Starting with Kengan beating up the Pirate King

Chapter 77 The Non-existent Joint
Kengoku World, continuing from where we left off.

After 17 days of arduous training, Guan Yi finally mastered the technique of completely integrating the bones and joints of his arm into one, enabling him to deliver punches with far greater power than before. Guo Haihuang said that he could now follow him to begin the next stage of his training.

"You can probably guess the next training goal. After finding the bones, joints, and muscles in your arms, what you need to do is extend this control to your whole body, to every part of it."

Sitting in his wheelchair, Guo Haihuang said with a smile, "This will be an even more arduous process. If we get stuck at a certain point, this old man won't have a better solution. Perhaps I'll have to break your bones so that you can feel the movement of your bones more precisely during the bone setting process."

"Well, are you ready?"

When this old rascal speaks, it's hard to tell whether he's being sincere or lying.

He simply closed his eyes and spent a few seconds adjusting to the physical differences between the One Piece world and the Kengan world.

"Ready."

Snapped--!
He suddenly threw a punch!
This punch completely penetrated every joint and muscle in his arm, unleashing his full power. Just like the demonstration punch Guo Haihuang had thrown before, it created a slight sonic boom, even exceeding the ability of the naked eye to perceive it!
The white hair on Guo Haihuang's forehead was blown up by the force of the punch, and then he opened his eyes slightly.

what?
what happened?

He's got it?!
In Guo Haihuang's eyes, Guan Yi was clearly a novice who had just mastered the art of force dissipation a second ago. His punches, delivered with all his might, could only penetrate half of the joints in his arms. But now, his punches were as skillful as if he had been practicing for months.

He had no idea that Guan Yi was using an elementalized, stronger body in the One Piece world to deconstruct and refine energy dissipation. He felt that he had lived for 149 years in vain and had never seen anything so outrageous!
Sudden enlightenment? Enlightenment?
Guo Haihuang's eyelids twitched, and he turned around in his wheelchair, saying in a calm tone, "Not bad, very good, keep up the good work."

Wen Yun Shen stepped forward and pushed his wheelchair. Guan Yi was learning something that even he, as his master, couldn't keep up with at all, but he still had the ability to see Guan Yi's learning progress.

He smiled and said, "Sea Emperor, my last disciple has quite a bit of talent, doesn't he?"

Guo Haihuang glanced at him and chuckled.

“Yun Shen, you’ve been staying at my house for 17 days, it’s time for you to go back. Take Feng Chen with you too, he can’t even get in the door.”

“Ahem, Sea Emperor.” Wen Yun Shen’s smugness vanished. “Give the young man another chance.”

Guo Haihuang shook his head, secretly relieved. A genius? Good lad, I'll see what other surprises you can bring me.

Over the next three days, Guo Haihuang even felt a little frightened.

Quickly adapting to the physical differences, he was able to use the technique of dissipating power in the One Piece world, and after spending three days in the Kengan world, he also mastered the technique of dissipating power!
Although there are always stronger opponents, Yujiro Hanma only needed a few minutes to learn how to neutralize his power in their short fight. However, beneath Yujiro Hanma's monstrous physique lies a hidden mastery of top-tier martial arts techniques, which are only concealed by his dazzling physical strength.

Furthermore, it's hard to say that Yujiro Hanma hadn't encountered energy dissipation during his previous training.

But what about the child?
Guo Haihuang is certain that Guan Yi, who acted 20 days ago, had absolutely no foundation in terms of power consumption!
A 17-day learning pace is already the fastest progress he has made among the young people he has taught, but to master energy elimination in 20 days is simply like a monster!

After scrutinizing Guan Yi from head to toe for a long time, Guo Haihuang finally smiled and said, "Very good. Perhaps you really have a chance to defeat that monster. Alright, now that you have mastered the art of dissipating energy, we can move on to the next stage of your cultivation."

[The second interaction with local celebrities has ended. You can spend 50000 Life Points to unlock the third interaction with local celebrities.]

[Peak of Skill Climbing Index: 40%]

[Gain skill bonus: 40%]

[Life Points: 58594]

Guan Yi knew that if things continued at the normal pace, it would take him more than half a month, or even a month or two, to complete this training.

