Chapter 336: Chapter 301: Choosing a Cultivation Technique

After Gao Meijing left, Zhang Shaoyang looked at the large piece of beast hide in front of him and opened it with a frown.

"Mad Demon Fist".

This was a secret manual that recorded fist techniques, with the whole piece explaining how to temper the body, practice selflessly, and thus achieve a state of madness and a realm where the fist techniques become divine.

Besides the fist techniques, it surprisingly also contained a small portion about body refinement.

Zhang Shaoyang closed the "Mad Demon Fist" and murmured, "A pretty good fist technique, but unfortunately the way it is applied is too deranged."

"It’s fine sparring with ordinary people, but if you’re fighting with Desolate Beasts or Demon Beasts, is it that you’re in a hurry to die?"

"What is Gao Meijing really thinking, trying to win me over, or..."

With a thought, he casually tossed the "Mad Demon Fist" aside.

He had the "Dragon Elephant Pure Yang Skill," how could he possibly be interested in the "Mad Demon Fist"?

"No matter what Gao Meijing’s purpose is, as long as my strength increases, I can face any crisis..."

With that, Zhang Shaoyang calmed down and continued to cultivate "Dragon Elephant Pure Yang Skill".

A few days later, several cultivators managed to escape together, then shortly after, angry roars and screams were heard from the forest, and then it became quiet again.

Finally, the remaining dozen or so cultivators all gave up and settled down to live under the mountain stronghold.

Besides these, Chen Hu and others went out again, this time bringing back dozens of cultivators.

According to the new arrivals, the whirlpool on the Nether Spirit Sea hadn’t stopped, continuously swallowing cultivators from the Nether Abyss, who were then brought here by Chen Hu and others.

During this period, an event that widened Zhang Shaoyang’s view occurred.

One newly arrived cultivator suddenly turned violent at night, assassinating several martial artists in an attempt to take over the stronghold and threaten Chen Hu.

This individual claimed to be ’Zihe Zhenren’, a Late-stage Golden Core Cultivator.

He clearly knew of the strange aspects of Spiritless Island and, upon awakening, immediately summoned the Spirit Beast he had reared from his Spirit Beast Bag.

A Golden Core Stage Spiritual Crane!

Although due to the Spiritless Island, he couldn’t use magical power or spells, the mere physical body of a Golden Core Stage Spirit Beast was impossible for the cultivators present to resist.

Just in the first encounter, several people died under the claws of the Spiritual Crane.

At this point, Chen Hu suddenly intervened, relying on his martial artist’s body to withstand the attacks of the Golden Core Stage Demon Beast and even managed to fly in the air.

With immense strength, he slew the Spiritual Crane, personally tearing off the head of the Golden Core Stage Spirit Beast!!!

Amidst the rain of blood, countless cultivators were left dumbfounded.

Only then did they clearly understand that Chen Hu’s strength was not something they could oppose.

As for Zhang Shaoyang, he remained silent and his clandestine cultivation actions became even more secretive.

Among everyone, perhaps only Zheng Yi was not very surprised.

After all, Chen Hu’s martial prowess, is that of a Martial God!

His mere Martial Dao Will could rival the Divine Thought of a Golden Core Stage Cultivator.

How could a mere Demon Beast that couldn’t use spells and could only rely on its physical body to kill be his match?

A few days later, Chen Hu suddenly gathered all the cultivators and spoke:

"Since everyone wants to stay here, consider it as passing my test. Naturally, I, Chen, will not treat you fellow Daoists poorly!"

With a wave of Chen Hu’s hand, his subordinates immediately appeared behind him, holding a pile of beast hides, standing in a row.

The keen-eyed Zhang Shaoyang noticed that behind Chen Hu, Gao Meijing and Guiyun Wanderer remained standing together.

Strangely, Wan Chengzhi, Chen Man, and others were nowhere to be seen, and it was unknown where they went.

"We cultivators are stranded on Spiritless Island, with no magical power, no Spiritual Qi, unable to control Magical Artifacts or Treasures, yet we can still survive in this place. The reason is... Martial Dao!"

"Only by stepping into Martial Dao can you protect yourselves and ensure the continuity of the Canglan Human Race’s lineage!"

