Chapter 97 The Path of Martial Arts (Fourth Update, Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Having mastered the cultivation technique, Lu Chen felt much more at ease.

Next, as long as he cultivates step by step, he will be able to truly begin his attempt to break through to the Skin Refining Realm.

His path in martial arts can continue to expand!

However, with half an hour to spare, Lu Chen planned to continue browsing the martial arts collected by the Great Zhou Martial Temple in the armory.

He looked up at the rows of ironwood bookshelves around him, a hint of fervor in his eyes.

Now that he has mastered all the martial arts techniques he possesses, it is time for him to learn a few new ones to further enrich his martial arts system or enhance his current martial arts methods.

Lu Chen walked towards the area where martial arts books were stored.

This area is larger than the cultivation area.

The bookshelves are arranged in rows, each with a bronze plaque indicating its location.

Fist and palm techniques, leg techniques, body techniques, grappling techniques, weapon techniques —

As Lu Chen walked along, his gaze swept over the wooden plaques one after another.

Bagua Swimming Palm, Mantis Intercepting Fist, Eight Desolations and Six Harmonies Fist, Tiantai Demon Suppression Skill, Thirteen Steps of Chasing the Wind, Snake Shadow Entangling Silk Force —

Dazzling.

Each martial art seems to have its own unique features.

Lu Chen was able to remain calm at first, but the more he looked, the more itching he became.

I want to learn that too.

I want to practice that too.

Baguazhang can supplement the changes in combat.

Mantis boxing enhances interception techniques.

The Eight Directions and Six Harmonies Fist can enhance the power of frontal punches.

The Tiantai Demon-Suppressing Skill can also enhance the foundation of external martial arts training.

And those movement techniques, hidden strength, and weapons—it seems that every path leads to greater strength.

If time weren't limited, he would have loved to move the entire armory back to the Lu residence and practice each weapon one by one.

Zhou Lingfeng stood not far away, watching Lu Chen walk among the bookshelves, and couldn't help but chuckle.

"What, are you seeing things?"

Lu Chen put down a secret manual and said with a wry smile, "That's true, Lord Zhou."

"The armory has too many martial arts techniques, and each one has its merits."

"For a moment, I didn't know what to learn first."

Zhou Lingfeng walked over slowly and said, "This is normal."

"Most people who enter the armory for the first time are like this."

"Especially for someone like you who has already tasted the benefits of combining multiple martial arts, it's easier to feel that everything is good and want to learn everything."

o

Lu Chen nodded.

These words hit the nail on the head.

He possesses the destiny that "practicing a skill a hundred times will surely lead to success," meaning that no martial arts technique is beyond his aptitude.

If others study too many things, they are prone to biting off more than they can chew.

But he was different.

Given time, and with diligent practice in each subject, he will eventually achieve results.

That's why he originally wanted to pursue the goal of "mastering all the essentials of martial arts in the world".

Fists, palms, legs, body techniques, grappling—he wanted to learn everything.

It's just that I can't find the focus right now.

Lu Chen pondered for a moment, then turned and clasped his hands in a fist salute to Zhou Lingfeng: "Lord Zhou, I would like to learn two more new martial arts techniques."

"I just can't figure it out right now."

"I hope you can recommend one or two to me."

Zhou Lingfeng smiled upon hearing this.

"That's not difficult."

"But you have to tell me first what type of martial arts you want to learn."

Lu Chen was slightly taken aback.

"What type—"

He lowered his head in deep thought.

Now he possesses the Golden Ape Through the Forest Leg movement technique, the Mighty Vajra Palm palm technique, the Azure Dragon Through-Arm Fist fist technique, the Iron Wire Grappling Hand grappling technique, and the Heart-Destroying Hidden Force technique.

But if asked what he was missing, he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Lu Chen remained silent for a while, then asked Zhou Lingfeng, "Sir, what are the main styles of martial arts in this armory?"

'

"Which type of martial arts do you think is the most powerful?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Lingfeng said calmly, "All martial arts in the world have their strengths and weaknesses."

"Those who are physically strong can withstand weapons."

