"How about it?"
Mou Dingshan looked intently at Dao Chengyi. As a respectful and devoted disciple, he certainly wouldn't complain about the taste like the other disciples.
"Unique flavor, the best in the area!"
Even if you pay someone to drink it, no one would like it, right? Dao Chengyi thought to himself, but on the surface he still pretended to savor it carefully, only to throw the tea he drank into the Gu cauldron the moment it entered his mouth so that the Gu worms could drink it.
"You have such good taste! Your other senior brothers and sisters don't have this blessing or the right taste! This tea of mine is of great benefit to our Fushan Fist! But one after another, sigh, let's not talk about that."
"If you like, drink more. I'll have Xiao Zhou pack some for you to take home later. You must have come here today because you need something from me. So, tell me."
Fortunately, it wasn't just a matter of drinking for a few minutes. Dao Chengyi also asked about his inner questions, because he was going to meet the martial arts captain next, and naturally he wanted to understand him in detail.
"That's right, Master. When I was practicing the Fushan Bull Demon Fist, I felt that in terms of moves and techniques, it didn't seem to be fundamentally different from the Fushan Fist."
The nature of Fushan Fist is no different from the martial arts of the previous life; both are for strengthening the body, killing and defeating enemies. It is just that it has been modified and altered, but the difference is very slight.
The Fushan Bull Demon Fist is even more peculiar, with methods that stimulate the growth of the flesh's meridians, as well as methods that use internal vibrations to strengthen the body and external skin to toughen it up. It can better transform the human body and generate field radiation.
But apart from that, the moves and techniques are quite different from these strange ones. There is no qualitative change. After all, the power changes such as Ming Jin and An Jin are already present in Fushan Quan.
"That's because this is a technique that can bring about a qualitative change only for martial arts masters. Before internal energy is generated and circulates through the meridians, all a martial artist can do is make their body stronger. Whoever has better skin defense, whoever's tendons can withstand more force, and whoever's bones are stronger is the stronger one!"
Techniques and moves are art, but muscles and a physique are capital—bigger, stronger, and more resilient, that's what a martial artist needs! And when faced with greater power, the limits of a technique's effectiveness are limited!
"Take your body, for example. To be honest, it was already no worse than a second-level cultivator in essence, but how difficult did you find it in actual combat?"
Even with four human-powered Gu combined, the body was still no match for that second-level assassin, and it was even more fragile in terms of endurance and toughness.
This is Dao Chengyi's summary of the assassination attempt. The assassin had more control over his body and could still launch a counterattack even with broken limbs.
Meridians and tendons are organs that sprout from the flesh and are also the foundational organs of a martial artist. They connect the martial artist's body into a whole, solidify the martial artist's power, and have the power extension from head to toe.
"This is true for martial artists, and even more so for martial masters. At this stage, the meridians are completely connected throughout the body. Even if the hands and feet are cut off, as long as they can be reconnected within a certain time, they can be restored to their original state."
At this stage, ordinary swords, spears, and halberds are useless. Even if flesh is severed, it can be reattached. Only a martial artist with internal energy can destroy those meridians with their qi, or simply use great force to shatter and remove their internal organs and head—areas that haven't yet solidified. Otherwise, you can only wait for the opponent to die of exhaustion.
Martial artists can still be considered human, but martial arts masters are no longer human. Through Mou Dingshan's narration, Dao Chengyi also gained a concrete understanding of martial arts masters.
First: Internal Qi, or internal strength, is the power condensed from the spirit and body after the flesh is refined. Depending on the type of flesh and the cultivation method practiced, it will have different attributes and states of power. This is also the technique that determines the strength of the martial arts master stage!
Second: Unity. The meridians run through the whole body, like a parasitic worm that can connect the flesh and blood of the whole body. As long as it is not completely destroyed, it can be reconnected or even restored. At this stage, the main organs such as the internal organs and the brain are the weak points.
Some unique techniques even allow for separate actions, using internal energy to propel the head into flight, creating a pincer movement with the body.
Third: Techniques and moves: If internal energy, intent, and attributes can be increased or decreased by human intervention, then techniques are innate and difficult to replace. The more powerful the technique, the greater its advantage. Even if one follows the manual, one can still exert powerful formulaic force!
As for other secret techniques, individual differences, or unorthodox methods, they are minor details. The above three points are the mainstream of martial arts, and there is another level above that.
No wonder it's the birthplace of such extraordinary individuals who could stand before the gods and receive their blessings. If things continue to develop, perhaps the people here could even expand their galaxy with these martial arts techniques.
But having these people is good, it's better than being in a low-magic feudal society where you might not even be able to pass the fifth level of cultivation. No, you should say that the Gu Cauldron is still just an insect vessel!
"If you'd like to experience it, your master can spar with you. By the way, your third senior brother should have told you about the Azure Mang Battle, right? What's your current cultivation level?"
The feeling of being a teacher made Mou Dingshan very interested, and he talked until his throat was dry, so he picked up his tea and drank it.
"The leather tanning should be finished before winter."
Dao Cheng thought for a while. Anyway, with the foundation there, plus the good meat and medicine he'd been taking these past few days, it shouldn't be a problem to make progress faster.
"Pfft! So fast?!"
But his teacher seemed to think it was still too fast, and he spat out his tea, looking at Dao Chengyi with a shocked expression.
If he knew that Dao Chengyi was now confident in using Gu worms to kill a martial artist, he would probably be even more surprised.
But that's not a big deal. Anyway, the fact that the divination and the head constable's duel made Dao Cheng eager to try it out.
