Martial Arts Awakening, Bloodfire Fist Master

"What? You've already reached level ten?"

Ji Feiyun, the owner of Qinghe Martial Arts School, stared in disbelief.

The divine light within them couldn't help but burst forth from their turbid eyes.

I thought the seventh disciple had returned to the city for some other reason, but I never expected him to tell me such a pleasant surprise.

Is this normal?

Last time, the word "town" caused this disciple to break through to the ninth level of martial arts on the spot.

And it's only been a few days, and he's already level 10?

Is this reasonable? Is this martial arts?

Is martial arts something so easy?

Zhang Qingshan bowed slightly.

"I am mainly grateful for the effects of the two Divine Power Pills bestowed upon me by my master. After swallowing them, their medicinal power was extraordinary! I have benefited immensely; in fact, this was mainly due to the effects of these pills!"

Ji Feiyun shook his head, disagreeing with Zhang Qingshan's explanation.

Although the Divine Power Pill is powerful, it can only provide a little inspiration to some level nine martial artists who are stuck at a critical point, and provide some foundation for their physical bodies.

That's ridiculous!

This disciple's leveling speed is incredibly fast, unbelievably fast. If it were anyone else, they would probably still be solidifying their level nine foundation, or preparing and pondering level ten. But right before my eyes, he went from level eight to level ten as easily as eating and drinking.

It feels unreal!

Ji Feiyun felt it was all unreal!

His body was trembling slightly.

If it's true, this disciple's talent is beyond imagination. Perhaps he really can see the scenery of the master above the limit martial artist before he dies.

His eyes lit up. If it was true, then the seventh disciple in front of him would be an exceptionally good disciple, his dearest disciple!

The next moment, she worried that Zhang Qingshan was deceiving her.

He stepped to his side and grabbed Zhang Qingshan's arm with his hand, spreading his strength and gentleness.

He retreated to his original spot and stared intently at Zhang Qingshan.

"Let me see your might."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Qingshan seemed to change completely, his sharp edge and powerful aura becoming increasingly imposing.

Of course, this imposing aura couldn't intimidate him; in his eyes, it was nothing, and it had no effect on his mind or body.

But Ji Feiyun's hands were trembling, and deep in his eyes was a wild joy.

"Good, good indeed, good disciple, truly a good disciple! My disciple has the potential to become a master of blood transfusion!"

"Hahaha, I must try my best to live two more years so that my good disciple can have the opportunity to grow."

The martial arts school now holds a future and hope.

The gloom that had been hanging over the martial arts school had dissipated considerably.

In high spirits, Ji Feiyun felt hopeful and that he could live another year or two.

He laughed heartily, which attracted the attention of his senior sister, who was recuperating, who came to inquire about his behavior.

At the same time, the eldest sister's gaze swept strangely over Zhang Qingshan. Could it be true, as her fourth and fifth junior sisters had said, that Zhang Qingshan was particularly good at flattery and always made his father very happy?

Ji Feiyun waved for his daughter to leave, which made the senior sister even more curious.

It wasn't that I was dissatisfied, but rather that I wanted to learn as well, so that I could make my father happy.

The lobby quieted down again.

"Now that you've reached level ten, the purpose of your return is self-evident."

"I will tell you about the path ahead. After a martial artist reaches level ten, their physical body and willpower will have reached the limits of ordinary flesh and blood. With a sufficient foundation, they can then look forward to the transcendent level."

"And between the tenth level of martial artist and the transcendent martial master, there is a crucial intermediate step, which is to sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth."

"Why can a flesh and blood body be indestructible by swords and impervious to water and fire? Martial artists develop their physical will to be independent of heaven and earth, but this does not mean that they do not need external things at all. Ancient ancestors sought the growth of their physical will from within and sought external resources to assist them. And external things, in addition to those great medicines, great meats, spiritual objects, and spiritual roots, also include the spiritual energy of heaven and earth."

Zhang Qingshan looked a little puzzled.

The master explained:

"Everything in the world has a unique energy. If you are perceptive and sensitive, you will find that not only all things, but even different people have different feelings, such as decay or vitality, kindness or ferocity, disgust or closeness. These different feelings include the real influence of smell, blood and energy, as well as some indescribable mysterious feeling."

"There are also various animals, plants, and even other inanimate objects, which also have different qi. Some people say that this qi is the fluctuation of all things. All things are emitting fluctuations outward, from the sun, moon, and stars to sand and grass, down to every part of all things, they all have different fluctuations."

"Between heaven and earth, there are countless fluctuations, and there are peerless experts with strong wills who are in harmony with the fluctuations of all things. They can sense the secrets of heaven and cause and effect, threats and opportunities from the countless fluctuations. This is what is called 'the cicada senses the autumn wind before it blows.'"

