Golden Python Four Forms

"Su Ti."

Hearing this, Long Yuanzheng turned his head and shook it slightly at Su Ti, signaling him with his eyes not to step forward.

Su Ti, however, looked at Long Yuanzheng with determination. He couldn't let Long Yuanzheng bear everything for him. If he shrank back now, it would be the reputation of the Dragon Gate that suffered.

Moreover, Li Zong had clearly come for him. Su Ti could hide for a while, but not forever.

As for Demon Mountain, Long Yuanzheng had said before that he was only at the Inner Refinement Stage Layer 1. Su Ti could completely catch up to this realm difference with the modifier. What reason did he have not to go on stage and compete?

Li Minggui chuckled and said, "Dragon Gate Master, this is what your beloved disciple said himself. A promise is a promise. So many people are watching, you wouldn't go back on your word, would you?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Yao Juan and the others' expressions changed. Su Ti was too impulsive. Now that the words were out, and he was cornered, it was too late to go back on his word.

But Su Ti spoke up, "I can accept, but on one condition."

"What condition?" Li Minggui asked subconsciously.

"You will pay ten million as my appearance fee."

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned and looked at Su Ti, who snorted coldly.

"If any Tom, Dick, or Harry can come challenge our Dragon Gate Martial Hall, hoping to become famous in one battle, wouldn't we be busy to death, just responding to challenges every day? This ten million is the minimum challenge fee."

Hearing the words "Tom, Dick, or Harry," a look of anger appeared on Demon Mountain's massive body, but he didn't erupt.

Li Minggui was also provoked by these words. He must be crazy for money, he sneered. "Alright, alright, no problem. After the match, win or lose, we will hand over this ten million with both hands."

Li Minggui's eyes were cold. This money would be considered the coffin money for this brat's life.

Hearing the other party agree, Su Ti also nodded slightly in his heart.

Purchasing the Cursed Antique required a large sum of money, and he was currently short of funds. Although he had received five million in compensation, it was still not enough. While resolving the grievances, he could also use this match to earn a sum.

Of course, the premise was that he could win the match alive to have the life to spend this money.

Li Zong walked out, his eyes flickering as he scanned Su Ti. "We can give the appearance fee, but the match content must follow our rules."

"Seven days from now, the Death Fighting Competition. We will sign a life-and-death contract. The winner lives, the loser dies. No problem, right?"

Looking at Li Zong's cold gaze directly at him, with undisguised killing intent deep in his eyes, Su Ti also met his gaze without fear, his eyes equally cold and piercing, with a sharp glint.

"Naturally. Since it is an Ancient Martial Arts challenge, we will naturally determine the victor and the loser, and also life and death."

"Good! You have guts." Li Zong smiled very coldly. "At that time, I will definitely invite fellow enthusiasts to come and observe the Dragon Gate Martial Hall's martial arts."

After the matter was settled, the journey back was quick. The convoy reached the villa where Long Yuanzheng lived in no time.

Long Yuanzheng dismissed the other three disciples, leaving only Su Ti in the courtyard to talk.

Among them, Yao Juan hesitated to speak but finally said nothing and left as ordered.

At this time, only the master and disciple were in the courtyard. Long Yuanzheng stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the bright moon above, and after a long while, he spoke.

"Su Ti, your actions today, others may not understand, but as your master, I understand your meaning."

"You accepted Demon Mountain's challenge, on one hand, you didn't want to bring shame to the Dragon Gate Martial Hall, and on the other hand, you felt you were troubling your master and wanted to resolve this grievance yourself."

Su Ti remained silent.

Long Yuanzheng turned around. Su Ti's thoughts made him feel both relieved and very angry.

"Your idea is good, but you were too impulsive. In order to fight for a moment's pride, you fell into the trap of Li Zong and his two sons."

"Although that Demon Mountain is a black boxer and not from the orthodox Ancient Martial Arts world, he is already at the Inner Refinement Stage Layer 1 and cultivates external techniques. Coupled with his strong physique and natural divine strength, even your second and third senior brothers at Inner Refinement Stage Layer 2 might not be able to stably defeat him in a fight, let alone you who have just started and have only recently reached the Tongli Stage. If you go on stage to fight him to the death, I'm afraid... the outcome will be grim."

Speaking of this, Long Yuanzheng sighed.

Su Ti, however, shook his head. He extended a finger and said, "Master, I practice martial arts to fight for a breath of air."

"I'm not trying to prove how strong I am! I just want to tell these bastards that I, Su Ti, am definitely not a soft pushover to be manipulated! If they want to lay a hand on me, they will have to pay the price!"

"If I don't fight for this breath, if I endure and yield, what's the point of me practicing martial arts and cultivating techniques? I might as well die!"

Su Ti's words were powerful and resonant.

This was the first time he had revealed his true thoughts about practicing martial arts to someone else.

Yes, why?

What had he done wrong since he transmigrated here?

Li Mingyuan wanted to capture him repeatedly and use him as a tool for wealth. Couldn't he resist? Was he just supposed to be captured?

Just because Li Mingyuan's father is Li Zong, he has to endure and yield?

To hell with that!

The anger in his heart had never been so strong. That's why he wanted to practice martial arts, he wanted to fight, he wanted to strike! Even if it meant death, he wouldn't hesitate!

Long Yuanzheng was also moved. From the moment he saw Su Ti, he had a vague feeling.

Now that Su Ti had said these words, he seemed to overlap with the figure in his memory.

"Similar, too similar."

"Similar to what?"

Long Yuanzheng came back to his senses, raised his head slightly and looked up for a while before lowering it.

"Su Ti, although you joined the latest, you are the most like me among all my disciples."

