Iron Cloth Shirt:

Tempering the physical body is like wearing a suit of iron armor, capable of resisting any external force like steel.

Upon cultivation to the Perfect Realm, there is a certain chance to awaken the Burst Skill “Impervious to Sword and Spear”.

Thirteen Taibao Horizontal Training:

External training of muscles, bones, and skin is simple and forthright, with quick actions, forceful advancing, and a strong body.

A knife leaves a white mark, and a spear makes a white spot.

Upon cultivation to the Perfect Realm, there is a certain chance to awaken the Burst Skill “Iron Body, Bronze Skin”.

It should be noted that one must maintain virginity while cultivating this skill.

Once virginity is lost, the cultivation is immediately ruined.

Iron Sand Palm:

A palm technique trained with iron sand, a form of hard external training.

The skin of both hands thickens, muscles and ligaments gain strength, and the body becomes more adapted to the environment.

The wrist and finger joints are flexible, and the muscles and tendons increase in force, making them powerful and robust.

Upon cultivation to the Perfect Realm, there is a certain chance to awaken the Burst Skill “Stone Breaking”.

Guiyang Skill:

Also known as the Guiyang Skill, by grinding and pressing the back with millstones, the back muscles are strengthened, rising like mountain ranges.

In time, the back becomes as hard as a tortoise’s shell, impenetrable to anything.

Upon cultivation to the Perfect Realm, there is a certain chance to awaken the Burst Skill “Turtle Carrying Stele”.

…

A dazzle of choices, a splendid array.

Fang Zhixing clicked his tongue in wonder, filled with emotion.

Before, he had to rack his brains for a single cultivation technique.

He had never imagined that at this moment, so many techniques would appear before him, available for his choosing.

Fang Zhixing looked around and could not help asking, “Hall Master Lu, although we are free to choose among these four types of techniques, everything should follow a lineage, right?

I’ve previously cultivated the Iron Mountain Skill; which of these techniques is most compatible with it?”

Upon hearing this, Lu Anfu smiled and countered, “Young brother, do you really think all the cultivation techniques in the world are here?

I tell you, there are hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of cultivation techniques in the world, far beyond our imagination.

The techniques that are present here have all been carefully selected by our predecessors through generations, and all are very compatible with the Iron Mountain Skill.” ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

Fang Zhixing thought it made sense, fell silent for a moment, then asked, “Among the four categories, which did you start to enhance with, Hall Master?”

Lu Anfu answered earnestly, “I first chose agility, to increase my speed.

As the saying goes, ‘In all martial arts, only speed is unbreakable’!

As long as we master agile movements and super-fast speed, we can attack quickly and retreat swiftly, making it hard to be defeated.

Even if we encounter stronger experts, we can still manage to escape.

In short, agility is supreme; survival is the top priority!”

Hearing this, Fang Zhixing found himself unable to argue.

Indeed, from the perspective of survival, enhancing agility is undoubtedly the first choice.

As long as one is fast enough, one can launch a surprise attack on the enemy.

And as long as one runs fast enough, nobody can catch them.

What a great idea!

Fang Zhixing seemed contemplative, hesitating to make a decision.

Seeing this, Lu Anfu smiled and said, “Little brother, take your time to think it over, no rush.

I have some other matters to attend to, so I won’t keep you company here any longer.”

Fang Zhixing had no objections and asked, “After I have chosen a cultivation technique, what should I do?”

Lu Anfu replied, “The cultivation techniques are strictly forbidden to be taken outside, so you can only commit the entire technique to memory within the secret chamber.”

Furthermore, you must absolutely not privately teach the cultivation technique to anyone, otherwise, once you’re discovered, not only will the Iron Mountain Sect hunt you down, but the Luo Family will also send someone personally to take care of you.

Believe me, no one can escape the pursuit of an Aristocratic Family.”

Fang Zhixing understood and asserted, “Hall Master, rest assured, I won’t do anything to jeopardize my future.”

“Good, I’m glad you understand,” Lu Anfu turned around and left.

After that, Fang Zhixing lingered in front of the four bookshelves, flipping through every martial arts secret manual, yet he continued to waver, finding it difficult to make a choice.

“Four to choose from, what do you plan to pick?”

Xigou, growing impatient, suddenly asked via telepathy.

Fang Zhixing answered earnestly, “It concerns my future and prospects, I must think it through carefully.”

“What’s there to be so torn about?”

Xigou pondered and said, “Think about it, no matter which category you choose, the end result is the same.

For instance, if you choose defense, continuously tempering the toughness and strength of your body, then your power will naturally increase, and your agility and resilience have no reason not to improve as well.

That is to say, no matter what you choose to enhance, the result is to improve all aspects, isn’t it?”

Fang Zhixing, however, shook his head and objected, “Do you think weightlifters are good at running?

Do you think marathon runners are very good at weightlifting?

There is specialization in every trade; you can’t have both fish and bear’s paws.”

Xigou thought it made sense, and after pondering for a few seconds, he analyzed, “Even so, according to what Lu Anfu said about the Five Beasts Realm theory, the ultimate outcome of martial arts cultivation is to achieve ‘balance’—strong defense, high resilience, quick agility, and great strength, flawless.

Isn’t it about wanting both fish and bear’s paws?”

Fang Zhixing nodded and said, “In theory, that’s correct, but our bodies are made of flesh and blood, not clay.

They can’t be moulded and changed at will.”

Fang Zhixing analytically continued, “According to my reasoning, the core theory of the Five Beasts Realm should be from the specific to the general, that is, first identifying a ‘central point’ and then expanding outwards, eventually forming a theory that is self-consistent.”

He gave an example, “It’s like the geocentric theory and the heliocentric theory; once you identify one celestial body as the reference, you get a very different conception of the universe.”

Xigou blinked and responded, “You mean that if you choose defense at the start, then your future will still be principally defense-oriented, and at most you can only make minor adjustments.”

“Yes!”

Fang Zhixing nodded and said, “Remember back in college when we were choosing majors, for example, Liu Daneng, he picked proctology.

He had to master not just the theoretical knowledge and practical skills of proctology, but also knowledge in computers, biomedical science, quality management, etc., yet when it came to finding a job, he became a proctologist, not a programmer or pharmaceutical salesperson.”

Xigou, hearing this, deeply related to it.

He had always been handsome since he was young, eloquent and smooth-talking.

As he grew up, he played to his strengths and won over many beautiful girls.

So his central point was being handsome and also skilled at flirting.

The central point means everyone has their own forte.

And this “skill,” though it develops slowly, certainly has a starting point, a central point.

It’s what you develop gradually after making a certain choice at some stage in life.

Understanding this, it’s not hard to see why Fang Zhixing was so conflicted.

“Yeah, there’s no perfect method in the world; indeed, the choice must be made with caution!” Xigou exclaimed.

Fang Zhixing stepped back and examined the totems of the Mysterious Turtle, Spiritual Ape, Shadow Leopard, and the Giant Bear.

He suddenly asked, “Xigou, which category do you think you belong to?”
