I am Jinshan Youxia

Zhang Chengyi responded with a relaxed smile, "Of course someone has practiced it, they just aren't in this world anymore."

The physical constitution and internal strength of humans in the world of martial arts novels are all ambiguous, but the spiritual level is highly unified. This is a small test he conducted. Some martial arts in the martial arts world can reflect from the spirit to reality, while others tend to touch the spirit from reality. The kind of Hong Kong comics that are so outrageous have more reference value.

He studied the bodies of many people around the world, balanced the mind and reality, and then combined them to create a highly compatible cultivation method.

After repeatedly testing the human creation function on the other side of the light sphere, it was confirmed with absolute certainty that as long as the body has meridians, acupoints, and internal energy, his cultivation technique can function normally. Only then was it brought to the Tianlong World.

Without internal energy from meridians and acupoints, there's not much that can be done. Zhang Chengyi is still conducting different experiments in various different worlds to figure out a completely universal method for becoming stronger.

It's not that he's incapable; it's simply a matter of world and species differences. The differences between people in different worlds are even greater than the differences between a paramecium and a human. The road to creating a universal method for becoming stronger is still very long.

"..."

Su Xinghe didn't ask any more questions and continued reading with his head down. There was still a lot of content after the Sword Nourishing Form, about how to circulate internal energy and what special effects it would have, how to use incantations and acupoint-closing techniques to isolate the influence of the prematurely growing inner demons, and so on, which made up a large stack of papers.

The content is very concise, with no mysterious or esoteric elements to interpret. It explains in simple terms how to practice, what the results can be, and how to handle unexpected situations.

There's no way around it; the light spheres in the Main God Space have the ability to create humans, making them an invaluable pool of guinea pigs for developing cultivation techniques. Their advantage is simply too great.

With such advantages, Zhang Chengyi still needs some brains and ideas to innovate, but it's easy to put together what he's already learned. At most, he can test it a hundred or two hundred times. You know what micro-management is, right?

He patiently watched Su Xinghe finish reading all the content and asked, "Well, is there any problem?"

"The techniques of martial arts are truly unparalleled."

Su Xinghe sighed, "This technique is so detailed and informative. It clearly describes the effects of internal energy circulation through each acupoint and how it works when combined with other acupoints."

Once this technique is revealed, even an ordinary person who learns it can create their own technique.

This means that if you don't have any further ideas or thoughts on martial arts techniques, you don't need to look at the other martial arts techniques after reading this far.

Chapter 136 Split into Two Groups

Time flies when you're in Wutai County.

Zhang Chengyi practices martial arts every day, ponders what room for improvement there is in the martial arts he created, gives guidance to Su Xinghe, and also asks Shenshan to tell him about the past events in the martial arts world.

Before he knew it, another month and a half had passed. Just when he was about to leave for the Song capital, Wu Yazi arrived with Li Anu and an acquaintance, looking travel-worn.

"Uncle Zhang."

"A familiar face," said the monk Huiming, bowing. He had changed; he was no longer bald, but had a full head of thick, black hair tied up, and wore a wide-sleeved scholar's robe, giving him the look of a handsome middle-aged man.

It took Zhang Chengyi a few seconds to recognize the monk, who used to have such delicious roast pork. He was a little surprised and asked, "You've returned to secular life?"

Huiming looked ashamed.

Li Anu, standing next to him, looked somewhat downcast, lost in thought.

“Let me tell you,” Wu Yazi stepped forward and said, “Back then, after the fire at Leigu Mountain, Bao Qianling and Huiming tried to investigate the truth and discovered that they had connections with Xiao Feng’s army, so they joined the army to gather information.”

"More than ten years ago, Bao Qianling seemed to have discovered something. The Song court sent people to arrive, and then Xiao Feng disappeared along with Bao Qianling."

“Li Anu discovered that some ‘kings’ had dealings with the Song court, so he went on a killing spree. The reason we haven’t been able to return for so long is because we’ve been chasing after the army in the west.”

"Are you the expert who was besieged by the army?" Zhang Chengyi asked.

