Chinese Martial Arts: My Super Beast Clone

After receiving the command, the dragon lizard stopped chasing the blue shadow that was flitting up and down, and instead turned around and crawled towards the bird's nest.

The blue-feathered sparrow didn't react at first and was still cautiously looking around from a distant branch.

But when the dragon-snake lizard's large mouth approached the edge of the nest, lowered its head, and opened its mouth towards the three pale blue eggs...

"Chirp!"

A piercing scream tore through the night sky.

The blue-feathered bird seemed to have gone mad, its feathers bristling, its wings flapping rapidly, as it charged straight at the back of the dragon-snake lizard's head.

This time, it fought desperately.

Its sharp beak, carrying a gust of wind, pierced straight towards the back of the dragon lizard's neck.

This was precisely the opportunity Lin Hai had been waiting for.

The dragon-snake lizard suddenly turned its head.

This bite was quick and precise.

Before the blue-feathered bird could change direction, its entire body was bitten in one bite. The dragon-snake lizard snapped its jaws shut, crushing the bird's body and swallowing it whole.

In the courtyard, Lin Hai let out a long breath, his back already covered in a thin layer of sweat. Even though he was only observing and directing through a mental link, the tension he felt was no less than if he were personally on the front lines.

On the other end of the spiritual connection, the dragon-snake lizard lay motionless on a tree branch.

A surge of heat began to spread from its abdomen, as if it had swallowed a ball of fire, flowing through its blood vessels to every part of its body. The dragon-snake lizard's muscles trembled slightly, and the skin beneath its scales gleamed with a dark red sheen, a sign of accelerated blood flow.

It is absorbing the energy of the treasure beast that it has swallowed.

Lin Hai could feel the energy surging within the dragon-snake lizard's body through the connection; it was warm, long, and profound.

Unlike the faint feedback that the dragon lizard usually gives after hunting wild animals, this energy is dozens of times stronger.

The treasure beast truly lives up to its name.

With a thought, he brought up the attribute panel.

A pale blue light screen appeared before my eyes, with numbers on it jumping around before gradually stabilizing.

Name: Lin Hai

Physical Strength: 5.5

【Spirit: 5.2】

Strength: 640 jin (approximately 84,000 catties)

Martial Arts: Tiger-Taming Stance (Beginner), Tiger-Taming Fist (Beginner)

【Soul Clone: ​​Dragon-Snake Lizard (Evolution Level 32/100)】

[Spiritual Essence: 8]

Lin Hai stared at the panel for a long time.

体魄从4.5直接跳到了5.5，整整增加了一点。力量从550斤涨到640斤，增长了将近一百斤。龙蛇蜥的进化度更是从21蹿到了32，一口气涨了十一点。

A single small treasure beast can provide the energy equivalent of dozens of wild animals.

But what really caught his attention was the new attribute that appeared at the very bottom of the panel.

Spiritual Essence: 8.

What is this?

Lin Hai stared at those two words for a long time. This item had never appeared on the previous panel; it was added after he devoured the treasure beast.

Spiritual essence?

"Is it that special essence unique to the treasure beast's body?"

He had a vague guess that this "spiritual essence" might be something more advanced than simple energy, but he didn't know how to use it yet.

After swallowing the Blue Feathered Sparrow, the Dragon-Snake Lizard did not leave the old tree.

After absorbing the energy of the Blue Feathered Sparrow, its gaze fell on the three pale blue eggs in the nest.

The dragon-snake lizard lowered its head, opened its mouth, and swallowed a bird egg.

The sound of the eggshell cracking came through the mental connection. Soon, another surge of heat rose from his abdomen. Although it was not as intense as the Azure Feather Sparrow's own heat, it was still clearly perceptible.

The numbers on the panel jumped.

Evolution level: 34. Spiritual essence: 9.

The second one.

Evolution level: 36. Spiritual essence: 10.

The moment the third one entered his stomach, his evolution level jumped to 38, and his spiritual essence became 11.

Just as Lin Hai was about to close the panel, he suddenly noticed a change.

