Full-Level Fierce Person

30: 30 Realm 30: 30 Realm “What comes after the Power Transmission Realm?” Fang Zhixing asked.

Cheng Tianen replied, “The Power Transmission Realm is about twisting all of one’s strength into a single force, but this force is initially very thin and long, so the Power Transmission Realm is jokingly referred to as the ‘Thin Snake Realm’ or the ‘Long Snake Realm.’

However, as this ‘thin snake’ gradually grows stronger, one day it will become a big python, hence the second realm is named the ‘Great Python Realm’ or the ‘Python Power Realm.’

The subsequent realms are the Five Beasts Realm, the Nine Ox Realm, the Hundred Cows Realm, the Thousand Armies Realm, the Ten Thousand Men Realm, and so on.

The higher the realm, the greater the strength, and the stronger the combat power.

For example, in the Hundred Cows Realm, how strong would your strength be?

Strong enough to match a hundred oxen, unparalleled in valor!

For example, in the Thousand Armies Realm, you alone could sweep through a thousand troops like rolling up a carpet, preeminent among the troops.

Then there’s the Ten Thousand Men Realm, which is truly formidable as one man guarding a pass against ten thousand unable to break through, snapping fingers to shatter ten thousand armors, laughing proudly in Jianghu.”

Fang Zhixing nodded, quickly understanding in his mind.

The division of martial artists’ cultivation realms is actually very straightforward and brutal—it’s based on strength as the benchmark for step-by-step upgrades, each step higher than the last.

Having confirmed this, Fang Zhixing couldn’t help but glance sideways at Xigou.

As expected.

Xigou sprawled on the ground, his ears drooping, completely listless, as if he had lost the will to live.

Clearly, this was a world where martial arts were supreme, with no spiritual energy or spiritual roots available for the path of immortal cultivation.

Xigou’s dream of “transforming into a human” had been shattered.

He might have to remain a dog for the rest of his life.

Life held no more joy for him!

Amused, Fang Zhixing couldn’t help but ask Cheng Tianen, “Apart from practicing martial arts, are there other ways for one to become stronger?”

Cheng Tianen shook his head, “All the experts I’ve seen are martial artists.”

Fang Zhixing understood and asked, “What martial arts do you know?”

Cheng Tianen continued, “I am a disciple of the Iron Mountain Sect, and I cultivate the ‘Iron Mountain Skill.’

Fang Zhixing pressed on, “What realm had you reached at your peak?”

A complex expression crossed Cheng Tianen’s face as he rubbed his thick hands together and replied, “The early stages of the Great Python Realm, I suppose.”

Fang Zhixing fell silent for a moment, then solemnly said, “I would like to learn the ‘Iron Mountain Skill.’ Would you be willing to teach me?”

Cheng Tianen fell silent, remaining speechless for a long while.

Seeing this, Fang Zhixing added, “We can negotiate the price.”

Cheng Tianen’s mouth twitched slightly as he let out a long sigh and nodded, “I can teach you.

The fee is the same as for my five apprentices, which is eight hundred Big Coin a month, not including food and lodging.”

Fang Zhixing looked around the spacious yard and replied, “I’ll give you a Gold Bean a month for accommodation, and I’ll take care of my own food and drink.”

Cheng Tianen waved his hand, “To stay here, it must be at least one Gold Bean and five hundred Big Coin.”

Fang Zhixing bargained, “Let’s meet halfway, one Gold Bean and two hundred Big Coin.”

Cheng Tianen pondered for a moment, then slowly said, “Alright, that’ll do.”

Fang Zhixing was pleased and paid the tuition without hesitation before moving into the Cheng Family’s large courtyard.

Xigou wandered around the yard, ran back, and communicated telepathically, “I’ve checked it out: aside from an old maid and five apprentices, there’s no one else.

This Cheng Tianen seems to have no parents, wife, or children.”

Fang Zhixing understood.

Suddenly, Xigou said, “Aren’t you being too impatient, agreeing to learn martial arts from someone you’ve just met?

Do you think Cheng Tianen will sincerely teach you?

Will he share all his knowledge with you?

Do you know him at all?”

Fang Zhixing replied, “In the eyes of others, Cheng Tianen is a hero; he should have a good reputation.

