I'll Teach You Peerless Divine Skills

Three wild wolves collapsed and died, and Shi Tianwu rubbed his wrists.

Given that Shi Tianwu's baseline starting point was the Perfect Realm of ten thousand layers, killing three wild wolves was simple for him, and it was impossible for him to be injured. However, Lu Bian's body was truly too frail, causing him to "self-inflict" injuries.

"Is it over just like that?"

"I didn't see anything clearly at all."

Lu Bian conversed with Shi Tianwu in his mind.

"Brother Lu Bian, with your physical constitution... I find it hard to imagine how you could survive in this place."

Shi Tianwu scanned the surrounding environment by the bright moonlight; this was not a place where humans belonged.

"I'll live as long as I can. Thank you, Brother Tianwu, for extending my life for another day."

Lu Bian said to Shi Tianwu.

"No."

"What do you mean, no?"

"Since I saved you today, I cannot allow you to die—to die in a place like this."

"Huh?"

Lu Bian was stunned.

"Brother Tianwu, what can you possibly do? Your consciousness cannot remain in my body for long."

"There is another way, and that is... I will teach you martial arts."

"Once you cultivate to a certain realm, you will be able to live comfortably in this place, and even in this new world that is unfamiliar to you."

Shi Tianwu stood with his hands behind his back, possessing the aura of a grandmaster of the martial path.

That was Lu Bian's impression of Shi Tianwu.

And as for Shi Tianwu, he was far more than just a "grandmaster of the martial path"...

He was the Ultimate Martial God, the only Martial God, the "final line of defense for life" chosen by the Primordial Spirit, the Great Beings, and Sha An Tian.

Lu Bian had never read the Sea Tiger or Martial God series of Hong Kong comics. Occasionally, when surfing the internet, he had seen a few memes and terms related to the Sea Tiger and Martial God series, but he hadn't understood them and let them slide right off his smooth cerebral cortex.

His complete lack of knowledge regarding the Sea Tiger series led Lu Bian to have certain misunderstandings about Shi Tianwu.

"Brother Lu Bian, I can sense that in the air of this world, there exists some special energy. Your body seems extremely hungry for this energy; through your breathing, a large amount of this energy is being intercepted and retained within your body."

"Brother Shi Tianwu, are you serious?"

"Let me think..."

"This special energy in the air, could it be Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi?" Lu Bian suggested.

"What is Spiritual Qi?"

"Um, natural energy?"

"Whatever this energy is called, my further perception is that it is a gentle and pure energy, beneficial to your body."

"Could your past illnesses have been because this natural energy did not exist in your original world, causing your body's needs to go unmet?" Shi Tianwu voiced his speculation.

"Can such a thing even happen?"

Lu Bian couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Back when he was in school, he had been certain that he possessed a special constitution.

For instance, he could predict the weather for the next twelve hours with one hundred percent accuracy. However, it came at the cost of physical pain. When he felt his body gradually becoming heavy and every joint in his body ached, a sunny day would inevitably turn overcast, an overcast day would inevitably rain, and a rainy day would inevitably turn into a torrential downpour.

At school, his classmates would always ask how Lu Bian was feeling that day; if Lu Bian said he wasn't feeling well, the whole class would bring their umbrellas.

"So, what my body was lacking was Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi?"

Lu Bian had looked up many cases similar to his own. Among those who shared his plight, a large portion had suffered physical lesions, such as bone deformities, spinal fusion, and sacroiliac joint fusion and deformation.

As Lu Bian pondered, the content of his thoughts was also "seen" by Shi Tianwu.

Now, they were sharing the same brain.

"Don't be too sad."

In the spiritual world, Lu Bian felt as if Shi Tianwu were patting his shoulder to soothe his mood.

"Let go of these distracting thoughts."

"We are beginning our training."

Shi Tianwu found a flat piece of ground, adjusted his posture, and began teaching him, starting with his breathing.

"Brother Tianwu, what martial art are you going to teach me?" Lu Bian asked.

"Martial art?"

"It is the Ultimate Boundless Qigong," Shi Tianwu replied.

"As I see it, only the Ultimate Boundless Qigong is suitable right now."

"Alright. I've got it, Ultimate Boundless Qigong."

"Is this a family heirloom of yours? Or was it taught to you by a sect?"

"If you pass it on to me, are there any rules I need to follow?"

"..."

Shi Tianwu felt that Lu Bian was talking a bit too much, reminding him of another brother he once had.

However, he did not dislike the talkative Lu Bian.

"Let me tell you about the origin of the Ultimate Boundless Qigong."

"Once, there was a martial arts genius from the Shaolin Temple called the Ultimate Monk. He spent his entire life creating the Ultimate Boundless Qigong, using Shaolin Qigong as a foundation and merging it with the martial arts of other schools... In the end, he completed this divine skill. Unfortunately, when he emerged from his seclusion in an underwater chamber, he discovered that the martial art he had created could not help his benefactor."

"Why couldn't it help?" Lu Bian asked curiously.

"Because his benefactor had already passed away before he emerged, and his benefactor's foster son possessed power and martial arts that far surpassed his own, having no need for the help of the Ultimate Boundless Qigong. Thus, the Ultimate Monk passed away while sitting in meditation within that underwater chamber."

"That really is a story filled with regret."

"Mm." Shi Tianwu smiled faintly; there was more to the story.

It was just that the protagonist of the latter part of the story was difficult for him to evaluate.

"Wait a second, a Shaolin Temple exists on your side too?"

"The Ultimate Monk from the Shaolin Temple—that was probably five hundred thousand years ago," Shi Tianwu replied.

"What? Five hundred thousand years ago?" Lu Bian was shocked.

"That truly is a long-standing heritage."

"To be passed down for so long, the Ultimate Boundless Qigong must be truly formidable."

"That is correct."

This was a peerless divine skill that even an ordinary person could cultivate to reach the equivalent of 500,000 horsepower of Magnetic Rotation. Of course, it had to be an ordinary person with a certain level of martial aptitude.

Lu Bian and Shi Tianwu communicated rapidly within their shared consciousness, while the body they occupied did not stop moving.

Shi Tianwu took the lead, using the fist techniques of the Ultimate Boundless Qigong as the entry point for Lu Bian's martial arts training.

Shi Tianwu moved very slowly, enough for Lu Bian's mind and body to memorize every move and stance of the Ultimate Boundless Qigong. Even if he couldn't remember them, Shi Tianwu had "special methods" to brand the Ultimate Boundless Qigong into Lu Bian's body.

Lu Bian's subjective consciousness did not retain a complete memory, but Shi Tianwu ensured that Lu Bian's body objectively recorded the practice of the Ultimate Boundless Qigong.

Because of three famished wild wolves, the entire night became a time for Lu Bian and Shi Tianwu to practice the Ultimate Boundless Qigong.
