The path to immortality through martial arts begins with being forced into marriage!

Yellow Rank, Middle Grade, Mountain-Breaking Fist.

Cui Yi held the slightly damaged martial arts manual in his hand, examined it for a moment, and then threw it into the interior space of the Floating Pagoda.

This fist technique can just make up for his lack of close combat ability.

Although the Three Subduing Demons Techniques are of a very low grade, they are still martial arts techniques.

Previously, when he was engaged in close combat, he could only rely on the Surging Waves Force, which is an auxiliary technique that is perfect for combining with close combat skills.

"Tang'er, you and Sister Yunyan eat dinner first. Don't disturb me if I'm not coming out."

After giving a few instructions, Cui Yi returned to his bedroom and began his seclusion.

Deep within his consciousness, Cui Yi stared blankly at the majestic ancient pagoda before him.

Because at this moment, the mist shrouding the pagoda had thinned considerably!

To be more precise, it has moved up quite a bit!

The second layer was originally completely invisible, but now it is directly exposed to Cui Yi's view!

Cui Yi couldn't wait to enter the interior space, and sure enough, he saw a stone staircase extending upwards in the spacious first floor.

The stone steps, simple and unadorned, are the same material as the tower, and gleam with a faint, dim light.

"Xi Yue once said that the Floating Pagoda would open as my cultivation level increased..."

Cui Yi's mind raced, and he suddenly understood.

He had already broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, so it was only natural that the second level of this tower would be opened.

However, there were too many things to deal with after the breakthrough, and I hadn't had time to examine myself closely, almost missing this change!

After Cui Yi climbed to the second floor of the Floating Pagoda, he was surprised to find that the space there was almost the same size as the first floor.

But there were four orbs of light in mid-air, and the information they contained was the martial arts techniques he had already learned!

Qi-guiding technique, three demon-subduing techniques, surging waves and overlapping power, and the spirit-refining technique that I just recently learned!

These are all the martial arts techniques he has mastered... and they have been materialized here?

Cui Yi was surprised, and then began to carefully explore the mysteries of the second layer.

After some exploration, Cui Yi roughly understood the function of this second layer.

The first layer focuses on deductive learning.

The core principle of this second level is integration and mastery!

It can actually combine any martial arts technique that has been learned with the next martial arts technique to be learned, taking the essence and discarding the dross!

It's even possible that a completely new martial arts technique that combines the advantages of both might be born!

This ability allows for a deep fusion of any learned martial arts technique with another unlearned one!

However, each martial art technique can only be fused once.

Even the product of fusion cannot be further deduced and fused.

Moreover, two martial arts techniques that have already been learned cannot be combined.

Two completely unrelated martial arts techniques may very well produce a useless martial arts technique!

In addition, mastering a comprehensive understanding also consumes one's lifespan, which is equivalent to adding a random variable to oneself!

Whether this variable is good or bad is impossible to determine!

After much thought, Cui Yi realized that the only martial arts manual he hadn't learned was the Mountain-Crushing Fist manual that Lin Songshan had given him.

Breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm also granted him an additional hundred years of lifespan, which he could certainly use for trial and error.

Merging with a Yellow-Rank martial skill shouldn't consume too much of his lifespan.

The remaining portion was used entirely for cultivating and refining the Divine Refining Technique!

Having made up his mind, Cui Yi immediately began the integration process.

"Combining the Mountain-Crushing Fist and the Surging Waves Force requires consuming fifty years of one's lifespan, and the process is irreversible!"

"Should we continue?"

"continue!"

boom!

Cui Yi's consciousness was forcibly thrown outside the Pagoda. In his view, the faint light on the first floor of the Pagoda had not yet completely subsided when a low rumble came from the pagoda again.

On the second floor of the tower, the previously dim and blurry outline suddenly lit up!

It was a deeper, more profound light, within which countless tiny, intricate runes seemed to flow endlessly, then combine and evolve into entirely new runes.

The simulation has begun!

......

[Tenth Year]: As your mind leads you, every detail of the Mountain Breaking Fist, along with the essential principles of the Surging Waves Force that you have mastered to a high level, you begin to try to find the most basic point of resonance between the two. The Mountain Breaking Fist is fierce and straightforward, while the Surging Waves Force is long and layered.

[Twentieth Year] You abandoned a lot of wasteful and redundant movements in the Breaking Mountain Fist, and corrected the lack of explosive power caused by the excessive pursuit of length in the Surging Waves Force.

[Thirty Years]: You are no longer satisfied with simple corrections and begin to reinterpret the Mountain-Breaking Fist with the concept of overlapping waves.

[Fortieth Year]: You visualize yourself standing on a rock amidst raging waves, your fist strikes like a mountain collapsing, your power surges like waves crashing.

Your boxing intent is no longer singular, but combines the steadfastness and power of mountains with the vastness and endurance of the sea.

So you created a completely new kind of wave stacking.

The first layer of force is like an undercurrent, gathering momentum before it is released.

The second force is like a raging wave crashing against the shore, bursting forth with fierce power.

The third level of power draws inspiration from the rhythm of overlapping waves, transforming some of the explosive force into a more penetrating hidden force that pierces through defenses and directly injures internal organs.

[Fifty Year]: You will refine the fused energy circulation path to a near-perfect state, establishing a unique Mountain and Sea Cyclic Internal Breathing Method.

When the fist force explodes, it is like a surging tide, which greatly alleviates the damage caused by the recoil of rigid fist techniques. It also contains a trace of ancient suppressive intent, which has the potential to pull out and absorb the true energy of others!

You will benefit from this in all the boxing techniques you learn in the future!

......

"Deduction complete!"

"You have mastered the low-grade Xuan-level martial skill, [Mountain and Sea Collapsing Cloud Fist]!"

call......

Cui Yi regained his senses and mastered all the fused martial arts techniques!

Low grade Xuan class!

The martial arts skill level has been upgraded to such an exaggerated degree!

Cui Yi had considered that the fused martial arts technique would become a high-grade Yellow Rank, but he never expected it to jump to the Profound Rank!

The difference between the Xuan and Huang ranks is only one word, but their power is worlds apart!

Their values ​​are worlds apart!

In a prefecture-level city like Donghai City, the number of people who have mastered Xuan-rank martial arts skills probably doesn't exceed one hundred!

And this was only his first attempt to use the Pagoda!

Cui Yi's eyes were unusually fervent. If he were to fuse with a Xuan-rank technique, would it produce an Di-rank technique?

hum...

The token at his waist suddenly vibrated, jolting Cui Yi, who was immersed in joy, back to reality.

The waist token of the Demon Suppression Division only reacts when summoned.

During his shifts these past few days, he's had an incredibly relaxed time and hasn't been called back even once.

Why is it that he's on his day off, yet you're looking for him?

"Strange thing."

Cui Yi muttered something to himself and quickly exited the space of the Floating Pagoda.

He can slack off normally, but when something really happens, he can't be absent.
