Chapter 197: 【116】No.1 under Huajin_2
[Potential Points: 2.25]
No one knows how long passed, but under Xuanzhen the Daoist's guidance, Wang Longhu finally saw the Wudang Golden Toad Skill appear on the panel, signaling his official entry.
As long as he spends some more time practicing the Wudang Golden Toad Skill, achieving Dark Force point attacks at the head and groin, Wang Longhu will fully realize Huajin, proving Grandmaster strength.
Seeing how he had accumulated a good amount of potential points through eating and martial arts skill upgrades during his journey to Wudang, Wang Longhu went ahead and distributed the surplus potential points entirely to his physical attributes.
His strength instantly rose from 4.10 to 5.0, once again reaching the body's limit.
The constitution followed closely, also reaching the physical limit of 5.0.
The remaining 0.6 potential points were used to increase the Spirit to 3.79 points.
At this moment, Wang Longhu's body functions reached the peak of this stage, truly assessing power would be impossible without giving full effort.
One must know that human body functions have limits, and only through medication, exercise, or biological modification can those limits be pushed further.
Earlier Wang Longhu had already speculated that because a Dark Force Martial Artist tempers the body with Dark Force, the achievable constitution and strength should be at 4.0.
To break through the human limit further, one must practice Huajin.
Yet Wang Longhu, due to the effect of a perfected foundation in fitness, directly broke the 4.0 limit in constitution, strength, and Spirit, reaching 5.0.
This is a bodily barrier other Dark Force Martial Artists cannot understand, making Wang Longhu truly the top under Huajin.
No matter how comprehensive a Grand Martial Artist practices Dark Force point attacks, as long as they haven't attained Huajin, they'll never be Wang Longhu's match.
This is the overwhelming power of strength, constitution, and bodily functions.
"Hmm?" Xuanzhen looked at Wang Longhu and suddenly exclaimed, not knowing why he felt that during this brief moment, the young man before him seemed to have undergone some kind of transformation.
Even though this change was very subtle, it was still perceptible to Xuanzhen.
For a Martial Artist, becoming stronger through practice isn't an overnight affair; it's about perseverance and achieving a level naturally.
Yet Wang Longhu's change at the moment did not conform to this idea in any way.
"Thank you both Daoists for your martial arts kindness, and if Wudang encounters any troubles in the future that are within my ability, I will surely help," Wang Longhu stood up and thanked Xuanzhen and Tianwu with respect.
Now that he had the Fishing Toad Force, as long as he combined three approaches, he could achieve Huajin in the most difficult manner and his future strength would be unimaginable.
"If you're not in a hurry, you can stay in Wudang for a while; we have a good environment for practicing martial arts, and if you encounter any issues with the Golden Toad Skill, you could speak with Tianwu," Xuanzhen offered.
"Thank you, Daoist."
On the way to Wudang, Wang Longhu never imagined that the process of learning the Fishing Toad Force would be so easy.
In his imagination, he would surely encounter outright refusals and excuses from the Wudang Daoists, but who would have thought, without even meeting Daoist Tianle, the matter was already settled.
It could be said to be a win-win situation.
Yet Wang Longhu didn't realize that the ease with which he learned the Fishing Toad Force was entirely due to his strength and talent.
If he didn't have the capability to help Wudang defeat the Japanese Martial Arts exchange group, or if he wasn't naturally gifted as a youthful Dark Force Martial Artist, Tianwu and Xuanzhen wouldn't even look at him and certainly wouldn't decide to impart the Wudang Golden Toad Skill.
These are all conditions for success.
…
Since the first martial arts exchange event between two countries started, it had always been about friendship through competition, with never an incident of malice.
This time, Ohta Ichiro was killed during a match by Wang Longhu with the Baji Fist, as an emergency situation, the matter was immediately relayed back by the martial artists of the Japanese Martial Arts exchange group to Japan Island.
