Chapter Nineteen: Choosing a Kung Fu Style

  If you're not talented, make up for it with hard work. If you don't have enough innate ability, use elixirs and intense cultivation to pile up your strength. As someone from Ye Shuang's background, diligence is no problem, and as a student of Xiao Xing Meng, elixirs and cultivation techniques are nothing to worry about.

  Even if it's a pig, train it into Zhu Bajie!

  Ye Shang's nearly "tyrannical" mode of ignoring pain, Xiao Xing Meng happened to have a skill that was quite suitable for him.

  Xiao Xing Meng's predecessor, when he was in the Dou Sheng era, had a battle with a Dou Sheng who was known as the Golden Vajra Dou Sheng! That Dou Sheng's every kick, every punch, and every palm were all fiercely powerful, with an overwhelming force that was unmatched. However, the reason why he was called the Golden Vajra Dou Sheng was due to his incredibly strong physical body.

  Having reached the realm of Dou Sheng, spatial power was at his command. The attacks of the Dou Sheng couldn't shatter space or tear apart heaven and earth. However, that Golden Immortal Dou Sheng was bombarded by three Dou Sheng of the same level with their ultimate techniques, yet he didn't retreat!

  It is said that he even fought against Tai Xugu Long, and Tai Xugu Long personally admitted that even if it was a magical beast with physical strength far surpassing that of humans, it could not match him in terms of physical strength. This Fighting Saint, whose physical strength surpassed even that of magical beasts, would often charge straight at his opponent, using his body to withstand the other party's high-level fighting techniques. No matter whether you used a downpour of fire or ice and snow, you couldn't even block his advance.

  According to his physical strength, he doesn't need to dodge at all. Some people thought that his physical strength was only strong on the surface of his muscles, and used some close-range attacks on his internal organs, but it turned out that he had also trained his internal organs to be extremely strong. To defeat him, one would have to use brute force to break through his defenses. But what's more, his aura is incredibly thick, surpassing even those of the same rank as a Fighting Saint.

  At that time, he was already a top-notch existence in the Soul Clan, and Xue Xing Meng, who is now Xiao Xing Meng, made an appointment with him to fight. They fought for a whole day before finally breaking through his defense and piercing his physical body! In the Golden Vajra's Nana Ring, he discovered a technique: "Arhat Playing Heaven Technique"!

  "Luohan Tougong" is a mid-level Heaven-stage cultivation technique. After achieving great success, it can be compared to high-level Heaven-stage techniques. However, this technique cannot be cultivated by those who lack great willpower. From the start of practice, one must endure the pain of Qi collisions in the meridians to temper the body. When facing a strong opponent, even with swords and guns, they cannot advance! When facing an extremely strong opponent, the armor of Qi is far stronger than that of the same level, and attacks from lower-level techniques cannot break through! However, when advancing in levels, one must endure the pain of nine deaths. The stronger the Qi, the higher the level, and the more robust and painful the body becomes. Practitioners of this technique must be extremely cautious!

  To put it simply, this is an extremely powerful technique that only a masochist can learn. After practicing it, one's physical body becomes stronger than a magical beast, and with the extremely strong aura armor, its defensive power reaches a terrifying level!

  A strong defense can also be transformed into a powerful offense. When he fights, it's like an iron-clad man punching out with an iron fist against an ordinary person...

  Suigongfa also has "Luohan Huiwen Zhang", "Luohan Jingang Jiao" and "Luohan Mietian Quan" three combat skills, all of which are mid-level Tianjie! However, these three moves can only be used by those who do not practice Luohantongtian Gong.

  In other words, the four heavenly stages of the intermediate level will fall on one person at the same time! The soul star Meng took it back to the soul clan and chose those who were willing and had a strong heart to come and learn. The twenty people selected in the end were all strong-willed, but when they advanced to Dou Zhe, eight out of ten fainted from pain. After waking up, they all said they wanted to give up this merit. In the past two percent, most of them only reached Dou Ling and didn't dare to attack upwards. Because when Dou Ling attacked Dou Wang, two people actually died in agony!

  Compared to this, Xiao Yan's pain from swallowing the strange flame was nothing.

  But after the Golden Fist Saint, Meng Xing had never seen anyone with a stronger defense than him. With this combat technique, if it weren't for its extremely difficult requirements, it would probably be considered a high-level Heaven-tier technique, and its three moves have infinite power, almost taking himself down back then.

