Maoshan World: The young marshal starts!

Chapter 67 Great increase in strength
Guan Shaoqing was not surprised that his martial arts skills had not broken through to the Grandmaster level.

After all, "The Thirteen Taibao's Horizontal Training" is just an external martial arts technique.

To break through to the Grandmaster level in martial arts, one needs to reach the Grandmaster level in both external and internal martial arts skills and achieve unity of internal and external.

However, Guan Shaoqing had not even practiced the internal skills of martial arts yet, so it was not surprising that although he had broken through to the thirteenth level of "The Thirteen Taibao's Horizontal Training Skills", his own martial arts skills had not broken through from the peak of external martial arts skills to the level of a martial arts grandmaster.

However, Guan Shaoqing did not expect that after breaking through the thirteenth level of "The Thirteen Taibao's Horizontal Training", there would be an additional realm for the master of martial arts to break through the limit.

He is not even a half-step martial arts grandmaster?
I, Guan Shaoqing, don’t quite agree with this.

Judging from the literal meaning, this breaking of the limit obviously means breaking the limit of the master of martial arts external skills. The strength improvement brought about is also amazing, which is definitely far beyond the improvement brought about by previous breakthroughs in small realms and is comparable to breakthroughs in large realms.

Especially the point that the qi and blood are released like a raging fire.

Guan Shaoqing clearly remembered that Wu San did not mention this when he first talked to him about the situation of the martial arts grandmaster.

Is it that even martial arts grandmasters cannot release their Qi and blood like he does now, or is it that Wu San himself doesn't know?

Guan Shaoqing couldn't help but guess in his heart.

"I don't know if Master knows the answer to this question, but I can talk to him about it."

Guan Shaoqing thought to himself, then looked at the remaining merit points on the information panel.

There are only 20 merit points left at this time.

Now, "The Thirteen Taibao's Horizontal Training" has completely broken through to the thirteenth level of perfection, and the cultivation of martial arts external skills has also reached the level of a master of external skills, breaking the limit and not being able to be improved or improved.

Then it is time for me to switch to practicing internal martial arts. Once my internal martial arts skills are improved, I can combine the inside and outside to become a martial arts grandmaster.

Guan Shaoqing had already acquired the martial arts internal power training method a long time ago. It was the "Martial Arts Changchun Gong" that he got from his master. It was also created by his ancestor of Maoshan, who was extremely talented in martial arts and was known as the Martial Saint of the World.

And like "The Thirteen Taibao's Horizontal Training Kung Fu", "The Martial Arts of Eternal Spring" is also divided into thirteen levels. The cultivation value required to break through the first level is also 1, which is equivalent to 1 point of merit. I just don't know whether the cultivation value required for subsequent breakthroughs is the same as "The Thirteen Taibao's Horizontal Training Kung Fu".

[Ding! Do you want to spend 1 point of merit to upgrade the "Martial Arts Changchun Gong" to the first level?]

Promote.

Guan Shaoqing did not hesitate at all and started to use the remaining merit points to improve his martial arts internal skills again.

As the energy transformed from merit points poured into his body, Guan Shaoqing soon felt a sense of energy slowly emerging in his body.

This energy feeling was a little weak, like a spring breeze, flowing slowly in my body.

[Ding! Upgrade completed. "Martial Arts Changchun Gong" has been upgraded to the first level.]

The message prompt from the Book of Creation sounded in my mind.

"Is this the inner energy?"

Guan Shaoqing couldn't help but carefully feel the energy emerging from his body.

It is said that external skills train the body, while internal skills train the qi.

The core of external martial arts skills is to strengthen the body and temper the physical body through practice.

The core of martial arts internal power lies in Qi, which is strengthened through practice. However, the Qi of martial arts internal power is different from that of cultivators.

The practice of a monk is to absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth into the body and transform it into spiritual power and magic power.
However, the internal energy of martial arts is completely born from the body of the martial artist through practice. This energy is also closely related to the martial artist's physical body, and has the function of regulating and nourishing the martial artist's physical body.

Therefore, the internal power of martial arts is also called health-preserving power, which has the effect of nourishing the body and prolonging life.

[Ding! Do you want to spend 2 points of merit to upgrade the "Martial Arts Changchun Gong" to the second level?]

[Ding! Do you want to spend 3 points of merit to upgrade the "Martial Arts Changchun Gong" to the third level?]

[Ding! Do you want to spend 5 points of merit to upgrade the "Martial Arts Changchun Gong" to the fourth level?]

