Abundant Martial Arts Virtue

"Ahhhh——"

"Mmmmm——"

In the midst of the howling wind.

Two hysterical voices spread throughout the entire hill.

One saw a qilin and a "person" embracing each other, the qilin with its mouth open trying to bite the "person's" neck, but the "person" held the qilin's jaw tightly with one hand;

That "person," while holding off the qilin, also opened his mouth, hooked his neck to bite the qilin's neck, but was also firmly pressed down by the qilin's claws.

They clung to each other.

But they loved and killed each other.

Suddenly——

The wind direction changed!

Both sides immediately separated, simultaneously assuming an inverted stance.

——"The westerly wind calls, heads and feet upside down"!

"Hahahaha, damned qilin, worthy of being an auspicious beast with the ability to live stream to all beings, but, your end has come!"

The Night King laughed maniacally.

The qilin said with disdain, "You can't even bite me, and you want my life?"

"Exactly! I have finally realized that I shouldn't have come here at all," the Night King said.

"What do you mean?" the qilin asked.

"Wait until I've left, see who you'll embrace then," the Night King said.

The qilin's expression changed, drinking anxiously, "You want to leave? Don't even think about it!"

The Night King revealed a triumphant expression, laughing loudly:

"I am the Dark Night King with a sequence within me, I can directly teleport to other beings of my kind, whereas you, in this place devoid of any living creatures, once the north or south wind blows, you're definitely dead!"

The north and south winds need a hug!

——Without someone to embrace, one will truly die!

The qilin shouted:

"Don't go, quick, leave something behind——"

It tapped the ground with its claws, standing inverted as it flew towards the Night King.

But the Night King muttered quietly:

"Dark Night Shadow Shift."

Instantly, the Void fluctuated.

Too late!

In the last moment, the Night King saw the look of despair on the qilin's face.

The Void collapsed inward.

The Night King teleported away contentedly!

Only the qilin was left falling from mid-air, still standing upside down in the desolate wilderness, silently awaiting death.

——It wasn't actually waiting for death.

It waited a while longer, suddenly turned around, and, still inverted, hopped back into the house, pinching a magic gesture in its hand.

The scattered bricks flew up, plugging the large hole made by the Night King in the wall.

The qilin shook its body and transformed back into Wu Xiaode.

Quick!

The previous ritual was interrupted.

While the Wind Disaster hasn't stopped, while the Night King has already left, start over once again!

Wu Xiaode, with one hand inverted supporting him on the ground, reached for the "Wind-shielding Umbrella" and planted it in the ground beside him.

"With this umbrella open, the Wind Disaster will not be able to harm you at all, you can safely survive the Primordial Tribulation."

"——Shelter from the wind and rain, essential for fishing."

Good!

He stood up from the ground, stretching his body.

The foolish Night King.

It thought I needed its embrace to survive?

I have the Wind-shielding Umbrella!

Wu Xiaode stretched out his hand, performing a water-conjuring spell.

Water appeared out of nowhere, surging towards him, quickly washing his body.

Swish swash, swish swash!

Soon, the Book of the Dead indicated that the next step could be taken.

Bathing success!

Within the range covered by the umbrella, not a hint of wind blew.

Wu Xiaode then picked out some precious plants from the Holy Treasure Ring to use as incense.

Done!

Next was prayer.

He put his hands together and said:

"Please no more accidents, please no more accidents, please no more accidents."

Important things must be said three times!

Prayer complete!

Now, bathing, incense burning, and praying were all completed.

Only meditation was left!

The more critical the moment, the more composed Wu Xiaode became.

He closed his eyes, forcing himself not to think about the Wind Disaster, gradually forgetting himself and the surroundings, entering the meditative state.

One breath.

Two breaths.

Three breaths.

Time flashed by.

Eventually, those ice crystal letters emerged again:

"You have entered meditation, maintain for one hour to complete this process."

Wu Xiaode sat unmoving.

Outside the wind howled, but he remained meditating inside the house.

The Golden Dog had long since jumped down from the Book of the Dead, constantly emitting waves of energy, spreading in all directions.

——It was vigilantly guarding Wu Xiaode!

About a quarter of an hour later.

The Golden Dog suddenly stood alert, bristling all over.

Ding!

A clear sound rang out.

The Void suddenly displayed a series of prompt runes:

"Congratulations."

"You have successfully survived the Wind Disaster."

"Your current life level has increased by 0.5."

"——None of your attributes have increased yet; they will all be raised at once when your life level reaches '1'."

"Your current increase of 0.5 life level will only grant you the following ability:"

"Standing in front of the other, as long as its level is lower than yours, you can kill it!"

This scene unfolded in every corner of the world.

A mysterious life form burst through the door of a town's room, killing the infant inside directly.

