Chapter 50: Cultivating Martial Arts, Blessed by the God of War!

Of course, this isn't the only way.

There's an even simpler method: directly erase the small amount of cursed energy on Zen'in Maki's body, reducing her cursed energy to zero, thereby completing the "Heavenly Restriction"!

However, now is not the time to help Zen'in Maki awaken a complete "Heavenly Restriction."

Only when the "Heavenly Restriction" is incomplete can her physical body's strength not grow, forcing her to focus all her energy on jujutsu.

After hearing Li An's explanation, for the first time in her life, Zen'in Maki didn't hate the "Heavenly Restriction" on her body quite so much.

"It's getting late now. Let's go out for lunch first, and when we get back, I'll teach you some new things." Li An glanced at the time and said.

"Mm, I happen to be hungry too." Zen'in Maki nodded.

Cultivating magical power, besides absorbing external energy, relies more on squeezing the physical body's strength.

This causes the body's metabolic function to be infinitely enhanced, making digestion and absorption especially fast.

After the two went out, they didn't go far, just filling their stomachs at a nearby small restaurant.

Zen'in Maki downed a whopping five big bowls of rice, stunning the other customers in the shop.

Setting down her bowl and chopsticks, Zen'in Maki wiped the corner of her mouth a little embarrassedly and said: "Is my appetite a bit too big?"

"Not at all. Cultivating magical power requires extra nutrition, let alone you still have the 'Heavenly Restriction' on you!" Li An said with a smile, shaking his head.

In his view, girls with big appetites are also very cute.

His own sister Adagaki Aki's appetite is also terrifying, but she has the kind of constitution where she never gets fat no matter how much she eats.

Her body's metabolic ability is extremely terrifying; no matter when, she always feels hungry.

But even though she's constantly eating and drinking lavishly, and it's all high-oil, high-sugar, high-calorie food, her figure never goes out of shape, and is in fact very perfect.

This used to make the former Li An green with envy.

If everyone had this kind of constitution, there would be no obese, three-high, or diabetic patients in this world.

"So that's how it is. No wonder I can usually only eat three bowls, but today I ate five." Zen'in Maki nodded, muttering to herself.

Li An, however, twitched the corner of his mouth. Even three bowls isn't a normal amount of food.

"Alright, since we're done eating, let's go." Li An stood up and said.

"Mm, let me pay. After all, I've learned so much jujutsu from you, and I still owe you three meals." Zen'in Maki said, jumping in first.

"You're not counting this meal too, are you?" Li An asked, a bit speechless.

"This meal is too simple, it doesn't count!" Zen'in Maki said generously.

"That's more like it." Li An nodded, fairly satisfied with her words.

After paying the bill, the two left the restaurant.

However, Li An didn't go home. Instead, he brought Zen'in Maki to an empty outdoor basketball court.

"What are we doing here?" Zen'in Maki asked curiously.

"Of course, to teach you some new things." As Li An spoke, he raised his sword fingers and chanted: "Born from darkness, from darkness to deepest darkness, all the filth and impurities, be purged!"

A "Curtain" descended from the air, enveloping the entire basketball court.

Seeing this, Zen'in Maki knew that whatever Li An was about to teach her couldn't be seen by ordinary people.

After setting up the barrier, Li An used divine power to create two battle sabers.

Tossing one to Zen'in Maki, he said: "Attack me with your martial arts. For fairness, I'll only use martial arts too!"

Zen'in Maki caught the saber, her eyes instantly sharpening: "Are you sure?"

"Of course!" Li An held the battle saber horizontally in front of his chest and said.

However, the moment his words fell, Zen'in Maki's entire body turned into an afterimage, instantly arriving in front of him.

The saber in her hand was already slashing toward his shoulder!

"You didn't aim for the head, and you used the back of the blade. Are you looking down on me?" As Li An spoke, he pinched Zen'in Maki's slashing battle saber between two fingers.

"So strong!" Zen'in Maki was greatly shocked. She tried to pull back the battle saber, only to find Li An's two fingers as hard as a vise, gripping the battle saber without budging an inch. No matter how much strength she used, she couldn't pull it back.

Seeing this, Li An released his fingers and said: "Don't be soft-hearted. Use your full strength!"

Zen'in Maki pulled back the battle saber, her expression instantly turning solemn.

"Since that's the case, then I'll get serious!"

She held the saber with both hands, assuming an opening stance.

Suddenly, killing intent blossomed, aimed at him.

A smile appeared at the corner of Li An's mouth: "That's more like it!"

Zen'in Maki didn't speak again. At this moment, all her attention was focused on Li An.

The next moment, she struck.

The speed was more than three times faster than that previous slash!

But in Li An's eyes, it was still very slow and very weak.

Even if he didn't dodge, this slash couldn't cut a single hair on his body.

But Li An planned to teach Zen'in Maki martial arts today, so naturally he wouldn't directly break this move.

What he was going to do was feed her moves!

The battle saber in his hand swept out horizontally, colliding with Zen'in Maki's battle saber.

The sound of metal clashing rang out, and Zen'in Maki was sent staggering back repeatedly.

Li An, however, stood in place, not moving a muscle!

"This guy, his martial arts are this strong too?" Zen'in Maki gritted her teeth and continued attacking.

In Li An's mind, the martial arts knowledge copied by the "Divine Intelligence Core" in the Divine World surfaced.

This knowledge included the swordsmanship of the King of Swords, Salvatore Doni, as well as various martial arts of the Chinese Wu Xia King, Luo Hao.

Just the variety of techniques and swordsmanship alone numbered in the thousands or tens of thousands!

Today, Li An not only has to teach Zenin Maki martial arts, he himself also has to learn some.

Although the "Divine Mind Core" helped him synthesize a set of martial arts, Li An still felt it wasn't enough.

He wants to bring his martial arts to the level of someone like Luo Hao.

Or, like Lancelot from the Type-Moon World — not only mastering every weapon, but perfectly unifying heart, technique, and body!

In the Liang Shen World, he was granted the divine rank of God of War by the world's rules; if his martial arts couldn't reach the divine-realm level, that would be far too cheap.

Although the Authority "War God of the East" granted him a divine-realm-level kicking technique through his Camel avatar, kicking alone was still far from enough.

Li An is very greedy!

He wants to cultivate every martial art to the divine-realm level — that would be the most perfect God of War!

While fighting Zenin Maki, he continuously employed various sword techniques and swordsmanship.

Because of the God of War divine rank, learning martial arts also came with a special bonus for him.

Almost any martial art, he could master at a glance, and moreover integrate them thoroughly, draw analogies from one to another, and infer three from one example!
