Martial arts

  Lying in the pond, feeling the icy water constantly washing over his body, Du Fei's feelings were extremely comfortable.

  Promoted to the seventh level of body refinement, it also means that all the meridians in my body are now fully unblocked, and the two words "waste" will never be associated with me for the rest of my life!

  As long as I continue to cultivate, breaking through the Nine Layers of Body Tempering and advancing to Martial Master are only a matter of time!

  With the remaining elixir in his hand, Du Fei believed that his time to break through to the 9th rank of Body Tempering would be much shorter than others.

  "Next is to consolidate and refine martial skills... The tribal comparison is only half a month away, it seems like I should hurry up..."

  Muttering to himself for a moment, Du Fei's right hand once again grasped the jade symbol on his chest.

  In the Jade Token, there is the Du family's Ice Heart Decision technique. Generally speaking, techniques are paired with several sets of martial skills to maximize the power of the technique.

  Of course, according to the level of Gongfa, the matching martial skills also have their differences.

  Du Fei was clear that his family's Du Jia Bing Xin Jue seemed to be only an eighth-grade technique, and the three martial skills that came with it were probably only eighth-grade as well...

  But at this moment, he couldn't decipher the message inside the jade symbol, so he also couldn't cultivate those three martial skills.

  But apart from this, it seems that I don't have any other martial skills.

  After some thought, Du Fei said faintly: "System, is there a suitable martial skill for me to cultivate now?"

  "Beep - question accepted, system searching... Beep - search complete, no information found containing the words 'martial arts'!"

  A cold electronic sound slowly echoed in Du Fei's mind.

  "Not found? How is that possible? Where did your previous cotton fist come from?" Du Fei was shocked and almost voiceless.

  "Beep... Question accepted, answer clear. The only manual of Xingyiquan contained in the system database is..."

  "What about the Gong Fa? What about the Dan Yao?" Du Fei couldn't help but ask hastily.

  "System searching... Search ended, no documents containing the words 'Gong Fa' were found... System re-searching... Search ended, there is one document in the system database related to Dan Yao, would you like..."

  The corners of his eyes twitched for a moment before Du Fei let out a sigh and said: "!"

  "Beep... Loading data..."

  As the cold electronic sound rose, Du Fei's extremely familiar alchemy scene suddenly appeared in his mind...

  "What the...! Is this system really that unreliable?! Tell me, is it true that in your database, apart from cotton fist and washing brain pill, there's nothing else?!"

  "Of course - not - "

  "What else?"

  "Insufficient permissions, unable!"

  "What... authority? Then how can I increase my authority?"

  "The question is unclear and cannot be answered."

  After a moment, Du Fei let out a somewhat speechless bitter laugh. Judging from the current situation, that unreliable system seemed really unreliable after all...

  Although, at first, I didn't quite understand what this unreliable system was used for, but now that I think about it, it seems that relying on it to obtain infinite martial arts, infinite skills, and infinite elixirs is absolutely impossible...

  "Damn it!"

  Du Fei let out a sigh, but wasn't too disappointed. After all, even though the system could only provide two pieces of information, with these two pieces of information, he had already taken the most difficult step on the path to cultivating martial arts!

  See you later! I can only rely on myself now!

  "It seems that the only way is to go to the family's Xiū Wǔ Gé (Martial Arts Pavilion) to find a simple martial art to cultivate...... No matter what, in half a month it will be the clan comparison, if I don't even have a martial art, I'm afraid I'll be in trouble."

  He took a deep breath, and Du Fei quickly changed his clothes, then carefully hid the crystal bottle filled with medicine, before rushing towards the Du family's large courtyard.

  After striding through the mountains for a few miles, Du Fei soon arrived at the back courtyard of the Du family's residence. He casually asked one of the servants about the way and after circling around the compound for a short while, a rather ancient and solemn-looking building appeared before him.

  The building is located in the central position of Du's Grand Courtyard, and around it, Du's guards are carefully guarding. Passersby passing by this place all have a few points of careful feeling.

  On the plaque above the main entrance of the building, the three large characters "Xiu Wu Ge" with flying dragons and dancing phoenixes make people's spirits shake.

  Du Fei nodded slightly at the guards around him, then showed his waist card representing his identity as a member of the Du family's inner circle, before slowly stepping up onto the stairs and entering the building.

  As soon as I entered the building, I felt a chill of cold air rushing towards me, making my eyes momentarily dim, and it wasn't until a moment later that I gradually adjusted to the light inside.

  The building is divided into three layers, the first two of which have ordinary martial arts hidden in them. The third layer, however, contains extremely high-level martial arts and internal skills that are unique to the Du family.