Ji Feiyun paused for a moment.

Give Zhang Qingshan time to understand.

It is indeed difficult for ordinary martial artists to understand these statements. Just like him back then, he had some understanding of the Qi, but he was puzzled for a long time about what fluctuations were. Everything was calm and peaceful, so how could there be fluctuations?

In his view, although Zhang Qingshan has grown up quickly, he is, after all, from a rural background and will definitely need time to understand.

In fact, Zhang Qingshan understood after only a moment's hesitation.

I had heard of this theory in my previous life, so I had no doubts whatsoever.

Seeing his apprentice's nonchalant and matter-of-fact expression, Ji Feiyun wasn't sure if he truly understood.

Perhaps those who are unusual do possess unusual comprehension abilities.

Let's continue the explanation.

"Yes, among these billions of fluctuations, some are beneficial to the mind and body, while others are harmful. The beneficial fluctuations are called spiritual energy."

"Leaving aside the power of those peerless figures, let's return to your current situation. With the physical body and will of a level ten martial artist, try to comprehend the spiritual energy. Once you successfully sense it, you will have entered the realm of transcendent cultivation, becoming a half-step martial master. Becoming a true transcendent martial master is only a matter of time."

At this point, Ji Feiyun sighed.

"This step has blocked many people, like your second senior brother. He's been a level ten martial artist for over three years, but he hasn't been able to comprehend it successfully. Perhaps he'll comprehend it in the next moment, or perhaps he'll remain stuck in the same place for his entire life!"

"Next, I'll say it, and you write it down!"

"All things possess a spirit, all things possess a vital energy. Stopping thoughts is like water settling in the heart; thoughts are like an empty valley, vast and deep; vital energy and blood become a clear mirror, and strength ripples... First, the method of stepping on the ground: feet firmly planted on the earth, a single thought sensing the pulse; second, the method of observing water: breath like flowing water, observing the three thousand meanings of water... the method of sensing wind: using intention to sense the wind, touching the profound senses, observing heaven and earth, observing mountains and rivers..."

There aren't many words.

It's only three to five hundred words.

After Ji Feiyun read it aloud once.

"Can you remember the parts?"

After reaching level ten in martial arts, one's energy is high and memory improves, but normally it's still difficult to remember several hundred words clearly.

But Wu Gong Ge will be there to reminisce later.

"Master, I have memorized it."

Ji Feiyun had no doubts. After all, his disciple's cultivation speed was so exaggerated, and since there was nothing special about his physique, he must have unique comprehension and wisdom.

It's normal to have a photographic memory and an uncanny ability to remember what you hear; otherwise, it would be unreasonable.

"Yes, this method is called the 'Mountain and River Spiritual Energy Sensing Method.' It is a secret technique that transcends martial artists. All sensing techniques in the world are similar, with the same essential goal and effect. However, unless you are a peerless spiritual body that can sense the spiritual energy of all things by nature, and you do not have this sensing method, you can only sigh in vain!"

Zhang Qingshan's heart stirred.

"Master, how long did it take you to successfully sense it back then?"

Ji Feiyun was taken aback.

"Haha, your master does have some good aptitude; it only took half a year! Your grandmaster even praised me for having the talent to move blood, what a pity!"

"Although I don't yet know how long it will take you to successfully sense it, even if you do it faster than me, don't be arrogant. You should know that there are exceptionally talented individuals who are said to be born with the ability to sense spiritual energy, and there are also those with extraordinary comprehension who succeed in sensing it in just three to five days!"

He said these things.

Ji Feiyun was also curious about how long it would take this disciple to successfully sense the connection.

He knew the other person's characteristics: they might be mediocre when they first started to understand, but before long, they would suddenly have an exaggerated epiphany and accelerate their understanding.

Zhang Qingshan was also curious about how long it would take for him to have his "sudden enlightenment".

It's like winning the lottery, full of anticipation.

Based on the calculation of the spirit-infusing time of the previous cultivation method, it must have taken more than a month.

He bid farewell to his master and returned to his own quiet room.

[Jiang Liu had originally planned to raise a large sum of money for travel expenses to other places to further his studies using the Four-Bend Breathing Technique, but unexpectedly, he was directly taught it. It turned out that the prerequisite for transcending limits in cultivation was sensing all things. Thinking of this, he began to recall the Mountain and River Spiritual Energy Sensing Technique little by little. "If I hear the Dao in the morning, I can die content in the evening." Even if he were to sacrifice himself, let alone go to the back mountain for seclusion, he would feel it was all worthwhile.]

Three to five hundred words, written without a single mistake, were written on the paper.
