Gou Zai Xianwu Chaos World, Physical Sainthood

After much deliberation, Lu Cheng gave up on the idea of ​​finding another martial art to improve his leg strength.

There's no need to run away when facing someone weaker than yourself.

Those who are stronger than you should run as fast as you can.

The "Wind and Thunder Flash" technique can cover a distance in a single breath; if you can't even escape that, then all other martial arts techniques are useless.

The books on defense and protection are not very thick.

Among them are seventeen human-level martial arts techniques, six earth-level martial arts techniques, and one heaven-level martial arts technique.

The Heavenly Rank technique, called "Golden Jade Robe," is a martial art similar to Iron Shirt, but a hundred times more powerful.

Once mastered, it can generate a layer of vital energy barrier on the body surface.

As long as the vital energy continues, the barrier will not be broken.

But as impressive as it is, the barrier to entry is extremely high.

In addition to needing to reach the Qi Refining Realm to cultivate, it also requires refining 99,999 strands of primordial energy on the body surface and controlling them to "weave" a jade garment.

Even after forging the jade armor, one still needs to constantly allocate a portion of one's vital energy to maintain and nourish it.

This means that one's cultivation level is inherently reduced by 10%.

"It is said that only the sect leader has mastered this technique, the 'Golden Jade Burial Suit,' but no one has ever seen how effective it is."

Seeing Lu Cheng looking at this martial art, Wu Qi, who was standing to the side, spoke up:

"In my opinion, Junior Brother might as well take a look at that 'Subduing Dragon and Suppressing Elephant Technique'."

"The Subduing Dragon and Suppressing Elephant Technique?" Lu Cheng flipped back through the pages with a hint of doubt.

He vaguely remembered this martial art, but he had only glanced at it before overlooking it.

The description of this martial art is really not very impressive.

It only says that after mastering the skill, one's strength will rival that of a dragon or an elephant, but it doesn't mention any protective effects.

Lu Cheng understood the principle that brute force can overcome all techniques, but he didn't believe that a low-grade Earth-level martial art could produce much strength.

Moreover, it doesn't align with my primary objective.

"Not bad." Wu Qi took the catalog, flipped through a few pages, and handed it back to Lu Cheng.

"This 'Subduing Dragon and Suppressing Elephant Skill' was created by Master Baopuzi. Master Baopuzi was extremely skilled in hard skills and external training, and he had sparred with martial artists from the Vajra Temple many times."

"When the patriarch's Qi cultivation was perfected, he was able to borrow the Vajra Dragon Elephant Technique from the Vajra Temple to study, and then successfully broke through to the Martial Sect realm."

"When I created the 'Embrace Simplicity and Return to Truth' technique, I also created the 'Subduing Dragon and Suppressing Elephant Technique' at the same time."

"The Eight Treasures Glazed Elixir of Vajra Temple can achieve its maximum effect when combined with the Vajra Dragon Elephant Skill."

"But if we replace it with this 'Subduing Dragon and Suppressing Elephant Technique,' the effect is not bad either."

Upon hearing Wu Qi's words, Lu Cheng was overjoyed and began to read carefully.

The Body Refinement Realm is designed to enhance a martial artist's physical fitness.

If this "Subduing Dragon and Suppressing Elephant Technique" can truly fully utilize the effects of the Eight Treasures Glazed Elixir, it will be far superior to other Earth-rank martial arts techniques.

After looking at it for a while, Lu Cheng finally reached out and tapped on the table of contents page, saying:

"In that case, I'll listen to my senior brother. For a protective martial art, I'll choose the 'Subduing Dragon and Suppressing Elephant Technique'."

Wu Qi smiled and said:

"Then I wish you success in your body training, junior brother, and that your strength reaches ten thousand jin!"

Lu Cheng laughed heartily, "Hahaha, Senior Brother Cheng's words are auspicious."

Having successfully selected two martial arts techniques that suited his taste, Lu Cheng was very satisfied.

The subsequent selection process became even more meticulous.

Even those types of hidden weapons that he didn't intend to practice, he looked at them all.

In the end, two techniques were selected.

One is the offensive martial art "Divine Transformation," and the other is the "Spiritual Rhinoceros Technique," which allows one to vaguely perceive the opponent's cultivation level.

"Divine Transformation" is a low-grade Earth-rank martial art. Its full name should be "Thirty-Six Transformations of Divine Transformation." It is a complementary martial art to the mid-grade Earth-rank martial art "The Profound Understanding and Realization Chapter."

The Tongxuan Wuzhen Pian is adept at imitating the forms and techniques of other martial arts.

This "Divine Transformation" is not an imitation, but a fusion.