Besides, he’s suffering from a serious illness and can’t even stand steadily, let alone cause trouble or make waves.”

Xigou bluntly said, “The human heart is inscrutable; we should still be cautious.”

In the afternoon, the teaching officially began.

After drinking a bowl of medicine, Cheng Tianen, with a mouth full of the taste of herbs, exhaled and said, “The ‘Iron Mountain Skill,’ the legacy martial arts of my Iron Mountain Sect, is a genuine fist and foot technique.

We don’t practice with weapons; we only train in fist and foot techniques.

It consists of many layers, but I’ve only learned the entry level and the first two layers.”

“The entry-level is suitable for young apprentices whose bodies have not fully developed.

They need to train and temper slowly.”

“The first layer corresponds to the Power Transmission Realm.

Its effect is to teach one how to manipulate Qi-Blood, thereby concentrating the entire body’s strength into one force.”

“The Second Layer corresponds to the Great Python Realm.”

Cheng Tianen looked at Fang Zhixing and said seriously, “You’re already at the Power Transmission Realm.

There’s no need for you to cultivate the entry level.

You can start directly from the First Layer.”

Fang Zhixing nodded.

Cheng Tianen explained earnestly, “This First Layer includes a set of incantations for moving Qi-Blood and basic moves.

I’ll pass on the incantation to you first.”

Fang Zhixing listened attentively, committing it to memory.

After listening, he immediately felt overwhelmed.

Cheng Tianen recited a long string of rhyming couplets “As light as supporting a willow, my body like the wind, an old ape strides over the sun to stroke my head” which made absolutely no sense to him.

Fang Zhixing couldn’t help but ask, “Is there a Technique Secret Manual?”

Cheng Tianen shook his head, “Can you read?

Even if I gave you the Secret Manual, you wouldn’t understand it.”

Fang Zhixing continued to ask, “Can you read?”

Cheng Tianen shook his head again, “I never learned.”

Fang Zhixing was momentarily speechless.

Yet, Cheng Tianen was unconcerned and said solemnly, “Martial Arts are passed down through oral instruction and example, not being able to read doesn’t matter.”

Fang Zhixing stayed silent, offering no rebuttal.

Then, Cheng Tianen stood up, took a deep breath, and assumed a stance.

“Watch carefully.

This is the foundational move of the ‘Iron Mountain Skill’.”

Cheng Tianen stripped off his clothes, revealing his frail body, raised his arms, and stepped into the Heavenly Gang position.

He had a bulge under the skin of his body, moving back and forth, traveling to every corner of his body.

It was as if there was a little mouse running beneath his skin.

“The purpose of practicing these moves is to help transport Qi-Blood, making it flow more rapidly and gather more easily in one place.”

Cheng Tianen practiced meticulously, move by move, extremely fluidly, from simple to complex, with the scope of the movements gradually increasing.

At first, it was just punches and kicks, but later there were mid-air flips and 720-degree turns among other difficult moves.

About seven or eight minutes later, Cheng Tianen finally finished and ended the routine.

Having gone on continuously for seven or eight minutes, it was evident that there were many and complex moves.

Fang Zhixing only remembered some of them.

But at this time, Cheng Tianen was panting like an ox, pale, sweating profusely, and collapsed into a chair, coughing nonstop as if he had lost half his life.

Fang Zhixing watched, a bit worried Cheng Tianen might abruptly kick the bucket.

Just at that moment, a flash of light appeared on his System Panel.

[Iron Mountain Skill First Layer: Fist and Foot Technique]

[Full Level Conditions:

“Here we go!”

Fang Zhixing’s spirits lifted.

Upon making contact with the specific content of the Martial Arts, the Full Level Cheats were activated.

This also indicated indirectly that Cheng Tianen had not used any tricks and had imparted real skills.

Fang Zhixing poured a bowl of hot water for Cheng Tianen.

After more than half an hour, Cheng Tianen finally recovered a bit.

Fang Zhixing asked him to repeat the incantation, while he himself picked up a twig and started writing on the ground, copying it down using Chinese characters.

Afterward, he read it silently several times, memorized it in his mind, and closed his eyes to recite it once.

[1.

Recite incantation once (Complete)]

“Hmm, easy peasy!” Fang Zhixing’s mood instantly became very cheerful.
