Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting from Fist Technique Deduction
Chapter 62 - 53 The Way

Chapter 62: Chapter 53 The Way

"In name, the Palace Master of the academy in Yanghua Town is the strongest person, and this is indeed true. The Palace Master comes from the Upper City Sect and has one foot in the third realm of martial arts."

"The third realm of martial arts?" Lin Yuan’s heart was shaken as he continued to listen attentively.

"That’s right, the three realms of martial arts are the Qi-Blood Realm, the Condensing Yuan Realm, and the third realm, the Orifice Pulse Realm," Xie Wanxin explained seeing Lin Yuan’s interest in martial arts realms.

After a slight pause, Xie Wanxin continued, "As for the local influential Pei and Hong clans in Yanghua, they have been passed down for a century, with many experts emerging in their lineage. It is said that their ancestors’ cultivation levels are as high as the ninth level of the Condensing Yuan Realm."

"Of course, when facing the Palace Master, the Pei and Hong families coexist peacefully. Firstly, they need to respect the arrangements from the Upper City. Secondly, because the Palace Master leads a solitary life, they need the two families’ support, and at the same time, it balances the power between them by setting them against each other."

At this moment, the golden crow sets in the west, leaving only a trace of afterglow.

"Brother Lin, focus on studying martial arts diligently. Soon enough, you’ll be dressed in black robes, and resources will naturally come to you. There’s no need to rush or worry too much," Xie Wanxin smiled, clasping his hands in a gesture of respect.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Xie, for letting me know. It’s getting late; let’s part ways here," Lin Yuan returned the gesture, and they parted ways.

Inside the small hut.

An oil lamp burned quietly, its flame flickering, occasionally sparking light that slightly swayed the shadow of the reader on the wall.

It was already late at night, and there was a finished martial arts manual placed on the wooden table.

The reader was holding another manual, a gift from the Tian family during the day - the Spirit Turtle Eight Diagrams Defense, a cultivation technique for hardening the skin and membranes.

After quite a while, the reader closed the book.

The reader was Lin Yuan.

He neatly placed the Spirit Turtle Eight Diagrams Defense alongside the Little Dragon Tiger Tongbei Fist.

"These two cultivation techniques, the Little Dragon Tiger Tongbei Fist cultivates Qi-Blood power while partially enhancing the skin and membranes of the arms," Lin Yuan thought, furrowing his brows. Reflecting on his cultivation techniques, he couldn’t help but sigh, "No wonder it’s extremely difficult for ordinary disciples to surpass elite ones."

"The effect of mastering the Spirit Turtle Eight Diagrams Defense is almost equivalent to the consummate level effect of the Wild Ox Force."

Without the means to compete in cultivation techniques and resources, unless born a self-reliant genius like him, the only way is through serendipitous encounters.

He shook his head, clearing away those jumbled thoughts, and called upon his consciousness.

Nine Chapters.

"Seems like reading manuals have their effects too, allowing cultivation techniques to transform into sprouts on the Nine Chapters vine leaves."

In the space of the Nine Chapters, the vine leaves representing the Eight-step Breaking Fist and Wild Ox Force were already lush, with only two sprouts waiting to grow.

"The alchemical pills are still too few," Lin Yuan thought to himself.

Currently, what kept him from further enhancing his martial arts cultivation was the lack of alchemical pills.

However, he could only refine Qi-Blood Scatter at present.

Qi-Blood Scatter is merely a medicinal powder, which is far less effective compared to the introductory Five Qi Pill.

Relying on Qi-Blood Scatter to advance martial arts realms was painfully slow.

His Eight-step Breaking Fist realm was the Red Spirit State.

This was four times the number of meridians compared to the ordinary Eight-step Breaking Fist.

Even if the Little Dragon Tiger Tongbei Fist was cultivated to perfection, the increase in the number of meridians it could bring might only be one or two beats at most.

This result is far from what he desired.

Having reached the perfection realm of Opening Stone Hand and Avian Dragon Movement using Qi-Blood Scatter, Lin Yuan realized that using Qi-Blood Scatter to break through seemed almost impossible.

It was like trying to fill an entire lake with droplets of water—it would take far more time than Lin Yuan could tolerate.

To break through the limits of these two techniques, a more potent pill was necessary, which meant alchemical pills.

If he could learn the refinement of the Five Qi Pill, his martial arts training path would be like installing a new engine, propelling his martial arts cultivation speed to the next level.

Unless the Little Dragon Tiger Tongbei Fist broke through as the Eight-step Breaking Fist twice, it wouldn’t bring about a qualitative leap.

But Lin Yuan’s goal was far beyond just a Little Dragon Tiger Tongbei Fist.

Through careful discussions and exchanges with Xie Wanxin, Lin Yuan had already set a higher and more ambitious goal.

"I, Lin Yuan, want to forge an unparalleled foundation in martial arts, cultivating all possible Qi-Blood cultivation techniques. Filling every meridian capable of channeling Qi-Blood."

"The more meridians, the deeper the foundation, which could be said to lay an unparalleled martial arts foundation."

"This is the path I want to take, to dominate the martial path."

"A domination of the martial path that exceeds the limits."

The next day, in Zhu Lingshan’s side hall.

"Miss, I admit defeat." As Zhu Lingshan’s maid, Xiao Yun watched as Zhu Lingshan continuously unleashed Crane Call Fist but was instantly defeated.

