Devouring Evil Martial Arts, Eliminating Demons from All Heavens

Chapter 5: Netherworld Token, Evil Spirit Material

The last second, I was sitting on the not too expensive but very comfortable sofa in my own home.

The next second, he suddenly fell down in an unfamiliar wilderness.

When Chu Tianshu looked up, he saw the lush trees around him and the white sky.

This should be the weather near morning.

When he was at home just now, it was clearly just getting dark outside.

He finally experienced the time difference between day and night, which he had only heard of in movies and TV shows.

"Where the hell are you talking to me? Is this still China?"

Chu Tianshu concentrated his mind and felt carefully, but there was no obvious evil aura around him.

Is this the great opportunity that comes with the pendant token?
Could it be that as the online article said, it has a small blessed space, and he has now entered the internal space of the pendant?

Just as he was thinking about the token, a screen suddenly opened in front of him.

A translucent screen, one foot square, was suspended in the air, with the unknown animal face pattern on the token as the background of the screen.

There were many words on the screen, moving and reorganizing. At first, they were fonts that Chu Tianshu didn't recognize, but they soon turned into Chinese characters that he was familiar with.

[Profound and mysterious, touring all the worlds]

There are only these eight big characters at the top of the screen, and the characters below are all in smaller fonts.

"The Netherworld Order has been revived, and the new generation of Order Master has been confirmed."

"This command has the following magical powers: to turn evil into good, to devour evil and transform it into martial arts, to absorb all things, and to transform them into skills!"

Chu Tianshu read the whole article and found that a lot of the text was half-literate.

To put it simply, he became the new owner of the token. When the owner killed the evil spirit, the token would automatically collect the characteristics of the evil spirit as materials.

After a certain number is met, based on the master's existing martial arts skills and the characteristics of the evil spirit, targeted deduction and optimization can be made to create new martial arts that are more suitable for the master.

In the lower half of the screen, there are two progress bars.

One says material, the other says fate.

The material column shows that there is a certain amount of stock, which is enough to satisfy one deduction.

The column for destiny is empty.

"All worlds?"

Chu Tianshu was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but look at the surrounding environment again.

The meaning between the lines is quite clear. He did not go abroad, but more likely ran away to another world.

The key to traveling through time should be the empty column of destiny.

Perhaps because of his grandfather's words and deeds, Chu Tianshu is a bit of a homebody.

In other words, he prefers to move around in places he is familiar with or at least among some acquaintances. This familiar range can be expanded bit by bit, but it is best not to jump too big or too far at once.

In his twenties, he had never even left the province, and now he was suddenly in a different world, where the unfamiliarity was off the charts.

Therefore, the first reaction in his mind was, what a trouble!
However, the power displayed by this token was even more than expected, and a feeling of surprise and joy filled his chest.

The anticipation and anxiety that followed were extremely complicated.

"Traveling through the world, deducing martial arts techniques, even these functions, if what they say is true, it will definitely be able to solve the root cause of my twenty-year nightmare, right?!"

Chu Tianshu stared at the progress bar showing the material, reached out to touch it, but his hand passed through the screen.

This screen is not physical. Once it is called out, it will follow his field of vision and only he can see it.

To touch the screen, no physical movement is required, just a little concentration.

Chu Tianshu took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and focused his attention. The material column on the screen lit up slightly, and the film introduction began.

[The materials for the exercise are as follows.]

"The Old Master of the Qi Family": Leaping and moving, his long arms are like iron whips, he flicks his sleeves and uses swordsmanship, his footwork is wonderful and crazy.

Note: People who are brave and courageous from a young age can learn this technique. It will activate the shoulders and back, nourish the muscles and bones, and when mastered, one can have arms that are three inches longer and possess the strength of a thousand pounds.

[The evil spirit materials are as follows.]

Beauty in the Skin: Dreaming of being the center of attention, undergoing 30 plastic surgeries, and dying without achieving fame. Characteristics: He pounces on the face, causing painless facial removal, and then proceeds to perform scalpel cutting without realizing the blood loss.

The Pen Fairy in the Bed: Jealous of his roommate, he poisoned himself, but accidentally drank it, and died with his eyes open. Trapped in his room, he peeped into people's private lives and bewitched his younger generation. His special trait is that if he whispers in someone's ear for seven nights, it can chill the blood in their body without blowing.

Black Mouth Scholar: Licking ink for ten thousand days, repeatedly failing exams, like a tamed dog, endures humiliation and dies, his stomach full of sour smell, an accomplice of the tiger. Characteristics: Sour ink in the stomach eats away at flesh and rots bones.

Note: Evil spirits have different characteristics. Please choose one and refine the evil spirits first before deducing.

"There's only one skill material, and no 'Ghost Gate Witch Doctor's Notes'?"

Chu Tianshu thought, when it comes to deducing martial arts, they really only list martial arts as materials.

There are also many prescriptions for physical fitness and health preservation in the annotations of the Ghost Gate Witch Doctor. How can it not be considered as a kind of martial arts knowledge?

