My head is throbbing! I feel like it's going to explode!
Putting down the last medical manual, Wang Hao rubbed his forehead, feeling very uncomfortable and dizzy.
Even with the True Spirit Sword Intent enhancing his memory, he still found it extremely difficult to memorize so much at once.
But that was all it was!
Taking a deep breath, Wang Hao, before he had forgotten the contents of those secret manuals, sat cross-legged and activated the system's Dao Comprehension Function to understand and comprehend the knowledge in those manuals.
The best way to truly memorize knowledge and prevent forgetting it is to understand it thoroughly and make it your own knowledge. In this way, you won't easily forget it.
The Dao Comprehension Function can do this, and it's something he already knew from memory.
Previously, I had only forcibly memorized the content, but it was just rote memorization. As for understanding and applying it, that was pure nonsense.
Now, the Dao Comprehension Function can help him fully Complete Integration this knowledge.
Wang Hao attached great importance to the inheritance of these Eastern Heretic. He used his Dao Comprehension Function to comprehend all of them, including those strange arts, divination techniques, medical knowledge, and martial arts. The focus was on the martial arts manuals.
Eastern Heretic expected of a Grandmaster, almost all of his martial arts skills were self-created, and those that could be placed in the tomb were all martial arts skills that he approved of, with the lowest level being First-Rate -notch.
There are as many as eight martial arts that reach the Grandmaster level, including the Finger-Flicking Divine Ability, Fallen Blossom Divine Sword Palm, Whirlwind Leaf-Sweeping Legs, and Jade Flute Swordsmanship that Wang Hao is familiar with, as well as four other martial arts that he does not know.
That makes sense, though. Both The Return of the Return of the Condor Heroes and the Legend of the Condor Heroes are just TV dramas and novels, and the content they can present is limited. How could they possibly show all of the Eastern Heretic's martial arts skills?
Among these martial arts, the Fallen Blossom Divine Sword Palm can be combined with the Whirlwind Leaf-Sweeping Legs to form a martial art of Innate level— the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Strikes.
Besides, what Wang Hao was most concerned about, the Blue Sea Tide-Rising Song, was also a martial art at the Innate level, which was a level higher than the Grandmaster level. Obviously, Eastern Heretic Huang Yaoshi, had finally broken through to the realm of the Xiantian Grandmaster, otherwise he would not have been able to elevate the Blue Sea Tide-Rising Song to the Innate level.
This is a martial art at the Innate level!
How many Innate martial arts are there in the entire martial arts world? In the entire the Smiling, Proud Wanderer, only the Sunflower Manual, the Muscle-Tendon Changing Classic of Shaolin Temple, and the Pure Yang Limitless Art of the Wudang Sect are Masamune Innate- level martial arts.
Ren Woxing's Star-Absorbing Great Art can at most be considered Half-step Innate martial art, Mount Hua Sect's Purple Cloud Divine Art should also barely touch the edge of the Innate.
If these Eastern Heretic's teachings were leaked, they would surely cause turmoil throughout the martial arts world, unleashing a series of bloody storms, no less than the upheaval caused by the appearance of the Nine Yin True Scripture back then.
"As expected of the Eastern Heretic's strongest technique, it allows one to cultivate internal energy while using it."
After finally comprehending the Blue Sea Tide-Rising Song, Wang Hao stopped using his Dao Comprehension Function. Reflecting on the power of the Blue Sea Tide-Rising Song, he couldn't help but feel a sense of awe.
The Blue Sea Tide-Rising Song is not only a musical martial art, but also an internal energy cultivation method. Performing it is equivalent to cultivating internal energy, which is quite magical.
Similarly, the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Strikes, which is a fusion of the Fallen Blossom Divine Sword Palm and the Whirlwind Leaf-Sweeping Legs, also has a corresponding internal energy cultivation method. When performing the moves, it is equivalent to cultivating internal energy, which is extremely efficient.
Unfortunately...
"None of these martial arts techniques are suitable for me right now!"
With a sigh, Wang Hao realized he really had no solution in this regard.
