Name: Tang Jie
Martial Arts: Boyhood Art (5th Layer Red Sun Art 6%), Golden Bell Shield (10th Pass 2%), Iron Cutting Saber Art (Mastery 47%), Basic Flying Knife (Peak Mastery 25%), Dragon-Elephant Prajna Art (1st Layer 1%)
Potential Points: 52
Tang Jie glanced at his status panel, a look of surprise on his face. "The Dragon-Elephant Prajna Art only reached the first layer and it increased my Potential Points by 2?"
The amount of Potential Points gained depended on the difficulty of the martial art being cultivated. Low-difficulty martial arts, even when practiced to a profound level, would barely increase Potential Points. Conversely, high-difficulty martial arts yielded more Potential Points with each breakthrough.
Clearly, the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Art was classified as extremely difficult. The first layer alone had granted Tang Jie two Potential Points!
Tang Jie clenched his fists. After mastering the first layer of the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Art, he could distinctly feel an increase in his strength. Although it wasn't a qualitative change, this was only the first layer!
The body was the foundation of a martial artist. A strong body meant greater strength and speed, naturally leading to faster and more powerful saber strikes. Tang Jie felt that if he cultivated the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Art to Perfection, combined with his own profound cultivation and his mastery of the saber art, he could even face a troublesome opponent like the old monk with white eyebrows again and kill him with a single strike!
"Continue!"
Tang Jie was greatly invigorated and continued to cultivate the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Art.
Within Tang Jie's body, the Dragon Elephant Power continuously generated, tempering his physique and making him even more formidable!
Two days later, Tang Jie's Dragon-Elephant Prajna Art successfully entered the second layer!
Glancing at his status panel, his Potential Points had increased by another 3 points!
"If this continues, once my Dragon-Elephant Prajna Art reaches a profound level, my Potential Points will skyrocket and increase significantly!" Tang Jie rejoiced.
A month passed, and Tang Jie's Dragon-Elephant Prajna Art broke through to the fifth layer!
If the old monk with white eyebrows knew about Tang Jie's progress in cultivating the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Art, he would surely feel like spitting blood.
For someone with average aptitude, it took one to two years to even get started with the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Art. The old monk with white eyebrows could enter Esoteric Buddhism for advanced studies, which meant his martial arts aptitude was exceptionally outstanding. However, it still took him about a month to master the first layer of the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Art. Later, due to prolonged difficulty in making progress, he had resolutely forced himself to drink tea brewed with a demon heart.
But Tang Jie? He reached the fifth layer of the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Art in just one month. This speed was almost unbelievable!
The cultivation of the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Art consumed an immense amount of Blood Essence. This was because the Dragon Elephant Power that strengthened the body primarily originated from within the body itself. To cultivate the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Art, one needed to consume highly nourishing foods at every meal to replenish themselves.
However, Tang Jie was different. After cultivating his Boyhood Art to the Red Sun Art level, his essence and vitality generated at an astonishing speed. His own essence and vitality would continuously be generated and replenished, as if he were consuming hundred-year-old Ganoderma or thousand-year-old ginseng daily. Even while cultivating the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Art, he could maintain balance and avoid Blood Essence depletion.
The Boyhood Art was not the strongest among Bodhidharma's four divine arts, but it was a divine art that laid the foundation for martial artists. As time passed, with accumulated effort, one's cultivation would become increasingly profound!
While cultivating the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Art, Tang Jie did not neglect the practice of his other martial arts.
Dragon Claw Hand, Great Teleportation Movement Technique, and Kasaya Demon Subduing Art. For ordinary people, these three martial arts also required a significant amount of time to study and delve into. However, for Tang Jie, whose aptitude and talent far surpassed that of so-called genius martial artists, he could easily get started and master these martial arts.
Boom boom boom!
In the courtyard, Tang Jie practiced his martial arts. At times, his five fingers formed claws, tearing through the air with sonic booms. At other times, his figure flickered, teleporting several feet instantaneously. At other times, he swung his clothing as if it were a blade, sharp and cutting, or as heavy as a club!
Tang Jie was immersed in rigorous training. He had over three hundred spirit stones, enough to power the Spirit Gathering Plate for a considerable period.
Coupled with the profound cultivation from his Boyhood Art, which allowed Tang Jie's own essence and vitality to be replenished continuously, he could withstand even such intense training!
Time ticked by. Although the days of cultivation were arduous, Tang Jie found joy in it. Every time he experienced progress, all his efforts felt worthwhile.
Through this rigorous training, one year and two months swiftly passed. This desolate Great Green Mountain became a quiet and secluded training sanctuary for Tang Jie!
One day, a group of uninvited guests arrived at the Great Green Mountain.
"Bull Demon King... lives in this godforsaken wilderness?"
A group of four walked along the overgrown mountain path of the Great Green Mountain. A burly man with a saber at his waist, rough skin, and long limbs led the way, frowning as he spoke with doubt.
"After all, the Bull Demon King is a martial arts master. Masters... tend to prefer living in seclusion in the wilderness."
Another man, slender with a long sword at his waist, replied.
"Young Master, do we really need the Bull Demon King's help? The three of us are only one step away from the Grandmaster realm. Even if we joined forces, the Bull Demon King might not be our match, let alone the fact that we've hired an immortal cultivator." The Bearded Man, whose waist was wrapped with a chain and whose muscles were as hard as steel, frowned.
The one addressed as Young Master was a youth, a handsome young man in white clothes, holding a folding fan. His face was as beautiful as jade, his skin crystal clear and fair, and he was so unrealistically handsome that not only women, but even men, would involuntarily stare at him.
This handsome young man in white spoke softly, "One more person means one more source of strength. The Bull Demon King's ability to single-handedly annihilate the ferocious Blood Cloud Bandits is not just a rumor. In any case... let's meet him first and see what he's like."
"Hmm, then let Tieshan be the first to test him!"
The burly man nodded, chuckling with excitement. He was eager to see if the Bull Demon King, who was rumored to be so extraordinary, lived up to his reputation!
"What sound was that?"
It had just rained, and the Great Green Mountain was somewhat damp. Suddenly, the white-clothed youth's ears twitched. He seemed to have heard something and quickly sped off in a certain direction.
The other three quickly followed suit.
"Swish swish!" The group passed through a patch of forest and saw a wide stream in the distance. Due to the recent rain, the stream was rushing like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins.
What caught the attention of the four was a dark-haired youth standing in the middle of the stream. He looked to be around twenty years old, his upper body, which was bare and covered in well-trained, lean muscles, was immersed in the rushing stream water, as still as a rock.
As the white-clothed youth and his companions watched in confusion, the dark-haired youth suddenly moved. He opened his eyes, held a thin piece of clothing in his right hand, and abruptly swung it towards the surging current ahead!
"Crack!"
The clothing cut through the air, emitting a sound like a firecracker, an unbelievable sound for such a fragile garment!
However, what followed was even more shocking.
"Bang!"
The clothing seemed to carry an incredible divine power, striking the surging stream water heavily. It was like an exploding cannonball, emitting a thunderous roar. A crater with a diameter of four to five meters suddenly appeared on the water's surface, which took a long time to close.
"Roar!"
The power carried by the clothing was exaggerated to the extreme. It actually caused the stream water, which was rushing forward like a wild horse, to surge backward, rising seven to eight zhang like a tidal wave!
It was unimaginable power that a human could unleash!