Unfortunately, he didn't know how this token determined whether a certain skill was a "martial art", and of course he couldn't modify the judgment criteria.

As for the evil spirit materials, he had impressions of all three evil spirits, which were the exorcism cases he had taken over in the past two years.

Two years ago, he had also taken over other cases, not to mention the evil spirits eliminated by his grandfather and even those predecessors. It seemed that during those times, the token had not awakened enough and had not collected anything.

The two characteristics of beauty and pen fairy are both relatively useless.

When Chu Tianshu was exorcising the evil spirits, he evaluated these two and found them to be quite weak.

Especially the pen fairy.

Although people living in that dormitory have played the Ouija game and can easily hear her muttering, all dormitory members like to stay up late.

I could fall asleep every night, but the time I spent listening to her chattering was not long.

In addition, the school will be on vacation, so the Ouija board will not have the opportunity to recite for seven full nights.

There was only one unlucky guy who had a regular schedule for a while, but after being scolded for five consecutive days, he became ill.

After Chu Tianshu completed the exorcism, the patient only took medicine for a week and was completely cured.

The three evil spirits, picking a general from among the dwarfs, revealed the ghost scholar.

However, there is sour ink in the stomach and mouth. How can this characteristic be combined with Tongbeiquan?
Chu Tianshu was a little confused and thought about it for a while.

The evil spirit material must meet a certain minimum quantity before a deduction can be carried out, but if there is more, it does not matter, the deductive effect will be better.

Should I deduce it now, or postpone it and try my luck to see if I can encounter a more useful evil spirit that I can deal with, and then come back...

Chu Tianshu made a decision within three seconds.

Let’s deduce now!
If he were in his hometown, he might choose to postpone it, but in this strange world, hesitating for three seconds was already a well-considered decision.

Chu Tianshu first touched the "Evil Spirit Mixing" displayed on the token.

The three evil spirit materials were merged, and the total amount did not change much, with only the characteristic of the black-mouthed scholar remaining.

Then, I combined it with "Qi Jia Lao Tong Bei" and began to deduce specific exercises.

[Deduction completed.]

"Gluttonous Tongbei Fist": Macaques devour fruit, gorillas devour flesh, hands and feet unleash to tear jackals apart, long arms and palms shatter oxen's heads. Practicing this boxing technique opens the mind, develops the stomach, strengthens the muscles, and allows one to swallow meat and bones. Strength increases day by day, and at the highest level, one's limbs become as hard as wood and stone, their claws sharp and strong enough to pierce an ox's belly.

Especially those with weak constitutions can also practice this. If they can practice a hundred times a day and endure the pain and itchiness of the flesh growing like steam, they can make great progress.

After reading the words on the screen, Chu Tianshu seemed to have something extra in his mind.

When he thought about it for a moment, he saw long passages of boxing manuals and pictures of human figures, which were exactly the boxing techniques he had just deduced.

Every detail is so vivid in my mind, as if I had read it thousands of times and knew it by heart.

Chu Tianshu felt a strong urge in his heart, and he took up his stance right on the grass, and began to practice according to the boxing techniques in his mind.

Psychics and martial artists seem to show similar symptoms when they first awaken. Their senses become sharper and their dynamic vision greatly improves.

But in fact, when I first got it, I had already determined the difference in direction between the two sides.

When a psychic's mind is opened, their energy radiates outward. Their observation is more like a spiritual sixth sense that becomes extremely sharp. Once they come to a conclusion, the other five senses break down this conclusion and make it understandable to ordinary people in a form that is more easily accepted by them.

The awakening of martial artists truly focuses on the potential of their body organs, and their energy is developed inwards. This is because organs such as the eyes, ears, and nose are strengthened, and their observation of the outside world becomes clearer and more detailed. The final combined result is so beautiful that it far exceeds the norm.

A person's first awakening is his first impression of the extraordinary realm. The direction in which the awakening is inclined at that time will determine the direction in which his instinct will be reinforced. No matter how much he wants to change, it is difficult to overcome his instinct.

Someone once compared it to asking a person born blind to understand a person born deaf.

The actual difficulty may not be that outrageous.

But Chu Tianshu, a psychic who had become enlightened at the age of five, had never been able to experience the feeling of a boxer becoming enlightened during those days of hard boxing training.

Now this set of "Gluttony Tongbei Fist" is said to be tailor-made for the master, and it is emphasized that people with weak constitutions can also practice it, which makes him really want to try it.

"call!"

Chu Tianshu adjusted his posture, standing on his left foot and drawing a semicircle to the side with his right foot. The sole of his shoe was very close to the ground. After a large area of ​​weeds was pressed down, the roots were bent and some of them fell over.

His movements were very slow, but the moment his right foot finally landed, his whole body sped up.

First, he opened and closed his arms vigorously, and chopped forward with both arms. Then his body suddenly followed and rushed forward. Both palms that chopped down reached his waist. The right hand arrived first, and by the time the left hand arrived, his right arm had completed the turn and accumulated power, just in time to punch forward.

