Is this what you call average talent?

"This is the second six-star mission."

Su Bei felt a slight excitement in his heart. "Last time the mission was the Mystery of the Cultivation Method, so it's easier for high-star missions to appear when the differences between two worlds are significant."

However, it was difficult to trigger it actively.

Last time, it was a main quest to improve strength, triggered by the different cultivation systems; this time, it was a moving mission, a panel quest triggered by the difference between spiritual energy and source energy.

The reward was still a wisp of Emperor Sun Aura. This thing was a good item. Su Bei could easily crush opponents of the same level thanks to the Emperor Sun Aura!

It was like having an infinite mana bar cheat!

Without it, Su Bei's strength wouldn't have declined significantly, but this martial arts evaluation would have been more difficult.

Therefore, this mission had to be completed!

[Deeply understand the composition of these energies, understand the reason for their appearance, where they are born, and try to tame these energies for your own use.]

Su Bei carefully reviewed the mission explanation.

However, this mission was not as easy to complete as he had imagined.

Firstly, regarding the birth and appearance of energies such as metal, wood, water, fire, earth, sun, moon, wind, rain, thunder, and lightning, which represented source energy, historians still had many different opinions, and there was no clear, definitive explanation.

Secondly, the types of energy in this world were too numerous, and the composition of source energy was even more complex. Fortunately, there was still science in the high-martial world.

Things that couldn't be explained by metaphysics could be handed over to science.

At worst, he could just look through all of them, and the mission would be completed.

As martial artists cultivated to a higher level, they combined metaphysics and science.

However, to understand these things in detail, a certain level of authority was needed. He wondered if the Military Department had it. In his previous life, even reading a university student's thesis required a membership, let alone high-end, cutting-edge information.

"I'll ask tomorrow."

Su Bei thought, and then temporarily put the matter aside.

The Emperor Sun Aura was indeed good, but he still had one in his body, so it wasn't that urgent.

After all, he hadn't even used one-thousandth of the energy contained within it. It was as vast as the ocean. He just didn't know if the consumption would be more exaggerated when he reached the Martial Artist realm.

So, this mission must be completed, but it didn't have to be completed in a short period. Even if it took several years, Su Bei could afford to wait.

He calmed himself down.

Su Bei browsed and compared options within the Association's link, finally choosing a fist technique – "Cannon Fist."

It was a high-grade martial art fist technique.

It was a fist technique that had evolved from ancient martial arts, and it was absolutely famous among fist techniques.

Because its stances were expansive, its power was fierce, its momentum was strong, its movements were vigorous, and it was characterized by broad, sweeping motions, emphasizing hardness. The routines were relatively simple, and many people learned it.

This fist technique was perfect for Su Bei. His fighting style was expansive and dense, like a continuous storm, leaving his opponents no chance to retaliate if he got an opening!

He directly chose to exchange for it.

Before long, an encrypted document was transmitted to Su Bei's phone.

As for the Gene Method, Su Bei searched for a long time and finally chose the "Five Animal Gene Method." It was a high-grade Gene Method with average combat ability, but it was gentle and simple to cultivate, with no high requirements for talent. However, it offered immunity to various diseases and had the effect of prolonging life.

It was perfect for his parents to cultivate, and it was also quite suitable for Su He.

The talents of the three were all at the level of ordinary people. It would be difficult for them to achieve anything in cultivation. It would be better for them to cultivate this kind of health-preserving Gene Method, which would greatly improve their physical fitness.

He directly sent the document of this Gene Method to their family's group chat.

Su Bei: @everyone This is the Gene Method I just exchanged. Cultivate it well and remember not to easily pass it on to others!

Su He: Got it!!

Mother Su: Why didn't you choose a better Gene Method for yourself! Why did you choose this for us?

Father Su: [Voice message] 25s

Su Bei found a set of cultivation tutorials in the Wuji Martial Hall's software. Seeing a seventy-year-old man, it looked very convincing. He spent another 800,000 to download them all and then packed them up and sent them to the group.

The price was not cheap at all. This was only for the health-preserving "Five Animal Gene Method." Other high-grade Gene Method tutorial videos were all over a million.

It made Su Bei's eyes water.

But this money was completely necessary. If he let his parents figure it out themselves, he didn't know when they would be able to get started.

After giving a few simple instructions in the group, Su Bei memorized the essence of the Cannon Fist and tossed his phone aside.

He was currently in an underground training room. It was extremely soundproof and made of special steel, so he didn't have to worry about the noise from his cultivation affecting others.

"Cannon Fist"

The fist technique says: "Inside needs to be lifted, outside needs to follow, rising needs to be horizontal, falling needs to be smooth, striking needs to be close, Qi needs to be urged, the fist is like a cannon, destroying the enemy's body."

Simply put, setting aside each move like Chasing Wind Cannon, Lying Heart Cannon, Flying Cloud Cannon, Consecutive Cannon, Facing Cannon, Skyward Cannon, Wrapped Whip Cannon, etc., it was more like a technique for releasing power, concentrating the strength in the body onto the fist, and releasing it instantaneously. After long practice, the fist would be like a cannon, immensely powerful.

When cultivated to a deep level, the explosive power was definitely not inferior to spear techniques.

Bang bang bang!

He began to practice according to the descriptions in the fist technique.