Eastern Heretic Huang Yaoshi, the Eastern Heretic, cultivated internal energy, and the martial arts he created were based on internal energy, which was completely unsuitable for him as an external martial arts practitioner.
Fortunately, not all of them are unsuitable.
The Eastern Heretic's legacy includes three sword techniques that reach the Grandmaster level, as well as the Fallen Blossom Divine Sword Palm, which can also be considered a sword technique, Blood Wind Fast Sword, Grandmaster- level sword technique previously taught by Zhao Dachui.
He incorporated the essence he gleaned into the Ten Stances of Bloody Battle, increasing his progress from (10/100) to (30/100).
However, six hundred Fortune Points were also consumed, meaning it took a full ten minutes to comprehend these things.
Although Wang Hao was extremely distressed by this expenditure, he also understood that Fortune Points was worthwhile!
After resting for a while, Wang Hao activated the Dao Comprehension Function again, but this time he used it not to comprehend martial arts, but to deduce them.
He wanted to develop a suitable martial arts tradition for the women like Yushu, one that could be learned quickly.
After all, this place could very well become a major foundation and a fallback plan for me in the future, so I must pay close attention to it.
With only one hundred Fortune Points remaining, Wang Hao finally opened his eyes, which meant that the deduction was successful.
"This foundation -Foundation Establishment Sword Art should be enough for their early-stage cultivation."
After savoring the first sword technique he had created, Wang Hao nodded in satisfaction.
This is a foundational sword technique that is no weaker than the improved Ten Stances of Bloody Battle. In terms of level, it has already reached the Peak First-Rate, and it is almost at the threshold of Grandmaster- level martial arts.
One point to note here is that although martial arts correspond to cultivation levels, the "Super-First-Rate" level is special, as it is essentially a transition between the First-Rate -class and the Grandmaster Realm.
Most importantly, at this stage, one must form one's own martial arts beliefs and cultivate a First-Rate -class martial art to a state of Transcendent Mastery. Only then will one be qualified to break through to the Grandmaster Realm.
Therefore, there is no corresponding martial art for the realm of "Super-First-Rate". Generally, a cultivator will reach the "super first-class" level when he has mastered a First-Rate martial art to a Transcendent Mastery Super-First-Rate.
The Foundation Establishment Sword Art created by Wang Hao was based on the sword techniques he knew, and was developed by deducing and creating it. It can be said to have combined the advantages of those sword techniques.
What's most remarkable is that this sword technique is a dual-sword technique, which greatly enhances attack speed.
It also referenced the killing formations of the assassins from the Blood Robe Tower, and incorporated some esoteric numerology techniques inherited from the Eastern Heretic, allowing it to be used by multiple people in a combined sword formation, with the power increasing as the number of people increases.
Of course, Wang Hao only deduced this sword technique to the Super-First-Rate level. After all, he himself was only First-Rate cultivator and was not clear about the situation of the Grandmaster Realm, so he dared not deduce it rashly.
Even so, this Foundation Establishment Sword Art is enough for Yushu and the others to cultivate for several years, and by then they might even have escaped the Blood Robe Tower.
When that time comes, I can then deduce the subsequent parts of the Foundation Establishment Sword Art.
Most importantly, this sword technique incorporates some of the essence of the External Training Golden Bell Shield. Practicing this sword technique will also temper the muscles, bones, and skin, making it a decent external martial art.
That's why he called it the Foundation Establishment Sword Art!
Another point is that, as its name suggests, this Foundation Establishment Sword Art is specifically designed for foundation building. It doesn't have any particularly outstanding features. This means that practitioners can use this sword technique as a foundation, modify it according to their own conditions, and ultimately cultivate the Foundation Establishment Sword Art that best suits them.
In fact, most martial arts have this characteristic, but his Foundation Establishment Sword Art simply amplifies it many times over.
The only pity is that because it was the first time to deduce such a complete and systematic cultivation method, it consumed a lot of energy, costing more than a thousand Fortune Points to deduce it.
