The Great Martial Arts World: Hot Topics and Great Heroes

"Why is it the Five Sacred Mountains again this time?" Chu Luren was even more puzzled, but judging from his tone, he seemed to have already guessed.

"Second brother, what's wrong?" the bastard asked.

"It's nothing, let's wait a bit..." Chu Luren planned to try a few more times. If he could find out whose unique skill it was, he would be more certain!

Chapter 959 Speculation

"Second brother, what's wrong? Why the rush?" The bastard was pulled out of the house by Chu Luren, completely bewildered.

As they crossed the square in the rock, the bastard dog saw breakfast being served and couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you eating breakfast?"

That's right, a whole night has passed...

"We'll be back to eat soon." Chu Luren hurriedly pulled Gou Zazhong into the stone chamber.

"Is your fourth grandfather currently in the fourteenth stone chamber, 'The Five Sacred Mountains Are Light'?" Chu Luren asked as he walked in.

"Five Sacred Mountains? I don't recognize the characters, but it is indeed the fourteenth secret room." The bastard remembered where all the people he knew were.

Upon hearing this, Chu Luren became even more certain of his guess, and then he went to find Ding Busi...

Upon arriving at the fourteenth stone chamber, Chu Luren immediately pulled out Ding Busi, who was slowly gesturing with a nine-section whip.

"What are you doing? Don't disturb me from comprehending my ultimate technique! Let go, or I, your Fourth Master, won't be polite..." Ding Busi shouted.

The noise drew frowns from many people around, but Chu Luren straightened his chest and unleashed the aura of "Zhao Ke Man Hu Ying," instantly sending waves of power straight to people's hearts.

With a sudden burst of power, his tiger-like body trembled, his tiger-like eyes glared, and his domineering aura was instantly unleashed. Whether they were martial arts heroes or seasoned veterans of the martial world, everyone around him withdrew their gaze—ignore him, ignore him, don't delay our comprehension of profound martial arts techniques...

Ding Busi's protests were ineffective, and he was quickly subdued by Chu Luren and dragged out of the stone room.

"Fourth Grandfather, Second Brother is just asking you some questions, don't resist anymore..." the bastard advised from the side.

"You little brat, I think you are... Ouch!" Ding Busi was about to scold him again when Chu Luren twisted his arm behind his back.

"I'll ask you questions, you answer them. If you tell me the truth, you can go back. Otherwise, I'll break your arms and legs so you can never go back for the rest of your life!" Chu Luren said fiercely.

The bastard was shocked: "Second brother! That won't do! Wouldn't that mean Fourth Grandfather wouldn't be able to eat, drink, or go to the toilet? He'd die!"

“No, you can feed him, give him water, and help him relieve himself,” Chu Luren said, making perfect sense.

The bastard dog also thought it made sense, and some of them nodded in agreement, convinced by the argument.

"You...you...you...just ask!" Ding Busi said defiantly.

"Is the Golden Dragon Whip Technique your unique martial art?" Chu Luren asked.

"That's right! The number one technique in the nine-section whip, the 'Golden Dragon Whip Technique,' was created by me, Fourth Master!" Ding Busi replied proudly.

He does know how to find a "track," and there aren't many people who use the nine-section whip—if Gu Santong were as open-minded as him, he would have been "the best in the world" long ago.

"Is there anyone else who knows how?" Chu Luren then asked.

"No! The martial arts world is getting worse with each generation. I'd rather lose the skills than pass them on to those little bastards! Even with this bastard, I only taught him the basics!" Ding Busi said with a cynical air.

"Well... I'll recite a mantra for you, so listen carefully." Chu Luren said, reciting the Golden Dragon Whip Technique from memory.

That's right, this is the martial art that Chu Luren "washed out" from the "Five Sacred Mountains are light"!

"The Five Sacred Mountains Turn Light" is a unique and powerful martial art, somewhat based on the principle of using the opponent's force against them. However, its emphasis is on the word "unique," as it can appear heavy but is actually light, and light but is actually heavy, reversing the yin and yang of force...

As a whip technique, the Golden Dragon Whip Technique, though made of a nine-section iron whip, also incorporates the element of "uniqueness" within its strength!

