When you do everything to the extreme

Chinese martial arts have two major origins!
The earliest form was figurative boxing.

In ancient times, when the ancestors of the Chinese people struggled with many wild beasts in nature for resources, they began to imitate the lifestyles of many powerful wild beasts in order to improve themselves.

Secondly, there were the Hundred Schools of Thought, with Taoism being the primary one, which later evolved into Taoism as a religion.

The core pursuit of Taoism and Taoism is to achieve immortality and follow the natural order. Therefore, many martial arts are derived from the natural world, with the ultimate goal of achieving immortality.

Therefore, the condensation of the golden elixir is the core pursuit of Taoist martial arts. Many later internal martial arts evolved from Taoist martial arts, so they all share the same ultimate goal.

However, some martial arts practitioners have too shallow a foundation to pursue such an ultimate realm.

Even if practitioners of martial arts such as Xingyiquan, Bajiquan, Baguazhang, Yang-style Taiji, and Hung Kuen reach a level of perfection or higher, it is almost impossible for them to condense a golden elixir.

Only the original Tai Chi from Wudang Mountain could possibly achieve this.

Similarly, many Buddhist martial arts share the same ultimate goal.

Chinese Buddhist martial arts are almost all derived from the integration of various Chinese Taoist martial arts, and therefore share the same ultimate goal.

The Golden Bell Cover that Wang Xiao saw was the culmination of the Taoist pursuit of the Golden Elixir and longevity. Rather than calling it a martial art, it was more like a martial arts school with many branches, including the Dragon and Tiger Imitation Fist, which harmonizes Yin and Yang, uses heaven and earth as a furnace to temper the body, and then uses the body as a furnace to condense the Golden Elixir within.

After reading it, Wang Xiao felt once again that he had been a frog in a well, never having touched the true path of martial arts.

I used to think that condensing internal energy made me a great master, but in reality, I was nothing more than someone who had just stepped into the threshold of martial arts.

perhaps!

Wang Xiao now believes that possessing a martial art at its perfect level is the true threshold to touching the martial arts path.

If one cannot even fully comprehend a single martial art, then it is even more impossible to break free from the shackles of perfection, and one is therefore not qualified to pursue the Golden Core realm.

After having a hearty meal with Yang Xiaoyu, Dong Yuexi, and Han Ruoyun, Wang Xiao returned to his room to study the Golden Bell Shield technique. He studied it for several more hours before finally going to sleep.

The next morning, Wang Xiao studied for more than an hour again until Zhang Jun, Sun Hong, and others came to meet him and prepare to leave for Europe to participate in the competition. Only then did he stop.

A new skill has also appeared on his panel information.

Dan Ding Gong: Not even at the beginning!
This Taoist Golden Bell Cover technique is recognized by the system as the Alchemy Cauldron Technique, which is quite descriptive. It uses the universe itself as a cauldron to refine the golden elixir.

What is the Golden Elixir?
After studying it for so long, Wang Xiao gradually came to understand.

The Golden Elixir is actually the condensation of Qi and Blood into an elixir!

The Golden Elixir pursued by Taoism is a condensed elixir of Qi and blood, which can preserve most of the Qi, blood and vitality, reduce the body's consumption, and thus greatly extend lifespan.

In martial arts combat, condensing the Qi and Blood Golden Core can greatly increase the control of Qi and Blood and the body, and greatly enhance the explosive power of Qi and Blood, which is a true realm of another level.

Tai Chi Chuan is actually a culmination of many Taoist concepts and martial arts.

Harmonizing Yin and Yang brings the body into balance, and then using slow movements to circulate Qi and blood reduces bodily strain.

The core concept of health preservation is actually about conserving energy and reducing physical strain.

Therefore, the Taoist Golden Elixir Method can provide a stronger control over Qi and blood, allowing for precise control over the Qi and blood consumed by every movement and breath, avoiding any waste and thus prolonging life.

at the same time!

The Taoist Golden Elixir Method actually has a superficial meaning.

The condensed essence of qi and blood will appear golden.

because!

The cultivation process of Dan Ding Gong will greatly improve physical fitness and enhance the strength of Qi and blood. It will continuously refine bones and marrow, eventually making the blood stronger and containing more energy. When it condenses into a pill, it will be golden in color, symbolizing immortality!
Wang Xiao was filled with anticipation for this alchemy technique.

This profound and extensive Taoist Golden Elixir Method, spanning tens of gigabytes, contains no combat techniques, no methods for condensing internal energy, and nothing else whatsoever. It is entirely about the mysteries of tempering the body and condensing the Golden Elixir!
When the time came, Wang Xiao put aside his thoughts and planned to focus on cultivating the Dan Ding Gong after returning from the competition.

