33: Chapter 33 Martial Arts Learning, Someone Save Me
Having harvested over thirty Mortal Rank medicinal herbs, more than ten Mortal Rank metals, and one Yellow Rank metal, Chi Anlin was overjoyed.
He did not know the prices in this world, but these medicinal herbs were definitely valuable, and the metals could be fed to the Ant Soldiers to increase their strength.
As for the human skeleton, it only carried a martial technique manual and a long saber. Although it was a bit ominous, Chi Anlin still accepted them.
The long saber was only forged from ordinary metal. Whoever could be taken care of by a troop of monkeys could not have been a high-level cultivator, but these were exactly what Chi Anlin urgently needed, so it was perfect.
After having the Ant Soldiers bury the skeleton, Chi Anlin mounted Xiao Yue and prepared to head back.
The territory of the Fruit Wine Monkey troop had been taken over by him. This territory was mostly fruit trees, including many Mortal Rank fruit trees. Once the Ant Soldiers could fly, he could produce some Ant Soldiers of the mortal rank first stage to harvest these fruits.
The underground mineral resources were also extremely rich. The Fruit Wine Monkeys had not reached the level of digging three feet deep, so it was a bargain for Chi Anlin.
Returning to the cave, Chi Anlin quickly walked to the side of the Queen Ant and opened the Queen Ant's gene panel.
"Fusion with Chinese Tiger Beetle gene."
[Fusion started, remaining time: 10 hours.]
Having fifty thousand blood energy deducted all at once made Chi Anlin's heart ache so much he wanted to vomit blood; the blood energy he had just obtained was gone.
Adding the remaining blood energy from before, Chi Anlin currently had nearly sixty thousand blood energy. He thought about it, gritted his teeth, and directly upgraded the Queen Ant's production skill.
[Upgrade production skill, consumes 50,000 points of blood energy]
Back to square one in an instant.
With less than ten thousand blood energy remaining, Chi Anlin sighed. After ordering the remaining Ant Soldiers to continue hunting demonic beasts, he entered the Blood Energy Space.
All the blood energy obtained this time was invested into the Queen Ant. After these ten hours, the Queen Ant's production speed and the strength of the Ant Soldiers would see an explosive period, and he would also be able to harvest more blood energy.
"The blood energy has not disappeared; it has just changed the way it stays by my side..." Chi Anlin comforted himself.
After learning the "Tiger Edge Fist", he would go to fight in the "arena match". This time he had brought a saber, so he should be able to beat a Demonic Shade of the mortal rank third stage.
He opened the martial technique teaching function. On that huge panel, there was only one martial technique teaching: "Tiger Edge Fist".
This martial technique teaching thing was not something he could learn directly after just touching a martial technique. Chi Anlin had just tried it; only when he had roughly flipped through a book would the martial technique appear on the teaching panel.
Originally, he had thought that since he had the martial technique teaching function, he might as well go to those martial technique malls and touch a few, obtaining a large amount of martial techniques...
Now the dream was shattered.
He clicked on "Tiger Edge Fist", and several options appeared in front of him again.
Introductory Teaching: 100 blood energy / Proficient Teaching: 300 blood energy / Mastery Teaching: 700 blood energy / Minor Achievement Teaching: 1500 blood energy / Major Achievement Teaching: 5000 blood energy / Peak Teaching: 10000 blood energy
Good heavens, the further you go, the more expensive it gets.
Chi Anlin rubbed his chin. Did the teaching levels here mean teaching him to reach that level, or did it mean being taught by someone who had mastered that level of proficiency?
He did not quite understand.
He did not have much blood energy now, so there was no need to waste it. Chi Anlin chose the Mastery Teaching.
"Ding, teaching started. Please, host, get ready."
A human figure appeared in front of Chi Anlin. He was dressed neatly, his eyebrows like sword blades, his face tense, and he was incomparably dignified.
"Fist techniques emphasize conciseness and compactness. When using the Tiger Edge Fist to kill enemies, the use of leg techniques must be cautious. When lifting your leg, three parts should be fake, and do not lift your leg without contact..."
