A generation of soldiers begins with Feng Yuxiu traveling through time and space with Xu Sanduo

Chapter 329 The True Ape Strike Technique: One Hundred and Sixty-Two Apes

Feng Yuxiu stared at the image of him taking out the Ape Strike Technique for a long time.

During this period, this scroll had become a nightmare for him.

Wang Haisheng's movement technique completely shattered his worldview.

He was an extremely stubborn person. In order to practice the Subduing Demon Skill, he broke all ten of his fingers and compressed the tendons in his legs.

I endured all the pain and torment during that period, all so that I could become stronger and no longer be subject to anyone's gaze.

Now his mind was completely focused on Wang Haisheng's movements, and he even dreamed about Wang Haisheng's strange movements at night.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Platoon leader... are you there?" Wang Yanbing called out in a low voice from outside the door.

Feng Yuxiu put away the Ape Strike Technique, stood up, opened the door, but was stunned.

Wang Yanbing stood at the door with a fawning smile, carrying canned goods and fruit in his hands.

"What's going on?" Feng Yuxiu asked, puzzled.

Wang Yanbing smiled awkwardly, "Isn't it because you're back? I was planning to treat you to a welcome-back dinner, but I've only been in the army for a short time and I don't have much money for a big meal."

Feng Yuxiu stared at the large bag full of things. "You returned it."

Wang Yanbing was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "Platoon leader, this won't do. Even though you don't like it, it's still my way of showing my appreciation."

“You’re just a green recruit, how many allowances do you have? Quit them or I’ll break your legs.”

"Just say what you need to say. Don't bother with all this formalities anymore."

Wang Yanbing quickly shook his head, "I'm not here to give gifts or show affection, I'm just here to welcome you, Platoon Leader."

"Let's discuss it after we cancel the contract." Feng Yuxiu closed the door.

Wang Yanbing looked down at the items that cost several hundred yuan and said, "Then, Platoon Leader, I'll return them. I'll treat you to a big meal when I've saved up some money."

After saying that, Wang Yanbing turned and left.

Feng Yuxiu looked out the window. He had been there for almost a day, and Wang Yanbing was the only one who had come to see him.

This soldier... was an orphan, but he was grateful.

Feng Yuxiu took out the Ape Strike Technique again, held it up to the window to examine it through the light, and said, "Hmm?"

In a daze, he saw the words above begin to double.

Feng Yuxiu hurriedly put it down to take a look. The traditional Chinese characters on it were all normal, but when he looked at it in the sunlight, the characters began to appear double.

"Is it possible..."

Feng Yuxiu took a paper cutter out of the drawer, turned around and locked the dormitory door from the inside.

Lying on the ground, he slowly began to cut open the scroll's inner layers with a paper cutter.

He stared intently at the mezzanine, barely daring to breathe.

Sure enough, the interlayer was re-glued back together using modern glue.

“It’s not glue…” Feng Yuxiu licked his lips and closed his eyes. “Hmm, it’s paste. As expected, Wang Haisheng knew what was in it, which is why he hung it on the wall after seeing it. He thought no one would care if such a portrait was hung on the wall.”

"What is most visible is often the easiest to overlook."

"No, according to my memory... there should have been something inside that earthen bed."

Feng Yuxiu thought about it carefully, and he recalled that memory in his mind.

But when he discovered that the lower half of the Demon Subduing Technique had been torn off, he forgot about it.

This scroll, however, does not fit Wang Haisheng's character of indulging in drinking, gambling, and womanizing.

So, by sheer accident, they managed to collect the scroll.

If he hadn't seen Wang Haisheng's agility, he would have overlooked the scroll.

Feng Yuxiu cut very slowly and meticulously; the material sandwiched inside such a thin layer must be very thin as well.

Once it was accidentally torn, he would never know the reason for Wang Haisheng's movement technique again.

Half an hour later, looking at the three canvases in front of him that were as thin as cicada wings, Feng Yuxiu carefully stood up and closed the window.

He then walked up to the three scrolls, squatted down, and examined them carefully.

"What on earth... is this thing?"

The one on the far left is a diagram of the meridians of the human body, and the diagram is as detailed as the previous Demon Subduing Kung Fu.

With experience in the Subduing Demons Technique, one can practice it skillfully.

The second picture is a little different; it shows a scene of countless white apes.

Feng Yuxiu counted carefully and found a total of eighty-one monkeys constantly leaping and tumbling, moving from top to bottom in the trees.

At the very top of the scroll is a large sun rising slowly.

The last one is entirely brown; the double images I saw earlier when I looked at the sun were caused by this painting.

Above are eighty gray apes, each with eyes tinged red by vermilion ink.

The monkeys were fighting and devouring each other, creating chaos.

Feng Yuxiu saw a monkey eat off half of another head.

One person tore open the abdomen of another, pulling out their intestines.

"That's strange. Logically speaking, this is the Sun and Moon Ape Strike Technique. There are eighty-one Sun Apes, so why is one Moon Ape missing?"

Feng Yuxiu frowned, stood up, and began to back away.

"From a distance, they still look like eighty gray apes..."