"Although I, Chen, am not someone who is utterly selfless, I do understand the concept of the lips being gone and the teeth being cold."

"Therefore, today, I shall teach you the Martial Arts Cultivation Technique!"

"Those willing to follow me, Chen, step forward and receive a Martial Arts Secret Manual!"

"Limited to three manuals per person...!"

"Wow...!"

This startled all the newcomers, who started discussing in low voices.

"Chen Hu is going to teach Martial Arts Cultivation Technique!"

"Isn’t there some sort of conspiracy?"

"Martial Arts Cultivation Technique... I never paid attention to this matter before!"

"We cultivators have open meridians, tough acupoints, wouldn’t cultivating Martial Arts Cultivation Technique progress by leaps and bounds?"

"Chen Hu... teaching Martial Arts Cultivation Technique! This is the grace of imparting the path..."

Amidst the intense discussion, everyone’s expressions varied.

Excitement, hesitation, conflict, also suspicion, indifference, and so on.

Chen Hu’s action was not a simple teaching of the technique; it bestowed the grace of imparting the path.

To some extent, Chen Hu could be considered a master to everyone present!

Unless among this group, there were Demonic Path individuals who would betray their master and ancestors, they would owe him a favor.

Even if they don’t become his subordinates, they would never easily make a move against him in the future.

This was Chen Hu’s overt scheme!

If you want to survive in this world, then cultivate martial arts.

Don’t know how?

I can teach you!

After learning my Martial Arts Secret Manual, you all become mine in the future.

Unless... you dare to betray your master and ancestors!

Of course, even if they were Demonic Cultivators, how many could really betray their master and ancestors?

The crowd discussed for a quarter of an hour, but eventually, a young man stepped forward and performed a Dao bow.

"I am Lin Chong, thank you Senior Chen for the grace of imparting the path!"

Chen Hu nodded and said, "Lin Chong, right? From now on, we’re brothers, hahaha..."

After saying so, he moved to the martial artists, selecting Martial Arts Cultivation Techniques.

"I am Moo Beifeng, thank you Senior Chen for the grace of imparting the path!"

"I am Qing Yunzi, thank you Fellow Daoist Chen for the grace of imparting the path!"

"I am Li Changfeng, thank you Fellow Daoist Chen for the grace of imparting the path..."

Soon, one cultivator after another stepped forward to express gratitude while starting to select Martial Arts Cultivation Techniques.

From that point onward, these cultivators who selected Martial Arts Cultivation Techniques willingly followed Chen Hu’s orders from their hearts.

Unless they could go against their Dao Heart!

Seeing the number of people around gradually decreasing, Zhang Shaoyang also pretended to follow the crowd, stepping forward to give thanks and selecting techniques.

"Huh? ’Mad Demon Fist’!"

Seeing the first Martial Arts Secret Manual, Zhang Shaoyang was taken aback and subconsciously glanced at Gao Meijing.

And Gao Meijing, she gave him a sweet smile in return.

It seemed that Gao Meijing was also generously using others’ resources.

Using Chen Hu’s things to win people’s hearts.

Nevertheless, he did not voice it and moved to the second person.

"’Mad Demon Staff Technique’?"

"’Night Battle Eight Directions’?"

"’Heaven and Earth’s Shared Longevity’?"

"’Blood Demon Fist’?"

"’Iron Sand Palm’?"

"’Vajra Body Refining Technique’?"

"Why are they all Horizontal Refining Methods, along with life-risking Martial Arts Techniques?"

"What exactly is Chen Hu planning?"

The people present, whose cultivation levels were at least Foundation Establishment Cultivators, quickly noticed something. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

However, they did not speak about it but went on quietly selecting the techniques they were interested in, observing silently.

Zhang Shaoyang pondered for a while and selected the "Blood Demon Fist", "Heaven and Earth’s Shared Longevity", and "Vajra Body Refining Technique" for his three techniques.

Adding the "Mad Demon Fist" given by Gao Meijing, he now had four Martial Arts Cultivation Techniques in his possession.

"Alright!"

After everyone finished selecting, Chen Hu loudly said, "Now that all of you Daoists have chosen, there will be people to guide your cultivation."

"If there’s anything you don’t understand, feel free to consult with us at any time...!"
