Chapter 95: One Hundred Thousand Martial Arts
The martial arts that Li Ye needs to collect seem vast, but in reality.
They are truly very vast.
All the martial arts in Shenzhou, from high school to martial arts school, from university to private collections, the quantity is too great, and each martial art is different.
Golden Bell Shield and Iron Shirt are both hardening techniques, and both are internal training of a breath of qi and external training of muscles, bones, and skin, but the former emphasizes a breath of qi, while the latter emphasizes muscles, bones, and skin.
Water Walking and Grass on Flying are both lightness skills, and both emphasize borrowing force and sustainability, but the former emphasizes borrowing force more, while the latter is more sustainable.
If all of these are needed, it’s too many; adding up the whole world, there are probably several million.
Even if the word count is minimal, there’s still a thousand-character length, plus videos; by the time he finishes reading them, he might have graduated from university.
So some that are too similar are automatically filtered out, but he doesn’t need to worry about this; Sun Shun has taken over this task.
All kinds, carefully selected, a total of one hundred thousand books selected for Li Ye.
Besides those native to Shenzhou, there are also those from other countries.
Dongying’s [New Yin Flow Great Saber], Gaoli’s [White Plume Breaking Arrow Hand], Boluo’s [Ganges Wheel Turning Skill], Persia’s [Great Desert String Moon Saber], Ross’s [Ice Bear Crushing Kill Skill].
East Asia to West Europe, South Seas to North Frontier, martial arts from all places, all in hand.
Old Man Wang also transmitted the martial arts over, twenty books of high-level martial arts, and one martial art that directly connects to Divine Movement, Five Senses, and Soul Fixing.
[Flowing Shadow Severing Heaven Scripture].
All connect to the three passes, but they definitely emphasize different things; Pan Zhengyang’s martial art emphasizes weapons, that is, emphasizes Po Jun a bit more.
Li Ye’s Twelve Golden Palace Dragon Tiger Gate actually emphasizes Vajra a bit more.
This [Flowing Shadow Severing Heaven Scripture] emphasizes Divine Movement more.
After practicing it, one can move at high speed to form afterimages to confuse the enemy; the Divine Movement Pass direction is named ‘Ninefold Shadow Transformation’.
At the same time, the honed five senses allow the user not to lose the target in high speed, and even predict, weaving a precise net in high-speed movement.
Five Senses Pass direction, named ‘Weaving Fate Web’.
And the Soul Fixing form is also different from [Sui Pass Calamity Heart]’s igniting heart fire; instead, it emphasizes calmness and meticulous judgment, a mindset of facing blades and axes without changing expression, thereby making inner judgment as cold and precise as a machine.
It is named ‘Severing Heaven’s Mechanism’.
Similarly, like other top-tier martial arts, it also has special requirements.
This martial art emphasizes IQ!
To be precise, it emphasizes the emotional indifference brought by high IQ.
Not the kind that’s cold on the outside but dramatic on the inside, but true emotional indifference; the higher the IQ, the more one can see through principles in everything, the better one can practice this martial art.
Li Ye completely cannot learn it.
Although there is a circulation energy route, Divine Movement is easy to practice, but it can’t be practiced piecemeal, right.
Then he might as well learn high-level martial arts; the single power of top-tier martial arts does not surpass high-level martial arts that break through the mysterious pass in a single aspect—those are complete sets to begin with.
But no problem, he has a cheat!
Heart realm not good, talent will make up for it!
Previously at Hulong Palace, using pollution to elevate talent was already enough for him to learn high-level martial arts.
But this bit is still not enough; he wants to elevate it to the point where top-tier martial arts can be easily mastered, even to the level of understanding at a glance, mastering in a moment, and perfecting upon practice—no matter what special requirements, they are no problem before his talent.
Thinking this, Li Ye poured all the remaining absorbed pollution into elevating talent, and quantified it according to this standard.
Benefiting from the precise control of authority, Li Ye converted the talent he envisioned into intuitive data.
[Talent: 20/100]
With one hundred as the peak of talent, he threw all the pollution in and only reached one fifth; currently, it’s just enough to learn high-level martial arts a bit faster and barely able to practice [Flowing Shadow Severing Heaven Scripture].
“Still far from enough; that yaksa and the condensed pollution only gave a total of twenty points.”
Li Ye sighed, but he wasn’t anxious; he first made a phone call to Sun Shun, then took out a white paper and stamped it with Hulong Palace’s golden seal. When Sun Shun arrived, he handed him the stamped paper.