Stepping outside, Wang Xiao saw Li Minzhu still standing there. He whispered to Yang Xiaoyu, "Xiaoyu, go and take her inside the martial arts school. Tell her to stay here and guard the school until we return!"

Yang Xiaoyu nodded: "Okay!"

Yang Xiaoyu also breathed a slight sigh of relief. She had actually wanted to persuade Wang Xiao to accept Li Minzhu for a long time.

After all, Lee Min-joo is exceptionally talented and has shown such sincerity.

However, since Wang Xiao didn't say anything, she naturally wouldn't interfere with Wang Xiao's decision.

At this point, Wang Xiao was willing to give Li Minzhu a chance, which Yang Xiaoyu was naturally happy to see.

Wang Xiao said to Han Ruoyun, "Ruoyun, don't follow me around the martial arts school. Teach Li Minzhu Tiger Form Fist and see how good her aptitude is."

Han Ruoyun nodded: "Okay, Master!"

Although she really wanted to go to the competition with her master Wang Xiao, she also knew that there was always danger when Wang Xiao went to the competition. She was so young and weak, and she would only become a burden to her master if she went. It was better for her to stay at home and guard the house.

Wang Xiao glanced at Li Minzhu from afar, their eyes met, and he nodded slightly to her before quickly leaving with Zhang Jun and the others.

Han Ruoyun walked over and said to Li Minzhu, "Come with me! Master wants you to learn Tiger Style Fist from me. We'll see how you perform."

Li Minzhu was overjoyed, her weathered, dark face beaming with happiness as she asked, "Really? Master has accepted me?"

Han Ruoyun shook her head: "Not yet!"

The surrounding crowd erupted in excitement.

They've been keeping an eye on Li Minzhu all along. In fact, Li Minzhu is a source of traffic for many self-media outlets and livestreamers. They keep hyping up Li Minzhu kneeling here, attracting a lot of attention.

just now……

Did Li Minzhu really get accepted by Wang Xiao?
People around immediately shouted.

"Master Wang, please take me in too? I'm willing to kneel for a month!"

“Master Wang, I’m a genius too…”

"Master Wang, don't forget me... I've been kneeling for a week too!"

"Master Wang...I want to learn martial arts..."

One by one, those who wanted to become Wang Xiao's apprentices shouted at him.

However, Wang Xiao ignored them and got into the car first. Yang Xiaoyu and Dong Yuexi followed suit. The car then drove away from there and headed to the airport.

Those outside were all very frustrated. When they turned around, they saw that Li Minzhu had already followed Han Ruoyun into the martial arts school.

Upon entering the martial arts school, Li Minzhu was unable to move. She had been kneeling for a month. If she hadn't cultivated the Xingyi Quan internal martial arts secret techniques to perfection, her legs would have been ruined long ago.

Now, she also found it difficult to move her knees. Lying on the ground, she said with difficulty to Han Ruoyun, "Senior sister, I need to rest for a bit!" Han Ruoyun was very pleased to be called "senior sister" and said happily, "Then you rest for a bit, I'll go make you something to eat."

Lee Min-joo laughed happily, then relaxed, releasing all the fatigue and suppressed emotions that had accumulated over the past month, and gradually closed her eyes and fell asleep.

……

Wang Xiao was traveling on a special plane arranged by the government!
Fly directly to the Western European coast.

This marathon is held by the sea and is the highest-level world-class men's marathon in Europe, held annually. It is an event that no professional marathon runner would miss, as it allows them to accumulate valuable experience. If they can win, it will directly improve their world ranking.

This year is no exception; all the top-ranked matches in the world are taking place here!
As soon as Wang Xiao stepped out of the airport, he saw several familiar faces of athletes he had met in the Huaxia and Yingdu competitions, all of whom were top-ten marathon runners in the world.

However, Wang Xiao paid no attention to these people. Instead, he circulated his breathing and sensed whether there were any powerful experts around him.

However, the world's top marathon runners all looked at Wang Xiao warily, their eyes filled with despair and helplessness.

Before they arrived, they still harbored a sliver of hope, thinking that Wang Xiao might not come, and that many other martial arts masters might not come either...

This world-class marathon might be a familiar, ordinary race that they've participated in many times before, and they might achieve a good ranking, or even have a chance to win.

but……

When they saw Wang Xiao appear at the airport, they knew they had no chance.

Not only are they out of the running for champions, they don't even have a chance to be in the top ten.

because.

If Wang Xiao appears, then many other martial arts masters will surely appear as well.

