Devouring Evil Martial Arts, Eliminating Demons from All Heavens

Chapter 144 Its Power is Like an Umbrella
It has been two and a half days since it snowed.

According to the weather forecast, the next few days will also be sunny.

The ice and snow on the small river near the martial arts school were the first to thaw. Many holes of varying sizes appeared on the ice surface, and the remaining ice layer was very thin, allowing you to see the clear water underneath.

Chu Tianshu was talking to his second grandfather in the laboratory corridor.

If the pharmacy is to be located in the future, it definitely won't be in Macau; it will have to be near my hometown.

Besides Yin Fengxin, we still need to recruit more people.

This matter has not yet been officially put on the agenda, but we can let Second Grandfather inquire and make preparations locally first.

After hanging up the phone, Chu Tianshu turned and walked into the classroom in the laboratory building.

The classroom contained only Qi Lianyong, Yuan Zhonglu, and a few graduates from the martial arts school who had not yet officially reported to their workplaces.

But the focus in the classroom wasn't these people, but the white-browed cat.

The cat has shaved fur on some parts of its four paws, exposing the skin.

When he transforms into human form, those parts look exactly like his wrists and ankles.

White Eyebrows was sitting on a small chair, next to a set of old electrical training equipment.

The girl with short hair helped by attaching the round piece at the end of the wire to the shaved area.

"Teacher Xiaobai, do you really want to practice like this?"

The short-haired girl muttered, "It feels so strange to stick these electric discs on a cat, like they're preparing to abuse it."

The white-browed cat swayed its tail behind it, looking expectant.

Yuan Zhonglu, with a bandage wrapped around his forehead, chuckled and said, "Don't underestimate Teacher Xiaobai."

"That night, Teacher Xiaobai and I worked together. There were several evil spirits, but Teacher Xiaobai was the first to find their location."

Cats are naturally more sensitive to evil spirits and yin energy.

White-browed Cat, being exceptionally intelligent and skilled in martial arts, was like a tiger descending from the mountain that night, attacking in all directions.

In several places, residents saw cracks in their windows, strange handprints, and soft wailing sounds.

A cat that knows how to box pounced and chased away the strange noise.

Lately, the enthusiasm for the Golden Knife Martial Arts School in Guangling has reached unprecedented heights. Many people often gather outside the school to inquire about news and have also learned about the anecdotes of the white-browed cat as a teacher.

Some people, figuring it was difficult to get through to the faculty and staff, actually bought cat food and grilled fish, gathered outside the school, and prepared to bribe this magical cat.

"Let's start in first gear, and I'll show you the ropes."

Chu Tianshu stretched out his finger and pressed it on Bai Mei's chest, then suddenly said, "By the way, you're becoming more and more like a human. You should wear some clothes from now on."

Yuan Zhonglu said, "The principal made clothes for him before, but he didn't like wearing them. Maybe it's because the cat fur is thick and it would be too hot to wear?"

"With more practice, he should be immune to both heat and cold. We can make some simple vests for him to wear in both positions."

Chu Tianshu exerted a slight force with his fingertips, and the device was switched to the highest setting.

His white eyebrows immediately stood up fluffy.

As Chu Tianshu exerted his strength, the long hairs swayed like waves, creating a rather comical sight.

Bai Mei tilted his head slightly and let out a low, long "oh" sound from his throat.

"Hey! Am I giving you a massage?"

Chu Tianshu stopped, pointed at the kitten's nose, and said, "You do it yourself, and be serious."

“I’m leaving in a few days. If you can’t get used to the feeling of using electricity to practice your strength in these few days, then you’ll have to go back to how things were before.”

"I felt myself getting very old, increasingly weak, walking unsteadily, pitiful. When I went to the river to catch small fish, I just fell right into the water..."

Bai Mei trembled slightly, his mouth tightly shut, revealing a resolute expression.

Work hard!
Upon seeing this, Qi Lianyong burst into laughter.

Chu Tianshu turned his head to look.

Qi Lianyong quickly replied, "I have been practicing diligently, but I need to balance work and rest and not just push myself too hard."