This punch is not a direct punch, but a swinging force. The arm is like a thick towel that has been wet with water, and the fist is the tip of the towel. Twist the arm and swing it forward, and the tip hits the air.

Even though it was the physical strength of an ordinary person, this punch could still make a slight sound when the sleeves moved.

In the blink of an eye, he lowered his hips and stepped back, then turned over and swung his left arm to grab backwards.

He rushed forward and backed off, each time taking a big step forward, he would retreat a little. After he had taken twenty or thirty steps, he had inadvertently formed a large semicircle with his feet.

His hands repeatedly chopped, swung, and grabbed, and the frequency of these three movements was much higher than that of his feet.

Because every time he took action and every leap with his feet, he used all his strength, sweat soon appeared on Chu Tianshu's forehead, but his eyes were shining.

The more he practiced this set of boxing, the more he found that there were not only the words and pictures of the boxing manual in his mind, but also a kind of "right feeling".

I have a general idea in my mind of what kind of movements are truly standard and how to exert force to truly meet the detailed requirements in the boxing manual.

Words are often pale. Even the most skilled martial arts master would find it difficult to share with his apprentice the moment when he personally experienced the moment when he mastered the martial arts.

Moreover, the disciples may not have the same understanding of the same words.

The boxing knowledge deduced from the token was directly transmitted into Chu Tianshu's mind, just like having a famous teacher who was the most eloquent.

In this way, if there is any problem with the force of the movement, he can feel it immediately and try to correct it.

The swinging of fists and feet may seem repetitive, but in fact there are adjustments every time.

The experience of knowing you’re getting close to “right” is incredibly fulfilling.

As the fight went on, he even forgot about the pursuit of enlightenment and only thought about how to deliver the next punch in the most standard way.

Chop, swing, grab! Chop, swing, grab!
The more beads of sweat appear, the purer the eyes become.

When Chu Tianshu chopped his palm again, his palm suddenly made a light explosion in the air.

Is it the sound produced by the palm hitting the air flow, or the sleeve, or some other factor?

None of this moment matters.

A needle-like light naturally lit up in the depths of Chu Tianshu's pupils.

The grass behind him that he had stepped on was slowly standing up, some of it stubbornly.

The branches on both sides swayed slightly in the early morning breeze, and the dew on the branches was shaken off.

In the air ahead, yellowish leaves were swirling and falling.

This ability of observation is very similar to that of a psychic.

But when he had opened his eyes from the perspective of a psychic in the past, he had never felt so clearly the existence of his own flesh and bones. It turned out that every muscle and every layer of skin were wrapped in such fresh heat.

Chu Tianshu exhaled hot air and stared at the tip of his palm, wanting to remember this first time he entered the state of enlightenment as a martial artist.

"Ha, hahahahaha, good stuff, you can really practice it!!"

He couldn't help laughing out loud, but then forced himself to shut up and couldn't wait to practice again.

The initial enlightenment was basically a flash of inspiration. He entered the state when he just struck that palm, but he would soon come out of it.

We must strike while the iron is hot. If we can get into the state two or three more times in the next stage, even if they are fleeting, it will be good.

Once you are able to gain stable and lasting enlightenment in the martial arts field, your total vitality will increase.

By then, the impact of nightmares on the heart and brain can be resisted. In the past two years, the sharp blade that has been getting closer and closer to Chu Tianshu's head can finally be pushed away.

He didn't laugh out loud anymore, but the muscles in his cheeks were tense, the corners of his mouth were raised, and that bright expression of joy never faded.

You can look excited, but your boxing techniques must be coordinated with your breathing. Laughing and making random sounds will disrupt this rhythm, so you must restrain yourself.

Practice boxing! Practice boxing! Practice boxing!

He didn't know how long he had been fighting.

When he came to his senses, the sun had already risen. The strong feeling of hunger in his stomach woke him up and he stopped practicing.

The surrounding grass had been trampled into a mess, and branches had been broken by arms.

In the light of the morning sun, birds flew out of their nests, hopped lightly on the branches, and chirped.

Chu Tianshu wiped the sweat from his face and gasped for breath. He felt refreshed all over, but his stomach was a little sour from hunger.

He looked at the bird on the branch and took out a silver needle from his trouser pocket.

At this distance, he was confident enough to shoot down the bird and use it as food reserve.

But after thinking about it, he didn't take action for the time being.

If you can find a human settlement, you won't have to worry about making a fire in the mountains and roasting the tits.

After figuring out the height of the terrain, Chu Tianshu walked to a higher place for a while and looked around.

After a long time, he walked to a big rock in an area with sparse trees and stopped.

The sun was rising outside the mountain. In one direction below the mountain, there were large fields with densely packed houses extending out.

Looking down from here, the neatly arranged streets and houses are small but shabby, and the crowds are like ants. It is obviously a very lively town.