The figure demonstrated to Chi Anlin while speaking, and Chi Anlin did not show any carelessness, seriously observing this set of fist techniques.
The "Tiger Edge Fist" was fierce and sharp, strong and powerful, like an angry tiger leaving the forest; it was a fist technique for killing.
This person demonstrated the Tiger Edge Fist completely several times, and Chi Anlin was mesmerized as he watched, unable to help but start imitating the man's movements.
When he felt that he had mastered a portion of the "Tiger Edge Fist", the figure moved again, attacking Chi Anlin.
Chi Anlin was startled, but then remembered that this was within the Blood Energy Space, so it must be feeding him moves. He let out a low roar and used the "Tiger Edge Fist" to counterattack.
His legs slightly bent, he threw a punch. The person lowered his body, raised a hand to block Chi Anlin's punch, and then his other hand turned into a claw, reaching for Chi Anlin's heart.
After a burst of pain in his chest, it instantly recovered. Chi Anlin retreated a few steps, subconsciously looking at his chest; there were no injuries.
The figure attacked again. Chi Anlin raised his leg to kick, but it was easily dodged by the figure. The next second, pain came from his knee, and blood splattered the ground.
"Hiss," Chi Anlin gasped, falling backward.
Two seconds later, Chi Anlin sprang up again, only to find his left lower leg on the ground.
Looking down, his leg was still there; the Blood Energy Space had restored it for him again.
Was this intended to train him to Mastery in one go?
A flash of joy crossed Chi Anlin's eyes. 700 blood energy for unlimited recovery—it was worth it!
As for the pain? In his past life, he had continued to play soccer for half an hour after fracturing his toe and had even reset his own dislocated joints. Although these pains were fatal, they were not enough to make him lose his fighting spirit.
A little pain was not worth mentioning.
Three hours later, Chi Anlin lay powerlessly on the ground, hot tears sliding slowly down his cheeks.
Within these three hours, his throat had been torn open, his eyeballs had been gouged out, and his limbs had been broken. One could say that even the ten great tortures of the Qing Dynasty were nothing compared to this.
But fortunately, it was all over. Under the alternation of life and death, his "Tiger Edge Fist" had successfully transformed into the Mastery realm.
Once the martial technique teaching started, it could not be stopped. He had thought about using other moves to defeat the figure, but it turned out he was too naive. As soon as he used other moves, the figure would instantly kill him—the unreasonable kind of kill.
Therefore, only by learning the Tiger Edge Fist could he end this torture.
Fortunately, he did not have enough blood energy to choose Peak Teaching; otherwise, he definitely would not have been able to come out for several days, and he would have had to die at least a hundred times.
Just these three hours of the Mastery realm made him question life.
No destruction, no construction!
Chi Anlin did a carp leap and jumped straight up. After suffering so much, it was time to find someone to vent on!
Having learned the "Tiger Edge Fist", Chi Anlin felt that he had become an expert. Although he could not beat the figure from the martial technique teaching, bullying the small Demonic Shade in the combat simulation was more than enough.
"I should be able to completely slaughter a Demonic Shade of the Mortal Grade Second Stage, without getting injured."
Chi Anlin roughly compared it. This teaching not only let him learn the "Tiger Edge Fist" but also let him learn many combat techniques.
It was precisely because he was completely clueless before that after experiencing so many life-and-death situations, he barely reached the Mastery realm in three hours.
"Combat simulation, keywords: Mortal Grade Second Stage, Demonic Shade."
"Simulation successful."
A murderous aura rushed toward his face. Chi Anlin raised an eyebrow and looked at the figure simulated in the distance.
[Name]: Demonic Shade
[Race]: ???
[Attribute]: Dark
[Level]: Mortal Grade Second Stage
[Introduction]: A genius from the ??? clan, strength suppressed to the Mortal Grade Second Stage, powerful combat strength. Good luck.
Chi Anlin: ???!
