Chapter 679

"Hoo hoo..."

Bai Lu Academy, inside the dormitory.

Xun Xun Heihu got up and found that he was still lying on the bed.

Not far away, Zhao Daniu was still grinding his teeth and snoring.

Outside, the moonlight was like water, pouring down like mercury.

"A dream?"

Xun Xun Heihu clenched the Eastern Zhenwu Talisman around his neck, suddenly got out of bed lightly, and walked out of the room.

"According to what the artifact spirit said, my spirit entered the Eastern Zhenwu Talisman, and the outside world is like sleeping, but everything obtained inside the Eastern Zhenwu Talisman is true and not false..."

Xun Xun Heihu came to the courtyard, suddenly set up a posture, and stood the Bai Lu Stake.

He had practiced this stake art many times, and it could be called extremely proficient.

But this time, it was obviously a bit different.

In the moonlight, along with the boy's breathing, he could feel warm currents emerging from his limbs and bones, and then wandering through his whole body with his thoughts.

"Grasping the power of blood and Qi... I did it!"

Xun Xun Heihu was overjoyed: "Inside the Eastern Zhenwu Talisman, I just practiced simply, and I broke through directly... The outside world actually followed and broke through. According to the words of the person who called himself the artifact spirit... as long as I practice martial arts to the limit, inside the Eastern Zhenwu Talisman, I will naturally accumulate proficiency and then break through?"

"Moreover, practicing in the Eastern Zhenwu space, ten days in the outside world only passed one night..."

He was extremely excited in his heart and couldn't sleep for a long time after lying back on the bed.

It was only at dawn when the sky was about to brighten that he fell into a deep sleep again.

Inside the Eastern Zhenwu space.

"Sure enough... I came in again."

Xun Xun Heihu looked at the figure on the steps and suddenly bowed respectfully: "Artifact spirit senior..."

"Hmm, it seems you have verified it."

Fang Xing nodded: "Remember, do not tell anyone about the existence of the Eastern Zhenwu Talisman, including your parents... otherwise it will bring about a monstrous disaster."

"Yes."

Although Xun Xun Heihu was young, he had also heard stories from storytellers about ordinary people obtaining treasure maps and having their whole families killed.

Although he didn't spend much time with his father, he had been taught many ways of dealing with people by his father's words and deeds. Hearing this, he nodded hurriedly: "I won't tell anyone..."

"Very good. Since that's the case, you can temporarily become the host of the Eastern Zhenwu Talisman. The Eastern Zhenwu Talisman chose you, hoping that you can become a first-class warrior in the world in the future, and even push the Martial Way to continue moving forward..."

Fang Xing smiled and opened his mouth: "With ten times the time of others, and the assistance of breaking through upon reaching the peak, you will inevitably be able to stand at the peak of the Martial Way in the future. But if you want to become the host of the Eastern Zhenwu Talisman, you must also make a vow."

"What vow?" Xun Xun Heihu instead felt a stone fall from his heart.

After all, picking up such a divine object must have a price!

Now, let's see what the price is.

"Eastern Zhenwu Vow: Forever and ever, be irreconcilable with Pan Wu."

Fang Xing said solemnly: "Just remember it. In this world, if you want to sense Pan Wu, the problem is quite big..."

Xun Xun Heihu made the vow in a daze and asked with some expectation: "Artifact spirit senior... since you said the Eastern Zhenwu Talisman has many hosts, are there any divine martial arts manuals left behind?"

"Martial arts manuals, this is naturally there."

Fang Xing's expression was a bit strange: "But I can only teach you 'Original Martial', oh, that is the martial arts you call 'Pan Pan Gu Wu'."

"Ancient Wu Gong? Xiong Jiaotou Xiong said that ancient martial arts are already outdated, and at most they can only be practiced to be equivalent to middle three-rank warriors, and they need to consume a lot of blood and flesh medicine... Since Great Kang Taizu pacified the world and slaughtered fierce beasts, the number of fierce beasts has decreased again and again, and now they are very rare, becoming rare birds and beasts."

