The tiger was revered above all beasts!
King of the land, symbol of slaughter and conquest!
And the black tiger was the king among kings!
The Black Tiger Earthly Fiend True Scripture had extrapolated Tiger Form Fist to its utmost limit, condensing Tiger Soul. Amid breaking past limits, it gave birth to pure baleful ferocity, transforming it into pure killing intent.
Once this art was unleashed, it was terrifying beyond compare. Its moves were perfected to the extreme, every motion like the roar of a Tiger Demon. Enemies who saw it would lose their courage before the fight even began!
Jiang Wangzu opened his eyes. At that moment, he was like a Black Tiger Supreme standing upright in human form, his Sha Qi surging to the heavens, terrifying beyond compare, like a humanoid vicious beast!
He circulated the Black Tiger Earthly Fiend True Scripture and unleashed Tiger Claw Probing the Clouds. The bones throughout his body crackled and popped, setting off bursts of sonic booms!
With such terrifying might, even a martial artist at greater mastery of Skin-Refining would probably be torn open by one claw before him!
"Good!"
"Powerful!"
"Now I really don't eat beef anymore!"
Jiang Wangzu withdrew his aura and once again returned to his harmless, inoffensive appearance.
But on closer look, there was a sense of returning to simplicity and truth!
"You came out so quickly?"
"How did it look?"
When Chen Liujia saw Jiang Wangzu leave the study and walk toward the pavilion, he could not help asking.
"I've already memorized all twenty-seven Tiger Form Fist manuals at the Strength Training realm, and I have many ideas for the moment."
"But as for exactly how to improve it, I still need to practice these arts, take their essence, discard their dregs, integrate them fully, and reshape the fist art!"
Jiang Wangzu said.
He did not dare say that he had already succeeded.
He was afraid Chen Liujia would slice him up for research.
And when Chen Liujia heard Jiang Wangzu's words, he was somewhat stunned too.
Originally, he had thought Jiang Wangzu could not possibly have researched anything in such a short time.
He had not expected this kid to truly have ideas.
Although martial artists at the Strength Training realm generally could not research any powerful arts, nothing in the world was absolute.
Because he himself was that exception.
Smelting a hundred schools into one, achieving his own path!
What he could do, his disciple might not necessarily be unable to do.
"All right."
"Then you study it first. As it happens, I'll also think carefully about what kind of Skin-Refining art you should cultivate!"
"It's still early. Practice with your senior sister first."
"I had Chen Zhong reserve a table. In a while, the three of us, master and disciples, will have dinner together."
Chen Liujia nodded when he heard this.
"Perfect. I'll ask Senior Sister to give me some pointers on the new Tiger Form Fist moves I came up with!"
Jiang Wangzu nodded when he heard this.
He wanted to show himself off in front of Chen Liujia, but he could not behave too monstrously.
"Good!"
"I'd like to see this Tiger Form Fist you created yourself too."
Han Qiao said.
As she spoke, the two of them stepped onto the arena.
They would only compete in moves, not spar in anything else.
The moves recorded in those twenty-seven Tiger Form Fist manuals flashed through Jiang Wangzu's mind, and then he broke them down, recombined them, and displayed them.
He changed moves again and again, like a grandmaster of Tiger Form Fist, and in terms of technique, he actually had a slight edge over Han Qiao.
Han Qiao, who had been casually playing around at first, also began to take it seriously.
With the Three Yin Extreme Baleful Art paired with its corresponding martial moves, her power rose sharply, and she broke through several of Jiang Wangzu's Tiger Form Fist moves in succession.
Then Jiang Wangzu, "unintentionally," unleashed the Black Tiger Void-Rending Claw from the Black Tiger Earthly Fiend True Scripture, directly tearing open Han Qiao's defense and grabbing Han Qiao's vital point!
Han Qiao froze in place.
Jiang Wangzu was stunned as well, and his body's subconscious reaction made him unable to help giving it a squeeze.
Mm...
It left one with endless aftertaste!
"This move... is a little interesting!"
Chen Liujia, who was watching from the pavilion, could not help sitting up straight when he saw Jiang Wangzu's move.
