While on Mount Hua, my mind is at peace!

Chapter 12 Fighting the Chinese Warriors

Yue Feng suppressed his excitement and took stock of the martial arts he knew:

[Huashan Qigong: Complete]

[Huashan Lightness Skill: Mastery]

[Huashan Swordplay: Minor Success]

[Five Mountains Sword Sect's Ultimate Technique: Mastery]

[The Ten Elders of the Demonic Cult's Ultimate Technique: Mastery]

【Grasshopper: Perfect】

[Golden Bell Cover: Minor Success]

If categorized by martial arts type, Huashan Qigong and Golden Bell Cover are both internal energy cultivation techniques, although the latter combines internal and external cultivation; Huashan Lightness Skill and Grass-Walking Skill are both lightness skills; Huashan Swordplay and the Five Mountains Sword Sect's ultimate techniques are both swordplay techniques. The ultimate techniques of the Ten Elders of the Demonic Sect are diverse and difficult to classify, so we will ignore them for now. In this way, Yue Feng would have three sets of martial arts that could be combined.

"I wonder how expensive the fusion will be? I only have 50 access points left, and I can't afford to spend them."

After careful consideration, Yue Feng felt that internal strength was the most important thing. The Golden Bell Shield was the highest level martial art he currently knew, and it was also a life-saving skill. If he could combine it with Huashan Qi Gong, the benefits should be quite good.

He made up his mind, selected Huashan Qigong and Golden Bell Cover with his thoughts, and then clicked on a newly appeared "Fusion" button on the panel.

[System check in progress...]

[The selected martial arts techniques can be fused, requiring 10 points. Fuse now?]

Ten access points? A piece of cake. Yue Feng chose "yes" without hesitation.

[Beginning to integrate "Huashan Qigong" and "Golden Bell Cover"...]

[Fusion complete. Congratulations on obtaining the new martial art: Fusion - Giant Spirit Golden Body.]

A faint light flashed, and the entries for "Huashan Qigong" and "Golden Bell Cover" disappeared from Yue Feng's panel, replaced by a completely new entry:

【One Fusion - Giant Spirit Golden Body: Introduction】

At the same time, Yue Feng's internal energy suddenly increased several times over, and its nature also underwent a fundamental change, combining the resilience of Huashan Qigong with the solidity of the Golden Bell Shield. This was only the Giant Spirit Golden Body at the entry level.

In other words, the Giant Spirit Golden Body at the entry level not only surpasses the Huashan Qi Gong at the perfect level and the Golden Bell Cover at the minor completion level, but also surpasses their combined strength!

All of this only cost Yue Feng 10 access points, just 10!

Yue Feng glanced at the remaining 40 access points and smiled contemptuously.

Deep blue! Merge thoroughly!

[Beginning to integrate "Huashan Lightness Skill" and "Grass-Walking Flying"...]

[Fusion complete. Congratulations on obtaining the new martial art: Fusion: Cloud Platform Flight.]

[Beginning to integrate the "Huashan Swordplay" and the "Five Mountains Sword Sects' Ultimate Techniques"...]

[Fusion complete. Congratulations on obtaining the new martial art: Fusion: Sky-Piercing Sword.]

After the fusion was complete, Yue Feng checked the panel again:

[Remaining Access Points: 30]

[The Ten Elders of the Demonic Cult's Ultimate Technique: Mastery]

【One Fusion - Giant Spirit Golden Body: Introduction】

【Yi Rong · Yuntai Flying Crossing: Minor Success】

【One Fusion: Sky-Piercing Sword - Beginner】

Yue Feng performed three fusions in total. The first one cost 10 points, while the next two only cost 5 points each, leaving him with 30 points. Compared to directly adding points, martial arts fusion is extremely cost-effective.

Yue Feng turned off the control panel, wondering why Deng Jun hadn't returned from buying food yet, when he suddenly heard footsteps coming from far away outside the courtyard. He was slightly startled, thinking, "How can I hear them so far? Could it be that I'm hallucinating from too much stress lately?"

