Ultimate Method: Practice your fist a hundred times, and use violence to control violence.

"I originally planned to leave Holy City to seek revenge on the people of the Secret Palace, but you saved me, so I can't just leave like this."

"???"

Wan Ze's head was as big as an ox.

He paused for a moment when he saw the burly man take out an old notebook from his pocket.

"This is my family's traditional hard qigong. You can take it and practice it with that guy..." the burly man said earnestly.

"Wait." Wan Ze instinctively refused, but the notebook had already been stuffed into the burly man's arms. Seeing him turn to leave, Wan Ze hurriedly whispered, "Wait, brother, there might still be a way."

But little did anyone know that the burly man had already made up his mind: "This whole thing started because of me, so I should be the one to end it."

He suddenly turned around, grinned憨厚ly, and scratched his head.

"Um... nice to meet you."

After saying that, he walked away into the darkness.

Wan Ze felt a pang of guilt, realizing his earlier attitude might have been a bit harsh, and tried to ease the tension: "Friend, I still don't know your name?"

"Copper Mountain, copper... the copper!"

The rest of the words were unclear, and then the figure disappeared.

Wan Ze: "..."

He really is an impatient person.

By the faint moonlight, he could make out the title of the book in his hand... "The Vajra Subduing Tiger Technique".

……

A few hours later.

"With unwavering resolve, qi and blood flow seamlessly... The essence of this martial art lies in guiding internal energy into the periosteum, tendons, and fascia, causing the soft tissue fibers to thicken..."

"Besides greatly enhancing defensive capabilities, it can even make one invulnerable to blades and bullets..."

under night.

The evening breeze rustled the beige curtains.

Wan Ze sat at his desk, carefully reading the cultivation method given to him by Tong Shan. The last page of the method contained the energy circulation route of the Subduing Tiger Vajra Skill.

Coincidentally, the energy flow path of this hard qigong also ultimately converges into the Huangting point.

"Does he know?"

Indeed, it's not that the secrets of the Dragon Eagle Martial Arts School involve any particular aspect of the human body; the real secrets are the mantras and the pathways for the flow of Qi and blood.

Wan Ze shook off his distracting thoughts and focused his gaze on the personal attribute box at the bottom of his field of vision.

……

[Stamina: 0.83]

【Intelligence: 0.81】

[Agility: 0.75]

[Endurance: 0.75]

【Strength: 0.77】

[Coordination: 0.75]

……

With his strength improving, he finally felt relieved.

"The Dragon Eagle Secret Martial Arts, combined with the Thunder Breathing Technique and Iron Mountain Fist, can greatly enhance my physical fitness in a short period of time."

"As for..."

He looked at the "Tiger-Subduing Vajra Skill" in his hand and fell into thought, then stood up.

……

[Illustrated Guide: Subduing Tiger Vajra Skill]

[Requirement for beginner-level skill: One instance of Qi and Blood Interaction]

……

With the precedent of the Dragon Eagle Secret Martial Arts, the convergence of Qi and blood is not difficult for Wan Ze now. He assumes a horse stance and, with the circulation of his inner energy, the Qi and blood quickly converge.

The data frame in the field of view should then jump.

……

[Illustrated Guide: Subduing Tiger Vajra Skill] (Beginner Level, Already Mastered)

[Requirements for basic skill level: Three Qi and Blood Interactions]

……

Wan Ze calmed himself down.

It's not difficult for Qi and blood to converge three times in the body; it's just a matter of time.

It was 9:27 PM in the blink of an eye.

After the Qi and blood flow through the body and converge three times, there is a jolt inside the body, and the warmth of the blood gathering and spreading to the limbs is very obvious, and the heart beats faster and faster.

He looked down.

……

[Illustrated Guide: Subduing Tiger Vajra Skill] (Beginner Level Mastered)

[Intermediate skill requirement: 150 instances of Qi and Blood Interaction]

……

"One hundred and fifty times?"

This is not something that can be done in a day or two.

Wan Ze withdrew his gaze, silently sensing the details of this hard qigong. The speed at which his qi and blood flowed throughout his body was increasing, constantly accelerating the tempering of his qi and blood. This was good news.

