Longevity starts with inheriting a friend's legacy

Chapter 137: Mastering All Methods, Ancient Chinese Kung Fu
"The third level, creating a method."

Glancing at everyone, Kuang Qing smiled faintly and said, "The stone tower in front of us has a total of 18 floors. There are also restrictions that suppress cultivation. Everyone's cultivation is still at the Great Perfection of a Martial Apprentice. Everyone can choose any floor to enter."

"There are many martial arts books in the stone tower for your reference. In three days, you need to combine the martial arts books in the stone tower to create a new martial art. Then use the martial arts you created to kill the current level of the mechanical puppet to pass the level."

"The difficulty of the first floor of the stone tower is roughly equivalent to the fifth level of a martial artist. Each time you ascend to a higher level, the difficulty increases by 50%."

"You will get 100 points for clearing the first level, and the points you get for clearing each level will double."

"After you clear the currently selected level, if there is still time left, you will have a chance to challenge a higher level. However, if you fail, you will still die."

"Okay, now let's start choosing. Each floor can accommodate a thousand people at the same time."

"If the currently selected layer is full, you will automatically enter the next layer."

Kuang Qing’s last sentence caused the faces of many warriors present to change instantly!

The first floor can only accommodate 1,000 people. If it is full, the people behind will be forced to choose the next floor. This...

In the scene, some people are worried and some are happy.

Those warriors who gave up the second level and chose to take the guaranteed reward came out earlier and are now at the front of the team. Undoubtedly, they have the priority right.

The difficulty of the first level of the stone tower is roughly equivalent to the fifth level of a martial artist, while the difficulty of the second level is 50% higher than that of the first level. The difficulty must at least reach the seventh to eighth level of a martial artist. By this calculation, at most by the fourth or fifth level, the difficulty will exceed the level of a martial artist and reach that of a martial artist master.

In this case, one must use the new knowledge gained to fight. Undoubtedly, all warriors would definitely choose to start from the first level, get the guaranteed 100 points first, and then decide whether to challenge higher levels depending on the situation.

This weird rule made other warriors, even Fang Xu frown slightly.

When it came to the second level, he almost came out just as the bell rang. Yun Wan, Lu Qingluo and Long Long did not come out much earlier than him.

There are nearly 10,000 people present. According to this rule, when it is our turn, it will be at least the eighth or ninth floor.

The difficulty of the eighth and ninth levels must be at least at the fifth level of martial artist, right?
It's okay for me, Yun Wan and Long Long shouldn't worry either, but Lu Qingluo...

Turning his head to look at Lu Qingluo beside him, Fang Xu found that there was not much worry on her face. He couldn't help but ask curiously: "Senior Sister, are you confident that you can pass the test?"

Lu Qingluo smiled mysteriously and said, "Don't look down on me like that. I'm your senior sister."

Seeing the confidence on her face, Fang Xu was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "In this case, I feel relieved."

The crowd was already slowly moving towards the stone tower.

As expected, many warriors in front chose the first level at the first opportunity.

Everyone has two chances to challenge. Keeping the first and striving for the second is the safest strategy in most people's minds.

The first layer is fully selected, followed by the second layer, the third layer...

When it was Fang Xu and his companions' turn, there was no room left on the first eight floors. Without any hesitation, Yun Wan, Lu Qingluo and Long Long all chose the ninth floor.

"Please make sure you want to choose the floor you want." At the entrance of the stone tower, the disciple of the Ascension Society said expressionlessly.

Looking at the options in front of him, Fang Xu hesitated and said, "The twelfth floor."

Along the way, he has roughly calculated the difficulty of clearing each level.

The difficulty of clearing the twelfth level is about the same as that of the eighth or ninth level of martial artist. With your own strength, it is not too difficult to clear the level. By clearing the twelfth level, you can get more than 200,000 points at one time.

When he came, Huang Qingzhou had warned him to get as many points as possible, as there would be a big surprise after he got in.

"Are you sure it's the twelfth floor?"

In front of him, the inner disciple of the Ascension Society heard Fang Xu's choice and asked with some surprise.

With so many people ahead, except for the first five floors, occasionally someone will skip the current floor with vacancies and choose the next floor.

