Republic of China Era: Entering the Dao through Divine Strike

Chapter 129 The Masked Man, Challenging the Hall

In Li Xin's vision.

[Nezha the Third Prince's Divine Intent] Advancement to the second level.

Combat capabilities have been greatly enhanced.

They also discovered an extremely useful secret technique.

Even at extreme speeds, one can remain invincible for a short period of time.

Logically speaking, he should have been satisfied.

But when are people ever truly content?

There are always stronger players out there.

No one knows whether there are even more formidable opponents or more sinister enemies lurking in the shadows.

Arrogance is absolutely unacceptable.

Just like that Elder Honglian, and that Tai Chi master Tang Shaofu.

In the past, they believed that with their abilities, they could go anywhere in the world.

There was simply no way anyone could pose a threat to their lives.

Even if things go wrong, if you encounter an extremely powerful enemy, you can still run away.

But as it turns out, always remaining vigilant and always having a sense of awe for the unknown is the best way to save your life.

Li Xin knew he was already very strong, but he never imagined that he was already the strongest in the world.

There must be many experts who are even more skilled than myself.

Master had actually already said that on that day.

Some sects possess strange and unseen powers, yet they are extremely difficult to deal with.

Even a master of martial arts like my master spoke of this matter with great seriousness.

Li Xin had no choice but to be more cautious.

"Therefore, the most urgent task now is to thoroughly digest the first layer of Erlang Shen's divine intention."

Ideally, I should acquire another secret skill before I pass the martial arts examination.

Li Xin always felt that if he wanted to win the title of the last martial arts champion, he should be able to seize some kind of intangible fortune.

But good things often come with difficulties and may encounter invisible but significant obstacles.

At that time, it might be necessary to use supreme power to shatter everything in order to achieve one's wish.

He even had a vague feeling that his third divine intention, "The Great Sage Equaling Heaven," might be something he wanted to digest at that time.

So, how do we break through this obstacle and accelerate the digestion of Erlang Shen's intentions?

After much deliberation, Li Xin concluded that the best solution had already been clearly stated.

Just like that day, they came knocking on the door, and one of them took on a whole group of them by himself.

With exquisite and profound swordsmanship, he forcefully killed [Crab Horse] Ma Shiqing and his disciples. The digestion of [Erlang Shen's Divine Intent] had been accelerated.

So, we want to continue accelerating.

Why not keep taking on the challenge?

Legend has it that this "True Lord of the Pure Source and Wondrous Way" fought his way up from a weakling to a saint in the flesh, eventually becoming the only war god in the Heavenly Court.

In terms of spiritual attainment, there may be many people who are better than him.

In terms of martial arts, apart from the monkey who fought him to a standstill, he had never encountered an opponent.

In terms of martial arts skills, he has reached a certain pinnacle.

Therefore, to fully understand this picture, one should start with martial arts, and with the various schools and sects.

"Hongxiu, which is the closest and most powerful martial arts school to our house?"

"It's the Cheng Family Bagua, young master. Don't you remember your sect?"

Zhuang Hongxiu was completely astonished.

"You're asking for it."

Zhuang Hongxiu shrank back and hesitated before saying, "Young Master, are you really going to challenge them? Won't you offend them and needlessly make enemies?"

The martial arts school closest to our home is Master Dong Wei, a successor of the Yongchun White Crane School.

To be honest, his family's boxing style has some connection with the Southern Wing Chun style that Nunu learned.

The characteristics of this boxing style are rapid advances into the center, agility, and speed, making it extremely adept at defeating stronger opponents with weaker ones.

"Your young master is going to challenge and learn about different styles of martial arts, not to raid other schools."

Don't worry, they'll thank me after the fight is over; we won't become enemies.

"Li Xin said with a smile.

He actually came up with a solution.

How can one win decisively, in a way that convinces others and avoids creating enmity?

People are working hard to make a living, and we have no grudges against them. It's really not right to ruin their livelihood; that would be immoral.

Then, why not just defeat him using his own martial arts techniques?

In this way, even if your boxing skills are inferior, your martial arts school can still operate, you can still sing and dance.

To save face as much as possible.

Of course, if there really are those petty people, then you can't blame them.

Even though you are not as strong as others, you are not humble.

Therefore, it is only natural that the venue was forced to close down after being attacked.

"Oh, alright then, I'll go prepare the visiting cards. Do I have to visit all thirty-seven boxing gyms in the capital?"

"Go to both of them. It's not good to show favoritism, lest people think your young master looks down on him."

"Too."

Cheng Feiyan stared wide-eyed at the two servants, one daring to speak and the other daring to prepare, utterly speechless.

After thinking for a moment, she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

Because she didn't really think that her junior brother would be afraid of others, given his abilities.

If you don't challenge all the martial arts schools, how can you become the best in the world?

The thought of being "the best in the world" made Cheng Feiyan's heart pound.

This is something even my father couldn't do. If my junior brother could do it, wouldn't Baguaquan become the most powerful martial art in the world?

While Zhuang Hongxiu was preparing the visiting card, Li Xin thought for a moment and put some of his newly acquired credit points into agility.

Once the Agility stat reaches 30, the second image will be unlocked, which is something to look forward to.

Take a look at your own condition.

Name: Li Xin

Age: 12/102

[Constitution: 28.7] Talent: (Critical Strike)

[Agility: 29.1] Talent: (Light and Agile)

[Spirit: 30.8] Talents: (Psychic, Mysticism)

[Martial Arts: Divine Strike. Exclusive Guardian General (Nezha, the Third Prince, 2% of the Divine Intent Level 2, Secret Techniques: Three Heads and Six Arms, Permanent Void Reflection. Secret Techniques: Swift Wind and Fire)]

(Erlang Zhenjun, Divine Intent Level 1, 31%, Secret Techniques: Eight-Nine Transformations, Ruyi True Body.)

