Douluo Continent: All I Do Is Destroy Rings is Skill.

Chapter 167 External Training: Six Attacks, Internal Training: Six Defenses

Afterwards, Ning Wuque followed Long Aotian and Huo Yuhao to the Body Sect's Battle Skill Pavilion to select and learn Body Combat Skills.

Contrary to Ning Wuque's expectations, the Body Sect's combat techniques are actually not numerous or varied. All in all, there are only 240 types. Excluding those self-created combat techniques, there are only 12 volumes of commonly used combat techniques!

"You're confused, aren't you? Combat techniques are actually just a way to leverage our own strengths. The truly powerful combat techniques are always the fighting methods that are best suited to us."

Seeing Ning Wuque's confusion, Long Aotian explained, "You don't know this, but apart from these twelve volumes of basic combat techniques, all the remaining combat techniques here were created by our sect's Super Douluo elders."

Only when the martial soul parts match can one attempt to cultivate. It is guaranteed that the power of any combat skill depends only on our physical strength and proficiency.

I highly recommend that you first master these twelve basic techniques, and then forge your own path, integrating and understanding them to discover the combat skills that best suit you!

"I see. Then I'll leave the rest of the time to Brother Aotian!"

Ning Wuque nodded to show he understood, first asking for help before picking up the twelve volumes of basic combat techniques to study them.

These twelve volumes of combat techniques contain little content. They correspond to the six offensive parts of the human body and the six internal defensive levels, essentially forming a complete set of techniques that allow the body to be transformed into weapons and armor.

Amazing! At least that's how Ning Wuque sees it. Once you master these twelve basic combat skills, you'll be practically invincible in close combat at the same level. Even against super-powerful martial souls like the Light or Dark Sacred Dragon, you'll still have a fighting chance!

They correspond to the six external attack techniques:

Hands, forearms, elbows, feet, calves, and knees.

And the corresponding internal cultivation of the Six Imperial Guards:

Skin, muscles, blood vessels, meridians, internal organs, and bones.

Basically, as long as you can master six of these twelve combat techniques, you can try to create your own unique combat techniques. It is extremely difficult to master them all.

According to Long Aotian himself, even his master, Du Busi, only mastered six of them, and the remaining six were only at a high level.

Even so, he was already able to integrate it into his understanding of martial spirits, creating a hundred-foot-tall martial spirit true body as a killing machine, and using the martial spirit true body to unleash his unique combat skills!

If he were to awaken a second time, even a Limit Douluo might not be able to defeat him in a head-on confrontation.

If he can master the remaining six skills, then breaking through the limit under the Perfect Self-Identity will only be a matter of time.

"It's just too difficult. I've been practicing these six combat skills for over ten years, and my progress ranks fifth in the entire history of the Body Sect. Yet, I'm only proficient in six, minor proficient in three, and major proficient in three. I haven't mastered any of them."

Long Aotian sighed. Basic combat skills were, in some ways, the hardest to learn because they tested the body's foundation. They couldn't be honed simply by using techniques; if your body wasn't strong enough, you couldn't even learn them.

For example, in the six levels of internal cultivation, one must at least reach the third ring level in terms of meridians before one can begin cultivation. The five internal organs and bones correspond to the fifth and seventh rings, respectively, and one must first be proficient in the previous cultivations before attempting them, otherwise one may very well ruin one's body.

The six external attacks also place very high demands on the body. Unless your martial soul awakens to the corresponding part, you need to train your skin and flesh before you can start cultivating.

Of course, the results and effectiveness of such demanding basic combat skills are gratifying.

For example, once the meridians in the Inner Body are mastered, the cultivation speed will be comparable to that of a fifth-level Innate Soul Master. Minor success corresponds to level seven, and major success corresponds to full Innate Soul Power!

Once you master it, you basically don't need to worry about your meridians breaking, and even if they do break, they can quickly repair themselves!

If one's innate soul power is already high, then cultivating this combat skill can further increase the cultivation speed. This is what enabled Long Aotian to reach his current level at the age of sixteen.

"That's amazing!"

Huo Yuhao was stunned by what he heard, his eyes sparkling as he looked at Long Aotian, as if he wanted to learn.

Putting down the combat techniques in his hands, Ning Wuque had a basic understanding of the mysteries of the Body Sect's combat techniques. He definitely had to learn them, because once he mastered them, his strength would experience a qualitative leap!

"Let's begin!"

"Now?"

"Yes, now! Time waits for no one. To become strong, you have to seize every opportunity, every single second!"

After saying that, Ning Wuque began his cultivation in the Body Sect together with Long Aotian.

Time passed little by little.

In the days that followed, Ning Wuque would practice combat techniques with Long Aotian every day, and occasionally he would be taken along by Du Busi to practice as well. Thus, the torment of two people turned into a hell for three.

Poison Undying's method of body training is extremely extreme, far less gradual than Ning Wuque's, but it must be said that it is also remarkably effective.

Ning Wuque's physical fitness improved rapidly after a period of extreme training, as if he had accumulated a lot of energy and then released it. However, this process was very short, like firing a bullet that had been stored up for a while.

Meanwhile, the three of them gradually grew closer as they went through hardships together.

"Phew~ I've finally mastered it! All six external attack techniques are now complete!"

Two months later.

Under Long Aotian's tutelage, Ning Wuque successfully mastered six external combat techniques, greatly improving his control over his body and essentially reaching the point where he could move at will.

As long as he can visualize that action, his body will absolutely be able to perform it!

This external training of six attacks not only uses six parts of the body as weapons, but also trains other parts of the body to become the hands that hold the weapons!

"Congratulations! Wuque, you've made amazing progress! You've mastered twelve combat skills and become proficient in six of them in just two months. That's incredible."

"Brother Aotian, you flatter me. I'm only able to do this so quickly because I have a good constitution and have eaten a lot of good food."

Shaking his head, Ning Wuque knew that his ability to learn so quickly was not due to his high talent, but rather because his body was too good. There was no difficulty at all in learning these twelve combat skills; he could master them through sheer hard work.

He must not become arrogant or complacent because of this.

Long Aotian didn't say anything in response, but instead extended an invitation:

"Yes, my master plans to take Yuhao and me to the Heavenly Soul Empire tomorrow to discuss a marriage alliance. Do you want to go and take a look?"

"Oh? It's great to join in the fun, I definitely have to go! But have you and Yuhao decided who will marry the princess and who will become the sect leader?"

It's human nature to join in the fun, and Ning Wuque was no exception. He even had a bit of a desire to see Huo Yuhao's blood flow like a river!

Wang Dong'er and Vina... Hahahaha! Just thinking about it makes me so excited!
