly reduced its power.

Furthermore, he didn’t know any Po Suo’s Spiritual Ability techniques, having over ninety Prajna worth of spiritual power, but no way to fully utilize it.

"It seems that to cultivate the Heart Sutra, sooner or later, I will have to study Spirit Martial Arts, otherwise, the later tribulations will be impossible to overcome."

Time passed.

Relying on the "Cloud Ascending Ladder" and "Vajra Lion Roar," with great strength creating miracles, Lu Chenzhou gradually defeated the strange monks in the Martial Arts Arena one by one.

The last strange monk fell, transforming into golden light and merging into him.

[Cloud Ascending Ladder: Proficient (100%) → Mastery (1%)]

"Not easy at all."

True Skill Level movement techniques were nearly impossible to master.

He was out of breath, and the "Heavenly Demon Body" the Abbot mentioned seemed to be at its limit as well.

"Humankind is about to be wiped out, and Lu Chenzhou, what are you doing here!"

A black mist fell behind him, transforming into a figure similar to Lu Chenzhou, the Chen Soul had arrived!

To some extent, Heart Demons were also a kind of Heavenly Demon, wandering the Three Thousand Worlds freely.

"As expected, it came!" Lu Chenzhou surged with all his power, twisting his body, and threw a punch.

The Chen Soul’s Tiger Claw unexpectedly caught Lu Chenzhou’s fist.

The Chen Soul grinned savagely: "Here, you have become weaker... while I have become stronger."

The Qiongqi Spirit flared, transforming into golden flames that coiled around Lu Chenzhou’s arms.

His eyes were cold, like a Mountain God possessing him: "Then taste this punch!"

Mountain God Ascends the Tower!

Two gigantic golden flaming fist shadows flew out of nowhere, striking the Chen Soul’s chest, pinning it against the temple wall.

CRACK—the wall spread with cracks.

The golden flames burned the Chen Soul’s body relentlessly.

The Chen Soul grinned savagely as its form turned to ashes.

This month, Lu Chenzhou was also pondering how to maximize the use of his spiritual power.

This move, burning spiritual power, merging into the Mountain God Demon-suppressing Fist, with endless flames, burning the enemy’s spirit, could barely be considered a spiritual move.

"Not bad, until I master Spiritual Ability, it can serve as a trump card for passing the trial."

The space distorted, and the illusion began to vanish.

[Three Worlds and Ten Directions Venerable Sutra: Second Layer (1%)]

"Breakthrough."

Lu Chenzhou remembered Mingxin’s words, looking around.

The Martial Arts Arena was filled with lingering bloody mist, blown away by the mountain wind.

In front of a wooden dummy, a skeleton sat cross-legged, hands clasped, its head fallen to one side.

Unlike other skeletons with demon characteristics, this one was no different from an ordinary person, small and thin, perhaps a little novice in life.

The skeleton wore tattered monk robes, in its pocket, emanating a gentle white light.

Lu Chenzhou dared not delay, immediately rushing over, using telekinesis to capture the items in the pocket.

It was a jade scroll, depicting a lifelike Arhat riding a giant tiger with a fierce gaze.

A vast stream of information flooded into his mind like enlightenment.

"Great Vajra Tiger Subduing Arhat Seal?"

Lu Chenzhou’s figure faded away.

Meanwhile.

The Lantuo Temple’s back mountain.

A huge monster with a monk’s head and a bear’s body opened its eyes.

It seemed to have been awakened by distant disturbances, taking heavy steps, descending the mountain, causing the earth to tremble.

Inside a mountain cave, Zhen Ding’s figure appeared, his face showing joy.

"Hahaha, the big guy finally left."

Confirming the giant bear had gone away, he held his breath, and cautiously exited the cave.

"Amitabha, where is this layman going?"

A sudden voice made Zhen Ding stop in his tracks, an invisible horror aura causing his heart to chill.

In the ruins of an old temple ahead, an elderly figure with a bear’s head and a monk’s body slowly stood up.

With claw-like hands comparable to a ghost’s grab, the elder pulled out a sixteen-foot long Tiger Head Spear, its tip shining with chilling light.

Although it was called a spear, it bore some semblance to a Zen stick.