But this kind of jump usually just means skipping one level, and as the first five levels are filled up, few people will skip the levels with vacancies and choose a higher level.

"Sure." Fang Xu nodded.

The disciple of the Ascension Society looked at it carefully, and then handed over a token engraved with the word twelve.

"Good luck."

After taking the token, Fang Xu walked into the tower.

There seemed to be craftsmen in the Shengxian Society who were proficient in mechanical puppetry. Fang Xu did not have to climb up to the twelfth floor of the stone tower by himself. He could directly take a device similar to an elevator to the twelfth floor.

Using the token in his hand to open the stone door on the twelfth floor, Fang Xu walked in slowly.

It was obvious that he was the only one on this floor.

Rumble!
As soon as Fang Xu walked in, the stone door behind him slammed shut.

"what?"

"It seems that there are not so many disciples taking the test this year?"

Before Fang Xu had time to look around, an old voice came from the huge stone chamber not far away, which frightened him.

Seeing an old man wearing a loose green robe and with gray hair slowly walking out of the stone chamber, Fang Xu hurriedly bowed and said, "Senior."

The old man looked at him curiously and said, "Little guy, did you choose this floor directly?"

Fang Xu nodded.

The old man nodded appreciatively and said with a smile:

"I am the elder Wuling who teaches the skills of the Ascension Society."

"Come on, your time is valuable."

Leading Fang Xu into the stone chamber, Wu Ling pointed to the rows of stone tablets and bookshelves in front of him and said directly: "Here are all the martial arts books you can study, including fists, palms, legs, claws, body movements, swords, spears, halberds, etc."

"You have three days to observe and comprehend, and then create a brand new martial art."

"After that, I will take you to challenge the mechanical puppet."

"Take your time to read it. I won't disturb you."

After Wu Ling finished speaking, he sat cross-legged on a cushion and slowly closed his eyes.

Fang Xu bowed slightly to him, and then began to look for what he wanted in the huge stone chamber.

In terms of martial arts, he is undoubtedly good at stick techniques and boxing.

However, comparing the two, Fang Xu prefers boxing.

Because if he chooses boxing, he will have a lot of advantages to take advantage of.

In the previous life, in the army, there were many Wuying-level masters who combined a series of martial arts to create a killing technique that was more suitable for them.

Along the way, this killing skill also exerted unexpected power.

However, most of the time when using this killing skill, Fang Xu relied on his own brute force, without showing the true effect of the martial arts.

Today, he would take advantage of this opportunity to combine some boxing techniques from his previous life with contemporary martial arts and all his current experience to create something more suitable for warriors, so that the ancient Chinese martial arts heritage can shine in this world.

Walking in front of rows of bookshelves, Fang Xu looked for martial arts books that interested him, flipping through them, observing and learning from them.

The quality of these martial arts books is not very high, generally below the fifth grade. Occasionally there are some high-quality ones, but they are all incomplete versions.

Fang Xu didn't care too much about these.

After the additional spiritual attribute reached 75, his comprehension reached a new height. For some ninth-grade and eighth-grade martial arts, he could roughly understand the essence of them just by reading them once.

For some seventh- and sixth-grade martial arts, he only needed to watch and practice the moves and the circulation of qi and blood a few times to understand them.

Time passed bit by bit, and soon a day had passed.

During this day, Fang Xu read nearly a hundred martial arts books, understood the essence of these books, and memorized the blood and energy circulation methods and moves of these martial arts.

But he was not satisfied yet, and he was still diligently flipping through the many books in front of him.

In the outside world, the money required to obtain these classics would definitely be a astronomical figure, but in the stone chamber before his eyes, they were just like ordinary books, placed there at random for one to read at will.

In fact, it is understandable if you think about it.

The annual assessment of the Ascension Society requires many warriors to observe the "Moya Heavenly Scripture". Every disciple who has learned the secret techniques of martial arts from the "Moya Heavenly Scripture" will copy what he has learned and hand it over to the Ascension Society for safekeeping.

After so many years of accumulation, the Shengxian Society's collection of martial arts classics must have reached a massive amount.

