Wizard: I have ten trillion nanomachines

When Shi Xia stepped onto the high platform, only one in ten martial artists remained in the training ground.

Most people haven't reached that level yet. Although they hear the profound meanings of various schools of thought, they find it difficult to comprehend them, or rather, they can't grasp the core essence. Instead, they are eager to learn the secrets that increase strength and improve techniques, and have long sought out secluded places to cultivate diligently.

More importantly, as the only school in the history of secret martial arts to have produced someone at the "Master or above" level, the Dou Shen Men's profound secret, "Formless," is not only unique but also harbors hidden dangers.

Those with weak willpower are easily drawn into illusions and left with indelible psychological trauma when confronted with such profound mysteries that touch upon consciousness.

"It seems you're all prepared." Shi Xia's gaze swept over the five remaining people on the field, her tone calm and even.

These five are all top martial arts masters of their time. In addition to Luo Kunlun, Su Qi, Zong Wu, and Yan Huang, there is also an old man with white hair and beard and a slender figure.

Master Luo Jia of the Jin Gang Secret Martial Arts School is also the oldest and most senior martial artist in the settlement.

"Of course." Luo Jia stroked his white beard, his eyes filled with anticipation and solemnity. "I never imagined that I would be able to personally experience the profound meaning of 'Formlessness' in my lifetime. Even if I die, I will have no regrets."

"Formless" is the name of the profound secret that the Fighting God Sect has inherited for thousands of years.

"Then let's begin." Shi Xia nodded and slowly began to speak, "The so-called 'formlessness' is not pure nothingness, but rather the realization of 'life' from 'nothingness' and the search for one's true self in emptiness."

Before the words were finished, everyone felt the surrounding light suddenly dim.

The once clear sky seemed to be shrouded in ink, and Shi Xia's figure suddenly became ethereal, turning into afterimages that appeared in all directions, whether near or far, left or right.

Everyone instinctively threw punches to test the waters, but the force of their punches only passed through the afterimages, hitting empty air without even the slightest resistance.

Just as Shi Xia's true form has vanished into the void, leaving behind only an illusion devoid of substance, ethereal yet omnipresent.

But this is not possible.

How can flesh and blood merge into the void? This goes far beyond the scope of secret martial arts; it's more like the fantastical magic of a wizard.

Luo Kunlun's heart skipped a beat, and he instantly understood that Shi Xia had not really disappeared, but rather that his five senses had been interfered with by some kind of force!

"Ding! Host detected as being attacked by an unknown mental wave, resulting in abnormal sensory perception. Please leave the current environment immediately!"

The alarm bells rang in his mind, further confirming his judgment.

Everything before my eyes is nothing more than an exquisite mental illusion.

He immediately calmed his mind, cleared his thoughts, and allowed his mind to return to clarity.

The surrounding darkness and shadows receded like the tide, and Shi Xia's figure became clear again, still standing in the center of the high platform.

"Such quick comprehension! You are the first person to break free from the illusion." A hint of surprise flashed in Shi Xia's eyes as she nodded to Luo Kunlun.

Subsequently, Su Qi, Zong Wu, Yan Huang, and Luo Jia also broke free from the illusion.

They were all martial arts masters with unwavering willpower. Although they were momentarily disturbed by the illusion, they quickly saw through the falsehood with their own cultivation.

"This is 'Formless'? It truly lives up to its name!" Yan Huang exclaimed in amazement. "It has such power in just a simple demonstration. If it were used in actual combat, combined with speed, strength and battle aura, it would be as if it disappeared into thin air, leaving the opponent with no way to attack."

"Your opponent can't hit you, but you can launch attacks at will. Even if you are in dire straits, you can find a way to survive by relying on this profound technique." Zongwu felt this deeply. His "Liberation" is more offensive than defensive, and the ability of "Formless" is the best counter to him.

All five were awestruck by the profound mystery of this technique, which touched upon the core secrets of the spiritual realm and was the most extreme secret martial art in the world in terms of the development of spiritual wonders.

Even masters of such unwavering will almost fall for it.

No wonder Shi Xia only allowed five people to experience it; those with weak wills might develop psychological problems as a result.

"This profound meaning of 'Formlessness' was left behind by the legendary patriarch of my Fighting God Sect," Shi Xia said slowly, her tone full of reverence.

That patriarch was the only one in the history of Secret Martial Arts to reach the realm of "Battle God".

Legend has it that in his short forty years of life, he realized something, his mind broke free from the shackles of the mundane, becoming clear and transparent, and his spirit became indestructible.

After taking that step, the fighting spirit returned to its original simplicity, transforming from tangible to intangible.

