Chapter 124: I Want All

"It's been so many years, I never thought that what was impossible before would still be impossible now." Bai Lang recalled his impression after viewing the martial arts secret manuals in the imperial palace inner court the last time he came; this time it again proved that everyone is rather different. "That's right, indeed so. In the essence of internal force there should be a difference, and moreover the difference in bodily strength is probably even greater—here every person's bodily strength is not as good as that of an ordinary teenager from my world."

Bai Lang flipped through an e-book absentmindedly while seriously thinking, 'Perhaps it's hard, very hard to find suitable martial arts in this world...... At most I can only use them for reference, which means I need to gather more materials and practice each one thoroughly. Oh well, I'll just use these martial arts to correct and supplement the shortcomings of my Black Tiger Fist. What a pity, I even thought maybe I could find a martial art to cultivate.'

There are no internal cultivation methods here; they must be the secret treasures of each sect. —Bai Lang opened his browser, the homepage set to a dedicated martial arts sect website entrance link. As expected, the Huashan Sect is still there, as are Shaolin Wudang and others; clicking in, you find that every sect's internal cultivation methods and techniques are all present, but that's just a name, at most with some introduction, of course all just boasting towards the cattle direction.

Bai Lang laughed; his internal force is the Thirteen Tai Bao Golden Bell Shield, vast and mighty, and because Bai Lang himself cultivates the Tiger Form True Meaning and has a relation to Black Tiger Fist, it also carries a hint of tyrannical ferocity. The internal force of this world probably really has nothing worth his special attention—even if he obtained it, he couldn't practice it; he did this several hundred years ago. Now seeing familiar names like Primordial Origin Skill, Bai Lang just smiles. 'Speaking of which, I seem to have seen this kind of internal force before but forgot.'

Bai Lang turned off the computer, found a small dojo and began practicing his Black Tiger Fist; although he couldn't emit energy bursts, just polishing the punches and kicks was already enough—one could still cultivate aura and killing intent.

After Bai Lang finished training and took a shower, he discovered he had forgotten to bring a change of clothes...... Being carefree won't do; although it's a bit uncomfortable, he could only put on the clothes he had taken off again. 'I washed for nothing!' he muttered to himself, but when he went out he saw Yan Xiaoyan coming up with a large bundle of things. 'Bai Lang classmate, Bai Lang junior, here's your dao uniform, plus several sets of changes—outside to inside.' As she said this, the woman wore a coquettish expression, apparently a look reserved for teasing juniors.

Bai Lang, a stalwart man, stands 1.86 meters tall and weighs 108 kilograms; his handsome, martial appearance truly fits the identity and aesthetic of a so-called 'warrior'. If one said Yan Xiaoyan would be moved because of him—that's entirely possible. However Bai Lang realizes this is mostly a joke, which once again confirms that Yu Yu is definitely up to some conspiracy. 'With this face and this build, I absolutely shouldn't be a simp!'

Bai Lang's smile was embarrassed yet polite; Yan Xiaoyan found him increasingly amusing, so she whispered in his ear, 'Your girlfriend, still a virgin, huh......'

Bai Lang nearly spat out a mouthful of old blood—this inexplicably gave him a girlfriend—if it were the former Bai Lang he'd die laughing, but the present Bai Lang just thinks women are truly gossipy. 'Ah, sorry, Yan classmate, I forgot to shower; I'll go wash up now.' He forcibly changed the subject, turned and ran, leaving behind a string of laughter.

Since he now had a change of clothes, he might as well wash again. While showering, Bai Lang could also gossip, 'A virgin? Someone like her still a virgin? Indeed, after all she's under twenty. In that case, Tian Li's abilities are not bad—being able to navigate among these men while protecting her biggest asset, preparing for future investments...... Her IQ and EQ aren't low, but what does that have to do with me......'

Bai Lang does have some ideas, but the problem is he feels it's necessary to maintain the so-called 'Primordial Yang' before reaching the Innate stage; although he still hasn't figured out exactly how it's calculated, keeping it certainly can't hurt—although the fifth pass has no prospects yet, breaking through the Innate barrier is definitely a prerequisite, and Bai Lang is not far from the Innate stage. The only pity is that he will waste ten years here.

'Breaking through the Innate in this world is extremely difficult, the vital energy doesn't support it.' Bai Lang sighed. Wanting to break through the Innate here? What he could think of was merely breaking open the joints, clearing the Ren and Du meridians, but opening the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Pass is impossible. Clearing the Ren and Du meridians would also be good—then the internal force circulation could be endless, and the dantian should also be able to return to the origin and achieve a thread of Innate qi; by then we could say whether his daily absorption of Great Sun Purple Qi is useful or not.

After finishing his shower, Bai Lang went to enjoy the bathtub; it was all free. Then he came out, dried himself, and put on new clothes. 'Boxer briefs? Really uncomfortable!' Bai Lang directly went without underwear and put on the dao uniform; according to his aesthetic, the outfit he wore obviously came from Dragon Ball, differing from other martial artists— they mostly wear variations of cross-collared Chinese attire, whereas Bai Lang wears a pullover short-sleeve dao uniform, merely lacking any 'turtle' character on the front and back.

He has shoes on his feet, and they are indeed professional martial arts boots, soft yet tough, able to protect the ankles well. Bai Lang still has short hair—indeed, in battle his hair looks like it's been chewed by a dog, so he simply cut it short, which also happens to look more orderly in this world. There are plenty of retro outfits in this world, especially among disciples of various sects, many of whom still dress in Ming Dynasty style.

Although not wearing underwear is a bit unfamiliar, Bai Lang still went out carrying two more sets of martial arts dao uniforms; the money had already been deposited into his card, and he now intends to go to the Student Union to earn some extra cash. Outside, Tian Li didn't continue waiting for him—perhaps her Dao cultivation isn't enough for Yan Xiaoyan to beat? Bai Lang thinks that's fine, so he won't feel embarrassed later. As for a 'goddess' like Tian Li, he has no special view—she's just a passerby.

Having breakfast was actually quite awkward; nobody was familiar with each other, and despite appearing to eat heartily, she actually hadn't eaten anything......

Bai Lang strutting down the street didn't attract more attention—there are plenty of oddballs at the university, and his appearance is still not bad. After arriving at the Student Union, Yan Xiaoyan should have already greeted him, and moreover the Martial Arts Club counts as the foremost club, so the Student Union staff, even if they haven't yet contacted new Martial Arts Club members, have already memorized all this person's data. Bai Lang had just entered when a responsible clerk immediately took him to the office and gave him several addresses.

'I want all of these!' Bai Lang clenched his fist...