"A master of hidden strength can injure someone without them even realizing it."

"Those skilled in grappling can lock tendons and break bones."

"When weapons are mastered to the extreme, every inch longer makes them stronger, and their killing power surpasses that of fists and feet."

"So when you ask which type of martial arts is the most powerful, there is no standard answer."

Lu Chen listened attentively.

Zhou Lingfeng changed the subject: "However, of all martial arts techniques in the world, speed is the only thing that cannot be broken!"

"Speed ​​is the only way to win—" Lu Chen's eyes lit up, and he felt his mind clear instantly.

Zhou Lingfeng looked at Lu Chen and said, "Quickly, we need speed, we need explosive power!"

"You can study and delve deeper in these two directions."

Lu Chen nodded and clasped his hands in thanks: "Thank you for your guidance, Lord Zhou!"

Zhou Lingfeng's words were like a wake-up call, instantly giving Lu Chen the direction for his current martial arts training.

Zhou Lingfeng thought for a moment, then turned around and led Lu Chen to the bookshelf.

"You already have the Golden Ape Through the Forest Kick, a leg technique that is agile and suitable for dodging and weaving."

"If you want to improve your speed, I suggest you choose a movement technique that allows you to dash forward in a straight line and burst forward over short distances."

Zhou Lingfeng took a secret manual from the bookshelf and handed it to Lu Chen.

"For example, this 'Thirteen Steps of Chasing the Wind'."

Lu Chen took the manual and carefully read through the introduction.

"Thirteen Steps of Chasing the Wind": A movement-based martial art. Emphasis is placed on short-range bursts of speed; within thirteen steps, each step accelerates, making it suitable for preemptive attacks and pursuit.

Acceleration over short distances.

Zhou Lingfeng said, "It's not top-notch, but it's very practical."

"If you combine it with your Golden Ape Through the Forest Kick, one is agile and the other is aggressive, and they will complement each other."

Lu Chen nodded.

This course is definitely suitable for me.

Zhou Lingfeng then led him to another row of bookshelves.

"As for the outbreak—"

He pondered for a moment, then took down a secret manual from the top floor.

"You can take a look at this book."

Lu Chen looked down.

Thunderous Bone-Exploding Fist: This technique uses qi and blood to vibrate the muscles and bones, instantly unleashing a powerful punch that strikes like thunder shaking the bones. It is extremely lethal and can enhance punch speed and explosive power. Practicing this technique requires strong muscles and bones, and abundant qi and blood; otherwise, it can easily injure the arm bones.

Lu Chen's eyes lit up.

Punching speed, explosive power.

This martial art almost perfectly corresponds to the direction Zhou Lingfeng just mentioned.

Zhou Lingfeng said, "The Thunder Sound Bone-Exploding Fist is not easy to master."

"It doesn't rely on complex moves to win, but rather on training a burst of energy and blood in a single moment."

"Once mastered, punches will be faster and short-range bursts will be more powerful."

"If you can combine it with the Azure Dragon Tongbei Fist, it should be able to take your Azure Dragon Force to the next level."

Lu Chen nodded.

It must be said that Zhou Lingfeng's vision and understanding of martial arts are truly remarkable.

Lu Chen spent a long time looking through the armory, feeling that each martial art had its merits and he couldn't decide which one to choose. But Zhou Lingfeng had selected two martial arts that were extremely suitable for him in such a short time.

With the "Thirteen Steps of Chasing the Wind" and the "Thunderous Bone-Exploding Fist," his combat power will undoubtedly increase even further.

He glanced at the price tag on the manual; the two martial arts techniques together cost only three hundred and fifty taels.

He can afford it perfectly well.

"Thank you for your trouble, Lord Zhou!"

Lu Chen solemnly thanked Zhou Lingfeng.

Zhou Lingfeng, however, reminded him: "In the path of martial arts, qi and blood are the foundation."

"At this stage, you should focus on honing your Qi and blood, and break through to the next level of skin refinement as soon as possible."

"Martial arts can be learned gradually."

Lu Chen nodded: "Thank you for your guidance, sir!"
