Chapter 199 Breaking the shackles, the martial arts are not unique, and my way is not alone! (6k, monthly ticket and subscription required)
that's it.

Lu Chenzhou's life is filled with either enlightenment or practicing Qigong every day. Suffering and pain always surround Lu Chenzhou, tempering his body and honing his will.

There is no leisure except sleeping.

One day, Wu Zun came to visit.

He observed Lu Chenzhou's condition during the Tianzhuang class and it seemed not so good.

People need to have the courage to break their limits, but they also need to be able to relax and work in moderation.

Lu Chenzhou looked at the teacher who was carrying a bucket and a small stool at the door.

"Teacher, what can I do for you?"

Wu Zun said:
"After lunch, take half an hour and go fishing with me."

Lu Chenzhou looked a little strange.

"fishing?"

Wu Zun nodded:
"Yes, while we're fishing I can take some time to tell you about my martial arts insights along the way... It should be helpful for your next promotion to a martial artist."

Lu Chenzhou understood clearly.

Fishing is not the goal.

The teacher wanted to help me break through to become a martial artist.

By the way, let Lu Chenzhou learn to relax and calm his mind.

Just like that, two more air force guys appeared near Shihu Lake.

……

This day.

Qingtiancang family.

The weekly tea party was held as scheduled.

Shi Ruyu arrived in high spirits. When she entered, Ji Xuantong's eyes lit up with joy. He felt Shi Ruyu's aura and asked with a smile, "Ninth dan?"

Shi Ruyu nodded.

"We just broke through yesterday. It was not easy."

Ji Feiyan smiled and said:
"Dad, we, the true disciples, are almost catching up with you."

Ji Xuantong snorted and ignored the girl.

He said to Master Ruyu:

"Not bad. You have only been enlightened for more than three years, and you have already advanced from the sixth stage to the ninth stage. Although this progress is not enough to enter the genius class, it is better than the average aptitude."

Lu Chenzhou thought for a moment and said:

"It's indeed possible. Xiao He in our class has a superior physique... It took him almost three years to go from the sixth stage to the ninth stage. Senior sister, you are really not bad."

Shi Ruyu looked at Lu Chenzhou with a smile:
"Thank you for your comfort, Junior Brother."

Not long after.

The aunts had already prepared a table of sumptuous meals. Everyone was eating and chatting. They were talking about martial arts, virtual disasters and the like. As the head teacher of Wuda, Qing Tiancang had a lot of information, and he knew everything he could say. This was also the important significance of the sect, an internal information sharing channel.

As if remembering something, Qing Tiancang said to Lu Chenzhou:

"The school wants to organize a practical training at the end of the year, but you and Wang Hongdao are both in the critical period before becoming a martial artist. In order not to delay your time, I did not sign you up. Just focus on your training and don't think about anything else."

Lu Chenzhou asked:
"Teacher, this won't affect my rating, right?"

As far as he knows, practical training is compulsory.

Qingtian Cang said:

"It's okay. Martial arts talents above the special level are entitled to a certain amount of leave for practical training every year. Special circumstances require special treatment. The most urgent task is to break the shackles."

Ji Xuantong said with a little worry:

"Chen Zhou, don't put too much pressure on yourself. I feel like you've been too tense recently. Besides practicing, you should also relax and combine work and rest. Especially in the month before breaking free from the shackles, you must adjust your body and mind to the best state."

He was only worried that Lu Chenzhou would push him too hard.

Lu Chenzhou smiled and said:
"Teacher, I'm fine. I still have half an hour of recreational time every day. It just so happens that Teacher Wu plans to teach me fishing, saying that it can help me improve my mentality. If I'm too tired, I'll go fishing by the Stone Lake and read a book on boxing theory."

Qing Tiancang laughed loudly:
"Fishing? That's good."

Wu Zun is well-known for his love of fishing.

Ji Xuantong:
"I think it's okay. I'm just worried about your condition."

He was not worried that Lu Chenzhou would become obsessed with pleasure.

This kid is not that kind of person at all.

Qingtian Cang said:

"Chen Zhou, you are about to break free from the shackles. Today I will teach you some experience and precautions on how to break free from the shackles. Please take good notes."

Ji Xuantong's face lit up with joy, and he quickly said to Ji Feiyan and Shi Ruyu:
"You two are also lucky, so listen carefully!"

