Playing with fantasy beasts in the martial arts world

Chapter 32 One Monk, One Taoist, One King

"Break fate! Break fate!"

"What is meant by breaking one's fate?" Cha Nan asked.

Yang Guo shook his head: "I also asked, but the person who told me about this realm didn't say. He only said that if the time comes, I will know. If the time doesn't come, knowing will be useless and will only cause more trouble."

With that, Yang Guo waved his hand, signaling the giant eagle to leave.

"Great hero! Will we meet again?" Cha Nan's words were full of challenge.

Today, through Yang Guo, he learned about the higher views of this world, and his desire to advance in martial arts was truly ignited.

Yang Guo is the strongest person he knows right now, and he hopes that one day he can defeat him with his own abilities.

"perhaps···!"

“I can even get those kinds of alien beast eggs!” Cha Nan said.

The giant eagle screeched and nudged Yang Guo's shoulder with its wings. Yang Guo sighed, "I have to keep my appointment now, to wait for someone I haven't seen for many years. If I see her... I will go to Xiangyang with her."

Cha Nan knew that Yang Guo was referring to Xiaolongnü. He originally wanted to give Yang Guo some pointers. Xiaolongnü was in a cave at the bottom of the pool below the Broken Heart Cliff in the Valley of Heartbreak, leading to another place. But the world had already changed drastically. What if Xiaolongnü left this world through the gate of the boundary?

Wouldn't that disappoint Yang Guo twice?

Sixteen years have already passed. If Yang Guo hadn't waited for Xiaolongnu at the edge of Broken Heart Cliff, he would probably have jumped off the cliff anyway.

“The person you wish to see, sir, must be extremely important to you. However, the world is ever-changing, and all sorts of adventures and miracles are endless. If you do not see the person you wish to see, do not be discouraged. You will always find a way to see your old friend again!” Cha Nan said, carefully choosing his words.

A captivating smile appeared on Yang Guo's face beneath the mask, but no one saw it.

"Alright! I will keep your words in mind, young brother." After saying that, Yang Guo and the giant eagle flew up to the treetops and disappeared in no time, riding the wind and snow.

After Yang Guo left, Guo Fu, who was wearing a fiery red fox fur coat and had a pretty face as beautiful as a peach blossom, walked into the forest and watched Cha Nan learn movement techniques by following the footprints left by Yang Guo.

She had been awake for a long time, of course, but she just didn't want to face Yang Guo.

“You like martial arts. When we get to Xiangyang, I will introduce you to my father and ask him to take you as his disciple and teach you unparalleled martial arts,” Guo Fu said confidently.

She was Guo Jing and Huang Rong's first child, and they doted on her exclusively for sixteen years, so she spoke with great certainty and confidence.

It's hard to say whether the Beggars' Sect's secret techniques can be passed on, but she can always get some of the Nine Yin Manual and Peach Blossom Island's secret techniques if she asks for them.

"Alright!" Cha Nan turned around and smiled, then continued to move forward, following the footsteps, while constantly adjusting her breathing and mobilizing her internal energy to coordinate with her footwork.

This footwork is strange, and some parts even go against common sense, so it's not easy to get used to it.

Fortunately, this set of footwork and lightness skills, although it does not have the effect of condensing internal energy like Lingbo Weibu, nor does it have the effect of Shenxing Baibian, which has almost no need for internal energy, can improve the speed of energy recovery and increase the endurance.

As long as the training method is correct, even with Cha Nan's current internal energy accumulation, he can practice more than a dozen times in one go.

After these dozen or so training sessions, Cha Nan felt sore and weak all over, but she could also feel a burning pain in her meridians, as if they had been stretched to their limits. At the same time, the nutrients from the Palu Egg that had accumulated in her body were also stimulated and penetrated into every corner of her body, and her physical fitness was obviously improving.

This set of footwork and light-body skills also seems to have some effect on strengthening tendons and bones, making it a rather good auxiliary exercise.

Through this practice, the footwork gradually became familiar, and the formulas were remembered more and more deeply and clearly.

After exhausting her cultivation, Cha Nan summoned a wolf and sat on its back with Guo Fu, directing the wolf to destroy the icy footprints left by Yang Guo.

