110: Martial Arts and Demons

Chapter 110: Martial Dao and Demonic Beasts

It was after work hours. Bai Xuan opened his computer and began searching for information related to the Martial Dao, combining it with the memories in his mind to understand and deduce the Martial Dao of this world.

The Martial Dao path of this world begins with tempering the Physical Body, mastering power, and circulating Qi and blood.

After breaking the limits of the human body, Qi and blood will also undergo a transformation. Only then can one step into the first stage of the Martial Dao and become a true Martial Artist.

Creating a document, Bai Xuan began to summarize the Martial Dao of this world.

First Stage: Qi and Blood Realm. Core: Condensing Qi and blood, solidifying the Foundation.

Early Stage: Initially mobilizing Qi and blood, strengthening the Physical Body, gaining transcendent power. Fists and feet generate wind, capable of breaking bricks and shattering stones.

Middle Stage: Qi and blood flow like a stream, circulating orderly within the body, flushing Meridians, and refining internal organs. Strength, speed, and reaction are greatly enhanced, allowing for initial use of basic Martial Skills.

Late Stage: Qi and blood are like mercury, surging endlessly. Qi and blood can emanate from the body, forming a temporary Qi and blood Protective Aura or augmenting weapons, making them sharper and harder, possessing the physique of a “hundred-man enemy.”

Power Manifestation: Superhuman physical quality, prolonged endurance, accelerated wound healing, impervious to cold and heat.

Key to Advancement: Condensing and compressing Qi and blood to the extreme, reaching the Realm where Qi and blood are like wolf smoke, soaring into the sky, preparing for the Fusion of a “Concept.”

Second Stage: Concept Realm. Core: Contemplating and comprehending, imbuing Qi and blood with the power of a “Concept,” achieving the first qualitative change.

Process: Martial Artists must meditate deeply, comprehending a certain existing “Concept” in the world (such as: scorching heat, sharpness, heaviness, swiftness, toughness, lightning, ice, etc.), and integrate this Concept into their vast Qi and blood.

Result: Qi and blood sublimate, transforming into more Advanced “Concept True Qi” or “Attribute Protective Aura.” Its power and quality far surpass ordinary Qi and blood, and it inherently possesses special attributes.

Power Manifestation:

Scorching True Qi: Rolling heat waves with every strike, capable of melting metal and breaking iron, even igniting the opponent's Qi and blood.

Sharp Protective Aura: True Qi solidifies, indestructible, cutting metal and jade like tofu.

Lightning Protective Aura: Fierce and explosive, incomparably swift, with paralyzing and destructive properties.

Ice True Qi: Freezes all things, slows movements, freezes the circulation of Internal Energy.

Martial Artists in this Realm can release True Qi, harm others from a distance, condense Qi into a Protective Aura for defense, initially break free from the shackles of the earth, and glide short distances at low altitudes. Every move carries the might of heaven and earth, becoming a Grandmaster.

Key to Advancement: Comprehending the power of the “Concept” one has mastered to its extreme, understanding its operational Laws, and touching upon the deeper, fundamental “Laws” that constitute the world.

Third Stage: Law Realm. Core: From “using” to “mastering,” initially glimpsing and mastering one of the world's underlying structures.

Process: Based on their own “Concept,” Martial Artists must delve into heaven and earth, communicate with the Void Realm, capturing and understanding the ethereal yet real “Law threads” (such as: Law of Fire, Law of Metal, Law of Speed, Law of Strength, etc.).

Result: A complete Law fragment is integrated into one's body, and True Qi and Soul begin to bear the Law imprint. True Qi undergoes a qualitative change, transforming into purer “Law True Essence.”

Power Manifestation:

Attacks are no longer just energy impacts but carry “Law effects.”

For example:

Mastering the Law of Fire: The flames unleashed cannot be extinguished by ordinary water, can burn the Soul, and even ignite the opponent's True Qi/magic power.

Mastering the Law of Strength: A single punch is not merely powerful but contains Law effects such as “certain hit,” “shattering,” and “penetration.”

Can initially harness the power of homologous Laws between heaven and earth to assist in battle, with immense power. Can fly in the air for extended periods, regenerate severed limbs, and greatly increase Lifespan. Every move triggers celestial phenomena.

Key to Advancement: Not content with mastering a single Law, one must understand that Laws do not exist in isolation; they interact, constrain, and combine to form the “rules” of the world.

Fourth Stage: Rule Realm. Core: Coordinating Laws, establishing “rules” within one's Domain.

Process: Martial Artists, based on the core Laws they master, integrate other related Laws to form a self-contained System of “rules.” For example, with the “Law of Fire” as the core, integrating Laws such as “burning,” “destruction,” and “ascension” to form the rule of “consuming all things.”

Result: True Essence and Soul merge, undergoing a ultimate transformation, evolving into “Rule Power.” And able to form a unique “Domain” around oneself.