The experience and insights of those who have broken the three shackles are so precious.

……

November has arrived quietly.

The pet swallows followed the main group to the tropics to spend the winter in October. Villa No. 10 was deserted, and Lu Chenzhou, the swallow god, missed them a lot.

Past month.

Lu Chenzhou's Tianzhu practice lasted from morning to night.

After lunch, he would go fishing to relax.

He and Wu Zun agreed to have a fishing competition in a month.

Both of their records are exactly 0.

It was truly an aerial battle between two ace fighters, a head-on confrontation.

Wu Zun said that Shihu’s resources are too poor, and it’s not their fault.

Lu Chenzhou felt that... it made sense.

……

This day.

Quiet night.

Lu Chenzhou exhaled a breath of hot air and felt the changes in his hands.

"The 28th orifice is open, only the last 2 orifices are left."

After finishing his Tianzhuan practice, he picked up his phone.

Recently, there have been news reports of people going missing in Suzhou from time to time. Some of them were caused by virtual creatures, but some were caused by black warriors and cultists who took advantage of the situation.

"It's most likely that Tang Zhe..."

This man was so terrifying that the master was frightened into abandoning the martial arts gym and returning to school.

"You are really a monster, you are the one who makes me come on stage."

The outside world is changing rapidly, but in Longwu, Sucheng, the years are peaceful.

After resting, Lu Chenzhou went to Chen Jiu's house to practice fighting again.

Although he now teaches for free, he still has one class per day.

While teaching Lu Chenzhou.

Chen Jiu would occasionally reveal some of his progress in cultivation. Judging from his tone, he was not far from breaking the three shackles and would be promoted to professor soon.

The top professors at Wuhan University all need to be masters.

Chen Jiu is not very old, just over fifty years old.

With his qualifications, he has the hope of becoming a Grandmaster in the future.

night.

Lu Chenzhou lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

I finally fell asleep in the middle of the night, but was awakened by the pain in my body, because it seemed that billions of buds were sprouting and bone spurs were coming out inside my body.

A light black mysterious power continued to emerge from the acupoints. They strengthened the skull, hardened the scalp, flowed through Lu Chenzhou's tendons, veins and bones, and formed a light black film on the legs. The sheen flowed and condensed into nails. Not only that, the soles of the feet, palms, joints of the limbs, neck, buttocks... more black light continued to condense.

Lu Chenzhou looked at this scene with a look of joy.

"I thought it would take a few days, but I didn't expect it to change today."

He couldn't sleep, so he simply got up and practiced standing meditation, waiting for the changes to be completed.

Early in the morning.

As winter approaches, a drizzle begins to fall in Suzhou.

Lu Chenzhou did not sleep all night, observing the changes in his body in the mirror. As the last piece of green film turned into black light, a prompt sound came from his martial arts tree.

[Eighteen Arhats Golden Body Skill: Mastery (100%) → Minor Success (1%)]

"It took less than a year and it was already a small success."

Lu Chenzhou hit his body as if he was hitting an iron Buddha statue. The dull sound of metal and stone colliding was heard. He then tested the hardness as usual.

He finally discovered to his surprise...

The iron membrane of the minor-level Golden Body Technique was stronger than the copper membrane of the Arhat Technique, and not much worse than the gold membrane. The gold membrane on his upper body and arms became more and more dense, with a pure golden color flowing, and began to approach Chen Jiu's golden body.

"With the current defensive strength of my upper body, I should be able to withstand ordinary pistol bullets without protective clothing. It's like I'm wearing a layer of armor."

In modern society, the biggest threat to martial artists is hot weapons.

Feeling a little more comfortable, Lu Chenzhou took a nap.

After waking up, he found that Chen Jiu had left him another message.

【Chen Jiu: During the molting period, take a good rest and stop beating for a few days.】

【Lu Chenzhou: Teacher, I finished sloughing off my skin this morning.】

【Chen Jiu: ...Okay, let’s continue tomorrow.】

Chen Jiu no longer dared to casually predict how many years it would take for Lu Chenzhou to reach Consummation.

Don't be too confident, otherwise it will be embarrassing later.

……

In the blink of an eye.

It's January 1st again.

On the occasion of the New Year, the master, the grandmaster, two senior sisters, and everyone in the sect gathered in the small villa No. 32 to celebrate Lu Chenzhou’s 19th birthday.

