Starting from the other world, I joined the chat group at the same time

"Hello, Master."

Xia Lang did not ask anything else. He just put his hands together and bowed slightly to the big monk. Then he sat cross-legged beside him without saying a word.

The old monk did not speak, but continued to beat the wooden fish and chant his sutra. He did not put down the wooden fish until the incense in front of him burned out, and then he said slowly:

"Amitabha, I am sorry for neglecting you. I will serve you tea right away."

"No need, Master. I'm not here to ask for tea."

"Then what is the purpose of the donor?"

"Come to meet someone I find interesting." Xia Lang looked at the monk and smiled.

The old monk in front of him has no name, at least in the original work, he never said who he was. But he is Lan Dao Tianwu's senior brother and Tiandao's master.

An unknown martial arts master eventually died in obscurity. The only value of his existence was to guide Tiandao to pursue his own path.

But he is also someone Xia Lang finds interesting.

"Donor... doesn't seem to be a person with deep obsessions."

The old monk raised his cloudy eyes and looked at Xia Lang. After a moment, he slowly said:

"And you are very proficient in martial arts... But doesn't the donor have a way that is more suitable for you?"

What the old monk was talking about was the power of magnetic field, and this is also the reason why he guided Tiandao to find Wu Ren in the original work.

But what’s interesting is – when Tiandao punched Wu Ren in the head, did he misunderstand what his master said?

There is no doubt that Wu Ren, a villain who stole the martial arts achievements of Tian Dao, deserves to die. But when Tian Dao was extremely happy to kill Wu Ren, what he realized was that one should distinguish between "martial arts" and "strength".

He believed that if one wanted to achieve great things, one must not let interests, martial arts, principles and morality conflict with each other, and one must not combine ideals and desires.

Martial arts is just a means, no different from magnetic field power. So killing people does not need to pay attention to any morality, and he believes that he should not suppress his brutal nature.

Is the path he believes in correct? Not wrong, from the perspective of a person with a strong magnetic field, it is not wrong at all.

But from the perspective of life and the way of heaven - this is very subtle.

After Tiandao realized this truth, his personality changed 180 degrees after the star was broken, and he became almost as evil and crazy as the giant shark. It is even more polite to say that if the first man had not sacrificed himself at that time, Tiandao might have captured Oga and severely humiliated him...

But is being crazy the nature of Tiandao? Of course not. Tiandao values ​​love and loyalty, whether it is to Tony or his brother Raven, or Lan Dao Tianwu.

His Tianwu Killing Dao was created to kill his adoptive father Lan Dao Tianwu. He hated and respected his adoptive father at the same time. It was because of this tangled mentality that he finally created his Tianwu Killing Dao.

Tian Dao thought he had realized a ruthless and unrighteous Dao from his master, but his nature was not like that at all. He could not be as crazy as the giant shark because his nature was not like that. And his self-realization made him stuck. There were two paths, but he could not take either one.

The person who created the Tianwu Killing Dao is the least suitable for it, and perhaps fate took a different turn when Tianwu Killing Dao met his master.

"Power is power. It is essentially a tool for those who hold it." Xia Lang stretched out his hand and used the Dark Dream Immortal Body he had just exchanged for, forming a stylish energy force around him.

"Look, Master, even a weakened martial arts can do all kinds of incredible things if it becomes strong."

Xia Lang chuckled, but he wasn't making up stories.

The martial arts of the Sea Tiger world were indeed eliminated in the Sea Tiger era, but as the power of the magnetic field weakened afterwards, martial arts not only revived, but also rose greatly.

Not to mention the Ultimate Infinite Divine Art, which is a magnetic field martial art that can be used to great effect in the ultimate era. Even if the magnetic field power is put aside, some martial arts are also extremely powerful.

For example, the martial arts of the Phoenix Era, such as the Dark God Technique, it is hard to imagine that people without magnetic field power can cause destructive power and harm. Of course, although it does not completely rely on magnetic field rotation, this martial art is probably not that pure.

But no matter what, whether it is the Age of the God of War or the Age of Phoenix, it has been proven that martial arts can definitely create a situation where 1+1>2 for the power of the magnetic field.

