Star Sky Professional

Night.

The light flickered like beans, occasionally bursting forth.

Inside the room, Xun Heihu sat on the bench, flipping open the secret martial arts manual "Frog Fishing Force" given by his father.

His parents were preparing to leave soon; this truly relieved him of a burden.

This way, even if his obstruction against Instructor Yu was exposed, he could just leave without fearing any repercussions.

Although he believed he did it flawlessly, he was still just a youth and should not underestimate the heroes of the world.

According to what the seniors said, if warriors with awakened twelve senses related to sight and smell come to investigate, his actions would be full of flaws!

Therefore, one must consider the worst angle when acting to eliminate all possibilities.

He did not want to be young and have his family ruined, being forced to flee for his life, then returning decades or even a hundred years later to take revenge on the Five Beasts Sect!

Such a story seems thrilling in novels, but it's unimaginable when it happens to oneself.

"Frog Fishing Force..."

Xun Heihu silently read the manual: "Martial Arts sixth grade involves inner strength... Hard skills enter from outside to inside; once becoming inner strength experts, the inner strength is incomparably abundant, and the innate hundred veins are connected, the accumulation speed of inner strength will be extremely fast... Almost all sixth-grade martial artists soon reach the realm of sixth-grade Perfect."

"But afterward, cultivation is key!"

"Martial Arts fifth grade, called 'Chao Yuan,' requires cultivating the five Qi in the chest, refining inner strength to the peak..."

"Martial Arts fourth grade, known as 'Fetal Breath,' self-preserving inner Qi, holding firm, is called fetal breath, also known as 'Innate'!"

"Innate martial artists, no matter where, are top masters."

"As for the top three grades? This manual doesn't have specific magic techniques, but mentions the third grade as 'Bengyue'... can be called a Martial Arts Grandmaster, akin to myth..."

A manual that can cultivate up to the fourth grade is already quite good.

Xun Heihu felt no dissatisfaction: "If I can't join a prominent sect, I can cultivate this 'Frog Fishing Force'..."

He flipped to the end and suddenly froze.

Indeed, the latter part of the manual also detailed his father's experiences, but they were not some tomb raider's notes.

Rather, it was about various despicable Jianghu strategies!

Things like sedatives, traps, honey traps...

At first, Xun Heihu was a bit disdainful, but later felt his young heart was tainted.

Ultimately, he felt fortunate: 'Some poisoning methods in this book could catch me off guard... If careless, even inner strength masters could be knocked down by the roadside food stall helper, or even made into human meat buns...'

He felt if he encountered these strategies, he'd likely suffer.

'No... Once you awaken the twelve senses, unless it's extremely rare poison, ordinary sedatives can't knock you down anymore.'

Fang Xing's voice echoed in his heart: 'Besides, these petty tricks might work on fifth or sixth-grade martial artists... but facing fourth-grade 'Fetal Breath,' they are somewhat inadequate...'

'As for third-grade Bengyue Realm and above grandmasters? How could ants trouble Divine Dragons?'

"I see."

Xun Heihu put the manual away.

No matter what, this was a heartfelt intention from his father.

Xun Lao Liu even wrote down his unique techniques and medicine formulas without reservation.

Even preparations for ambushing an inner strength expert, psychological struggles... even cowardly, sinister thoughts.

One could say, to teach his son, he 'dissected' himself.

'Father wrote these perhaps with a foreboding feeling, preparing for future affairs?'

'Indeed, moving away quickly is the correct choice...'

...

Xun Heihu lay on the bed and soon fell asleep.

Within the True Martial Talisman.

Xun Heihu sat cross-legged, channeling his inner strength.

It was astonishing that inner strength cultivation was possible even within the True Martial Talisman.

"I am still too immature. If I were the number one on the Dragon-Tiger List, Master Lotus, possessing the strength to easily suppress Master Sky Bird, would I still act like a lost dog?"

Xun Heihu's eyes burned: "I want to cultivate! Train tirelessly! One day, I will break through the top three grades, no, the first grade! Make it to the Dragon-Tiger List, and astound the world!"

"First grade?"

In a flash of light, Fang Xing's figure appeared.

"Senior!"

Xun Heihu felt a bit embarrassed: "Am I aiming too high?"

"No, I just feel this goal... is a bit low."

Fang Xing smiled: "Nine grades of martial arts, the lower three grades rely most on financial strength, but starting from the middle three grades, martial arts talent becomes increasingly important... You have the twelve senses forged by the ancient martial lineage, solid foundation unfathomable to others, breaking into the top three grades in the future is merely a matter of time."

"And your greatest opportunity is having the True Martial Talisman! With its assistance, past emperors of Da Xia were able to break through the martial arts limit and dominate for three hundred years... You only aim for merely the first grade? Your goal should be to break through the first grade and achieve an unprecedented 'Super Grade Martial Artist,' shattering your personal limits!"

"Above the First Grade?"

Xun Heihu was startled, "Does such a realm exist?"

"People today far surpass the ancients. During the Da Xia period, were there even Great Grandmasters of the First Grade?"

