Comprehensive Martial Arts: Relying on Pili Martial Arts to Achieve Dimensionality Reduction Attack

Chapter 525: Defeating the Divine Power
In my entire life, I have never seen anyone who knows how to show off so well!
The sweeping monk secretly sighed in his heart, but still maintained a faint smile on his face: "Since the layman has chosen the weapon, then this old monk will start the attack!"

He didn't think that the dead leaf in Lu Ping's hand was much worse than the best sword in the world.

When masters fight each other, idle talk is unnecessary.

The Sweeping Monk's right hand was as skinny as his body, but when he held the cloth stick, it was quite powerful, which was totally unlike the demeanor of an octogenarian.

He just raised his arm and held the cloth stick high. Although his movement was not fast, his momentum was quite amazing.

"It's the Dharma Sword Technique!"

The head monk of Dharma Academy immediately recognized the martial arts used by the Sweeping Monk. He carefully observed the Sweeping Monk's movements for a few seconds and couldn't help but marvel at them.

"Sure enough, it is the same martial arts that I used just now, both are very exquisite. This sweeping monk's attainments in both Buddhism and martial arts are the best in the history of our Shaolin..."

Upon hearing this, all the monks nodded in agreement.

When they first saw the Sweeping Monk, they were actually a little dissatisfied.

After all, I have practiced Shaolin Kung Fu all my life, but when I turned around, I found that someone had already taken the lead. No one would be happy.

But as the Sweeping Monk displayed more and more martial arts, his dissatisfaction gradually dissipated, and was replaced by deep admiration.

Because the two sides are no longer on the same level.

The sweeping monk thrust the cloth sword in his hand straight forward and leaped towards Lu Ping.

This sword looks extremely simple, without many tricks, and it seems that anyone can dodge it. However, only those who are in the game and face it personally can feel its horror.

The surging internal force spread in the air along the cloth sword, forming a special invisible aura that covered an area of ​​three meters in radius.

The Qi is blocked, and this sword is unavoidable. The best way to deal with it is to meet it head-on.

Lu Pingnian followed his heart and turned his wrist. The dead leaves between his fingers drew an arc in the air and finally collided with the cloth stick that was coming towards him.

Bah!
A strong wind swept around, and in the blink of an eye, several thick sword marks were cut on the ground.

Lu Ping and the Sweeping Monk did not move, but instead channeled their endless internal energy into the cloth sticks and dead leaves in their hands, launching an extremely dangerous internal energy battle.

The two different internal forces were equally full and powerful, sometimes as strong as a mountain, sometimes as surging as the sea. In the continuous collisions, the three-foot space around them was suddenly distorted.

After a few breaths, the two were each repelled by the other's internal force, but before they could stand firm, they turned back at an even faster speed and used new sword moves to respond.

Although a cloth stick is strong, a dead leaf is more dangerous.

The two of them went back and forth like this, with their bodies intertwined and their eyes locked, engaging in short and thrilling sword fights again and again.

Thirty moves passed in a blink of an eye. The Sweeping Monk suddenly changed his moves, turning the sword into a knife, using a set of compassionate knife techniques. Not long after, he turned the knife into a stick and a cane, using all the weapon skills in the seventy-two unique skills.

Seeing this, Lu Ping also changed his moves, focusing on fighting with swords, chopping with knives, and parrying with sticks and canes with spears and sticks.

The sword moves are complicated and gorgeous, the knife moves are concise and powerful, and the spears, sticks, and clubs are powerful and heavy with a hint of madness.

The methods used by both sides are endless and each has its own characteristics, and every move is a supreme skill.

Three hundred moves passed in the blink of an eye. Lu Ping was getting more and more excited, while the Sweeping Monk was getting more and more frightened.

This is because the old monk discovered that no matter what moves he used, Lu Ping had a new set of martial arts to break it. The 72 Shaolin unique skills that were famous in the martial arts world were completely useless at this time!
As time passed, the Sweeping Monk gradually showed signs of fatigue and his movements became slower and slower. It was obvious that his strength was running out.

Seeing this scene, the onlookers around began to whisper.

"It seems that this sweeping monk is going to lose..."

"It is said that the young are better than the strong. After all, the old veterans are old, so it is normal that they cannot match the young people in physical strength."

“It’s not just about physical strength, but also about mentality!”

"The old senior has studied Buddhism and the 72 Shaolin Kung Fu techniques for decades. It is no exaggeration to say that his achievements are the best in the history of Shaolin. But now he can't even beat a young man. Even if he has a high state of mind, he must be greatly shocked."

"Brother, what you said makes sense..."

“It’s understandable that I can’t match the young man in terms of physical strength, but why can’t I match him in terms of internal strength? The two of them have been fighting for almost half an hour, but it seems like Master Lu’s internal strength will never run out…”

"Or maybe this is genius? It's useless for us ordinary people to envy it."

During the conversation, the fight between the two people in the field finally ended.

After a heavy collision, Lu Ping and the Sweeping Monk each withdrew from the battle circle.

At this moment, the whole yard looked as if it had been turned over by a bulldozer, and it was half a meter lower than the outside.

As far as the eye could see, there were countless stones and sand scattered on the ground, the ground was full of holes and sword marks, and even the courtyard walls had collapsed.

When Lu Ping was fighting with the Sweeping Monk just now, he deliberately avoided the Sutra Library. However, the courtyard was destroyed and the foundation was also damaged. Therefore, although the entire Sutra Library did not appear to be damaged much, the inside was crumbling.

The courtyard was beaten up like this, and the Shaolin Temple had to renovate it again, which was bound to be a large expense, and it was definitely not good news for the next abbot. However, the Shaolin Temple was a big business, with a lot of money and a lot of worship, so this little money was nothing to them.

