Indestructible Primordial Spirit

  Lu Qi is not a person who likes to chat with people, but with Xi Tu, he still has some interest in chatting. Perhaps deep down in his heart, he regards Xi Tu as the first confidant in this world, and also finds a hint of that old man from his previous life on him.

  Same outward appearance, but rich inner world, in other words, some introverted and melancholic.

  Inadvertently, Lu Qi had already taken Xitu as the first friend in this world. Only he didn't know that due to different views of the world and life, Xitu didn't take him as a friend at all, but rather as a strong person worthy of respect and dependence.

  Yes, this is a world where the strong prey on the weak and the strong are revered. A world where the incompetent are enslaved by others, and the capable enslave others. In this world, emotions remain noble but have become increasingly sensitive and fragile...

  Of course, Lu Qi will still hand over the power to Xitu. The main reason is that he has no interest in this position of Dahutou at all. What he is most interested in now is to leave this ghost place.

  One is that having been accustomed to being a free person with human rights in the civilized world, suddenly becoming a slave and not even being able to own one's own name feels really bad. Two is because after fighting An Zhe, Lu Qi became more interested in the world of martial arts training.

  This is not for the sake of gaining any status, but because a martial artist has an innate passion for martial arts that runs deep in their bones. Originally, Lu Qi thought that the world's power and the qigong from his past life were similar, but now it seems that's not entirely true.

  As an internal martial arts master, I have also touched the threshold of true internal energy transformation. I have some understanding of qigong as well. However, whether it's qigong or internal martial arts, neither can achieve the level where the fist energy flows like a hidden current. Even if one has cultivated to the level of hidden energy, it is only a matter of hiding the whole body's energy that was previously visible, achieving a state of being hidden but not released, and releasing upon contact.

  But An Ze, every time he punches, his fist is powerful and surging, although it can't cause physical harm, it can make people feel the energy and air flow, like a dark current hitting the shore, soft and continuous but not losing its strength.

  This would have been an unthinkable situation if it had happened in his past life. Even if Lu Qi's martial arts skills had reached the realm of transforming energy, he wouldn't have been able to achieve this level. Although they hadn't directly clashed before, Lu Qi could almost predict that if he were to forcefully collide with him, that powerful fist would likely shatter his bones.

  The reason for this conclusion is that An Ze's final move was fundamentally incompatible with the power of biology, and he could actually spray out a powerful force from his back to shock him away, which was simply terrifying. Even if it were a master of transforming energy, at most, it would only spread all its energy on the surface of the skin, achieving the effect of strengthening defense and attack...

  Of course, the martial arts of Earth civilization and other strengths and weaknesses of the martial arts in this world are not to be compared for now. Just these two points can also see the advantages of this force key. Although it is not as flexible and varied as Neijiaquan, it has a lot to offer in terms of endurance and application of power.

  Perhaps because Lu Qi showed a strong interest in the power of the force, Xi Tu said: "An Ze's cultivation is the same as mine, it's the main family's python force technique. How to use the force, how to cultivate, I can't tell you, it's hard to say clearly after all my level is limited. However, there are some things that I can tell you..."

  "In our world where martial prowess is revered and the strong are respected, cultivation techniques like Li Qi are the foundation for every influential family's prosperity. Just like the Wang family, they were able to establish a vast enterprise in one region because their patriarch, Wang Wei, had cultivated his inner energy to the stage of 'hot blood'."

  "Hot Blooded Stage?" Lu Qi was taken aback, this was a new term he had heard: "Is this also a level of strength?"

  "Yes, this body refinement includes three stages: lower-grade bravery, middle-grade bone resonance, and upper-grade hot blood. According to the foundation of each stage, it is further divided into nine levels. The force technique that I and An Ze are practicing is only a lower-grade body-refining method, and even if we die trying, we can only cultivate up to the ninth level of bravery. To think about cultivating to the middle-grade bone resonance stage, without the corresponding marrow technique, it's simply impossible. As for the upper-grade hot blood stage, it's even more difficult than ascending to heaven, and there is a specialized method called the Blood Technique."

  "Bravery, Bone Chilling, Hot Blood!" Lu Qi murmured: "From the perspective of external training of tendons, bones and skin, it's actually a very interesting kind of division..."

