I practice martial arts by adding skill points in modern city

On the cliff, a figure in a Taoist robe sat upright, holding his head up to the sky with eyes closed, lips facing the moon.

His cheeks undulated, and his Adam's apple moved up and down, as if he were swallowing something.

Wang Longhu felt an invisible energy being swallowed down by him, playing with it in his mouth like a bead, a rather peculiar sensation.

With exertion, as he swallowed, the bead sank along with his throat, through the lungs, and into the stomach.

At that moment, Wang Longhu's belly began to swell wildly, soon ballooning like a woman eight months pregnant, remarkably strange.

Gurgle! Gurgle! Gurgle!

As Wang Longhu sank his energy into his stomach, a series of gurgling sounds echoed repeatedly, reminiscent of frog calls from a distance. An expert present would immediately notice this as the renowned Great Toad Qi of Wudang.

Referring to those who have trained in the Golden Toad Skill, when they channel energy into their abdomen, it sounds like a toad's call.

To reach this stage, one has achieved a small accomplishment in the Wudang Golden Toad Skill.

And when one can expel this energy from the throat, the Fishing Toad Force is considered proficiently mastered.

Buzzing! Buzzing! Buzzing!

Meanwhile, within Wang Longhu, not only did the Great Toad Qi toad's call resonate, but his muscles and bones trembled, echoing the roar of tigers and leopards. His chest hummed, everything naturally harmonized, stunningly mystical.

Were a commoner to witness this, some might mistakenly think that an Immortal had descended to earth, if slightly ignorant.

"With the triad of forces, perhaps I can start attempting the head's Dark Force acupressure." Wang Longhu thought to himself as he looked at the bright moon.

Now that all his body's and limbs' acupoints were open, a punch or weapon strike on Wang Longhu's body would immediately be repelled by the Dark Force within him.

The effect was akin to wearing reverse armor, yet Wang Longhu's body still had weaknesses.

Those were his groin and head, neither had yet achieved Dark Force acupressure, becoming his body's vulnerabilities.

If attacked by an enemy, he would still suffer serious injury.

Only by reaching Huajin could his entire body conceal Dark Force in its acupressure, achieving true invulnerability to blades and fists alike.

Under the triad reinforcement of Bagua Exhale, Xingyi Tiger Leopard Thunder, and Wudang Great Toad Qi, Wang Longhu began attempting to penetrate the head's meridians and acupoints.

The head was arguably the most fragile part of the human body; any damage to its meridians could result in irreparable consequences.

Therefore, when Wang Longhu trained at Wudang Mountain, he specifically sought secluded places to ensure he wasn't disturbed and absolute safety was maintained.

With the help of high Spiritual Power, Wang Longhu could feel Dark Force beginning to infiltrate the meridians of his brain, as if needles painstakingly carved pathways through clogged hair strands, allowing Dark Force to pass through them.

This process was excruciating and torturous, requiring total concentration to avoid any mishaps.

One wrong move could spell unimaginable consequences.

Just as Wang Longhu gathered his concentration, shadows suddenly emerged from the dense forest on the distant hillside.

"Is it him?"

"We've observed for days, it's definitely this person."

"Ohta Ichiro, being Liu Sheng's disciple, to kill Ohta Ichiro means this person's skills are not weak. Let's go all in, don't hold back."

"Hai!"

The figures whispered among themselves, then swiftly darted out from hiding, rushing toward where Wang Longhu was located.

Though at full sprint, no sound came from their footsteps, quieter than a falling pin.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

In just a few breaths, five figures had closed to within ten meters of Wang Longhu, a distance indistinguishable from face-to-face for expert martial artists.

The range of a guaranteed kill!

Wang Longhu, who had been fully focused on honing his brain's meridians, suddenly jolted, his high Spiritual Power already sensing the anomaly as those five approached.

Wang Longhu felt intense pain in his head, the Dark Force spread out in his brain, akin to countless sharp needles piercing his nerves, as painful as undergoing brain surgery without anesthesia.

Instantly, Wang Longhu's eyes were filled with blood, looked hideously like a demon emerging from hell back to the human world.

"Ah!!!"

A high-pitched shout of rage burst forth, the Great Toad Qi accumulated in Wang Longhu's abdomen lost control, instantly all expelled from his mouth, reverberating with a long howl.

Its power was such that even pebbles on the ground were bounced about.

Meanwhile, the five who planned the stealth attack had drawn close to Wang Longhu, wielding sharp blades aimed at his vital points.

Bang!

Just as the blades struck Wang Longhu's body, a powerful force erupted from within him, instantly repelling the attackers' weapons.

Wang Longhu's eyes were bloodshot; in a fury, he grabbed at the shoulder of the nearest person, his five fingers clenched with such force that they instantly became hard as steel spikes, stabbing ferociously into the person's body.

With a mighty swing, Wang Longhu's five fingers clamped onto the person's shoulder bone, forcibly tearing an entire arm away.

Instantly, blood splattered like a shocking flower rain in the moonlight.

"Ah!!!"

Let alone a normal person, not even a Martial Artist could endure the agony of a sudden arm tear. The assassin whose arm was torn screamed, convulsing as he collapsed onto the ground.

"Not good! This person has developed Inner Strength!"

Although the blade was repelled by Wang Longhu's Dark Force, his clothes and skin were not invulnerable; being struck left a bloody mark.