  Although Du Fei was not clear about the martial skills and techniques stored in the Du family, he was a little clearer that the first and second layers of martial skills should be nine-grade martial skills.

  The first floor of the building was a huge hall, with an extremely spacious interior. There were only a few scattered shelves around the perimeter, and on one side of the hall, there was a desk with an old man sitting behind it, half asleep and half awake. When he heard someone enter, his gaze swept over Du Fei's waist badge before he lazily said in a drawling voice, "Inner system badge, you can go to the first floor for ninth-grade martial skills or the second floor for eighth-grade martial skills... As for the third floor, you have no right to enter. Martial skills can be practiced within the building, but cannot be taken away. Those who violate this rule will be killed without pardon!"

  What was originally supposed to be a majestic and awe-inspiring statement was turned into a dull and lifeless one by this old man.

  Du Fei didn't pay much attention to it, but instead respectfully bowed his hands to the old man before slowly walking to the bookshelf, casually pulling out a volume of martial skills and starting to read.

  "Shuishi Fist, a 9th-grade martial skill, requires tempering the body to the 7th level before it can be cultivated. If successfully cultivated, one's punches can shatter rocks and break bones with a single strike, its power is extraordinary..."

  After the general introduction of the goods on the big road, the back is the fine cultivation method, and this set of broken stone fist also includes a small set of roads, I estimate that it will be able to greatly increase the power of this fist when it is launched.

  However, after taking a closer look, Du Fei didn't have much interest in the Shattered Stone Fist. In his opinion, practicing this fist technique seemed less reliable than directly using the Cotton Fist.

  After putting down the scroll, Du Fei casually walked to another bookshelf and pulled out another scroll, flipping through it at will...

  As time passed by, nearly half an hour had passed and Du Fei had already seen the martial skills of the first floor of Xiu Wu Pavilion quite clearly.

  However, these seemingly decent martial arts techniques didn't spark much interest in Du Fei, because the various ways of using internal energy described within them seemed to be already covered by his own Mian Quan.

  Once again, Du Fei let out a soft sigh after the mysterious and unparalleled fist technique. He took a slight breath, then slowly walked towards the second floor of the Xiū Wǔ Pavilion.

  The second floor of Xiū Wǔ Gé is slightly narrower than the first floor, but even so, the rows and rows of bookshelves still left Dù Fēi slightly stunned.

  He casually picked up a volume of martial arts techniques beside him and glanced at it for a moment, before a hint of satisfaction flashed across Du Fei's eyes.

  Although the martial skill in his hand was also a ninth-grade martial skill, the cultivation and exertion methods described inside had already involved true breath, which was far beyond what those goods on the first floor could compare to.

  After a moment, Du Fei couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It seemed that even though they were both ninth-grade martial skills, the difference between them was still quite large!

  However, since he had already reached the second floor, Du Fei's interest in ninth-grade martial skills was not great. He just circled around slightly and set his sights on so-called eighth-grade martial skills, but he couldn't find any for a while.

  "All eight martial arts skills are stored here, you don't have them on your side..."

  Just when Du Fei was getting a bit anxious and flustered, a soft and gentle voice suddenly sounded from behind him.

  Du Fei slightly furrowed his brow and immediately turned around to look.

  Then I saw a girl in purple clothes sitting casually on the ground in the corner of the second floor.

  The girl was probably thirteen or fourteen years old, but she had a clear and delicate face, white skin, and elegant temperament. She sat casually on the ground with her legs stretched out from under her purple skirt, revealing her slender white legs, which made people's fingers itch.

  What surprised Du Fei, however, was not these, but the numerous martial skill scrolls scattered around her, with at least dozens of large and small volumes, the girl casually flipping through them, looking rather careless.

  However, it was precisely the girl's appearance that made Du Fei unconsciously feel a few points of danger.

  This guy is not simple at all...

  After a slight warning to himself in his heart, Du Fei walked over slowly. When he got closer and took a closer look, he found that the girl's appearance was even more beautiful, with eyebrows and eyes like a painting, although she was completely different from Xiao Ai, but also an extremely stunning beauty.

  If Xiaoyi is a elegant lily, then the girl in front of her is an elegant and refined orchid.

  With a faint smile and nod, Du Fei then picked up the scattered scrolls on the ground under the girl's indication.

  "The Eight Trigrams Boxing Technique, Qiankun Fist!"

  When he saw the scroll, Du Fei's eyes twitched slightly, after all, an eighth-grade martial skill was extremely rare, and it was estimated that there were not many in the entire Du family.

  But if Du Fei's guess was correct, then these eight martial skills should have been concentrated in front of him by the girl in front of him, and he could watch them at will.

  What kind of person is this guy?!