Li Anu nodded, pursing his lips and saying nothing. He had failed to fulfill his benefactor's orders and was too ashamed to come and see him.

Zhang Chengyi thought for a moment and said, "That's not right, Huiming. You and Bao Qianling went to the Western Regions to investigate the matter. Why did he find out that something had disappeared, but you didn't know anything about the inside story?"

Upon hearing this, Huiming felt even more ashamed and lowered his head in silence.

Wu Yazi showed a helpless expression and said, "Back then, Bao Qianling got married and had four daughters. Huiming married Bao's eldest daughter, and the two of them had no contact after that."

"Aha?"

Zhang Chengyi was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "No, he treats you like a brother, and you slept with his daughter? That's awesome."

Huiming blushed deeply, but refused to utter a single word in defense. He couldn't bring himself to say anything about how the eldest daughter of the Bao family had seduced him first, or that he had been forced to leave the monastic life and marry.

Wu Yazi and Su Xinghe also laughed.

“Alright.” Zhang Chengyi stood up, clapped his hands, and said, “Since many things are related to the Song court, let’s set off for Bianliang immediately.”

“Young friend, there’s one more thing,” Wu Yazi said hurriedly. “The families of Bao Qianling and Huiming are currently imprisoned. Is it possible…”

"Even with your abilities, you can't save them?" Zhang Chengyi asked.

Wu Yazi shook his head, "Xiao Yuanshan's strength is astonishing, and I am no match for him."

"Oh right, and Xiao Yuanshan too." Zhang Chengyi suddenly thought of this person, and then said, "Wait a minute, Xiao Feng is missing, why would Xiao Yuanshan ignore it and even target you who found the information?"

No one can provide the answer.

"Old Su, Shenshan, you two go with them."

Zhang Chengyi assigned the personnel. Su Xinghe, who had learned new martial arts, was already no less powerful than Wu Yazi. Shenshan was a level above Wu Yazi. With these people as a team, rescuing people should not be a problem.

"Uncle Zhang, what would you like—"

"Me? Of course I'm going to the capital alone."

-------------------------------------

Although more than 30 years have passed, Zhang Chengyi had just visited Bianliang a few months ago, so he knew the place like the back of his hand.

The original flying technique used true qi to ascend into the air, which consumed a great deal of energy and could not increase speed. It was only suitable for 99% of people and was only for show or emergencies. Now, with spiritual energy supporting the body and separating the air, the flight speed has been greatly increased.

Zhang Chengyi exerted all his strength and arrived in Bianliang City, which had not changed much in more than 30 years, in just a few minutes.

After all, it's only a little over 300 kilometers, which isn't far for someone who can fly and travel underground; it's no different from going out for a short stroll.

More than 30 years ago, he could reach subsonic speeds by charging on the ground at full speed. Now, with such a significant improvement and flying in the air, breaking the sound barrier is a piece of cake.

"I feel that the Central Plains area is a bit too small and crowded."

Zhang Chengyi landed on the roof of an unnamed building in the palace. He was a little worried. At such a close distance, wouldn't his fighting power be so great that everything would be destroyed?

If possible, it would be best to expand it.

Thoughts flashed through his mind, but he didn't think too much about it. He glanced at the three eunuchs who had landed not far away and casually said, "Go and tell your emperor that the wandering knights of Jinshan have come to visit."

"Take him down!" the old eunuch in the middle shouted shrilly.

Two young eunuchs, around ten years old, trembled slightly and then disappeared from the spot.

The fact that no afterimage appeared proves that it's not just about speed; it also involves techniques to eliminate light and conceal one's presence.

Zhang Chengyi took a deep breath, circulated his internal energy, and the modifier directly adjusted the percentage of metallization in his body to eighty percent. In the blink of an eye, even his clothes turned golden.

"Clang, clang, clang!" The claws of two eunuchs poked at his clothes, making a metallic clanging sound. Then, the claws tried to tear at them, making a sound like fingernails scraping a blackboard.

"Go away!"

Zhang Chengyi couldn't stand the sound, so he waved his hand and sent the two eunuchs flying. In mid-air, they vomited a lot of blood and fragments of internal organs, their bodies were completely deformed, and their spines were forced through their backs by the wind, revealing their white bones. Before they even hit the ground, they were gone.