Power Manifestation:

Domain: Within your own Domain, you are the rule-maker. You can stipulate, “No flying here,” “The flames here shall not be extinguished,” “Within this Domain, my speed will always be a step faster than yours.” If an opponent cannot break it with a stronger rule, they can only be slaughtered.

Divine Power far surpasses True Essence, possessing Divine Abilities such as altering the environment, creating things from the Void Realm, and instantly traveling thousands of miles. The Physical Body and Soul are perfectly integrated, difficult to destroy, and Lifespan is almost infinite.

Begin to touch upon higher-level powers such as space-time.

Key to Advancement: Reflecting on “Why can I master rules? What is the essence that drives rules?” and finally realizing that the source of all power lies in the “Self's” will and cognition, requiring the condensation of unique “Divinity.”

Fifth Stage: Divinity Realm. Core: Condensing Divinity, the true self is unique, the origin of the Grand Dao.

Process: Martial Artists must thoroughly comprehend their original heart, firmly establish their “Dao,” condense all their lifelong Cultivation, understanding of rules, and Soul imprints, refining an indestructible “Divinity.”

Result: The life form completely transcends the human, transforming into a higher-dimensional existence. Rule Power integrates into Divinity, transforming into “Divinity Power.”

Power Manifestation:

Divinity is indestructible, self is indestructible: As long as Divinity is not erased, even if the Physical Body and Soul are completely destroyed, one can be Rebirth within the world's rules.

Words become Law: Every action contains supreme power, and words can modify the rules of local areas.

“It seems that the rules of this world are similar to the world I am in, also an existence similar to a parallel world.”

“Come to think of it, I am only a fifth-stage life form. Although I have the ability to traverse space-time and Transmigration to all the heavens and myriad worlds and the multi-Universe, I can only Transmigration to nearby worlds.”

“Nearby worlds are naturally worlds similar to parallel worlds. Even if the world rules of these parallel worlds are different, they are still similar.”

“It is precisely because of this that the Martial Dao of this world is very similar to my path of transcendence.”

“Breaking the limits of Mortals, mastering transcendent energy.”

“Then extracting Concepts from all phenomena, integrating them into transcendent energy, thereby gradually mastering Concepts, Laws, rules,”

“And finally Divinity, becoming a fifth-stage life form.”

“However, having said that, the transcendent Martial Dao of this world is, after all, systematic and structured.”

“In a sense, it has great reference value.”

“Moreover, the strongest individuals in this world are also exploring ways to become sixth-stage life forms, and they have already achieved some results.”

“These results are reflected in their Martial Dao Cultivation Techniques.”

“So, in my opinion, the Martial Dao of this world has very high reference value.”

“Perhaps it can help me become a sixth-stage life form.”

Thinking of this, a hint of anticipation also appeared in Bai Xuan's eyes.

Since it has value, let's start the deduction.

Starting the deduction from [Hua Long Fist] and [Zhan Mo Blade].

First is [Hua Long Fist]. [Hua Long Fist] is the basic Martial Dao Cultivation Technique of this world, and also a Foundation Establishment method. It can help Cultivators break through the limits of the human body, condense Qi and blood, step into the first stage, and become true Martial Artists.

This Cultivation Technique was jointly deduced and created by numerous fifth-stage Martial Gods, making it a perfect Martial Dao Foundation Establishment method, and naturally possessing considerable value.

First, the core idea of [Hua Long Fist] is that everyone is like a Dragon, and everyone can transform into a Dragon.

As long as [Hua Long Fist] is Cultivated to Perfection, one can transform into a true Dragon, break through the limits of the human body, and condense Qi and blood, with excellent results.

It sounds simple, but breaking the limits of the human body and condensing Qi and blood is not a simple matter.

To break the limits of the human body, one must first refine strength.

The so-called obvious strength, hidden strength, transforming strength, and elixir strength are all steps in exercising the human body and improving the Cultivator's control over the body's power.

Only when the Cultivator has trained the human body to a certain level, and their control over the body's power has reached a certain level,

Can they proceed to shape.

The so-called shaping is to train the body, to forge the form.

Skin, flesh, tendons, bones, and internal organs must all be trained to their limits.

And it cannot be done haphazardly; it must be systematic and progressive training.

Only in this way can the Mortal Physical Body be trained into a Dragon Transformation Body that reaches the theoretical limit of the human body.

Finally, by using the method of Qi and blood circulation, making the Qi and blood undergo nine transformations to achieve sublimation, one can break through the limits of the human body, condense true Martial Dao Qi and blood, and become a true first-stage Martial Artist.

“This [Hua Long Fist] is truly flawless.”

“The ancestors of this world are not simple.”

“However, in my opinion, this [Hua Long Fist] still has room for improvement.”

“After all, I am not a Mortal.”