The elder, with a smile that was not quite a smile, murmured:

"Moon-Gazing Tiger Head Spear, crafted by the Vajra Pavilion master with Outer Heaven Cold Iron, weighs thirteen thousand five hundred jin (pounds)... Layman, it’s time to go."

Zhen Ding’s eyes opened wide with anger, shouting: "Audacious demon! I am the Shaolin Tiger Subduing Monk·Zhen Ding!"

A majestic Martial Monk spirit, standing sixteen feet tall, hands clasped, appeared behind Zhen Ding, exuding boundless Dharma, majestic and holy!

The old monk with a bear head squinted: "Tiger Subduing Arhat manifestation?"

By the time he realized, Zhen Ding had already escaped into the dense mountain forest, fleeing wildly.

He escaped, the old monk’s aura was scarier than the giant bear, fight who? No way.

...

In the Practice Room.

Lu Chenzhou slowly woke up, his head throbbing as though a balloon was swelling inside.

After taking a calming pill, he felt much better.

He started practicing his fist techniques, integrating Spirit, Energy, and Essence to digest the rapidly increasing spiritual power over the period.

This was a little trick Lu Chenzhou found.

Spiritual power increasing too quickly? Then practice more fist techniques, it helps in digestion and absorption.

Soon, the Martial Arts Tree prompted.

[Mountain God Demon-suppressing Fist: Mastery (100%) → Small Success (1%)]

Meanwhile, throughout his body, the Divine Storage Power from the acupoints spread, nourishing his body.

"Phew... feeling better."

"Mountain God Demon-suppressing Fist" was close to breakthrough in the illusion, so Lu Chenzhou seized the moment and made a breakthrough.

He threw an ordinary punch.

[Current Qi Blood Value 150 points, 30 points short of the End Realm...]

[Current energy level 43 Ding, reaching End Realm standard, 8 Ding short of the Limit...]

"Normal attacks already surpass the End Realm... Great Kill Move: Gods’ Dusk should exceed 130 Ding."

Now, if he faces the Mantis Demon again, breaking its defense would be easier.

Not to mention, he still had the Void-breaking Sword Qi as a Great Kill Move.

He felt that if given the right opportunity, he could hope to kill the Mantis Demon with a combo in one strike.

However, for safety, without reaching the End Realm or the Limit, if he encountered a Third Realm, he would still prefer to run.

Fighting across realms should only be as a last resort, one shouldn’t pursue it actively.

If he ever fails, reality is not an illusion, there is no resurrection.

With his rapid advancement in cultivation, as long as he hangs on for a while, he can crush enemies by realm.

Exhausted from passing the trial, Lu Chenzhou practiced a bit more, didn’t even bathe, and went straight to sleep.

...

The next day.

He woke up refreshed.

With a thought, he summoned the Meditation Pearl, spinning it slowly with telekinesis.

[Spiritual Power: 100 Prajna]

Spiritual power and Qi-Blood correspond.

It meant that his Spiritual Realm also reached the Middle Stage of the Second Realm, aligned with his physical body!

Your fighter body is strong? I have Horizontal Training.

Spiritual practitioner’s mind is strong? I’m not weak either.

Da Xia Martial Artist practices Spirit, Energy, and Essence combined? Sorry, you just understand a little.

"Who else?!"

Lu Chenzhou was full of pride.

Even with his steady character, he began to imagine scenes of sweeping through enemies in the Water Mansion.

Whether human or ghost, in Master Ji’s words: Sweep all, sweep everything!

"Right, that jade pendant."

After bathing, Lu Chenzhou remembered something and began searching the Practice Room.

"Not here... looks like I didn’t bring it out, after all, it’s just an illusion, what was I thinking."

Being able to enhance spiritual power and Martial Arts Realm was already impressive.

He looked at the Martial Arts Tree, next to the "Mountain God Demon-suppressing Fist," there was a new Martial Arts branch that he hadn’t noticed before.

[Great Vajra Tiger Subduing Arhat Seal (Lower): First Layer (1%)]

"Good news, the Martial Arts within was brought out... and it should be a Superior True Technique level spiritual martial art, bad news is, the martial arts in the jade scroll is only the lower part, incomplete, at most it can be cultivated to the Third Layer."
