Chapter 41 The embryonic form of martial arts, overdrawing one's diligence
Tianmu City, south of the outer city.
Black Tiger Gang.
A burly figure, dressed in a mink coat, carrying a corpse with its head smashed open, strode over and threw the frozen body onto the wooden floor.
"Dead..."
"He died from having his head smashed open. The force entered his brain, shattered his brain matter, and extinguished his life force... just like the method used to kill Zhao Hu."
His gruff voice boomed, making the entire pavilion creak.
"Brother, you've discovered the killer of Zhao Hu? So you want Ah Si to go and bring him back?"
The man with a gruff voice, broad shoulders and a powerful build, was incredibly robust. His blood and qi were boiling intensely, and his eyes were like copper bells. He was none other than Xu Xiong, the third leader of the Black Tiger Gang.
The figure sitting in the armchair, staring at the corpse lying on the ground with its head smashed, lost in thought, was Xu Tai, the leader of the Black Tiger Gang.
"Zhao Hu's death was due to his own greed; he was misled by his nephew and wanted the reward from Steward Liu in the Xue family's apprentice courtyard..."
Xu Tai spoke calmly.
"As for this person, he carries the aura of a ghostly blood mark. The blood porcelain that Zhao Hu lost likely fell into his hands..."
Xu Tai said calmly.
"I happened to encounter this person in the black market of Ghost Porcelain at 'Monkey Master' in Drunken Fragrance Pavilion. I sensed his aura, so I asked Ah Si to keep an eye on him. But this person was only at the Entry-level cultivation. Ah Si probably thought he could capture him, but... he ended up getting killed."
"He's definitely a ruthless person. He's decisive and ruthless. As he smashed the forehead, he injected force into the brain, churning up the brain matter... He's incredibly vicious."
Xu Tai narrowed his eyes, a fierce glint flashing within them.
"He killed two members of my Black Tiger Gang...and most importantly, this person may know about the relationship between our Black Tiger Gang and the Blood Porcelain Cult!"
"By the way, have you found Zhang Hengyuan, the apprentice from the Xue family kiln in Xiabu Village?"
Xu Tai looked at Xu Xiong and asked.
Xu Xiong's back was bulging with tuberous muscles, his bones cracking and popping, his face contorted in a ferocious expression.
"He escaped. That guy fled into the snowy mountains. He's quite familiar with the terrain there, so he's not easy to find. But I did manage to twist the head off his helper, the martial arts master who wields a gun."
Xu Xiong grinned, revealing a mouthful of fangs like a vicious shark.
Xu Tai frowned: "Speed up the process and deal with Zhang Hengyuan as soon as possible. Zhao Hu exposed our relationship with the Blood Porcelain Cult. There are only a handful of people who know about this relationship..."
"Before our Black Tiger Gang has completed the unification of all gangs in the outer city, our relationship with the Blood Porcelain Cult must never be exposed! If our connection gets involved with that person and leads to their exposure, our entire Black Tiger Gang... will die!"
Xu Taisen said coldly.
Upon hearing this, Xu Xiong quickly closed his mouthful of shark teeth, seemingly feeling inexplicably terrified at the thought of that lord!
Xu Tai squinted, looking at the rising sun outside the carved wooden window.
"Kill Ah Si... I'll have people keep an eye on him!"
"A mere entry-level martial artist, what makes him think he can fly! This person has been struck by the Blood Seal; at the earliest six months, at the latest a year, the Blood God will surely settle accounts with him!"
"However, if we can capture it, tear its flesh to shreds, and have the sect's porcelain refiners forge it into blood porcelain, which can then be used to worship the Blood God, we will surely receive a gift from the Blood God!"
"I will definitely be able to completely tear open the 'mental inner landscape' and allow martial arts thoughts to enter it!"
Xu Tai took a deep breath; just thinking about it made him feel excited.
"I heard the killer is a claw hammer user... Let's secretly find out who around Zhang Hengyuan uses a claw hammer."
"Regardless of their cultivation level, list them all out and check them one by one!"
"Better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free!"
……
……
"Huff... huff..."