  Even if Ye Xuan was almost equivalent to a painless patient, he didn't know if he could practice this technique. However, it was currently the most suitable technique for him.

  Xiao Xing Meng: "You don't need to know the name of my sect for now, you just need to know that Yunlan Sect is nothing in front of us. And your master, I am the biggest boss of the sect. You have ten senior brothers and sisters, and those who can be accepted as disciples by me must be handsome, extremely intelligent, highly talented, and have a superlative background. They must be proficient in astronomy, geography, and various other subjects... Of course, except for you."

  Pausing for a moment, Xiao Xing Meng continued: "To be honest, your talent is mediocre, your looks are ordinary, your background is humble, and you can barely read and write..."

  Wiping away cold sweat, Teacher, are you here to bully me?

  "Anyway, these are not problems. As your master, I have a way to make you an unparalleled strongman. Don't look at me and think we're about the same age, calling me 'Old Master' is even making me younger."

  After saying "respecting teachers and valuing morality" and the likes of "the four principles of villainy", Xiao Xing Meng then taught him the "Luohan Tiantong Gong" and three other fighting skills, although it may be a long time before he can cultivate them. As for himself, he didn't have any interest in keeping secrets, so letting him get familiar with them was also a good thing.

  Of course, at the same time, he also taught him the skills and techniques. Of course, Xiao Xing Meng also left a mark on Ye Shuang's body, first to ensure his safety, and secondly, if he leaked the skills, he could know about it. Although this skill is almost impossible for anyone to practice, and if one can't practice this skill, then they won't be able to use the fighting techniques, but whether or not they will leak the skills is also a standard to test whether the disciple is loyal.

  Ye Shang was born at the bottom, and he had long known that human hearts were treacherous. For him, there was no one on this continent worth trusting. It seemed that keeping secrets was not a problem. From then on, Ye Shang became the first inner disciple of Meng Xingyun, the tenth master of the Soul Tribe, ranking eleventh, and also the first disciple without the surname "Soul".

  Ye Shuang is currently seriously injured, Xiao Xing Meng hired someone to take care of him until he recovered, and also taught him the basic exercises for practicing Qi, the method of circulating Qi, while supplementing with Dan medicine to speed up his Qi practice.

  The days of practicing Qi were quite boring, and he could only do his best to give him some medicinal help. The rest was up to him. Xiao Xing Meng had been shuttling between the Xiao family and the disciple's home, occasionally pointing out a few things to Xiao Mei, teasing Xiao Ye Yan at night, but unexpectedly, Xiao Xing Meng thought that Xiao Ye Yan was a dull person, but he turned out to be quite cheerful, often loving to joke around, which didn't match his serious and stern appearance at all. But this way, the days were spent in a carefree manner.

  Two months later, Ye Can not only recovered but also reached the fifth stage of Dou Zhi Qi thanks to the effect of the practice pill. For a long time, Xiao Xing Meng only needed to send him some medicine pills, and he would need to focus on his cultivation. As they spent more time together, he found that this disciple was most in line with his heart because he had the deepest understanding of the "Anti-Hero's Four Principles". Moreover, some of Ye Can's previous survival methods gave Xiao Xing Meng a lot of inspiration, and it seemed that being from a humble background also had its advantages. These were things that people like Soul Heaven Emperor, who came from a higher background, could not understand.

  Ye Shang was even more surprised that a strong master like his would be interested in these things. With his abilities, did he still need to resort to such despicable and sinister means?

  Actually, Xiao Xing Meng and the like are mainly for those in the clan who have not grown up yet but like to pretend to be dead. What's more, wasn't Xiao Xuan, a strong man like that, beaten to death? The law of the strong on this continent is too obvious, these rascal's sinister ways of preserving their lives are quite useful.

  That day when he returned to the Xiao family from Ye Qingshu's place, he found that Xiao Yan was wearing a black robe and walking towards the auction house on the street.

  Xiao Xing Meng slapped his forehead, it seemed that Xiao Yan was going to auction off the Foundation Establishment Pill that Medicine Old had invented. The Foundation Establishment Pill could accelerate a fighter's cultivation speed, and now that new disciple Ye Shan was just suitable for using it. Unfortunately, the medicine formula was Medicine Old's exclusive creation, so it seemed he needed to go bid on a bottle himself to study the formula.