Place these low-grade martial arts manuals in the stone tower and allow other disciples to read through them, refine them, and then create more advanced martial arts. This cycle will continue, and the Ascension Association will be able to obtain more and more high-grade martial arts.

Inside the stone chamber, with no one to disturb him, Fang Xu could comfortably read any book he wanted.

By the next day, he had already looked through all the martial arts books related to boxing in the stone chamber and began to look through other types of martial arts.

In the path of martial arts, all other methods share the same origin.

Boxing can give rise to sword techniques, spear techniques, and palm techniques; similarly, spear techniques, sword techniques, etc. can also evolve into boxing techniques.

"Boy, I saw you were reading books about boxing before, why are you reading about spearmanship now?" In the stone chamber, Wu Ling saw Fang Xu reading an eighth-grade spearmanship book with great interest, and couldn't help but say, "It will be difficult for you to create a martial art that can defeat the mechanical puppet if you continue like this."

Fang Xu smiled faintly and said, "Senior, all things have the same origin. I believe that jade from other mountains can be used to polish stones. What I want is to learn by analogy."

"Hey!"

After hearing his words, Wu Ling's eyes flashed with admiration, and he couldn't help but smile and said, "You have a very deep understanding of martial arts."

"But don't forget, this is an assessment. You only have three days, and two days have already passed."

"When the three days are up, even if I want to help you again, I will have to follow the rules."

"I advise you that you can think about this idea slowly after you enter the gate. Now... saving your life is the most important thing." Fang Xu's expression changed slightly after hearing this: "Senior, after entering the gate, do I still have a chance to enter this stone tower?"

"Of course I can. The first level has 1,000 contribution points per day. Each level after that will add 1,000. You can figure out how many you need per day for the 12 levels."

Fang Xu: “…”

Another contribution point!
It seems that the daily practice and life of the Ascension Society are inseparable from contribution points.

Without paying any attention to Wu Ling, he immediately focused all his energy on the spearmanship martial arts book in his hand.

Fang Xu quickly finished reading the book in his hand and did not look for other books. He turned and came to the rows of broken stone tablets that he did not know where the Shengxian Society had moved from.

Most of these incomplete stone tablets do not contain any complete martial arts, only a few words, and some even have only some rough traces.

Fang Xu watched carefully, his palm gently stroking the marks left by swords, spears, swords and halberds. He could vaguely feel the scene when the warriors who left these marks attacked.

These complicated images flashed through his mind like a movie, frame by frame.

Gradually, the countless books he had read before formed into shining little figures, who kept practicing various martial arts in his mind.

As these little figures continued to merge, the swords, spears, swords, halberds, fists, feet, legs and claws in their hands gradually became blurred, until finally, all the images were merging and the number of little figures was gradually decreasing.

Fang Xu looked quietly at the remaining little men, thinking hard about how to merge them again.

However, this kind of fusion obviously becomes more and more difficult towards the end. This is not because there is a problem with his understanding of martial arts, but purely because of his insufficient foundation, cultivation and understanding of martial arts.

A lot of dense beads of sweat oozed out of his forehead. Fang Xu closed his eyes and frowned, and his whole body was shaking.

Seeing this, Wuling walked over with some surprise.

"Obsessed?"

Looking at Fang Xu's appearance, he vaguely felt that Fang Xu was on the verge of going insane.

Although the martial arts is a world of competition and not bound by fixed forms, everything must follow some invisible rules.

Under the rules, changes can be made at will, but once such changes touch the rules, they will inevitably suffer backlash.

Naturally, this kind of rule cannot rise to the level we imagine, but if it backfires, it can be very serious.

"Ugh!"

Wuling sighed and ignored Fang Xu.

As an elder who teaches martial arts in the Ascension Society, he has seen many talented disciples like Fang Xu die in the process of creating their own skills over the years, so he doesn't think it's a big deal anymore.

In front of the stone tablet, in Fang Xu's sea of ​​consciousness, four little men were still practicing their martial arts moves.

In fact, at this time, Fang Xu had a way out.

He only needs to firmly choose any one of the villains and let the other villains disappear on their own. Then he can solve the current dilemma and obtain a good martial art at the same time.