Inside the restaurant, Bu Che had a piece of beef in his mouth, his brows furrowed, and hot breath was coming out of his nostrils.
The bulging flesh between his brows was filled with intense, stinging pain. The Baque sword exhaled white air, then shot out like an arrow, as if piercing his soul.
The pain was so intense that he was almost in convulsions.
However, whether it was for a moment or a long time, the stinging pain between my eyebrows disappeared in an instant.
Bu Che felt his mind become incredibly clear, like the blue sky after a torrential downpour, crystal clear!
The spirit diffused, seemingly solidifying, transforming into a tangible arm.
Focus your thoughts on the wine glass in front of you, which is filled to the brim.
bang-
The wine glass overturned, and the yellow wine immediately spilled out.
"My spirit... has grown stronger again! It seems capable of influencing reality!"
Bu Che stared at the overturned wine glass, his eyes flashing with a sharp light!
Upon mental introspection, he immediately discovered that within the bulging Niwan Palace between his eyebrows, it was as if a door had appeared. The door was slightly open, and a gentle breeze seemed to be escaping from the crack, keeping his mind refreshed at all times, far surpassing what it had been before!
"Is my mental state... a manifestation of 'martial intent' that only a porcelain master can cultivate?"
Bu Che was overjoyed.
Ghosts and gods have their own thoughts, and martial artists cultivate their own thoughts to refine their spirit!
It is said that only the Refining Spirit Method can cultivate martial spirit. Bu Che does not have the Refining Spirit Method, so how can he also condense martial spirit?
"No, I'm still lacking. It's said that a porcelain refiner's martial will can influence reality with a single thought, manipulating weapons. I'm struggling so much just to tip over a wine glass; it probably doesn't qualify as true martial will!"
"A nascent form of martial arts?"
"Alright, with the impact of the white and pure energy, it seems my spirit has broken through its limits once again. Let's just call it a second spiritual breakthrough!"
Bu Che was in a great mood. He poured himself another glass of rice wine, slurped it down, and then proceeded to show off his meat and drink the wine in large gulps.
After finishing three pounds of beef, I drank the last drop of Shaoxing wine.
Bu Che was the one who calmly let go of his thoughts.
……
[Improving the Dao of Life: Diligently Cultivating (Ninth-Rank Dao Seed, currently on cooldown)]
[By diligently cultivating the Tao, one can increase their spiritual cultivation by 12%, thus gaining twelve years of diligent effort.]
[A diligent person can only maintain their diligence for less than twelve years; they have already exhausted their capacity for diligence, and their diligence becomes ineffective.]
Diligent people possess the innate qualities of the Eight Extremes; their diligence is automatically calculated. Thirty-six years of diligent effort are offered to you for mutual encouragement.
……
Before my eyes, sword energy flowed like light, constantly intertwining and forming a notification message on the screen.
"Senior sister's diligence, is it less than twelve years? Well... I've already used up six years of it, how much can she possibly have left..."
"However, being able to overdraw one's diligence is an unexpected bonus."
After the ten ghost and god porcelain statues that Bu Che bought from the monkey-faced old man in the ghost porcelain black market were all shattered, they absorbed 10% of the spirits.
Adding the 2% of divine soul gained from the broken porcelain that day, that makes a total of 12% of divine soul.
Unfortunately, I encountered the calamity of evil thoughts before I could even break the porcelain this morning; otherwise, I could have gained another 2% of my divine soul.
"Thirty-six years of diligent work..."
"This is the first time we've fought such a well-funded battle!"
Bu Che leisurely observed the number of years of diligence displayed on the panel.
This is enough for him to complete the Xue Family Qi and Blood Technique and Battle Body Fist and Hammer techniques to the level of mastery!
"However, the battle-body fist and hammer..."
Bu Che's eyes flashed as he took out the cultivation manual "Mixed Yuan Battle Body Hammer" that Old Zhou had just given him.
Gently open the manual, right there in the tavern, and begin reading.
A moment later.
A stream of light appeared before my eyes.
[Multiple diligent methods cultivate specific skills, forming a powerful combat force]
[Hun Yuan Battle Hammer (Rank 8) Beginner Level (0/5)]
