In this chaotic world of martial arts, I'll become a god by adding skill points!

Chapter 106 Formless Skill

Wang Anping glanced at her; the stubbornness and determination in the girl's eyes were clearly visible.

He originally wanted to take this opportunity to speak up and clarify things, but there were many people here, and speaking at this time would easily hurt others.

He thought about it and decided to talk about it later.

Thinking of this, he nodded slightly and said simply, "I'll do my best."

These four simple words warmed Zhao Qingyue's heart.

As if greatly encouraged, he nodded vigorously.

When it came time to assign accommodations, Wang Anping and a few others went directly into the inner gate.

Led by Su Mu himself, they headed to a more secluded courtyard area halfway up the main peak.

The outer disciples were led by the other disciples to a neatly planned but relatively dense housing area at the foot of the mountain.

The living environment of the inner disciples was indeed different. The courtyards were built against the mountain and hidden in the lush bamboo forest, and each courtyard had its own independent entrance.

Although it is not large, it is quiet and elegant, and you can see the sea of ​​clouds rolling when you open the window.

Living in the same courtyard as Wang Anping were two other young men at the Transformation Realm.

A man named Han Li was tall, with a cold and stern face and sharp, piercing eyes.

Hailing from a military family in the north, he was taciturn, exuding an aura of battle-hardened ruthlessness.

The other one was named Shen Qingshu. He was tall and slender, with a gentle and refined demeanor, like a scholar, and always had a smile on his lips.

Hailing from a prominent family in Jiangnan, he appears easygoing, yet his eyes possess a profound depth.

The three exchanged names and a few pleasantries before settling into their respective rooms.

There wasn't much interaction; both maintained a cautious and distant demeanor, as if they were newcomers.

The next day, just as dawn was breaking, a disciple in charge came to lead the new inner disciples to the Transmission Hall. The Transmission Hall was located higher on the main peak, and was an ancient and grand stone hall.

Several people were already waiting inside the hall, besides these newly promoted inner disciples.

There are also several senior disciples who entered the sect a few years earlier and whose aura is more refined.

Soon, an elderly man dressed in a plain white Taoist robe, with white hair and beard and a gaunt face, slowly walked into the hall.

His steps seemed slow, but he instantly appeared on the prayer mat in front of everyone and sat down.

His gaze swept calmly across the area below, as if he could see into people's hearts.

An aura of profound stillness and unfathomable depth spread out, causing everyone to subconsciously hold their breath and concentrate.

"My surname is Zhou, you may call me Elder Zhou."

The old man's voice was calm, yet carried a power that penetrated to the heart: "Today, I will pass on to you the introductory chapter of the fundamental martial art of Misty Peak, the Formless Skill."

This technique was created by our ancestors of Misty Peak after observing the myriad phenomena of heaven and earth and examining the origins of martial arts.

Its core lies in its formlessness and impermanence; the mind gives rise to myriad phenomena, and all phenomena return to their origin.

When practiced to a high level, one can simulate the changes in the power of martial arts from all over the world.

It can transform the rotten into the miraculous, and further refine oneself, leading directly to the Great Dao.

Elder Zhou succinctly began explaining the introductory mantra, qi circulation routes, and key acupoints of the "Formless Skill."

The technique is profound and mysterious, and many of its concepts are completely different from what Wang Anping had learned before. It does not emphasize a specific power attribute or move form, but rather a state of mind of visualization, simulation, and integration.

When practicing the mental techniques, one should visualize oneself as empty space, encompassing all things.

It can also instantly extract and transform the essence of martial arts that one has observed or practiced, and integrate it into one's own strength.

This makes the force unpredictable and its power multiplied.

Wang Anping listened intently, his mind completely absorbed.

After Elder Zhou finished explaining, he indicated that everyone could try to guide the internal energy according to the mental technique.

Wang Anping closed his eyes, concentrated, and channeled his internal energy, slowly circulating it according to the practice route of the "Formless Skill".

Just as he attempted to circulate the energy for the first time, a sudden change occurred!

The proficiency panel deep within his consciousness changed instantly, as if a pebble had been thrown into a lake!

【Formless Skill 1\1000 Bright Strength】

"Buzz"

Wang Anping felt a soft ringing in his mind, as if some barrier had been broken.

He had previously diligently practiced Xingyi Quan and comprehended the essence of the Five Elements and the Twelve Forms.