Japan Island, Osaka.
Amidst the bustling urban circle, high-rises are everywhere, with neon lights bright as daylight, creating a dreamy atmosphere.
Among them, one building stands out, drawing every passerby's eye.
It's a building over fifty stories high, its outside covered with transparent glass reflecting light from every direction.
However, at the middle section of the building, there are three floors built with wood, showcasing the aesthetics of traditional Chinese architecture.
Pink cherry blossom trees sprout from these floors, demonstrating a stunning bloom of cherry blossoms at a high altitude, several dozen meters off the ground.
"Hah!"
Behind the transparent floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the bustling streets below, a young man in protective gear steps forward with all his strength, slashing swiftly with a wooden sword.
On the sofa beside him lies an elderly man with long hair draping over his shoulders, wearing a kimono.
Right now, he is enjoying the embrace of two young, beautiful girls and the fruit they offer.
"Master Yagyu! It's bad, Ohta-san..."
At this moment, the door to the room was pushed open from outside, and a middle-aged man, dressed as a servant, hurriedly ran in.
Recognizing the disturbance, the long-haired elder felt annoyed and frowned, "What is it that you're so panicked about?"
Sitting up, his body instantly emitted a series of cracks like bursting beans in a hot pan, quite horrifying, and despite wearing a loose kimono, one could immediately perceive his strong and bulky physique, unusually robust for his age.
"Master Yagyu, Ohta-san is dead, killed at Wudang."
The servant knelt before the elder, stammering as he relayed the news he carried.
Crash!
The teacup in the elder's hand instantly fell to the ground, spilling tea everywhere.
At the same time, the beautiful young woman he was holding let out a cry, unable to withstand his grip.
"What are you screaming for!" The elder's anger found release as he slapped the girl's face.
The once white and lovely face of the girl turned red and swollen instantly, bearing a distinct handprint.
"Ichiro, Ichiro is dead? How can that be! How can he die, just by participating in a martial arts exchange!"
The long-haired elder grasped the servant's shoulder and forcibly lifted him entirely off the ground.
The fact that he could single-handedly lift an adult man weighing over 150 pounds shows the elder's incredible strength.
"Yamamoto, who led the team, said Ohta-san was killed by a daoist in Wudang, but that daoist was not originally arranged by Wudang for the match, he joined temporarily," the servant replied tremblingly.
The long-haired elder's status on Japan Island is supremely high, killing a servant would be akin to crushing an ant.
Even the world wouldn't notice this ant's disappearance.
Yagyu Ito, now a nominal advisor to the Japan Island Ancient Martial Arts Association, is actually a commercial giant controlling a third of Osaka City's transport, supermarkets, and finance.
Furthermore, he is a member of the overseas Martial Artist force, Heaven and Earth Alliance, though his position is unclear.
"Wudang... Daoist..." The elder's face turned cold, his eyes flaring with murderous intent.
If anyone familiar with the long-haired elder were present, they would see an unavoidable major underground action looming.
"Have Yamamoto verify the daoist's details for me within a day!"
The whole room resonated with Yagyu Ito's enraged low roar, and not far away, the young man practicing swordsmanship stopped his actions and thoughtfully murmured to himself, "Senior Ohta is actually dead... this is interesting."
Soon, an inexplicable bounty order appeared in the underground world of Japan Island.
No one knew who issued this bounty order, but upon seeing the mountain and white cloud emblem on it, the informed understood it immediately.
This bounty order is quite simple – just to go to that eastern country and assassinate one person, but the bounty is as high as 200 million yen.
Converted, it's approximately 10 million RM currency, quite a substantial reward even on the black market.
In an instant, the underground of Japan Island stirred, and many martial artists, assassins, and ninjas quietly took the order, exhibiting their abilities as they embarked on the journey to the eastern great nation.
There was no name or target description on the bounty order, only a rough sketch.
The person drawn was Wang Longhu.
