At this moment, shatter the dimensional barrier

Currently, there are many extraordinary individuals claiming to be the true lineage of Bajiquan, and four of them have reached the fourth level. They are all vying for this title, and if a hero of Bajiquan were to appear, then the title of true lineage of Bajiquan would undoubtedly be confirmed.

The lineage of martial arts in the Xia Kingdom is inherently ambiguous. To prove one's lineage, one can only rely on contemporary users. After all, there is no first in literature, but there is no second in martial arts. There is only one true lineage, and all others are unorthodox.

"It's quite a coincidence that Master Li happens to be here. I wonder how excited he'll be to meet the ancestor from the parallel world." The middle-aged man smiled.

The government has very loose control over superhumans in the civilian sector. Currently, the government only issues overall management guidelines for each province and city, and sends some core governing personnel. As for other matters such as public security, the superhumans themselves manage everything very well without official intervention.

Even city security doesn't require deploying force; simply issuing 'city commissions' is enough. Superhumans will compete to complete them, and sometimes, when a city is too safe, they will even take on commissions from other cities.

Currently, even the most basic city-level commission requires several extraordinary individuals to compete for it.

"Hey, the place where it fell looks like the martial arts school opened by Master Li." Master Sanzang pointed to the now dim blue meteor.

"It seems so," the middle-aged man said in surprise.

At this moment, on a corner of the city's wide main road, an antique building stands with a huge plaque on it that reads "Li Family Eight Extremes Authentic Lineage".

"what!"

"drink!"

At this moment, shouts and cheers were coming from the martial arts school. Young boys and girls of fourteen or fifteen years old were wearing blue training clothes and practicing standing stances, punching and punching the basic movements of Bajiquan.

The young men and women were staring with fervent eyes at the headmaster, who stood with his hands behind his back.

The authentic Li-style Bajiquan martial arts school has dozens of branches across the country, and the headmaster is Master Li Shuying, who ranks among the top martial arts associations and is among the top 100 extraordinary individuals in the country. He became a fourth-level extraordinary individual in his early twenties.

Master Li would regularly visit each branch to impart the essence of Bajiquan, which was also the most enthusiastic time for each student.

After all, they are fourth-tier extraordinary beings. There are only a little over a hundred such individuals in the entire Xia Kingdom, which has a population of over one billion, and only a few in each province.

“Bajiquan, also known as ‘Open Door Bajiquan’.” Li Shuying looked sharply at these apprentices who weren’t even second-tier superhumans. She clenched her fist and threw a punch. ‘Tear!’ The air in front of her fist exploded with a piercing sound.

"That is, to open the enemy's 'gate' and then launch a fierce attack, aiming for a powerful strike that directly targets the enemy's vitals."

“Every basic movement lays the foundation for the eight ultimate moves of Bajiquan.”

"Every move of Bajiquan is incredibly powerful and can often defeat enemies of higher levels when used by lower-level extraordinary beings."

"These eight ultimate moves are: Yama's Three Points, Tiger Climbing the Mountain, Facing the Door Without Hesitation, Overlord Breaking the Reins, Facing the Wind and Sun, Opening the Door Left and Right, Oriole Embracing the Claws, and Standing on the Ground and Reaching the Sky.

"During the late Qing Dynasty, my ancestor Li Shuwen was already invincible with just half of the Fierce Tiger Climbing the Mountain move, and even killed Japanese martial artists who dared not utter a sound."

"Now I will demonstrate these eight killer moves to you one by one. Pay close attention... Hmm?" Li Shuying's expression changed and she looked up instantly.

A blue shooting star was seen falling towards her martial arts gym.

"Oh! A shooting star! Look! It's falling this way!"

"Yeah, it's blue!"

The apprentices looked up and exclaimed. Although the meteor was falling towards them, they were not nervous at all. After all, Master Li, whom they believed could cause a nuclear explosion with a single punch, was here. A mere meteor was nothing to be nervous about. On the contrary, they were looking forward to seeing Master Li unleash his fury and shatter the meteor.

Some people had already excitedly pulled out their phones.

"Energy block? Fourth-order... no, peak fourth-order... no, it vaguely feels like fifth-order." Li Shuying's expression changed slightly, and her face twitched instantly. A fifth-order energy block, this level of energy block is used to assemble in space service stations, right?

Did an energy cube accidentally fall out of a space station?

However, she wasn't worried. It was just an energy block, not a fifth-tier weapon attack. As long as it didn't cause an energy reaction, the energy block wouldn't explode.

"Hiss~" Li Shuying took a deep breath, and in an instant, she released the power of the fourth level. The artistic conception of martial arts spread, and with a stomp of her foot, she tore through the air like a cannonball and rushed towards the meteor.

roar~

A gigantic, ten-meter-tall phantom tiger enveloped her, and she soared into the sky like a winged white tiger.

[A fierce tiger climbs the mountain!] The spirited shouts resounded.

