Republic of China Era: Entering the Dao through Divine Strike.

Let alone the current environment.

Even in my past life.

There was someone around me who was a good fighter, who killed corrupt officials, and who also stood up for those around him.

At most, they'd just say something like, "Take care, sir," or "Heroes never die."

There are verbal expressions of admiration, but most of them are just following the crowd.

There's no such thing as admiration and trust. It's not even as good as a pretty boy celebrity who can inspire genuine trust and respect from the world.

It's already quite good if you don't think of those kinds of people as fools.

What people say and what they think are always two different things.

Everyone is criticizing celebrities for making money, officials for embezzling, and capitalists for exploitation.

Deep down, how many people actually want to be like them?

"This shows how prestigious the title of Martial Arts Champion is."

"In a way, I am actually a kind of unconventional 'star' in this era. Not because I have done anything of great benefit to the country and the people."

No matter how many good deeds or great things an ordinary person does, it doesn't matter.

It's nothing more than a joke.

However, the martial arts champion did even the smallest thing.

That would be enough to write a book and a biography, to be written about in great detail.

It's not that he's so great, but that I want to become like him.

This is the root of trust.

My current situation is like a clay Buddha statue that has been coated with a layer of gold.

Even if that layer of golden light is just made from molten copper and isn't actually that precious, in those minds that have been washed with wisdom for thousands or hundreds of years, it's still impressive and worthy of respect.

"Not to mention the physical improvement that has naturally occurred over the past three months through medication and cultivation, there are as many as 5 points of golden true faith contributed by everyone in the garden."

In addition, there are the two golden points given to me by Hongxiu and my master today.

7 points of true faith, plus 384 points of pale red. That brings the total faith to 45.4.

Once a single attribute reaches 40 points, each subsequent point requires 8 points of Faith, increasing the cost significantly.

A mask of pain appeared on Li Xin's face as he let out a long sigh.

He thought to himself that he wasn't afraid, as he had earned enough money.

flower.

The higher you go, the more the wondrous effects of the spirit become apparent.

Then let's first improve our spirit and unlock the [Third Prince's Divine Will Level], striving to acquire another powerful secret technique as quickly as possible.

The higher the level of divine intent, the more supernatural the secret techniques become. Unlocking a good secret technique might just be the trump card for protecting one's path to immortality.

Without the slightest hesitation, Li Xin's mind stirred.

Add 40 points of Faith to [Spirit], and Spirit will immediately increase by 5 points (46.1).

hum!

A clear, cool, and subtle vibration quietly exploded deep within my mind.

The pure, gentle, and harmless primal power instantly washed over his limbs, bones, and mind, leaving him feeling refreshed and invigorated.

A slight tingling and itching sensation between his brows gradually made the originally hazy, faint, and unstable divine light and shadow become clear, solid, stable, and substantial.

Just as the layers of mist covering the sea of ​​consciousness were lifted, a clear and pure halo spread across the entire spiritual platform, and the primal power that had been dormant deep within the body slowly awakened and surged.

The moment Li Xin opened his eyes, the world he saw had completely changed.

The clarity of the field of vision increased several times over, reaching an extremely clear state.

Every tiny speck of dust floating in the air, its slow, drifting trajectory, the subtle changes in light and shadow, and the patterns of air movement—all of it is clearly visible and perfectly accurate.

By introspecting one's own meridians and dantian, the speed of qi flow, the trajectory of qi and blood circulation, the rise and fall of true qi in the dantian, and the subtle changes in the texture and meridians are all clearly visible.

Even with his eyes completely closed, he could accurately sense every rustle of wind and movement within a radius of 300 meters.

He could perceive every subtle movement and hidden change: the breathing of pedestrians, the rise and fall of footsteps, the whispers of people, the movement of air, the chirping of insects, and the falling of leaves.

The permanent skill "Void Reflection" has been fully upgraded, enabling a 300-meter range of seamless scanning, allowing you to control everything from virtual and real movements to hidden dangers.