"...Your exploration of the martial arts is better than that of this poor monk."

The old monk put his hands together and said softly

"What's important about martial arts is not its destructive power. It's the philosophy and meaning it represents, and the significance it can provide for us practitioners to learn from."

Xia Lang slowly raised his fist, then slowly put it down, and said softly

“What’s important is its meaning and the insights and cognition it brings to us, so even people with strong magnetic fields can benefit a lot from the wisdom of their predecessors.”

After all, whether it is Huangji Jingshi or Bodhidharma Sutra, these secret books from past eras can still shine brightly even in the ultimate era.

"But if you only focus on its destructive power, then you are undoubtedly taking a wrong and deviated path in martial arts."

As Xia Lang was talking, he turned around and saw a big man with short white hair standing behind him, staring at him with a warlike look in his eyes.

"And what about you, Heavenly Dao?"

Xia Lang looked at the great white shark and asked with a chuckle:

Book recommendation time! This time it’s another book by a big shot!

The Villain Knight Doesn't Want to Be a Hero

Introduction: A heroic epic full of justice and passion... Well, this story didn't happen.

While sacrificing one's life to protect others is noble, it must be acknowledged that being a hero is not an easy task.

After seeing the thorns on the road, most people choose to give up.

Lin Qiao is also one of the ordinary people.

People admire heroes and sing praises to heroes, but in the end, they don't want to be heroes.

"So what do you want to say?"

Volume 159: The Rise of Xia Lang: Chapter 154 . [Hai Hu] Tian Wu and the Way of Killing

What is the end of martial arts?

Tiandao was once sent to Shaolin Temple by Lan Dao Tianwu to practice martial arts, where he came into contact with the most advanced martial arts in the world, and he was also fascinated by the concepts and principles of these martial arts.

He became a genius in martial arts and was obsessed with it. The only ones who could rival him were the genius Wu Ren who founded Juejian Villa and a fellow apprentice of his later.

As for Wu Ren, who can rival him in martial arts, he is Tiandao's friend, or at least... he is what Tiandao considers a friend.

He thought Wu Ren was a seeker who was as obsessed with martial arts as himself and was pursuing the end of the road. However, it was obvious that Tian Dao was wrong.

At the last martial arts tournament, Wu Ren shamelessly plagiarized the Tianwu Fist created by Tiandao, claimed it as his own, and then shamelessly claimed that it was created by him.

What exactly is he pursuing by doing this?

It's power, status, and money.

Oh, how ridiculous.

At that moment, Tiandao felt extremely disappointed, but what disappointed him the most was not that his trusted friend was such a mean person with such a petty mind, but what disappointed Tiandao the most was——

Are those who pursue martial arts actually seeking such superficial and ridiculous things?

What pure martial arts? There is no such thing! Whether it is the martial arts world or the masters, they are just mortals who have mastered a little power!

Compared with them, I, who possess the power of magnetic field, am instead pursuing the illusory and non-existent martial arts.

How ridiculous, how... funny.

So Tiandao began to abandon his own martial arts, and he no longer practiced any qi. Since there was no such thing as the spirit and will of martial arts, the so-called martial arts no longer had any meaning to him.

But Tiandao saw an unexpected example not long ago.

Xia Lang, this man who came out of nowhere, demonstrated martial arts fruits that even surpassed the power of magnetic fields.

Where does his power come from? Why is his energy so strong and powerful?

Tiandao was very curious and eager to explore this secret, so he had been looking for Xia Lang's whereabouts.

And now, they met.

A lost great white shark seeking the path of martial arts meets an unknown pioneer on this path.

So, of course——

The way of heaven is to follow Xia Lang to pursue his own way!

……

Outside the Shaolin Temple, in an empty bamboo forest

The green bamboo leaves drifted down with the breeze, and the wind blew the leaves and made a rustling sound. Tiandao said nothing, just staring at Xia Lang in front of him.

After a while, Xia Lang, who had come to the door, spoke up.

"If you have something to say, just say it. Stop trying to be cool here." Xia Lang curled his lips and shrugged.

"...Where did your powerful martial arts come from? And how did you do it?"