"Wow—" the apprentices exclaimed excitedly.

Meanwhile, amidst the blue meteor falling through the atmosphere, the humanoid figure's light and shadow quickly returned to normal. He was dressed in a red training uniform, his red hair was neatly tied back, and he was slender, but his eyes were particularly sharp, like a tiger poised to pounce.

"Finally out. What happened before? How did I get sucked into the spacetime rift without anyone noticing?"

As Li Shuwen watched the city grow larger and larger, before he could figure out how to land without dying instantly, his Servant form began to strengthen, and a strange power surged continuously within his body.

"This is... um??? The transformation of Weiye? What's going on?" Li Shuwen was completely confused. He had just forcibly descended to the final singularity to fight Goetia, and now he had been inexplicably transferred into the atmosphere.

They also inexplicably gained enhancements, and as a Servant, they could obtain external energy to maintain their existence without needing a Master. Moreover, their Noble Phantasm and martial arts seemed to be able to be unleashed to the maximum extent.

Before he could think it through, he felt a familiar aura rushing towards him like the ocean. He looked over instantly and saw a huge, fierce tiger with piercing eyes and a white forehead leaping down from the ground.

As a martial artist whose skills have reached the pinnacle and who has achieved perfect harmony with nature, he could tell what it was at a glance.

"This is actually 'Tiger Climbing the Mountain', which has reached an extremely high level of fist intent!" Li Shuwen was not surprised at all, but extremely excited.

His most proficient Bajiquan killing move is "Fierce Tiger Climbing the Mountain," and he is undoubtedly the first person to use this move, with no one before or since. After becoming a Heroic Spirit, it was directly transformed into a Noble Phantasm.

This extremely high level of skill is very close to his level, but it is only in terms of technique. The user himself lacks the martial arts realm of 'unity of heaven and man' and 'interplay of yin and yang'.

"To expend such a massive amount of energy to unleash this move, focusing on destructive power while neglecting the refinement of one's own intent." Li Shuwen nodded, the continuous energy generated within his body was enough for him to unleash such a burst of power.

Any Servant who acquires a sufficiently large amount of energy can unleash unimaginable destructive power from their ingenuity and strength.

Therefore, what Servants worry about most is not having enough energy, because if they don't have enough energy, they can't even activate their Noble Phantasms.

"Let me teach you what it means to be a 'fierce tiger climbing a mountain'!" Li Shuwen instantly unleashed the power surging within him, using a technique that had been elevated to a treasure.

roar----

A crimson tiger, over a hundred meters long, appeared out of thin air. The tearing of the air seemed to be the tiger's phantom roaring, and even a large area of ​​space seemed to echo it.

"What!!!" Li Shuying was completely stunned. Just a moment ago it was a blue meteor, how could it suddenly unleash such a massive amount of fire elemental power! And it even displayed a 'Tiger Climbing the Mountain' technique that was far more powerful than hers!

"Not an energy block! It's! It's! A fifth-tier transcendent being!!!"

Moreover, he was a fifth-level transcendent who had reached the pinnacle of Bajiquan!

"Oh no! They think I'm provoking them!" Li Shuying's expression changed drastically. The opponent's martial arts level of 'Tiger Climbing the Mountain' was far higher than hers, and it was even at the fifth level. She had no chance of taking it down. If she was lucky, she would only suffer some injuries, but if she was unlucky, she would be half-dead in one blow.

roar----

Two tigers, one large and one small, collided in mid-air. In a brief moment, the smaller tiger was torn apart, and a storm of air-tearing exploded instantly, like a small tactical nuclear bomb exploding, with the shockwave spreading visibly.

boom----

The shockwave affected an entire city block, but because the explosion was so high, the shockwave hitting the buildings was like being hit by a strong gust of wind; the glass wouldn't even shatter.

The building materials used to construct cities nowadays all possess some extraordinary properties, and most ordinary people are also awakened beings. Therefore, even if a real nuclear bomb were to fall on a city, the damage would not be nearly as terrible as in the old days.

Li Shuying was struck down like a meteorite, crashing straight towards the martial arts gym.

The apprentices stared in disbelief at the sudden turn of events, completely unable to react. Fortunately, Li Shuying fell far away from the apprentices.

Boom! Rumble, rumble—

One of the martial arts school buildings was destroyed, the hard ground was torn apart, and a large amount of soil and stones were thrown out. The fragments exploded like a shower of flowers, flying in all directions.

Seeing this, the martial arts instructors scrambled to protect their students and deflect the falling debris.

The martial arts instructors were all Level 2 or above extraordinary individuals, while the branch master was Level 3. They all managed to block the aftershocks without any serious damage.

"Headmaster!!!" The coaches rushed in panic towards the spot where Li Shuying had fallen after they finished.

"Cough cough cough..." Li Shuying coughed, her face pale, as she climbed out of the pit. Blood trickled from the corner of her mouth. "Luckily, that senior held back, or I would have been dead."