Along with this surge, his thinking speed, reaction ability, insight, and physical perception also experienced a comprehensive leap and qualitative improvement.

Pure spiritual energy can extend several meters outside the body, forming a delicate and invisible aura that can subtly interfere with the minute things around it, with precise control, effortless execution, and perfect order.

With a gentle thought, Li Xin instantly pushed aside the rising and swirling warm steam around him, causing the delicate flower petals floating in the bathtub to scatter neatly in all directions. The force was gentle and mild, yet precise and controllable, with perfect proportions.

My whole body felt refreshed, light, and free. The fatigue and tension that had accumulated over the past few days completely dissipated, and my mind became exceptionally clear, calm, and undisturbed.

He focused his mind, brought up his complete status panel, and carefully examined every change in himself, word by word:

Name: Li Xin

Age: 12/150

[Constitution: 41.3] Talents: (Critical Strike, Energy Regeneration, Health Regeneration)

[Agility: 40.2] Talents: (Swiftness, Quick Hands, Phantom)

[Spirit: 46.1] Talents: (Psychic, Mysticism, Inner Vision)

[Martial Arts: Divine Strike. Exclusive Guardian General (Nezha, the Third Prince, Divine Intent Level 23%, Secret Techniques: Three Heads and Six Arms, Permanent Void Reflection, Secret Techniques: Swift Wind and Fire)]

(Erlang Zhenjun, Divine Intent Level 2, 16%, Secret Techniques: Eight-Nine Transformations, Ruyi True Body Permanent Residence. Secret Technique: Heavenly Eye.)

(The Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Divine Will Level 2, 8%, Secret Technique: Floating Clouds Obscuring the Moon, Illusory Flowing Light Perpetually, Secret Technique: Thousand Pounds)

The embryonic form of the true essence of Taoist arts: the character "生" (life/birth).

Taoist Restriction: [Sharpness] Level 1

[Confidence: 5.7]

Faith arises from love, and the mind is boundless.

After reviewing the complete panel, Li Xin had a clear understanding of his current strengths, weaknesses, and shortcomings.

Currently, his mental attribute is approaching 50, already firmly over halfway, which is probably quite unique among the martial artists in the capital.

Apart from the Western Sect and the Great Snow Mountain, there shouldn't be anyone in the martial arts world with this level of spiritual power.

That's more than enough.

[Constitution] During this period, I did not use any Faith Points to increase my constitution; I only took [Da Yang Yuan Tang] and gradually increased it.

It took three months to raise his score to just over 41 points, and his physique became even more powerful and domineering, which was to be expected.

As long as there is enough medicine from the previous year.

My physical condition can continue to improve.

Although it's slower, it's steadily improving, and it's much better than that of ordinary martial artists.

Li Xin didn't know why he could keep absorbing the medicinal power and making progress.

Others can't.

He guessed that this was probably a boost to his faith power, which would enhance his innate physical attributes and make his potential extremely profound.

This is the real reason for distancing oneself from others.

After reaching 40 points in [Constitution], another talent, [Health Recovery], will appear.

Li Xin tried it and immediately understood that this was the ability to restore the physical body.

It's even slightly better than [Recovery].

Especially when paired with new characters.

After being injured, one can usually recover in the time it takes to breathe. As long as one is not killed immediately, even if one's heart is pierced through, one should not die.

"What talent!"

Overjoyed, Li Xin then looked at [Agility].

Over the course of three months, I added a few points to this attribute, reaching 40 points. The resulting talent was also quite useful.

【Phantom】Skill.

When the speed reaches a certain level, this skill is activated.

The level of deception is simply extraordinary.

This "phantom" can not only fight like a real person, but also has a certain degree of lethality.

Even if it is not attacked, there will be several breaths of time.

Previously, cannons roared and machine guns fired.

The Germans, including Hans, thought they had hit Li Xin.

In reality, what they hit was just a phantom left on the roof.

