Martial Arts, the Little Master of the Ancient Tomb, Becomes Stronger When You Drink

108: Chapter 108 Cultivation, Fusion, Enhancement, and EmotionsSu Xuan sat cross-legged on the ground and opened a Secret Manual.

Muscle

One of Shaolin Temple’s peerless skills.

”Stand upright, hands clasped before the chest, Qi settles and spirit sharpens, mind clear and demeanor reverent.

Toes grip the earth, hands spread wide, heart calm and breath still, mouth agape and eyes wide.

Palms support the heavenly gate, gaze upward; tiptoes touch the ground, body stands straight; power circulates through legs and ribs, solid as a planted tree; clench teeth tightly without slackening; tongue generates fluid to moisten the palate; nose regulates breath to feel peace of mind; fists slowly withdraw...”

Looking at the contents of the Muscle, surprise continuously flashed in Su Xuan’s eyes.

The Muscle truly lived up to its reputation as Shaolin Temple’s top peerless skill; it was indeed profound and unfathomable.

As Su Xuan kept memorizing the contents of the Muscle, many tiny golden points of light gradually emerged in his mind.

They slowly spread from the Tianling Acupoint to the Meridians throughout his body, forming a new attribute of Internal Energy.

A flash of light crossed Su Xuan’s mind. He closed his eyes, turned his large hands over, and slowly circulated the Internal Energy within his body.

As the Internal Energy circulated, that new Internal Energy slowly fused with his previous Internal Energy, forming an even more mellow and robust Internal Energy, which finally flowed slowly into his Dantian.

Dongfang Bai was watching curiously when suddenly, an extremely powerful Aura surged from Su Xuan’s body, several times stronger than before.

Dongfang Bai’s beautiful eyes suddenly widened as she looked at Su Xuan incredulously.

He mastered it already?!

How so fast?! Didn’t Little Su just start looking at it?!

This...

The commotion here was too great. The young nuns who were moving stones and pulling carts also stopped and looked over, their beautiful eyes revealing astonishment.

Su Xuan, however, was still continuing. After the new Internal Energy entered his Dantian, the Meridians within his body rapidly expanded.

They expanded to roughly twenty times that of an ordinary person.

It was a significant enhancement over the original foundation.

Furthermore, the purity of the Internal Energy after the Fusion had also increased severalfold.

After all this, although his cultivation level hadn’t increased, his combat power had grown exponentially.

Before the Fusion of techniques, he could already easily overwhelm his Master at the Middle Stage of the Heavenly Human Realm and the Old Monk at the Late Stage of the Heavenly Human Realm.

After the Fusion, within the Heavenly Human Realm, he would have no more opponents. Perhaps he could even try challenging a higher Realm — the Land Immortal!

At the same time, a long-awaited heavenly melody sounded in Su Xuan’s ears.

[Ding, congratulations Host, Muscle has broken through to the Beginner stage.]

[Ding, congratulations Host, preliminary Fusion of Muscle and Profound Art successful.]

[Ding, congratulations Host, Profound Art has fused four Sect-Guarding level techniques and broken through to a World-Suppressing Martial Skill.]

As the System’s notification sounds faded, Su Xuan slowly opened his star-like eyes, which flickered with a sharp light.

It seemed his guess was indeed correct; the Profound Art also required fusing four Sect-Guarding Techniques to break through.

Feeling the soaring strength within his body, Su Xuan felt somewhat excited.

Truly worthy of a World-Suppressing Cultivation Method; the boost it brought was indeed immense.

This way, the speed of breaking the earth could also be faster, allowing him to leave this wretched place sooner.

It was rather laughable to think about it. If those from his previous life knew that his technique Breakthrough was just for smashing rocks and digging tunnels, they would undoubtedly mock him.

Thinking of this, Su Xuan couldn’t help but shake his head with a smile.

Suddenly sensing something, Su Xuan looked up.

He saw the group of young nuns not far away gathered together. Some were leaning against carts, some were propped on shovels, some were leaning on others’ backs...

No matter how they were positioned, the gazes of these young nuns were uniformly fixed on him.

