Chapter 132

The Long Clan was about to have a second Gu King, and the atmosphere of the entire clan became solemn. Conversations on the streets decreased significantly, and the Long Clan, which had been very lively recently, finally quieted down.

Long Xuan finished his busy work and finally had some free time. Returning to his comfortable little home, he found himself with nothing to do for a moment.

The Heavenly Dream Dragon Silkworm was still spinning silk, but the output was not enough to make a piece of clothing yet; the plan to make the Heavenly Dream Soul Armor would still require waiting for a long time.

The matter of the Heavenly Mechanism Eye's transformation also required waiting for a long time; it would take many years for the four Divine Dragon Woods to grow before they could produce a steady stream of Divine Dragon Milk. He couldn't be in a hurry for now.

He had tried every method for how the Water Bear Gu could transform, but it seemed unrelated to eating any specific thing, so he had no clue. He was afraid he would need to seek opportunities in the future; sitting there and thinking was useless.

All his clones were currently sitting around the Spirit Spring to cultivate. Speaking of which, the speed of cultivation beside the Spirit Spring was advancing by leaps and bounds. His clones would soon reach the mid-stage of Essence Refining; according to his estimation, only a few months remained, and he just needed to wait patiently.

As for how to utilize these few months, he thought that his "Purgatory True Demon Art" still lacked a matching body technique, so he prepared to grind out a matching body technique during this time.

The "Life and Death Gate" was not a pure body technique, and it couldn't be used in ordinary combat at all, so developing a practical matching body technique was imperative.

Speaking of which, ever since he became a seed prodigy of the Long Clan, he had been allowed to study various secret techniques of the clan. Therefore, over these years, he had ordered his clones to take turns going to the Library Tower to read and study. Now, he had basically learned all the unique body techniques of the Long Clan, and he already had the knowledge reserve to create his own body technique.

A year ago, he was assigned a task by the clan to have an arena match with the Feng Clan. At that time, he was at a critical moment of creation and had no heart to pay attention to it, so he perfunctorily sent his Flame Clone over, not taking the opponent seriously at all.

He didn't give the Flame Clone any top-grade Gu worms, not even second-team Gu worms. The Flame Clone simply relied on the various unique Long Clan body techniques learned from the Library Tower to neatly and cleanly resolve the opponent.

The Long Clan's unique body techniques were very strong, absolutely at a first-class level, belonging to the strongest body-technique clan in the Far West Region; only the Feng Clan could compete with them in body techniques.

But Long Xuan still felt it wasn't enough; he felt it wasn't strong enough, and these weren't body techniques that matched his own cultivation method. The compatibility was not high, and they couldn't perfectly unleash their power.

He prepared to create a stronger body technique with one-hundred-percent compatibility with himself. How could such a strong body-refining cultivation method as the "Purgatory True Demon Art" not have a pure matching body technique?

As for inspiration, he soon had it.

One must know that the vast majority of body-refining cultivation methods could only refine the body surface and had no way to refine the internal organs, while the Long Clan's "Reverse Dragon Art" could refine the internal organs.

After his "Purgatory True Demon Art" drew lessons from the "Reverse Dragon Art," it also possessed the ability to exercise the internal organs, and every layer of the cultivation method would collectively strengthen all internal organs once.

This was the advantage of this type of cultivation method, and by knowing how to fully utilize this advantage, one could create a body technique with one-hundred-percent compatibility.

And the first thing he thought of was a method to concentrate the power of the whole body onto the fist to explode, or to break the surface with a point, concentrating the power of the whole body onto the fingers to explode.

His whole-body power included the power from the internal organs; this was his advantage compared to others, as he could mobilize more physical power from more parts.

His "Purgatory True Demon Art" was already the number one cultivation method. After exaggerated body-refining training like swimming in magma, his physical strength could be said to be the most terrifying among his peers; it was no exaggeration to say he left body-refining experts of the same rank several streets behind.

His physical strength was already exaggerated enough, yet he still had to concentrate the power from all over his body to one point to explode. To what extent would the resulting power be terrifying? Long Xuan couldn't imagine it at all.

Without being polite, once a body technique with this kind of idea was truly developed by him, this body technique would be far stronger than all the unique Long Clan body techniques and would absolutely deserve to be the number one body technique in the Far West.

It was also worth him spending a massive amount of time researching this body technique.

He also quickly thought of a name for this body technique: he would call it "Firm Fist."

If the whole-body power was concentrated at the fingertips to explode, it would be called "Firm Finger."

Finger techniques could break the surface with a point. Compared to a fist, fingers were smaller, and the gathered power would naturally be more concentrated; theoretically, the power would be the greatest.

However, fingers were too slender and were far too fragile compared to a fist.

So whether Firm Finger was stronger or Firm Fist was stronger was really hard to say.

Developing these two moves was not enough. If Firm Fist counted as external force, used for striking the surface and causing external injuries to the enemy...

Then he also wanted to develop a type of internal force that could ignore body-surface defense, using clever force to make the power explode inside the opponent's body, directly attacking the opponent's internal organs.

Since he was mobilizing power from various parts of the body, if the power of each part was not synchronized, this internal force could also be multi-layered, belonging to multiple internal forces.

Internal force layer after layer, seeping into the opponent's body layer by layer, exploding layer by layer, was equivalent to throwing one punch, yet the opponent seemed to have endured multiple punches.

Two fists were no match for four hands; how could the opponent defend against so many fists?

He named this move "Collapse Fist." "Collapse Fist" would also make the opponent even more unable to defend, making it extremely difficult to defend against.

In front of Collapse Fist, it would be useless for the opponent to fight even if they wore thick iron armor; the internal force of Collapse Fist could ignore body-surface defense, directly acting on the inside of the human body and directly attacking the internal organs.

