Quickly conquer the martial arts world, and let your fists dominate the heavens!

Chapter 112 [Destiny: Heart and Martial Arts as One]

"I would love to have the chance to learn from Mr. Chen, but I need to take care of business first. I heard that the Demon Star was killing innocent people indiscriminately, so I came here immediately."

Mitsui Hayato looked towards Suktun, but Suktun, whose head was the only part of his head visible, couldn't answer him.

Yu Zhihao turned around and said, "Thanks to Mr. Chen, the Demon Star has been killed on the spot. Congratulations!"

Mitsui Hayato blinked and said, "This person doesn't look much like the demon star Chen Zhan in the photo!"

"Perhaps he has the art of disguise? Lord Hayato said the other day that once you reach the Transformation Realm, all sorts of mysterious and incredible things are not worth mentioning."

"Well, that's true."

Mitsui Hayato didn't want to get entangled in this matter any further. Sukdon's actions were not at his behest, and he wouldn't resort to such underhanded tactics.

Now there's no way to verify the truth, and Suktun was dressed exactly like the Demon Star, committing murder in the street. At the time, people of all ages in Fengtian, and even the Japanese, had seen him.

There's no point in dwelling on this kind of thing.

After all, the true demon star couldn't possibly appear at this time.

After the New Year, a Sino-Japanese Goodwill Martial Arts Tournament will be held, so it's not surprising that there are many new martial arts practitioners in the city now. However, he has never seen someone like Demon Star Chen Zhan before. He is too fierce and too brutal. He doesn't even have that much killing intent!
However, given his identity as a demon star, even if he were alive, he wouldn't be able to participate in the martial arts competition, which is truly a pity.

Mitsui Hayato hopes the other party will cause trouble again, so he can have a good fight with him!
Life and death, victory and defeat, can be decided in an instant. That feeling of walking on the edge of life and death is the most exciting and the best way to improve your skills!
"Mr. Chen has rid the people of Fengtian of a scourge. You can come to the South Manchuria Railway Investigation Department tomorrow to collect your reward." Mitsui Hayato said indifferently. After speaking, he glanced at Chen Zhan again, got into his car, and left.

Yu Zhihao also came over to ask with concern, "Are you alright? Are you hurt?"

Chen Zhan shook his head:
"Small injury."

"I'm leaving now. Give my reward money to the families of those three girls. They were just a few steps away from dying in front of me."

Chen Zhan wasn't blaming himself, but the feeling of helplessness at seeing someone die right before his eyes, when he could have saved them if he had been just a step faster, was truly unbearable.

His helplessness wasn't limited to the scene before him.

Instead, I thought about how many more boys and girls would perish in the flames of war at this very moment, or even a year or more from now.

Later statistics showed that during the entire War of Resistance against Japan, the domestic population loss was at least 5000 million.

Most of them did not die on the battlefield, but were starved to death, slaughtered, tortured, or used for experiments!
On their way back to the courtyard, Chen Zhan and Ye Ningzhen were both in low spirits.

Ye Ningzhen felt guilty. Sukedun had spotted her first and attacked her. As she was escaping, Sukedun passed by a female student and casually slashed her to death.

If we hadn't gone in that direction, perhaps we wouldn't have died, or perhaps none of the three of us would have died.

Chen Zhan came to his senses first, and seeing Ye Ningzhen's appearance, he did not offer any comfort.

It's not that fragile.

If Ye Ningzhen could be defeated by this, then there would be no need for her to practice martial arts or shooting anymore; she could just go home and take care of her children.

Chen Zhan washed his hands, applied the poisonous sand, and used his internal energy to expel the poisonous blood from his body. He did the same to his eyes. After resting overnight, he was completely cured.

[Self-Healing] is simply a divine skill. Chen Zhan was able to fight with increasing ferocity even after poison sand entered his arm and eyes, completely unconcerned, all thanks to his tenfold [Self-Healing].

At that time, as the poisonous sand corroded his body, Chen Zhan could even feel himself constantly repairing himself; the rate of erosion by the poisonous sand was not much faster than the rate of repair.

Moreover, killing Suktun will grant me luck points, allowing me to change my fate once again.