"Acting on impulse, how can we martial artists not act on impulse?"

"When a common man gets angry, blood splatters five steps. Using martial courage to uphold one's beliefs, that is the original martial artist."

"Putting this spirit into modern times, although I don't know if it's right or wrong, without this spirit, today's martial artists are indeed lacking a lot."

"After all, people cannot live too rationally."

"Su Ti, since you have made your decision, as your master, I will naturally support you with all my might."

"Since that Demon Mountain was pushed out by Li Minggui to fight you, and he has already reached the Inner Refinement Stage, he must have cultivated Inner Refinement Stage fighting techniques. If you fight that Demon Mountain, you will be at a disadvantage in terms of realm, and you absolutely cannot fight without techniques."

"So now I will teach you all the true fighting techniques, killing techniques, and fist techniques of our Dragon Gate lineage!"

"Watch carefully!"

Under the moonlight, Long Yuanzheng performed a set of fist techniques.

Unlike the difficult Dragon Shape Five Forms, and different from the slow Golden Snake Molting, the set of fist techniques Long Yuanzheng was performing now was full of domineering killing intent.

"The true name of our Dragon Gate lineage's fist technique is actually Golden Python Fist!"

"Dragon Shape Five Forms and Golden Snake Molting are the first part of Golden Python Fist, which are training methods!"

"And what I am demonstrating for you now is the second part of Golden Python Fist, the true fighting technique!"

"This fighting technique has a total of four forms, with infinite variations!"

"First form, King Python Hand!"

Long Yuanzheng extended one hand, and his arm rapidly swelled and grew larger!

His skin turned purple, and his veins rolled under his skin like earthworms. One arm swelled three times its size, thicker than a thigh!

Su Ti's eyes widened. He saw Long Yuanzheng grab out with one hand. His palm was now as large as a cattail fan, dark and bruised, and sharp fingernails popped out like daggers!

Long Yuanzheng clawed over, and the peach tree in the courtyard, which was as thick as a leg, was directly snapped in half. This was not the most terrifying part. The most terrifying part was that wood chips flew from Long Yuanzheng's palm, and the wood he was holding was directly crushed into a handful of sawdust!

"Second form, Double Python Whip!"

Long Yuanzheng clasped his hands across his chest, his whole body taut like a slingshot, and then the next second.

Swish!

Su Ti only saw two black afterimages whip past, and the rockery two meters away from Long Yuanzheng exploded with a bang! Stones flew everywhere!

Su Ti looked closely and saw that the granite-hard rockery had two huge whip marks deeply carved into it, as thick as thighs and two fists deep!

"Third form, Scaled Python Armor!"

Long Yuanzheng brought his hands together, and his muscles suddenly bulged, stretching his clothes!

The next moment, countless muscles twisted and surged wildly under his clothes, as if countless mice were scurrying under Long Yuanzheng's skin!

Long Yuanzheng directly stomped his foot and crashed into the rockery with a roar!

With this collision, the stones collapsed, and this rockery, several meters high, was actually knocked down by more than half!

And Long Yuanzheng, with his flesh and blood body, directly hit the mountain rock. Apart from his clothes being damaged, the skin under his clothes had a hint of bronze metallic color, and it wasn't even broken!

"Last form, Violent Python Roar!"

Long Yuanzheng raised his hands, assuming a breathing posture, and took a deep breath into his abdomen, his chest swelling high.

This move looked like a sound-based technique. Su Ti slightly covered his ears, ready to withstand a sonic attack, but the result was completely opposite.

Whoosh!

No sound was emitted. Long Yuanzheng opened his mouth and exhaled, spitting out a strong white energy as thick as an arm!

This energy tore through the air, making a whooshing sound, and then flew about three meters, slicing through a tree in the courtyard as thick as a thigh, shooting through it at the waist!

After penetrating the tree, the airflow did not stop, and it even created a small pit the size of a bowl on the ground before exhausting its last bit of strength and turning into wisps of white smoke rising into the air.

Su Ti's eyelids twitched. None of the moves Long Yuanzheng demonstrated for him were as stunning and shocking as this last one!

Exhaling air to penetrate a tree, shooting through a tree trunk as thick as a thigh from a distance of three meters and then embedding into the ground, this was something that even modern high-pressure air guns could not achieve.

If this were in Su Ti's previous life in ancient times, exhaling air to form a sword, and killing people with sword energy, this would be a divine being.

To spray out such an airflow, how strong must Long Yuanzheng's internal organs be to compress air into an air sword and spit it out? It was simply unbelievable!

After demonstrating the four moves, Long Yuanzheng began the formal teaching, explaining to Su Ti the specific methods of execution for each move, things to note, and so on.

"The Golden Python Four Forms requires a certain level of practice to support its execution. At the very least, you need to reach the first layer of the Inner Refinement Stage to unleash its power."

"If you use it rashly before reaching this level, not only will the power be greatly reduced due to insufficient skill, but it will also cause serious harm to your body."

"However, Su Ti, you are about to compete with Demon Mountain. We can't worry about that too much now. Learning a bit more will increase your chances of winning, even if it's just a little."

To give Su Ti a better chance of winning, Long Yuanzheng explained everything in great detail and very specifically. As he spoke, he also demonstrated slowly, allowing Su Ti to observe carefully.

He also taught Su Ti all sorts of variations, fighting styles, and experiences without holding anything back. These were the valuable assets he had accumulated from over forty years of martial arts practice.

And because Su Ti's intelligence was high enough, coupled with the fact that he was already a Tongli Stage martial artist, he finally mastered all four moves by the time the sky began to lighten slightly.

In his martial arts section, the following appeared:
