Chapter 152

After doing all this, Xiao slowly opened his eyes and looked at Zhongli.

The latter nodded and said softly:

"Demonstrate it, Xiao."

"Disciple obeys!"

95. Zhongli: The end of martial artists cannot reach the starting point of cultivators

As the martial arts internal energy in Xiao's body began to circulate, Xiao's momentum also became somewhat firm.

A cultivator's aura has always been in harmony with heaven and earth, basically a feeling of heaven and man as one.

Free, unrestrained, and dashing.

But a martial artist's aura does not have the greatness of a cultivator who seems to control one side of the world.

It is like the persistence of resisting a boundless high mountain with meager strength.

It sounds very tall and high.

But in reality, in everyone's eyes, the so-called martial arts internal energy and the martial artist's aura.

Are somewhat too small and vulnerable.

No matter how strong a martial artist is, they are ultimately mortals, but no matter what, they are all cultivators walking towards the immortal path.

Basically, they are not the same kind of life.

Standing from an individual perspective, martial arts techniques have no reference value for them.

But if standing from a collective perspective.

At present, just the aura Xiao displayed is quite good.

After brewing for a while, Xiao suddenly began to pose in some strange postures.

But in everyone's eyes, they could naturally see at a glance that there was a most insignificant, extremely peaceful energy in heaven and earth being drawn into Xiao's body.

As Xiao's movements changed, the speed of that drawing became faster and faster.

Zhongli began to explain.

"This is the Thirteen-Style Spirit-Drawing Body-Forging Technique I created."

"The whole set of techniques consists of thirteen postures."

"As long as you pose in the corresponding posture, you can set up a connection with heaven and earth; these movements are equivalent to bridges."

"By this, you can absorb the gentlest energy in spiritual energy, improve the human body, and continuously store it in the dantian."

"This kind of energy is very weak in terms of prolonging life, and its destructive power, etc., is worlds apart compared to True Essence."

"But fortunately, there are not many requirements for talent."

"I call it internal energy."

"Of course, internal energy is only weak relative to True Essence; compared to elemental power, although it is slightly worse, it is not much worse."

"This is equivalent to the Zhou Tian Qi circulation we practice; it is a fundamental technique to improve strength."

As he spoke, Zhongli paused and suddenly said again:

"Of course, my suggestion is to eat some meat, high-energy food, and then practice the Thirteen-Style Spirit-Drawing Body-Forging Technique, so the effect is better."

Keqing nodded slightly and hurriedly recorded these messages.

On Xiao's side, he had already successfully demonstrated the Thirteen-Style Spirit-Drawing Body-Forging Technique once.

Subsequently, Xiao slowly began to punch.

"In addition to basic cultivation techniques, I also created some other techniques by referring to many technique systems in the Scripture Pavilion."

"For example, the Wuxiang Fist that Xiao is practicing now."

"Wuxiang Fist is a fist technique that is open and closed, paired with internal energy, it can release attacks no weaker than a Vision."

"For example, internal energy release."

As soon as the words fell, Xiao smashed out a punch, landing on the ground.

It's a pity that this is the martial arts arena of a cultivation sect, so small martial arts are naturally unable to destroy the venue.

But everyone could roughly estimate a numerical value for the power of this punch.

Lisa's eyes lit up and she said softly:

"This kind of attack is no weaker than some powerful Visions."

Of course, the powerful Visions Lisa mentioned naturally did not include herself.

Her combat power did not all come from the Vision.

In Lisa's eyes, this kind of attack surpassed Amber's elemental attack, and...

It's about the same as Diluc's elemental skill?

"Wuxiang Fist is actually a type of attack method in the Wuxiang Treasure Book I researched."

Zhongli continued to explain, and as Zhongli narrated, Xiao also continuously demonstrated more combat methods.

Finger techniques, palm techniques, sword techniques, saber techniques, spear techniques...

Basically, Zhongli's Wuxiang Fist accommodated eighteen kinds of martial arts, and all kinds of weapons could have corresponding techniques.

If it were before, Zhongli wouldn't be able to figure out this ability even if he broke his head, but now, after starting to cultivate.

The essence of spiritual energy was understood, plus opening the divine sense, with the level of a cultivator, creating martial arts techniques was simply too easy.

Of course, this ease was only for Zhongli, who himself had quite a lot of martial arts knowledge.

This whole set of Wuxiang Treasure Book, from a cultivator's perspective, is truly fragile.

If they wanted to deal with people who had mastered this kind of martial arts, with their current mastery of True Essence and spells.

They could slap them to death with a casual slap.

But if viewed from the perspective of the original Vision, these techniques are truly exquisite.

Even top-tier Visions have the necessity to learn.

"Finally, it is the footwork and defensive techniques I pondered."

Zhongli looked at Xiao, who nodded, and his figure instantly blurred, flashing and moving everywhere in an instant.

After a while, he added internal energy to his body to form a thin, invisible barrier.

"This is the Maze Step and the Golden Bell Cover."

Zhongli's eyebrows and eyes were smiling, and he said softly.

Seeing this, Ningguang asked curiously:

"What is special about these two techniques?"

This Maze Step looks quite fast, but it is actually a chicken rib.

They fly on swords for a day to circle Teyvat from Liyue, and their own True Essence body defense is an important means to resist heavenly tribulation.

Now, there is really no other special feature to be seen.

"There is nothing special."

Zhongli shook his head and said softly:

"It's just that when I was chatting with the Sect Master a few days ago, the Sect Master mentioned that the Maze Step and the Golden Bell Cover are very popular among martial artists in the cultivation world."

"I just applied these two names."

On the martial arts stage, Xiao also finished demonstrating all the martial arts and quietly left, returning to Zhongli's side and standing silently.

Seeing this, Ningguang also said with some emotion:

"Overall, compared to cultivation, and even compared to demon god attendants who don't cultivate, this system is relatively weak."

"But for those Visions and ordinary people whose strength has not reached the demon god attendant, this technique is already truly very powerful."

"In the end, it's our vision that is high; if it were in the past, this kind of thing would probably make us weep with joy."

"Of course, I'm very happy now too."

Zhongli handed several books to Ningguang and said softly:

"All the techniques are here; they can be sent back to Liyue and arranged for people to practice."

"However, although martial arts are indeed a bit unpresentable compared to our cultivation."

"But it is ultimately an ability to strengthen oneself without relying on a Vision; this kind of cultivation method is unheard of in Teyvat."

"It is hard to guarantee that it will not attract covetous eyes."

"The necessary confidentiality measures must still be tight; besides, for the selection of personnel, in the early stages, it is best to be mainly the Millelith."

After saying that, Zhongli seemed to feel that it was inappropriate for him to worry about these things when he was about to retire, so he changed his words:

"In short, you decide these things yourself; Liyue has been handed over to you, I am just making suggestions."
