Entering and Exiting

According to Wang Sanyang, when cultivating a martial art technique, it's most suitable to start with a high-level one. It's like practicing a first-rate martial art from a young age; not only will you achieve success in martial arts, but your physique will also be subtly adjusted by the technique to be the most suitable for its cultivation. This way, both the difficulty of cultivation and breakthroughs in realms will be significantly reduced.

In other words, it's easier to go further and reach a higher ceiling on the Martial Way.

Of course, there's another situation that works.

That is, disciples who don't have outstanding innate talent or aptitude can first cultivate a complementary low-level martial art. Once they reach a profound level in the low-level martial art, they can then switch to cultivating a high-level martial art.

This makes it easier to master complex high-level martial arts. Moreover, because it's a complementary low-level martial art, the impact when cultivating a high-level martial art will be much less than with other martial arts.

Town Mountain Tower is currently following this path. Ordinary disciples in the tower first start by cultivating Raging Bull Fist. Once they achieve some success, they can obtain a complementary second-rate martial art.

For example, Thirty-Six Hand Strikes and Eagle Claw Thousand Jin Strength are both hand techniques, and these two second-rate martial arts are quite compatible with Raging Bull Fist.

As for the Vajra Twelve Forms Saber Technique, it's a formidable and overbearing saber technique. Although not as compatible with Raging Bull Fist as the previous two, it's the strongest in terms of killing power among the three.

"The influence between martial arts becomes more apparent at higher realms, but where can I find suitable second-rate martial arts?"

Lin Sheng frowned, then suddenly seemed to remember something and slapped his head.

"The martial arts influence each other, why haven't I felt any abnormality at all!?"

His eyes were sharp, and he lowered his head, his gaze falling on the blood-red circle on his chest, hidden beneath his wide clothes.

"I've already cultivated both the White Ape Leg Technique and Raging Bull Fist to the highest level. Although they are only third-rate martial arts, according to logic, I should have felt the conflicting influences between them during cultivation."

"But from last night's cultivation and before, I haven't felt anything amiss."

Lin Sheng clenched his fist, a bold thought suddenly rising in his heart.

Perhaps it was because of the Mountain Sea Scroll, he was extremely sensitive and knowledgeable about the changes in his own body, even able to clearly feel the meridians and sinews within him.

If there were any problems, he should have felt them more acutely than others.

"So the only reason I haven't felt any problems with my body is that there are no conflicts happening within me!!"

"What makes me different from others is the Mountain Sea Scroll. The reason I have this result is likely due to the Mountain Sea Scroll."

As he thought about how he always chose corresponding exotic beasts for integration during each cultivation session, this question gradually became clearer in his mind.

With this thought, he silently switched his integrated exotic beast to the Iron Yak.

He then carefully sensed the changes in his body during the integration process.

As the massive form of the Iron Yak slowly condensed in the blood mist space, the circular mark on his chest also extended several meridians, forming a blood-colored Iron Yak pattern.

Under deliberate perception, he finally discovered that his body's meridians, blood vessels, and various tissues had indeed changed. Although the changes were extremely subtle, they were truly present.

Seeing this, Lin Sheng's face finally showed unconcealed joy.

As expected, the reason he wasn't affected by the conflicts between martial arts was that after integrating the Iron Yak, his own meridians and blood vessels were already in the most suitable state for cultivation. This state was even more effective than reaching a profound level in a high-level martial art.

"For example, after integrating the Iron Yak, when I cultivate Raging Bull Fist, it's equivalent to having achieved the perfect cultivation physique that can only be obtained after reaching great mastery in a complementary higher-level martial art, which is why I have such monstrous cultivation speed."

"And it won't affect my cultivation of other martial arts. After all, when I cancel the integration, my body will return to its normal state. And after cultivating other martial arts, I can choose their corresponding integrated exotic beasts to gain powerful boosts again."

Lin Sheng's mind suddenly became clear. For others, simultaneously cultivating multiple martial arts was a thankless, even life-threatening task, but for him, it was perfectly suited.

"It seems that if I can't get second-rate martial arts for now, I can collect some other third-rate martial arts first."

Soon, Lin Sheng had made up his mind.

Lin'an County City, main urban area.

In a large courtyard adorned with luxurious decorations and numerous rockeries.

An old man with a salt-and-pepper beard, dressed in a brocade robe, stood with his hands behind his back. Several meters in front of him was a wide iron cage.

Inside the cage, two massive mountain wolves, as large as calves, were desperately tearing at each other. Beneath them lay a man struggling in pain.

"Master, I was wrong. I didn't mean to spill the tea. Please spare me... spare my life..."

The man being torn apart was dressed as a household servant and let out constant wails. However, facing two mountain wolves that had been starved for days, he had little chance to resist. In just a few breaths, he was bitten on the neck by the hungry wolves, a large portion of his flesh torn away, his eyes losing their life.

The old man watched this scene without any fluctuation in his eyes, as if the person being dismembered by the mountain wolves was not a human but an ordinary beast.

"Master, the gang leader Meng is here and wishes to see you."

A graceful and beautiful maidservant walked in from outside, completely ignoring the scene before her. She bowed to the old man and said respectfully.

"Let him in."

The old man said indifferently.

The maidservant respectfully acknowledged and immediately retreated.

Soon, a tall and thin figure walked in from outside. The figure was none other than Meng Hongsheng, the leader of the Tooth Gang.

Upon seeing the old man, Meng Hongsheng immediately knelt on one knee and bowed before saying respectfully.

"Master, the Flying Crane Martial Hall and White Cloud Martial Hall in the city have agreed to our terms. The remaining Sun family and Zhou family have wavering attitudes and keep making excuses to delay. As for that old fellow from the White Elephant Boxing Gym, he's unappreciative and has a very stubborn attitude, refusing our terms."

"White Elephant Boxing Gym? That old fellow Xiang Hong? As expected, his temper is still so volatile. Since he's ungrateful, the White Elephant Boxing Gym has no reason to exist. As for the Sun and Zhou families, they need a good warning to become more obedient."

The old man seemed to have anticipated this and gave instructions indifferently.

"Sir, what do you mean?"

"Leave none of the White Elephant Boxing Gym standing. The other two will also have to pay a price. Have Black Blind Man handle this. He's taken so many benefits, it's time he contributed."

"Understood, sir."

After hearing this, Meng Hongsheng got up, ready to leave.

"Have you found Tian Song's Ape Fetus Technique yet?"

The old man's voice drifted over unexpectedly.

"We haven't found it yet. I estimate that old man Tian Feng didn't leave behind a secret manual."

"You haven't found it? Forget it. Although it's a second-rate martial art, the Ape Fetus Technique has many restrictions. Its upper limit is high, but its value is considerably less than other second-rate martial arts. If it's gone, it's gone. Don't waste any more manpower on it..."

"Your subordinate understands..."