And the movement of qi and blood practiced in the Five Animal Frolics by imitating the bear, bird, monkey, deer and tiger.

The wonder of relaxed muscles and bones, like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea, naturally integrates into the operating system of the "Formless Skill"!

The mental cultivation method of Wuxiang Gong is like an excellent converter and amplifier, which quickly sorts out, integrates and sublimates his original martial arts accumulation.

The "Formless Skill" originally required a lot of time to study and practice before one could even begin to understand it.

By the end of his first cycle, everything had naturally fallen into place.

They skipped the beginner stage and reached the level of minor mastery!

The nature of the internal energy within him subtly changed.

Although the total amount has not increased significantly, it has become more flexible and inclusive, and operates smoothly and without hindrance.

With a slight thought, one can simulate the explosive force, drilling force, and cannon force of Xingyi Quan.

Or perhaps it's the different forms of Qi and blood in the Five Animal Frolics, which can be switched freely without any stagnation.

"What's going on? Could this be the magic of the Lesser Formless Skill?"

"Truly a superior martial art!" Wang Anping carefully examined the proficiency panel; he hadn't expected such a pleasant surprise!

According to the theory of Wuxiang Gong, does that mean that in the future I only need to practice Xingyi Quan and Wuqinxi, and my proficiency in Wuxiang Gong will also increase accordingly?

If that were really possible, he would be making a fortune!

This means that he no longer needs to spend a lot of extra time practicing the Formless Skill.

He only needs to continuously improve his already very familiar Xingyiquan and Wuqinxi to drive the automatic growth of Wuxianggong!

This is practically a shortcut to heaven tailor-made for him!

Wang Anping suppressed his excitement, slowly opened his eyes, and a barely perceptible glint flashed deep within them.

He felt a renewed surge of energy within his body, and an unprecedentedly clear vision of his future path in martial arts.

Elder Zhou seemed to have sensed something. He glanced at Wang Anping meaningfully, but said nothing more. He simply said, "Today's transmission of skills ends here. The techniques have been taught. How much you can understand and to what level you can reach depends entirely on your own comprehension and diligence."

On the first and fifteenth of each month, I will give lectures and answer questions here.

If you have any questions, you can ask the senior brothers and sisters in charge, or go to the library to look up relevant books.

Remember, the foundation of martial arts lies in diligence and focus. Do not aim too high, nor waste time.

After the transmission of skills ended, everyone dispersed. Wang Anping returned to his room in Qingzhu Garden, closed the door, and his heart was filled with immense joy and a sense of urgency.

He must seize every opportunity to frantically improve his proficiency in Xingyi Quan and Wuqinxi!

From that day on, Wang Anping's life became extremely regular and monotonous.

Apart from listening to Elder Zhou's lectures twice a month and taking necessary meals and rest, he devoted almost all his time to martial arts practice.

The bamboo grove behind Qingzhu Garden, the cloud-viewing platform on the cliff, and even the room became places where he could sweat and hone his skills.

He repeatedly refined every move of Xingyi Quan, striving for purer power and more subtle variations.

He had mastered every movement of the Five Animal Frolics to the extreme, stimulating his blood and qi, and tempering his muscles and bones.

His proficiency was also increasing, because outer disciples could not enter the inner sect, and the Zhao family's young lady could not disturb him.

So, during this period, I started living the same life as I did in Zhenyuan County, practicing martial arts every day.

Occasionally, he would exchange ideas with Han Li and Shen Qingshu, who were from the same college.

Wang Anping often gained the upper hand with his exquisite power variations and solid foundation, which secretly alarmed both of them.

In stark contrast to Wang Anping's diligent study was Lin Yunshu.

After entering the outer sect, Lin Yunshu knew that although his physical constitution was of superior quality, his cultivation level was only at the early stage of Dark Force, which was not outstanding among the geniuses gathered in the inner sect of Misty Peak.

He harbored a deep resentment towards Wang Anping and was determined to quickly improve his strength so that he could avenge his previous humiliation in the future.

However, the path he chose was not one of intensive self-cultivation.

He began to frequent the inner disciples, deliberately befriending those senior brothers who had joined earlier and were more powerful, especially a few disciples who had some influence and liked to be flattered.

Using his knowledge and eloquence as a member of a prominent family, he presented exquisite gifts brought from home, doing everything he could to curry favor.