[Slayed Grandmaster of Internal Energy, Martial Arts Prodigy Sukedun, and gained 500 points of Luck!]

View the sea of ​​knowledge.

[Subject: Chen Zhan]

Age: 28

[World: Republic of China]

[Fate: Killing Martial Soul - Azure (Can be changed)]

Lifespan: Over seventy years

[Ability: Fist Technique - Neutralizing Force]

[Talents: Destiny Enhancement, Iron Bones, Self-Healing]

[Luck: 1270 points]

Note 1: Without illness or disaster, one can live past 100 years old and pass away peacefully in bed; one's internal strength can be displayed beyond the norm.

Note 2: Talent can steal luck, and destiny can be altered through luck!

When he was last promoted, he hadn't yet reached the highest level of skill. He died peacefully at the age of ninety. Now he's probably over a hundred.

If one can regulate their body after achieving a state of "transformation" (化劲), and avoid injury or disaster, it is easy to live past one hundred years old.

Of course, masters of the Transformation Realm have all fought their way up, and it's rare for them to go through a lifetime without encountering calamities.
Chen Zhan immediately began to alter his destiny. Although this alteration of fate did not appear to instantly increase his strength, the subtle modifications to his body during the process were still fascinating.

My muscles and bones trembled slightly as I felt the overwhelming, domineering force surging within me.

Physical improvement is secondary; the real challenge lies in the surge of energy into the depths of the soul, transforming its most fundamental essence.

It's unclear, the way is unclear.

Chen Zhan felt that the bloodlust he had felt before had completely subsided. He no longer needed to consciously control it, and the desire to kill insanely was no longer deep in his heart.

After the urge to kill subsided, my mind became clearer and my consciousness became more lucid.

Chen Zhan had the illusion that he could see through everything.

The previously vague aspects of the Great Dragon's True Meaning in "Dragon Form Search Bone" are now completely clear, allowing for better application and practice.

The obscure aspects of various martial arts such as Xingyi, Bagua, and Taiji can be understood once the mind is aligned!
Even more! They can rehearse it in their minds!
This is? ? ?

Chen Zhan was shocked. In the stories of immortal cultivation, there is a concept called divine consciousness or spiritual consciousness. Immortal cultivators develop spiritual consciousness, which allows them to simulate and practice cultivation techniques in their minds and explore all things.

At this moment, Chen Zhan felt that his spiritual sense was not as magical as his external sense, but his ability to internalize martial arts was not far from that of his spiritual sense.

Check the status again.

[Subject: Chen Zhan] [Age: 28]

[World: Republic of China]

[Destiny: Heart and Martial Arts as One (Green)]

Lifespan: Over seventy years

[Ability: Fist Technique - Neutralizing Force]

[Talents: Destiny Forging, Iron Bones, Self-Healing, Spiritual Enlightenment]

[Luck: 270 points]

Note 1: Without illness or disaster, one can live past 100 years old and pass away peacefully in bed; one's internal strength can be displayed beyond the norm.

Note 2: Devouring Fortune and Forging Fate can plunder one's destiny, and one's fate can be altered through fortune!

After this change, literally speaking, it is no longer related to killing. Previously, according to his guess, the direction of the change of fate would be determined by the person's own choices and actions.

He had been assassinating Japanese soldiers and traitors, so his fate was also heading in the direction of killing.

But now it seems something's not right?
During this period, the killings increased significantly, with far more Japanese soldiers killed than in Tianjin, yet the direction of the increase in lifespan changed.

Could killing Japanese soldiers really calm the mind, make one's heart as still as water, and help with cultivation?

Chen Zhan checked the [Destiny: Heart and Martial Arts as One]

When facing an enemy, a clear mind allows one to enter a state of 'unity of mind and martial arts,' completely exempting one from the urge to kill, and enhancing combat intuition to 'penetrating insight.'

[For those who possess this destiny number, the clearer their mind and the fewer distracting thoughts they have, the stronger the effect. If they become restless, fearful, or hesitant, their condition will plummet, and they may even trigger a backlash from inner fire.]

Chen Zhan also realized that almost no destiny has only positive effects; there will always be side effects.

However, this is normal. Fate is not fixed. For example, the fate of someone who is "short-lived" is one of many misfortunes and is prone to dying an unnatural death.

