Chapter 80: Innate Spirit Bone, Wind and Thunder Vajra Fist

Meng Chong broke through, stepping into the realm of martial arts, and the familiar golden light appeared, brilliant and beautiful.

"You, my disciple Meng Chong, has successfully cultivated the technique you created, stepping into the realm of martial arts, and your Great Sun Golden Bell Shield is now complete."

Boom!

With the feedback from the Golden Finger, the complete technique of the Great Sun Golden Bell Shield appeared in Li Xuan's mind, and his physical body became even stronger at this moment.

Although he was at the Innate Realm, the Great Sun Golden Bell Shield could still be used by him.

By using true qi to activate the Great Sun Golden Bell Shield, the defense was unparalleled and incredibly powerful.

The foundation of physical martial arts was now firmly established.

The jade bone emitted a lustrous light, containing a sense of vajra.

This was the result of the fusion of the Vajra Lustrous Bone and the jade bone, as if some kind of transformation was taking place.

"You have obtained the Innate Spirit Bone by combining the jade bone and the Vajra Lustrous Bone!"

Golden light appeared, and the Golden Finger provided feedback.

Innate Spirit Bone!

At this moment, Li Xuan felt as if his entire being had been elevated. The flawless jade bone shone with a lustrous light, and a spiritual aura surrounded it, as if it were a naturally formed spirit bone.

With the appearance of the Innate Spirit Bone, Li Xuan's innate true qi was refined and became even stronger.

The chaotic earth spirit energy, which had become violent due to the loss of the earth spirit mechanism, became gentle after entering his body.

"The jade bone + Vajra Lustrous Bone actually resulted in the Innate Spirit Bone, this is unexpected!"

Li Xuan was extremely excited.

He had always been pondering whether the jade bone combined with the Vajra Lustrous Bone would undergo a transformation and become stronger.

He never expected to receive feedback and obtain the Innate Spirit Bone, which significantly elevated his level.

Both the jade bone and the Vajra Lustrous Bone were refined after birth, and compared to the innate spirit bone, they were still lacking.

Moreover, his Innate Spirit Bone combined the characteristics of the jade bone and the Vajra Lustrous Bone.

"I must take more disciples. I have the jade bone and the Vajra Lustrous Bone. What bone should I create next?"

Li Xuan's eyes gleamed, and he once again had the idea of taking new disciples.

After a while, Li Xuan calmed down from his excitement.

Taking new disciples was not something to be done casually, and he needed to create new techniques and a new type of bone.

In the courtyard, Shi Er was swinging his precious saber, striking Meng Chong repeatedly with a dull thud, but he could not injure Meng Chong at all.

Even with his precious saber, it was no different.

He was deeply shocked. With Meng Chong's current strength, even if he stood in the midst of a thousand soldiers, he would not be injured.

His hands ached from the repeated strikes, and Shi Er stopped.

"Too strong!"

His face was full of envy.

Meng Chong was extremely excited, clenching his fists and feeling his own strength, even though he had just entered the realm of martial arts.

"Senior Brother, let's spar!"

Meng Chong eagerly sought out Xu Yan for a sparring match.

"Sure!"

Xu Yan nodded.

The two left the city and went to a forest outside the county.

Shi Er excitedly followed to watch the match.

Li Xuan took a step and appeared in the air above the forest, watching his two disciples spar.

"Junior Brother, you have just entered the realm of martial arts. I will also use the strength of the beginner level to spar with you!"

Xu Yan said, suppressing his own qi and blood, only displaying the qi and blood of the beginner level.

He also wanted to see how strong physical martial arts were.

And whether his pure martial arts could suppress his junior brother at the same level.

Meng Chong had refined the Vajra Lustrous Bone, while Xu Yan had the jade bone. Theoretically, their martial arts foundations were equal.

The strength difference would depend on the individual.

Xu Yan had cultivated sword techniques and the Dragon Subduing Palm, while Meng Chong had not yet cultivated any martial techniques, but before cultivating the Great Sun Golden Bell Shield, he was already comparable to a top expert in the martial world.

He was not a true novice and knew some fist and foot techniques.

"Senior Brother, come on!"

Meng Chong's body was enveloped in a lustrous golden light, his muscles bulging, resembling a vajra arhat, exuding a fierce aura.

Xu Yan's expression was solemn, his qi and blood surging like a fierce fire. His qi and blood were extremely pure, unlike Meng Chong's, which were like a bell, transforming into a lustrous golden light.

Boom!

A palm struck directly at Meng Chong's chest.

Thud!

A dull sound echoed, and Meng Chong's body swayed but remained unharmed.