Chu Tianshu was taken aback: "Master Qi, I didn't mean to supervise your practice."

You're the master, after all.

The people next to him then wore expressions that suggested they were about to laugh.

Qi Lianyong coughed twice, wondering why he had blurted out those words.

"I want to say..."

Chu Tianshu chuckled, "Master Qi, you are quite proficient in the art of stretching and contracting muscles and bones. You can watch Bai Mei practice more in the future."

"Based on my current assessment, he is using bone-shrinking techniques to maintain a human form for more effective training. However, once he becomes stronger, there may be a phase where he will need to revert to a cat form to train."

"Could you take a look and see when he reaches that stage? If he doesn't realize it himself, you can give him a hint."

Qi Lianyong immediately replied, "Don't worry, I've got it covered."

Chu Tianshu observed Bai Mei for a while longer, nodded slightly, and turned to leave.

Instead of crossing the small bridge back to the principal's quiet room, he went to the large playground.

Recently, he has been studying the various physical functions of the God of the Kitchen, and it is inevitable that he will exert his strength.

But once he reaches this level, he will exude a strong pressure when he vigorously circulates his qi and blood.

It caused panic and depression among the people, livestock, and insects in the vicinity.

This is different from the effect of simple telekinetic magic. Telekinetic magic is countered by yang energy. If you want to interfere with so many people at once, you have to bear the burden and backlash.

Chu Tianshu's oppressive aura seemed to be a natural, accompanying power.

He himself did not feel much additional strain.

Even if a group of experts withstand his pressure, he will not feel that his magic has been broken and can continue to fight as usual.

No wonder, in the ancient world of the Republic of China, this level of skill was known as "martial arts can create gods".

On ancient battlefields, those who had reached this level of skill could cause chaos and disarray within a radius of dozens of meters as soon as they charged into battle, leaving people dizzy, weak, and unable to control themselves.

Once this person has charged across the entire battlefield, it will be a devastating blow to the enemy's morale.

If this man had a group of elite soldiers under his command, they could have charged forward while the enemy had already gone far away and had not yet recovered.

That would guarantee victory in every battle.

Chu Tianshu practiced her skills in the quiet room, which affected the injured people in the nearby buildings.

Coming here to the main playground will have a much smaller impact.

Standing on the sandpit, where he had melted away large areas of snow in the past few days, revealing its true form.

Chu Tianshu stood with his feet shoulder-width apart, his hands raised and pressed gently, and slowly closed his eyes. The heavy, distant sound of drums resonated slowly within his body.

The blood and qi that were originally uniform throughout his body, which he simply felt as "hot," now seemed to have various distinctions in his perception, such as sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, salty, old, tender, crisp, and chewy.

He harmonized these physical sensations, adding a touch of maturity to the acidic and the fragile to the brittle.

Humans can experience a hundred flavors when they eat, but in self-cultivation, one should seek a tasteless existence.

The Kitchen God, with his skillful cooking, manages to satisfy even the most tasteless cravings.

The Vajra Samadhi allows all kinds of impurities to settle and settle.

The tasteless blood and qi gradually rise to the brain.

The subtle sensations in the brain, all in this harmonious and brewing process, become strong, long-lasting, stable, and comfortable.

The pressure also unfolds here.

As everyone knows these past few days, it's not easy to get close to Chu Tianshu when he's practicing.

But some people deliberately choose this time to approach.

Uncle Nan and several other wounded, along with a group of martial arts school students, rushed over at this moment.

They had an unspoken understanding and didn't speak. They simply took steps, and when their legs felt too weak, they stopped, barely controlling their breathing as they continued to practice their boxing.

He can usually execute a punch in ten seconds, a powerful and dynamic style.

Here, after only a few punches, I couldn't help but lose my form and had to start all over again.

Feng Jianhua also arrived at the playground and watched this scene.

No matter how many times he experienced it, this kind of pressure still amazed him.

Chu Tianshu's imposing aura is actually quite similar to that of a martial artist.

A martial artist's aura doesn't require much self-inflicted depletion.

Even when Hai Donglai was seriously injured, he could still unleash a killing aura as powerful as when he was at his peak.

