Infinite Fighting

Chapter 106: The fifth move of Tathagata Palm, [Buddha appears when the flower blooms]

The strength of the eighteen bronze men is all at [B] level.

In this narrow underground hall, the coordination between them is even more exaggerated.

But their purpose is to test, so they won't kill people.

Even if you accidentally stray into it, the most you'll get is your legs broken or you'll be thrown out.

If a true monk from Yaoshan Temple wants to pass the level, a [C+] level of strength is enough.

If you can hold out for a quarter of an hour in their hands, the three doors behind will open, and you will be considered to have passed the test. You can then choose to learn the inheritance behind any door.

However, according to the players' strategies, if you want to pass safely, it is better to have a strength of [B-].

Otherwise, the vehicle may easily overturn if not operated properly.

After everything was almost ready, Zhang Ji stepped into the hall.

The next moment, the huge gate behind him fell down.

"Boom~!"

This gate, like this hall, is made of black iron, which is extremely tough. Ordinary B-level masters can only leave marks on it but cannot actually break it.

After Zhang Ji's gravity affected the floor, the eighteen bronze men were also activated.

Golden energy lines on their bodies lit up, showing different patterns.

Those are formation patterns, the technology that Tong Zun brought back from another world.

These bronze puppets were also made by him using technology from another world.

At this time, one of the bronze men moved, and the black iron stick in his hand swept out.

"歘~!"

Zhang Ji wanted to test the opponent's strength, so when faced with the stick, he did not dodge, but punched towards the black iron stick.

"Dang~!"

Zhang Ji did not move, but swung the black iron stick to the side, and the bronze man slid out.

Before Zhang Ji could make a move, the remaining seventeen bronze men also moved.

“Shush, shush, shush~!”

Seventeen black iron sticks swept out at the same time and hit Zhang Ji wildly.

Zhang Ji dodged quickly, punching, slapping, and kicking from time to time to block the incoming sticks.

He faced eighteen bronze men alone and fought without any pressure.

The attacks of the eighteen bronze men are also escalating.

They have a very simple mechanism, which is that they will continue to upgrade according to the strength of the attacker.

The highest level is [B].

As Zhang Ji repelled them, their strength quickly rose to the B-level.

At this time, every time the stick is swept out, it is accompanied by strong wind pressure, and the power index is absolutely unstoppable by ordinary people.

“Clang clang clang clang~!”

The sticks fell on the black iron ground, leaving many pits.

Zhang Ji flexed his muscles, raised his hand to catch the stick, and bent his knees slightly.

"Let's see who's stronger!"

Zhang Ji suddenly exerted force with his right arm and lifted the bronze man with the black iron stick. Then he swept out with the bronze man in his hand.

“Huff, huff, huff~!”

"Bang bang bang bang bang~!"

"Dang-dang-dang-dang~!"

All the sticks hit the bronze man, and Zhang Ji also kept swinging the bronze man to hit the other bronze men.

Every time it swung, it could sweep them away and hit the wall a hundred meters away hard.

However, these bronze men were really durable, and Zhang Ji was unable to break them even after torturing them like that.

After hitting the black iron wall, he was able to stand up again in less than a breath and attack Zhang Ji.

"The puppet with (epic) materials is a bit stiff!" Zhang Ji said with emotion.

That’s right, when these bronze men were forged, an (epic) material called “Shoushan Copper” was added.

Not much, but enough for them to create an indestructible coating.

Even Zhang Ji’s spiritual particles cannot penetrate this coating.

Generally speaking, it is impossible to break this coating without special fighting skills or A-level strength.

If the Vajra Sect had been able to enter this world and gain access to these eighteen bronze men, it would definitely not have been destroyed.

They can even rule the Dongji Kingdom in turn.

However, it is difficult to get the permission to use these eighteen bronze men. One has to learn the first move [Compassionate Deliverance] in the "Tathagata Palm" and master it before one can use the palm technique to modify them.

“Buzz buzz buzz! Boom! Bang!”

Zhang Ji threw away the bronze man in his hand, and at the same time, a buzzing sound rang out from his body. He punched the bronze man and knocked him against the wall.

However, it still stood up again after lying down for a while.

This is Zhang Ji's strongest punch under normal circumstances.

But it still did not cause any damage to the bronze man. Instead, a dent appeared on the hall made of black iron, caused by the bronze man.

If you want to knock them out of action, you might have to use [Spiritual Attack].