The universe requires the harmony of Yin and Yang, and this is completely incomplete.

Feng Yuxiu didn't believe in such outrageous settings; Wang Haisheng's movement technique definitely couldn't be successfully refined by this thing.

There must be something else going on. A person split in two... the shadow disappeared, but the body remained... an afterimage...

The afterimage caused by excessive speed?
He needed to understand why. If it were true, and Wang Haisheng possessed such extreme speed, he could easily have killed himself with a kitchen knife.

At that extreme speed, he simply couldn't react.

No matter how powerful the human body is, it cannot break through the existing biological constraints.

Not entirely... Didn't he just take down the Sixth Company and the Blue Army's ambush squad?
Those are all veteran sergeants... Hmm, let me revise my previous thought: under certain reasonable circumstances, the human body can unleash unlimited potential.

Feng Yuxiu stood with his arms crossed, staring at the gray ape statue from all directions.

Eighty...

One is missing... According to common sense in martial arts, one is missing.

"Is it possible..."

Feng Yuxiu carefully picked up the paper-thin image of the monkey and held it up to the sun outside the window.

"No, it's still eighty..."

Over the next few hours, Feng Yuxiu focused intently on working through the first meridian diagram.

He discovered that Xu Sanduo's brain was truly remarkable, even possessing a photographic memory.

With so many intricate meridian pathways, it would take a normal person at least a month to complete the process.

He remembered almost everything in just a few hours, thanks in part to his deep familiarity with the pathways of the human body's meridians.

Just remember the key routes and distribution channels.

In the evening, the orderly knocked on the door.

"Platoon Leader Xu, the company commander wants you to have dinner."

Feng Yuxiu frowned as he stared at the painting on the ground. "I won't eat it. I'm not used to the water and soil, so I'll rest for a few days. Tell the company commander I need a few days off. I brought my food with me."

"Alright then, Platoon Leader Xu, please get some rest."

Feng Yuxiu watched until the first half of the night, and then turned off the lights after the lights-out signal sounded.

"I've memorized all the meridians, and about a third of the Sun Ape's combinations. But this Sun Ape..."

Feng Yuxiu felt a thorn in his side; if he didn't figure this out, he could easily go insane.

"It doesn't seem like it can be accomplished overnight."

Feng Yuxiu sighed and picked up the Moon Ape again to examine it, inadvertently pointing it at the window.

The moon is very far away and bright tonight; there is not much pollution in this era.

So the moonlight at night is the same as during the day, only with a cool tone.

People can be clearly seen from hundreds of meters away.

Aside from the color tone and the wide range of brightness, daytime and nighttime are exactly the same.

He saw a giant ape that occupied the entire scroll.

The ape's eyes were lifeless and insane, its face contorted and cruel, revealing two fangs that were tearing at the ground.

Eighty gray apes formed eighty different moves. The giant ape resembled a human body, and the eighty apes were the key nodes of the meridians within the human body.

"This thing... I don't understand it..."

Aside from the first and second images, the third one is completely incomprehensible.

But he was still very curious: would practicing this thing turn him into Wang Haisheng's bizarre movement technique?

For the next three days and three nights, Feng Yuxiu did not sleep and did not go out. Apart from eating the dry food he had brought, he desperately tried to fix the monkeys and tendons on the three paintings.

-

"Company Commander, Platoon Leader Xu hasn't come out for three days. Could something have happened to him?" Squad Leader Huang asked the company commander.

"Why did it take you so long to tell me? What are you good for? Come with me right now."

A large crowd surged to the entrance of Feng Yuxiu's dormitory.

"Platoon Leader Xu, are you alright?"

There was no movement inside.

"Company commander, force the door open."

"Get out of the way!"

The company commander kicked the door open, and a burnt smell immediately wafted out.

The crowd rushed in and saw Feng Yuxiu standing in the room with a porcelain basin for washing his feet at his feet, the contents of which had just been burned to ashes.

Feng Yuxiu turned around.

"Oh my god." Squad Leader Huang saw that Feng Yuxiu's face was pale and his eyelids were dark.

"It's nothing, I just had insomnia, I'll be fine after a nap. Is there anything I can help you with?" Feng Yuxiu asked calmly.

"Are you really alright?" Company Commander Peng leaned forward and asked solemnly.

"It's nothing, I was probably just having trouble adjusting to the new environment, I'm much better now."

"Okay, you go to sleep first. Be sure to tell me immediately if anything happens."

Feng Yuxiu nodded, "Yes."

After everyone left, Feng Yuxiu picked up the kettle and poured out the ashes. Only after realizing that there was no way to restore it did he feel relieved enough to open the window to let the air circulate.

"I've memorized everything in three days and three nights, seventy-two hours... Except for the last one which I don't understand, I'll slowly start trying the others... I don't believe that such a strange movement technique really exists."

Feng Yuxiu suddenly felt drowsy and his head started to ache. Once he relaxed, the drowsiness that had lasted for three days and three nights came over him like a tidal wave.

After gulping down several mouthfuls of water, Feng Yuxiu lay down on the bed and closed his eyes.
