He realized this must be the sect master’s official quarters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go in. The sect master is waiting inside,” the guide said, then joined the other three in standing guard at the entrance—clearly, only Fang Can was allowed entry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Can nodded slightly and walked slowly through the gate, under the gaze of the four men. Behind him, the heavy door slammed shut with a bang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Feels like a Hongmen Banquet.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Can muttered to himself, ignoring the exquisitely tended exotic flowers and rare plants, the pavilions and towers, as he walked toward the innermost tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pushing open the door, he faced a towering figure two meters and twenty centimeters tall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since arriving in this world, Fang Can had met warrior after warrior growing more massive, their physiques increasingly absurd—everyone looked like Schwarzenegger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the door opened, the giant turned and fixed his gaze on the newcomer: “You’re Fang Can?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Fang Can nod, the giant finally spoke: “Too skinny.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Can: ???\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The giant said coolly: “Thin arms, thin legs—completely unlike what I expect. How can you fight enemies in the martial path?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Fang Can’s bewildered expression, the tall man explained: “In the Transformation Stage, flesh and blood are power. Two warriors both at Xuanguan First Tier—the heavier one can easily fight three of the lighter.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Can understood this theory: given equal muscle quality, greater weight meant greater advantage, just like weight classes in boxing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, raw strength alone didn’t define everything—but it could compensate for many shortcomings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man continued: “Too bad you’re already eighteen. Your bones are set. Otherwise, with secret medicines and lifelong training, you could’ve grown to two meters easily.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Fang Can finally snapped: “You’re the sect master?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Correct. I am Yang Duan, sect master of the Tiger Demon Sect,” the man nodded, confirming his identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The next Heaven’s Scroll listing opens in three days. Time is short. Learn as much as you can.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, sect master,” Fang Can said sincerely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Duan regarded Fang Can with a shadowed gaze: “Don’t thank me. Just don’t drag the Tiger Demon Sect into trouble when you cause it later.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Can: ‘Wait, what? What are you talking about? I don’t get it.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Can was baffled, not understanding Yang Duan’s thoughts—but Yang Duan didn’t explain. He simply spoke:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have two martial arts here: The Evil Tiger Devouring Body Method and the Subduing Tiger, Subduing Dragon Golden Body. Which one do you want to learn?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment’s hesitation, Fang Can said: “...I’m a genius. Can I learn both?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Duan blinked in surprise, then nodded: “Though greed leads to indigestion, fine. Take both.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a flick of his hand, two wooden boxes on the table behind him floated through the air. Fang Can caught them both.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“These contain the reduced transmission of the cultivation methods. Inside is my heart-image, conveying the true essence of the martial arts. Only the first reader may contemplate them for half an hour.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What you comprehend, how much you grasp—it all depends on your own insight.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Is this book some kind of experience scroll or devil fruit? Only one person can use it.’ Fang Can mentally grumbled, staring at the scroll, then gently opened one box.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Golden light—blinding, piercing golden light—shot into Fang Can’s third eye, transforming into a single true essence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Fang Can came to his senses, he found the box held a sheepskin scroll. Opening it, using the characters he’d learned these past days, he recognized the first few large characters: The Evil Tiger Devouring Body Method.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even without reading, it didn’t matter—because as his eyes fell upon the characters, Yang Duan’s voice automatically echoed in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man had transmitted the art using a heart-image pre-stored in the box.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only now did Fang Can understand a mystery: if everyone in this world was illiterate, how did experts learn martial scriptures?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now he got it. Heart-images were the answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, written words could never match the clarity and precision of direct mental transmission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Fang Can couldn’t yet perform such a technique—he’d likely need to reach the Heavenly Path realm to do so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to Yang Duan’s heart-image, The Evil Tiger Devouring Body Method was a technique that drained one’s foundation and consumed blood qi—similar to the Devil’s Self-Destruction Art. Do not use it lightly unless facing certain death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Wait, wait, wait.’ Seeing this, under Yang Duan’s odd gaze, Fang Can frantically pulled a vial of arsenic from his inner robe and swallowed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling his talent increase tenfold, Fang Can exhaled in relief. Now this felt right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, he opened the other box. Inside, The Subduing Tiger, Subduing Dragon Golden Body was an external cultivation technique that hardened the skin’s surface beyond steel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Staring at the contents of both scrolls, Fang Can sank into them completely, beginning to deeply comprehend their essence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On his panel, the description field began to display corresponding information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Description field:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The host’s mind gathers, using The Evil Tiger Devouring Body Method as a foundation, flesh and blood as altar, intent as anchor, heart-image as offering—beginning visualization and manifestation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Manifesting [The Evil Tiger Devouring Body Method]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Estimated time: 5 minutes 16 seconds—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The host’s mind gathers, using The Subduing Tiger, Subduing Dragon Golden Body as a foundation…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the heart-images flickered continuously, ten minutes later, Fang Can rose from the ground, took a long breath—he had fully learned the heart-image’s contents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet though he had learned them, the heart-image in his mind still mechanically blared on and on, repeating the two techniques’ information as if it wouldn’t stop until the full half-hour passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this, Fang Can focused his mind and actively released his own heart-image to clash with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, like fire near butter, his mind cleared—the incessant, noisy heart-image energy dissolved completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Learned it?” Seeing Fang Can rise, even though he knew the boy was a genius, Yang Duan couldn’t help being startled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah. Took me ten minutes to finish.” Fang Can smiled, modestly boasting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good,” Yang Duan clapped his hands and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Someone! Fang Can stole the sect’s secret arts. Immediately strip him of his disciple status and throw him into the dungeon!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Can: Huh???\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1244,"2026-06-20T07:05:46.054Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","e871dd79dbbe98495c0e669cd67fbd5443c45adbd377b7c0eaa2e2fcd5c7e04b","this-high-martial-world-is-too-crazy-chapter-39","this-high-martial-world-is-too-crazy-chapter-37",368,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-high-martial-world-is-too-crazy-cover.jpg"]
