Chapter 182: Chapter 97: Twelve Forms of Form-Intention Fist! Strong Blood Pill!_3
Su Changkong had just advanced to the Qi-Blood Wolf Smoke realm and his odds of victory against his opponent were not high. He must devise a way to strengthen himself!
In the realm of Martial Arts, achieving the Qi Blood Four Transformation in a short time with three Strong Blood Pills is already the limit.
“Since that’s the case… I can start with Martial Arts Skills.”
Su Changkong thought to himself.
The existence of Martial Arts Skills is to make the strong stronger and enable the weak to defeat the strong!
Su Changkong’s Fist technique and Blade Technique had reached an extremely high level, allowing him to easily kill peers at the same Qi and Blood realm.
But as easy as it was to say, it was difficult to do. Su Changkong, although he practiced the Five Animal Frolics diligently, knew that to achieve a qualitative breakthrough at this stage wasn’t something that could be done overnight.
The Iron Cutting Blade Technique had just entered the Eighth Realm two months ago.
“I can take a look at other Martial Arts Secret Manuals for inspiration. Tomorrow morning, I’ll go check out the Ancient Scriptures of Martial Arts collected by the Sikong Family.”
Su Changkong also thought of checking other Martial Arts Secret Manuals. It wasn’t necessary to practice them all; as long as he read and studied more, increasing his understanding and knowledge of the Martial Arts, it wasn’t out of the question that he could gain insight by analogy and make progress!
The night passed without event, and Su Changkong spent it assimilating the Strong Blood Pill.
The next morning, Su Changkong dressed up and, under the guise of Li Tailai, sought out Sikong Huang to explain his request.
“You want to peruse the Martial Arts Secret Manuals? You can. Our Sikong Family has copies of all the secret manuals from the Xuanwu Pavilion of the Giant Whale Gang!”
Sikong Huang immediately agreed to Su Changkong’s request. They didn’t know when Meng Sang would make a move, so it was crucial to strengthen Su Changkong’s abilities as much as possible during this time!
Following Sikong Huang, Su Changkong arrived at a Book Collection Pavilion of the Sikong Family, which was heavily guarded at every level.
“So many Martial Arts Secret Manuals!”
Inside the Book Collection Pavilion, Su Changkong looked at the shelves and the Secret Manuals, unable to contain his admiration.
The Giant Whale Gang indeed lived up to its reputation as one of the major gangs in Ink Forest Prefecture City; the Martial Arts Secret Manuals within its collection numbered in the hundreds!
“There are over three hundred volumes here, including Palm techniques, Swordsmanship, Fist techniques, Inner Strength, Qinggong, and so on… You are free to browse through them.”
Sikong Huang introduced Su Changkong to the situation within the Book Collection Pavilion.
“Hmm.”
Su Changkong nodded, eager to start browsing.
Seeing this, Sikong Huang left the Pavilion to avoid disturbing him.
The Martial Arts Secret Manuals here were vast and comprehensive. In the Giant Whale Gang, disciples within the gang needed to achieve merits before they earned the privilege to choose and learn one or two Martial Arts Skills. However, now Su Changkong was allowed to browse at will!
“Inner Strength Mysterious Water Skill, the hard skill Golden Bell Cover, the Qinggong Mayfly Body Technique…”
There was a variety of Martial Arts Secret Manuals, and Su Changkong was dazzled by the options.
“I should look at Blade Techniques and Fist techniques first,” Su Changkong decided to start with what he was proficient in.
“Chasing Wind Twelve Blades, Flying Leaf Blade Technique, Unfeeling Tyrant Blade…”
The Blade Technique Secret Manuals were numerous, and Su Changkong flipped through them one by one. Many had valuable elements, and quite a few key points of these Blade Techniques resonated with the essence of Su Changkong’s Iron-Cutting Blade Technique!
After more than two hours, Su Changkong had reviewed over twenty Blade Technique Secret Manuals, then he started browsing through Fist technique Secret Manuals, of which there were also more than thirty.
“Grand Ancestor Long Fist, Subduing Tiger Fist, Savage Bull Mighty Fist…”
These Fist technique Secret Manuals also contained many exquisite styles. Mastered to an advanced level, each was enough to make a name for oneself in the martial world!
There is a hierarchy in Martial Arts, just as there is among those who practice them!
Saying Su Changkong’s Five Animals Health Preserving Fist was stronger than the Fist techniques of the Giant Whale Gang would be a joke; he had simply practiced it to a level far beyond the reach of outsiders.
“Hm? This Fist technique…”
As he continued browsing, Su Changkong’s gaze was captured by one particular Fist technique Secret Manual, which had “Form-Intention Fist” inscribed in large characters on the cover!
“Form-Intention Fist?”
Su Changkong had also heard of the great reputation of Form-Intention Fist.
Form-Intention Fist came in different styles and versions, also known as Heart-Intention Fist!
There were Form-Intention Fists that primarily used the five elements—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, known as the Five Elements Xing Yi Quan, and others that imitated various animals, quite profound in nature.
Therefore, Su Changkong took down this “Form-Intention Fist” Secret Manual from the shelf and started reading from the cover.
This reading made his eyes light up!
“The Twelve Form Fist, a Martial Arts Grandmaster imitated twelve different animals based on their characteristics to create these practical combat techniques. These twelve animals are the dragon form, tiger form, bear form, snake form, deer form, monkey form, horse form, chicken form, swallow form, alligator form, sparrowhawk form, and eagle form.”
As he browsed the introduction, the more Su Changkong read, the more delighted and excited he became!
Humans, known as the ‘spirit of all living beings,’ often find the wonders of nature elusive, particularly in terms of physical abilities, as many animals are superior to humans.
The agility of a cheetah, the flight capability of birds, the strength of a bear… all are inherently superior to humans. Practicing Martial Arts is about unlocking the body’s potential, surpassing one’s limits through postnatal training!
Many martial artists will look to animals for inspiration, draw strengths from them, and create Martial Arts Skills.
For instance, the Five Animal Frolics mimics the movements of the tiger, deer, bear, monkey, and bird to achieve health and longevity.
And this Form-Intention Fist in Su Changkong’s hands was also inspired by and created from the study of animals!
And unlike the Five Animal Frolics which are used for health preservation, Form-Intention Fist is intended for combat and fighting!