"With the Dragon Eagle Secret Weapon, the rate at which all six attributes improve will be several times faster than before..."

"Get stronger faster..."

"I'll teach the Subduing Tiger Vajra Skill to my senior brother tomorrow..."

As night fell, Wan Ze thought of the Copper Mountain and the Secret Palace, and suddenly felt that this world was very interesting. In ordinary life, who would have thought that battles were actually hidden all around us?

What intrigued him even more was that there was absolutely no official report about what happened in Montenegro last night, as if his brush with death had never existed.

"It seems the world is more complex than I imagined."

"I need to become stronger as soon as possible!"

……

Dawn broke in the blink of an eye.

"Clang... clang..."

The living room clock rang.

Sunlight streamed onto the light green sheets, casting halos of light on the white walls.

On the side of the bed, Wan Ze, who was sitting cross-legged, slowly opened his eyes. His cultivation this morning was over. It was not easy to complete the task of exchanging qi and blood 150 times in a short period of time.

If the Thunder Breathing Technique can reach the highest level, the speed of qi and blood exchange will be much faster.

Alternatively, if the Dragon Eagle Secret Technique is upgraded to the beginner, advanced, or even special level, then it will not only increase the speed of blood and qi exchange.

Lost in thought...

"Mom? Mom! Mom!!!"

From inside the living room came the calls of Wan Xiaoyu, the younger sister, and the creaking sound of her feet on the wooden floor.

Before Wan Ze could get up, there was a rapid knocking on the door, and Wan Xiaoyu's head popped in, shouting anxiously, "Brother, brother, Mom is gone!"

"Didn't you notice that Dad is also missing?" Wan Ze said, getting up unhurriedly.

Wan Xiaoyu was taken aback, she really hadn't noticed. She looked up blankly and said, "So where did they go? Weren't we supposed to have an easier week at work?"

"I've been on the early shift for the past two weeks, so I'll be back early in the evening." Wan Ze glanced at his sister's thin clothes and frowned slightly. "It's getting colder today, wear more clothes."

"I'm not cold... Achoo! Bro, I'm really not cold, Achoo! Strange, what's wrong with me, Achoo... Ptooey ptooey ptooey!"

"..."

Wan Ze shook his head helplessly, got up, went to the window, and closed it.

I could vaguely see a few figures jogging along the forest path outside the window, all wearing long-sleeved jackets.

The row of snack shops on the left was already packed with queues, and the entrance was noisy with steam rising from the air.

"It's really lively."

Wan Ze sniffed, gazing at the authentic, everyday life of the city, before slowly turning his gaze away.

The brother and sister sat facing each other at the rectangular red dining table.

"Brother, what are your plans for this Saturday?" Xiao Yu asked, taking a sip of milk.

"Is there something you need?" Wan Ze asked, picking up a pan-fried bun as he looked up.

"Tell me first, do you have time?" Xiao Yu urged.

"I'm going to the martial arts school to train." Wan Ze swallowed a steamed bun in one gulp and mumbled, "What's up?"

"I want to go to the amusement park, but Mom and Dad said they have to work overtime this weekend, so I want... you to come with me." Xiaoyu finished speaking, looking longingly at Wanze, then lowered her head, took a deep breath, and pretended to be happy, saying, "But you have to practice martial arts. Dad said that practicing martial arts is the most important thing for you right now. But it's a promise, you must take me to the amusement park once you're not busy!"

Wan Ze paused, looked at his sister, and then nodded: "Okay."

Xiao Yu cheered up again: "Brother, you're the best!"

"Remember to clean up after you're done eating."

Wanze pulled out a tissue to wipe his mouth, got up first, went back to his room to pack his schoolbag, and the brother and sister caught the school bus a moment later.

On the street, two antique cars were slowly driving past the intersection, emitting white smoke.

The autumn morning breeze carried a touch of coolness, seeping in through the slightly ajar car window and causing Wanze's hair to flutter wildly across his forehead.

Several girls huddled in the corner of the bus glanced at it cautiously several times.

But at this moment, Wan Ze felt as if he had a thorn in his side, as if a ferocious beast was watching him from the shadows!

Who?

who is it!