Speaking of which, internal force was an element from his past life, and he didn't know if this world had this concept.

If it didn't, then his Collapse Fist would be completely unable to find any similarity in this world; his Collapse Fist would be unique in this world, and he would once again bring a new concept to this world.

Since no one knew this type of fist technique, it was even more impossible to know how to crack it.

The most terrifying thing was always the unknown. In a situation where no one understood, anyone facing Collapse Fist would inevitably suffer a big loss.

Long Xuan was very satisfied with the three matching body techniques he had brainstormed.

However, although he called them three body techniques, in reality, they were just one; they were all about mobilizing the whole body's power to concentrate on one place through a wonderful method.

It was just that the concentrated power underwent complex changes, which was why it was split into three body techniques.

It could be said that the essence of these three body techniques was the same; Long Xuan could completely research them as one body technique and proceed simultaneously.

Long Xuan's mouth hooked into a smile. Just thinking about the terrifying effects of these three body techniques filled him with motivation; he couldn't wait to grind out these three matching body techniques right now.

Once these three matching body techniques were completed, the "Purgatory True Demon Art" would be like a tiger with wings; the "Purgatory True Demon Art" with attack capabilities would be unstoppable.

In the future, who would dare to compete with him in body techniques? Long Xuan was filled with heroic spirit and full of contempt for future opponents.

He hurriedly sat back in the pavilion, quickly took out paper and pen, and immediately began to grind out the matching body techniques.

The Long Clan was a great clan of body techniques and was most skilled in the application of force. After learning all the Long Clan's body techniques, Long Xuan already had a very profound understanding of the application of force and could be considered proficient in this path.

So this time, he didn't get stuck in his writing; he had already found the solution to all the problems in the Long Clan's book collection. This creation was truly too smooth and enough for him to finish in one go.

In the pavilion, only the rustling sound of the pen tip sliding across the paper could be heard, never stopping.

……

In a flash, three months passed in a hurry. It was currently noon. On the road leading to the Long Clan, a cyan dragon boat was speeding along. Sitting on it were three people: an old man, a youth, and a young girl.

The youth had a handsome appearance and a fair complexion, but he had an arrogant look, yet his eyes would glance at the young girl beside him from time to time.

This young girl had a stunning appearance, skin whiter than snow, and a pair of beautiful eyes that were large and bright, revealing the light of wisdom in her gaze. She was currently flipping through a book on array formations.

And that old man had the aura of a peak Spirit Sea Stage cultivator, his attire was gorgeous and extraordinary, and his aura was impressive; one could tell at a glance that he was a person in a high position.

The handsome youth looked down from the boat from time to time, gradually revealing a look of disdain: "This place is too desolate, right? It seems there aren't even a few Gu Kings. I somewhat regret coming to see those poor relatives."

The old man's expression turned cold, and he immediately straightened his face and said, "Long Biao, be careful with your words. Have I not taught you that disaster comes from the mouth? If you dare to say this sentence again when we meet later, don't blame me for breaking your legs."

The stunning young girl on the side raised her head to look at him, her expression impatient: "I didn't intend to bring you in the first place; you insisted on following us shamelessly. If you dislike this place, go back yourself, so as not to lose etiquette later and cause us to lose face along with you."

Seeing this young girl speak, the arrogant look on Long Biao's face disappeared, and he said with a fawning intent, "Ruoxue, wasn't I afraid that you would suffer coming to this place?"

"I forgot to ask before, what are you coming to this poor place for? Even if there is something, there is no need to mobilize the Fifth Elder to come here, right?"

It turned out that this youth didn't even know what the people on this boat were going to do before he followed them onto the boat.

"Don't say 'poor place' left and right. You don't know that the Western Lands are also a poor place in the eyes of people from the Central Region. You are sitting in a well looking at the sky, arrogant and ignorant; you are simply stupid."

Long Ruoxue frowned her beautiful eyebrows and looked at him impatiently.

"That's right." The Fifth Elder, Long Qian, said at this time: "This world is truly too big. My Long Clan is one of the Ten Great Clans in the Western Lands; in the Western Lands, we are Heaven."

"However, once you leave the Western Lands, we are nothing. There are countless forces in this world that surpass my Long Clan. In those great regions, my clan wouldn't even be ranked as a bottom-tier force."

"Walking toward the very center of the world, there will be many countries. Which country's number of powerhouses doesn't surpass my clan a thousand or ten thousand times?"

"Long Biao, you must put away your arrogance. Long Ao is domineering, Chong Ao is stupid. If you don't change this mentality of yours, you will suffer a big loss sooner or later, and you are destined not to go far in the future."

"The reason I came here in person is also because of that newly unearthed Geng Metal mine vein."

"My clan and the Bai Clan jointly discovered that Geng Metal mine vein and are prepared to divide the Geng Metal mine vein through twelve genius arena matches."

"My clan can obtain one-twelfth of the ownership of the Geng Metal mine vein for every match we win. If we don't win a single match, then that Geng Metal mine vein will have no fate with my clan."

"The Bai Clan is also one of the Ten Great Clans of the Western Lands; their foundation is not weaker than my clan's. Fighting genius arena matches with the Bai Clan, my clan does not have any advantage."

"So I came to visit the Extreme West Long Clan in person this time, prepared to ask for outside help."

"My clan has now reached a comprehensive alliance relationship with the Extreme West Long Clan; borrowing a few geniuses is no problem."

"If we can combine the top geniuses of the two clans together, my clan can definitely have a great advantage in this genius arena match, and it is not impossible to even divide seven or eight percent of the Geng Metal mine vein."
