Chapter 2 Heart, Body, Qi, and Power
"Brother Chu, Yue Lao San is very skilled in martial arts. When we meet him, as long as you hold him off for a while, I will take Mu girl and run away quickly. You must not fight him." Duan Yu was still restless on the way.
The deer man of Chu pretended to be shocked and looked at him, which made Duan Yu feel creepy.
"So you want me to deal with him? Am I not responsible for carrying the luggage?" Chu Lu Ren discovered that the tone was like that of a prehistoric beast.
Duan Yu almost fell off his horse: "Brother Chu, don't be ridiculous. Only you can stop him. Although I have a family background in martial arts, I have never liked martial arts since I was a child... You know all this!"
After spending more than half a month together, Duan Yu had some understanding of Brother Chu's eccentric personality.
"Whoa..." Chu Lu Ren held the horse.
Duan Yu saw this and had to pull his horse back: "Brother Chu, what's wrong with you?"
“Then I feel that we still need to make a long-term plan…” Chu Lu Ren had been obsessed with One Finger Zen before, and now he was in a difficult situation.
"Brother Chu, in fact, Yue Lao San is not that strong. When you saved me before, didn't you defeat Zuo Zimu? Although Taoist Zuo's character is a bit bad, he is also the head of a sect with hundreds of disciples. I think Brother Chu's martial arts..."
Chu Lu Ren was incredulous. He didn't expect Duan Yu to be so stunned by the things in the martial arts world. "Brother Duan, you are mistaken, right? What does the level of martial arts have to do with the number of people under your command? According to you, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty could fly with a sword, the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty could leave his body, and the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty could move mountains and fill the sea? Besides, Yue Lao San is known as the Crocodile God of the South China Sea. He is also a master in the South China Sea, much stronger than the Wuliang Sword Sect!"
Zuo Zimu was unknown on the chivalrous list. After all, the Wuliang Sword Sect was located in the southwest, on the border between Song court and Dali, which was a relatively remote place where martial arts were concerned. In terms of martial arts... unless Zuo Zimu had more "explosive points" and stood at the forefront of some major hot event, he would have a chance to be listed on the local list.
According to the rules of the Chivalrous List, the Heaven and Earth Lists are for the masters of the martial arts world, the Xuan List is for the imperial court, and the Huang List, also known as the Human List, is for young knights who are just starting out. So people like Zuo Zimu, who are neither high nor low and have no popularity, are not on the list at all.
And the South Sea Crocodile God Yue Lao San...
This kind of guy who has a bad reputation in the martial arts world and has defected to Western Xia is naturally not exclusive to the No. 1 Village in the World, but if we really talk about martial arts, he is much stronger than Zuo Zimu!
Duan Yu actually wants Chu Lu Ren to deal with Yue Lao San. Wow, what a young prince.
"Yue Lao San is so powerful? He is even comparable to my father? What should I do?" After learning from Chu Lu Ren, Duan Yu finally realized Yue Lao San's status in the martial arts world.
"Brother Duan, don't worry. I have three plans that can save Miss Mu!" At this moment, Chu Lu Ren was possessed by Zhuge Liang.
"Which three strategies?" Duan Yu seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw.
"Let me tell you the plan first. I will be responsible for carrying the luggage, and you go directly to see Yue Lao San and confuse him with Lingbo Weibu. With Yue Lao San's intelligence, I have a 30% chance that you can take him as your apprentice!"
"What about the other 70%?"
"You and Miss Mu had your necks snapped twice."
Duan Yu felt unwell: "The first plan is too sinister, is the corresponding second plan the safest?"
"That's right. It's not difficult to make this plan. I'll be in charge of carrying the luggage. You go directly to see Yue Lao San. Without saying anything, just bow down and go to Nanhai to be his disciple. I'll take care of Miss Mu for you."
“…”
"Look, you think the best plan is too risky, and you're still picky about the next plan, so you'll just fall into the trap."
"What is the trap?"
"Actually, I just had a problem with my internal energy. Now I need to comprehend a completely new martial art. If I succeed, I will definitely be able to fight with Yue Lao San for a few moves. But if I fail, I will be the same kind of person as Zuo Zimu. Do you understand?"
Duan Yu then realized that Brother Chu was not intentionally shirking his responsibility, but was actually trying to comprehend superior martial arts. He couldn't help feeling ashamed and confused at the same time as to why Brother Chu wasn't in seclusion or meditating, but just had a bitter face and seemed to be hesitating about something... Is this how one comprehends martial arts?
Duan Yu didn't know that what Chu Lu Ren called "something went wrong with his energy" was actually a big mistake!
After three months of exploration, Chu Lu Ren roughly understood his own peculiarities as a time traveler - when meditating, a map of the meridians throughout the body would appear in his mind, and... there were five major equipment columns: "mind, body, qi, technique, and momentum".
Except for "Skills" and "Physique", the other three equipment slots have only one slot. "Skills" has five slots, two of which are "Qinggong" and "Sports", and the other three are "Moves";
The "body" column has no number, but is an empty column in the shape of a human body. Although no martial arts are equipped now, Chu Lu Ren speculates that the corresponding parts should be filled in with hard training.
However, the problem is that what can be equipped is not ordinary martial arts!
Chu Lu Ren can instantly comprehend martial arts to a proficient level after reading the secret book, but... he can only talk big. The martial arts he comprehends will form a badge in the meditation space, but it cannot be equipped, and Chu Lu Ren cannot practice martial arts normally.
The martial arts that can be equipped must be badges after "fusion". This is also another ability of Chu Lu Ren in the meditation space - to integrate !
Because of this chaotic world, the martial arts industry in the Jianghu is very "developed". During the three months of Chu Lu Ren's time travel, he acquired several common sword techniques, and there was a "critical hit" when they were integrated, and he obtained the "Supreme Sword Canon" which sounded very powerful just by the name!
It was precisely because of this that Chu Luren, despite being far less experienced in combat and having an extremely weak internal force, was able to defeat Zuo Zimu by relying on his exquisite swordsmanship...
But just when Chu Lu Ren was feeling very proud and performed the fusion for the second time, the result made him spit out a mouthful of blood.
During the three months since he traveled through time, Chu Lu Ren had also collected Taizu Changquan, Shaolin Changquan... these martial arts that were circulated everywhere, and finally merged them with the "Supreme Sword Canon"... into "Taizu's Vitality" - a radio gymnastics that was similar to the "Youthful Vitality" in his previous life!
It can be equipped on both "Shu" and " Qi" at the same time, but the effect is very weak.
Chu Lu Ren then realized that this supreme fusion system relies on luck, and what is fused may not necessarily be a good thing.
At that moment Chu Lu Ren regretted so much that he wanted to cut off his hands. Not only did he waste three months of time, but he also lost the "Supreme Sword Canon" - after the fusion, the badges used as raw materials would not be returned. Their black-heartedness was comparable to that of the crappy game companies in his previous life.
However... fusion is a must, because Chu Luren's "proficient comprehension" is only an comprehension of the principle. He can use the martial arts equipped with "qi" to cultivate his internal strength, but I don't know if it's because of his qualifications or something else, his training efficiency is very low!
In addition, only when fusing martial arts will fusion fragments be dropped, which can be "thrown into" the center of the eyebrows in the meridian map in exchange for the "enlightenment" state, at which time the internal strength can be improved much faster.
The Chu Lu people are in a dilemma right now because they don't have any suitable martial arts, but...
Mr. Duan and I had gotten some good stuff from the Langhuan Blessed Land before, and now we can "gamble" if we're desperate!