【.】

Afterwards, Guan Shaoqing continued to use the remaining merit points to upgrade the "Martial Arts Changchun Gong" to the fourth level.

At this time, the energy in Guan Shaoqing's body directly increased several times, like a trickle of water flowing in his body.

As this energy flowed through him, Guan Shaoqing felt as if his entire body had been rejuvenated, like a parched field receiving a gentle rain. The energy blended with the energy and began to glow with unprecedented vitality. Guan Shaoqing also had a hunch that once the energy born from his internal martial arts skills grew to a certain level and completely merged with his body, his martial arts cultivation would reach a new level.

"call--"

Then he let out a long breath.

Guan Shaoqing also stopped and did not continue to improve and break through because he did not have enough merit points.

The cultivation value required to break through the fifth level of "Martial Arts Changchun Gong" is 10, which is equivalent to 10 merit points. After upgrading "Martial Arts Changchun Gong" to the fourth level, Guan Shaoqing only has 9 merit points left.

However, Guan Shaoqing was already satisfied with the improvement this time. Not only had the "Thirteen Taibao Horizontal Training Kung Fu" been improved to the highest level of the thirteenth level, but the "Martial Arts Changchun Kung Fu" had also been improved to the fourth level.

"I just don't know how my current strength compares to that of a martial arts grandmaster or a Jindan cultivator."

Finally, Guan Shaoqing couldn't help but say in his heart.

His current strength is definitely far beyond that of a martial arts master or a cultivator at the realm of true enlightenment.

But compared with the martial arts grandmasters and the golden elixir masters, it is a little uncertain.

After all, I haven't seen it yet.

Then he spent more than half an hour familiarizing himself with the newly improved cultivation strength.

Guan Shaoqing also returned to the inn under the cover of night.
-
"Brother, you and Shaoqing still have to hurry to Mount Mao, so I won't delay you any longer. We'll meet again later."

"Okay, see you later."

"Goodbye, uncle."

"Goodbye, Uncle and Brother."

"."

The next morning, after finishing breakfast at the inn, Guan Shaoqing and his uncle Jiu also said goodbye to Qianhe and his apprentice. Because Qianhe had a business in western Guangdong, Qianhe was going to western Guangdong next, and would not take the same route as Guan Shaoqing and his apprentice.

After the two sides said goodbye, Qianhe took his four disciples from the east, south, west and north to western Guangdong.

Guan Shaoqing and his uncle Jiu continued to rush to Maoshan.

"Your cultivation has broken through again."

However, just after he and Qianhe and his four disciples had walked out of the town, Uncle Jiu couldn't help but look at Guan Shaoqing and asked.

Because compared to yesterday, Guan Shaoqing's whole temperament now gives people the feeling that he has changed drastically.

"Master, you have a keen eye. I made some progress in my martial arts last night. Now my external martial arts skills have reached perfection. Next, I will practice my internal martial arts skills and strive to become a martial arts grandmaster."

Upon hearing this, Guan Shaoqing did not hide anything and told the truth.

"Well, you can arrange your own cultivation. If you can truly reach the Grandmaster level in martial arts, then in today's world, based solely on your martial arts cultivation, you will be able to stand at the top."

Uncle Jiu nodded when he heard this.

"Master, do you know anything about the Grandmaster of Martial Arts?" Guan Shaoqing asked again.

Uncle Jiu shook his head. "My main focus is cultivation. My martial arts cultivation is far from even reaching Grandmaster status, so how can I understand a Grandmaster? Moreover, looking at the world from ancient times to the present, there are only a handful of Grandmasters. Compared to Golden Core cultivators, there are even fewer Grandmasters. It's probably difficult for outsiders to understand that realm except for myself."

Guan Shaoqing couldn't help feeling disappointed when he heard this.

I originally wanted to ask my master, the martial arts grandmaster, for specific information, but now it seems impossible.

But if you think about it, it is understandable. After all, Uncle Jiu mainly studies Taoism and has only briefly dabbled in martial arts.

"Then I wonder if Master has any understanding of the strength of the martial arts grandmasters and the golden elixir masters. I want to see how far my current strength is from that level?" Guan Shaoqing asked again.

"If you want to know, when you get to Maoshan, ask your uncles for guidance, and you'll know everything," said Uncle Jiu.

Guan Shaoqing thought it was okay after hearing this.

With the comparison, he can make a concrete judgment on his current strength.