“My main body is a fifth-stage life form. What is flawless in the eyes of Mortals is not flawless in the eyes of a fifth-stage life form.”

“Cognition determines definition.”

“In my opinion, [Hua Long Fist] can become even more perfect.”

“Dragon Transformation Body? Too weak!”

“It's better to refine it into a True Dragon Body!”

“Qi and blood like mercury is the limit?”

“A True Dragon Body can naturally nurture Qi and blood like a Dragon.”

“And I can also create a Qi and blood furnace with Qi and blood like the sun, based on the Dragon Qi and blood!”

Thinking of this, the optimization of [Hua Long Fist] was complete.

[You have optimized the skill “Hua Long Fist,” and the effect of “Hua Long Fist” has been greatly enhanced]

“Alright.”

“The optimization of [Hua Long Fist] is complete. Next, I only need to acquire enough resources, and I will be able to reshape my Physical Body and Qi and blood, thereby becoming even stronger.”

“Of course,”

“There's no rush to acquire resources.”

“Because I still have one skill that needs optimization, and that is [Zhan Mo Blade].”

[Zhan Mo Blade] is the basic Martial Skill of the Public Security Bureau, and also a second-stage Martial Skill. Cultivating [Zhan Mo Blade] to Perfection will naturally condense a [Slaying Demon] Concept.

The Concept Power named [Slaying Demon] is pure, overbearing, masculine, and swift, specifically countering Demonic Beasts.

“Hmm, although this blade technique is not as flawless as [Hua Long Fist], it is quite interesting.”

“The Killing Intent is very strong.”

“Since the Killing Intent is so strong, why don't I create a [Sha Lu Blade] that allows me to master the [Sha Lu Concept]?”

“After all,”

“Man-eating Demonic Beasts should be slaughtered by me!”

“Slay demons, slay devils, slay the abyss, slay all enemies!”

His eyes swept, and a figure suddenly appeared in his mind. The figure held a blade and began to deduce [Sha Lu Blade] based on [Zhan Mo Blade].

Sweep, chop, parry, slice, skim, endure, cut, thrust—first simplifying the complex, then simplifying the complex. Soon, the purest, most biting, and most Killing Intent-laden [Sha Lu Blade] was born.

[You have deduced “Sha Lu Blade” based on “Zhan Mo Blade”]

[You have mastered “Sha Lu Blade”]

[Sha Lu Blade LV1 → LV10 (Max Level)]

[You have mastered the “Sha Lu Concept”]

“Very good.”

“Next, I only need to acquire enough Cultivation resources, and I will be able to quickly reshape my Physical Body and Qi and blood, then integrate the [Sha Lu Concept] into it, thereby advancing to a second-stage Martial Artist and mastering Sha True Qi.”

“And for Public Security Bureau officers, the fastest way to acquire Cultivation resources is naturally to slay Demonic Beasts.”

With a thought, Bai Xuan felt a spatial fluctuation.

Demonic Beasts had come from the shallow abyss to reality through a spatial rift.

“This is the scent of dogs. And the smell of blood and decaying corpses—”

“Let's go.”

“Let me go see the Demonic Beasts of this world.”

Slaying Demonic Beasts is like slaying monsters.

As a “player,” Bai Xuan could naturally grow stronger quickly by slaying monsters.

Perhaps after slaying these two dog demons, Bai Xuan wouldn't even need to exchange merit for Cultivation resources to reshape his Physical Body and Qi and blood.

However, no matter what, the Public Security Bureau's merit is very valuable. It can not only be exchanged for Cultivation resources but also for various Martial Dao Cultivation Techniques, and even transcendent weapons and transcendent armor.

Transcendent weapons and transcendent armor forged from Demonic Beast corpses are quite powerful.

“Level one alert! Demonic Beasts have appeared! All citizens, please evacuate quickly!”

“Level one alert! Demonic Beasts have appeared! All citizens, please evacuate quickly!”

“Level one alert! Demonic Beasts have appeared! All citizens, please evacuate quickly!”

The alarms caused the public to quickly flee the street.

The Public Security Bureau officers were already rushing to the scene at the fastest speed.

As for Bai Xuan, he arrived at the scene one step ahead.

“Mom! Save me!! Save me!!!”

“Duoduo!! Duoduo!!!”

“Is there a Martial Artist? Someone, please save my son!”

Looking at the dog demon, which was two meters tall, covered in muscles, with shiny black fur, and blood-red fangs, the child shivered, crying loudly in extreme fear, constantly calling out for his mother, hoping she would come to save him.

As for the child's mother, although she also wanted to save her son, she was too scared, too terrified.

And she also knew that she alone could not resist the dog demon. Going to save her son would be going to her death.

She knew that only Martial Artists could resist Demonic Beasts.

But now, there seemed to be no Martial Artists around.

And her son was about to be eaten by the dog demon.
