With Countless Qualities Bestowed Upon Me, I Shall Ultimately Become Immortal Chapter 377 - 343: Penetrating Force, Cold Awl, and Kṣaṇa-Lu

After receiving the "Combat Elite" evaluation, good missions were often prioritized and sent to him.

But he recently had no ti, as he was fully concentrating on secluded cultivation, regretfully having to give them up.

The tasks mostly sent by the task system were "Demon Path Calamities, Celestial Demon Disasters" in small cities around Yong’an.

The reason why the area around Yong’an City is relatively stable is thanks in no small part to the efforts of the people of the Northern United University.

ng Chuan put down his phone and continued practicing his punches.

He alternated between the two fist skills, quickly switching from one to the other after finishing one.

The ones he practiced were the [Drilling Fist] and [Horizontal Fist].

After entering the War Soul space several tis to receive teachings from the founders of the relevant cultivation techniques.

Combining them with his own Five Elents martial principles, ng Chuan gradually figured out the key points of these two fists.

"The Drilling Fist belongs to water, with movents like an impact drill, a spiraling torsion force from bottom to top;

The Horizontal Fist belongs to earth, and it is slightly different from the other four Five Elents third-rate ancient martial fists.

This fist carries a Qi strength technique called [Horizontal Strength].

It emphasizes utilizing the body’s power, with movents being lively yet stable."

Overall, these two fists are indeed more complex to practice than other third-rate fist skills.

Noticing the Drilling Fist had gained a bit more proficiency, reaching (Mastery: 35%).

He then started practicing the Horizontal Fist, which was a bit harder to master in its [Horizontal Strength].

ng Chuan spent more effort on it each day.

Earth-based fists are most concerned with using the body’s montum to overwhelm opponents with great force.

...

ng Chuan sank his shoulders and elbows, his legs’ tendons coiling like dragons, deeply rooted in the earth.

Power gathered, Qi strength contracted.

Then, a mouthful of turbid breath spurted out from his chest!

With a low shout, his right arm’s muscles dramatically swelled, the fist edge burst forth like a bamboo shoot breaking through the earth at an angle.

A muffled boom sounded!

The fist moved in an arc, seemingly straightforward yet secretly harboring "Horizontal Strength."

Like a plow breaking the soil, shattering the opponent’s defense;

Like rock layers compressing, then vibrating the five viscera and six bowels horizontally;

Finally, like earthquake waves spreading, exploding into fan-shaped ripples at the point of fist contact.

ng Chuan felt it was like a crude version of the [Star Destroyer], the martial arts ultimate move, pulverizing everything in its path.

"Phew..."

Two narrow streams of white smoke trailed from his nostrils as ng Chuan stood still, gathering himself.

[Horizontal Fist: Mastery (27%) → Mastery (28%) awaiting Limit Breaking]

[Limit Breaking Trait: Penetrating Force (Low Level)]

The Drilling Fist’s trait is called [Cold Drill (Low Level)].

The Limit Breaking traits of these two fists are the sa as those of Cannon, Cleaving, and Crashing Fists, their nas carrying a certain "air of superiority."

ng Chuan felt their effects wouldn’t be weak, certainly among the stronger in the low-level category.

Now that his Five Elents martial principles had greatly increased, and with the aid of the War Soul space for learning.

Practicing these two doors wouldn’t hinder his progress in the third stage of [Five Qi Chaoyuan].

Today’s fist skill practice had temporarily co to an end.

As ng Chuan adjusted his breathing, he checked the news.

Recently, he had stopped studying Buddhist Teachings, as he had mastered the basics quite thoroughly.

In martial arts, understanding non-Buddhist divine skills shouldn’t be a problem.

The reason for halting further study was because there was an inexplicable "influence" within the text.

If he went deeper, ng Chuan worried his resolve might not hold, and he might actually shave his head...

This was his own [Martial Arts Will], which, compared to the vast Buddhist philosophy, was still weak.

Once enhanced in the future, he would be able to grasp it.

...

Returning to his senses, he saw the latest headline news from Yong’an and felt it was very familiar.

[The Second National Martial Arts Supernova Tournant, Grand Opening! Yong’an Martial Arts Competition Center honored as the host venue for both Northern and national finals!]

"Yong’an really stepped up as a venue for the finals..."

ng Chuan clicked in to take a glance, then returned to continue cultivating the Tao Heart Demon Seed thod.

Though the Supernova Tournant had rich rewards, it could only be attended by university martial artists, and it was unrelated to him.

"I’m a martial artist of the old era, and the new era has no boat that can carry ..."

With an inexplicable sigh, ng Chuan dialed his master’s phone number.

He hadn’t been in touch recently and wasn’t sure how his master was progressing over in Japan.

A few minutes later, ng Chuan hung up, his expression slightly solemn.

His master in Japan indeed had so new discoveries recently.

"The Parasite Association internally seed to have signs of a split. Led by their president, so have begun to revere demons, changing the teachings of the [Demon Seed Parasite] of the association. There seems to be a shadow of the Demon Summoning Hall involved behind the scenes..."

This had both advantages and disadvantages for the master and disciple duo.

Internal division made it easier to make a move.

But having the Demon Summoning Hall involved could lead to unpredictable changes.

ng Chuan only reminded his master to take care of himself, knowing that although his master was a Martial Arts Grandmaster.

But among the grandmasters, due to an unstable "Tao Heart," he was considered among the weakest...

...

At the sa ti, within San Qin land, more than a hundred kiloters from Yong’an, in Pucheng.

Li Xiao was taking action!

Beside him stood several fierce individuals filled with demonic Qi.

These were the old demons summoned back from the hall, several who had undergone four or five tis of sublimation.

Monts later, Li Xiao used a specially encrypted phone to dial a number.

