Wudang Sanfeng was a role model
Newcomer Shazo transmigrated into the world of the novel "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer".
Moreover, he paid money to join the Mount Hua sect as a transfer student.
The reason he needed to pay to join the class was because his martial arts Talent was average. Not to mention compared to his Eldest Senior Brother Linghu Chong, even his sixth senior brother Lu Dayou was slightly better than him.
Fortunately, Shazo's mind is that of an adult, making him more determined than a real child.
He not only put in hard work, but also gritted his teeth and pushed himself to the limit, becoming the third strongest disciple of Mount Hua, second only to Lao Denuo.
But that's not enough.
Lin Pingzhi had already become a disciple of the Mount Hua Sect. Soon after, Tian Boguang, the Mount Hua Sword Sect, the Six Immortals of Peach Valley, Mount Song Sect would take turns attacking Mount Hua, causing the Mount Hua Sect's Mountain Gate to Shattering and its disciples to suffer heavy casualties.
But now none of that matters. Having obtained the 99 Series Golden Finger, Shazo is destined to become the number one Martial World as long as he adapts to his power.
No, his goal should be the number one Immortal in the Ming Dynasty.
The saying goes, "Everyone practices martial arts, but I cultivate immortality; Wudang Sanfeng is my role model!"
When Shazo woke up from his dream, it was still dark.
He silently got up, dressed, picked up his practice sword, left the dormitory, and went to the training ground inside the gate.
Shazo Zuo practiced the only Mount Hua Basic Swordplay that he had mastered. He was proficient in the first three moves, but from the fourth move onwards, he began to understand the true essence of the sword technique.
After practicing the next nine moves, his swordsmanship underwent a complete transformation, Flowing Water smoothly and naturally without any deliberate effort, as if the longsword was dancing on its own.
By the second round of practice, Shazo had mastered the thirteen Mount Hua Basic Swordplay and no longer distinguished between them, using and combining them at will.
During the third practice session, the thirteen moves remained the same, with clear distinctions between them, but the "dangerous and wondrous" spirit of Mount Hua connected the thirteen moves together.
Shazo Zuo's main goal was to hone his basic swordsmanship skills and his strength. He painstakingly developed the concept of "winning through both orthodox and unorthodox means, and seeking victory in danger," which perfectly showcased the extraordinary and unparalleled beauty of Mount Hua Swordsmanship.
On the fourth practice, the thirteen basic sword techniques returned to their mundane state; all the Sword Intent and artistic conception had vanished.
All of this is incorporated into incredibly precise sword techniques, hidden within every standard posture.
This is returning to simplicity.
As long as it doesn't involve a direct life-or-death struggle, it will only appear perfectly standard.
At this point, Shazo's Mount Hua Basic Swordplay had reached a state of perfection, and he could deduce other advanced Mount Hua Swordplay on his own if he wished.
At this moment, dawn had just appeared on the eastern horizon, and Venus was still twinkling with dazzling starlight.
Shazo suppressed his urge to laugh wildly, took a deep breath of the cool air, and slowly exhaled. He then sat cross-legged on the training ground and slowly entered a meditative state as the sky began to lighten in the east.
His breathing was long and even, almost imperceptible, gradually becoming indistinguishable between exhalation and inhalation.
As his breathing became steady and gradually became chaotic, Shazo's True Qi became more lively and agile, and suddenly it condensed together, like a small nimble mouse, quickly moving along the meridians.
This clever rat grew rapidly, and in just half an incense stick's time, its basic internal skills advanced from beginner to minor mastery.
The superposition of eight Shazo's souls, Misaka Shazo's super computing power, Demon Xiazhuo's Cultivation Knowledge, Naruto Shazo's Kekkei Genkai gift pack, and Shinigami Xiazhuo's Gods essence—all of these combined to create an unparalleled martial arts Talent and achievement in the Smiling, Proud Wanderer World.
In particular, Naruto Shazo's Kekkei Genkai directly endowed his True Qi with multiple attributes.
