Dragon-Elephant Prajna Art

Dragon Mountain Empire, Mangshan Village.

At the Qin family's martial arts training ground, over a dozen young boys and girls were gathered at this very moment.

Today was the day of the triennial Qin family expert teaching the younger generation martial arts. These Qin family disciples who were about to receive instruction were all filled with joy.

These young boys and girls stood tall and straight; they were all children around twelve years old. However, a few of them were unusual. One was exaggeratedly tall, reaching eight feet, which is about 1.8 meters. The others were within the normal range.

And this 1.8-meter tall, strong youth was Qin Hao.

"It's been some time since I arrived in this world. Finally, it's time to learn martial arts."

Qin Hao looked at the group of children around him and couldn't help but feel a little excited. He was originally a laborer from Blue Star. He was struck by lightning on his way home from work. When he woke up, he found himself transmigrated to this unfamiliar world.

He was reborn into the body of an orphan. The original body's parents had died from severe injuries sustained during a demonic beast attack on the village. The owner of this body was also severely injured and ultimately died. Qin Hao inexplicably found himself reborn into this body.

From what he had learned during his time here, this world was extremely dangerous.

This was a world where cultivators were respected. Ghostly creatures ran rampant, and only those who walked the path of cultivation could kill them. Cultivators possessed true qi, which could inflict damage on ghostly creatures. However, there was another category of people who could also fight them. These people, unable to cultivate, walked the path of physical sanctification.

These people were called Body Forging martial artists by cultivators. Since they could not absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, they could not cultivate.

Therefore, they constantly honed their physical bodies. Their strength and physical defense were terrifying, but very few could walk this path. This was because such individuals had higher innate talent requirements for their physiques, and even fewer could achieve physical sanctification. Thus, their combat power was extremely formidable.

And Qin Hao was one of these people. When he first transmigrated, he had started trying to cultivate, but he could never sense the spiritual energy between heaven and earth. So, he gave up the path of cultivation to become an immortal and switched to the path of Body Forging.

Besides ghostly creatures, the most dangerous threat to humans in this world was demonic beasts. Demonic beasts were very numerous in this world, far exceeding the human population, and their strength was exceptionally great.

Thus, demonic beasts were rampant. His village was attacked by demonic beasts from time to time. However, their small village rarely encountered beast species that had truly cultivated into demonic beasts. Even if they did, they were only low-level demonic beasts, but even that was enough trouble for them.

Therefore, Qin Hao could only walk the path of Body Forging. Only by doing so would he have the qualifications to survive. Fortunately, this body had excellent talent. At a young age, he had grown tall and strong, possessing great strength. He could unleash 300 jin of force with a single punch. Among the villagers his age, only a few were stronger than him because they could cultivate.

However, among the dozen or so people training now, only two could cultivate. One was Qin Baiyu, and the other was Qin Xiang, Qin Hao's childhood friend. The rest could not. Apart from these two, no one was stronger than Qin Hao.

"Look quickly, the person teaching us martial arts is here! It's Uncle Qin Tianze from the Qin family's hunting team."

"Uncle Qin Tianze is powerful. He's already a strong practitioner in the Body Tempering, Muscle Tempering stage. Killing a first-tier demonic beast is as easy as lifting a hand."

While Qin Hao was still lost in thought, a sudden exclamation erupted from the crowd.

Qin Hao looked forward and saw a tall, middle-aged man with a square face, who was a head taller than Qin Hao.

Qin Hao stared intently at the middle-aged man before him. He was tall, with well-developed muscles, a steady and powerful gait, and considerable strength.

Qin Tianze arrived in front of Qin Hao and the others. He glanced at the children before him, then at Qin Hao and the other two tall youths. He nodded slightly, thinking that there were indeed some good prospects.

After observing for a while, Qin Tianze spoke loudly, "Enough! Be quiet for a moment."

Instantly, the training ground fell silent.

Qin Hao then said, "Cultivators are divided into Body Tempering, Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul, Spirit Transformation, Tribulation Transcendence, and Ascension."

"The first condition for cultivation is to sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. You should have encountered it by now. Only some of you can cultivate; the rest can only practice martial arts."

"But don't worry. Practicing martial arts can also lead to a path. Although it is extremely difficult, there are still some ways out."

"Body Tempering is completed through refining the muscles, strengthening the bones, and tempering the tendons to refine the physical body. After completing Body Tempering, one can basically possess a strength of three thousand jin, and some even have a giant strength of five thousand jin. After Body Tempering comes Qi Refining, but you don't need to worry about these. First, complete Body Tempering, and then we'll talk about the rest."