But he doesn't want to give up.

The consciousness controlled the four little men to try to merge continuously, but the four little men were like magnets with the same poles. The closer they were, the stronger the repulsion became. No matter how he tried, these little men could no longer merge!
Fang Xu became anxious.

His thoughts were racing as he began to wonder if there was any external force he could use to force the four little men to merge together!
Roar!
Deep in the sea of ​​consciousness, a huge blood-red demon ape appeared!
Magical power: three transformations of the magic ape!
In desperation, Fang Xu prepared to use the insights of the Demon Ape's Three Transformations to try to forcefully merge the four little men together!
After the blood-colored demon ape appeared, a pair of big hands completely covered the four little men under its palms!

Then, the demon ape began to exert force with its big hands, kneading the four little men together.

But no matter how the big hands kneaded them, although the four little men were leaning against each other and were squeezed to the point of being deformed, there was still no sign of fusion.

wrong!

wrong!

The direction is still wrong.

It is still a wrong approach to use the three transformations of the Demon Ape to perfect the newly created martial arts.

After some attempts, Fang Xu found out helplessly that this trick didn't work.

In the sea of ​​consciousness, the figure of the blood-colored demon ape slowly disappeared, and was replaced by a broken bronze tripod!

It is said to be a large bronze tripod, but in fact it looks like a rough piece of bronze, like a lump of copper.

This thing is actually what Fang Xu realized during the second level assessment.

When he was observing the "Cliff Sky Scripture" in the second level, he obviously failed and did not understand anything.

But in reality, what he realized was just a prototype and not yet perfect.

As soon as the rough bronze cauldron appeared in the sea of ​​consciousness, the entire sea of ​​consciousness trembled slightly, and the four little figures who were practicing martial arts all stopped moving.

Under the control of his consciousness, Fang Xu slowly placed all four little men into the bronze cauldron.

With a slight movement of his mind, "The True Explanation of the Flame Spirit" turned into flames and began to burn rapidly under the cauldron.

Gradually, the four little men gradually melted away, and then the martial arts insights formed by the melting of the four little men began to slowly merge together, and then a brand new little man was slowly born from them.

Although this little man looked more solid, he did not reach the same height as before.

After the villain appeared, he practiced a completely new type of martial arts.

His consciousness quietly watched the little man's practice, and the ferocious look on Fang Xu's face gradually returned to calm.

a long time--

Fang Xu slowly opened his eyes, and before he stood up, he saw Wu Ling standing in front of him.

"Boy, are you awake?"

Wu Ling looked at the strange light that flashed across his eyes with some doubt and said lightly: "It's overtime by a quarter of an hour."

"But I did interrupt you once, so this quarter of an hour is my compensation."

"Let's go."

Fang Xu quickly stood up and followed Wu Ling out of the stone chamber.

The two walked out of the stone chamber and soon came to a square similar to a colosseum.

"You have three opponents, go in."

Watching Fang Xu walk into the arena with his own eyes, Wu Ling pressed the button beside him.

Rumble!
Rumble!
Rumble!
The heavy fences on the left and right and in front of the arena slowly rose up, and then three humanoid mechanical puppets in black armor walked out slowly.

There was no aura emanating from the humanoid mechanical puppet, and Fang Xu had no idea what its specific strength was.

But judging from the humanoid mechanical puppets he encountered during the first level of the assessment, Fang Xu felt that the strength of the three humanoid mechanical puppets in front of him was definitely not weaker than those of the seventh level martial artists!
call!
Three humanoid mechanical puppets just came out, paused for a moment, and then rushed towards Fang Xu together!
At the same time, one of the mechanical puppets actually swung the saber in its hand, slashing out a terrifying blade light!
Energy leaving the body! ?
Fang Xu was a little shocked!

He had encountered many mechanical puppets before, some of which were as powerful as Wu Zun.

But those mechanical puppets didn't have the means to let their energy leave their bodies. The three mechanical puppets in front of him, whose strength had reached the seventh level of martial artist, actually had the means to let their energy leave their bodies. This undoubtedly made it difficult for him to deal with them!