Li Xin left the place early on.

We entered the alley.

In this situation.

Even if you washed the entire house white, it wouldn't do you any good.

……

Its strength is steadily improving.

Li Xin was satisfied with this rate of improvement.

Unfortunately, the divine will of the three guardian generals is stuck at the exclusive advancement ceremony, and there is no possibility of a breakthrough for the time being.

To advance from the second to the third level of Nezha's third prince cultivation, one needs to complete the exclusive "Havoc in the Sea" ritual. At least there is a clear direction for advancement, allowing one to slowly explore and gradually prepare.

Erlang Zhenjun's "Breaking the Formation" ritual is vague, ethereal, and utterly clueless, offering no leads whatsoever for reference or exploration.

As for the Great Sage Equaling Heaven's advancement to "Breaking Through Mount Ling," he was completely at a loss and had no chance of even touching it in the short term.

He temporarily suppressed the idea of ​​rapid advancement and breakthrough, no longer dwelling on the improvement of his divine will, and focused all his attention on the depths of his dantian, carefully comprehending the innate true qi that had just been born.

The internal strength cultivated through arduous training in the past was always superficial and shallow, with an unstable foundation. It only had a rudimentary tendency and was simply unable to withstand high-intensity, high-stakes continuous combat.

But at this moment, a wisp of pale golden cloud flowed through his dantian and meridians. It was light, pure, warm, and refined, moving and flowing at will. With a thought, the true energy could reach any part of his body's muscles and meridians in an instant, at an extremely fast speed.

The only drawback is that the total amount of true qi is too thin, as fine as a hair, and extremely small in volume. It is too weak to even support a complete cycle of qi circulation.

Li Xin's fingertips trembled slightly, and the golden true energy condensed in his dantian instantly gathered at his fingertips, condensed but not released, pure and restrained.

He casually flicked his finger, and the true energy from his fingertip landed on the wrought iron lock cylinder of the bathroom door.

puff.

A soft, clear, crisp sound rang out as the hard, thick wrought iron lock core was precisely pierced by the innate true energy, leaving a smooth, round, and transparent small hole. Fine metal powder fell off and drifted gently down.

Yet, with such a seemingly casual and unassuming flick of the finger, one-tenth of the innate true energy accumulated in his body was directly depleted, his dantian was instantly emptied, and his foundation was drastically reduced.

The self-healing speed of innate true qi is extremely rapid. In just one breath, the depleted true qi is completely restored.

However, the cost of cultivation is quite obvious. The body's qi and blood are instantly depleted, and an extreme feeling of hunger sweeps through the body. The internal organs feel empty and unbearably weak, and the person is extremely tired and weak.

Li Xin frowned slightly, truly experiencing the difficulty of cultivating the Innate Realm, which was hundreds or thousands of times more difficult than the Mortal Transformation Realm or the Peak Acquired Realm.

Now that the Dharma-ending Age has fully arrived, there is not a trace of free spiritual energy in the world for martial artists to absorb and cultivate. The path of cultivation for everyone in the world has been firmly shackled and blocked layer by layer.

Every wisp of innate true energy in the world must rely on its own flesh, blood, and essence to be tempered and transformed little by little.

It takes a hundred parts of the body's essence to condense into one part of vital energy, and a hundred parts of vital energy to condense into a wisp of true energy. It is a process of being tempered and refined, one in ten thousand, and the difficulty is extremely absurd.

At this moment, he finally understood the true sinister intention behind the previous dynasty's severing of the dragon veins of the world.

On the surface, the former imperial family severed the dragon vein, consolidated imperial power, and prevented rebellions in the martial arts world, but in reality, they cut off the extraordinary path for hundreds of millions of people.

They forcibly locked everyone's cultivation limit at the mortal realm, preventing anyone from transcending the mundane and breaking through the shackles.

With just a wisp of innate true energy, his lifespan skyrocketed to one hundred and fifty years.
