Dual wielding volcanoes, killing through the west

Zhang Renfeng was initially surprised, but then, as if seeing an old friend, he couldn't help but chuckle.

"Isn't it beautiful?" Reed nodded in satisfaction. "Do you remember the sanctuary of Dover Valley?"

"The one we destroyed?" Zhang Renfeng asked.

“That’s right. Newman Rudinburgh was indeed a scoundrel, but his aesthetic sense was actually quite good. At first, our group was planning to go to Dover Hill for an exhibition, wasn’t we?” Reed recalled the past with mixed feelings, “Then, that kind of thing happened…”

"Anyway, I visited the ruins of that sanctuary and discovered this wonderful pattern. I even studied it a bit, and it seems to have originated from your country?"

He pointed to the three rabbits sharing the same ear and began to explain.

"past."

"Now."

"future."

"Actually, these three rabbits are originally the same animal, just representing three different states at different times. But they can also switch between each other, so these three rabbits can share an ear!"

"The next second after 'now' becomes 'past,' and the next moment after 'future' will replace 'now.' The past was the present, and the present is the future... This concept is... truly amazing!"

He talked on and on for a long time, but Zhang Renfeng did not respond. He just stood there blankly, staring at the pattern on the dome, lost in thought.

A name suddenly popped into my mind.

"Do you know the story of Oedipus Rex?" Zhang Renfeng suddenly asked.

“…Huh?” Reed was caught off guard by the question.

“I’m sorry, Reed, thank you for your hospitality.” Zhang Renfeng came back to his senses, pondered for a moment, and whispered, “I haven’t been doing well lately. A lot of things have happened, and I want to tell you, but I don’t know where to begin.”

"Could I be alone for a while?"

Chapter 848: I Fight for All

"..."

"..."

"..."

This time, no one disturbed him. There would be no more sudden shaking of the carriage or sudden turning of the pages of a book. Zhang Renfeng could stare at the picture for as long as he wanted.

The sounds outside the sanctuary were gradually "shielded" by him, turning into white noise like ocean waves.

He stared intently at the three rabbits, red, white, and green, which ran around in his field of vision once again!

Run, run, keep running!

They ran faster and faster, as if trying to break free from some kind of restraint. With a "boom," they crashed through the frame that bound them, causing the entire dome to spin rapidly. Three colors spread outward, swallowing up the original colors and textures of the dome. After being torn open, the starry sky was presented to Zhang Renfeng without reservation.

The starry sea poured down, and the powerful visual impact made him squint.

Driven by three rabbits, the circular dome gradually rose... In Zhang Renfeng's eyes, it transformed into a spinning top.

In his mind's eye, he saw the top spinning rapidly on an enormous hand.

With each rotation, the sun, moon, and stars rise and set around it, rising and setting again... numerous strange phenomena appeared one after another, dazzling him.

But what is on that palm?

Zhang Renfeng tried his best to peek, but only saw a faint glimpse of bright red.

……

"boom------!!!"

In the imagined world, the dome descended from the sky once more, covering the sanctuary with an incredibly loud sound.

But in reality, nothing happened. Zhang Renfeng simply stood there, looking up, silently "admiring" the totem of three rabbits sharing an ear for a while.

……

Such a catastrophic fantasy actually calmed Zhang Renfeng down.

But this calmness was not a desolate emptiness or coldness; on the contrary, his heart was filled with all sorts of intense emotions.

The romantic feelings for the young wolf; the concern for the other members of the Red Gang; the compassion for the working class; the indignation towards those who exploit capital to suck the blood of others... However, standing here, as if feeling something, as if understanding something, these complex emotions converge in the crucible of life, and after being forged several times, they vaguely show signs of taking shape.

A person will never be confused as long as they know what they are fighting for.

"What do I fight for?"

Zhang Renfeng asked himself, "I've suffered so much, endured so much pain, and fought my way to this point..."

"What exactly is driving me to do all this?"

Thinking about this question helped him calm his mind and body.

Because he gradually discovered that the answer seemed to lie on the surface of the riddle.

This time, the deceased Theonado did not guide his decision, nor were the stained-glass windows painted by him.

Instead, it's hundreds and thousands of hardworking, smiling workers striving to make a living!

"..."

After carefully examining the paintings on the stained-glass window, Zhang Renfeng's tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed at this moment.

----

A drop of water fell from a height and landed on his head.

……

Zhang Renfeng closed his eyes slightly, channeled his inner strength, drew a circle on the ground with the toe of his left foot, and slowly drew his body like a drawn bow.

One stretch, one relaxation.

"Ding----"

The moment the water droplets touched the back of his hand, they made a loud noise in Zhang Renfeng's ears.

But he was not anxious at all. At this moment, not only his body, but also his mind, entered a state of perfect relaxation and "emptiness".

Sadness, joy, happiness, anger... all these external things, like the snow lion facing the furnace fire, quietly dissipated. But the snow lion after melting did not disappear from this world; it transformed into a more essential and pure inner self, which is water.

Just as there are no fixed formations in warfare and no fixed shapes in water, Zhang Renfeng briefly entered this realm, breaking through the original constraints of the technique of "eliminating force".

When expressed to the outside world, this manifests as his "energy dissipation," which reaches its peak at this moment.

The water droplet rolled back and forth in his palm, but due to the extreme skill of dissipating force, it could not be broken.

It was clearly just a simple palm-pushing technique, yet Zhang Renfeng felt a seamless connection throughout his body, with internal energy flowing through his eight extraordinary meridians. He could have complete control over every movement of his body and every thought of his mind!

Those few seconds felt like they had been stretched out dozens of times in his senses.

……

After he had carried it for several weeks, the water droplet finally rolled slowly from his palm and shattered the moment it hit the floor.