The footsteps grew closer, clearly not a hallucination. Yue Feng then realized that it was because his internal energy cultivation had improved, which naturally enhanced his sensory abilities.

"Amitabha Buddha—Mr. Yue, may I have a bowl of water to drink?"

A middle-aged man's voice pierced through several doors and reached Yue Feng's ears. Yue Feng's heart skipped a beat, knowing that the visitor was not friendly, but he still got up, went out of the house, opened the courtyard gate, and bowed to the burly monk standing outside, saying, "Master, please come in."

The monk returned the greeting and followed Yue Feng into the room, where he sat down at the table. Yue Feng poured him a bowl of tea, which he accepted with both hands but placed on the table, saying calmly:

"How can you be worthy of the title 'Master'? Benefactor Yue is the real master of deception, not only fooling Abbot Yu in Putian but also causing chaos and turmoil here. I wonder what your father, Mr. Yue, would think if he knew?"

Yue Feng poured himself a bowl of tea, took a sip, and asked with a smile, "May I ask your Dharma name, Master?"

The monk rolled his eyes, his gaze sharpening: "Southern Shaolin, Hua Yong! Do not call me 'Master' anymore, just call me by my Dharma name."

"Very well, Master Hua Yong. You've come to see me to help the Qingcheng Sect get revenge?"

Hua Yong took a deep breath, calming his anger, and said coldly, "No matter how bad my Southern Shaolin Temple is, it will not be like Wangfu Temple, trying to curry favor with the Qingcheng Sect. I came to see you for two things."

"First, I'll beat you up to vent my anger for my junior brother Hua Hui, and to make sure you never dare to impersonate a monk again; second, I'll retrieve the manual of the Golden Bell Cover. It was a gift from the Qingcheng Sect to our temple. Although our temple doesn't intend to keep it, we will never allow it to be stolen by you in such a despicable way."

Yue Feng said decisively, "The first one is easy, just do it. The second one is more troublesome, because I've already burned that manual."

"What!" Hua Yong was furious and reached out to grab Yue Feng's wrist. His grab was a superior Buddhist martial art from the Southern Shaolin Temple, capable of breaking even a tiger's wrist with a single strike, let alone a human's.

When Hua Yong set off from the Southern Shaolin Temple, Abbot Haiku repeatedly instructed him to be tolerant of Yue Feng out of respect for "Gentleman Sword" Yue Feng. However, upon meeting him, Yue Feng turned out to be even more lazy than he had imagined. In a fit of anger, Hua Yong attacked without thinking.

Yue Feng remained unmoved, allowing Hua Yong to grasp his wrist. As soon as Hua Yong unleashed his power, he suddenly felt a surge of true energy ten times stronger than his own surge back, forcing all of Yue Feng's true energy back while simultaneously invading his meridians.

Shocked, Hua Yong quickly released his grip and channeled his inner energy into his arm to expel Yue Feng's energy. However, Yue Feng's inner energy had considerable staying power; once it invaded Hua Yong's meridians, it lingered and began to wreak havoc everywhere.

Hua Yong's kung fu skills all came from his hands. If Yue Feng's true energy damaged the meridians in his arms, what would become of him? Ignoring the fact that Yue Feng was right next to him, he immediately sat down cross-legged and used the superior Buddhist internal energy of the Southern Shaolin Temple. It took him about half an incense stick's time to expel Yue Feng's true energy completely.

Throughout this time, Yue Feng remained calmly seated, occasionally sipping tea and observing Hua Yong's demeanor. Only after Hua Yong finished his internal energy cultivation, stood up, and stared at Yue Feng in shock, did Yue Feng casually ask:

"So, can we have a proper talk now?"

Hua Yong sat back down with a complicated expression, picked up the teacup on the table, and drank the tea in one gulp.
