The Ape Demon King Kong Fist was a body-tempering fist technique that many people could spend their entire lives studying.
For example, Su Jie has only cultivated the Ape Demon King Kong Fist and reached the third level. He was comparable to a first-rate martial artist and could easily defeat a locally famous martial artist like Nan Dong.
Su Wu pondered for a moment and replied: "I'm currently working in the Divine Constable Bureau. In a few days, I'll return to the Divine Constable Bureau and ask my superior for an internal cultivation technique… However, I might not be able to obtain a profound cultivation technique. It's fine to study it if you wish."
"That's great!"
Su Jie was delighted. He could not help but look forward to Su Wu obtaining him an internal cultivation technique.
Two days later, Su Wu left Qingshui Town and went to the Divine Constable Bureau. It took him more than half a month to return.
When Su Wu returned, he brought good news to Su Jie: "I returned to the Divine Constable Bureau and obtained three books on cultivation techniques. However, they are not profound cultivation techniques. You can take a look at which one suits you."
Su Wu handed Su Jie a package containing three secret manuals.
"Hmm…" Su Jie nodded vigorously. Between father and son, he certainly would not say thank you or anything like that.
Su Wu smiled when he saw this. He has been outside at work most of the time and gave insufficient care and concern for his son. All he could do was try his best to satisfy Su Jie's needs.
In less than a week, Su Wu returned to the Divine Constable Bureau while Su Jie began to study the three secret manuals that Su Wu had brought back.
Just as Su Wu had said, these three cultivation techniques could not be described as treasures, divine techniques or other related terms. They were just ordinary cultivation techniques.
After all, if it was a very profound cultivation technique, Su Wu would not be able to easily obtain it, let alone teach it to any random person.
"White Cloud Art, Mystic Fire Technique, Hardening Technique…"
These were the names of the three cultivation techniques that Su Wu had brought back.
One could tell from the name that it was not a powerful or profound inner strength technique.
"If I cultivate these three cultivation techniques to the highest realm, I'll only be at the level of a first-rate martial artist…"
Su Jie scratched his head aimlessly. He was limited in his options for he could not ask for so much. He could only look at which book suited him best and study it.
The White Cloud Art. The White Cloud Qi cultivated by this cultivation technique was gentle and varied. When he exercised this cultivation technique, there seemed to be dense clouds on the surface of his body. When his fists and feet hit it, it was as if they hit cotton. It was a brilliant technique for absorbing a force.
The Mystic Fire Technique cultivated Qi that was as hot as fire. When cultivated to a high level, the Qi released could burn the enemy's blood and meridians. It was mainly used for attacking.
The remaining Body Hardening Technique was known as the Body Hardening Technique via Endurance Training in its entirety. There was nothing special about the Qi cultivated by this cultivation technique. It could mainly be used on the body to increase bodily functions, strength, defense, and so on.
White Cloud Art (Compatibility: 4%)
Su Jie picked up the White Cloud Art manual and was about to flip through it when this line of small words appeared in front of him.
"I can see the compatibility between the martial arts secret manual and myself?" Su Jie was delighted. This would undoubtedly save him a lot of effort. If he could see the compatibility, it would be easy to choose the cultivation technique secret manual with the highest compatibility!
The White Cloud Art only had a 4% compatibility. It was even lower than Su Jie's initial compatibility with Ape Demon King Kong Fist.
Mystic Fire Technique (Compatibility: 6%)
As for the Mystic Fire Technique, his compatibility with it was 6%. It was more suitable for him than the White Cloud Art.
"Hmm?"
However, what surprised Su Jie was his compatibility with the Body Hardening Technique!
Body Hardening Technique (Compatibility: 25%)
His compatibility with the Body Hardening Technique was on a completely different level compared to his compatibility with the White Cloud Art and the Mystic Fire Technique! It reached a staggering 25%!
"Body Hardening Technique. This cultivation technique cultivates Qi that strengthens bodily functions. It relies on the body itself. The Ape Demon King Kong Fist I cultivate is a body-tempering fist technique. My body became powerful and my arm now has more than 1000 pounds worth of divine power. When I cultivate Body Hardening Technique, it's twice the result with half the effort. Naturally, my compatibility is extremely high!"
Su Jie was overjoyed. He knew that among these three cultivation techniques, the Body Hardening Technique was the most suitable for him.
"Since Body Hardening Technique suits me, it's definitely suitable for the ape avatar who also cultivates the Ape Demon King Kong Fist!"
Su Jie thought to himself. He decided to let the ape avatar study this Body Hardening Technique too!
Su Jie flipped through the book.
Just like the Ape Demon King Kong Fist, the Body Hardening Technique was also divided into three levels.
At the first level of the Body Hardening Technique, one could condense Qi in one's fists, legs, and other parts of the body, greatly increasing the lethality of each punch and kick. It was as if the flesh and blood had turned into hard rocks, comparable to a third-rate martial artist.
At the second level, Qi could strengthen most of the body apart from the head and pubic area. One would be considered a second-rate expert at this level!
At the third level of the Body Hardening Technique, even a weak head could be strengthened with Qi. It would be hard as metal. Ordinary blades could not hurt the entire body at all. At this level, one could already be ranked as a first-rate expert!
"Start cultivating!"
Su Jie was full of motivation to cultivate the Body Hardening Technique. The ape avatar far away in the Yinchuan Mountain also cultivated the Body Hardening Technique.
Just as Su Jie expected, the ape avatar could cultivate the Body Hardening Technique and its cultivation speed was extremely fast!
In the Yinchuan Mountain, the burly ape avatar sat cross-legged quietly. He breathed in a rhythmic pattern as faint Qi lingered between his nose and mouth.
As he breathed in and out, a breath of Qi was gradually born. This breath was not good at attacking or defending. It only had one purpose. It was used to strengthen the body's functions and allow them to erupt with greater strength, giving the body a stronger defense to the point of invulnerability!
Body Strengthening Technique (Compatibility: 31%. Cultivation Progress: 5%, Entry Level)
After a day, information about Body Hardening Technique appeared on Su Jie's attribute panel.
In just one day, his compatibility with the Body Hardening Technique has increased by 6%! Moreover, his cultivation progress has also reached 5%!
"At this rate… In less than three months, I'll be able to train my Body Hardening Technique to the first level!"
Passion ignited Su Jie's heart.
It was known that mortal martial artists were divided into third-rate, second-rate, and first-rate.
A third-rate martial artist could deal with three or four burly men with his bare hands. Ordinary people would have to spend ten years cultivating to reach the realm of a third-rate martial artist!
A second-rate martial artist could deal with three or four third-rate martial artists. Ordinary people would have to spend nearly twenty years of bitter cultivation to reach this level!
A first-rate martial artist could easily fight ten people alone. At this stage, he would have already made a name for himself in the martial arts world. Many people practiced martial arts since they were young and the highest achievement they could achieve in their lives was becoming a first-rate martial artist.
Reaching the first level of the Body Hardening Technique corresponded to becoming a third-rate martial artist. An ordinary person would need nearly ten years.
On the other hand, Su Jie could reach the first level of the Body Hardening Technique in at most three months. This gap was undoubtedly quite big!
This was not only due to his high compatibility but also how Su Jie has also cultivated the Ape Demon King Kong Fist and has long established an incomparably solid foundation which allowed him to cultivate the Body Hardening Technique at a breakneck pace!