(The Monkey King, Divine Will Level 1, 6%, Secret Technique: Floating Clouds Obscuring the Moon, Illusory Flowing Light.)

The embryonic form of the true essence of Taoist arts: the character "生" (life/birth).

Taoist Restriction: [Sharpness] Level 1 [Faithfulness: 0.8]

Faith arises from love, and the mind is boundless.

These days I've been taking the [Great Nourishing Essence Soup] without regard to cost. Although my physical strength is gradually increasing while my vital energy is decreasing, I am still making continuous progress.

At this rate of continuous decay, Li Xin estimated that once all his attributes reached 40 points...

These century-old medicines are now completely useless.

It's still possible at the moment.

-

In days when one has no faith to gain, taking medicine and cultivating oneself is many times faster than simply practicing standing meditation and nourishing one's vital energy.

These days, my gains in terms of faith and strength, apart from the three points I received from the Zhang family, are mainly due to the contributions of the little ones at home.

He taught them boxing techniques and stances, and took care of their daily needs, which earned them their gratitude. Li Xin also gained about ten points of light red spiritual power.

That's all.

He went out twice along the way, killed some local bullies, and saved several people.

Unfortunately, they were not very lucky and did not gain any credibility.

After all, not everyone will be truly grateful—even if it's a good deed or a life-saving favor.

Li Xin was neither surprised nor disappointed.

The virtue of gratitude is rare.

You'd be lucky to meet even one out of ten people.

Children are innocent and have a slightly higher chance of being innocent.

Adults have complex thoughts, their minds are eroded by various ideas, and they have many concerns, so the chances of them being grateful are pitifully small.

Of course, this is also related to the credibility evaluation mechanism.

A momentary surge of emotion and verbal gratitude are meaningless.

In Li Xin's view, the series of light red faith power;

It means if you have a thousand dollars, you can lend it all out, even if it means going hungry yourself, and you don't need to pay it back.

Once you reach this level, you will have a faint red aura.

The golden power must reach the point where one is willing to risk their life for the other.

Forget about money; if you were in danger, they would risk their lives to save you.

Therefore, Li Xin would show great care for these children who provided him with spiritual power, especially golden spiritual power.

What if he changes his mind later?

At least at this moment, it was sincere.

Even if the emotions fade over time, the faint red faith may degenerate into a complete loss of belief.

Golden Faith Power, however, would not.

No matter how much it deteriorates, it won't be too bad.

He is one of the closest people to me.

The gains during this period were mainly focused on improving Agility, which goes without saying.

Aside from this, Li Xin spent most of his time drawing character charts.

He had also gained some insights into the "Sharpness" restriction he had learned from his newly acquired treasured sword, "Xin Ting Hou".

The "New Characters Diagram" is the prototype of the true essence of Taoism. As Li Xin continued to draw it, his understanding of it deepened.

At this point, 0.4 units of information force can be injected at once.

This shows that this true seed is also capable of growth.

It requires both spiritual understanding and skill.

And what about the [Sharpness] restriction?

This is rather strange.

I wonder how the original swordsmith managed to attach this restriction?

Whether it was a match made with spirits or a sacrifice made by the sword, it is now impossible to know.

But Li Xin could clearly see a faint pattern hidden on the blade.

The spirit of the blade is also nurtured and generated by this thing.

Li Xinzhao imitated a cat drawing a tiger, and after adding his own faith, he gradually mastered the skill.

The only regret is that he can only control the first layer of restrictions on the painting.

The second attempt at overlapping is still a long way off, and I don't know how it can be successful.

Li Xin guessed that in order for the double restriction to not collapse, he would probably have to wait until his mental strength reached a higher level.

"Master, Master, disaster is coming!"

White Crane Boxing Gym.

A young disciple, around eighteen or nineteen years old, almost tripped and fell while running.

He held up a visiting card in his hand, his face filled with panic.

Inside the room, a middle-aged man with a square head and large ears sat upright at the table, drinking tea.

He watched his two disciples sparring, a smug look on his face.

He thought to himself, "My school of martial arts has taken root in the capital and is now flourishing even more."

These two disciples have now developed their internal strength and will surely bring fame to the White Crane Fist in the future.

In particular, his eldest disciple, Du Wenzhong, has mastered the essence of steady, accurate, and ruthless boxing techniques, and his hands are long enough to reach past his knees.

Later, we can find him a Tongbei Quan (a style of Chinese martial arts), and he might grow into a master of martial arts.

When they grow old and their blood weakens, this disciple can then take over the family business and meet the challenges ahead.

With him as their role model, every disciple under his tutelage becomes a successful person.

Just as he was thinking of something wonderful, his mood was ruined by the disciple who rushed in.

"What is it?"

Dong Wei gave a deep shout, his imposing presence radiating authority without anger.

"Yes, it's the masked man. The masked man has come to challenge us."

"What mask?"

Dong Wei's heart was in his throat.

The voices have all changed pitch.

He quickly thought back carefully: "I haven't done anything that would anger heaven and man during this time."

"Oh my god, the evil spirit Nezha has come knocking on my door. Today, I, Dong Baihe, am afraid my entire family will be wiped out."

Forget it, I'm not asking for votes anymore.

I'm in a slump today, feeling really bad. I didn't contribute much to the plot, so I'm ashamed to ask for votes.

I'll ask for more monthly votes tomorrow.
