Martial Arts Crossover: I am the strongest demonic monk of Tianlong Temple

"Even if it's a second- or third-rate technique, you can still get several hundred martial arts points by collecting it yourself."

However, despite the complaints, this action did save him the trouble of searching for valuable martial arts techniques.

Ok?

Chen Mo's gaze was quickly drawn to a blue-covered ancient book on the middle shelf.

The inscription above is written in Sanskrit: "Mahayana Prajna Palm".

A glint flashed in his eyes; this was one of the three ultimate demon-suppressing techniques of Nalanda Monastery in India.

It is also one of the 72 unique skills of Shaolin Temple, and is known as the treasure of the temple.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have acquired the ultimate martial art, "Mahayana Prajna Palm," and gained 6000 martial arts points.]

"6000 points? Not bad, a great start!"

"I wonder if the scripture library of the Great Wheel Temple has collected all three of the Great Demon-Suppressing Techniques of Nalanda Temple?"

Chen Mo flipped through it casually, put "Mahayana Prajna Palm" back on the bookshelf, and picked up a book next to it called "Vajra Subduing Demon Circle".

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have acquired the ultimate martial art, "Vajra Subduing Demon Circle," and gained 5000 martial arts points.]

"Very good, continue!"

He then flipped to "The Great Monument Slayer" and "Great Wisdom Without Fixed Fingers"...

Every time a book is turned to, the system will sound a notification that martial arts skills have been added, and the martial arts points will increase at a visible speed.

3500、4000、5000、3000、3200、5200……

In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, his martial arts points had already soared from over nine thousand to over forty thousand.

"As expected, the scripture library of Dalun Temple is so much better than that of Tianlong Temple!"

Chen Mo was overjoyed.

The old monks hidden in the shadows noticed his movements and frowned.

What is this kid doing? He only flips through a few pages of each martial arts manual and that's it?

Outside the Sutra Repository.

Bai Yu, Liao Chen, and Liao Yuan rushed over and overheard the elders and disciples of Da Lun Temple discussing in hushed tones.

"Master, why did the Myo-o bring that brat from the Dragon Temple into our Great Wheel Temple's scripture pavilion?"

"Hahaha, that kid made a bet with the Ming King, saying that he has the best comprehension in the world and can master a martial art in a day."

"what?"

"This young man is indeed ignorant of his own limitations. How can a mere teenager like him think he can comprehend the secret techniques of my Great Wheel Temple in a day?"

"That's utterly delusional!"

"The ultimate techniques of my Great Wheel Temple, let alone a day, even if you give that kid three years, I don't know if he can even grasp a little bit of them!"

"Hmph, I heard that kid's strength comes from eating rare and precious herbs."

"That's right, I think so too. Otherwise, how could someone have such strength at such a young age?"

"Just wait and see, this kid will probably come to his senses soon!"

"..."

Bai Yu was very unhappy to hear these taunts. He clenched his fists and was about to step forward to argue when Liao Chen stopped him.

"Junior brother, don't be impulsive."

Liao Chen lowered his voice, "There's no point in arguing with them now. When our master comes out, he'll naturally slap them in the face."

Liaoyuan nodded and said, "Yes, all we need to do now is wait for our martial uncle to come out."

The three of them remained silent, sitting cross-legged in the square outside the Sutra Repository.

Inside the Sutra Repository, Chen Mo had just finished reading the last book, "The Great Kasyapa's Aura Shield," when a system notification sounded in his mind again.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have acquired the ultimate martial art, "Great Kasyapa Qi Shield," and gained 5800 martial arts points.]

Current Martial Arts Points: 74600

"Cool!"

He stretched and yawned. This trip to the Great Wheel Temple's Sutra Repository had actually earned him more than 60,000 martial arts points, which was a huge profit!

He took the book "Mahakasyapa's Aura" in his hand and found a futon by the window to sit down.

"If you're going to act, then act properly."

Chen Mo placed the Great Kasyapa Qi Shield in front of him, "It's time to let these bumpkins experience what it means to have heaven-defying comprehension!"

Begin to comprehend this martial arts technique!

This scene was also witnessed by several old monks who were secretly monitoring the situation.

One of the old monks flashed away and silently left the scripture pavilion.