It's more like the pressure created by a combination of life experiences, environmental dynamics, and other subtle omens.

However, precisely because it is only a catalyst, while its energy consumption is low, its momentum can easily dissipate due to external changes.

Unless one is in a special feng shui situation, or makes minor adjustments and repeatedly raises their energy level, it can not be maintained for a longer period of time.

However, if you encounter a strong enemy, you can easily get mixed in with their momentum, making it chaotic and unable to target too many people.

For all martial artists, the forces of friend and foe are like water mist; when they meet and touch, they naturally merge together.

Chu Tianshu's imposing aura was like a large umbrella, a magnificent canopy.

Once it's erected, the canopy's shadow will naturally cover this area.

Even if the mere rising mist makes one more conspicuous, it cannot pollute this canopy.

This is a qualitative difference.

Chu Tianshu stood there seemingly oblivious to the passage of time, but in reality, he was extremely focused on himself and didn't care about the time passing.

By dusk, those boxing around him had long since given up and even after two shifts, they were all exhausted and went back to rest.

Chu Tianshu slowly opened his eyes, and the golden sunlight reflected on his eyelashes, gradually rising out of his field of vision.

Aside from the sunset, a variety of other sights came into view.

Hearing footsteps approaching behind him, he suddenly felt playful and took two steps forward.

With one step, the ground shook like a drum, and water droplets shot into the air.

With a swift movement, the dew was completely covered.

Chu Tianshu turned around, his clothes fluttering in the wind, and between his palms was a ball of water the size of a fist.

Feng Jianhua stopped ten meters away and looked over with a smile.

He didn't know if Chu Tianshu had been practicing internal energy these days, but he could tell that this move didn't use internal force.

It's already quite remarkable that you can use your strength to gather the water in your hands into a ball.

Is it possible to launch this water balloon more than ten meters away?
Chu Tianshu's eyes lit up, but he didn't try to shorten the distance; in fact, he even slowly moved his left hand away.

With just a slight, afterimage-like sway of his right hand, the crystal-clear water ball was held in his palm, neither scattering nor falling.

Chu Tianshu flicked his hand, and the water sphere shot through the air.

Feng Jianhua looked surprised and raised his hand to block.

Snapped!
The water sphere was on the verge of collapse, but the moment his palm touched it, it shattered into a puddle of water that splashed in all directions.

Although the water balloon had lost much of its momentum, it still flew more than ten meters.

Chu Tianshu was satisfied and slowly exhaled. He had already thoroughly sensed all the bodily functions that Wu Zao Shen could perceive.

"Even if I use internal force to strike someone, the effect will be reduced by nearly half if the palm strike travels more than ten meters away. The farther it travels, the faster it dissipates."

Feng Jianhua said, "You used your physical strength to control a water ball, and it actually flew over ten meters before dissipating?"

Yes.

Now I can start practicing my internal energy cultivation.

Chu Tianshu thought this to himself, but said aloud, "These days, I have been pondering the Yellow Sprout True Qi, and using the descriptions of internal cultivation to verify the strengths and weaknesses of the physical body. I have quite a few ideas."

"The key is that the problem of the missing parts of the Hate Heaven Skill has sparked some inspiration."

He chatted with Feng Jianhua under the setting sun.

Feng Jianhua had initially intended to answer his questions, but the more he listened, the more his brows furrowed.

After hesitating several times, the old principal's expression changed from doubt to astonishment and contemplation.

"This can actually work..."

Feng Jianhua fell into deep thought, unconsciously muttering the incantation to himself. It wasn't until much later that he came to his senses, his face filled with realization.

“If we start from this direction and refine it, it seems to be feasible.”

The old man stared blankly at Chu Tianshu, then suddenly said, "My benefactor."

Chu Tianshu quickly said, "There's no need to call me that."

"Ha ha!"

Feng Jianhua laughed loudly, "Whether you allow it or not, we don't need to call him 'benefactor' to some guy who's obsessed with magic all day long."

"Hahaha!"

Under the setting sun, the old man laughed heartily, washing away the gloomy atmosphere.