"Squeak~" He stretched his body, a smile appearing on his golden face, and apologized insincerely: "Sorry, this is my first time using this transformation, I'm not very familiar with it yet."

The slight tingling sensation quickly dissipated at the spots where the two eunuchs had poked them.

With a way to skip class, everyone started using the "Inner Demon Possession" attack. Coincidentally, during the battle with the Divine Mountain, Zhang Chengyi discovered that the metallic properties could greatly slow down the speed of the inner demon invasion and could ignore most inner demon possession attacks.

He won't have to worry about being annoyed in melee combat anymore; he can just activate invulnerability.

The others at Qingliang Temple had to be like gold-devouring beasts, consuming and digesting little by little. His method was much simpler. With a simple modification, he quickly mastered the Arhat Golden Body Technique, which proved incredibly useful in actual combat.

The old eunuch's face was gloomy, and he said in a shrill voice, "Zhang Chengyi, the wandering knight of Jinshan, I remember you."

"Oh," Zhang Chengyi responded in a comical tone, then asked, "Who are you?"

"never mind."

He gathered his strength slightly, and with his inner energy, he swung his stiff arm toward the tall building in the distance.

Shaped with spiritual energy and compressed with brute force, it flew out as a semi-transparent blade of air with a hiss, silently severing the magnificent upper half of the building.

"boom!"

"There are some things I don't want to repeat a second time."

Zhang Chengyi took a step forward, and the roof beneath his feet made a cracking sound as it collapsed.

Chapter 137 Behind the Scenes and on the Stage

In a secluded side hall deep within the Song Dynasty imperial palace.

"Brother, disaster has struck! Disaster has struck!"

The current emperor, Zhao Ji, stumbled in, shouting in a panic.

The previous emperor, Zhao Xu, who had been dead for many years, stood with his hands behind his back, gazing out the window at the distant roar and explosions.

"Hahahaha! Awesome!" Zhang Chengyi's unrestrained laughter rang out as dozens of imperial guards, secretly trained by the royal family, were pierced by a golden light and their limbs flew through the air.

Several delicate-faced, red-lipped, white-toothed 'women' dressed as eunuchs were scattered around, flicking ice needles in their hands.

The clanging of steel striking metal was incessant.

"Useless, useless, useless!"

Zhang Chengyi didn't even bother to pay attention. The ice needles that could easily pierce steel couldn't even get through those thin eyelids. He casually snapped off a pillar and threw it over, and the building and the person were crushed together.

His excessively heavy body prevented him from gaining any advantage in speed over the eunuch who had practiced the Sunflower Manual, but the absolute defensive nature of his golden body also made it impossible for him to break through.

The final result appears to be that Zhang Chengyi is being besieged by hundreds of people in the palace, but in reality, he is constantly satisfying this Jinshan wandering knight's pleasure of fighting with his own flesh and blood.

Even though he had no interest in martial arts and was being nurtured with the best resources, Zhao Ji could still see that it was only a matter of time before the palace guards and eunuchs were all killed.

The battle continues.

"Brother, brother, what should we do? Perhaps we should..."

Zhao Ji reached out and tried to pull Zhao Xu. When he was only a teenager, after that incident in the palace, his elder brother, who was then the emperor, brought him to the palace to be trained. He was initially overjoyed, but after he ascended the throne, he learned that his brother had faked his death and was secretly controlling him, which made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

After all these years, he had long been content to be a puppet emperor, but he never expected that someone would once again storm the palace and wreak havoc—

Wasn't that how it was back then?

Zhao Ji may have been spoiled, but he's not stupid. He secretly investigated what happened back then, and now that history is repeating itself, he thought that with his elder brother in charge, the madmen outside would surely be brought to justice. Who would have thought that his brother would calmly watch and let those painstakingly trained experts be slaughtered? Could it be...?

Thinking of this, he stopped, took a few steps back, looked at his brother who remained unresponsive, and said, "Brother, did you foresee this day?"

"nature."