He approached the King of Wisdom, Kumārajīva, and said, “King of Wisdom, that boy has chosen the ‘Great Kasyapa Aura Shield’.”

"The Great Kasyapa Aura Shield?"

Upon hearing this, King Kumārajīva couldn't help but show a hint of surprise in his eyes.

To be honest, this ultimate skill is very powerful. If mastered, it can be said to provide invincible defense, but it is also very difficult to cultivate.

Even he spent months trying to learn the basics but failed, and eventually had to give up.

Chapter 22 The Ultimate Technique of Combining Offense and Defense

Inside the library, time ticked by, minute by minute.

Chen Mo sat cross-legged on the futon, his mind completely immersed in the profound meaning expounded between the lines of the ultimate technique.

This "Great Kasyapa Aura Shield" is a fusion of the formless divine power and the great power of Prajna in Buddhism.

When stationary, it forms a unified air shield, leaving the enemy no opening to exploit; its range can be large or small.

It can travel from several feet or even several meters away, or it can adhere to the body at close range, depending on the practitioner's skill.

If gathered in the palm, it can be unleashed with the power to shatter mountains and split peaks, displaying unparalleled might.

It can be said that this is a protective skill that combines offense and defense.

Most martial artists who obtain this secret manual would need to scrutinize it word by word and ponder it deeply.

If you have high comprehension, it may take a year or two to grasp the basics.

Those with poor comprehension.

Oh, right, someone with poor comprehension simply can't grasp this ultimate skill.

But who is Chen Mo? His extraordinary talent and comprehension are not just empty words; they have long surpassed the norm.

He simply read through the entire manual, and its essence flowed into his mind like a clear spring.

Numerous key points, energy circulation routes, and so on, were automatically disassembled, combined, and deduced in his mind.

Those obscure Sanskrit terms and meridian diagrams seemed to transform into the most intuitive manifestation of Taoist principles in his eyes.

The term "Kasyapa" means "drinker of light," signifying a tranquil mind that contains all dharmas.

"This protective shield doesn't rely on brute force to withstand attacks, but rather uses stillness to control movement and softness to overcome hardness, absorbing, dispersing, and neutralizing external forces like light and shadow..."

In the blink of an eye, a glint of wisdom seemed to flash in Chen Mo's eyes.

In less than half an hour, he had grasped the essence of the entire manual.

Even the minor stumbling blocks that might have occurred due to copying were automatically filled in and optimized by his extraordinary comprehension.

Then, he slowly closed his eyes, and the Nirvana True Qi within his body began to circulate according to the method he had already comprehended.

An invisible aura suddenly emanated from Chen Mo's body, and a faint golden halo seemed to flash around him.

Beneath the skin, a sense of resilience subtly emerges.

All these changes happened in the blink of an eye, and with remarkable subtlety.

"what?!"

The old monk, who was secretly monitoring, seemed to notice a very subtle fluctuation in the direction where Chen Mo was.

When he looked closely, he saw that Chen Mo was still in the same position, as if the abnormal fluctuations just now were an illusion.

"Is it the wind? Or..."

The old monk frowned but didn't delve too deeply into it.

At this moment, Chen Mo remained seated with his eyes closed, continuing to guide the true energy within his body along the meridian pathways of the "Great Kasyapa Qi Shield".

Two hours later.

The old monks in the shadows never completely took their eyes off Chen Mo.

"This kid has good willpower; he can sit still for so long."

An old monk secretly transmitted his voice, his tone carrying a hint of appreciation.

The other person shook his head, "While his concentration is good, forcing himself to comprehend things like this may not be a blessing."

"The contents of this 'Great Kasyapa's Aura Shield' are obscure, and the diagrams are even more complex, comparable to a celestial book."

"Even if the King of Light were to observe it, he would become dizzy and mentally exhausted within an hour."

"If you force yourself to immerse yourself in it, it is easy to damage your mind and spirit. In severe cases, you may even go astray and damage your foundation."

He paused, then continued, "I think this kid is at his last gasp, just holding on by sheer willpower."

"Young man, you're too competitive and don't know when to back down!"

The other old monks nodded secretly, agreeing wholeheartedly.

It seems that they, the Oowaraji Temple, have won this bet!

Just then.

Chen Mo suddenly opened his eyes, his face showing a look of extreme frustration, as if he were completely trapped by some problem and had reached a bottleneck.