"Ha ha……"

On the stands next to the duel arena, seeing Fang Xu dodging the sword light slashed by the mechanical puppet in a panic, he showed surprise on his face and couldn't help but smile and said, "Boy, the stone tower restriction suppresses your cultivation, not the mechanical puppet and me."

"Enjoy it."

After hearing his words, Fang Xu was not distracted at all. He stared at the three humanoid puppets that had rushed to him. He leaned forward slightly, like a cheetah ready to attack, and rushed forward with red light flashing from his fists!

At the moment of rushing forward, a faint bloody shadow similar to that of a tiger flashed across his body!
Although this bloody shadow only flashed for a moment, Wuling still captured it keenly.

There are restrictions in the stone tower that can suppress all means of releasing external energy.

However, Fang Xu was able to release his blood and energy. Although it was suppressed back in just a moment, he was sure that it was the release of blood and energy!
The most important thing is that Wu Ling can see that Fang Xu's current strength is only at the eighth level of martial arts apprentice. That is to say, without the suppression of restrictions, his real cultivation level is only at the eighth level of martial arts apprentice, and he has not broken through to the level of martial arts master!
"This boy!"

Wuling's expression couldn't help but become solemn.

Being able to break the rules and use the energy-releasing methods that only martial artists at the martial arts master level possess at the martial arts apprentice level undoubtedly proves how extraordinary Fang Xu's talent in martial arts is.

Wuling had already made a decision in his mind at this time. If Wan Fangxu didn't give up the three humanoid puppets later, he must rescue him.

Although doing so violates the regulations, it can prevent Shengxian from losing a talent with great potential.

Rules are dead, but people are alive. He believed that even if he did this, Jiang Feng, as the elder in charge, would not blame him.

At the same time as he was looking for talent, Fang Xu had already rushed into the middle of the three humanoid mechanical puppets!
The moment the phantom of qi and blood on the surface of his body was forcibly suppressed by the restriction, Fang Xu felt a little uncomfortable.

Because this is undoubtedly limiting one's own strength.

But the impact of this restriction was not too great. His figure flashed flexibly, and he came to a humanoid mechanical puppet like a clever monkey, and Fang Xu suddenly threw a punch!
The moment the fist was swung, a low tiger roar was faintly heard!
boom!
The huge fist smashed directly into the hard armor of the humanoid mechanical puppet, knocking him away!

The terrifying force caused the humanoid mechanical puppet to fly backwards more than ten feet along the ground and slam into the wall of the arena!

Swish!
While knocking the humanoid mechanical puppet away, the two mechanical puppets beside it launched an attack at the same time!

The two seemed to have a certain ability to cooperate. One long sword chopped towards Fang Xu's head, and the other chopped towards Fang Xu's feet!
Faced with this seemingly unavoidable attack, Fang Xu leaned forward slightly. As his feet left the ground, a phantom of a monkey flashed across his body. He spun quickly and passed between the two deadly long swords. At the same time, he also launched an attack on one of the humanoid mechanical puppets!

The huge palm slapped the humanoid mechanical puppet hard!
The red light of the palm faintly formed a shadow like a violent bear's paw, which was imprinted on the chest of the humanoid mechanical puppet!
Bang!
The terrifying force caused the armor on the chest of the humanoid mechanical puppet to dent!
With the help of the recoil force, he jumped high into the air. While in mid-air, he spread his wings like a bird and swooped down at the only remaining humanoid mechanical puppet below!
The flying bird turns into a tiger!

The terrifying fist smashed directly into the humanoid mechanical puppet!
This humanoid mechanical puppet reacted quickly. Seeing Fang Xu rushing towards him, it immediately raised the saber in its hand to block!

However, the power of Fang Xu's punch was too terrifying!
The heavy saber blade blocked his punch but was also bent at the same time!

Before his body landed on the ground, Fang Xu kicked his feet and kicked the humanoid mechanical puppet several times in succession!

Then, with the help of the recoil force, after his body landed on the ground, he jumped back a few times flexibly and rushed up again!
Looking at Fang Xu's actions, Wu Ling in the stands was stunned!
"Why is this kid like a ferocious beast..."
