Chapter 189 Martial Path

Under the night sky, the night breeze blew and the soldiers gathered together. They could not help but whisper among themselves.

“What’s going on? Why are we suddenly gathering?” “I don’t know. Maybe General Wu has something to say?” “Look, the general is here!” Everyone shut their mouths. No one dared to challenge Wu Kunhu’s authority. They saw Wu Kunhu walking in front with his head held high and chest puffed out. Wu Lie followed behind with a look of hopelessness. On the other hand, Su Wen had a relaxed expression. Wasn’t it just a beating? He wouldn’t die anyway. This Young Master Su wasn’t afraid. Moreover, he might be able to gain something from fighting against a top-notch expert like Wu Zehu.

Yes, that’s right, self consolation is always the best….

Su Wen was very open-minded and kept comforting himself.

At this point, begging for mercy was useless. On the other side, Yan Luoying and Wu Muyu were hiding beside the tents.

Wu Muyu was a little nervous as she said, “No, I have to stop them. If my father makes a move, Brother Su will definitely not be his match.”

Yan Luoying grabbed her and said in a low voice, “Don’t go!” Looking at Wu Muyu’s doubtful gaze, Yan Luoying explained, “Firstly, if you try to stop him, I’m afraid the effect won’t be good. The more you try to stop him, the angrier your father will be. He will beat your Brother Su even more ruthlessly.” “Besides, your father is the strongest beneath the Heaven Rank. Fighting with my husband will be very beneficial for him. Do you really think this is an ordinary opportunity?” “My brother… had many opportunities…” Yan Luoying scoffed, “You already said it’s your brother! My husband is different. He rarely has the chance to challenge the strong. Either their combat power is much inferior to Husband’s, or they’re much stronger. Having your father as his sparring partner will only benefit Husband… Although he might get beaten up… if a martial artist, a man, doesn’t even dare to face pain, how can he become stronger?”

Hearing Yan Luoying’s words, Wu Muyu didn’t say anything else and only looked in Su Wen’s direction worriedly. At this moment, Wu Kunhu had already led the two of them to the front of the muster.. He laughed loudly and said, “Today, I gathered everyone here to broaden everyone’s horizons. The most boring time of the day is always after our dinner. Coincidentally, these two good-for-nothing nephews of mine have recently made rapid progress in their martial arts. This general is planning to give them some pointers. You guys can also watch the fun!” “Good!”

Everyone cheered when they heard him speak. There wasn’t much entertainment in the first place, so everyone was naturally extremely happy to be able to watch experts fight. Wu Kunhu turned to look at Su Wen and Wu Lie. He coldly said, “Wu Lie, you go first!” Wu Lie had a bitter expression on his face as he walked over. Wu Kunhu said coldly, “Don’t worry, I will suppress my cultivation base to the 6th Grade as well!” Upon hearing this, Su Wen’s eyes lit up. If that was the case, wouldn’t he have a chance as well? “Oh…”

To Su Wen’s surprise, Wu Lie did not seem happy at all. He was still his same listless self. Wu Kunhu shouted, “Make your move!”

Wu Lie’s expression slowly turned serious upon hearing his shout. Suddenly, he moved and charged towards Wu Kunhu! Bang! Su Wen’s eyes widened!

How was that possible? Wu Kunhu had indeed only used a cultivation base of around 6th Grade. Su Wen was very clear about this, but the effect was completely different.

Wu Kunhu broke through Wu Lie’s attack in an instant and landed a punch right on Wu Lie’s body.

The violent power caused Wu Lie’s body to bend slightly. This was followed by a frenzied series of blows, like that of a torrential downpour. Wu Lie could not retaliate at all. Amidst the intense battle, one could even hear the sound of bones cracking… and Wu Lie’s miserable cries. None of the spectators had expected Wu Kunhu to be so harsh on his son!

Wu Lie was being punched and kicked like a sandbag

Everyone swallowed the saliva in their mouths… It was not easy being the son of a general. In just a moment, Wu Lie lost! Meanwhile, Su Wen had already activated his Pupils of the Vermillion Bird.

He frowned as he watched the scene! Something was wrong! Something was wrong with Wu Kunhu.

Even though Wu Kunhu had suppressed his cultivation level and his speed was greatly reduced, Su Wen could tell that his movements were still faster than Wu Lie’s! His strength also seemed to be greater!

In Su Wen’s opinion, this shouldn’t be a battle prowess that could be unleashed at 6th Grade Earth Rank!

“What happened?” In Su Wen’s Pupils of the Vermillion Bird, he could see the circulation of Wu Kunhu’s True Qi, but there seemed to be nothing unusual about it.