It was more than twice as difficult as comprehending the Eastern Heretic's legacy. Indeed, creating something anew is far more difficult than directly cultivating the martial arts of predecessors; they are not even in the same league.
"My benefactor, the bathwater is ready for you!"
Seeing Wang Hao open his eyes again, Yushu, who was waiting in the outer room, spoke up to remind him, while holding a bowl of millet porridge and a few side dishes, obviously to serve Wang Hao his washing and meal.
Although she didn't know Wang Hao hadn't eaten or drunk anything for the past two days but was still full of energy, she would still bring him a meal every day at mealtimes.
"I definitely need to wash it!"
Smelling the faint smell of sweat on his body, Wang Hao didn't refuse. He got up and walked towards the inner room on the other side, where there was a large bathtub for washing up.
Wang Hao casually lowered the curtain on the door, took off his clothes, and comfortably lay down in the bathtub.
Taking a cool bath on such a hot day is a real treat, but before he could enjoy it for long, a pair of soft, boneless hands landed on his shoulders, gently massaging them, which startled him so much that he almost jumped up.
Is this the first time my benefactor has been served like this?
Noticing the tension in Wang Hao's shoulder muscles, Yushu chuckled softly, her beautiful eyes sweeping over Wang Hao's strong, scarred body, and a blush crept onto her pretty face.
"How could that be? I Master Hao, am a regular at those 'massage parlors'!"
Wang Hao quickly shook his head in denial, and what he said was the absolute truth.
He did indeed frequently visit a brothel near his home that offered "massage" services, but he only used their restroom when he needed to urinate.
But that's a service, isn't it?
Yushu smiled without saying a word, and did not expose Wang Hao's words, but simply massaged Wang Hao's shoulders.
Wang Hao also took the opportunity to enjoy the decadent lifestyle of the wealthy, and it was indeed very comfortable!
Yushu was quite beautiful, only a notch below Dongfang Bai, but even in Huaxia, she would God Level.
Having your shoulders massaged by such a beautiful woman is an indescribable feeling.
"Find some time to copy down those martial arts manuals on the desk. Don't write down the names of the manuals or the names of the martial arts moves inside, and don't leave any special information. Return them to me in ten days."
While enjoying the beautiful woman's shoulder massage, Wang Hao spoke up.
Unfortunately, his calligraphy was so bad that he had to find someone to copy it for him.
As for whether having Yushu copy the text would be remembered and leaked, Wang Hao wasn't too worried about that, because he could tell that this woman was a smart person who knew how to do things.
Besides, although those martial arts techniques are precious, they are nothing to Wang Hao. Even if they were to spread, it wouldn't affect him much. In fact, he plans to spread them in the future for the sake of the main quest!
So it's really not a big deal.
This is also a test for him. If she performs well enough to satisfy him, he wouldn't mind taking her in as a confidante and giving her a bright future.
If this woman doesn't behave well, then he can only live like this. If she goes too far, he wouldn't mind eliminating her.
The copied manuals were naturally intended to be given to Dongfang Bai, since he had triggered a side quest, one of which was to collect divine martial arts techniques for her.
A Second-rate martial art Fortune Points, a First-Rate -rate martial art Fortune Points, a Grandmaster- level martial art costs one hundred Fortune Points, and a Xiantian Grandmaster martial art costs one thousand Fortune Points.
Sending the entire legacy of the Eastern Heretic would yield three thousand Fortune Points, which was the main reason he dared to consume so many Fortune Points before.
This is much more worthwhile and easier than trying to help that girl improve her cultivation level.
After all, as a loyal fan of Old Master Jin, he knows quite a few secrets. For example, he gained a lot from this trip to Peach Blossom Island, and now he already has his next target.
As for why it was specifically mentioned that the martial arts names were erased, it was naturally to avoid being tracked down by Dongfang Bai. After all, Eastern Heretic Huang Yaoshi, had quite a reputation, and even after hundreds of years, some clues would still remain.
Who knows, that girl might trace it back to him.
Until we figure out a way to defuse that girl's hatred, it's really not the right time to confront her directly.
He went to great lengths for this!