The tangible can become intangible, and the intangible is the most deadly.

Any evil will be completely wiped out in its presence, and an invisible barrier will always surround its body, allowing it to walk on air.

It is not a brief moment of air suspension created by using air pedals, but true aerial flight.

Most astonishingly, he miraculously "came back from the dead".

With all signs of life cut off, all six pulses stopped, and there was no breathing or heartbeat, it would seem like certain death to an ordinary person. However, after a short while, it spontaneously revived, finding life in the midst of death.

This is also the origin of the nickname "Living Dead" in the Battle God Realm.

"Our patriarch lived a very long time ago and spent half his life in seclusion. In addition, many of his insights can only be understood intuitively and cannot be expressed in words," Shi Xia continued. "Even the ancestors of our sect could not fully comprehend it, leaving behind only an eight-character motto: 'Be wise and enlightened, be awakened and guard it.'"

"This is also the origin of the name 'Sacred Awakening'."

.......

After the martial arts tournament concluded, the entire settlement was engulfed in a frenzied atmosphere of cultivation.

Luo Kunlun benefited immensely, as the application of various schools of power, the methods of controlling battle qi, and the four supreme mysteries all opened new doors for him.

While helping other martial artists master the basic techniques of Zhenjin body tempering, he also relied on Zero's super computing power to summarize, integrate, and deduce all the secret techniques he learned.

The four major schools each have their own emphasis on the essence of the art, and he has thoroughly mastered the concepts of guarding the mind and fasting in Renwangquan.

The "liberation" of the War Demon Stream corresponds to the physical potential, the "thunderous battle qi" of the Holy Fire Stream corresponds to the qualitative change of qi, and the "formless" of the Battle God Sect corresponds to the wondrous use of the spirit. This perfectly matches the cultivation of "essence, qi and spirit".

Heaven has three treasures: the sun, the moon, and the stars; Earth has three treasures: water, fire, and wind; and Man has three treasures: essence, energy, and spirit.

Spirit, energy, mind, body, and skills.

If one can combine the strengths of various schools to create one's own secret martial art, it will be the most suitable and strongest for oneself.

This is also one of the purposes of this martial arts tournament.

Create a secret weapon that is highly versatile, powerful, and has low requirements for external objects.

Luo Kunlun constantly discussed with martial arts practitioners in helping others with their basic body training and in subsequent exchanges.

As the days went by, the secret martial arts were slowly taking shape.

A month later, the prototype of this secret weapon was formed.

In terms of physical foundation and battle qi cultivation, the core is the blood circulation of the Battle Demon Flow, supplemented by the food methods of various schools (techniques to enhance food absorption) and the Vibration Force Body Refinement, so that food can be efficiently transformed into physical essence and qi. Then, the Vibration Force is used as a hammer to temper the five internal organs, bones and marrow, creating an indestructible and powerful physique.

The stronger one's physical body, the more abundant one's blood and qi, and the more powerful one's battle qi, which is enough to support the cultivation of domineering techniques such as thunderous battle qi.

As for mental techniques, mental martial arts are rare. Apart from the four major schools' profound techniques which have no side effects, others such as the Tong Shen Quan (Divine Fist) all have hidden dangers such as mental schizophrenia.

Therefore, the four major schools of Xinmi martial arts have combined the essential principles of spirit, taking "guarding the mind" from Renwangquan, "enlightenment" from Doushenmen, "concentration" from Shenghuoliu, and "firm will" from Zhanmoliu, to form a gentle yet highly effective spiritual cultivation method.

Finally, there's technique. Martial artists' tactical styles vary from person to person and improve with experience and real combat, making it difficult to establish a unified standard.

Therefore, the new Miwu only includes basic techniques.

In Luo Jia's words, a solid foundation built through countless hours of practice is better than any last-minute cramming for a secret technique.

Finally, the name of this secret martial art, which integrates the strengths of various schools, was decided.

"How about we call it Ryūken?" Luo Kunlun suggested. "Ryū means 'shining jade.' This fist technique should become the most dazzling and powerful of all secret martial arts!"

"Liu, bright and shining, has a very auspicious meaning," Luo Jia said with a smile, stroking his beard.

"Great! Let's call it Ryukyu-ken!" Zongwu, Yanhuang, and others chimed in.

This boxing style symbolizes a unified beginning.

In the past, the cultivation methods of different schools varied, and there was no standard, that is, a power system.

It's true.

First refine the body, then cultivate the Qi, and finally touch the spirit.

Simply put, it's about first refining essence, then building up energy, and finally cultivating spirit.