But it found that the infant's parents had already completed the upgrade.

In fact, there were over a dozen humans in the room celebrating the successful overcoming of the calamity!

The mysterious life form immediately wanted to run.

——But there was no way out!

All people's blood is the same, and so is the harm they suffer.

Strength, agility, reaction—all the same!

The angry crowd directly seized it and beat it to death!

Ordinary people had killed the strange being!

This scene played out in countless different places.

As for Wu Xiaode—

He was still in a meditative state, but he faintly sensed something was amiss.

Without even opening his eyes, he lay straight on the ground, transforming into the appearance of Arian, turning over to lie on his side, supporting his head with his hand.

Suddenly, a line of ice crystal letters appeared:

"You have activated the Pangu Primordial Sequence · Initial Position."

"Lie Flat (Level 1) starts running!"

Wu Xiaode sat up again.

Arian, like an empty shell, continued to lie on the ground.

Wu Xiaode walked away with his eyes closed.

He sat down in a corner of the room.

——Anyway, the sequence had been activated.

Now he had to take advantage of the last bit of time to complete the meditation.

Wu Xiaode quietly waited.

Time passed.

Suddenly.

A message emerged in the hearts of all beings:

"The Wind Disaster has ended."

"Rest for 5 minutes, then immediately enter the next calamity:

"Earth Tribulation!"

——5 minutes!

Wu Xiaode closed his eyes to meditate, continuing the prescribed action.

The next second.

The Void flashed.

A gloomy man with a stubbly face appeared in the room.

"Qilin... corpses..."

He muttered softly, looking around, but he only saw Arian lying on the ground.

There were no Qilin corpses.

The gloomy man thought for a moment, took two steps forward, and said to Arian:

"I am a commander under the Dark Night King, Gao Sai."

"Who are you?"

"Have you seen a Qilin?"

Arian was a manifestation of the sequence and wouldn't do anything except lie flat, so he lay there like a mannequin, not saying a word.

——After the sequence was activated, all beings could only see the manifestation lying flat, unable to see the real Wu Xiaode.

Wu Xiaode sat in the corner, facing the wall, his eyes closed, not moving an inch.

Only 7 minutes left!

He must not be interrupted!

"Who exactly are you? Not going to talk? Although I am human now, killing you would be a piece of cake."

Gao Sai said, stepping closer to Arian.

Arian continued to lie still.

"Human?" Gao Sai asked.

Arian didn't answer.

"Mysterious life?" Gao Sai asked again.

Arian still didn't move or speak.

"Playing god!" Gao Sai sneered, "I refrained from attacking earlier for fear of mistakenly injuring one of our own, but even if you were one of us, you should not ignore the Night King's dignity and commands."

"Die!"

He threw a full-force punch at Arian.

Thud!

In the dull impact, Arian was solidly struck, his body flying off before falling back to a distance.

——Unharmed.

Gao Sai showed a look of surprise.

Even the Night King himself would have been injured by such a punch!

Why was this person unscathed?

Wait a minute!

Could it be a dummy?

Gao Sai bent down, grabbed Arian, and lifted him up.

However, the next second—

Arian disappeared from his grip and went straight back to lying flat on the floor.

Gao Sai couldn't figure out how it had gotten out of his grasp!

"...No good, there's something wrong here; I must report this immediately."

After Gao Sai spoke, he vanished into the Void.

Wu Xiaode remained in deep contemplation against the wall.

Time crawled by at an excruciatingly slow pace.

Finally.

The seven minutes were up.

"What's the problem here?"

The voice of the Night King sounded.

It descended from the Void, followed by a myriad of subordinates.

It was too late!

The Night King looked at Arian lying on the ground, pondering:

"This thing seems a bit tricky... Everyone be careful."

All were as if facing a great enemy.

Just as the Night King spoke, Wu Xiaode also received the prompt rune he had been waiting for:

"You have completed the preliminary program for your boxing skill."

"Please spend one billion aspiration points to activate this boxing skill's power and merge it with your own."

One billion aspiration points!

Where would he steal one billion aspiration points from!

Just as Wu Xiaode felt hopeless, he saw several more lines of ice crystal letters appear:

"You have saved countless beings from the Wind Disaster."

"Through that live broadcast, you have earned the survival wishes of the beings, with every surviving being wishing you well today."

"Your aspiration points are approximately two billion."

"Spend one billion."

"You can begin to comprehend the Hongmeng Fist Skill: Tai Chu."

"Would you like to comprehend it now?"

"Yes!" Wu Xiaode said.

A searing, invisible force rushed up his spine, bursting into the back of his skull, reaching all the way to the crown of his head.

Wu Xiaode shivered pleasurably.

"You are comprehending the boxing skill."

"Please wait."
