Self-Created Body Techniques
The Long Family is about to produce its second Gu King, and the atmosphere in the entire clan has become solemn. Conversations on the streets have decreased significantly, and the once bustling Long Family has finally quieted down.
After finishing his busy work, Long Xuan finally had some free time and returned to his comfortable little home, only to find himself with nothing to do for a while.
The Heavenly Dream Dragon Silkworm are still spinning silk, but the output is still not enough to make a single garment. The plan to make the Heavenly Dream Soul Armor will have to wait a long time.
The transformation of the Eye of Heavenly Secrets's Secrets will also take a long time. It will take many years for the four Divine Dragon Tree to grow and produce a continuous supply of Divine Dragon Milk. He cannot rush it for now.
He had tried all the methods to figure out how the Water Bear Gu could transform, but it seemed to have nothing to do with eating anything, so he had no clue. He probably needed to look for an opportunity in the future, as sitting and thinking about it was useless.
All his clones are currently cultivating around the Spirit Spring. It is said that the progress of cultivation by the Spirit Spring is rapid, and his clone will soon reach the Mid Marrow-Cleansing Stage. According to his estimate, there are only a few months left. He just needs to wait patiently.
As for how to make use of these few months, he realized that his "Purgatory True Demon Art" did not yet have a matching physical technique, so he planned to use this time to work on developing the matching physical technique.
"The Life-and-Death Gate" is not a purely physical technique, and it is not used in ordinary combat. Therefore, it is imperative to develop a practical complementary physical technique.
Since becoming a seed genius of the Long Family, he has been allowed to learn various secret techniques of the clan. So, over the years, he has ordered his clones to take turns entering the Scripture Repository Tower to study. Now, he has basically learned all the unique physical techniques of the Long Family and has the knowledge to create his own physical techniques.
A year ago, he was assigned by his Lineage to fight a duel with the Feng Clan. At that time, he was at a critical moment in his creative work and had no time to deal with it, so he simply sent his Flame Clone over without taking his opponent seriously.
He didn't give Flame Clone any supreme-grade Gu worm, not even a second team of Gu Insect. Flame Clone simply relied on the various unique physical techniques of the Long Family that he learned from the Scripture Repository Tower to decisively defeat his opponent.
The Long Family possesses exceptional physical skills, undoubtedly top-tier, making them the strongest physical skill Lineage in the Far Western Lands. Only the Feng Clan can rival them in physical prowess.
But Long Xuan still felt it wasn't enough, not strong enough, and these weren't the matching physical techniques that complemented his own Cultivation Method. The compatibility wasn't high, so he couldn't unleash their full power.
He planned to create an even stronger physical technique, one that would be 100% compatible with his own style. How could such a powerful Body Refining Cultivation Method as the "Purgatory True Demon Art" function without a perfectly matching physical technique?
As for inspiration, he got it very quickly.
It should be noted that most Body Refining Cultivation Method can only refine the surface of the body and cannot refine the internal organs, but the Long Family's "Reverse Dragon Art" can refine the internal organs.
His "Purgatory True Demon Art" borrowed from "Reverse Dragon Art" and also had the ability to strengthen internal organs. Moreover, each level of the Cultivation Method would collectively strengthen all internal organs.
This is the advantage of this Cultivation Method, and by making full use of this advantage, one can create a physical technique that is 100% compatible.
His first thought was to find a way to concentrate all his strength into his fist and unleash it, or to break through the surface by concentrating all his strength into his fingers and unleashing it.
His overall strength includes the power derived from his internal organs, which is his advantage over others—he can mobilize the physical strength of more parts of his body.
His "Purgatory True Demon Art" is already the number one cultivation Cultivation Method. After undergoing the exaggerated body-refining training of swimming in lava, his physical strength can be said to be the most terrifying among those of the same level. It is no exaggeration to say that he is far superior to other body-refining masters of the same level.
His physical strength was already extraordinary, but he still wanted to concentrate the power from all parts of his body into one point and unleash it. How terrifying would the resulting power be? Long Xuan couldn't even imagine it.
To put it bluntly, if he were to actually develop this kind of physical technique, it would far surpass all of the Long Family's unique physical techniques and would definitely be worthy of being called the number one physical technique in the Far West.
It was worth spending a tremendous amount of time researching this martial art.
He quickly came up with a name for this martial art: "Steel Fist".
If you concentrate all your strength at your fingertips and unleash it, that's called "Steel Finger".
Finger techniques can break through a surface with a single point. Compared to a fist, fingers are smaller, so the power gathered is naturally more concentrated, and theoretically, they are the most powerful.
However, fingers are too slender and much more fragile than a fist.
So it's really hard to say whether the Steel Finger technique or the Steel Fist is stronger.
Developing these two techniques is not enough. If we consider the Steel Fist as Ming Jin (manifested force), it is used to strike the surface and cause external injuries to the enemy.
He also wanted to develop a kind of hidden force that could ignore the body's surface defenses and use skillful force to unleash power within the opponent's body, directly attacking the opponent's internal organs.
Because he draws power from various parts of his body, if the power in each part is not synchronized, this hidden force can be multi-layered, belonging to multiple hidden forces.
Layer upon layer of hidden energy seeps into the opponent's body, each layer exploding outwards, just like delivering a single punch while the opponent feels as if they've received multiple punches.
Two fists can't beat four hands; how could an opponent possibly defend against so many fists?
He named this move "Bursting Fist Bursting Fist," which would make it even more difficult for the opponent to defend against.