"Senior Brother, again!"

Meng Chong, now resembling a lustrous golden person, patted his chest.

He had cultivated the Great Sun Golden Bell Shield, and to defeat him, one must break his defense and injure him; otherwise, it was impossible to defeat him.

This was the necessary condition to defeat him!

No matter how flexible the enemy's attacks or how they tried to wear him down, as long as they could not break his Golden Bell Shield, they could not defeat him.

In terms of endurance, a physical martial artist like him would not fear anyone.

This sparring match did not require intense combat. In terms of martial techniques and speed, Meng Chong was currently inferior to Xu Yan.

But if Xu Yan could not break his defense, he could not defeat him.

Even if he tried to wear down Meng Chong, it might not be possible, as their martial arts foundations were roughly the same.

"Alright!"

Xu Yan's blood boiled, and he became excited.

He was also a proud person.

Naturally, he would not rely on his own advantages to bully his junior brother.

So, he lowered his own level, only displaying the strength of the beginner level, and he did not use the Dragon Subduing Palm or sword techniques.

Pure qi and blood attacks.

Boom!

Xu Yan attacked again, his qi and blood bursting, but this time, he did not use his qi and blood to strike Meng Chong. Instead, he gathered his qi and blood in his palm, moved forward, and struck Meng Chong's chest.

Thud!

Meng Chong staggered backward, his body shimmering with lustrous golden light, which seemed about to shatter.

But it eventually stabilized.

Xu Yan raised an eyebrow; this did not break through the defense?

The Great Sun Golden Bell Shield was truly incredibly powerful.

He could feel the strength of Meng Chong's physical body. If that palm had struck another martial artist, they would likely have been numbed by the counterforce.

His flawless jade bone and thick martial arts foundation, along with his powerful qi and blood, prevented him from being affected by the counterforce.

"Again!"

Meng Chong took a deep breath, assumed a horse stance, and the lustrous golden light on his body became even stronger.

A golden bell seemed to envelop his physical body.

"Then again!"

Xu Yan took a deep breath, raised his palm, and his qi and blood condensed without dispersing, with no qi and blood emanating from his body.

He stepped forward, raised his hand, and struck Meng Chong's chest.

Li Xuan watched silently. When Xu Yan struck, he knew the result.

Meng Chong's Great Sun Golden Bell Shield was about to be broken, but the power of Xu Yan's palm was also almost completely neutralized.

It could not cause any harm to Meng Chong.

With Meng Chong's strong physical body, he could naturally withstand it.

Physical martial arts were not such that breaking the Golden Bell Shield would result in severe injuries; it was just a layer of defense.

The true strength still lay in the physical body.

Sure enough!

With one palm, the lustrous golden light on Meng Chong's body shattered with a crack, and Xu Yan's palm pressed against Meng Chong's chest.

Meng Chong staggered, then his qi and blood surged, and the lustrous golden light returned.

"Come, Junior Brother, let's spar!"

Xu Yan said excitedly.

That palm, although it broke through the Golden Bell defense, the palm force was mostly neutralized and could not cause any damage to Meng Chong's strong physical body.

This attack and defense could only be considered evenly matched!

"Alright!"

Meng Chong nodded, stepped forward, and struck a punch.

He used the fist and foot techniques he had learned. Although he could not fully unleash the power of his qi and blood, the techniques were still useful.

Xu Yan did not use the Dragon Subduing Palm but used a palm technique he had learned before.

The two began to spar.

Boom! Trees fell one by one, and the lustrous golden light and fierce qi and blood collided, turning half the forest into flying debris within a short time.

Shi Er was stunned.

Covered in tree debris, he did not care, watching the increasingly intense battle. He felt that if he got any closer and was hit by the aftermath, he would likely suffer broken bones or even die on the spot!

"I feel like an ant now!"

Shi Er thought helplessly.

Li Xuan watched silently. From this sparring match, he had already seen the strengths and weaknesses.

"Xu Yan is still a step ahead. His martial arts are pure, and he is truly too pure. Moreover, the foundation of martial arts started with him!"

Meng Chong was indeed powerful, with his physical martial arts defense unparalleled and the Vajra Lustrous Bone not inferior to the jade bone, but he was still a step behind Xu Yan.

In terms of the purity and foundation of martial arts, Xu Yan was still stronger.

After all, the root of martial arts came from the techniques Xu Yan had created, and in terms of talent, Xu Yan was stronger. Li Xuan was not surprised by this.

In this world, it was impossible to find a disciple stronger than Xu Yan.

He did not continue watching.

Xu Yan's position as the eldest disciple was secure, and he was undoubtedly the strongest.