The amount of True Qi he used was definitely not above that of 6th Grade.

Finally, Wu Lie spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground. “You may leave.” After beating Wu Lie up, Wu Kunhu looked at Su Wen and said, “It’s your turn now. Don’t worry, I will also only use 6th Grade Earth Rank strength against you.” “Hehe!” Su Wen laughed coldly to himself. This fellow’s battle power in the 6th Grade… was simply terrifying. However, there were some things that one wouldn’t know without experiencing it.

Su Wen stepped forward and stared intently at Wu Kunhu, activating his Pupils of the Vermillion Bird to the maximum. Wu Kunhu naturally noticed Su Wen’s eyes. However, he did not take it to heart! He merely said indifferently, “Make your move!”

Su Wen did not stand on ceremony. He stood up and stepped on the Divine Speed Star Position before pointing out with his finger! After watching Wu Lie and Wu Kunhu’s battle, Su Wen felt that he had to increase his speed. Sunburst Spirit Finger! “Good!”

Wu Kunhu shouted and also moved. However, his speed was even faster than Su Wen had imagined! Su Wen had just pointed out with his finger and had yet to release any force when Wu Kunhu had already rushed in front of Su Wen.

Pa!

His fist landed on Su Wen’s wrist!

Too fast!

Su Wen never thought that someone could attack so quickly. That’s right! His attack speed was beyond imagination.

Su Wen’s Pupils of the Vermillion Bird had predicted where the attack was going to land, and there was no time for Su Wen to dodge before it had arrived.

‘Strong!’

This was the only thought flashed through Su Wen’s mind, and the direction of his finger attack had already been deflected!

Hong! A huge flame exploded, but Wu Kuhu had already charged in front of Su Wen and punched towards Su Wen’s head!

“I can’t take this head on!” Su Wen quickly made a judgment!

The other party’s fist was extremely powerful. If he were to eat this move, it would surely open him up to be defeated by Wu Kunhu’s relentless attacks!

This was how Wu Lie fell!

“Raging Flames Mirage Body!” Su Wen’s body suddenly became blurry as if it had turned into flames. Wu Kunhu’s fist instantly passed through Su Wen’s head! “F*ck me!”

“Amazing!” “What move is Lord Su using?”

Everyone cried out in surprise. This was too unexpected.

Even Wu Lie widened his eyes! Su Wen quickly retreated! However, his body had only just started to move when he realized that Wu Kunhu had already once again closed in on him. “If this is the only effect of your move, then I’m really disappointed!” Wu Kunhu only stated calmly. His hands did not stop moving. In less than a second, he had thrown out a multitude of punches!

However, it kept phasing through Su Wen as if it was hitting air. “There are no killing moves attached to this, and you eventually have to change back.” Wu Kunhu wasn’t in a hurry, he just kept patiently punching as he waited. “Raging Flames Mirage Swap!” Suddenly, Su Wen disappeared under Wu Kunhu’s astonished gaze. His figure returned to his original spot where he activated the skill!

Wu Kunhu did not notice that when Su Wen left earlier, there was still an illusory flame left behind.

This was a move from the Raging Flames Mirage Body. He could materialize his body on the spot, or he could move his body to an illusory flame he set beforehand! It could be said to be a godly skill that could be used to escape the enemy’s pursuit or shift the target’s position. However, the rate at which he was expending his True Qi was simply too fast. “Ten Fingers Rapid Burst!” Su Wen raised his hands as he stepped on the Extreme Yang Star Position. The True Qi in his body started to pour out as if it was free. He mustered up his strength in an attempt to attack Wu Kunhu! The ten fingers shot out the force of the Sunburst Spirit Finger at the same time!

Bang! The Holy Flames burned again. Su Wen opened his Pupils of the Vermillion Bird as he stared intently at the flames. Whoosh!

A figure rushed out of the flames to once again exchange blows with Su Wen! Su Wen could hold on much longer than Wu Lie, since he could make up for any flaws in his battle with his Raging Flames Mirage Body. He kept tangling with Wu Kunhu!

But soon, the True Qi in Su Wen’s body was depleted. Too powerful, this guy is really too powerful. Su Wen felt that Wu Kunhu’s cultivation base was also restricted at the 6th Grade of Earth Rank. However, Wu Kunhu’s speed was like an accelerator that always moved faster than him!

This was something Su Wen had never felt experienced in his fights before. Little did he know that Wu Kunhu was also secretly praising Su Wen. Su Wen’s Raging Flames Mirage Body was also a martial technique he had never seen before.

It’s initial effect was already so terrifying. Without this move, Su Wen would not have been able to last more than ten moves against him.