After "Tiger Crouching Stance (Beginner)" and "Tiger Crouching Fist (Beginner)," there is a small plus sign.

He stared at the two plus signs for several seconds.

"Can I add more?"

The moment the thought crossed his mind, Lin Hai's heart skipped a beat. He took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and began to ponder the matter.

Does this mean that reaching a certain level of spiritual energy will upgrade a martial art?

Two plus signs are placed in front of me: the Tiger-Taming Stance and the Tiger-Taming Fist Technique.

Lin Hai thought for a moment, his mind focusing on the plus sign after the Tiger Subduing Fist Technique.

His reason for choosing boxing was simple: stance training was fundamental, but boxing was what he needed to improve most at this stage. Lu Zhengchuan had said that cultivating strength was the process of building a foundation, and the foundation had three stages. The first stage, Yi Jin, was to transform clumsy strength into integrated power.

The more proficient one becomes in the Tiger Subduing Fist, the closer one gets to achieving integrated power.

The moment the plus sign lit up, Lin Hai's consciousness suddenly went haywire.

My vision blurred for a moment, and then a figure appeared before me.

The figure assumed the stances of the Tiger-Taming Fist and began practicing the moves one after another. The figure's silhouette was exactly the same as Lin Hai's, but his movements were many times faster.

The Twelve Forms of Tiger Subduing Fist, from the first to the twelfth, are repeated one after another, as if on fast-forward. Each repetition is smoother, more compact, and more powerful than the last. His fist technique is constantly being corrected, honed, and refined through rapid repetition.

It felt as if several months had passed in those few seconds.

The screen disappeared.

Lin Hai came to his senses and found himself still standing in the courtyard, with nothing changed.

But the sensations in my body were completely different.

He raised his right fist and slowly threw a punch.

The moment his fist shot out, he felt the difference. Power surged from within him, flowing smoothly through his waist, back, and shoulders, down to his fist, as fluid as water flowing in a stream.

Is this what they call whole-body strength?

Lin Hai looked at the control panel.

Name: Lin Hai

Physical Strength: 6.5

【Spirit: 5.2】

Strength: 740 jin (approximately 84,000 catties)

Martial Arts: Tiger-Taming Stance (Beginner), Tiger-Taming Fist (Advanced)

【Soul Clone: ​​Dragon-Snake Lizard (Evolution Level 38/100)】

[Spiritual Essence: 1]

He went from being a beginner to a proficient practitioner of the Tiger Subduing Fist.

The spiritual energy decreased from 11 to 1, consuming 10 points.

Physique increased by 1 point, and Strength increased by 100 jin.

Upgrading martial arts skills directly leads to an increase in attributes.

This discovery left Lin Hai standing there stunned for quite a while.

Master Lu Zhengchuan once said that training depends on talent, but even more so on daily practice. After entering the basics of Tiger Subduing Fist, it takes a normal disciple at least three to five months to become proficient, while those with poor aptitude may not be able to hold out for even one or two years.

And he did it overnight.

The price was merely that the dragon-snake-lizard hunted down a treasure beast, plus three bird eggs.

Lin Hai took a deep breath, suppressing his turbulent emotions.

He now knows a shortcut.

A cultivation path that belongs only to him.

The dragon-snake lizard hunts ordinary wild animals in the wilderness, providing a meager amount of energy for its slow growth. Treasure beasts, however, are different. A single palm-sized blue-feathered bird is equivalent to dozens of wild animals. Furthermore, the spiritual essence condensed within those treasure beasts can be directly used to enhance one's martial arts level.

Hunt down treasure beasts to grow stronger, acquire spiritual energy, and upgrade your martial arts.

This is his future path of cultivation.

Lin Hai looked up at the sky; the moon was already setting in the west, and most of the night was over. He put his thoughts aside, turned around, and went back inside.

He gave the dragon-snake lizard a new instruction through a mental link: from now on, when roaming the wilderness, finding treasure beasts should be his top priority.

The dragon lizard gave a clear response.

There was a hint of eager excitement in that response.

Clearly, the Blue Feathered Sparrow had also found its taste delicious.