The sweeping monk dispersed the internal energy wrapped around the cloth stick, turning it into an old monk's robe, which he put back on. Then he put his hands together and bowed slightly to Lu Ping.

"Master, your martial arts are unrivaled. I admit defeat!"

It was not until this time that everyone was surprised to find that the Sweeping Monk was sweating and panting, and the monk's robe on his body had several holes in it and became tattered.

It was obviously torn apart by the energy from the dead leaves during the previous weapon duel.

If this is the case with a cloth stick, what about a dead leaf?
Holding on to the last glimmer of hope, everyone turned to look at Lu Ping and the dead leaf in his hand.

But he was surprised to find that there was not even a drop of sweat on Lu Ping's face. His breathing was just a little faster, which was similar to that of an ordinary person sprinting one kilometer.

As for the dead leaf, it was miraculously intact, just like when Lu Ping first got it. There wasn't even a crack on it!

The last glimmer of hope was shattered and the monks finally gave up.

In today's battle, their Shaolin's 72 unique skills were completely defeated!
At this moment, the sweeping monk suddenly said, "I have a question I would like to ask Mr. Lu."

Lu Ping had just won the battle and was in a good mood. He said loudly, "What's the problem? Feel free to ask!"

This battle was the third one he had fought seriously since coming to Beiwulin.

Just looking at the damage caused by the battle, it can be seen that the Sweeping Monk's strength is obviously inferior to that of Yan Kuangtu and Xiao Qiu Shui whom he had met before.

"During the fight just now, I used a total of forty-six Shaolin skills, but Master Lu seemed to have anticipated it and was able to respond one step ahead every time."

"Could it be that Master Lu has fought with someone who is proficient in Shaolin's unique skills before, so he has already figured out a way to break it?"

The "mastery" that the Sweeping Monk mentioned here is not as simple as mastering a few unique skills. It means the kind of "mastery" that one, like himself, has mastered twenty or thirty kinds of Shaolin unique skills and can use them freely.

But there are only a handful of such people even in the entire history of Shaolin Temple. How could Lu Ping, a young man in his twenties, get any combat experience?

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Lu Ping, wanting to hear his answer.

But Lu Ping not only did not reply, but even fell into deep thought: "Well..."

In fact, the Sweeping Monk's guess was not wrong. Lu Ping had indeed fought with a master who was proficient in Shaolin's unique skills, that was the "Immortal Monk" Du Fa from Dongwulin.

Du Fa had a profound understanding of both Buddhism and martial arts.

Although his famous skill is the burning wood sword technique, but if he masters one skill, he can master all skills. Those Shaolin skills can be used at will.

To be able to achieve the same level of proficiency as the Sweeping Monk in dozens of Shaolin martial arts, Du Fa must have also achieved that level long ago.

When Lu Ping fought against it in the past, he had the honor of seeing it.

It's just that Du Fa has always adhered to the concept of "it's better to be intensive in one thing than to be extensive in it", so he rarely shows more of his methods to the eyes of the people in the world.

What puzzled Lu Ping was that the Northern Martial Arts Forest was obviously very isolated and did not have many channels of communication with the other three martial arts forests. But why were the Shaolin skills used by the Sweeping Monk just now exactly the same as the Shaolin skills in the Eastern Martial Arts Forest?
"Old monk, do you know where these 72 Shaolin unique skills come from?"

The Sweeping Monk didn't expect Lu Ping to ask about the origin of Shaolin's unique skills instead of answering. He was stunned for a moment, and after hesitating for a few seconds, he replied: "Shaolin's various magical skills were originally left behind by Bodhidharma when he traveled here in the past. Later, monks from different generations added to and improved them, and finally they became the current 72 unique skills."

Lu Ping smiled and said, "That's right. I once fought with a Buddhist monk in Dongwulin. They also had seventy-two unique skills, which are similar to the martial arts you have here."

"Eastern Wulin?!"

All the monks present were stunned, except for the monk who was sweeping the floor, who suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. This is not surprising."

Shaolin is the Zen sect of Buddhism, and its founder is Bodhidharma. In this world of martial arts, there is only one Bodhidharma, and he existed before the changes in Shenzhou.

It is said that Bodhidharma studied Buddhism for many years, then traveled around China, founded Zen Buddhism, and left behind countless traditions in various places, which lasted for decades.

Therefore, the Buddhist sects of the four major martial arts actually have the same origin.

The sweeping monk asked, "Have you ever heard that there was a man in Shaolin who mastered 23 unique skills?"

"I've heard a little about it." Lu Ping nodded, not understanding why the Sweeping Monk suddenly mentioned this.

The sweeping monk continued, "Before he became a monk in Shaolin, he was already a Buddhist disciple. It is said that his master before he came to Shaolin was a senior monk who came from Dongwulin to preach the scriptures."

"This person followed the monk to practice Buddhism for many years. Before coming to Shaolin, he had already learned twelve of the seventy-two unique skills. After becoming a monk, he spent several decades selecting the best and removing the worst of the seventy-two unique skills in the temple, adding, deleting, and modifying them, and at the same time learned the remaining eleven unique skills."

“So some of the seventy-two unique skills that are now treasured in the temple actually came from Dongwulin.”

Born in the East Wulin and taught scriptures, Lu Ping could probably guess who the so-called "master" was, and if nothing unexpected happened, it was Master Xuanzang.

It doesn’t matter if he guessed wrong, Lu Ping doesn’t care much about these things.

To him, these past events were nothing more than "easter eggs" in the game when he traveled around China.