On the other end was an old acquaintance from [Outer Heaven].

Li Xiao intended to once again use the Demon Nest node connection thod.

He requested the Divine Master of the mountains to send personnel, and to bring an [Upper Deity] to descend upon Pucheng.

He fished in troubled waters, establishing a new branch.

This move always worked for him, and Li Xiao loved using it.

But the voice on the other end of the phone put Li Xiao in a rather depressed mood.

[Sorry, Hall Master Li, it might not be possible in the near future.

Please don’t get angry, this is not my personal opinion, but the attitude of "Outer Heaven"...]

Li Xiao took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to crush the phone, and said calmly:

[Alright, contact actively when it’s possible, and the expected reward won’t be lessened.]

[Understood, I apologize again, Hall Master Li.]

The call ended, leaving Li Xiao feeling helpless.

He had no choice but to resort to the original thod that initiated the rise of the Divine Summoning Hall.

"Open a martial arts school and teach divine skills!"

...

On the other end, Fang Jianxing hung up the phone, looking helpless.

In truth, he really needed the resources in Li Xiao’s hands.

But it was impossible, a few days ago.

Great Chu had long since identified the root cause of the chaos in the "Chen Cang Demon Nest" as their "Outer Heaven".

Not only had the technique to counteract node connections been developed.

They had also simultaneously established a special task force to hunt down exposed mbers of Outer Heaven.

Many strong individuals in their organization had died because of this, and even their second-in-command [Yu Min, Master of Stars and Planets] was forcibly captured by the authority in Great Chu’s Northern Lands, his life or death still unknown.

"Alas, the current situation is tense, I can only personally handle things..."

What he required for the Divine Summoning Hall was their vast intelligence network.

The brethren within the hall were dispersed across Great Chu, and the exact number was probably sothing even Hall Master Li Xiao couldn’t say for certain.

Fang Jianxing knew that Li Xiao was really cunning.

Wherever the other party went, he often carelessly left behind a few doors of demon skills...

Many "Demon Path orphans" who found the cultivation techniques were still unable to find the organization...

Not thinking about these, he reflected on himself.

He still only mastered two of the [Spirit Platform Demon Seed fragnts].

The [Lure Heart Chapter], and the [Angry Thought Chapter] he retrieved after killing his "girlfriend"!

"The old boss still has four Chapters there, let him keep them for now.

The Fear Chapter is in Luo Guanyun’s hands, and the most important [Core] Chapters should also be with him...

In addition to that, there are two other Chapters whose whereabouts are unknown, but recently there have been so clues..."

Thinking of this, the fake smile on Fang Jianxing’s face gradually grew grim.

His grin beca increasingly wild:

"Nine branches and one main body, a perfect thod, surely a complete divine skill!!!"

The demon shadow behind him surged, circulating around his body uncontrollably.

"Hoo...hoo... there’s no hurry... there’s no rush..."

After a long ti, he finally cald down and thought carefully:

"As for the old boss, it’s still reasonable. The Parasite Association has already leaned towards the Celestial Demon, taking out sincerity and strength, those four Chapters shouldn’t be difficult.

It’s just... the Fear Chapter and the core Chapters need more planning.

Luo Guanyun just happened to beco a Grandmaster, not to ntion initiating an attack, even appearing in front of him, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to escape..."

This point troubled Fang Jianxing greatly.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up with an idea:

"I wonder if his disciple ng Chuan has inherited his so-called lightning technique..."

He had been keeping an eye on ng Chuan’s progress, from winning national championships to becoming a Martial Extre True Inheritance.

Fang Jianxing had thought of snuffing him out preemptively.

But this kid was too cautious, there really hadn’t been any opportunities...

Whenever he went out for competitions, he had ntors protecting him, and at other tis, he basically stayed cloistered within the school practicing martial arts, completely not showing his face...

Then he reconsidered, doubting himself:

"However... since this kid advanced to the martial arts family, he hasn’t shown any [core] related abilities, the possibility is slim..."

...

That night, Lishan Mountain, Huaqing Pool.

In the Star Soup at the courtyard.

ng Chuan was entirely naked, coiled at the bottom of the pool.

Letting the warm spring water wash over him, relieving the fatigue from the body after intense training.

He lowered his head to examine his body, noticing that the number of golden dots radiating in the state of cultivation was increasing.

With so understanding of Buddhist Path, ng Chuan already knew what these golden dots were.

"Each of these golden dots is an appearance of [Kalasa Light Dust]."

Kalasa Light Dust, encompasses ditative essence, manifests right thoughts, like dew, also like lightning.

ng Chuan didn’t quite understand; he would ask Master Dong another day.

Looking back at his progress, his mood was good.

"In less than two months, the Treasure Appearance Golden Venerable Skill will be proficient, by then it can be put to use."

Due to the sheer number of hard skills he practiced, especially those affecting the skin and flesh.

The layering of Iron Cloth Shirt, Armored Body, Doma Iron Body, and others together.

If not for the [Treasure Appearance Golden Venerable] being an interdiate true skill, he might have needed to cultivate it to great success before seeing any effects.

He perceived within himself, discovering a layer of black fluid substance in the region between the subcutaneous and muscle layers.

This was the Doma Iron Body, a sign that Limit Breaking was near.

As ng Chuan focused his thoughts, this black substance was about to erge, covering the surface of his body.

After testing it several tis, he discovered its wonderful properties.

Much like the [force field] surrounding a Celestial Demon, it coats the body with a black film, aiding the body in resisting damage.

At this mont, this black film more resembles a flowing black qi wall rather than a solid material.

"Once the limit is broken, this film should be more or less finalized..."

The Limit Breaking of Doma Iron Body holds significant aning for him in actual combat.