Shenlong Wave and [Wind God Kick] probably won't work.

Because the Yuan Qi he compressed just now did not break the defense at all, it just pushed the bronze man away.

"Kaka~!"

Suddenly, the sound of a mechanism was heard, and the eighteen bronze men stopped moving at the first moment, standing in place as if they were attacking Zhang Ji.

Behind the three-headed, eight-armed demon-subduing Vajra, three gates opened.

Zhang Ji let out a breath of foul air.

Although these eighteen bronze men posed no threat to him, he couldn't destroy them, which was a bit disgusting.

Zhang Ji walked through the hall and came to the three big doors at the back.

"Mercy, solemnity, and angry eyes? Do I need to choose? I definitely want them all!" Zhang Ji said.

If you go in from here, you can come out through another exit.

But there is no rule that you cannot repeat the challenge.

So he can enter a door and then come back to challenge a second time.

However, for the first choice, Zhang Ji still chose the [Angry Gate] which he had chosen when he read the guide.

After stepping into the door, the door behind him fell down, blocking Zhang Ji's way back.

This black iron door is at least one meter thick, so it is a bit difficult for Zhang Ji to break it open or lift it up.

In front of him was a passage with light collected from the outside world on both sides, illuminating the inside.

There are some murals on the walls on both sides.

That is a story describing the angry King Kong displaying his power.

It is nothing more than holding the demon-subduing pestle and the precept-breaking sword to kill evil demons and bad people.

If you think about it carefully, the three-headed, eight-armed Vajra has weapons held in two of its arms, which correspond to the sword and the demon-subduing pestle.

"Is there any related martial arts inheritance here?" Zhang Ji guessed.

As he thought about it, he had reached the end.

Inside is a stone chamber with many grooves on the walls, which are obviously used to store things.

Zhang Ji had some impression.

He remembered that these grooves should be filled with various martial arts.

However, most of the martial arts were taken away.

At this time, there was only one "Vajra Indestructible Body Divine Art" left. Looking around, there were three large depressions in the middle, two of which were empty, and the remaining one contained a sculpture made of black iron that looked like a book.

Zhang Ji stepped forward and picked it up with both hands.

This thing looks only the size of a normal book, but it weighs at least 100 kilograms.

The scripture contains ancient characters from the Xia Yu Kingdom and a diagram of the meridians.

The characters of the Dongji Kingdom are somewhat similar to those of the Xiayu Kingdom, so this is an ancient character, and Zhang Ji can barely recognize some of it.

Written at the top were the five words [Vajra Indestructible Body], with details of cultivation in the middle. Zhang Ji couldn't understand most of them, so he had to go back and use the ancient language APP he downloaded earlier to translate them.

However, he could understand most of the function description at the end.

"After achieving success, once you start practicing, your skin will be covered in golden light, resembling a diamond, hence the name. When you practice to perfection, you will be invulnerable to water and fire, swords and spears, and your body will not be destroyed for ten thousand years."

As for the meridian diagram next to it, it is exactly the same as the one of the Buddha outside.

So this also made Zhang Ji confirm his guess.

The Vajra Sect did indeed develop the "Vajra Indestructible Body Divine Art" through the Great Buddha, but did not succeed in entering the Xu Realm.

With a thought, Zhang Ji opened the [Ark of Hope] space in his left hand and placed the black iron sculpture into it.

Then he came to a stone door in the stone chamber and exerted slight force.

"Boom boom boom~!"

The mechanism turned and the stone door opened, revealing a road leading to the outside world.

Zhang Ji walked all the way and came directly to the bottom of a well outside the Martial Monks' Court.

The stone manhole cover above was not rotten, so Zhang Ji pushed it open easily.

Then he came out from the bottom of the well and went straight to the monks' courtyard.

When he entered the main hall, he glanced at the statue of Tong Zun and entered the test site again.

Soon he arrived outside the hall where the Eighteen Bronze Men Formation was located.

This time he took a closer look at the three-headed, eight-armed Vajra.

The three heads show expressions of compassion, solemnity and anger respectively.

As for the eight arms.

On the angry side, three arms appeared as a demon-subduing pestle, a precept-breaking knife, and one hand was in the shape of a claw.

On Cibei's side, his three arms held the Demon-Suppressing Bell and the Evil-Slaying Sword respectively, and one of his hands was a fist.

Zhuang Yan is in the middle, with only two arms, one holding a sword and the other a palm.