Fang Xing laughed, "This world is far from fully developed, so a Martial Artist at their peak is just a First Grade... but since you possess the True Martial Talisman, you can at least break past the limit, pushing the limit of this world up by one grade... perhaps even two grades! By then, you will be a figure like the Grand Ancestor of Da Kang."

"I... I don't even have a Cultivation Technique for Inner Strength yet..." Xun Heihu admitted that the prospect was daunting.

"Looking for Cultivation Techniques for Inner Strength? Actually, the 'Crane Luring Strength' isn't bad. You could study it first, and change it when you reach the Fourth Grade if needed."

Fang Xing said, "I know you don't want to taint your Martial Arts foundation and wish to keep it pure... For ordinary Martial Artists, practicing multiple techniques means wasting time and energy and they find it hard to achieve Great Success. But in the path of Martial Arts, the foundation is first... Your foundation is immensely solid, even if you practice low-grade Martial Arts, there's no saying you can't merge the best of them and break through the Bengyue Realm of the Third Grade..."

"I..."

Xun Heihu shook his head, "I'll still rely on converting my hard skills first... With my previous accumulation being thick, I feel my Inner Strength is progressing rapidly. Moreover, what if after cultivating the Inner Strength technique, it is found out when joining another Great Sect, wouldn't it cut off my hopes? Unless... the elder can secure a Secret Book of Supreme Martial Arts for me."

He blinked his eyes, revealing a cunning smile like that of an old farmer.

"You kid... are you plotting against me?"

Fang Xing jokingly scolded.

"Choosing a Sect is a very serious matter... It's hard for outsiders to gain the trust of local Sects, let alone... entering a Sect feels like entering a deep sea. If I join a Sect, it's only to obtain a Secret Book of Supreme Martial Arts that can be cultivated beyond the Third Grade. If there is such a thing, then one can roam the martial world freely..."

Xun Heihu expressed his wish.

Even if he successfully joins a Great Sect, he would definitely be treated like a servant, and it's unlikely that they would teach him Supreme Martial Arts immediately upon entry.

It's truly frustrating to test loyalty at every turn.

"Supreme Secret Manual?"

Fang Xing smiled, "Well... it can be arranged."

"Hmm?"

Xun Heihu squinted his eyes, a bit suspicious: "Elder... didn't you say before that you could only teach me Ancient Martial techniques? How come there's now a Supreme Divine Skill?"

"I have recently悟得出来,"

Fang Xing smiled.

He had been in seclusion for quite some time, naturally gaining new insights into the 'True Martial Dao.'

In the past few years, he had silently observed the Ninth Grade Martial Arts, and at least he had no doubts about the Lower Three Grades.

As the Ninth Grade Martial Arts, the Lower Three Grades serve as the foundation, the basis...

Thus creating a Cultivation Technique with the 'True Martial attribute' was almost a certainty, ensuring no residual Panwu poisons.

'Besides... in today's era, the world is limited. Even if there is residual Panwu poison, it doesn't matter; it can just be used to patch up any deficiencies.'

In other words, Xun Heihu was lucky enough to be the guinea pig.

Uh... or maybe it should be called a little black rat?

"Recently悟得出来?"

Xun Heihu bowed solemnly, "Please, elder, teach me."

He thought it through clearly. This elder from the True Martial Talisman is undoubtedly an extraordinary existence!

Even if it's just to assist in learning 'Ancient Martial,' it would be enough for him to rival Upper Three Grade Grandmaster Martial Artists in the future.

The manual given now, even if newly created, is certainly of the Supreme Divine Skill level!

"The snake and turtle are entwined, and this is True Martial... The Martial Arts I created is called 'Turtle Breath Technique,' which is a method of operating Inner Strength, its effect? It can quickly accumulate Inner Strength, comprehend Fetal Breath... and also hide one's strength."

Fang Xing began to explain the True Martial cultivation technique he created: "This Inner Strength technique only goes up to the Fourth Grade. As for beyond the Fourth Grade... I haven't created it yet. Therefore, cultivating it carries risks."

"Nonetheless, it's still much better than the 'Crane Luring Strength'... That technique might very well be a secret transmission of Tianyang Sect; using it rashly is courting death."

Xun Heihu adapted quickly: "This 'Turtle Breath Technique,' certainly won't have these problems."

"Indeed, except, the 'World's Most Ancient Martial' you learned has quite the issue."

Fang Xing said, "Although the Da Xia has long perished, if someone recognizes the twelve forms' uniqueness, they might infer you've cultivated the Martial Arts of the Royal Family of the Great Xia Dynasty... I don't know if any remnants of Da Xia exist after all this time, or if anyone is still searching for the 'True Martial Talisman'..."

Xun Heihu clenched his fists, and a sense of urgency suddenly arose in his heart.

...

The next day.

Old Xun Six, no one knew how he persuaded Black Tiger's mother, but the couple packed some luggage, led a donkey, and set off with Xun Heihu.

"Old Six... where are you heading?"

Along the way, many people curiously asked.

"Black Tiger has achieved something, we're going to the city to enjoy life," Old Xun Six replied with a chuckle.

"You're truly blessed!"

"Of course, Black Tiger has become a Martial Artist master."

The villagers offered their congratulations with envy...

And Xun Heihu looked back at the small village where he grew up one last time: 'After this departure, who knows when I will return...'
