Tai Zhu Xuan Xiang: Me and My Eight Golden Gourd Sisters

As the catalyst for the transformation of the "Myriad Stars Martial Arts Manual", Xi'er's opportunity was naturally the purest and most profound.

At this moment, deep within her consciousness, countless illusory figures of martial artists crisscrossed, and boundless martial arts techniques came and went. The profound principles and various secrets of martial arts from all the stars and phenomena transformed into a continuous stream of martial arts insights, washing over her limbs and bones like a tide.

Her body is being silently tempered and reshaped by the spiritual light of martial arts.

The bones became more refined under the influence of the spiritual light, the muscles became firmer in its baptism, and the meridians became wider under its nourishment. Every breath, every heartbeat, resonated with those martial arts insights, etching those profound truths into the depths of the flesh and blood, bit by bit.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the cultivation of the Primordial World-Crossing Treasure Raft also began to improve.

Xi'er had already perfected the first stage of the Original Dao Chapter, and now, with the help of the martial arts spiritual light, she was showing faint signs of breaking through. Under repeated impacts, the invisible barrier developed fine cracks, and golden light shone through the cracks, illuminating her dantian.

Cai Xuan closed his eyes and began to comprehend the "Demon Subduing Fist" in his mind, each move slowly unfolding in his consciousness.

This boxing style has nine forms, each containing unique power generation techniques and methods to restrain evil energy.

The first move is called "Breaking Evil," where the punch strikes like lightning, hitting vital points directly. It seems simple, but it contains hidden secrets. The second move is called "Shocking Demons," where the punch's force vibrates like ripples, specifically designed to counter those tough-skinned, heavily armored demons with amazing defenses. The third move is called "Locking Demons," where the punch is tricky, and the force is like silk threads, binding and restraining the demons, making them move slowly, as if they were stuck in a quagmire. The fourth move is called "Burning Demons," where the punch's force is as fierce as fire, specifically designed to counter evil spirits and ghosts.

He silently practiced it several times in his mind, memorizing the energy flow and breathing rhythm of each move. He then tried to execute the first four moves in a continuous sequence, feeling the transition and connection between the fist energy.

Outside the window, the moon gradually sank in the west, and the starlight became increasingly dazzling.

After an unknown amount of time, the phantoms, techniques, and martial arts principles in Xi'er's mind receded like the tide, all buried deep within her memory, leaving only the "Demon-Subduing Fist" quietly floating in her consciousness. The rest awaited the right opportunity to unfold.

A little while later, Xi'er awoke from her reverie.

She blinked, her eyes sparkling like stars, and her entire demeanor subtly changed, becoming more composed and profound, as if the "Myriad Stars Martial Arts Manual" had planted a seed of martial arts in her heart, which was now taking root and sprouting.

"Brother, I feel like I've learned a lot of things, but then I forgot them all, but I seem to have gotten better at them."

Xi'er looked completely bewildered, her tone filled with disbelief. The feeling was strange; her mind was filled with many things, yet when she tried to recall them, she couldn't; but her body had undeniably become stronger, every muscle brimming with power.

Cai Xuan glanced at her sideways without saying a word.

Yun'er, Shu'er, and Xin'er also woke up one after another.

Xin'er was the first to open her eyes.

The little girl's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her eyes suddenly opened, a faint, intense flame flashing across them before quickly disappearing into her clear pupils, restoring her usual bright black eyes. However, her aura was completely different; her posture was increasingly light and upright, and every movement carried a restrained martial arts sharpness, like a newly sharpened dagger, its edge just beginning to reveal itself.

Suddenly, a fist technique appeared in Cai Xuan's mind—the Divine Flame Fist.

The fist technique consists of seven forms, based on fire and using force and power.

With a single punch, the force was as fierce as fire, capable of burning gold and melting stone; it was truly an extremely domineering fist technique.

"Brother, I've learned another style of boxing!"

Xin'er clenched her little hand into a fist and swung it around, feeling the surge of power within her body and the clear offensive and defensive techniques in her mind. She found it all very novel. Although Cai Xuan would teach them Crane Fist sometimes, Xin'er felt that the Divine Flame Fist she had learned from the book was more suitable for her.

A moment later, Shu'er also opened her eyes.

Shu'er was calm and reserved. When she opened her eyes, she did not make any extra movements, nor did she exude any intimidating aura.

