Chapter 65: We Beidou Fist Have Our Own Spirit Hall

The Beidou Fist exists in a world governed by fatalism.

This fate manifests as the destiny of stars, resting upon those mighty warriors who, with their own fists alone, stir the tides of the world.

Let them fight, struggle, kill, and then… die!

The tragic fate, like a vortex hanging over the world, traps all, none can escape.

Among them, the fate of Beidou is the heaviest, the deepest, crushing all beneath its weight.

“The stars revolve once a year, yet the Pole Star remains unmoved.”

The Seven Administrators hold the void; the feudal lords dwell beneath the heavens. The Emperor’s chariot upholds the mystery of the dark sky.

Ziwei shines with destiny; the heavenly throne is vast and grand. The handle of the Dipper calms the nine emperors’ wind of death.

The Seven Administrators, the feudal lords, the Emperor’s chariot, the Dipper’s handle, the Nine Emperors—all are ancient names for the seven blazing giants that appear in the night sky.

The Seven Stars of Beidou are the heavenly feudal lords, also the Emperor’s war chariot, shattering all enemies who dare defy heaven’s will within the dark sky.

As long as Beidou fulfills its “heavenly justice” of guarding the celestial path, it gains the “heavenly authority” to announce death.

Thus it is recorded: Nan Dou governs life, Beidou governs death.

Even now, when the Heavenly Emperor has not appeared and heaven’s will remains unclear, Beidou has chosen three brothers of peerless heavenly talent as its earthly agents to spread death.

It overlooked one man—of course, not just it, but He, Him, and They all overlooked that man.

A life forged as if a joke, unanticipated by anyone, unnoticed by heaven—the bottom-tier villain Jia Ji… appeared in this world.

A man useless to heaven and earth.

He is a man with no tomorrow.

Precisely because he has no future, no place in fate’s trajectory, yet rose swiftly and blazed brightly, he stirred heaven’s curiosity—

What will he do next?

Where, as an anomaly in this world, will he ultimately go?

Thus, at the turning point of fate, the Buddhas of Nan Dou bestowed upon this youth—who, driven by his own will, charged wildly across the earth swinging his fists—the very thing they deemed most suited to him.

If Nan Dou could summon divine descent, how could Beidou remain unmoved?

After all, he is their own disciple, their own junior—how could they ignore him?

Though Jia Ji is a mysterious candidate who often vanishes from their sight, he constantly does the unexpected.

From having nothing at all, unnoticed by all, to now entangled in countless karmic threads and bloodshed, fate’s threads have been twisted and knotted by him into an inextricable mess—no one can see what the future holds.

And this is perfect.

Not seeing what the future holds is the most delightful thing, for it means no outcome can be worse than the predetermined world—the further he strays from fate, the more joyous it becomes.

So as Jia Ji prepared to depart, the former generations of Beidou decided to grant him a small gift, so he might continue spreading the ripples he caused into a great tsunami that would shatter the future, as foul as a cesspool.

Yes, what descended within the Beidou Hall were not gods or buddhas, but the nameless, faceless Beidou spirits.

The former generations of Beidou—the legendary heroes whose names vanished into dark history—also bestowed upon him, without precedent, the gifts they deemed most fitting.

Undoubtedly, those who cultivated the Beidou Fist knew better than anyone what Jia Ji most needed, what could most aid him.

Only the legitimate heir, not a mere candidate, could learn this forbidden secret art—a profound mystery far beyond the ordinary, transmitted by the Beidou spirits, named—

“Water”

“Shadow”

“Heart”

Unlike conventional secret arts or techniques, this has entered the realm of “Heart,” propelled by emotion, will, and thought—a super-secret technique!

Born from the meaning “Still Mirror, Still Water—Reflecting the Enemy’s Heart,” this terrifying secret art allows one, after battle, to perceive the opponent’s fist techniques and absorb them as one’s own.

Since it grants complete mastery of the opponent’s techniques, the only issue is how to put the acquired knowledge into practice.

But since Beidou Fist disciples possess the strongest physique and highest physical capacity in the world, mimicking a low-level fist art may not be difficult.

Yet even so, this does not change the cheating truth: Beidou disciples learn the essence of an opponent’s fist art after merely one glance.

In other words, the true power of the Water Shadow art lies not in its ability to use the enemy’s techniques, but in its instantaneous “observation,” “dynamic vision,” “memory,” “imagination,” and… “reflection”!

Unlike Duo Qi, who masters an opponent’s techniques after battle through peerless talent, this complete mimicry—like Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V—is impossible for even the most gifted innate talent or physical prowess.

Even without understanding the principle or the method, one can forcibly replicate the opponent’s fist art using the mindset and sensation gained from the battle itself.

Jia Ji merely recalled the Nan Dou fist users he had just seen—except for Sai Aosai’s ultra-dangerous Phoenix Fist—all their techniques and strategies flowed through his mind, etched into his consciousness.

When he wished to use them, he simply retrieved them—everything else was left to his body.

Regarding this convenient method, and the likelihood of fierce complaints from other sects, the party involved, Jia Ji, had this to say:

“Huh? Don’t call it stealing techniques—it’s ridiculous! Can Water Shadow Heart be called stealing? I picked it up! Whose technique is it? Do you own the copyright? Did you patent it? Break the monopoly on fist arts—let me practice first!”

“For all these years, Beidou has survived like this—have you ever reflected on why your techniques keep getting stolen? Isn’t it because you didn’t work hard enough?”

“Do you even understand Beidou Fist’s copy-paste technique? One glance, instant assimilation! Who knows—my use of this technique might be more brilliant, more powerful, more sublime, and more joyful than yours…”

Why don’t you curse the Sharingan, Copy Eye, or Kenkoku Eye? What’s wrong with me activating my Water Shadow Heart? I earned the approval of the former generations through my own effort!

Reflection is theft!

Theft Dao, officially serialized!

As for “divine gaze,” “ancestral blessing,” or “Beidou’s fate”—mystical nonsense—Jia Ji received some benefits, but felt only burdened and uneasy, and in his mind had only one evaluation…

“All this nonsense—nothing compares to the might of Changmen Great Ming Shen.”

But no matter what, at this moment, having mastered the special secret art…

“Water Shadow Heart, Jia Ji,” was born!

Simultaneously, “Tier-Fierce: Boundary Breakthrough!”

The first one to don the mantle of “Water Shadow Heart Jia Ji” has appeared!
