Wuxia Across the Heavens: I Collect Side Effects

On the way to Butterfly Valley, Su Xin did not waste a single moment. He silently honed his skills throughout the journey, repeatedly refining and integrating the martial arts he had learned during the breaks between trips.

Compared to the powerful and straightforward Vajra Fist, and the insidious and deadly Thousand Spider Poison Hand, the newly learned Seven Injury Fist is undoubtedly much more exquisite and complex.

This style of boxing does not seek to kill with a single blow, but instead emphasizes the ruthless approach of "injuring first and then killing".

By layering seven distinct internal energies into the opponent's body, allowing them to accumulate and slowly erode the internal organs and meridians, ultimately causing incurable hidden injuries, this technique is arguably the most torturous killing move in the martial arts world.

No wonder they were able to break through this indestructible divine skill.

Its strength is indeed extraordinary.

Of course, there are difficulties in cultivation!

Fortunately, with the help of the Vajra Subduing Demon Divine Power, this technique is extremely subtle in its transformation of physical strength and internal energy. Su Xin was able to make rapid progress with it, and within a few days he had mastered all seven different types of internal energy of the Seven Injury Fist and used them with increasing skill.

During his cultivation, he also unexpectedly discovered the hidden uses of the Seven Injury Fist:

It is not simply a technique that harms people; on the contrary, it can temper the internal organs.

With each punch, the heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, and spleen are repeatedly nourished and tempered by the internal energy. In just one month, Su Xin felt that his internal organs were becoming more and more open and strong, which had a similar charm to the "nourishing the body from the inside out" of Chinese martial arts.

Unlike ordinary internal martial arts, the Seven Injury Fist is based on profound internal strength and comes with a lot of side effects. However, it is precisely because of this that the cultivation speed is far greater than that of ordinary martial arts.

After this training, Su Xin finally understood why Kongtong Mu Lingzi could live to be over ninety years old.

When the Seven Injury Fist is practiced to its fullest extent, it is an extremely superior internal energy cultivation technique. However, ordinary people cannot control the seven fierce internal energies and will instead be devoured by the force, ruining themselves first.

As for Su Xin, all the side effects were absorbed by the system, leaving him only with rapidly improving cultivation and an increasingly strong physique. This gain was like finding an invaluable treasure.

Besides the Seven Injury Fist, Su Xin has also never given up the Vajra Fist and Vajra Finger, and now both of these external martial arts have reached the second level.

The power of the fist is no longer superficial, but can be concentrated and penetrate the body. When a punch is thrown, the internal power can penetrate directly into the internal organs.

The force of the fingers is concentrated at a single point, with extremely strong penetrating power, making ordinary hard objects utterly vulnerable.

As for the Vajra Subduing Demon Divine Power, Su Xin is still in the beginner stage. When he practices, his bones will make cracking sounds, which is a sign that his blood and qi are being forcibly stimulated and his tendons and bones are being repeatedly tempered.

This technique is extremely demanding and cannot be rushed. Only by practicing it slowly day after day can one begin to grasp its essence.

Ordinary trees were no longer suitable for his finger training, so Su Xin specifically chose to use hard rocks by the roadside. Wherever his finger force went, deep holes were instantly pierced into the rock surface.

If you look closely, you will find that the inner wall of the hole has become black and brittle, and the inside has been quietly corroded by the poison of the Thousand Spider Poison Hand.

He had already thoroughly integrated this poisonous skill into several external martial arts techniques, including the Vajra Fist and Vajra Finger.

Among them, the Mighty Vajra Finger takes the approach of surprise attack to break through defenses. With one finger, it can not only break armor and injure bones, but also silently inject poison into the opponent's body, truly achieving the goal of killing on sight.

The Mighty Vajra Fist is a typical example of "boiling a frog in lukewarm water." The longer the fight lasts, the more turbulent the opponent's blood and qi become, and the faster and deeper the poison spreads within their body. By the time the opponent realizes something is wrong, the poison has already seeped into their bones.

Now, Su Xin has once again considered merging with it.

The goal is to fuse the Seven Injury Fist into these two martial arts styles and the Thousand Spider Poison Hand, creating a unique killing move of his own.

In his vision, this fused martial art should have a subtle, almost imperceptible, sweet and bloody flavor in its punches, seemingly fierce and unstoppable, but actually concealing deadly intent.

The punch was incredibly powerful, and the opponent dared not take it head-on.

However, once hit, the seven different internal energies of the Seven Injury Fist will instantly explode inside the body, and then be combined with the heart-devouring erosion of the Thousand Spider Poison Force, resulting in a double internal injury that is virtually incurable.

Coupled with the system's ability to eliminate side effects, this will undoubtedly become an unstoppable weapon.

But once you actually start trying to integrate them, problems arise one after another.

The challenge of this fusion lies in only one thing: to perfectly coordinate four forces that are completely different, even contradictory, in an extremely short instant.

He must ensure that all the forces coexist without conflict or cancellation in the microsecond it takes for his fist to strike his opponent:

The outer layer is the powerful external force of the Vajra Fist, which is responsible for breaking through defenses and shaking off the opponent's protective true energy;

The moment of contact must be immediately transformed into the spiraling, oscillating internal force of the Seven Injury Fist, penetrating directly into the opponent's internal organs;

At the same time, the poisonous energy of the Thousand Spider Poison Hand must be secretly wrapped in the shockwave, and seeped into the opponent's meridians and internal organs through the gaps in the internal energy.

A single misstep could lead to complete failure.

If the force is too strong, it will directly disperse the poison and the Seven Injury Internal Force, ultimately causing only superficial injuries and failing to unleash the power of the killing move.

The soft force was too weak and could not penetrate the opponent's protective qi. The poison force and the Seven Injury Internal Force were all blocked outside the body and were useless.

To put it simply, this is the ultimate in micro-management.

The sending and receiving must be perfectly consistent, with no errors whatsoever. Even the slightest oversight can lead to fusion failure.

This is the real challenge in integrating martial arts techniques.

It should be noted that his previous so-called "fusion" was merely a simple combination of the internal force of the Thousand Spider Poison Hand with the Mighty Vajra Fist and Mighty Vajra Finger, not a true fusion.

This time, however, he was going to truly integrate the poisonous power of the Thousand Spider Poison Hand with the power of the other three techniques, which was far more difficult than before.

Just as Su Xin was pondering, Hu Qingyang slowly walked over.

"Su Xin, have something to eat!"

Su Xin nodded and went to the fire, where Hu Qingyang had also roasted some dry rations and meat strips.

I took a bite, and it had some unknown herbs added. Surprisingly, it actually tasted pretty good.

His cooking skills are quite good, but I really don't know who he studied under.

Whether it's Hu Qingniu or Wang Nangu, if it's the latter, Su Xin wouldn't dare touch her.

"Try it, these are wild spices that my older brother taught me to use."

"Um!"

"Who is your older brother?"

"The Immortal Physician Hu Qingniu, my sister-in-law is the Poison Immortal Wang Nangu."

Su Xin's feigned surprise only made Hu Qingyang feel smug.

"By the way, the baby in your belly..."

"Ignore that heartless man!"

Su Xin felt that things were now in order and he wouldn't be exposed anymore.

He was also afraid that he might slip up and say something that Hu Qingyang hadn't said.

"Have you studied it?"

"I probably couldn't sit still when I was little, and since I'm a woman, they didn't teach me."

Su Xin nodded. The two had become much more familiar with each other along the way, and had learned most of what was going on in the person.

Although Hu Qingyang did not learn poison or medicine, he did have a few things for self-defense, but unfortunately, they were all tricked away by Xianyu Tong.