She simply sat there quietly, like a deep pool, calm and undisturbed. But if one were to perceive her closely, one could detect the sharp edge of martial arts emanating from her. That edge was not fierce or dazzling, but like an undercurrent, silent and stealthy, killing without a trace.

The moment she opened her eyes, another boxing technique appeared in Cai Xuan's mind—the Xuan Shui Fist.

The fist has seven forms, based on water, using softness to overcome hardness. The fist's power is continuous and uninterrupted, like a rushing river. Before one move is finished, another begins, linked together, leaving the opponent overwhelmed.

Yun'er was the last to open her eyes.

Yun'er's eyes were clear and bright, with a more lively and sharp look than before, like a sword drawn from its sheath reflected in a clear spring.

She sat upright, her back straight, her movements graceful and measured. Her childishness had faded, replaced by a calm and confident demeanor. It was as if a single night of enlightenment had transformed her from a little girl into a composed young adult.

When Yun'er opened her eyes, Cai Xuan had another fist technique in his mind—the Xing Lei Fist.

The boxing style consists of seven forms, guided by thunder and emphasizing speed.

The punches are as fast as lightning, too fast for the naked eye to follow; the force of the punches is explosive, with lightning scattering everywhere with each strike, displaying astonishing power. There is also a move called "Heavenly Thunder Guidance," which can fuse the lightning techniques within the body with the force of the punch, unleashing a punch wrapped in lightning, doubling its power.

The four sisters exchanged glances, each seeing surprise in the other's eyes.

"Alright, it's getting late, go back to sleep, we have a lot to do tomorrow." Cai Xuan stood up, stretched, and said.

The children responded and left Cai Xuan's room, returning to the next room. A moment later, they heard rustling sounds of people lying down and soft voices, but it quickly quieted down.

Cai Xuan turned off the solar-powered light and lay down on the bed, but did not fall asleep immediately. Instead, he closed his eyes and mentally rehearsed the first move of the "Demon Subduing Fist," "Breaking Evil," until he had memorized every detail before finally falling into a deep sleep.

The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, Cai Xuan was awakened by a noise.

I opened my eyes and listened for a while. The sound came from the platform, mixed with Xi'er's shouts of practicing her punches and the roar of the wind from her punches.

This little guy got up even earlier than him.

Cai Xuanqi dressed himself, pushed open the door, and saw Xi'er standing in the center of the platform, practicing her fist techniques one move at a time. Her fist techniques were ancient and powerful, unlike the light and graceful Crane Fist. Each punch carried a steady and heavy momentum, and the wind from the punches made the surrounding air tremble slightly.

Hmm, isn't this the Demon Subduing Fist?

Cai Xuan muttered to himself, no wonder he hadn't gotten Xi'er's fist technique last night, it turned out he had already gotten it before. He thought that lousy book had finally recognized his talent and specially given him a fist technique, but it turned out it was just taking advantage of Xi'er's good fortune.

Yun'er, Shu'er, and Xin'er also got up early and practiced their boxing in a corner of the platform.

Yun'er practices the Thunder Punishment Fist, and when she throws a punch, faint arcs of lightning dance across her fist; Shu'er practices the Mysterious Water Fist, and her movements are smooth, fluid, and continuous; Xin'er practices the Divine Flame Fist, and each punch she throws carries a scorching wave of air, which even distorts the air itself.

Cai Xuan discovered that their boxing techniques were almost all tailor-made for them.

For example, Xi'er was born with a Vajra body and boundless divine power, so the Demon Subduing Fist she obtained was fierce and domineering, with wide and sweeping movements, and every punch was a real crushing force; Yun'er cultivated thunder magic, and her body was full of thunder energy, so she obtained the Punishing Thunder Fist, and the fist technique and thunder magic complemented each other, doubling the power; Shu'er was born with the divine ability to control water, and the water element power in her body was pure and profound, so she obtained the Profound Water Fist, which uses softness to overcome hardness and is continuous; Xin'er was born with the divine ability to control fire, and the fire element power in her body was blazing and surging, so she obtained the Divine Flame Fist, which was fierce and domineering, and the fist force was like fire.

As for Cai Xuan, he benefited from their good fortune and obtained four sets of boxing techniques.

These four boxing styles each have different focuses and distinct styles.

For a moment, Cai Xuan didn't know which style to practice first. After thinking about it, he decided to forget about it and focus on mastering his Crane Fist first. He understood the principle of not trying to do too much at once.