He was very familiar with the tiger claw in Tiger Form Fist, but this tiger-claw move of Jiang Wangzu's let him see a nearly perfect technique.
Within this move were the shadows of the wise masters of past generations, as well as his own pioneering innovation.
The key was, how long had it been since he had looked through those twenty-seven Tiger Form Fist manuals? Yet in actual combat, he had comprehended such a move.
Given time, perhaps a top-tier Strength Training cultivation method would be born from his hands!
"How much longer are you going to keep holding on?"
Han Qiao came back to her senses, her pretty face reddening. She lowered her head to look at Jiang Wangzu's large hand and spoke with a touch of angry embarrassment.
"Oh, oh, oh!"
"Senior Sister, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to."
Jiang Wangzu hurriedly withdrew his hand.
"It's fine."
"When martial artists spar, physical contact is hard to avoid."
"But that move of yours actually broke through my technique."
"If you and I were experts of the same realm, relying on that move just now alone, you could have heavily injured me, or even taken my life."
Han Qiao also voiced her sincere approval.
Although she admitted she had been careless just now, the battle instincts of a force-wielding martial artist absolutely would not have allowed her to make such a mistake.
Yet she had still been caught by Jiang Wangzu right at her lifeline.
What did that prove?
It proved that the level of Jiang Wangzu's move had already surpassed hers!
Although in martial cultivation, realm and foundation came first, while techniques were only flowers added to brocade.
But if martial artists of the same level fought, superior techniques were enough to seize every advantage!
"Senior Sister, you flatter me."
"An opponent won't care whether my strength is higher or lower than his. A battle at the same level is itself a false premise."
"With Senior Sister's strength, if you attacked with full force, I wouldn't even be able to get close to you!"
Jiang Wangzu spoke very humbly.
"Dragon Tiger Heaven Stance builds the foundation, Tiger Form Fist fixes the techniques. With a foundation like this, perhaps a Tiger Form Grandmaster will appear in the future!"
"Tiger Form is good. Tiger Form must be trained!"
"Who in the jianghu doesn't know that I'm a Dragon Form expert? And no small number of Tiger Form experts have died by my hand."
"If A-Zu roams the jianghu with Tiger Form, who could possibly connect his sect and master back to me?"
Chen Liujia calculated this in his heart, unable to keep a satisfied expression from showing.
On the Martial Practice Platform.
Han Qiao also became serious. Her moves were fierce and sharp, their variations endless, and under such heavy pressure, she actually "forced" two more newly created Tiger Form Fist moves out of Jiang Wangzu.
Even Chen Liujia could not stop praising Jiang Wangzu's comprehension.
What the first few realms of martial cultivation required was innate aptitude, but to reach the peak, what one ultimately relied on was still comprehension.
Before this, he had thought Jiang Wangzu's innate aptitude would not do.
But now, Jiang Wangzu had already shed his mortal shell and exchanged his bones; his innate aptitude was excellent, and coupled with his comprehension...
In the future, he truly had an enormous possibility of becoming a Xiantian Grandmaster, or even a Mystic Profound Great Grandmaster!
Jiang Wangzu and Han Qiao trained until very late before they finally stopped.
The two washed up, changed into brand-new black training clothes, then went together to the front hall to have dinner with Chen Liujia.
The master and disciples chatted and laughed, making for quite the lively scene.
After eating dinner at Chen Liujia's place, Jiang Wangzu made another trip to Benevolent World Hall.
Although he no longer needed the Little Medical Immortal to help him brew the secret Strength Training medicines, he still went every few days to talk love and romance with the Little Medical Immortal.
However, now he had new needs.
Dragon Tiger Golden Body Paste and Dragon Tiger Medicinal Bath Powder.
With these two things, combined with other quick-success methods, he would definitely be able to cultivate the Limit-Breaking Level Third-Rate Hard Body Cultivation Method, Dragon Tiger Forged Golden Body, to the realm of great perfection very soon!
At that time, even if he faced someone at perfected Skin-Refining head-on, or even a Blood Qi realm martial artist, what would he have to fear!
