Martial Arts Crossover: Breaking the Rules Makes You Stronger, Female Benefactor, Please Wait

He eventually married the Western Xia princess, becoming her consort and winning her heart.

This luck is simply amazing. While everyone else is working hard and practicing diligently, you've had it all so smooth sailing.

To have become a monk to this extent is a complete accomplishment.

It's incredible to meet you here now.

Judging from his current appearance, he seems not to have received Wuyazi's inheritance yet, and should be on his way to Wuliang Mountain.

Perhaps next, it will be his turn to solve the Precious Chess Game and inherit the mantle of the Free and Unfettered Sect.

"May I ask your Dharma name, senior brother, and which Buddhist holy site you studied under?"

"This humble monk comes from Shaolin Temple, and his Dharma name is Fahai."

"So it was a high-ranking monk from Shaolin!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Zhu was immediately filled with respect.

There are many temples in this world.

The Shaolin Temple is not the only Buddhist temple in China.

For example, Mount Shaoshi, where Xuzhu lived, was also dotted with temples and monasteries, as well as many Buddhist temples.

Buddhist temples are even found in grasslands and snowy regions.

Shaolin Temple holds an extraordinary position, being the most revered among thousands of temples.

It is naturally of a much higher standard than Shaoshi Mountain.

This is also why Xu Zhu felt respect upon hearing the words "Shaolin Temple".

That senior brother from Shaolin must be a highly respected monk!

Just then, the waiter brought the dishes over.

The table was laden with dishes, a truly abundant feast.

"Master, your dishes are ready. Please enjoy."

The table was laden with meat and wine, the aroma filling the air, and the presentation was excellent.

Fahai, without any restraint, called out to Xuzhu, "Come, let's eat and drink something together."

Xu Zhu was stunned for a moment when he saw the table full of wine and meat.

"Senior brother, this...this..."

"How can we monks drink alcohol and eat meat?"

He quickly closed his eyes, turned the prayer beads in his hand, and chanted Buddhist mantras in a low voice.

"Amitabha……"

It's as if just one glance would bring about heavy karmic consequences.

Fahai, however, snorted coldly, unconcerned.

"Wine and meat pass through the intestines, but Buddha remains in the heart."

"As long as you have Buddha in your heart, what's wrong with eating and drinking a little? Buddha won't blame you."

Fahai spoke casually, but Xuzhu was taken aback and then fell into deep thought.

A short while later, with a complicated expression, he muttered to himself, "Something doesn't sound quite right about that."

But he couldn't refute anything, nor did he know how to respond.

After all, he had never tasted meat or wine, and could not judge whether he could truly "pass through the intestines" and thus bring peace to the Buddha's heart.

But no matter what, he would not be convinced by Fahai's argument.

So Xu Zhu turned to the waiter and said softly, "Please give me a bowl of vegetarian rice."

The waiter nodded in agreement, feeling a bit intrigued.

That's what a real monk should be like: eating vegetarian food, chanting Buddhist scriptures, and maintaining purity and self-discipline.

Aren't all monks like that?

As for that generous young master...

Although he was handsome, he didn't look like a proper monk.

It's one thing to drink alcohol and eat meat, but to spout a theory that sounds reasonable but is actually absurd.

How could there be such a monk in the world?

However, the waiter didn't say much and soon brought over a bowl of vegetarian rice.

"Please enjoy your meal, young chef."

After thanking him, Xu Zhu picked up the bowl and began to eat.

Upon seeing this, Fahai merely shook his head slightly.

Tsk, this little monk insists on not eating meat or drinking alcohol.

Whether he can keep the precepts in the future remains to be seen.

In Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, he did not break his vows despite being pressured by the Heavenly Child Granny.

Ultimately, however, he became entangled with the princess of Western Xia.

Back then, we weren't so steadfast.

But it's also normal to think about it the other way around.

Xu Zhu was fundamentally different from him.

Xu Zhu grew up on Shaoshi Mountain from a young age, and was devoted to Buddhism, only wanting to become a true monk.

He was raised under strict discipline and regarded the rules as his life.

Even in the original novel, he couldn't get over it for a long time after breaking his vow of celibacy.

Although Fahai still had the same body, the person inside was no longer the same.

In his previous life, Fahai was just an ordinary mortal who enjoyed drinking and eating meat, loved wearing beautiful clothes, and had some interest in beautiful women. He was no different from millions of ordinary people.

Therefore, what was commonplace in Fahai's eyes became a huge transgression in Xuzhu's eyes.

At this time, Xu Zhu had not yet experienced the turning point in his fate. He had not yet unexpectedly become the leader of the Xiaoyao Sect, nor was he the master of the Lingjiu Palace.

Everything that will happen in the future may seem accidental, but it is actually the result of the times.

Now, all he wants is to live a quiet life as a monk on Shaoshi Mountain.

As for martial arts, he has only been practicing for three years, his aptitude is mediocre, and his progress is slow.

If an adult starts learning martial arts without a fortuitous encounter, they will likely find it difficult to achieve great success in their lifetime.

In the original novel, Xu Zhu always encounters benefactors and enjoys good fortune wherever he goes, almost like he has a cheat code.

Alongside Duan Yu, he is considered one of the two "overpowered masters" in Tian Long Ba Bu.

Unfortunately, in this life, a Fahai appeared.

I'm sorry, little monk.

I accept your opportunity.

Fahai feasted to his heart's content, enjoying the fine wine and delicacies without end.

It was so delicious, it was incredibly juicy and flavorful!

So cool!

Fahai was so moved he almost cried!

Three whole years!

Who could have imagined how we survived those three years!

I ate vegetarian food for three whole years!

For three whole years he didn't touch a drop of alcohol or meat; anyone would be craving it!

I never realized how delicious the meat was before, but now that I've tasted it, I know it's truly amazing!

Just as he was enjoying his meal, a system notification suddenly sounded in his mind.

[Congratulations, host, for breaking your vow to drink alcohol. This is your first time breaking the vow, and the reward is generous.]

[The reward package has been sent. Please check your account.]

Fahai was delighted.

This system is so considerate!

I've never seen anyone win a prize for breaking a rule before!

This thoughtful system is unique!

Where can you find something this amazing?

Come on, come on, open them all and take a look!

[Congratulations on obtaining top-tier cultivation talents: Clear Dao Heart, Photographic Memory, and Extraordinary Comprehension!]

Ok?

This talent sounds a lot like Wang Yuyan's.

Wang Yuyan possessed a photographic memory, which allowed her to memorize all the martial arts classics in the world. Although she did not practice martial arts, she knew all the moves of various schools.

He eventually became a recognized theorist in the martial arts world.

Such talent is nothing short of extraordinary.

Wang Yuyan was unable to cultivate due to her frail health, but Fahai was different.

With this ability, you'll thrive!