However, this is not always the case, and Chen Zhan has repeatedly relied on his own strength to overcome calamities.

Therefore, destiny is only a direction; what follows depends on the individual's own strength.

With Chen Zhan constantly teetering on the edge of life and death and provoking the Japanese, even the best of luck couldn't guarantee him a carefree life.

Once you understand all this, looking further ahead, you'll discover an additional talent.

[Spiritual Enlightenment: Always calm and clear-headed, capable of performing martial arts!]

The description is only twelve characters long, but each character is important, especially the last one, which describes the martial arts techniques that can be performed.

This means he can practice martial arts in his sea of ​​consciousness!

Martial arts are not like written knowledge; you can't just read and memorize them. Read the book a hundred times and its meaning will become clear.

You must practice your boxing, practice it, and practice it a thousand times, and your skill will naturally become proficient.

Now that he can practice his skills in the sea of ​​consciousness, he is practicing all the time.

Every movement, posture, sitting, and lying down embodies the principles of boxing!
The other two talents have also improved to varying degrees, but it's hard to appreciate them without injury.

Chen Zhan wondered if he could withstand a hail of bullets once he reached the Core Formation stage, his Great Dragon True Meaning was fully realized, and his Iron Bones and Self-Healing talents were elevated to the top.

That's a humanoid nuclear bomb!
Unkillable, invincible, and impossible to capture, they charge and slaughter at will!
You can go anywhere!

However, it's still a long way off; there are many more steps to take before we reach that point.

At least in terms of the golden elixir entering the abdomen and achieving complete transformation into a elixir, it is still somewhat difficult.

The essence of "embracing the elixir" is to "concentrate the body's qi and blood in the dantian, forming a state of primordial chaos like that of an unborn infant."

This state requires not only extreme physical tempering, but also the ability of "introspection" on a spiritual level. By focusing one's attention on the flow of qi and blood, one can ultimately achieve the convergence of intention, form, essence, qi, and spirit into one place, like a sphere that is unfathomable.

Transform the three elements into one, and embrace the elixir within your abdomen!
In Taoism, it is also called the Golden Elixir Way.

Many great martial arts masters in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China believed in Taoism, and Taoist terminology is better used to explain the realm of martial arts.

In Taoism, "embracing the elixir" is equivalent to "condensing the golden elixir." Of course, in Taoism, this is just a metaphorical "golden elixir," not the absorption of the essence of the sun and moon or the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. If it were to actually form a large bead within the body, it wouldn't be martial arts training, but rather the cultivation of immortality.

If a large bead truly forms inside the body, that's not called a golden elixir, that's called a gallstone!
Similar to Buddhist relics, the relics that emerge from the cremation of a master after his death are large gallstones.

The high monk's practice and lifestyle habits during his lifetime, including a long-term vegetarian diet and cross-legged meditation, led to the formation of large stones due to the characteristics of his body's metabolism.

It was glorified as "Buddha's relics".

Chen Zhan's descendants often saw that some master turned into relics after death, and they found it very funny to hear how precious they were.

Treat kidney stones like a treasure.

No one has disturbed me for the past two days.

Chen Zhan naturally couldn't personally collect the reward that Mitsui Hayato mentioned.

Yu Zhihao sent someone to do it for him.

Chen Zhan had already adjusted his body to its optimal state and continued to use the Golden Toad Fishing Technique and the Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound Technique to vibrate his bone marrow and internal organs. There was no way to speed up the internal training of the marrow and organs; he could only slowly wait it out.

However, there are indeed various methods for externally training muscles, bones, and skin that can increase the toughness and strength of muscles and bones.

Sukedun's Iron Palm technique is both soft and hard; his wrist can be rotated in reverse without breaking, which is quite miraculous.

Ye Ningzhen said that there was a secret medicine in the Cheng School that could strengthen muscles and bones, which greatly interested Chen Zhan.

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao.

I was planning to find an excuse to visit the Gong family, but unexpectedly, Gong Ruomei sent someone to deliver an invitation.

Please invite Chen Zhan to your residence as a guest.

Chen Zhan plans to bring Ye Ningzhen along this time.