Chu Luren looked at the "Golden Dragon Whip Technique" and felt it looked familiar, so he asked Gou Zazhong to confirm. It was indeed Ding Busi's martial art, and Gou Zazhong had never seen Ding Busi use it.

Ding Busan's weapon is not a nine-section whip. Considering that the Ding family's martial arts tradition is the Six Harmonies Fist, then this "Golden Dragon Whip Technique" is very likely derived by Ding Busan from the "Ding Family Six Harmonies Fist"!

Thus, the current verification process for Chu Luren began...

Ding Busi was completely dumbfounded. What Chu Luren was reciting with such gusto was indeed the "Golden Dragon Whip Technique," and some of the colloquial expressions were even Ding Busi's own habit!

"You little thief! How dare you steal from my heart?" Ding Busi asked in a panic.

However, the question that came out made Chu Luren want to cut out his tongue as well...

"Think carefully, where else could I have 'stolen' it from?" Chu Luren asked, trying to entice him.

"Impossible! I... I never wrote it down! It's just in my heart!" Ding Busi insisted.

Chu Luren ignored him and kicked him back into the stone chamber.

Although Ding Busi was still resentful, he soon threw himself back into his cultivation—"Hmph, once I, Fourth Master, have mastered unparalleled martial arts, I'll cripple your claws! So you won't be able to steal my skills!"

Chu Luren has already confirmed that the Dao patterns in this stone chamber actually contain a part of Ding Busi's unique martial arts.

Since this was created by Ding Busi, it means that it has nothing to do with what his predecessors left behind...

There are roughly two possibilities. One is that these Dao patterns of heaven and earth are like a mirror, and when you comprehend them, they are also "comprehending" you.

In this way, the reason why the Dao patterns of heaven and earth are constantly changing and why everyone can understand different aspects becomes traceable!

It's like everyone is listening to a teacher with mind-reading abilities give a lesson, and this teacher may not necessarily be more intelligent than all the students at the beginning.

However, because he can read everyone's thoughts, or rather, read deeper levels of knowledge and insights, he can cause all students' ideas and inspirations to constantly collide, answer each other's questions, and guide each other. In this way, he appears to be an omnipotent teacher...

Another possibility is that the Dao patterns of heaven and earth are truly "omniscient and omnipotent"—just like the Tang Dynasty writer Lu You said, "Literature is born of heaven, and a skillful hand may obtain it by chance"... The Dao patterns of heaven and earth are "martial arts" itself, and all the insights of martial artists are just a little bit of it obtained unintentionally!

Chu Luren leaned more towards the former, since the latter seemed far too fantastical...

Moreover, the Chu Lu people also have further ways to verify this!

After having breakfast with the bastard, Chu Luren missed the rest day team building activity of the Thirteen Elders. He returned to his small courtyard and began to create his own martial arts.

With the martial arts accumulated by the Chu Lu people, it wouldn't be difficult to create a completely new martial art—the Golden Dragon Whip Technique, at this level, could be mastered in a day!

Seeing how busy he was, Ghost Child and the others were a little worried.

This young man is quite well-behaved; could he be planning to work overtime?

"Dog, is your second brother alright? Don't push yourself too hard, or you'll get caught up in it!" Mi Shiba specifically asked Dog Zazhong about it.

"Second brother... he'll definitely be alright!" the bastard said confidently.

Chapter 960 Familiar Function

In less than a day, Chu Luren created a sword technique—based on the "True Explanation of the Five Sacred Mountains," incorporating techniques from the "Dugu Sword Skill," and utilizing simulated Evil-Repelling True Qi and Sunflower True Qi to form an extremely fast sword aura...

Because it excels at striking quickly and targeting the enemy's vitals, Chu Luren named it "Supersonic Sword".

The name is rather "awkward," but Chu Luren deliberately chose it this way because, as the creator, Chu Luren can name things however he wants.

The good thing about this name is that it definitely won't be the same as someone else's...

As for its power?

It can be said that it incorporates many powerful elements, which has reduced its power considerably.

Because of its very crude design, its power is only slightly stronger than the Golden Dragon Whip Technique!

Normally, Chu Luren wouldn't care even if he obtained it—otherwise, wouldn't Chu Luren just create his own martial arts every day?