Bang!

Wu Kunhu finally connected with Su Wen’s vital spot, punching him in the stomach! This punch was extremely penetrating. The pain instantly invaded Su Wen’s brain! Peng! Another punch greeted him. Su Wen realized that Wu Kunhu did not even use his True Qi at this point!

It was as if he knew that Su Wen’s Qi was exhausted and that he compensated by only using his physical strength! Su Wen tried his best to retaliate, but it was useless.

His moves were completely seen through the moment he raised his hand. The following fight turned into a one-sided beating! This was also the first time Su Wen had tasted failure, and furthermore, it was a complete failure!

He originally thought that he would have a chance if Wu Kunhu controlled his cultivation to 6th Grade Earth Rank.

However, upon crossing arms, he realized that there was no chance for them to fight! All they could do was dodge. “Why? What’s the difference?” Su Wen couldn’t figure it out. Even through the Pupils of the Vermillion Bird, Su Wen did not see Wu Kunhu unleash any powerful moves. To put it bluntly, he was only constantly attacking, attacking and attacking. However, Su Wen was just no match for him.

“Why?”

Peng! Su Wen was sent flying at the last hit.

Wu Kunhu was satisfied as he watched Su Wen crash to the ground. He said in a deep voice, “The sparring ends here!” Su Wen was lying on the ground with a swollen face, bereft of True Qi in his body. He did not have any way to recover from his injuries. Feeling the pain in his body, he was filled with doubts. “Why?”

What did Wu Kunhu do?

Wu Kunhu waved his hand and the soldiers dispersed.

Only Wu Lie was left with him on the area.

Wu Lie walked to Su Wen’s side and asked with concern, “Are you alright? Don’t be disheartened. This old man is just so fierce. You just need to get used to it!” Su Wen looked at Wu Lie angrily and gritted his teeth. “Why should I get used to it?” “That’s right. This daddy has the system. Why should I get used to being beaten up?’ He sat up and looked at Wu Kunhu before asking, “Why did this happen? You clearly didn’t use any powerful martial techniques!” Wu Kunhu looked at Su Wen and said seriously, “Your cultivation technique is powerful and your True Qi is pure. Even with my 6th Grade Earth Rank cultivation base, I’m still inferior to you. But let me ask you, have you really cultivated these battle techniques and cultivation techniques seriously?” “Of course!” Su Wen replied without hesitation. Wu Kunhu shook his head slightly and said, “Battle techniques are divided into moves and forces. In our world now, even Heaven Rank Battle Skills are also separated by how heavy the force they emit and how light the moves are executed. They focus on the essence of martial arts and the study of the usage of force. Your so-called cultivation is probably more about how to figure out the circulation of force and how to break through your current cultivation, right?”.

Su Wen was stunned. “Isn’t that supposed to be the case?”

Wu Kunhu said in a low voice, “When martial artists fight, there are many factors that determine victory and defeat. There are bodies, weapons, moves, cultivation techniques, how many people they are fighting, and so on.” “You’ve placed all your attention on raising your cultivation technique, so how much do you really know about yourself?” “Do you know what’s the maximum weight you can lift? Do you know how much your strength and speed will increase if you strengthen your body? Do you know how many attacks you can withstand?” “Do you know how much your attacking speed will increase after you use the same move countless times?”

Wu Kunhu’s words stunned Su Wen.

He only heard him continue, “I’m a general, a leader. I only have one thought, and that is to become stronger in all aspects, stronger than anyone, and survive the battlefield!”

“Therefore, no matter what cultivation I have, I will strengthen everything in my body to the limit. I will only break through when I feel that my battle prowess has reached the peak of the current level and that further refinement is useless.”

“Therefore, no matter what rank my cultivation is, I have never met an opponent that could go toe to toe with me!” At this point, a hint of loneliness flashed across Wu Kunhu’s eyes.

Then he said, “Of course, my idea is just to give you a reference. It’s also to tell you why you lost to me. It’s not for you to learn. A crude person like me isn’t even at Heaven Rank. Perhaps I’m just misleading others.” Speaking to here, Wu Kunhu smiled and said, “But I still think that the word cultivation is made up of the words ‘train’ and ‘refine’. How can one only ‘refine’ but not ‘train’?”

Su Wen looked at Wu Lie and asked curiously, “Why didn’t you follow in his footsteps?” Wu Lie smiled bitterly. “His methods are too tiring…” Su Wen fell into deep thought. Slowly, the True Qi in his body recovered a little, and he recovered from his injuries. He stood up and bowed to Wu Kunhu. “Thank you for your guidance!” With that said, Su Wen turned around and left. Along the way, he fell into deep thought. Wu Kunhu’s words could be said to have confused him. To put it simply, Wu Kunhu’s idea was to maximize his potential and combat strength at his current level!