She felt that her lady’s martial arts cultivation had advanced greatly recently. While she used to barely manage to cope, now, she simply couldn’t match up and struggled against Zhu Lingshan, managing only a few exchanges.

"Miss, have you been training some additional martial arts recently? Why do I feel like your Qi-Blood power has increased so much?" Xiao Yun rubbed her fists, murmuring.

"How do you like my Eight-step Breaking Fist, isn’t it impressive?" Zhu Lingshan, retaining her girlish charm, raised her fists with a bit of pride.

"Eight-step Breaking Fist? That most basic Eight-step Breaking Fist?" Xiao Yun’s face became anxious: "Miss, how is that practical? Eight-step Breaking Fist can only add eight meridians of Qi-Blood at most, and that requires a lot of time? Why not train the deeper martial techniques of the Zhu family’s martial academy?"

"Why are you worried?" Zhu Lingshan chuckled, but deep down she held more respect for Lin Yuan.

"Ever since I joined the academy, I’ve been following Brother Lin’s teachings on the Eight-step Breaking Fist, reaching such a level was inevitable."

"Is it that genius you mention? The one who defeated you at the first tournament? Miss, I’ve been with you since childhood." Xiao Yun seemed somewhat aggrieved, as Zhu Lingshan hadn’t shared anything about it.

"But Miss, the Eight-step Breaking Fist is just an ordinary technique. Can it really compare to your family’s secret techniques?" Xiao Yun still held some doubts, insisting.

"Xiao Yun, let’s just say the Eight-step Breaking Fist is an additional cultivation method for me. That’s a secret between us, don’t tell anyone else, okay?" Zhu Lingshan adjusted her robes and affectionately embraced the bewildered Xiao Yun.

"Oh, Miss, you’re doing that again." Xiao Yun couldn’t help but murmur.

After their playful exchange, Lin Yuan, who hadn’t been seen for some time, was approaching from afar.

"Brother Lin, good morning." Seeing Lin Yuan approaching, Zhu Lingshan’s eyes gleamed as she hurriedly ceased her actions to greet him.

"Miss really has her heart set on this Brother Lin," Xiao Yun noticed Zhu Lingshan’s eagerness, immediately sensing something different.

The martial academy had no shortage of people highly interested in Miss Zhu, especially several senior and junior brothers who were remarkably talented and strong, yet Zhu Lingshan never gave them any notice.

Xiao Yun once again observed Lin Yuan’s approaching figure, feeling a little puzzled: "Apart from being good-looking, what’s his special trait? Why does Miss fancy this Brother Lin?"

Although Xiao Yun had her own thoughts, she still went to greet Lin Yuan alongside Zhu Lingshan.

After a long absence, Lin Yuan and Zhu Lingshan exchanged pleasantries.

Following that was the customary sparring session.

In Xiao Yun’s eyes, although it seemed balanced, she had martial arts knowledge, and she instantly noticed something different.

"This Brother Lin is truly powerful?" Xiao Yun couldn’t help but open her mouth in shock.

"Miss is already one of the best among the black-robed elite disciples, yet against this Brother Lin, she couldn’t dominate."

Xiao Yun rubbed her eyes, wanting to confirm if she was mistaken.

During the sparring, though Miss Zhu flipped around, nimble and lively, she still couldn’t gain the upper hand.

"Earlier, when Miss used that White Crane Wing move, I couldn’t defend against it, but this Brother Lin warded off Miss’s attacks with ease, how did he do that?"

"Also, he’s just a chores disciple? How could a chores disciple have such strength?"

Xiao Yun was astonished: "Is this person really a genius? He seems quite ordinary."

About an hour later, Zhu Lingshan was covered in sweat, with Lin Yuan’s deliberate guidance, she had almost exerted her full strength.

However, considering Lin Yuan’s current strength, even if Zhu Lingshan unleashed her full power, it posed no threat to him as he effortlessly neutralized her attacks.

Soon enough, the two sparring partners finally stopped.

"Thank you, Brother Lin, for the guidance," Zhu Lingshan looked at Lin Yuan, her breath steady, and her eyes reflecting his figure like an esteemed master of martial arts, possessing extraordinary charisma.

"Brother Lin, such vigor," Zhu Lingshan felt a touch of admiration rising within.

"Sister Zhu, you’re flattering me," Lin Yuan smiled and nodded.

"Brother, do you remember your promise to join the martial academy?" Zhu Lingshan slightly calmed her inner thoughts and expressed what was on her mind.

"Indeed, Sister, do you think the time is suitable recently?" Lin Yuan pondered slightly and asked.

Having promised Zhu Lingshan, it was for the matter of Qi-Blood Scatter, and since she had fulfilled her end, and their relationship had progressed, it was only right to fulfill his promise now.

"Recently, my master has returned from traveling, and I wanted to ask if you’d like to meet him," Zhu Lingshan expressed relief hearing Lin Yuan’s agreement, fearing he wouldn’t accept.

"Do I need to prepare anything for joining the martial academy?" Lin Yuan was slightly curious.

"Not really, the academy has a system for named disciples, just a simple registration is required," Zhu Lingshan quickly explained. "If a mentor takes a liking to you, and if you do not object, then becoming an apprentice is but a natural progression."

"How about this, once I finish my examination in a few days, I’ll accompany you, Sister?" Lin Yuan nodded after listening.

He was waiting for Shen Huaining’s notification to participate in the alchemist’s examination.
