Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 199: Chapter 122: First-level Extreme Speed! Locked Up! _2

He shook his head, casting aside these thoughts, and continued practicing martial arts.

The second Bone Protecting Pill had already been consumed. His bone tempering progress was steadily advancing. Each day, he only needed to spend a certain amount of time on this. The remaining time was allocated to several other martial arts techniques.

However.

Lately, the martial arts technique he spent the most time practicing was the Flying Thunder Leg.

”Flying Thunder Leg’s breakthrough to Special Effect Realm should happen today!”

Since yesterday, the Flying Thunder Leg’s proficiency had already reached 99% in the Perfect Realm.

Inside the courtyard.

Gu Sheng was earnestly practicing the Flying Thunder Leg. On the Plum Blossom Stakes, his movements were as swift as lightning; at times, he resembled an eagle spreading its wings, leaping distances of several meters, and at other times, his kicks were like thunder erupting, with fierce leg winds resembling flashing strikes of lightning.

With Gu Sheng’s current sensory abilities, if anyone passed by from afar, he would immediately sense them, so he didn’t have to worry about being discovered.

Gu Sheng focused all his attention on refining his leg techniques.

His speed grew increasingly faster, leaving behind trailing afterimages. Occasionally, his whip-like kicks exploded the air with loud crackling sounds.

No one knew how much time had passed.

Suddenly, Gu Sheng’s movements changed drastically, as if someone had pressed an acceleration button. His already lightning-fast speed surged dramatically.

Whoosh!

Like a gale sweeping through, the fallen leaves and dust in the courtyard were stirred into a frightening maelstrom by his terrifying speed. It was as though a curtain of dust had been pulled over—it only took the blink of an eye for Gu Sheng to traverse from the front yard to the back yard, so quickly that his afterimage lingered in its original spot!

Gu Sheng looked at his legs in surprise. Just moments ago, he had distinctly felt a powerful force gathering and erupting within them.

He pulled up his status panel.

[Name]: Gu Sheng

[Age]: 17

[Realm]: Blood Refining Realm (Perfect)

[Martial Arts]: Chopping Wood (First-level Ripping), Archery (First-level Penetration), Iron Stone Fist (First-level Giant Strength), Shapeshifting Skill (First-level Strong Body), Snake Breath Skill (First-level Snake Breath), Flying Thunder Leg (First-level Extreme Speed), Golden Body Skill (Great Achievement 89%), Furious Blood Three Forms (Perfect 18%), Helian Weapon Casting Skill (Small Success 32%), Blood Activation Skill (entry-level 67%)

...

Within the Martial Arts section of the panel, the Flying Thunder Leg had now impressively reached First-level Extreme Speed!

”First-level Extreme Speed? So this is the special effect of the Flying Thunder Leg?”

Gu Sheng’s eyes lit up with joy. Just earlier, he could fully sense the explosive acceleration of his speed—his movement speed had increased by nearly forty percent. If he unleashed all his power, traveling ten meters in one step would be no challenge at all!

A forty percent improvement was incredibly powerful.

It’s worth noting that speed is inherently tougher to enhance than strength. A mere ten percent increase in speed is enough to gain an overwhelming advantage in combat. But a forty percent boost? That’s practically an invincible edge.

With the Flying Thunder Leg gaining the First-level Extreme Speed special effect, Gu Sheng’s advantage became even more pronounced.

Even Bone Refining Realm experts might not be able to match his speed—unless they were martial artists specializing in movement techniques at an advanced realm.

”Not only that, but after Flying Thunder Leg reached the special effect realm, it faintly seemed to be blending with Iron Stone Fist?”

Gu Sheng felt a small shock in his heart.

He had been simultaneously cultivating three body-strengthening martial arts to the point where his skin, membranes, and blood had merged into one entity. Though the realms of all three martial arts were quite high, he had never experienced this kind of synchronization before. Each martial art operated independently and distinctly.

”Is this the effect of the panel? Or is this the natural insight gained when body-strengthening martial arts reach this level of mastery?”

”If I can successfully fuse my three body-strengthening martial arts, wouldn’t it become equivalent to a complete, unified first-rate body-strengthening martial art? Maybe even surpass it!”

Excitement surged in his eyes and his heart increasingly leaned toward the latter explanation.

Now the Golden Body Skill was also nearing the Perfect Realm. If the Golden Body Skill also achieved the special effect realm, it might truly come to pass. Thinking this, his anticipation grew even stronger.

Meanwhile, the Blood Activation Skill had also successfully reached the entry-level realm.

Although for now it could only lock less than one-tenth of Qi Blood Power, this was still a promising start. Gu Sheng simply needed to advance step by step and grind experience, and he would naturally elevate it to a level that ordinary Flame Cult disciples could only dream of achieving.

Gu Sheng exhaled lightly, feeling an unshakable calm in his heart.

He looked upward at the sky. The sun was just setting. After thinking for a moment, he decided to visit Gu Erniu’s home. While the affairs of Gu Jingang and the clan elders wouldn’t affect him personally, the same couldn’t be said for the common villagers.

...

At the Gu family’s ancestral hall.

Gu Jingang remained kneeling, his head bowed, lost in thought. In his hand, he clutched a white jade bottle containing the Blood Strengthening Pill.

Just now, Gu Xiaojiang had stopped by and talked with him extensively, revealing his innermost thoughts.

This significantly lifted his mood, which had been gloomy for two days.

”Xiao Jiang, that child...”

Gu Xiaojiang was someone he had watched grow up. From the moment Xiao Jiang began practicing martial arts, his exceptional talent had become evident—surpassing even Gu Jingang’s innate skill from his younger days. At a young age, Xiao Jiang had managed to cultivate the Iron Stone Fist to the Great Achievement realm.

When the clan decided to nurture Gu Xiaojiang with everything they had, Gu Jingang had fully supported the decision, personally training Xiao Jiang for nearly a year—even setting aside his own cultivation.

Having spent so much time together, he deeply understood Gu Xiaojiang’s character. Though Xiao Jiang was proud by nature, he treated others with tremendous sincerity. He was the sort of person who always kept his word.

”Forget it.”

Gu Jingang’s gaze flickered. He stared at the jade bottle in his hand, his tightly clenched fist slowly relaxing...

...

Gu Sheng was dining with Gu Erniu’s family.

The current Gu Sheng no longer needed to worry about food. High-grade millet, fresh fish, and fatty meats—these were items the average poor villager could only dream of, but to him, they were no longer a concern.