Before the coaches could even reach her, a thin, red figure crashed down, the shockwave sending them flying.

"what……"

"Ahem." Li Shuying quickly made a defensive stance, her sharp eyes looking at the figure that had landed ten steps away from her: "Senior, I didn't mean to provoke you just now, but I thought you were a falling energy block. Please forgive my rudeness."

A fifth-tier early-stage extraordinary being... or a martial artist? When did they advance? How come I haven't received any news about it?

Li Shuying felt a pang of bitterness. Something was wrong. There were only so many martial artists at the peak of the fourth rank in Xia Kingdom, and she knew them all. She didn't know this one at all.

Could it be from an alternate universe?

"Hmm, not bad. You've mastered the essence of Bajiquan, but your understanding of martial arts is still insufficient." Li Shuwen looked down at Li Shuying and said, his eyes full of satisfaction for the newcomer. He hadn't expected that there would be someone besides him who had mastered Bajiquan, and a female boxer at that.

"Thank you for your guidance, senior. I don't know your name." Li Shuying wiped the red from the corner of her mouth and clasped her hands in a fist salute. She saw a higher level of Bajiquan in the man in front of her who looked to be in his thirties.

This is the realm she envisioned.

"My name is Li Shuwen," Li Shuwen said.

"What?" Li Shuying was dumbfounded: "What's your name, senior?"

"It seems you've heard of my name. That's right, I am none other than Li Shuwen, known in the martial arts world as 'Li Shuwen, the unparalleled master of the Fist and the Divine Spear.'" Li Shuwen proudly stood with his hands behind his back. His half-move 'Tiger Climbing the Mountain' had made him invincible in the martial arts world, and no one dared to let him use the second half. His Bajiquan and Liuhe Spear had killed so many Japanese samurai that no one dared to utter a sound. He believed that he had achieved something unprecedented.

"Huh???" Li Shuying snapped out of her daze, her cheek twitching. "Is Senior teasing me to cheer me up?"

“Li Shuwen was my great-grandfather, and I am the seventh-generation successor of Li-style Bajiquan.”

"Hmm?" Li Shuwen's expression froze upon hearing this. He looked around and saw that the architectural style was very modern, even somewhat futuristic. Could this be the future world?

Thinking of this, he moved and appeared in front of Li Shuying in an instant. Li Shuying felt the pressure coming at her and immediately became furious, but before her body could react, her wrist was grabbed and an invisible force was transmitted to her body, and she instantly lost the ability to resist.

This is the locking force of Bajiquan, which directly locks the opponent's body movements, making the opponent unable to move.

"It really is my descendant. Although there are slight differences, it is indeed my descendant." Li Shuwen was surprised. As a martial artist who had reached the pinnacle of martial arts, and now a follower, he had the ability to sense the faint connection of his own bloodline.

"Huh?" Li Shuying also felt a faint, magical connection, which made her instinctively feel inexplicable emotions towards the man in front of her.

"Haha, very good. I was wondering why a female boxer had learned Bajiquan to this extent. It turns out she's my descendant. Very good, very good." Li Shuwen released Li Shuying's wrist and proudly patted her shoulder: "It seems that you have a good inheritance of my Bajiquan."

"You, you, you, you, you..." Li Shuying stared in disbelief at Li Shuwen, who was laughing heartily, her voice stammering, "You, you are really my great-grandfather? You, you're not dead?"

Her great-grandfather is definitely dead. Although the location of his grave is unknown, there are still some old guys from the same era as her great-grandfather who are over a hundred years old and still alive. They all attended her great-grandfather's funeral.

Moreover, if my great-grandfather was an extraordinary person, it would have been common knowledge in the old era. Why would it have been the case that World War II would have happened in Xia Country?

"To be precise, I did die." Li Shuwen crossed his arms. "You are indeed my descendant, and the blood connection cannot be faked, but there are still some subtle differences. This world should be different from the one I live in."

"A parallel world!" Li Shuying's eyes lit up: "You're the great-grandfather of a parallel world!"

"Parallel worlds? You could say that." Li Shuwen nodded. He had been instilled with some common sense by humanity after arriving at the Final Singularity.

"My God! My great-grandfather from the parallel world was actually a fifth-tier superhuman!" Li Shuying was so excited she wanted to jump up. A fifth-tier superhuman!

My great-grandfather was born in 1866, so he is not even two hundred years old now. As we all know, a fifth-order transcendent has a lifespan of about five hundred years, which means that my great-grandfather still has more than half of his life left.

“Although I don’t quite understand how this world works, it’s quite different from what you understand.” Li Shuwen frowned slightly; he was completely bewildered.

"Grandpa, let me tell you slowly," Li Shuying said excitedly. People from parallel worlds don't really know the situation in the main world.

She never imagined that she would meet her great-grandfather from a parallel world in her lifetime, and that her great-grandfather would become a fifth-order transcendent being.
