A Sensible Huang Doudou

After leaving the Chamber of Commerce and bidding a temporary farewell to the Five Heroes of Eagle Mountain, Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou returned to the inn and asked the waiter to buy some good dishes from nearby and deliver them to their respective rooms.

"Oh, and don't give me the tofu," Lu Yang instructed the waiter before going upstairs.

"It's so comfortable in bed!" Lu Yang returned to his room, leaped onto the comfortable bed, and looked blissfully happy.

"Right? It's very comfortable to sleep in." Huang Moudou, who has been dead for over 300,000 years, strongly agreed with Lu Yang's idea.

She now spends her days sleeping in her mental space; she sleeps longer when she's in a good mood and less when she's in a bad mood.

Thankfully, she remained in a good mood.

The Immortal Fairy waited for a long time but received no response from Lu Yang. Only then did she notice that Lu Yang had fallen asleep, his mouth slightly open, and he was sleeping very soundly.

The past few days in the dense forest had been exhausting. Lu Yang had been on high alert at all times, like a taut string. But as soon as he came into a comfortable environment, he completely relaxed.

Meng Jingzhou was in a similar situation to Lu Yang; he also fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.

He was pampered since childhood, and could pluck the stars from the sky if he wanted them. He had never suffered such hardship in the dense forest.

"Sir, your food has arrived." The waiter gently knocked on the door.

Fearing she might wake Lu Yang, the Immortal Fairy temporarily took over Lu Yang's body and went to open the door.

"Shh, keep your voice down, I'm sleeping!" The Immortal Fairy whispered, pointing her finger in the middle, reminding the waiter that his voice was too loud.

The waiter handed the tray to the Immortal Fairy, subconsciously lowering his voice, "Yes, sir."

The Immortal Fairy took the tray, closed the door, placed the food on the table, and controlled Lu Yang's body back onto the bed, assuming the previous position, as if nothing had happened.

"How boring, I'm going to sleep too." The Immortal Fairy yawned and fell asleep in her mental space.

When the waiter reached the stairwell, he suddenly remembered what he had seen in the room out of the corner of his eye.

"Wasn't that room only occupied by the guest who opened the door? Who's sleeping there?"

For some reason, he felt a chill down his spine, as if someone was watching him, and he subconsciously quickened his pace downstairs.

"May the gods protect me! May the gods protect me! I've never done anything wrong!"

"That feels so good!"

Lu Yang woke up in bed.

"It smells so good."

He was very surprised to see the table laden with three meat dishes, one vegetable dish, and a soup.

Where did this food come from?

He did remember asking the waiter to bring him food when he went upstairs, but he didn't remember opening the door.

"Do I have a habit of sleepwalking?" Lu Yang scratched his head, feeling that he was still half asleep and his mind was a bit muddled.

To be fair, the waiter had excellent taste; the food he brought was very local and tasted great—soft, tender, and smooth. The ingredients must have been Foundation Establishment Realm Demon Beast, which could replenish spiritual energy and restore vitality.

Lu Yang originally wanted to ask the Immortal Fairy if she wanted to temporarily occupy his body and try the local specialties of Zhenyao Pass, but he found that the Immortal Fairy was still sleeping, so he didn't wake her.

After eating and drinking his fill, Lu Yang was full of energy; he was a completely different person from the night before.

He found Meng Jingzhou.

"You mean you want me to teach you Arhat Fist?" Meng Jingzhou was slightly surprised when he heard Lu Yang's request.

"I thought about it this morning. I've made some progress in Law Technique and Swordsmanship, but I lack a fist technique to showcase my skills. Battle situations are unpredictable, and there might be a time when I need to use my fist technique."

"Don't you know how to imitate martial arts?"

"Then summon the senior sister?"

Meng Jingzhou felt this was indeed going too far. If you're going to fight like that, the game is over; it's practically a summoning spell.

Moreover, Lu Yang's animal-shaped boxing style is more of a transformation technique than a boxing style.

Is it convenient?

"Master doesn't shy away from this topic. Although the Arhat Fist is precious, you can learn it from your senior sister. The only difference is whether you learn it from me or from her."

Anyone who knows the name can learn it from the senior sister.

If there's really no senior sister, we can make up a set on the spot based on her name.

"That's great!" Lu Yang's heart burned with excitement at the thought of learning another martial art.

"You'd rather learn the Arhat Fist than my Arhat Fruit Fist?" The Immortal Fairy stomped her feet in anger.

The name "Arhat Fist" doesn't sound strong at all; it's nowhere near as appealing as the Fairy Fist.

"Once you've mastered the Luohan Fruit Fist, you can continue learning thousands of other fist techniques, such as the Sichuan Pepper Fist, the Eight-Corner Fist, and the Cumin Fist. Then, you can integrate them all and master the Fairy Fist Technique. At that time, you'll be invincible!"

Faced with the fairy's empty promises, Lu Yang sighed, "Fairy, if you could just rename your boxing style, I might learn it."

When fighting, others use Bajiquan or the Six Forms of Heaven-Shaking, but when it comes to him, if they ask who his master is or what style of boxing he uses, Lu Yang can't very well say that it's the Fairy Fist.

Half of their momentum was lost before the battle even began.

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou rented a secluded martial arts training ground and began learning Luohan Fist.

"I won't go into the origins of Luohan Fist; it's just memorizing anyway. You can find a book to read when you have time." Meng Jingzhou skipped over the relevant parts and moved on to practical combat instruction.

"The overall routine emphasizes attacking from above and below, striking from the right to attack from the left, using feints to the east and attacks from the west, highlighting the characteristics of unpredictability, speed, and variability. At the same time, it uses breath to blow through the teeth, producing a thunderous sound to enhance the power and boost the strength, just like this."

Meng Jingzhou stood upright with his arms hanging naturally at his sides, looking straight ahead. He took a half step to the left with his left foot and drew an arc with both palms from bottom to top and outward.

"Ha!"

When Meng Jingzhou performed his boxing technique, he was quite skilled, like an angry Vajra, majestic and imposing, with a loud voice that vaguely resembled the Buddhist Lion's Roar Kung Fu.

"The sea of suffering is boundless, but turning back is the shore!"

"This is the horse stance with a single whip!"

"This is a kick followed by a punch!"

"This is the claws of a roc!"

Meng Jingzhou demonstrated the Luohan Fist moves one by one, which thrilled Lu Yang.

When he unleashed a series of combos, demonstrating the true essence of Arhat Fist to the fullest, it seemed as if an Arhat had truly appeared before Lu Yang, vanquishing demons and monsters.

The thought that the Third Elder's signature move, the "Six Forms of Heaven-Shaking," was derived from the Arhat Fist made Lu Yang even more excited.

Perhaps he can also learn other boxing techniques from Arhat Fist.

"Speaking of which, did the Third Elder ever tell you how he comprehended the 'Six Forms of Heaven-Shaking' from the Arhat Fist?" Lu Yang asked, thinking that he might be able to learn from it.

"Yes," Meng Jingzhou recalled. "My master said that when he was young, he traveled to the Golden Buddha Kingdom and met an old man who was proficient in Arhat Fist and was known as the Demon-Subduing Arhat. The old man beat my master like a grandson."

"Master was beaten so badly that he had to run away with his head in his hands. In order to avoid being beaten further, Master unleashed his power in the face of adversity and created his own boxing style, the 'Six Forms of Heaven-Shaking'."

Lu Yang: "..."

Why is the process of creating this boxing style so different from what I imagined?

"Did the Third Elder win against them back then?"

"No, the opponent is a whole realm higher than my master."
