"Don't ask me, I've never practiced it."
Dirk stubbed out his cigarette and threw it into the trash can.
"Everything is ready. I have to go back and deliver. If you want a sign on the door, please have your staff prepare it. I'll call you then."
Dirk saluted his men, carried the unconscious chainmail-armored boy on his back, and the group rushed out of the hall.
After seeing them off, Lian Qigong said in a low voice.
"Is what he said true?"
"The tiger's roar is unmistakably murderous. I can't think of any other technique besides the True Tiger Fiend Scripture that could produce such an effect."
"No wonder Zhang Jiu is so powerful, it turns out he practiced the True Tiger Fiend Scripture."
"That guy said the True Tiger Fiend Scripture is a technique comparable to the Celestial Master's Diagram. How credible do you think that is?"
A ripple of emotion stirred in everyone's consciousness.
The ancient martial arts world may seem like a mere decoration, but in the eyes of the strong, it is nothing more than a group of clowns. The truly transcendent ones are a group of Taoist priests. They are supreme beings who can summon wind and rain, subdue demons and monsters, and control a supernatural world beyond the mortal realm. They don't even care about the face of the nation.
The source of all this is the Taoist treasure, the rare book that many people desperately seek, the "Celestial Master's Manual".
The origins of the Celestial Masters sect are unknown, but it has a history of at least three thousand years. It is considered by many to be the general outline of Taoism. The spells of various schools and sects, such as spirit transformation, lightning summoning, talismans, and magic, all evolved from this. This is the origin of magic and the leading country in the supernatural power of the Dragon Kingdom.
It was this book that established Taoism's unique status.
Now we have before us a remarkable book comparable to "Heavenly Questions," if only we could obtain it...
Various thoughts surfaced from the depths of his soul, and his eyes began to sparkle.
"Don't jump to conclusions before you understand the situation." "What if this is a trap set by Xu Fu and Xiao?"
Zhao Cheng glanced at everyone and uttered a warning: "Right now, the most important thing is to get the door panel back; we'll talk about the rest later."
The elderly people nodded, but no one knew what they were thinking.
...
The impact of this battle was enormous.
It only took a few hours to reach the top of the trending search list. Videos of Ajiu and Chen Feng fighting were everywhere online. Although the fight was short, the level of danger was terrifying, especially when the tiger roared. Even watching through the screen, you could feel how scary the red light in Ajiu's eyes was.
His name appeared in the rumors, and people were very interested in this 15-year-old.
On the west coast of the United States, Lingxiuzi was so angry after seeing the video that his face turned pale. He hurriedly called Xu Fu to arrange a call, but the call could not be connected. He also called his disciples, but the call could not be connected either.
"Assholes! They're all bastards!"
The old man's eyes widened. He had watched Ajiu grow up since he was a child and knew her personality all too well. Apart from being filial, she was a combination of a wolf and a fox. Judging from her posture, she clearly intended to use Ajiu as a weapon. What was even more remarkable was that she possessed the Tiger Demon Manual, something that could not be practiced casually.
"No, we must stop him."
The old man scratched his head, at a loss for what to do, and decided that he had no choice but to ask Xiao Changlin for help. Half an hour later, Xu Fu received a call from his grandfather, instructing him to do everything in his power to safely deliver Zhang Ajiu to the United States.
"This old man really knows his stuff."
Linda wondered, "Is that my master?"
Who else could it be but him?
Xu Fu casually invited the boy who was eating to join him.
"How does it feel?"
Aju hesitated before saying, "It seems like there's something wrong with my body."
"Any questions?"
That's it.
The boy channeled his inner energy into his right hand, and an invisible energy surrounded his palm, exceptionally clear.
Xu Fu and Linda looked at each other, both showing surprise. Internal energy is not energy in the traditional sense. If it had to be defined, it could be understood as precipitated bio-energy. This power is extremely weak and almost invisible to the naked eye.
It got bigger.
Zhu continued, "And the situation isn't as well controlled as it used to be."
Xu Fu frowned and said to Linda.
"Did this happen while you were refining pills?"
"My direction is different from his."
Kryptonians' physiques are not suited to practicing ancient martial arts, so Linda had to find another way, using her body's energy to replace internal breathing. She found that the results were excellent and the power was also great.