Even if the opponent is wearing thick iron armor, they are no match for the Bursting Fist). The Bursting Fist's internal force can ignore the body's surface defense and act directly on the body's internal organs.
Speaking of hidden strength, it was an element from his previous life, and he didn't know if this concept even existed in this world.
If not, then his Bursting Fist Bursting Fist) will be completely unique in this world, and he will once again bring a new concept to this world.
Since no one knows this type of boxing, it's even less likely that they know how to counter it.
The most terrifying thing is always the unknown. Without anyone's understanding, anyone facing the Bursting Fist) will suffer a great loss.
Long Xuan was very satisfied with the three matching physical techniques he had come up with.
Although they are called three physical techniques, they are actually only one. They all use a clever method to gather the power of the whole body and concentrate it in one place.
The only difference is that the concentrated power underwent complex changes, which is why it was broken down into three types of physical techniques.
It can be said that these three physical techniques are essentially the same, and Long Xuan can study them as a single physical technique and conduct research on them simultaneously.
A smile crept onto Long Xuan's lips. The thought of the terrifying effects of these three physical techniques filled him with enthusiasm, and he couldn't wait to master them right now.
Once these three complementary physical techniques are mastered, the "Purgatory True Demon Art Purgatory True Demon Art" will be like a tiger with wings, becoming unstoppable with its offensive capabilities.
Who would dare to challenge him in physical combat in the future? Long Xuan was filled with pride and looked down on any opponent.
He hurriedly sat back down in the pavilion, quickly took out paper and pen, and immediately began practicing the accompanying physical techniques.
The Long Family is a family renowned for its physical skills, especially its mastery of force. After learning all of the Long Family's physical techniques, Long Xuan has gained a profound understanding of the application of force and can be considered a master of it.
Therefore, he did not experience writer's block this time. He had already found solutions to all the problems in the Long Family's collection of books. This creative process went so smoothly that he was able to complete it in one go.
The only sound in the pavilion could be the soft scratching of a pen on paper, a continuous, persistent rustling.
In the blink of an eye, three months had passed. It was noon, and on the road leading to the Long Family, a blue Dragon Boat was speeding along, carrying three people: an old man, a boy, and a girl.
The boy was handsome with fair skin, but he had an arrogant expression, though his eyes would occasionally glance at the girl beside him.
The young girl was stunningly beautiful, with skin as white as snow and a pair of beautiful, large, bright eyes that shone with intelligence. She was flipping through a book on formations.
The old man exuded the aura of the Spirit Sea Peak, his clothes were magnificent and extraordinary, and his presence was remarkable, clearly indicating that he held a high position.
The handsome young man glanced down from the boat every now and then, a look of disdain gradually creeping onto his face. "This place is too desolate! It seems there aren't even many Gu King left. I'm starting to regret coming to see those poor relatives."
The old man's face turned cold, and he immediately said sternly, "Long Biao, watch your words! Haven't I taught you that loose tongues can lead to disaster? If you dare say those words again when we meet later, don't blame me for breaking your legs."
The stunningly beautiful girl beside him glanced up at him, her expression impatient, and said, "I wasn't planning on bringing you along in the first place, but you insisted on sticking around. If you don't like it here, go back by yourself, so you don't embarrass us by making us feel bad."
Upon hearing the young woman speak, Long Biao's arrogant expression vanished, replaced by a fawning tone as he said, "Ruoxue, wasn't I worried you'd suffer here?"
"I forgot to ask before, what are you doing in this poor place? Even if there's something you need, you don't need to send the Five Clans elders here, do you?"
It turns out that this young man didn't even know what the people on the ship were planning to do, yet he still boarded the ship.
"Don't keep saying it's a poor place. Don't you know that the Western Land are also considered poor by the people of the Central Region? You're like a frog in a well, arrogant and ignorant. You're simply foolish."
Long Ruoxue frowned her beautiful brows and gave him an impatient look.
"That's right," said Long Qian, the elder of the Five Clans. "This world is truly vast. My Long Family is one of the ten great clans in the Western Land Western Land; we are practically the heavens there."
"However, once we leave the Western Land, we are nothing. There are countless forces in this world that surpass my Long Family. In those major regions, my clan doesn't even rank among the lowest-level powers."
"If we go to the very center of the world, there will be many more countries, and in which country will the number of powerful individuals not exceed that of our race by a thousand or even ten thousand times?"
"Long Biao, you must put away your arrogance. Long Ao is domineering, while insect arrogance is stupidity. If you don't change this mentality, you will suffer a great loss sooner or later, and you are destined not to go far in the future."
"The reason I came here in person is because of that newly unearthed Geng Metal Ore Vein."
"Our clan and the Bai Clan jointly discovered the Geng Metal Ore Vein Geng Metal Ore Vein and plan to divide it up through a twelve-match Genius Arena Tournament."
"For every victory our clan achieves, we gain ownership of one-twelfth of the Geng Metal Ore Vein. If we lose a single match, the Geng Metal Ore Vein will forever remain out of our reach."
"The Bai Clan is also one of the ten great clans of the Western Land, and its foundation is no weaker than ours. In a contest of geniuses against the Bai Clan, our clan would not have any advantage."
"Therefore, my personal visit to the Far West Long Family is to request external assistance."
"Our clan has now established a full alliance with the Far West Long Family, so borrowing a few geniuses shouldn't be a problem."
"If we can combine the top geniuses of both races, our race will definitely have a huge advantage in this Genius Arena Tournament, and it's even possible that we can take 70% or 80% of the Geng Metal Ore Vein."