But who told him to secretly train in the world of One Piece?

As if skipping a cutscene, the effect of 50000 life points only lasted for three days. Guan Yi's martial arts skills did not improve at all, but the consumption of life points was still meaningful. The percentage bonus to skills given by the plan allowed his martial arts skills to climb to another level!
At the same time, the three types of Haki and the Six Powers techniques in the One Piece world have also made leaps and bounds!

Keep going, another 50000 lives!

Guan Yi renewed the subscription directly. As a result, Guo Haihuang's movements became smoother. He took out a raw egg with a thin string attached from his pocket and handed it to Guan Yi.

"Here, carry it."

Guan Yi was taken aback and held the eggs up in front of her.

bang——

Another soft sonic boom followed.

From Wen Yunshen and his senior brother's perspective, Guo Haihuang seemed not to have moved at all, but Guan Yi could see that he had already completed the actions of raising his arm, slashing out with his hand, and then lowering his arm.

Compared to his own bones and joints, which require him to accumulate strength and work diligently to connect them, Guo Haihuang, who has practiced martial arts for over 140 years, moves with ease and has reached a state of perfect energy dissipation.

Moreover, this chop to the neck seemed to contain something that Guan Yi didn't understand.

*Snap*—Two seconds later, the bottom half of the egg cracked open. As if sliced ​​by an incredibly sharp knife, Guo Haihuang's hand had slashed the fragile raw egg with a clean cut!

This defies common sense, as the shape of a human hand differs greatly from that of a knife. Even the most skilled martial artist has never been known to sever an opponent's neck with their bare hands, yet Guo Haihuang's strike demonstrates that a hand-blade decapitation can indeed become a reality!
"Oh no, we can't waste it."

Guo Haihuang hurriedly reached out and caught the falling egg yolk and egg white, sucking them into his mouth without any disgust, mumbling indistinctly.

"do you understand?"

Guan Yi shook her head: "A little bit."

Guo Haihuang chuckled: "The potential of the human body is limitless. Your Xingyiquan has twelve forms created by imitating animals, which simulate the strength of animals to train yourself and increase your various abilities."

The technique I just used is probably more advanced than your twelve-form method.

Not simulation, but imagination! Beyond the bones and joints you already know, imagine more bones and joints, and use them!

This sounds very abstract.

The structure of the human body is clearly printed on the diagram on the wall, and it cannot be sculpted at will. There is no supernatural power in this world, so how can one build more joints for oneself based solely on imagination?
But Guan Yi quickly came up with some ideas.

Just like in the fight between Guo Haihuang and Hanma Yujiro in Baki, in order to neutralize Hanma Yujiro's hook punch, Guo Haihuang voluntarily dislocated his jaw joint.

The detached joints and sunken bones, aren't they combined to form a shape different from the normal joint structure? The hand knife just now was the same. At the moment of penetrating the bone joints, Guo Haihuang changed the structure of his hand knife by grinding the bones and joints in many places, truly transforming it into a blade that can cut a raw egg!
'Besides his talent, this kid also possesses extremely high comprehension.' Looking at Guan Yi's thoughtful expression, Guo Haihuang sighed inwardly. The students he had taught before were all geniuses, but seeing Guan Yi was probably like an ordinary person seeing a genius.

"It seems you understand. This step is a bit more difficult than before. You need to learn more about the principles of martial arts and comprehend more about the human body. My study contains the martial arts manuals I've collected over the years. You can look at them freely, and if you don't understand anything, just come and ask me."

"Thank you for your guidance, Sea Emperor."

Guo Haihuang nodded with a smile. This was a unique technique he developed while practicing energy dissipation, and it was the foundation for mastering stronger applications of energy dissipation and attacking energy dissipation!

If you can master this in three days, then my 140 years of cultivation must have been quite absurd.

Guo Haihuang estimated that with Guan Yi's talent, it wouldn't take too long. He could probably get the basics down in two months and become proficient in half a year.
But three months have passed.

Half a year has passed.

A year has passed!

The eldest brother had already connected the bones and joints in his arm and completed the first step of cultivation, but Guan Yi had not given any further feedback—was he stuck?