This should represent eight different types of martial arts fighting skills.

The only thing Zhang Ji could guess was what the palm corresponded to.

That should be the (epic) fighting skill of "Rulai Palm".

Correspondingly, the remaining seven are most likely also (epic) fighting skills.

However, apart from "Rulai God Palm", he had never heard of the others. It was highly likely that they were not passed down. Otherwise, with the player's ability to explore, there is no reason why Zhang Ji would not be aware of the (epic) level fighting skills native to the Origin Star.

"It's a pity."

With a sigh, Zhang Ji stepped into it again.

Then there was another fierce battle.

Well, he just kept knocking away all the attacking bronze men or dodging their attacks.

This time Zhang Ji learned his lesson.

Don't use your full strength, just maintain an output of around [C+], so that the Bronze Man can maintain the output at the lowest level, which will save you a lot of trouble.

After about a quarter of an hour, the bronze man stopped moving and the door opened again.

"Just be merciful this time!"

Zhang Ji said this and walked into the Gate of Mercy.

In the same passage, the murals describe stories of monks wearing robes and performing compassionate deeds. The martial arts they used also correspond to bells, swords, and fists.

There is also a stone chamber at the end of the passage.

But it was completely empty inside, there was nothing in those grooves.

"Not even one book was left. It's really too clean!"

Zhang Ji was a little unhappy that the trip was in vain, but he still pushed the door open and went out.

This time, he came out from a quiet room inside the Sutra Library.

However, the Sutra Repository had long been in disrepair. The buildings had collapsed and were in such bad shape that there was not even a piece of paper left, let alone the sutras.

Zhang Ji returned to the Martial Monks' Temple and entered the Eighteen Bronze Men Formation again.

This time, halfway through the fight, the movements of the eighteen bronze men suddenly slowed down, and then they stopped moving.

The array patterns on their bodies gradually dimmed and lost their glow.

"No energy left?" Zhang Ji asked in surprise.

He thought these things could last for a long time, but now it seems that they can only last about half an hour.

According to the information Zhang Ji knew, these bronze men were charged by gathering and extracting certain substances from the air through the array patterns on their bodies and converting them into energy.

It will take about a month to fully charge.

Charge for a month and use for half an hour.

It's just so lame.

Therefore, even among players, few of these things have collected them.

After all, it is far inferior to the later versions of AI robots.

With the support of miniaturized fusion reactors, those things can sustain high-intensity combat for a long time, and it is also easy to replace the reactor.

In the next few minutes, Zhang Ji studied and visited these bronze men at close range and looked at the array patterns on their bodies.

But unfortunately, he failed to come up with anything.

The densely packed lines on it feel like an enlarged chip image.

He used his mind to scan and found that there were lines nested within the lines, which were extremely complex.

This is technology from another world.

Zhang Ji remembered that there were players in the [School of Logic] who carved array patterns on their bodies, directly turning themselves into human array plates. They did not need to learn any related fighting skills, but could directly activate and use them through energy and array formations.

It's a bit like a skill slot.

Compared to learning slowly through muscle memory, this is undoubtedly much faster and is a definite shortcut.

The body parts are limited, and in order to engrave more skills, those players often turn themselves into freaks, and it is very common to transplant dozens of extra arms.

Zhang Ji also played a match with a [Neo-Confucianist] player named [Master of Hundred Hands].

I can only say that I was afraid of him raising his hand.

Every time he raises his hand, a different skill is activated, and you have no idea what he is going to do next.

This kind of hand-raising monster is really disgusting!
"Kakaka~!"

As Zhang Ji was thinking about this, the mechanism started to turn again and the three doors opened again.

So, Zhang Ji walked directly to the last [Majestic Door].

The same passage describes the story of an enlightened being wearing clean and tidy clothes, with a solemn appearance, walking through the world holding a sword and waving his hands.

There is also a stone chamber at the back.

Just when Zhang Ji thought that he would fail this time, he saw a black iron book placed in a groove in the upper left corner.

He walked up and took it down.

There are densely packed small characters, and next to it there is an image of a monk raising his palm, which clearly depicts the route of the Yuan Qi flowing through the tendons and veins.

Zhang Ji couldn't recognize the words, so he took out his mobile phone and used an app to scan and translate them.

When he saw this, his eyes widened.

"The fifth move of the Tathagata Palm, [Buddha Appears When the Flower Blooms]?"