Lightness skills, especially those involving movement, are most vulnerable to having their operating methods revealed. Once exposed, their power is greatly reduced. Therefore, Cha Nan's caution is necessary. Even if the heavy snow will quickly erase the traces, he wants to be as thorough as possible. Still four people on two horses, the group prepared to bypass Fenglingdu and take a longer route back to Xiangyang.

After all, the Guo siblings had already revealed their whereabouts at Fenglingdu. If they went back, they might really encounter assassins or cavalry sent by the Mongols.

Along the way, although Cha Nan rested in Guo Fu's arms, she didn't stop talking, asking the three Guo siblings about news from Xiangyang City and the martial arts world.

"With the Mongol army attacking, have any experts been sent to prepare the way?" Cha Nan asked Guo Fu.

Originally, the top experts on the Mongolian side were led by the Golden Wheel Monk, and under him were first-class experts such as Xiao Xiangzi, Nimo Xing, Yin Kexi, and Ma Guangzuo. However, after ten years of the opening of the gate, it is hard to say what the Mongolian side's strength is now.

If Cha Nan doesn't want his time in the martial arts world to go to waste and be forced to rewind, then before officially joining the side defending Xiangyang, he should learn more about the enemy forces and do some homework in advance, combining what he already knows with the information he has.

"Some came, but they were all stopped by Father and some experts who came to help," Guo Fu replied, knowing that nonsense literature was popular.

Guo Xiang was much smarter and knew what Cha Nan wanted to hear. She gave a vivid explanation: "The Mongol Tartars were powerful. I heard from people from other worlds that in the end, the Tartars still took over the country. Although the men of Han were more willing to risk their lives and the court sent more support, there were still many scoundrels who defected to the Mongol Tartars."

"Among the Mongol army today, a monk, a Taoist priest, and a king are the worst of the scoundrels in the martial arts world."

"The monk is the Mongolian National Preceptor and the Golden Wheel Dharma King of the Vajrayana sect of Esoteric Buddhism. I heard that his martial arts skills have reached their peak and are no less than my father's."

Guo Fu retorted with dissatisfaction, "How can a mere Golden Wheel Monk compare to Father? Even Yang... the Condor Hero could easily defeat him!"

Cha Nan automatically filtered out these words.

Although the current Yang Guo is definitely stronger than the original Yang Guo at the same stage, and much stronger.

However, the gate to the realm is not open only to Yang Guo. If the Golden Wheel Monk were to use the gate to help him cultivate the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill to a higher level, his strength would likely be extraordinary.

"Go on!" Cha Nan said to Guo Xiang, then gestured to Guo Fu not to interrupt, something he would only do.

"The Daoist is Baisun Daoren. It is said that he came from Jiemen. His palm strikes are insidious and ruthless. He originally wanted to go to Shaolin to kill a young monk, but he was injured by Master Jueyuan of Shaolin. The Shaolin monks chased after him all the way, but he escaped into the Mongol army and joined the Mongol army. He is the most wicked and is much more vicious than the other two."

“Many of our Beggars’ Sect elders were killed by this evil Taoist priest. Uncle Lu often reminded me to be careful of this Taoist priest.”

Upon hearing this, Cha Nan recalled who Bai Sun Dao Ren was. After thinking for a while, he barely confirmed that this person should be the master of the Xuanming Elders, the one who created the 'Xuanming Divine Palm'. However, he never actually appeared in the story of Yitian, but only appeared as one of Zhang Sanfeng's many achievements.

"The Xuanming Divine Palm is still very troublesome. It is one of the most vicious martial arts among the Yin-type martial arts."

"Next time I return to the world of fantasy beasts, I need to find a fantasy beast that is specifically suited to me, such as one that combines fire-type special attack, is durable, and has a strong attack power."

At this moment, Cha Nan already had a target in mind: the Flame Demon Sheep and the Blazing Bull were both perfect fits.

However, the world of fantasy beasts is different from the game. In the game map, fire and ice type fantasy beasts can spawn in forests on a large scale, but in the real world of fantasy beasts, most fantasy beasts will still follow their own survival habits and live in groups.

The mythical beasts that Cha Nan encountered in the forest before were mostly those with no attribute or those with only the earth and grass attributes.

To find fire-attribute mythical beasts, you need to go to even hotter places.

While pondering this, Cha Nan asked Guo Xiang, "Who is the last king?"

"King of Pleasure!"

“I only know this name. He is the most mysterious. He rarely takes action and only protects the Great Khan of the Mongols,” Guo Xiang said.
