48: 48 at Pills 48: 48 at Pills Fang Zhixing imdiately turned around, went back, and took the other four martial arts manuals, opening each to the introduction.
Then he fell silent.
Xigou asked in surprise, “What’s wrong?”
Fang Zhixing took a deep breath and said, “These five martial arts manuals, they all only contain the first two layers, without any content thereafter.”
Xigou widened his eyes and said, “What’s going on, are these manuals incomplete, or do these martial arts only have two layers in total?”
Fang Zhixing replied, “There are more than two layers, however, it seems Luo Kegong did not bring the complete versions of the manuals with him.”
Xigou shivered, “It might be for the purpose of protecting the martial arts, or perhaps Luo Kegong is just a nobody in the Luo Family, without the authority to obtain the complete versions of the manuals.”
“Yes, after all, martial arts are monopolized by aristocratic families, it’s impossible to allow soone to carry full versions of the manuals and go out of town…”
Fang Zhixing nodded his head, no longer hesitating, walked over to the desk, moved it in front of the window, and then took out paper and ink, quickly beginning to transcribe.
The “Iron Mountain Skill,” both the entry-level and the first layer, Fang Zhixing had already morized.
He began transcribing directly from the second layer.
Due to his writing habits, he did not use a brush or calligraphy but used a chicken feather as a quill to write with ink.
The writing was small and fast.
In a flash, four hours had passed, and it was faintly light outside.
Xigou on guard at the door urged once again, “Are you done?”
Fang Zhixing didn’t speak and focused on transcribing, his hand flying over the paper.
After a while, he exhaled heavily, neatly folded the papers and tucked them into his chest, then moved the desk back to its original place, restoring all the items on it to their original positions.
Then he picked up Xigou, climbed out of the window, and quickly returned to his room.
In a corner of the separate courtyard, another Xigou appeared, then self-destructed, turning into black smoke and sinking into the ground.
The next mont, Xigou sent a ssage, “Wang Yitong has been fast asleep, he didn’t notice you had left.”
Fang Zhixing quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Xigou could split into four, with eight eyes, plus its keen sense of sll and hearing, his help was indispensable.
One could say, without Xigou’s assistance, the difficulty of stealing the manuals for Fang Zhixing alone would have been too great.
He sat down, took a sip of tea, then pulled a stack of paper from his chest and spread it out.
Almost at the sa ti, the system panel suddenly flashed with light.
[Iron Mountain Skill Second Layer·Full Level Conditions:
1.
Cultivate the first layer to perfection (completed)
2.
Use the first layer techniques to defeat or kill five lifeforms of the sa level (incomplete)
3.
Read the second layer content 10 tis (incomplete)
4.
600 pounds of first-grade exotic beast at, or 365 upper-grade at pills (incomplete)]
“Eh, it showed up so quickly.”
Fang Zhixing couldn’t help being stunned.
Xigou was also stunned and confusedly said, “What’s the aning of this, you haven’t comprehended the second layer yet, how did the full level conditions show up, could it be…”
Fang Zhixing shivered and pondered, “There might be a system bug here.
Perhaps, as long as I possess a martial arts secret manual for a certain amount of ti, the system will assu I have acquired the martial arts manual and will automatically start to decipher it, thereby deducing the full level conditions.”
Xigou was tongue-tied and said, “Damn, doesn’t that an you didn’t need to transcribe at all?”
Fang Zhixing nodded and took a deep breath, “If that’s the case, then it’s possible to exploit this bug!”
Xigou looked carefully at those four conditions.
Besides the first one, which had already been completed, the second and third ones should be relatively easy to complete, but the fourth one was a little more interesting.
“First Level Upper Grade Exotic Beast at?
It seems that mutant beasts are also classified by levels!”
Xigou kept clucking his tongue, suddenly becoming curious, “What level mutant beast do you think I am?”
Fang Zhixing pondered and said, “When you execute your Bloodline Burst Skill, you should be a First Level mutant beast.”
Upon hearing this!
Xigou’s fur stood on end, and he said in alarm, “Fang Zhixing, I’m warning you, you better not sacrifice my flesh and blood!”
Fang Zhixing looked at him with disdain, “You’re worth it?
Do you weigh six hundred pounds?
Killing you three tis still wouldn’t add up to a hundred pounds.”
Xigou let out a sigh of relief and quickly changed the subject, “at Pills, what are those?”
Fang Zhixing didn’t know either.
A mont later, a servant delivered breakfast.
Fang Zhixing ate his breakfast leisurely.
In a short while, he saw Wang Yitong walk to the lawn in the courtyard, stretch a few tis, and then start practicing his punches thodically.
Seeing this, Fang Zhixing quickly finished eating and walked over, smiling, “Old Wang, let’s practice together.”
Wang Yitong smiled, “Practicing is fine, but no using Burst Skills.”
“Alright!”
The mont Fang Zhixing finished speaking, he imdiately rushed out, facing Wang Yitong with a stabbing punch.
“You’re ambushing !” Wang Yitong hastily took a step back, reacting in an instant.
He bent his forearm, faced the palm of his front hand upward level with his chest, kept his back hand protecting his ribs, spiraled his hand inward, and at the sa ti thrust out his clenched fist to deliver Inch Force, striking towards Fang Zhixing’s chest.
Fang Zhixing stomped his foot and swung his punch, channeling force from his heel, through his waist, to his fingertips, deflecting Wang Yitong’s fist.
The two exchanged blows, one after the other, within a single breath, engaging in several rounds of combat, each move and style emanating a fierce intensity.
Wang Yitong’s Inch Fist was a top-tier power exertion technique, seeking to unleash the greatest force over the shortest distance.
Thus, his attack style was simple, agile, commanding, and ferocious!
Whereas Fang Zhixing’s Iron Mountain Skill was as fierce as iron and as steadfast as a mountain, with plain yet refined moves, rapid and powerful exertion, and an imnse burst force, rich with the characteristics of striking martial arts.
Shoulder shake shakes the heavens, foot stomp shakes the nine provinces!
This was the clash between two tough guys and their powerful martial art skills!
However, in the end, it was Fang Zhixing who was younger, stronger, more enduring, and he also had the boon of “Dynamic Vision,” which always allowed him to capture Wang Yitong’s attack trajectory, making his offense and defense even more fluid and smooth.
Gradually, Wang Yitong found himself overpowered, breathless as a bellows, and at his wits’ end.
“No more fighting, no more fighting.
I concede.”
Wang Yitong collapsed onto the ground, drenched in sweat.
Fang Zhixing effortlessly won the match, only taking a few heavy breaths.
[2.
Use First Layer techniques to defeat or kill five living creatures of the sa level (1/5)]
The corners of Fang Zhixing’s mouth lifted slightly as he sat down beside Wang Yitong, smiling, “Old Wang, I have a question.
I happened to hear soone ntion ‘at Pills.’ Do you know what that is?”
Wang Yitong replied, “at Pills, that is, they are supplents refined from exotic beast at mixed with various herbs, easy to digest, absorb, and packed with massive nutrition, specifically for martial artists’ consumption, an indispensable item for those practicing martial arts!”
Fang Zhixing was imdiately astonished, “Such a great item, and Cheng Tianen never ntioned it to ?”
“Well, you can’t bla him because at Pills are special supplies, banned from sale, available only to the elite class.
Ordinary people can’t even get close to them.
They’re not sold in the streets or in shops.”
Wang Yitong emphasized, “The ones qualified to consu at Pills are either rich or noble, and with the nourishnt from at Pills, their martial arts training progresses extrely fast, dozens or even hundreds of tis faster than ours.”