They had witnessed Wang Xiao's running competitions with other top martial arts masters more than once, competitions that were definitely not something they were qualified to participate in; they couldn't even catch a glimpse of Wang Xiao and the others' backs.

"Shet!"

One of the top ten marathon runners cursed under his breath and then complained, "I'm thinking of dropping out!"

However, another person said, "Withdrawing from the race is useless! Unless you retire immediately and never participate in any competition again, you can't escape them. It has to be said that our era is over. Now I just want to enjoy running, and as for competing for medals, that's impossible now."

"We are the witnesses to the disappearance of the old era and the arrival of the new era!"

The surrounding athletes listened in helpless silence.

They couldn't refute it.

Because they already know a lot of information.

In marathons around the world, as well as some smaller track and field events, many young martial artists have taken the top spots.

A large number of martial arts masters began to appear in various sports.

In the future, there will truly be no room for ordinary athletes to thrive in sports.

They can't escape it.

Even if you withdraw from the competition now and don't participate in this one, the situation will be similar for other competitions.

However, in other competitions, he might not encounter a super boss like Wang Xiao, so the loss wouldn't be as embarrassing.

However, there is no difference in essence!
Several of the world's top marathon runners, with mixed feelings, got into a car and headed to a hotel near the race venue.

Wang Xiao walked out of the airport and looked at a group of people walking out not far away. Among them were Zhao Han and Zhao Jun. A tall young man in the middle also looked over. It was Zhao Wei!

Zhao Wei waved to Wang Xiao, then turned and got into his car and left.

Wang Xiao also got into the car and left.

Once in the car.

Wang Xiao said calmly, "The Zhao family's experts have arrived."

Yang Xiaoyu and Dong Yuexi also saw Zhao Han and Zhao Jun, and knew that the one among them must be an even more powerful expert.

Dong Yuexi, who knew more about the outside world, said in a low voice, "The Zhao family has been developing in Southeast Asia for hundreds of years. They are deeply rooted and have unfathomable strength. Even the Hongmen have to go around the Zhao family, and the CIA doesn't dare to do anything to them."

Wang Xiao's eyes flickered, and he smiled faintly. He became curious about the Zhao family and thought that he might visit them someday to see what it was like to be in a dangerous place.

The car arrived at the hotel.

Zhang Jun had booked the entire top floor of the hotel in advance.

With no budget limit, everything is geared towards ensuring Wang Xiao's safety, so occupying the highest position can prevent any sneak attacks.

Zhao Han, Zhao Jun, Zhao Wei, and the others arrived at a manor near the competition venue, which was a stronghold of the Zhao family in Europe.

As they entered the manor, Zhao Wei said softly, "This time, no one can stop Wang Xiao from winning the championship! He's even more terrifying than I expected. He's grown so much in the past month."

Zhao Han nodded and said, "That's right. His aura is more than twice as strong as it was a month ago, and his strength has increased many times over. It's incredible that he can improve so much at his level! I wonder how well he has condensed his internal energy. Just in terms of internal cultivation and physical fitness, I think there is probably no one in the world who can compare to him."

"He's become inhumanly strong!"

Zhao Wei said with great anticipation, "I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing that such a person has appeared in China! Every time such a super genius appears, it will promote the development of martial arts! But the current development of martial arts is already extremely perfect and powerful. If it develops and breaks through again, it will really become an immortal!"

The development of Chinese martial arts reached its peak during the Tang and Song dynasties.

Because Buddhism and Taoism reached their peak during the Tang and Song dynasties, and many extraordinary masters emerged within them, creating and developing numerous profound martial arts techniques.

As members of the imperial family of the Song Dynasty, the Zhao family naturally collected a large number of Buddhist, Taoist, and martial arts techniques from the Tang and Song periods.

They knew that a super genius like Wang Xiao could drive the development of martial arts.

The current level of martial arts training has already reached the limit, which can strengthen the human body to an incredible degree. If it continues to develop further, it will truly become inhuman!

Zhao Wei and Zhao Han were both looking forward to seeing if Wang Xiao could take Chinese martial arts to the next level.

"We can lend him a hand if necessary!"

Zhao Wei said in a low voice.

He never considered Wang Xiao an enemy.

Seeing that Wang Xiao has the opportunity to elevate martial arts to a new level, Zhao Wei wants to invest in him, hoping to reap rich rewards from him in the future.

Zhao Han whispered, "I've heard that Allen has also brought a team to the competition. This time, they're going to stop Wang Xiao from winning the championship at all costs!"

"They might even try to kill Wang Xiao! They didn't make a move in South Korea last time, but they definitely won't give up now." (End of Chapter)