Xun Xun Heihu thought of ancient martial arts and couldn't help but speak.

After joining the Bai Lu Academy, besides practicing martial arts every day, there were also special scholars to teach these boys and girls literacy, as well as many Jianghu common sense and knowledge... to avoid teaching a group of blockheads.

Therefore, Xun Xun Heihu actually knew something about ancient martial arts.

"Not bad, Original Martial is already outdated. However, if you want to learn, I have a copy of the 'Most Ancient Wu Gong in the World' here, which was created by the first generation of Human Emperor of Great Xia - Mang."

Fang Xing said leisurely.

"Xia... Mang? Is he the Wu Huang?" Xun Xun Heihu widened his eyes in surprise: "That is an existence that all sects in the Nine Provinces worship during the New Year, the ancestor of the origin of the Martial Way..."

"Not bad, it is the Wu Huang! Moreover, your instructor's description of ancient martial arts is wrong. Although ancient martial arts practiced to the peak are still inferior to new martial arts, they can barely have the vitality of the upper three ranks... After all, Xia Mang lived for more than three hundred years back then. If his foundation hadn't been damaged, he should have been able to live to the limit of five hundred years, equivalent to the upper three-rank Grandmasters of your new martial arts..."

Fang Xing sighed a little.

The first generation struggled through hardships, so it was inevitable that there were some mistakes and omissions.

And even if he saw it, in order to maintain the purity of the Martial Way, he couldn't bring it up.

Xia Mang was pitted like this, otherwise living to the limit of five hundred years shouldn't have been a big problem. Although... it was still very short-lived.

As for the later generations of Xia Emperors, they only knew how to follow the secret manuals and experience of their predecessors and practice hard. It was simply asking for trouble, and they were blockheads that couldn't be carved!

"Upper three-rank martial arts?"

Xun Xun Heihu's eyes lit up: "I want to learn! I want to learn!"

He thought very clearly that his family spent five hundred taels of silver to send him into the Bai Lu Academy, and he barely had the qualification to practice lower three-rank martial arts.

Only after breaking through internal strength and joining the Five Birds Sect could he come into contact with middle three-rank martial arts.

As for the divine martial arts manuals that could be practiced to the upper three ranks?

Which one wouldn't cause a bloody storm if thrown out into the Jianghu?

Even if it was ancient martial arts, he recognized it.

"Hmm, since that's the case, I will pass on the Original Martial created by Xia Mang to you."

Fang Xing nodded indifferently: "I see that the current new martial arts follow the path from outside to inside. The lower three ranks of Copper Gate, Silver Vein, and Golden Silk... are all hard arts. Once you reach the peak of the Seventh Rank, it is the limit of hard arts, and you can generate internal strength from outside to inside, turning to the internal family path..."

"The 'Original Martial' you want to learn, forget it, I'll call it 'Pan Pan Gu Wu'. It's different from this path. It starts from the physique. Although there are some omissions, there are also complementary wonders... You try your best to learn, and learn as much as you can."

!

Xun Xun Heihu was excited, and saw the figure shrouded in gray mist suddenly step forward and point at his forehead.

"Ah!"

He screamed, hugged his head and fell to the ground, only feeling his head splitting with pain.

In his mind, there were suddenly many memories.

It was a scene of a person wearing animal skin practicing martial arts!

Sometimes, his spirit even merged into that person's body, feeling the operation of blood and Qi, and the changes in various force applications...

This was also because Fang Xing knew that the ancient Xia characters used in ancient martial arts were different from now, so he didn't need to let Xun Xun Heihu take another ancient character class, and directly let Xia Mang teach by words and deeds.

"Hoo hoo..."

After a long time, Xun Xun Heihu got up with heavy breathing and looked at his hands: "I... seem to be different."

Although he grasped the blood and Qi, he hadn't entered the ranks yet, and he was young and his body hadn't grown up yet, so his combat power was like a battle-five scum.

But at this moment, he felt that he had mastered many killing techniques without a teacher, and when he saw a living thing, he would subconsciously aim at the vital parts of the other party, and even his intuition was much more accurate than before.