Xu Fu understood what she meant, patted the boy on the shoulder, smiled, and then...
"Go eat, it's no big deal."
The boy nodded obediently, returned to the table, picked up the pork and ginger, and took a bite.
Linda said in a low voice.
"My teacher told me that internal energy comes from the body and is controlled by will. If internal energy increases too much in a short period of time, there is a risk of going into qi deviation. In the world of ancient martial arts, this is called qi deviation."
“Ah Jiu’s condition is very similar to what Master described.” He paused, then hesitated before saying, “We’d better take him back so the master can examine him.”
Xu Fu said sarcastically.
"You're overthinking it. The surge in internal energy is a result of the enhancement potion, not your own way out."
"but..."
"very good"
Xu Fu waved his hand: "I'm here, it's alright."
Seeing this, Linda could only swallow back the words that were about to come out.
After dinner, Xu Fu returned to his bedroom and contacted the central computer directly.
“Ava, thoroughly examine Zhu’s physical condition; I need every single piece of data.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the boy who was lying on the ground tapping his phone closed his eyes and fell asleep. Two small birds flew in from the window and perched on him.
One bird transformed into a mechanical spider, traversing the body and constantly extracting information from the flesh; the other bird became a headband, determining the state of the brain.
The host computer processes various information into charts, which take up dozens of pages.
Xu read very quickly, and the more he read, the more he frowned.
His cells evolved at twice the rate of metabolism, and with each evolution, the energy fluctuations within his body increased. At this rate, his internal energy did not immediately expand to an unimaginable extent.
In this state, Zhu Di was completely unable to control such a massive amount of internal energy, which meant that he would inevitably collapse and become a beast that could only kill.
No wonder the "Tiger Demon Scripture" is called a demonic martial art.
This is so strange!
A doubling of metabolic rate means a drastic reduction in lifespan; a sharp increase in internal energy means a drastic increase in the chance of losing control; and then there's the terrifying killing intent inherent in the cultivation technique itself...
Xu Fu had a bit of a headache. After thinking for a moment, he spoke.
"Give him an injection of inhibitors and record the subsequent changes in his body."
"Understood, young master."
Chapter 1432 One Strike to Kill the Opponent
Xu Fu could not interrupt his plans because of Aju. Xie Tianshi was someone he had to obtain. As for that boy, he had to do everything he could to save him. If that was impossible, then he would summon Sixth Master and enter his body.
The competition itself is only one factor; the truly important thing is the "Tiger Demon Manual".
Some enthusiasts have called it the world's number one exercise.
As Zhang Ajiu rose to fame, this technique also spread.
Three days later, a summons was delivered to the prosperous scenic area.
Applicant: Zhang Ajiu;
Time: The day after tomorrow
Location: Main gate of the Taoist temple
Unlike the ancient martial arts world, the Taoist sect has countless legends, and some powerful old Taoist priests are even called immortals. Immortals cannot be measured by common sense, and this kid actually dares to challenge an immortal.
The ancient martial arts world was instantly in an uproar, and the various sects of Taoism became even more confusing.
Not only them, but also the top leaders of the Dragon Kingdom who received the news were filled with questions: What was Xiao Zhiguo going to do? From ancient martial arts to cultivation, was he going to defeat the entire Dragon Kingdom again?
And he's too short-tempered!
After public opinion was stirred up, Dirk found the leaders of various factions and told them that if they wanted the stone tablet back, they should send their disciples to the entrance of the Starry Sky Temple to cheer them on and help them fight, as they requested.
At this time, everyone had not yet calmed down. The elders of several sects gathered together overnight to discuss the matter, but they did not reach a conclusion. Some did not want to cause trouble, while others had ulterior motives and wanted to take the opportunity to investigate the true nature of the Taoist sects and monitor Sect Leader Ajiu.
Hearing is unreliable, seeing is believing. You can't completely trust what you read online; you have to see it for yourself before making a decision.
Compared to their excitement, Prosperity's expression was calm, neither accepting nor rejecting.
Two days later, a large group of people appeared at the entrance of the Prosperity. The leader was Azhu. This time, he was different from before. He was wearing a silver battle suit and a helmet. His eyes were shining with a holy halo, which made him look very unusual.
The door opened, and a middle-aged Taoist priest walked out, saying without any emotion.
