Chapter 79: 76. Perfect Martial Path, Sweeping the Martial Arts Halls (Seeking Subscriptions)

The next morning,

Song Cheng noticed that the food at the estate had deteriorated.

In just a few days, the prodigal son-in-law had spent over ten thousand taels of silver, and the household had also donated over ten thousand taels. How could they not pinch pennies and live frugally?

Yet, there were two exceptions.

First, his meals.

Even if the young lady and others gnawed on hard bread together, his meals remained as usual.

Second was demon beast meat.

The supply for Madam Tong, Ying, Zhao Hua, and many martial artists had not changed.

There was a rule in the Ruyi Commerce Chamber that one must reach the Force Realm to consume such resources as demon beast meat; otherwise, one could only have ordinary pork or mutton.

However, Madam Tong was an exception.

Since her cultivation, Madam Tong had always used the best resources and had the best “teacher.”

This “teacher” not only taught her with dedication, advising her at every opportunity but even discussed it while on the bed and helped this “student” in loosening her muscles and bones to assist in opening her “river of force power.”

Freeing those channels was a task that involved the whole body and, unsurprisingly, involved touching private areas.

In a wooded idyll, such places were hard to avoid.

However, as husband and wife, they had long since overcome any embarrassment.

If avoidance was futile, why worry?

Therefore, Tong Jia’s cultivation speed was quite fast.

While cultivating, Madam Tong also did not neglect her medical skills. During her days at the chamber, she tasked Ling to search far and wide for medical books, which she then quietly perused.

Song Cheng, in fact, had also thought about learning medical skills, but he realized his talent only applied to “Yang Qi Martial Arts,” so non-martial arts did not come easily to him.

Yet, he did not mind. Favorability, data, and even longevity allowed him to take his time to delve into areas he had never explored after becoming stronger.

At this point, he put on his neat clothing, stood in the courtyard, and took his stance.

As a fierce wind rose, the sun shone brightly.

Leaves rustled, an ink world whirled and spun.

The youth opened his Heart’s Eye, standing in a world of extreme motion.

He assumed the opening pose of the Barbarian Bear Force, and the wind of his fists howled as he practiced in the secluded courtyard.

After a while, Ying and Madam Tong also arrived.

The two women glanced at Song Cheng and recognized that he was practicing an unfamiliar fist technique.

The two women exchanged a glance; Ying felt that the son-in-law was unfathomable yet held her tongue, while Madam Tong was unfazed… then they both stood a short distance from Song Cheng and began to practice.

…

…

In the afternoon, the sound of horns suddenly rose, piercing through the clouds.

A sense of desolate heroism enveloped the entire Hanping Prefecture.

The Great Hall Master of Shanhe Martial Arts Hall, White Camel Estate’s Master, donned light armor, led nearly twenty thousand of the prefectural army, alongside hundreds of experts and numerous civilians pushing wheelbarrows of supplies, as they marched out through the north gate.

Military pay and provisions were all sufficient.

The crowd saw them off, the soldiers stretched for miles.

Weapons gleamed, a cold light glinted off them in the midday sun.

As they set out, one could see the high morale, with many holding their heads high as if it was certainly a battle they would win.

Their eyes were on the two leaders at the forefront.

Those were truly eminent figures, people who had attained a Realm level above the Form Realm, who had broken the boundaries of human longevity. With them present, they provided a sure foundation for all the people.

On either side of the street, many small families also sent representatives to see them off, watching the geniuses from their families waving from afar, shouting: “Do well, earn more military honors!”

“Kill more barbarians!”

“Don’t disgrace the family!”

This time, military merit would undoubtedly be rewarded like never before.

It could be said that if you could gain merit in this war, fame, status, wealth, and cultivation techniques would be within your grasp.

This war was undoubtedly the best opportunity for class advancement, one that was rare even in several decades.

Many families even secretly felt grateful to the barbarians for providing this opportunity.

As for failure…

With both the Great Hall Master of Shanhe Martial Arts Hall and White Camel Estate’s Master personally leading, they… shouldn’t lose, right?

…

…

Song Cheng listened to the reverberating sound of the horns, echoing over thousands of eaves, turned his head to take a glance, and then turned back, continuing to focus on his martial practice.

White Snake, Willow Brushing, Absolute, Mysterious Turtle, Flying Wheel, Cleave, Barbarian Bear…

Flesh and Blood Force, Form Gang Qi, dispersed with a wave of his hand.

In between, Water Bird and Turning Waves could be faintly seen cycling through his force power…

Also, some other forces were subtly mixed within.

During this period, the youth was anything but idle.

The prodigal son-in-law had not squandered the over ten thousand taels for nothing.

He experienced an Out of Body Divine Soul, drove objects, read books, and looked through many cultivation techniques.

With his martial level, although some words were incomprehensible at times, he could infer the rest from context. If he truly couldn’t understand the core sections, he’d remember the words, write them down for Ling or Madam Tong to see upon his return, and then grasp them.

Besides “Barbarian Bear Force,” he found ten more martial arts halls’ force methods.

Out of these ten, he fully mastered four in one day.

Among the remaining six, four were linked to “Fierce and Mighty Power,” so they couldn’t be mastered quickly.

However, two covered areas different from the Barbarian Bear Force.

These two were “Whale Cry Force” and “Black Dragon Force.”

These were the techniques from the two largest martial arts halls in the prefectural city, aside from Shanhe Martial Arts Hall.

Song Cheng was sure of this, as these two force methods were quite unique.

“Whale Cry Force” was a force method specializing in twin fists, known in the martial arts hall circles as “Divine Fist Force.” It’s said that when practiced to Great Achievement, the major tendons on the upper arms pulse, flesh rearranges, causing the fists to expand as if inflated, and within a clenched fist, one seemed to hear the low, piercing sound of fetal movement.

“Black Dragon Force,” on the other hand, was a leg-focused strength, matching the “Whale Cry Force” in martial circles, with the saying “Whale Fist and Dragon Legs.” This leg force took inspiration from the “Black Dragon Tail Flick,” and once mastered to Great Achievement, bones and tendons resonated, flesh enveloped, turning the legs as hard as iron, akin to steel-reinforced bones or metal sculptures.