On the other hand, Wu Kunhu might not be a match for someone who had focused on cultivation and ascended to the Heaven Rank in the same generation as him.

For example… Si Tu…

From the looks of it, wasn’t this cultivation futile?

Perhaps Wu Lie was also conflicted with Wu Kunhu’s thoughts at the bottom of his heart. That was why he said that it was tiring and did not want to walk the same path as Wu Kunhu. It was also because of this that Wu Lie was not interested in such guidance pointers. Because he knew that at the same level, Wu Kunhu’s training method was indeed more effective. He was definitely not Wu Kunhu’s match.

However, there was one sentence that bothered Su Wen a lot.

Wu Kunhu asked him if he had really cultivated those battle techniques before. Although he answered readily at that time, he knew himself the best.

He rarely practiced saber and fist techniques. He basically relied on the system to level them up. He focused more on cultivating the Heaven & Earth Great Solar Sutra that the system could not directly upgrade. “There is direct distillation of knowledge from the system… but is true comprehension the same as distilling from the system?” Suddenly, Su Wen started to suspect the system as well. Su Wen thought of something else. Under the Saber God Mode, the power of his Nine Waves Return to Origin would greatly increase, and his consumption of it greatly decreased. This also meant that the so-called maximum level comprehension given by the system was not without room for improvement! As the saying went, ‘The truth comes out from practice.’ He thought about how Wu Kunhu didn’t have any magnificent moves. He could only just do the same one punch move, yet Su Wen himself was rendered unable to retaliate at all.

Then if Wu Kunhu used a battle technique, how strong would his battle prowess be? If he really encountered an opponent like Wu Kunhu at the same cultivation level one day, what would he do?

The world was so big, who could say what would happen in the future?

“Perhaps it’s time to practice.” This thought rose up in Su Wen’s mind. However, it was obvious that this was a path that required a lot of time and resources.

“Emotional Value! Emotional Value!” Su Wen thought of some supplementary cultivation items that were present in the system exchange center. In the past, he had never thought of exchanging for it. However, this time, he might be able to give it a try. However, he still needed a lot of Emotional Value to purchase these items.

Meanwhile, in Yan Luoying’s tent. Wu Muyu pouted and couldn’t help but complain, “Sister Yan, aren’t you going to see Brother Su? Look at how badly he’s beaten up by my father. Don’t you feel sorry for him?” Yan Luoying laid her bed and said with a smile, “What’s there to feel sorry for? Such things are normal when sparring. You can’t possibly hope that the enemies you meet in the future won’t hit your precious Brother Su!” “Hmph! You heartless woman. Where should I sleep?” Wu Muyu realized that there was only a small bed in the room. Yan Luoying glanced at her and smiled. “I’ve already gotten someone to prepare a new bedroll for you. Sleep on the ground!” Suddenly, Yan Luoying raised her eyebrows. “You’ve been with Su Wen for so many days…” Wu Muyu suddenly thought of something embarrassing, and her face flushed red as she said, “No, I don’t dare to. If I really did that with Brother Su, my father might really fly into a rage and kill Brother Su.” Yan Luoying sneered. “Pfft! Do you think I don’t know what Su Wen is like? He’s just trying to switch things up a little for novelty. Sleep on the ground obediently! You’re so young and yet instead of learning how to be an upright person, you’re trying to steal my husband!”

Wu Muyu did not dare to flare up at Yan Luoying, since it was not worth getting beaten up. She only muttered, “Brother Su doesn’t belong to you alone.” In the capital, Spiritual Masters Residence, the No.7 Residence. Ni Hongxiao looked nervously at the huge egg in front of her.

This was the final reward that she had brought out from the Star Martial Mystic Realm. At this moment, many parts of the eggshell had already cracked. Through the cracks, one could faintly see the red light shimmering within. Furthermore, it was constantly emitting high temperatures. Ni Hongxiao had also specially set up a formation around the egg. The Heaven and Earth Origin Qi constantly gathered into the egg. Finally, the egg cracked and a small hand stretched out.

Then another.

Not long after, the entire eggshell broke apart.

A little girl about two to three years old sat inside the eggshell.

This girl had red hair, red eyes, and fair skin.

She looked at Ni Hongxiao, her eyes smiling like crescent moons as she shouted in a childish voice, “Mommy!”

She actually had such a strong consciousness the moment she was born!

Ni Hongxiao’s eyes flashed with excitement!

Success!

Her experiment this time was a success!