To Zhang Renfeng, the sound was as loud as thunder.

----

"what……"

After a brief silence, he turned his hand over and over, looking at the back of his hand.

It became.

Just now, he had completed the process from "entering all forms" to "breaking all forms." He had integrated his burning, intense emotions into one, washed away the superficiality, and finally shed his true self, achieving the ultimate dissipation of energy. The water droplet that fell to the ground was proof of this.

From this point on, the ladder of "energy dissipation" has been climbed to its end.

He has already entered the initial stage of the [Minor Formless Skill]!

Emerging from his previous state of perfect tranquility, Zhang Renfeng smiled. He had not only succeeded in obtaining the cultivation technique he had longed for, but also the answer to the question he had just posed. In Zhang Renfeng's current view, the latter was even more important than the former.

……

"I understand……"

He murmured to himself, his gaze shifting from the stained-glass window, his resolve hardening. That trace of confusion, like summer snow, quickly vanished.

"I understand!"

Zhang Renfeng bit his lip, looked around, and said in a deep voice, "Everyone."

"I fight for everyone."

"I fight for a better world!"

----

The moment the vow was made, the entire sanctuary fell silent, and the three rabbits stopped running.

At this point, the past is the past, the present is the present, and the future is the future.

The clouds dispersed, the rain stopped, and the sky cleared. Everything became clear, and he knew what he needed to do and what he "had to" do. There was no longer any confusion or anxiety in his heart.

……

"Hiss..."

White steam rose from his body.

Zhang Renfeng looked down and saw that after comprehending the subtlety of the Lesser Formless Skill, his internal energy circulated on its own, precisely breaking through the junction of the meridians and blood vessels in his body along the key points.

He suddenly understood that there are many differences between people. The formulas she had memorized were based on her own physical condition, so how could they possibly be perfectly applicable to him?

Now, having mastered the Lesser Formless Skill, Zhang Renfeng can completely control this body. The obstacles he encountered before are naturally no longer a problem.

The internal energy circulated through the Shenfeng, Lingxu, Mingfu, and Qihai vertebrae, and the lower three vertebrae. The previously memorized incantations and mental techniques seemed to come alive, flashing and leaping before his eyes.

The wound left by the sword energy healed silently, leaving only a somewhat frightening scar.

Chapter 849: Less than one percent of the Lesser Formless Skill has been developed.

"Really? Senior brother? You...you just went out late at night, and you actually..."

This was the first time the wolf had shown such an expression; its emerald eyes widened as it looked at him like he was an alien.

She also falls into the talent-based category; many things don't need to be explained in too much detail. She can learn by herself and apply what she's learned to other situations.

For the vast majority of techniques, she didn't even need to use her body; she could simply rely on her powerful talent and meditate in her mind to perfectly replicate reality. When she first learned the Rama Internal Energy Technique, she didn't spend much time on it, only two or three days, to clearly perceive all the meridians, blood vessels, and organs in her body.

Then, just as he had envisioned, he pushed his inner energy downwards little by little, circulating it throughout his body. Quite naturally, he comprehended a legendary martial art. Furthermore, he combined its self-healing properties with an advanced version that dissipated energy, creating a supersonic strike with immense destructive power.

That's why she understood better than others just how significant the "self-enlightenment of the Lesser Formless Skill" was.

If the Lesser Formless Skill were really that easy to comprehend, she would have broken through it on her own long ago.

However, the truth is that even a genius like Wolf, whose talent was unparalleled in his time, still failed to reach the level of Lesser Formless Skill.

She could vaguely sense that the threshold was not far away, floating like a mirage. But whenever she tried to take a closer look, it turned into a floating illusion, leaving her unable to grasp it.

Furthermore, given the sonic boom damage from Wolf Eyes's sonic attack, there is virtually no one in America, whether in the East or West, who could withstand such a direct hit and emerge unscathed.

Her martial arts skills differed from Zhang Renfeng's; she was a burst damage dealer. This overwhelmingly superior damage output, in a sense, prevented her martial arts from making any significant progress, keeping her at roughly the same level as before.

Her fellow disciple, who was also her lover with whom she had just shared intimate moments, had somehow surpassed her in martial arts, giving the young woman a strange feeling. It was as if, after this misplaced connection, she came to understand Zhu Kuilong's state of mind.

……

"How did you do that? I want to learn the Lesser Formless Skill too!" Wolf sat up abruptly, his eyes gleaming. "If we both learn the Lesser Formless Skill, wouldn't our chances of winning be much greater when we go to seek revenge on Lu Aniu?"

Zhang Renfeng immediately felt that it made sense, and promptly told the wolf about his enlightenment process, including every detail of what he encountered in Heron Town, what he ate, drank, and where he went, etc., without any small detail.

But none of that matters.

The truly important moment, the moment of profound enlightenment, cannot be described in words. Zhang Renfeng could only try his best to recreate his state of mind at that time through language, but even he himself could not recreate it 100%.

You cannot step into the same river twice.

The more details Zhang Renfeng described, the more confused Lang became, and his brows furrowed. Finally, he had no choice but to use the Lesser Formless Skill, having Lang place his palms against his body to feel the flow of internal energy through his meridians.

In just one day and night, the situation had reversed. Wolf found it somewhat amusing, but when she actually pressed herself against him, she quickly cleared her mind of all distractions, focusing her consciousness on him. Using the skin as a medium, she gradually penetrated deeper, exploring the mysteries of this internal energy technique.

A genius is a genius. Even when Zhang Renfeng "deeply" entered the little wolf's body, he couldn't do the same "perceive internal energy" operation.

His current Rama Kung Fu was entirely developed through his sudden enlightenment of the Lesser Formless Kung Fu, during which his meridians opened up on their own in that moment of "stillness of mind."
