Chapter 74 Evolution of Life
As the group approached, they could still faintly sense a powerful aura emanating from the corpse; this was the saying, "Even in death, the tiger's might remains."
What caught Huang Hong's attention was the blue glow emanating from the corpse.
Without hesitation, Huang Hong approached and immediately used his decomposition ability.
Acquired talent affix: Hundred-Refined Body
A Body Forged Through Hundred Refinements: Only through countless trials and tribulations can true gold be forged. The efficiency of physical enhancement is greatly accelerated, and as physical fitness improves, its effectiveness also increases accordingly.
At the same time, Xie Juxia seemed to sense something and frowned as he looked at the Grandmaster's corpse.
A person nearby asked, "Master Xie, is there a problem?"
Xie Juxia carefully examined the Grandmaster's corpse for a moment. He vaguely sensed something was wrong. At his level of strength, he had absolute confidence in himself and did not believe that his senses were wrong. However, if asked to pinpoint what was wrong, he could not say.
Shaking his head, Xie Juxia said, "No, it's nothing."
Next, Master Xie introduced the two sides.
This made Huang Hong realize that the person standing next to Xie Juxia was Xie Shichang, the Marquis of Junnan, the ruler of this region.
Later, Huang Hong also learned from Xing Yu that this Marquis of the Southern County, Xie Shichang, and Xie Juxia were distant relatives.
While Huang Hong was sizing up the group of people with the Marquis, he was also the focus of attention of the others. After all, his status as Xie Juxia's closed-door disciple was enough to make everyone look at him with more respect.
Next came the discussion of rewarding those who had contributed and the social drinking. Huang Hong wasn't interested in this, so after dealing with some people, he took the opportunity to slip away.
Xie Juxia saw it, but didn't take it seriously.
Two days later, Xie Juxia finally finished all his business, bid farewell to the Marquis, and then returned to the Flowing Cloud Fist headquarters with Huang Hong. Everyone else had their own things to do, so they dispersed and left in advance.
Huang Hong was not idle these past two days. He spent time in the military camp and witnessed many martial arts techniques focused on battlefield combat.
This type of martial art is characterized by its ruthlessness and coldness, without any fancy moves; it goes straight for the vital points.
There was no rush on their way back, so they took their time, stopping frequently. In their spare time, Xie Juxia would test Huang Hong's martial arts skills and give him targeted guidance.
As Xie Juxia recounted his story, Huang Hong gained a deeper understanding of martial arts.
A martial arts master can be described as a level of skill or a state of martial arts mastery.
It is not that a martial artist whose basic attributes reach 9 points is called a martial arts master, but only after refining martial arts into one's internal organs can one's basic attributes break through to 9 points.
Of course, the above only applies to ordinary martial artists. The martial arts world is never short of geniuses with exceptional talent. Some people are born with superhuman strength, and some people have special physiques. These are all beings who break through conventional limitations.
Above the martial arts master is the grandmaster realm, and the grandmaster has gradually broken away from the traditional martial arts category and begun to move in a non-human direction.
To become a master, one must first comprehend one's own "intention." A true dragon cannot be raised in shallow water; without a strong physique, one does not even have the foundation to give birth to "intention."
Therefore, if a martial arts master wants to become a grandmaster, he must go a step further on the basis of tempering his internal organs, that is, tempering his bone marrow.
In fact, whether it's tempering the internal organs or refining the bone marrow, it's a long and arduous process for ordinary martial artists, and cannot be accomplished overnight.
However, Huang Hong looked at his constitution attribute, which had reached 12 points, and a whole bunch of top-tier training methods, and fell into deep thought.
Given his qualifications, he is absolutely capable of comprehending "intention". So the question is, what is "intention"?
In response to Huang Hong's question, Xie Juxia gave a somewhat vague answer: "A martial artist's 'intention' is the philosophy they practice. When you understand why you throw a punch, you have found your own 'intention'."
These words made Huang Hong fall into deep thought. In fact, he wanted to say that he understood why he threw punches, which was to survive. But upon closer reflection, it seemed to be just a reason, rather than a belief.
Five days later, the two arrived at the headquarters of the Flowing Cloud Fist. Looking at the huge library of the school's collection of books, Huang Hong temporarily put aside his thoughts on 'intention'.
However, before he could immerse himself in the ocean of knowledge, there was something even more important to do: formally become an apprentice.
As the sect leader and a martial arts master, Xie Juxia could not possibly accept a closed-door disciple so casually. This was not only related to himself, but also to the Flowing Cloud Fist.
This time, Xie Juxia brought Huang Hong back to Liuyun Fist to make up for the apprenticeship banquet and to announce it to the world.
Preparations for this matter had already begun before the separation of BeiDou.
And so another three days passed in a lively and bustling manner. Although Huang Hong found the apprenticeship banquet a bit cumbersome, it was still quite interesting.
After the storm had passed, Huang Hong began his serious study. Every day, besides listening to Master Xie talk about the way of martial arts and sparring with his fellow disciples in the school, he spent almost all his remaining time in the library.
As time passed and knowledge accumulated, martial arts in Huang Hong's mind was no longer an abstract concept, but transformed into a three-dimensional, majestic sacred mountain.
In the beginning, this "sacred mountain" was just a pile of bricks, stones and sand, but with continuous sedimentation, the "sacred mountain" gradually became solid and tough, the unstable foundation was filled in, and it began to radiate a dazzling brilliance.
And so, a month passed in the blink of an eye, and now there were only forty days left before they could escape the echo of time and space.
Huang Hong slowly opened his eyes. At that moment, his eyes shone with a genuine light that illuminated the closed, quiet room.
At this moment, Huang Hong exuded a majestic and imposing aura, truly resembling a divine mountain standing firm and unshakable.
He slowly suppressed his aura and looked at his extraordinary panel...
Strength: 10, Agility: 10, Constitution: 14, Intelligence: 10
A physique of 14 points is an unimaginable level for martial artists in this world.
A powerful physique leads to an improvement in martial arts, which in turn affects strength and agility, thus enhancing these two fundamental attributes.
In addition, his internal organs and bone marrow have also made remarkable progress. Although it is not reflected on the extraordinary panel, Huang Hong can clearly sense that the enhancement of his physical body in these two aspects is greater than he imagined.
The internal organs are known as the source of qi and blood; the bone marrow is known as the root of essence and blood.
The internal organs include the five viscera and six bowels. The former are responsible for storing essence without leakage, and transforming and storing qi and blood essence; the latter are responsible for transmitting and transforming without storing, and are responsible for digestion, transmission and excretion.
Bone marrow, the brain is called the sea of marrow, and the bone marrow in the spinal cord and bones together constitute the storage reservoir of "innate essence".
These two elements encompass the complete functioning of life.
Martial arts is the path of life's evolution!