Pairs of large, ’inexperienced’ eyes stared at him unblinkingly.

A few black lines involuntarily appeared on Su Xuan’s forehead. He said sternly, ”Aren’t you going to go dig? Being this lazy, when will we ever leave this wretched place?!”

Hearing Su Xuan’s scolding, the young nuns snapped back to reality. One by one, they lowered their heads sheepishly and, like little penguins, pushed their small carts and took their tools to dig!

Seeing the young nuns leave, Su Xuan withdrew his gaze.

Suddenly remembering something, he ’glared’ fiercely at Dongfang Bai again, ”You didn’t even keep an eye on things!”

Dongfang Bai: ”...”

Then, without giving Dongfang Bai a chance to speak, Su Xuan picked up another Secret Manual and started reading.

The corner of Dongfang Bai’s mouth twitched slightly, but she didn’t speak, just watched Su Xuan curiously.

The secrets on this bad egg were really getting more and more numerous, tempting her to always want to understand him more deeply...

On the other side, Su Xuan wasn’t thinking so much. He focused all his attention on the new Secret Manual.

Marrow Cleansing Classic

Another Sect-Guarding level technique, a top-tier martial art of Shaolin Temple.

With the previous experience as a reference, Su Xuan’s subsequent cultivation became faster and faster.

He soon fused the Marrow Cleansing Classic into the Profound Art as well.

However, the improvement this time wasn’t as significant.

It only expanded his Meridians to about 23 times that an ordinary person’s, and the purity of his Internal Energy didn’t increase much either.

It seemed that after reaching the World-Suppressing level, achieving another major Breakthrough would be somewhat difficult.

But Su Xuan wasn’t disappointed. He was already very satisfied with today’s gains; the rest could wait for another day...

Next, Su Xuan began his terrifying cultivation.

[Ding, congratulations Host, Marrow Cleansing Classic has broken through to the Beginner stage.]

[Ding, congratulations Host, preliminary Fusion of Marrow Cleansing Classic and Profound Art successful.]

[Ding, congratulations Host, Vajra Indestructible Bodydivine work has broken through to the Beginner stage.]

As the System’s notification sounds faded, a bronze-colored glow suddenly emanated from Su Xuan’s body.

In just a few dozen seconds, the internally and externally cultivated Vajra Indestructible Bodydivine work was also practiced by Su Xuan to the Beginner stage.

Finishing these wasn’t the end.

Golden Bell Shield Beginner

Arhat Fist Beginner

Mighty Vajra Palm Beginner

Thousand-Hand Tathagata Palm Beginner

One Finger ZenSuccess Beginner

Demon-Subduing Staff Technique Beginner

Demon-Subduing Staff Technique successfully fused with Profound Sword Art.

Similarly, due to the level of the techniques, this Fusion didn’t bring much improvement.

Su Xuan wasn’t disheartened. His current approach was to accept everything that came his way. Regardless of mastering them perfectly or not, he would learn them first, as it didn’t take much time anyway.

As long as the technique or martial art was ’presentable’ and powerful enough, he would practice it.

Dongfang Bai leaned against the wall, arms crossed over her chest, watching Su Xuan unblinkingly. Her beautiful eyes occasionally flickered with hints of astonishment, admiration, and an unconcealable trace of affection.

This little bad egg is too amazing!

Practicing martial arts is like child’s play to him. Techniques others wouldn’t encounter in a lifetime are casually mastered by this little bad egg...

Really... Dongfang Bai didn’t know what to say...

As she thought, Dongfang Bai’s gaze involuntarily fell on Su Xuan’s face.

Looking at Su Xuan’s serious expression, a captivating smile appeared at the corner of Dongfang Bai’s mouth.

This little bad egg, he looks really handsome when he’s not talking...

Marrying this little bad egg wouldn’t actually be so bad...

Ah! Dongfang Bai, what are you thinking?!

Little Su belongs to Sister Lin. How can you think like this and face Sister Lin?!

But Sister Lin also seemed to say that if you like someone, you should be together...

Mmm... It seems I really, really like this little bad egg...