Before leaving, Ji Xuantong asked:
"When you are free from the shackles, I will come to protect you."

There will soon be a true disciple of the martial artist, and Lao Ji is extremely excited. The last time he was so excited was when he broke free from his shackles and had a daughter.

Qingtian Cang said:

"I'll come take a look too, just in case."

The breakthrough of a martial arts genius is a big deal in any top martial arts school.

In the old days, there were some unruly sects who liked to stir up trouble when other geniuses were breaking through, causing them to fail in their breakthroughs, and thereby suppress their competitors. Now, the New Daxia has strictly prohibited this, and once discovered, they will be sentenced to death directly without any leniency.

But now, it is not a peaceful and prosperous era. It is possible that some cultists and black warriors will hide in the top martial arts universities and carry out suicide attacks by means of death squads.

We must also be cautious in school!
Lu Chenzhou said:

"Master, I have just opened 29 acupoints. I heard that the 30th acupoint is more difficult. If it is fast, it will be in early February. I will let you know when the time comes."

Ji Xuantong patted Lu Chenzhou on the shoulder.

"Okay then, relax. You are a martial arts genius. From ancient times to the present, I have never heard of a genius failing to break through, except for those who died prematurely due to external forces."

"I'm in good shape now."

You know what, I went fishing with Wu Zun for several months.

Lu Chenzhou felt that there had indeed been some transformation in his soul.

Becoming more ethereal, peaceful, calm and patient.

"Let's go. Don't worry about the sinking boat. Worry about yourself."

Qing Tiancang pulled his master away. Ji Feiyan clenched her fist and blinked:

"Junior brother, come on!"

Shi Ruyu also smiled slightly.

"Please show me the scenery behind that door first."

Lu Chenzhou opened his arms broadly and gently patted the two senior sisters on the back.

He said with unprecedented ambition and passion:
"Then I'll be waiting for the two senior sisters behind the door."

The 19-year-old Lu Chenzhou started his final sprint.

He has been looking forward to this day for more than ten years.

……

The opening of the 30th acupoint is indeed much more difficult than all the previous acupoints. As the "Zhongkui" who is in charge of the overall situation, it is indeed extraordinary.

Lu Chenzhou did not continue to extend the time for opening up the Heavenly Pillar, but let it go, and finally completed it in 40 days. This was the first time since he had the special effect of [Tiger Cave] that the time for opening up the acupoints exceeded 1 month.

Wu Zun told him that the difficulty of opening the 30th acupoint was close to that of a martial artist at the initial stage. Being able to open one acupoint every 40 days was very good.

By then, with the help of acupoint medicine, Lu Chenzhou will have the hope of achieving one acupoint per month. Of course, this is just an ideal state. After all, he still needs to practice real skills.

Lu Chenzhou is not worried about this.

When he has mastered the tiger-shaped divine seed once more, the special effects of the tiger cave can be improved. One orifice a month is not a big problem, and it can even be faster.

Of course, the prerequisite is to have money to ensure a constant supply of medicines.

This thing is ridiculously expensive.

After all 30 acupoints were opened, Lu Chenzhou took a short break, reviewed all the boxing techniques he had mastered, and realized the martial arts practice he had undergone over the years.

In order to break the shackles with a better mental state, at the suggestion of Chen Jiu, he temporarily stopped practicing the Golden Body Kung Fu, and spent every day practicing boxing and reading boxing theory books. From time to time, he would go fishing with Wu Zun, during which time he would reflect and summarize his practice process.

To use the words of Qingtiancang.

This is the "sedimentation" stage before becoming a martial artist.

There is no fixed time requirement for this stage. If every martial artist feels that he has accumulated enough experience, there will be a moment when he or she will suddenly have an epiphany. That moment is the best time to break through!
2 month 22 day.

It has been two years since Lu Chenzhou entered Sucheng Longwu. Qingtiancang, Ji Xuantong, Li Gui and Wu Zun, four seniors who are very important to him, have all come.

Li Gui asked:

"Are you ready?"

"Ah."

"Okay then. I'll wait at the door. Call me if you need anything. By the way, Hong Fu asked me to tell you... He has broken the second shackles and is waiting for you behind the second door."

"Hahaha, congratulations, Teacher Hong."

Except for the true master Ji Xuantong.

The other seniors had left the practice room and were chatting and waiting in the living room.

Not long after, another figure walked in. It was Wang Changming.

"headmaster."