Wood Release's vibrant life force, Ice Style's cool and ethereal quality, Lava Style's viscous the Heat, Boil Style's passionate intensity, Magnet Style's intuitive control, and Swift Style's agility and sharpness.
Shazo's mind was clear and tranquil as he circulated his inner True Qi, waiting for the Setsuna before the sun rose.
As the first light of dawn spreads in the east, and before the golden hue of the rising sun appears, the world is suddenly enveloped in purple, a fleeting moment.
But that instant of purple light illuminated Shazo, and his True Qi was thus tinged with a faint purple aura. Although it did not make him mysterious or noble, it did show a touch of inclusiveness.
With the help of this inclusiveness, and the True Qi characteristics derived from the Kekkei Genkai, he eliminated some of the serious conflicts between them, and his internal strength advanced again, reaching the level of Entering the Hall and Room.
Although it was far inferior to Shazo from other worlds, Shazo was already very satisfied.
The world he lives in does indeed have a low power ceiling.
Just then, Yue Buqun, dressed in a long robe, appeared at the training ground and saw his disciple diligently practicing his internal energy under the rising sun. He was pleasantly surprised to find that the child's internal energy had actually Entering the Hall and Room.
Gentleman Sword couldn't help but feel deeply gratified.
Shazo's Talent was very poor, and he didn't have a high opinion of the child's future, so he didn't want to take him under his wing.
Unfortunately, the family was in dire financial straits five years ago.
At that time, Yue Buqun annihilated the Eighteen Wolves, a band of bandits who roamed the Northwest, and restored the prestige of the Mount Hua Sect. However, the battle against overwhelming odds caused him to bleed excessively and damage his vital energy.
Not only could he not perform acts of chivalry and gain fame and fortune, but he also had to spend a lot of money to buy expensive medicinal herbs to maintain his health.
As a result, the Mount Hua Sect went bankrupt, and its twenty-odd members couldn't even afford to eat. They had no choice but to reluctantly accept Shazo as their disciple.
Shazo's donation consisted of 150 mu of land, 20,000 jin of millet, and 50 sheep, which helped the Mount Hua Sect survive its most difficult year.
Once Yue Buqun's injuries had fully healed, he couldn't wait to go down the mountain to suppress bandits. After breaking through two mountain strongholds, he completely resolved the financial crisis of the Mount Hua Sect.
Therefore, Yue Buqun never had any hope for Shazo. He never even criticized Shazo, but simply taught him the lessons step by step.
Yue Buqun got up early this morning on a whim to practice his sword, never expecting to witness his disciple's breakthrough in Entering the Hall and Room.
The surprise came so suddenly that even Yue Buqun, with his composure and self-control, almost blurted out, "Hard work pays off."
Fortunately, he restrained himself and did not lose the composure befitting a sect leader.
Yue Buqun was Qi Sect of the Mount Hua Sect. His lifelong motto was to control the sword with Qi. He firmly believed that mastering internal strength was a prerequisite for mastering swordsmanship.
Unfortunately, most of the disciples under the Mount Hua Sect had limited talent and made slow progress in their internal energy cultivation, failing to meet the expectations of their Grand Master.
What angered Yue Buqun even more was his First Disciple, Linghu Chong. Despite being a disciple with exceptional talent, Linghu Chong was too carefree and lazy, and only loved practicing flashy sword techniques.
Linghu Chong's internal energy cultivation can be described as inconsistent; since he first learned internal energy seven years ago, he has made no progress whatsoever.
If he had been able to cultivate his internal energy to Entering the Hall and Room, he wouldn't have been seriously injured by Tian Boguang's blade this time when he went down the mountain.
If Linghu Chong had achieved a minor level of mastery in internal energy cultivation, given his Swordsmanship Talent, he should have been able to fight Tian Boguang to the bitter end and force him to retreat, without sustaining serious injuries in the process.
However, Linghu Chong's personality is truly indescribable. He was almost killed by Tian Boguang, yet he could still laugh it off and not take Yue Buqun's demands to heart.
He was clearly punished by being made to reflect on his mistakes by facing the wall, but this bastard not only got sick, but his internal energy even regressed.
It's absolutely infuriating!