Boom!

Meng Chong panted, with several palm prints on his body, and he felt pain all over.

"I can't take it anymore, I can't hold on!"

Meng Chong looked helpless.

Xu Yan stopped, with a sigh: "Junior Brother, your physical martial arts are truly powerful!"

He was only slightly weaker.

At the same level, probably no one could break through his junior brother's defense except him.

"Hehe, it's okay, at the same level, I'm just below Senior Brother!"

Meng Chong laughed.

Although he was a step behind, he was not disheartened.

His talent lay in his physical body. If he cultivated the orthodox martial arts like his senior brother, he would not have this strength.

After the sparring match, the two brothers returned to the courtyard.

Xu Yan continued to refine himself, preparing to break through to the Innate Realm.

Meng Chong came to Li Xuan.

"Master, I have entered the realm of martial arts, look?"

He touched his bald head and smiled foolishly.

His senior brother had cultivated the Dragon Subduing Palm, and he should also cultivate a powerful martial technique.

"Master, I don't want to learn palm techniques, I want to learn fist techniques!"

Meng Chong said.

"Alright, I will teach you tomorrow."

Li Xuan nodded.

He had been prepared for this.

"Thank you, Master!"

Meng Chong nodded excitedly.

The next day.

The forest where Meng Chong and Xu Yan had sparred was now a barren land, with no grass or trees.

Li Xuan stood with one hand behind his back, exuding a mysterious aura, his image as a profound expert infinitely elevated.

Meng Chong stood respectfully beside him.

"Disciple, I will only teach the way, not the techniques. I will teach you a fist, not a fist technique, but the way of the fist."

Li Xuan said solemnly.

"The way lies in understanding and enlightenment. You must understand that only by comprehending the way can you remain strong. All techniques lie within the way.

"I will teach you the way of the fist. If you understand it, as your cultivation and realm improve, you will continuously comprehend the way.

"Martial arts have no limits, so I always emphasize understanding and enlightenment, not focusing on form or techniques.

"Do you understand?"

Meng Chong respectfully said, "Master, I understand!"

Li Xuan nodded, turned around, and looked at his second disciple, saying, "I will teach you the Wind and Thunder Vajra Fist. Watch carefully, focus on the meaning, not the techniques."

"Yes, Master!"

Meng Chong nodded.

He thought, "Master's martial arts are truly the true martial arts!"

Li Xuan raised his hand, clenched his fist, and circulated his true qi, then struck a punch.

This punch, with his powerful true qi, was naturally formidable.

Moreover, under his control, the true qi was like thunder, producing a thunderous sound.

It was as if a bolt of lightning had flashed.

Boom!

Meng Chong was shocked, as if he had seen a bolt of lightning strike, turning the distant trees into powder.

Too fast!

Too powerful!

Li Xuan nodded in satisfaction. It was not like before when he had no strength.

Now that he had strength, he naturally wanted to show it, using his formidable strength to shock his disciple and help him understand.

After all, even without any martial techniques, his formidable strength was terrifying.

Boom!

He then swung his fists, this time without the fierce thunderous power.

Instead, it was like a violent storm, his fists swift and penetrating everywhere.

Meng Chong's eyes were dazzled, and he felt a bit dizzy.

"Too strong!

"Master just demonstrated it, and it already has such power, truly incredible!"

Meng Chong was deeply impressed!

Li Xuan, seeing Meng Chong's shocked face, was very satisfied. He put on a stern teacher's face and said, "Disciple, this is the Wind and Thunder Vajra Fist. I demonstrated it at the peak of the qi and blood realm."

He said this without blushing or panting, lying without hesitation.

I am so powerful that the Wind and Thunder Vajra Fist at the qi and blood realm is already comparable to the Innate Realm. Impressive, right?

Let the disciple know that the master is a mountain that cannot be climbed!

Meng Chong's eyes widened. Master demonstrated the Wind and Thunder Vajra Fist at the peak of the qi and blood realm?

That's too terrifying.

Even at the peak of the qi and blood realm, he could not achieve such power!

"Master is indeed the master!"

Li Xuan said solemnly, "The Wind and Thunder Vajra Fist lies in the meaning of wind and thunder. The speed and ferocity of thunder, the formless and penetrating nature of wind.

"What you need to understand is the wind and thunder, the speed and ferocity of the fist, and its formless and penetrating nature.

"I have already demonstrated the speed and ferocity of the Wind and Thunder Vajra Fist and its formless and penetrating nature. You should contemplate it well."

With his far superior strength, the punch he demonstrated was naturally swift, fierce, and penetrating. Now it was up to Meng Chong to understand it.