Others stood up.

Wang Changming nodded slightly and went to the living room to glance at Lu Chenzhou.

He smiled and said:
"In good condition."

He was also worried, so he took one last look and then left.

The breakthrough of a genius has caught the attention of so many powerful people.

In the practice room.

Lu Chenzhou used the attention method to look at the 30 acupoints in his body.

A feeling similar to a sudden enlightenment came over me.

"Let's get started. The first step is acupoint resonance!"

In a flash, starting from [Zhongchong], one acupoint after another lit up like stars in the sky, connecting together and finally ending at the [Zhongkui] acupoint.

Then, all 30 acupoints began to buzz.

Lu Chenzhou looked at his right hand, his palm shaking uncontrollably.

Ji Xuantong looked at this scene in silence.

He has reminded me of everything that needs to be said, so I won’t bother you now.

His mission is to discover unexpected situations and save Lu Chenzhou.

Even if he failed to break one of the shackles, he would not die on the spot.

However, if the protection is not good enough, the acupoints may be broken and the cultivation may be damaged.

As far as he knew, the current pharmaceutical giant seemed to have developed a powerful drug that could protect the acupoints during a breakthrough. However, it was still in the experimental stage and could not be used in practice.

If it works, it can increase the success rate of breaking the shackles. At the same time, it can also reduce the loss of martial artists who fail to break through, giving them a chance to fight again. Not everyone can be taken care of by seniors like Lu Chenzhou.

Buzz!
Lu Chenzhou's right hand trembled faster and faster, his face turned purple and blue, and he felt as if thirty sharp swords were moving freely in his palm, destroying his body.

clap clap clap!
There were actually streaks of blood on Lu Chenzhou's palms. He was mentally prepared to break free from the shackles and rebuild his body.

Blood began to seep out, and in a blink of an eye, Lu Chenzhou's right hand was stained red. The membrane of the Golden Body Technique was torn, and blood dripped from his fingertips, and his ten fingers were connected to his heart.

This kind of pain made Lu Chenzhou's veins bulge. He roared in a low voice, always paying attention to his right hand and continuing to let the acupoints resonate. Maybe it was because of the horizontal training, but his blood loss was much less than that of others.

Not long after, the bloodstains scabbed over automatically.

At the same time, the sun in his crotch continued to emit endless dragon-like and tiger-like power, which increased Lu Chenzhou's endurance and made him full of energy.

To break free from the shackles, the most feared thing is distraction and mental burnout.

Finally, the resonance of 30 acupoints was completed.

Bridges were formed between them, transporting vast mysterious power to transform Lu Chenzhou's right hand. The remaining power was input into his limbs and bones. The "sand" collected by the Zhongzhu Point, the Yang Qi accumulated by the Yangchi Point, and the 30 different mysterious powers of the acupoints... were all integrated.

Hundreds of rivers from east to the sea!
All the strength gathered together and turned into a vast invisible and colorless river of qi and blood. In Ji Xuantong's perception, Lu Chenzhou's momentum was getting higher and higher, and his qi and blood were soaring almost visibly to the naked eye. This meant that he had initially broken the shackles of qi and blood, and the pool of qi and blood in his body was constantly expanding.

A quarter of an hour later, Lu Chenzhou's energy and blood were no less powerful than those of a novice martial artist, and his aura was even slightly stronger than that of a novice martial artist.

Ji Xuantong was overjoyed and thought to himself:

"You have such momentum when you just entered the martial arts family. Very good!"

This momentum is no worse than what he had in previous years.

It seems like this kid will break through level 2 before him.

Lu Chenzhou was fully focused and saw a vast amount of qi and blood rushing down and gathering in the qi sea. The golden tiger transformed from his innate strength was circling and flying, stirring up a vortex of stardust. The golden tiger was also nourished and began to visibly expand, becoming more and more majestic.

"My innate strength has also improved. The second step is complete."

The next step is the final step, to blow up the door!
Suddenly, Lu Chenzhou's mind seemed to have come to an endless wilderness. In the center of the wilderness stood a towering mountain that was as high as the clouds and had an invisible peak. He was like a lonely traveler, walking alone in the wilderness, and soon came to the foot of the mountain.

He looked around and saw dense footprints of people along the way.

Some are small, some are big, some are shallow, some are deep. Most of the footprints disappear after walking a certain distance... Only some firm, steady and persistent footprints come to the door step by step and stop here.