"A giant strength of five thousand jin is also called the strength of one bull. Fifty thousand jin is called the strength of one elephant. If you can achieve the strength of one bull, you can fight ordinary first-tier demonic beasts. Ordinary wild beasts are nothing to fear."

"If you can cultivate to the Muscle Tempering stage of Body Tempering before the age of sixteen, you can seek apprenticeship at martial arts schools and sects in the larger county towns, and ascend to heaven. Do you understand?"

"We understand!" Qin Hao and the others shouted in unison.

"Today, I will teach you the Qin family's body-refining cultivation technique. This technique is called the Barbarian Bull Fist. It is divided into six layers. With each layer cultivated, your strength will greatly increase. Each strike will be like a barbarian bull charging, dealing significant damage to the enemy. I have been cultivating for thirty years and am still stuck at the third layer."

"Even those who cannot cultivate can learn it to strengthen their physical bodies."

After speaking, Qin Tianze strode to a large boulder in the training ground. He held his breath and concentrated. True qi burst forth from his body, and he suddenly punched, cracking the boulder.

Qin Tianze gathered his strength again. Veins bulged all over his body, like thick earthworms. No, like coiled dragons coiling on his body, exuding an oppressive aura.

Then, with a burst of power, he directly shattered the stone.

"Ooh ooh ooh!"

"Hiss, it's that terrifying."

Seeing this scene, they were all astonished.

"Hey, hey, hey, Qin Hao, Uncle Tianze is too awesome! He cracked that rock with just one punch. My goodness."

The youth beside Qin Hao said to Qin Hao.

"He's indeed quite impressive. Look at my build. Maybe I'll be stronger than Uncle Tianze in the future, hehe, don't you think so, Qin Xiang?"

However, Qin Xiang didn't pay attention to Qin Hao's words. He couldn't even cultivate, and martial arts weren't that easy.

"Alright, now I'll demonstrate a few times. Follow along."

Qin Hao and the others followed him, throwing punches one after another. Unlike Qin Tianze, their punches were soft and weak, unlike Qin Tianze's, each of which landed with a dull thud.

After a while, Qin Hao felt a slight change in his body.

He didn't have the talent for cultivation, but fortunately, his physical talent was decent. He was naturally stronger than others from birth.

Seeing the effect of the Barbarian Bull Fist, Qin Hao practiced even more diligently. Only by doing so could he become stronger.

After an unknown amount of time, a voice broke Qin Hao's movements.

"Alright."

The voice belonged to Qin Tianze.

Hearing Qin Tianze's voice, everyone stopped and looked at him.

"That's enough for today. We'll continue tomorrow. Come earlier tomorrow."

After speaking, he turned and left. As he walked away, he glanced at Qin Hao. Although this child couldn't cultivate, he noticed that the child had extraordinary physical talent. He had grown so tall at such a young age, and the Barbarian Bull Fist he had just taught was actually making sounds when this kid practiced it. There was a possibility he could walk the path of Body Forging.

"Oh, oh, it's over! Time to play!"

Some of the younger children cheered upon hearing that training was over and excitedly ran out of the training grounds to play.

This was understandable, as some of them were even younger than Qin Hao's actual age.

However, some of the older children continued to practice.

Qin Hao also prepared to go home. Being an orphan, he still had to go home and cook, otherwise, he would starve to death.

Because he had no parents and Qin Hao was young, the village supported him. Every month, someone would bring him some food.

"Hey, Qin Hao, why are you leaving?" His childhood friend Qin Yan asked as he saw Qin Hao preparing to leave.

"I need to go back and cook. I'm leaving now," Qin Hao said and turned to leave.

Seeing Qin Hao say this, Qin Yan didn't say much more. He understood Qin Hao's situation, so he didn't continue practicing the Barbarian Bull Fist in the training grounds.

As soon as he got home, Qin Hao was about to prepare dinner when.

"Ding, Body Forging System successfully activated!"

A voice sounded in Qin Hao's mind.

Qin Hao found the voice very pleasant because he knew his golden finger had finally arrived.

"System activating..."

"Ding, you have received a novice gift pack. Do you wish to open it?"

"Open!" Qin Hao had been waiting for his golden finger for a long time. Hearing the system's voice now, he could no longer hold back and immediately opened the gift pack.

"Ding, you have obtained the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Art!"

"Ding, you have obtained the Divine Thunder Barbarian Dragon bloodline!"

"Ding, you have obtained 10 attribute points!"