Tian Dao no longer concealed his thoughts, staring at Xia Lang with fiery eyes, and said in a deep voice:

"Hey, Tiandao, you are also in the martial arts circle, don't you know that it is very rude to ask others for secrets casually?"

Xia Lang touched his chin, showing a playful expression, then tilted his head and said

"Before you ask me, why don't you show me how your punch is?"

Tiandao nodded. As it should be, he began to practice his skills without reservation, and then, a full set of Tianwu Fist was launched in his hands.

There are 36 moves in total, and each one looks so plain and simple yet deadly and fierce. Even people with no martial arts foundation can easily feel the strong fierceness, madness, and evil from Tiandao's fist!

As the last move of "If I were the Emperor" was completed, Tiandao absorbed the move deeply and stared at Xia Lang.

"Nice move - just like a merciless great white shark."

Xia Lang smiled and applauded Tian Dao, then said faintly

"So, Tiandao, what kind of martial arts do you want to see from me? If it's just martial arts, I have... a lot."

He snapped his fingers, and only a small part of the surging energy was separated, and it condensed into a light golden dark dream fairy body in front of him!

The move I exchanged from the group is not as proficient as my own in the martial arts world. In terms of sophistication and profoundness, it is far inferior.

But as long as it can be used, and if this move is combined with the power of magnetic field, I believe Xia Lang will be able to reproduce the Ultimate Arhat's moves soon.

Tiandao said nothing, just staring at this magical illusion. Xia Lang was also very considerate, releasing the control of the Dark Dream Immortal Body and allowing Tiandao to go forward to observe.

“Exquisite…full of wonderful ideas.”

Tian Dao observed Dark Dream's immortal body while muttering to himself. He put his hand into the burning air and did not pull it out even if his skin was burned.

He saw an extremely exquisite move, and Tiandao's martial arts training even allowed him to deduce what the magnetic field force would look like after it was integrated with it!

But...is he satisfied?

No, although he got inspiration for an extremely powerful martial arts move and could even develop his own moves, Tian Dao still felt very unsatisfied.

Tiandao withdrew his hand, continued to stare at Xia Lang, and said in a deep voice

"Brother Xia Lang, you showed me a move that is not inferior to any martial arts secret book! But... this is not what I want!"

"Then what do you want? More powerful power?" Xia Lang looked at Tian Dao and suddenly grinned.

"Then why do you have to go far away? Doesn't the magnetic field force perfectly adapt to your needs? The same martial arts moves, when performed with the magnetic field force and with the harmony of qi, are very different, so why do you have to pursue other things?"

Tian Dao didn't know how to answer, and Xia Lang continued to speak slowly.

"If you were only pursuing a higher level of destructive power, you wouldn't be so confused, right? Brother Tiandao, what you are looking for is not something so superficial. What you want to ask me is the future of martial arts."

Tiandao's tiger body trembled, although he remained silent, but this gesture had already proved Xia Lang's statement.

Still unwilling.

Even after experiencing the despicable and shameless Wuren incident, Tiandao still insisted that he was a martial artist. Although his subconscious mind had rejected these things, he still wanted to stick to the path of martial arts.

Now there are two paths before him, the path of following the power of magnetic field, and the path of adhering to martial arts.

If you choose the former, you will abandon the relationship between martial arts and strength. Run wholeheartedly on the road of pursuing strength and work hard to become a ferocious and evil great white shark!

And choosing the latter...precisely because Tiandao could not see what this path looked like, he had no choice.

What he wanted to ask Xia Lang now was what this road would be like.

"That's not the case, Brother Tiandao. If we talk about age, I am even much younger than you. And if we talk about experience, I don't think I have any more life experience than you."

Xia Lang spread his hands and chuckled.

"Brother Tiandao, rather than asking me for the answer to the end of the martial arts, it's better to say that you just want to confirm your original intention with me."

"Between Tianwu and the Way of Killing, the courage to choose the former!"

He looked at the silent Tiandao and said loudly

"Brother Tiandao! Do you know what I saw from your Tianwu Killing Fist? Martial arts? No, no, no, no, what I saw was a crazy great white shark!"
