From being plagued by all kinds of diseases to becoming a powerful martial arts demon god!

Inside the laboratory.

Li Minglang continued to explain the origin of the Vajra Eight Forms to Jiang Heng.

The origin of the Candlelight Breathing Technique is unknown; it is only known that it was developed by a senior in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, more than 150 years ago.

This "Eight Forms of Vajra" was honed and practiced by a senior named Yuan Jingang during wartime.

Back then, this senior fought his way up from physical level zero to level four during the war in southern East Asia, creating the "Vajra Series Martial Arts," of which the "Eight Forms of Vajra" is the foundation.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Heng's mind stirred.

"Does this mean there are even higher-level martial arts techniques in the same series above the Vajra Eight Forms?"

Li Minglang nodded:

"That's right, the Vajra Eight Forms is just a basic martial art. The advanced martial art is the White Ape Six Forms, and the professional-level martial art is called the Crippled Ape Three Forms."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Heng's lips twitched slightly.

It's bad enough that the number of moves is decreasing, but why does the name seem to be getting weaker and weaker...?

From "King Kong" to "White Ape" and then to "Crippled Ape," will the next step be "Dead Ape"?

Li Minglang saw through his thoughts and smiled, saying, "You're right, that's exactly the case."

It is said that when Yuan Jingang was at the first level of physical cultivation, he was 2.2 meters tall, like an iron tower, and called himself Jingang (King Kong).

However, after reaching the second level of physical body, various injuries and diseases accumulated on his body, his back became bent, and he no longer had the upright figure he once had, so he called himself the White Ape.

Once his physical body reached level three, the injuries sustained in the war and the diseases brought about by his martial arts training began to severely erode his body.

To outsiders, he appeared to be old and frail, with little time left to live, so he called himself the Crippled Ape.

That's why these martial arts styles have their names.

But don't be fooled by the increasingly weak names of the moves; their actual power is becoming more and more ferocious.

Yuan Jingang, who reached level three in physical strength and called himself the Crippled Ape, was truly the number one person at level three in physical strength in the southern battlefield.

Even among professional-level martial arts worldwide, the "Three Forms of the Crippled Ape" belongs to the most powerful tier!

Jiang Heng nodded thoughtfully, indicating that he understood, and then asked:

"The Three Forms of the Crippled Ape are only professional-level martial arts. What about the top-tier martial arts above that in this series?"

Li Minglang shook his head:

"The last top-level martial art in the Vajra series is said to have been comprehended by Senior Yuan Jingang when he was still at the fourth level of physical strength during the Battle of Baoshan, when he faced a Shan State person at the fifth level of physical strength."

On the verge of death, he comprehended this top-level martial art, annihilated his enemy in one fell swoop, and broke through to the fifth level of physical body.

This top-tier martial art is so difficult to master that it is virtually impossible to replicate.

Therefore, it was not circulated and was not included in the armory of the General Bureau of Military Security.

At this point, Li Minglang smiled.

"However, if you have the opportunity to meet Senior Yuan Jingang in the future, you might be able to learn this top-notch martial art from him."

Jiang Heng was slightly startled and asked in surprise, "This senior is still alive?"

Li Minglang nodded:

"That's right. When you break through from level four to level five of physical body, you will undergo a life evolution, be reborn, and have your lifespan extended to two hundred years."

If one breaks through from level eight to level nine of physical body, one will undergo another life evolution, and lifespan will increase significantly once again.

It is said that eighty years ago, this senior's physical body level had already broken through to level nine, and he even entered the Heavenly Gate to cultivate.

If nothing unexpected happens, he is definitely still alive, but we don't know where he is.

However, this senior's hometown is in Nanjiang City, so if you're really lucky, you might still have a chance to bump into him.

Jiang Heng nodded slowly.

He knew that martial artists had long lifespans, but he didn't expect it to be this long.

He pondered Li Minglang's words silently, then noticed the words "Tianmen".

Did that senior Yuan Jingang enter the Heavenly Gate?

He asked with some curiosity, "Professor Li, what exactly is behind the Heavenly Gate?"

Since that enormous celestial gate appeared over Australia two hundred years ago, the entire world has undergone a series of changes.

But even after searching through all the information online, Jiang Heng still couldn't figure out what was behind Tianmen.

This information has clearly been hidden by the coalition government.

Li Minglang pondered for a moment and slowly replied:

"The Heavenly Gate... is very complex. It holds a great crisis that could destroy humanity, yet it is also the goal of human life's evolution."

Immortality for ten thousand years, physical bodies shattering into stars—no matter how incomprehensible the power, it can all be achieved behind the Heavenly Gate…

However, Tianmen is still too far away for you right now, so you don't need to worry.

If you cannot break through to the fifth level of physical cultivation, everything within the Heavenly Gate will be irrelevant to you.

After saying that, Li Minglang stood up and walked to a culture chamber.

"Alright, enough chit-chat, let's get started."

"You now lie down in this cultivation chamber. I will activate it, guide and stimulate the Qi within your body, and help you learn the Vajra Eight Forms."

Jiang Heng nodded, then lay down in the incubation chamber, where soft padding quickly enveloped his body.

The hatch slowly closed, and a screen appeared in front of him.

Then, Li Minglang operated the screen outside the culture chamber for a while, and the entire culture chamber immediately lit up and emitted a low mechanical sound.

Jiang Heng immediately felt that the soft pads around him were emanating a faint but strange mysterious energy that permeated into his body.

It flows through flesh and blood along a certain trajectory.

At the same time, the screen in front of him lit up, showing a 3D human figure posing in various ways, with a red line moving along a certain trajectory inside his body.

Li Minglang began by saying:

"Feel this energy flowing through your body, remember its trajectory, and connect it with the actions on the screen."

This instrument burns money every second it spins, so you only have half an hour to memorize and comprehend it.

If you don't remember this feeling within this half hour, you've lost this opportunity.

Jiang Heng nodded silently inside the incubation chamber.

He then immediately focused his mind, observing the screen in front of him while simultaneously sensing the flow of Qi within his body.

Regarding his memory, he is still confident that he is no less capable than other martial artists.

During the period when he was taking his own homemade medications, many of them had an impact on his brain.

After undergoing the [Pathogenic Erosion] transformation, his memory and thinking speed are now much stronger than before.

Time passed slowly, and half an hour quickly went by.

"Buzz—"

The hatch of the incubation chamber slowly opened.

Jiang Heng sat up and walked out, his body radiating heat.

He looked relaxed and moved his body slightly, as if he had just had a full-body massage.