“Take my order to my fiefdom, then catch aquatic products from the lake and send them to my courtyard house.”
The golden seal is a token and cannot be given lightly; this thing has no blood recognition— whoever holds it is the master.
But to let others enter, either the master brings them, or stamp a seal; the holder of the seal can also open the fiefdom once.
The aquatic products inside Li Ye has seen, they grow very well; opening the fiefdom once can make them mutate.
Besides those naturally produced by the lake, if really necessary, ordinary aquatic products can be bought and passed through the water, tainted with the fiefdom’s aura, forcibly mutated, though this will accelerate the fiefdom’s consumption until it enters cooldown.
Normally, Li Ye’s lake has an annual yield of ten thousand tons; if extracted cyclically, it can ensure production every year, but now Li Ye wants to take them all out at once, so further catching would have to wait until next year.
But he’s not selling for money, no need to consider so much; it’s purely for his own consumption.
In addition, the Disinfection Bureau itself has the duty to exterminate demonic creatures.
Ningjiang City is not as peaceful as imagined; even if those troublemaking gangs are suppressed, the Disinfection Bureau’s daily work doesn’t change.
These past few days it was Huang Qingyi running around, he’s about to explode from busyness; before new people arrive, he has to suffer a bit more.
But recently other departments have also been mobilized, barely maintaining.
He should also move.
Taking out his mobile phone and opening the disinfection app, Li Ye scrolled down and started searching for traces of demonic creatures.
Matters are divided by urgency; the most emergency ones have been prioritized, the rest haven’t erupted yet; some confirmed to have demonic creatures just await manpower to resolve.
For example, the ‘Blood Saber Fiend’ that Li Ye is now handling.
A kind of demonic creature formed from a knife that has accumulated pollution over years; when appearing, it’s often accompanied by rust marks, which gradually form a humanoid figure, then wields a weapon for a killing spree; in ancient times it often appeared on executioners’ and butchers’ knives, and it still exists in modern times.
In a pig slaughterer’s home in North City District, there is one; this was a voluntary report—he discovered a few days ago that his knife was rusting; normally he’d just grind it or throw it away and buy a new one, but this knife had been with him for years and he was used to it, so he planned to regrind it.
But no matter how he ground it, the rust wouldn’t come off, so he simply put it away as a memento; but from that day on, every night in his dreams, he would see a headless person holding a butcher knife standing at his bedside, raising the knife to chop.
For several days in a row, he felt he was haunted by a demonic creature, so he reported it.
The Information Section judged it to be Blood Saber Fiend, but it’s still far from forming, plus it’s a lesser demon, so the matter isn’t prioritized.
Before forming, at most it causes nightmares, but it can’t be thrown away—throwing it accelerates formation, so it can only be left like this for now.
Perfectly caught by Li Ye.
He also knows how to deal with this kind of demonic creature; in ancient times, black dog blood and raw eggs were used to directly break the fiend, in modern times it’s powerful rust removal, then ultrasonic waves to disperse the fiendish energy.
Or bullets to penetrate and gunpowder to explode through, or a martial artist who can shatter gold and break stone to forcibly interrupt.
Li Ye is more direct; after taking the knife from the butcher’s home, he went to a secluded place, threw the knife down, and waited for it to form.
Just two hours, the Blood Saber Fiend formed; the rust accumulated on the blade increasingly, forming a headless rust man, holding a pig-killing knife in hand; with one swing, it drew a red line on Li Ye’s neck, about to sever his neck along the red line.
Clang!
But as soon as the blade chopped down, it stopped at his neck, unable to advance an inch.
Li Ye just watched the rust man like this; this kind of demonic creature has no intelligence, no thinking ability beyond attacking the person in front of it.
“Ha!”
Li Ye opened his mouth and shouted, Thunder Sound activated, shaking the rust man all over; immediately after, an extremely strong suction emanated from his mouth, sucking all the rust powder into it.
Leaving only a pig-killing knife whose blade had become shiny.
The demonic creature entered his mouth, first boosting his qi and blood, then converting the pollution to pure qi, continuing to elevate talent.
[Talent: 20.1/100]
“Too little.”
Li Ye shook his head.
This isn’t even that kind of naturally mutated demonic creature, it’s a pollution-type demonic creature, and it only gave 0.1.
At this rate, he’d have to take down eight hundred demonic creatures to formally start martial arts training.
But before that, he can go through all those martial arts first; no need to mention progress, the important thing is to learn them first, which facilitates later derivation.
Can’t rush it.
