Vital Energy Dark Force

During this period, Tian Hao stopped practicing the spear and sword, devoting all his attention to cultivating the Ten Beast Fist.

The Ten Beast Fist had been developed from the body movements used by ten representative Beast Martial Soul masters Tian Hao had seen at Martial Soul Academy when they unleashed their soul skills.

His initial leg techniques, fist techniques, and grappling techniques had all originated from that, but ever since activating his cheat, he had deliberately worked to fuse the three together, eventually creating the current Ten Beast Fist.

It melded leg techniques, fist techniques, and grappling techniques into one, drawing on their strengths and compensating for their weaknesses. Fists, kicks, and grapples could be used in succession, creating more variations and greatly improving its practical combat effectiveness.

Tian Hao had actually fused this thing according to the principles behind the Five Animal Play and the Twelve Forms Fist of Xingyi Quan from his previous life. Both had been created by imitating animal movements. Although he did not know those martial arts from his previous life, the true value lay in that concept.

But the Ten Beast Fist was only secondary. At its core, it was merely a combat style and set of routines. The true foundation still had to be the Strength System.

Half a month after replicating Bright Force, he had made another breakthrough.

"Hiss!"

After practicing the Ten Beast Fist for an hour, Tian Hao waited until a small portion of the Life Force within his muscle, tendon, and bone cells had been slightly activated. It fused with the body heat generated by exercise, becoming a current of warmth. He decisively entered a state of enlightenment, elevating his thoughts and consciousness to their peak, then drove his final punch into the wooden training dummy. His force carried the active warm current within his body out through his pores and blasted it into the dummy's interior.

When he withdrew his fist, the previously smooth surface of the wooden dummy was covered in a dense spread of tiny holes. They were genuinely hard to notice without looking closely.

"It finally counts as a success."

Withdrawing his fist, Tian Hao carefully examined the barely visible holes in the wooden dummy and felt immensely satisfied.

Having a cheat really was different. It had taken him years in the past to combine fist techniques, leg techniques, and the rest into that hodgepodge. Now, he had achieved such results in so little time. The difference was like a Wuling Hongguang compared to a wheelchair.

And that warm current just now was the Vital Energy he needed. He did not know whether this imitation Vital Energy of his was the same as the Vital Energy mentioned in National Martial Arts novels, but it truly suited his needs better.

This Vital Energy was stimulated from his muscle, tendon, and bone cells. It was a diluted derivative of Life Force and could perfectly fuse with the force generated from those same muscles and bones. It was more compatible than the Soul Power condensed from a Martial Soul.

Moreover, since it was a diluted product of Life Force, it could fully evolve into Bloodline Power in the future.

That was extremely important, as it concerned the future development of this system.

"What is this now?"

Ah Yin, who had immediately sensed the abnormality through the Blue Silver Domain, hurried over and curiously stroked that area of the wooden dummy. Her delicate skin could vaguely sense the unevenness there.

With her strength and the Bright Force she had cultivated, punching through this wooden dummy would not be difficult. Yet she could not create such densely packed tiny holes. This kind of minute penetrating power was not something human strength could control.

Tang Hao, who had come along with her, frowned as well. Blowing apart the wooden dummy would not be a problem for him, but turning it into this was truly difficult.

"This is Dark Force, a level higher than Bright Force. It requires sufficient Life Force in the body's cells. Then, through intense exercise, traces of that Life Force are activated and diluted, fusing with the heat produced by vigorous movement to become a current of warmth.

"I named it Vital Energy. Finally, force and Vital Energy are fused together and released through the pores of the skin..."

Tian Hao did not hide anything either, explaining in full his cultivation method and insights for this imitation Dark Force.

As he sensed the fortune power continuously flowing into him, he was inwardly overjoyed.

The value of Dark Force was undoubtedly far greater than Bright Force. After all, it also contained an energy like Vital Energy. Teaching it to the two of them would allow him to gain even more fortune from them. It was no loss.

No wonder Dao Ancestor Hongjun was so absurdly powerful. He really deserves to be called a top-tier spender.