Of course, no matter how he improved, his expression towards Fang Xing in the gray mist became more and more awe-struck.

His keen intuition made him feel that the figure in front of him was as majestic as a god.

If a god descended to earth, it would probably be the momentum of the artifact spirit in front.

"Ancient martial arts are already outdated. If you want to practice, you should focus on new martial arts, with ancient martial arts as a supplement."

Fang Xing said: "However, since ancient martial arts are called the 'Most Ancient Wu Gong in the World', they still have some advantages. They can help you build a solid foundation. If you can practice one or several of the 'Twelve Body Differences', it will also be of great help to your practice of new martial arts."

"Twelve Body Differences?"

Xun Xun Heihu asked suspiciously: "What is that?"

"Your current new martial arts also pay attention to bone structure. When you joined the Bai Lu Academy before, didn't you have your martial bones touched?"

Fang Xing explained: "The so-called 'Twelve Body Differences' can be seen as twelve kinds of top martial arts talents. They were manifested by your ancestors eating raw meat and blood and swallowing the bloodlines of fierce beasts, and were passed down from generation to generation along with the bloodline... By now, they have all turned into recessive traits, but they are enough to bring huge help to your practice of martial arts."

The so-called recessive traits mean that it is unlikely to grow scales, wings, etc., but the benefits are still there.

Unless you encounter a guy whose bloodline is particularly atavistic, it is possible for scales to appear on his body...

"I know."

Xun Xun Heihu's eyes lit up: "Is it 'Ape Arms, Bee Waist, Mantis Legs'?"

When he joined the Bai Lu Academy before, the martial bones he was touched were just ordinary bones, but he heard that in another examination room, a boy was touched with the 'Ape Arms, Bee Waist, Mantis Legs' bone structure and was directly recommended to join the Five Birds Sect.

This is the treatment they only get when they break through to the Sixth Rank in the future!

"Ape Arms, Bee Waist, Mantis Legs? Barely count as the lowest martial bones..." Fang Xing sneered.

Xun Xun Heihu clearly heard a trace of disdain from it.

He tried to operate the ancient martial arts breathing method. Because he had the experience of grasping blood and Qi, he entered the door very quickly: "But... practicing ancient martial arts requires swallowing fierce beast flesh or medicine refined from fierce beast bloodlines, I don't have it..."

This is also the drawback of ancient martial arts. Nowadays, fierce beasts have become rare birds and beasts. Wanting to kill them for meat is much more expensive than eating Copper-Lead Pills and Gold-Mercury Pills.

When Xiong Jiaotou Xiong told them the story of the decline of ancient martial arts, he mentioned an example, which was the She family of White Cloud Mountain. Their ancestral ancient martial arts 'Double Snake Palm' required swallowing the flesh of a fierce beast called 'Double-Headed Horned Python'. But after the Great Kang Dynasty, the Double-Headed Horned Python gradually became extinct. Later generations could only eat the 'Black Horned Python' which possessed a certain bloodline of the Double-Headed Horned Python, and the power of the family's ancient martial arts became much weaker.

By the time of the Nine Provinces era, the She family could hardly find even the Black Horned Python, and were almost exterminated.

Later, the family head made a decision to fully switch to the Five Birds Sect. A Grandmaster of the Five Birds Sect took action to change the ancient martial arts into new martial arts, changing the family's 'Double Snake Palm' into a set of 'Spirit Snake Swimming Body Palm', which finally produced many internal strength experts and barely maintained the name of an aristocratic family...

Ancient martial arts aristocratic families are like this, if it were Xun Xun Heihu, he could only cry...

No matter how many temptations and glories there were outside... before he cultivated the Primal Spirit, he hadn't taken half a step out of Lingbao Palace.

Fang Xing chuckled and said. When he let Xia Mang collect all kinds of exotic blood and flesh, besides research, he had the intention of storing them: "It's impossible to let you eat to your heart's content, but as a primer to guide you to start practicing, it's not difficult..."