In reality, for Chu Luren, creating his own martial arts is far less efficient than deeply comprehending the unique skills he has already mastered.

After the badge of "Supersonic Sword" appeared, Chu Luren began to fuse "Ten Steps to Kill One Person" with "Marrow Cleansing Classic" in a state of enlightenment, which was very targeted, and he wanted to cleanse "Supersonic Sword" from it!

"Kill one person in ten steps" is a martial art known for its speed and group combat, which can be demonstrated through swordsmanship, knife skills, or fists and feet.

If these Dao patterns of heaven and earth are truly the outline of all martial arts in the world, then it is likely that the "Supersonic Sword" could be extracted from "killing one person in ten steps"!

but……

What was recovered was merely a copy of "The Azure Lotus Sword Technique, Part 1"...

Huh? Wait a minute, using "merely" doesn't seem quite right. This "Azure Lotus Sword Technique" is the sword technique of Li Bai, the Three Immortal Swordsman.

Good stuff, good stuff. Although it was previously integrated into "Ten Steps to Kill One Person", it's like how sometimes Chu Luren's integrations can be more and more problematic, burying the essence and secrets within. Now that the original version has been retrieved, it can be used as a reference!

However, for Chu Luren now, what's more important is that this proves that at least for now, "killing one person in ten steps" does not include "Supersonic Sword". Therefore, even after his enlightenment, Chu Luren was unable to obtain the specific sword technique he was looking for, and only randomly obtained Li Bai's sword technique...

Yes, the first part of the "Azure Lotus Sword Technique" is also known for its speed.

In other words, of the two previous guesses, the second one, "the outline of all martial arts in the world," is unreliable, and Chu Luren can test it again!

Seeing that it was already time for dinner, Chu Luren arrived at the square inside the rock.

Upon seeing Chu Luren appear, the Thirteen Elders who had been discussing something all showed joy. The dog bastard surrounded by them also hurriedly said, "Second Brother, you've finally come out. All the seniors were very worried."

Because Chu Luren didn't come for lunch, they were worried that he might be having a mental breakdown and wanted to work overtime...

Fortunately, Chu Luren was not in the stone chamber, but in his own secluded courtyard, which put them at ease.

Seeing this, Chu Luren had no choice but to sit down and have dinner with everyone, and then he said, "Don't worry, everyone, I have already figured out some of the key points of the Dao patterns of heaven and earth, and I just need to verify them."

Upon hearing this, the ghost child and the others looked extremely conflicted.

If one of the thirteen elders said that, the other twelve would definitely stop him—you're possessed! Do you want to work overtime? Wake up!

However, Chu Luren caused the strange occurrence in the final stone chamber yesterday, which made the Thirteen Elders have some different expectations for him...

"Let's test it out... that's fine, but if it fails, it's okay, we'll wait for you to come out and play together!"

"That's right, we still have one more day off tomorrow, so you should at least stay with us until the end of our break, right?"

Yu Ziya and Mi Shiba gave him some words of advice with concern.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing," Chu Luren reassured them.

Ghost Child still gave Dog Bastard an extra instruction: "Dog, keep an eye on your second brother from now on."

"Oh." The bastard nodded without any objection.

Chu Luren readily agreed and did not refuse Gou Zazhong's kindness. As for the others, they would not enter the stone chamber area on rest days; this was a matter of principle!

Once principles are violated, they may be tainted, leading to the urge to "work overtime".

After the meal, Chu Luren and Gou Zazhong entered the fifth stone chamber, while the Thirteen Elders waited outside.

Chu Luren stared blankly at the words "kill one person in ten steps" and the portrait of the "assassin" for half an hour before he came to his senses. He then shook his head violently to indicate to Gou Zazhong that he was alright, and the two of them walked out of the stone chamber.

After leaving the dilapidated house, the thirteen elders quickly surrounded him. Some complained that Chu Luren had stayed too long, some were curious about what Chu Luren had actually figured out, and others offered words of comfort...

Chu Luren then said, "Everyone, please calm down... Second brother, please protect me."

As Chu Luren spoke, he sat down cross-legged and entered a state of enlightenment by concentrating his energy and mind. The Thirteen Elders were already used to Zhou Beijun entering a state of enlightenment anytime and anywhere.