Tian Hao secretly sighed with emotion, more satisfied with his cheat than ever.

You two might make a small profit, but Brother Hao is definitely making a killing.

"Life Force?"

After listening, Tang Hao frowned, then looked toward his fiancée, Ah Yin.

When it came to Life Force, Ah Yin was the expert. Her Blue Silver Domain could make use of Life Force to a certain extent.

Ah Yin was also delighted. This meant she and Hao could cultivate this stronger force together.

But what should she use to exchange for it with Little Haozi?

She could not simply take it for free, could she?

But last time, she had already passed on the most precious thing she possessed, her Soul Power Meditation Method. As for the Gold Soul Coins she carried, she did not believe such a secret art could be measured in money.

Besides, Little Haozi was a man of principles, especially when it came to money. He likely would not accept wealth as payment.

How troubling!

"It is not as simple as you think. The Life Force I mentioned must be able to perfectly merge with one's body. Otherwise, according to my calculations, no matter how much exercise one does, Life Force that does not belong to oneself cannot be dissolved and diluted into Vital Energy.

"Even I only cultivated it with the help of Sister Ah Yin's soul blood. Sister Ah Yin can cultivate it directly, but Uncle cannot."

Tian Hao saw through the thoughts of the two of them. Ah Yin naturally was not a problem, but Tang Hao did not possess such vast Life Force that belonged to himself.

"You can do it, but I can't?"

Tang Hao was displeased. As a man, how could he possibly not be able to?

"You really can't. The foundation for fusing soul blood is a Soul Power Fusion Skill. If you want it, you must first complete a Soul Power Fusion Skill with Sister Ah Yin.

"Come to think of it, I told you about this a long time ago. Haven't you fused your Soul Power yet?

"Although your Martial Souls do not have much compatibility, you can rely on your feelings and love as a bridge to achieve resonance on a spiritual level, using that to assist the fusion of your Soul Power..."

Scratching his head, Tian Hao was baffled. Were this pair's feelings even real? So much time had passed, yet they still had not fused their Soul Power?

To fuse another person's soul blood, one first had to fuse Soul Power. The fused Soul Power would serve as the medium to merge the soul blood and mediate it, preventing rejection.

It was like organ transplant surgery in his previous life. Transplanting the organ itself was not difficult; the hard part was the rejection reaction afterward.

That was no joke. One mistake could cost someone their life, so there could be no carelessness.

Tang Hao and Ah Yin both felt awkward at those words. They had already tried their best, but their Martial Souls were simply too different.

Although both counted as Weapon Martial Souls, Ah Yin's was the Plant System Blue Silver Grass, while Tang Hao's was the Clear Sky Hammer. They had absolutely nothing in common.

Even with the Soul Power fusion techniques and experience Tian Hao had provided, it was difficult to succeed. They still had not found any clue.

"This is somewhat dangerous. A mistake could be fatal. I will teach you only after you have mastered the Soul Power Fusion Skill. Sister Ah Yin, you must not secretly teach it to Uncle. That would be harming him."

Tian Hao did not intend to immediately teach Tang Hao the secret art for refining and fusing soul blood. If he truly taught it to him, he would certainly gain another wave of fortune, but there was a risk.

If Tang Hao let curiosity kill the cat, recklessly tried it, and died, Clear Sky Sect would not reason with a small fry like him.

For the sake of his life, it was better to be cautious.

Besides, he felt that fortune was something to be treated carefully. He did not know whether siphoning so much of Tang Hao's fortune would have any bad consequences.

"..."

Tang Hao's face darkened, but he did not argue.

Anyway, that brat was going to teach Ah Yin. Wasn't that the same as teaching him?

Thinking that, Tang Hao sensibly turned and left, returning to his earlier training.

It had to be said that the things this brat had created were quite interesting. In particular, they were highly effective for training bodily balance.

Tian Someone: Brothers, what do you think of my imitation Vital Energy and Dark Force? Pretty reasonable, right? If you think it's good, please support it with recommendations. Your support is my greatest motivation.