In front of me was a shabby maroon wooden door, showing signs of time. Its surface was covered with blood vessels and veins, like a door of flesh and blood, blocking the mountain road.

In a trance.

Lu Chenzhou saw thousands of determined figures whose faces he could not see clearly. With their tempered bodies and indestructible wills, they smashed the door and left with a loud laugh.

There seemed to be thousands of generous or carefree voices ringing in my ears.

“I have finally reached the innate realm, hahahaha!”

"What shackles? Nothing more than this!"

"The pinnacle of martial arts, wait for me!"

"Master, my disciple has achieved Xiantian!"

"Chief Tiger King Valley, I've been here!"

These sounds seemed to have really existed. They transcended the constraints of time and space, like the mark of the heart of heaven, like the bright moon in the sky, and have been echoing since ancient times. Lu Chenzhou listened carefully, and the indescribable power inspired his body, mind and will.

Dong...the bell of Mount Wutai rings.

Suddenly, a sound of great aspirations came:

"Li Lingkong wishes to be the image of the world, to uproot mountains and open up the sky!"

Lu Chenzhou's heart was shocked.

This voice seems to be that of Master Lingkong who entered Taoism and passed away.

Although the sages are dead, their wills live on.

Suddenly, on Mount Wudang, another heroic voice rang out: "You are still the star master from heaven, originally a martial arts immortal banished from the human world! Pursue martial arts in one lifetime, and become an immortal in ten thousand lifetimes!"

This is the first supreme voice of mankind.

A series of deafening voices were heard.

Until the dragon's roar broke through the clouds, and a domineering voice sang across the eastern sky:
"The way of martial arts is infinite, and I have no restrictions!"

Lu Chenzhou's eyes were excited and complicated.

"Sky Dragon King...I see."

Lu Chenzhou closed his eyes and gathered his energy.

"With all my practice and insights!"

"With my endless hard training and sweat!"

"With my unyielding spirit and will!"

"With my endless pursuit of martial arts!"

Behind Lu Chenzhou, a golden tiger appeared at some point. It looked at the door calmly and lowered its head. Lu Chenzhou rode on the tiger's back, and the tiger kept retreating, retreating... At a certain moment, it stopped and roared towards the sky.

"Roar!"

One star after another lights up in the wilderness, a total of 30 bright stars transform into a right hand that covers the sky and the sun. This is the power of the acupoints!

It is the infinite potential of human beings!

Human beings do not need to rely on external gods.

I am God, I am martial arts!

The giant tiger turned into a stream of light, and Lu Chenzhou stood on the tiger's back. He took a step back, exerting all his energy and punched like a gun, piercing through the past and present!
Under the wilderness sky, a giant black tiger descended from the sky.

It and the giant golden tiger became one.

Rumble!
Lu Chenzhou threw his strongest punch ever, and together with the giant tiger, he crashed into the flesh and blood door, and then... smashed it to pieces with overwhelming force!

No stagnation at all!

There is no difficulty at all!

It just happened naturally and naturally!

Lu Chenzhou turned around and looked back, he looked at the wilderness outside the mountain, he seemed to see countless martial arts masters cutting through thorns and blazing new trails.

They may envy, sigh, or be unwilling...

They have long disappeared in the long river of time.

But their martial arts will will never disappear.

Their descendants, like Yugong moving the mountain, will use their seemingly weak human bodies to move forward little by little... and eventually break the door to eternity! It is their footprints that form the martial arts path for future generations to move forward!

A symphony of thousands of sounds.

Lu Chenzhou suddenly realized and laughed out loud towards the sky.

He followed the example of his predecessors and also issued his own strongest voice in martial arts: "Heaven and earth are my teachers, mountains and rivers are my friends, the sun and the moon are my companions... The martial arts are not unique, and my way is not alone!"

[1.4 words, please give me your monthly vote.]

The last sentence seems to have originally come from "The Analects of Confucius", but Lao Tian modified it based on the words in "Swallowed Starry Sky", the first online novel I read. By the way, it seems that Tomato is also reading this book, and he has also read the previous book "The Wizard".

(I remembered it wrongly. My memory was mixed up from more than a decade ago. After being reminded by a reader, this sentence is from Stellar Transformation… Anyway, I like them all and that’s it.)
Every time I think of this, I get a little excited. (*^▽^*)】
