All the heavens, starting with Little Li Flying Dagger

Chapter 179 The So-Called New School of Martial Arts

"The psychology of self-deception?"

"interesting.."

Some unknown location,

The old man was in a sealed space, surrounded by densely packed books.

On the table are the first issues of the Heavenly Secrets Gazette, up to the latest one.

Looking at the latest intelligence sent by the 'invisible man' in his hand, Wu Ming couldn't help but sigh.

"By applying the Mind Control Technique to oneself, one can actively control one's 'mental power' to become stronger, thereby elevating one's martial arts level in a short period of time."

"What a brilliant idea!"

The old man sighed deeply.

The more he studied the martial arts of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, the more he felt that Wang Gan was like someone from another world, and all the knowledge he transmitted seemed to belong to a different world!

"However, it is not without flaws. The fact that this mind-controlling technique can be applied to oneself is not something that ordinary people can do."

"It has to be someone like Ximen Chuixue, a born killer and swordsman, with an extremely strong will and character."

Wu Ming shook his head.

This method is of little reference value to him, because willpower and talent are unrelated. Even if the old man is exceptionally talented, in terms of willpower and spirit alone, he would hardly be able to compare with a pure swordsman.

"But this Nine Dragons External Alchemy Method..."

Wu Ming narrowed his eyes and slowly walked towards the next room.

Right next to this study was a much more spacious and fortified prison.

Bars of refined iron separated the room, and upon entering, one could smell a faint, fishy stench.

There were also groans rising and falling.

"what"

"I'm going to do nine more sets of tiger push-ups until I'm completely exhausted!"

"My kidneys! My liver! It hurts so much!"

"Stop hitting me! My Demon Orb! It's shrunk!"

Wu Ming sighed.

These were clearly the places where he tested his so-called 'Nine Dragons External Alchemy Method,' and these people were his test subjects.

After meeting Wang Gan, Wu Ming quickly realized that his martial arts skills had long since reached their limit, but he was still no match for Wang Gan.

If one wants to deal with Wang Gan, the martial arts of this world are almost impossible; one would have to resort to methods from beyond the heavens.

The miraculous martial arts transmitted from Tianji Tower are clearly techniques from beyond the heavens!
"This Nine Dragons Liquid is indeed miraculous. It seems to be based on pharmacology, but in fact it is not. It actually shares the same origin as the human body!"

A glint of light flashed in Wu Ming's eyes.

"By introducing a certain subtle substance into the human body, the effect of controlling muscle and bone growth can be achieved."

"It is truly miraculous."

"Unfortunately"

Wu Ming's eyes swept over the experimental subjects.
They may suffer from internal organ damage, be covered in pustules, or be irritable and in excruciating pain.

There are even those who lose their male ability and whose demonic organs shrink.

"The side effects are too severe. Ordinary people without internal strength simply cannot withstand such a large dose of the medicine."

"And the final outcome will depend on the unknown 'drug resistance'."

Wu Ming discovered that everyone's drug resistance is different, and the greater the drug resistance, the greater the power that the 'Nine Dragons Technique' can unleash.

"Drug resistance is also an unknown factor."

Wu Ming slowly walked towards the innermost room of the room.
The iron gate opened, and a tall figure raised his head.

"Are you here to give me another injection?"

Gong Jiu smiled, showing no sign of panic; on the contrary, he seemed somewhat expectant.
Unlike the other test subjects, Gong Jiu was not chained.

To be precise, Kudo Kankuro volunteered to become a test subject, all for the sake of having fun.

"Your drug resistance is quite good. After taking the drug, you should have no problem defeating Dugu Yihe."

"But it's still far inferior to Ximen Chuixue's spiritual victory technique."

Wu Ming shook his head.

"The human body has its limits under this method, but mental power can obviously transcend the limits of the human body."

Gong Jiu was somewhat disappointed.

"If he can't even beat Ximen Chuixue, I was hoping to take down Tianji Gongzi."

Gong Jiu and Wu Ming have now united on the same front, both aiming to defeat Wang Gan.

One was pursuing the so-called path to immortality, while the other was simply looking for fun.

Gong Jiu's talent was too high, and his background too privileged; it was destined from birth that nothing in this world could stimulate him.

So he sought thrills day and night, even resorting to self-harm, in order to find meaning in his existence.

"However, I have already made some breakthroughs."

"There will be some danger, are you willing to try?"

Wu Ming asked Gong Jiu for his opinion.

Gong Jiu's lips curled into a grin.

"Of course, I would be more than happy to."

Tianji Tower
"Are you going to fight Ximen Chuixue again?"

Lu Xiaofeng looked at Dugu Yihe in front of him.
At this time, Dugu Yihe had grown much larger than before, and his figure had even become somewhat bloated, with his head becoming increasingly bulging.

Combined with his still-aged face, it looked somewhat incongruous.

It's clear that he's gone overboard with his practice of the Nine Dragons External Elixir Technique these past few days.

"That's right. After Ximen Chuixue defeated Ye Gucheng and Yu Luosha, his momentum was at its peak. The final challenge is me, who has defeated him twice before."

Dugu Yihe sighed softly.
"If you defeat me again, I'm afraid you'll have to challenge Young Master Tianji."

Lu Xiaofeng looked Dugu Yihe up and down.
"But the current Ximen Chuixue, whether in swordsmanship or in his mental victory technique, has probably reached a terrifying level."

Are you sure you can do it?

Because Lu Xiaofeng did not practice these new martial arts styles, his version is somewhat outdated, but his eyesight is still sharp.

Ximen Chuixue's strength is now unfathomable; in his judgment, he is only below Wu Ming and Wang Gan.

If they could accumulate enough 'spiritual victory,' even the old man Wu Ming wouldn't be without a fighting chance.

Dugu Yihe shook his head.
"So what if I'm not confident? If he secretly follows me for ten or fifteen days and accumulates dozens of 'mental victories,' I'm afraid I'll be even less confident."

"It would be better to set a time and place for the duel and keep the variables in my own hands."

"Anyway, I've already made up my mind. A month before the duel, I'll go into seclusion and lock myself in the training room. I'll eat, drink, and relieve myself all in the training room, so that Ximen Chuixue won't have any chance to take advantage of me!"

Dugu Yihe gritted his teeth.
Lu Xiaofeng's lips twitched, and he quietly moved a few feet away from Dugu Yihe.

Eating, drinking, and relieving oneself all in one closed room for a month—wouldn't that cause something to ferment?!

Sure enough, those who practice these new martial arts styles tend to become increasingly abnormal.

The so-called new school of martial arts refers to the unique martial arts created after the Tianji Tower established its "college".

Each martial art is incredibly powerful, but they all seem to come with certain side effects.

Besides the Nine Dragons External Alchemy Technique, there are also two other top-tier new-style martial arts techniques: the Spiritual Victory Technique.
There is also the Thunder King Technique, which uses lightning strikes to stimulate the growth of the body and internal energy, but it is said that the process is extremely painful and few people can endure it.

For example, the Inner Strength Loan Technique allows you to borrow inner strength from others. After the others cultivate, you can get back a portion of the increased inner strength as interest. However, the inner strength obtained in this way is inevitably impure.

Moreover, if your fists aren't strong enough, it's easy for others to renege on your debts!