With the boost from his perfected martial arts realm in fist techniques, Su Bei's movements gradually smoothed out from their initial awkwardness. The connection between each punch became increasingly fluid, his fist winds sounding like whips cracking through the air with sharp reports.

In just over ten minutes, he had grasped the basics of Cannon Fist.

This was the benefit of having a high martial arts realm. For cultivation of similar martial skills, it was not an exaggeration to say it was twice as effective, or even a thousand miles gained in a single day.

Su Bei gradually immersed himself in practicing the fist technique.

Time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, a night had passed. Su Bei had achieved his cultivation goals; he wouldn't feel tired even if he didn't sleep for three days.

He was about to head to the Shattered Battlefield, and he needed to seize this time to improve his strength.

Sweat poured down his body as he moved, his figure flashing. As his fists whistled through the air, the sound of breaking wind exploded. Each punch was like a firecracker detonating, carrying astonishing power.

After a long while.

Su Bei stopped, his brow furrowed slightly.

After a night of practice, Cannon Fist had reached the proficient level. It was enough to deal with enemies, but while the movements looked lively, the increase in power was minimal, barely noticeable. Moreover, the energy consumption was even higher than basic fist techniques, and the two couldn't be perfectly integrated, leading to more openings.

If he were to face an opponent stronger than him, he might even suffer a crushing defeat because of this.

"My talent for fist techniques really isn't as strong as I imagined."

Su Bei sighed inwardly.

Of course, "strong" here was in comparison to the spear. When he was practicing the Piercing Sun Spear Technique, he hadn't encountered any such problems. In just one night, he had already reached the minor completion stage!

Keep in mind, his martial arts realm for the spear was only at the great completion stage!

But his fist technique realm was perfected, a significant difference that represented a qualitative leap.

However, if others knew Su Bei's thoughts, they would probably want to punch him. His martial arts talent already far surpassed ordinary people, and he could quickly master any martial skill. Reaching the proficient level in just one night was something many people wouldn't even dare to dream of.

"Time is tight. If I had enough time, I could slowly refine my skills, but that's definitely not possible now."

Su Bei still had plans to learn archery techniques.

Since that was the case.

Where talent fell short, he would use pills to break through!

Intelligence Enhancement Pill, bring it on!

He had saved some previously and used them all on his spear techniques. Now, he only had one Intelligence Enhancement Pill left, which Su Bei swallowed directly.

Instantly.

A flash of inspiration struck his mind. The previously somewhat obscure fist technique, and the changes in certain key points of the movements, all became clear to Su Bei with new understanding.

He assumed a stance and began attacking the dummy in the training room.

This time, it was indeed different.

Time flew by. When the effect of the Intelligence Enhancement Pill wore off, Su Bei's Cannon Fist had already reached the minor completion stage.

"I really am a martial arts genius!"

But this was still not enough.

Without any hesitation, Su Bei went all out and took out the Intermediate Enlightenment Pill, popping it straight into his mouth!

The pill transformed into a cool sensation that surged directly into his mind. It felt as if countless tiny electrical currents were connecting and stimulating his brain, wisdom surging out of Su Bei's mind like a volcanic eruption!

Looking at the fist technique again, it was like dissecting an ox with expert skill; everything he didn't understand was suddenly clear!

Su Bei moved to the dummy almost instantaneously, applying everything in his mind to his physical body.

He entered a state of pure focus, discarding all previous techniques, completely immersed in Cannon Fist.

He didn't know how much time had passed, only feeling that time was incredibly long, as if only he and his fist existed.

He didn't even notice when Liu Shan entered.

His martial arts realm in Cannon Fist grew rapidly, like bamboo shoots after a heavy rain, soaring upwards!

Bang!

Bang!

Boom!

Boom!

As Su Bei threw each punch, his blood surged, and his Qi Force erupted. The sound of his punches changed, each one exploding like a cannonball, crisp and clear. His stances seemed to shake the heavens, and his footwork was like a raging hurricane!

Boom!

With Su Bei's final punch, the specially made dummy, capable of withstanding continuous impacts of eight thousand jin of force, shattered into pieces like it was made of foam!

It fell to the side, showcasing the power of that single punch!

Su Bei retracted his fist and stood tall, his blood overflowing. His breathing was a little heavy, but his spirit was incredibly invigorated!

Cannon Fist.

It had reached the Great Accomplishment realm!

It was even as if only a thin sheet of paper separated him from the Perfected realm, a mere poke and it would break!

"The medicinal effect isn't enough, otherwise, I might have entered the Perfected realm today!"

Su Bei felt a touch of regret, but he was already very satisfied.

He recalled what he had gained in his mind.

Cannon Fist, belonging to fire, was the opening and closing of Qi Force within the human body, much like ancient times when medicine was loaded into a cannon's barrel. It opened like a cannon firing, the gunpowder exploding in the barrel, and the cannonball shooting out instantly. Its nature was the fiercest and most violent!

With the Perfected realm of martial arts, combined with this fiery fist technique, Su Bei's fist techniques were now surpassing his spear techniques. In fact, once he broke through to the Perfected realm, this fist technique would become his strongest method.

"Xiao Bei."

"This... this is what you called having average talent for fist techniques?"

Liu Shan stood beside him, completely stunned.

His expression was blank.

It seemed that some things he had only recently managed to piece back together were now shattered again.