It can merge thirty-six martial arts techniques with the same attributes and categories into one.

The resulting martial arts technique can be upgraded two ranks consecutively.

In other words, the thirty-six high-grade human-level fist techniques can be combined into one mid-grade earth-level fist technique.

One thousand two hundred and ninety-six high-grade human-rank fist techniques can be combined into one low-grade heaven-rank fist technique!

The only requirement is to master all martial arts techniques.

This would be quite difficult for others, but it was a piece of cake for Lu Cheng, who had the [Destiny] in his hands.

The chance to learn a low-grade Earth-rank martial skill can be exchanged for countless mid-grade Earth-rank and even Heaven-rank martial skills. It's an incredibly worthwhile deal!

The other technique, "Lingxi Jue," is much simpler and belongs to the miscellaneous martial arts category.

By releasing one's own energy, one can sense the other person's energy field.

However, it is useless against martial arts techniques that can conceal one's breath.

Seeing that Lu Cheng had chosen a martial art, Wu Qi couldn't help but speak up:

"Junior brother, are you sure you want to choose these two subjects?"

"The 'Lingxi Jue' is fine, but this 'Shenxiang Bian'..."

Wu Qi smacked his lips a few times and said:

"It's not that junior brother can't master it. To be honest, I also practiced this martial art, but that's because my cultivation has stagnated, and I have plenty of time to study it."

"But you are different, Junior Brother. You are currently at the stage of improving your skills. It might be a bit inappropriate to spend all your time on martial arts."

"Or perhaps you could leave yourself an opportunity to choose at your own pace?"

"There are quite a few good martial arts techniques here."

Lu Cheng smiled slightly:

"Thank you for your consideration, Senior Brother. However, I am also quite confident in my own comprehension. This 'Divine Transformation' technique is practically tailor-made for me!"

"Tailor-made?" Wu Qi looked at Lu Cheng with a strange expression and chuckled twice:

"Ah, my junior brother's spirit is truly enviable, hehe."

"In that case, come upstairs with me to get the cultivation manual."

After noting down the numbers of the four martial arts techniques, the two climbed the steps.

Upon reaching the second floor, the layout suddenly changed.

What greets the eye is a dazzling array of colors.

More than ten rows of bookshelves are arranged in order, each with its own shelves.

Each shelf contained a scroll, enveloped by light shields of different colors.

The two stood at the top of the stairs, and Wu Qi pointed to the bookshelves inside and said:

"The light shield is another protective formation within the pavilion. Human-level cultivation techniques and martial arts are represented by red light, with light ranging from low to high, indicating lower, middle, and upper grades."

"The light at the Earth level is blue, and it also ranges from light to dark."

"The purple ones are Heavenly Rank."

Lu Cheng nodded.

The two continued walking, and Wu Qi said as they went:

"For human-level cultivation techniques, simply place your disciple token on it, and the formation will automatically close. For earth-level techniques, you'll need an elder's token from the peak."

"As for the Heavenly Rank, the Peak Master must be present in person."

As they spoke, the two arrived at the fourth floor, where "Divine Transformation" was classified as a fist and foot martial art.

Wu Qi, familiar with the area, led Lu Cheng around the bookshelves in front and arrived at a row of bookshelves illuminated by blue light.

He affixed his token to the square that read "Divine Transformation," and the pale blue light flashed and disappeared in an instant.

Next comes the sixth level of "Subduing Dragon and Suppressing Elephant Technique", the seventh level of "Spiritual Rhinoceros Technique", and the eighth level of "Wind and Thunder Flash".

After finishing everything, Wu Qi gave his final instructions:

"Junior brother, please remember that all martial arts techniques can only be viewed inside the pavilion. If you take them out, it will instantly activate the pavilion's protective array, and you will face an attack equivalent to that of a Qi Refining Perfection expert."

"Leaving the pavilion is unrestricted, but entering the pavilion requires finding an elder to reactivate the formation."

After Lu Cheng confirmed, Wu Qi turned and went downstairs.

Lu Cheng took a deep breath and picked up "Wind, Thunder, and Lightning" to read it.

After an incense stick had burned, Lu Cheng's sea of ​​consciousness suddenly shone with golden light, and a profound message appeared in his mind.

[Secret Technique: Wind and Thunder Flash]

[Rank: None]

[Level: Not yet entered]

[A secret technique combining formations and weapon crafting, possessing immense power and astonishing effects.]

……

After incorporating the remaining three gates into the [Heavenly Mandate] pillar of light, Lu Cheng did not leave the pavilion.

Instead, they started from the second floor and swept away all the martial arts techniques of all ranks.

She didn't leave the house until the moon was high in the sky.