  "I've never seen a master of the Hot Blood stage, but I have seen masters of the Bone Resonance stage!" Xi Tu said: "Through the Courage stage, they tempered their physical strength to the extreme, using external force to squeeze out the energy from within their bones. Such masters, once they enter battle, their entire skeleton resonates with a thousand pounds of force, it's truly formidable!"

  "Power bursts from outside to inside, the whole skeletal system crackling?" Lu Qi's heart was greatly moved: "This is similar to the concept of inner strength in internal martial arts, just like when I was training my inner strength to the stage of hidden strength, even walking normally would make my bones crackle like thunder..."

  Xi Tu didn't know what Lu Qi was thinking, and he continued with a look of admiration: "I once saw a warrior who had reached the Bone Resonance stage, holding a giant log weighing three thousand catties in his hand, yet still able to walk freely, his movements agile and effortless. I heard that at the peak of the Bone Resonance stage, one can even lift objects weighing five thousand catties with ease, and move as swiftly as flying!"

  "Lifting five thousand catty heavy objects with one arm, and still being able to run?" Lu Qi was shocked, this was an existence that had transcended the limits of human physiology. In his past life, he hadn't been foolish enough to try such a thing, but he estimated that when he reached the stage of transforming his energy, lifting five thousand catty objects wouldn't be a problem, and using one arm wouldn't be a big issue either. However, being able to run with swift steps was a bit too exaggerated.

  "Isn't it terrifying? This is just the power of a Bone Resonance stage warrior, and the strong ones in the Hot Blood stage are even more frightening. Just from the perspective of strength alone, a force of 10,000 jin is effortless. It's said that a strong person at the ninth level of Hot Blood can single-handedly blast open the gates of a city, charge into an army of thousands and kill ten times without changing their expression, with physical strength that makes one tremble with fear. However, such figures are almost always high-ranking officials or heads of influential families, rarely seen in everyday life."

  Can a lone warrior bring down the gates of Wan Jun City? Even if he charges back and forth ten times amidst thousands of soldiers, not even Zhao Zilong, the unmatched general from the Battle of Changban Bridge in past life's history, was this terrifying! Lu Qi's heart surged with excitement as he listened. Heaven had indeed been kind to him, knowing he was a martial arts fanatic, so it threw him into this world. The martial arts system of this world is far more powerful than that of his previous life.

  Lu Ji finally showed some excitement and surprise that a young man should have, and Xi Tu seemed to be very accomplished, continuing to drop another bombshell: "In fact, the hot-blooded stage of martial artists is not considered strong yet!"

  "How is this possible? Isn't it said that there are only three stages of cultivation?" Lu Qi was shocked, he really couldn't imagine what could be stronger than a Hot Blooded Warrior.

  "Yes, the Body Refining stage only has three levels, but it's said that above the Body Refining warriors, there are even more powerful warriors who can cultivate the Mystic Connect Secret Art, operate the Five Elements techniques, move mountains and seas, fly through the sky and escape into the earth, with nothing being impossible!" Xi Tu's eyebrows danced as he spoke, as if he was this kind of divine being at this moment.

  "Old household head...... you didn't deceive me?" Lu Qi was stunned, could it be that he, like the protagonist of the novel, hadn't arrived in a martial arts world but rather a fantasy world?

  Xī tú suddenly extremely irresponsibly smiled: "Anyway, I haven't seen it myself, and I'm just listening to others talk about it, so it should be true, right? It's said that our Cloud Country's Guardian General and National Master are also this level of super strong, but who knows?"

  "You're really out of breath!" Lu Qi sighed, it seems that any world has legends existing, no matter how civilized, they all yearn for this kind of flying and escaping god-like figure.

  "Don't think what I'm saying is just a legend." Xitu was like a boastful sailor at the moment: "The power of Yunze country is not very strong, but why hasn't it been annexed by its neighboring countries, especially Songguo? It's said that it's because of the existence of these two great masters of mysticism. And look at families like the Zhujia, they come every year to collect goods and food, a little less food is no big deal, but this medicinal material can't be lacking in the slightest. It's said that it's used to offer sacrifices to some immortal sects, seeking their protection."

  "Hmm, I really hope those fairies can take good care of us slaves who pick herbs and dig meat for them!" Listening to Xitu's several "so-called", at this time, he had already taken Xitu's words as an entertaining rumor.

  As a postgraduate who has received higher education on Earth and studied "beasts", I can believe that some good qigong and boxing methods can tap into human potential, giving people a physique comparable to bears and tigers, but it's hard to believe in some overly exaggerated things.
