103: Chapter 103 The Goodwill of the Xingyi School: A Gift of "A Detailed Explanation of Xingyi Quan"

A Book-Gifting Invitation in the Morning Light

The morning mist at the Xingyi Sect branch had not yet dispersed when Li Xuantong stood in the center of the martial arts arena, holding a purple sandalwood box.

The surface of the wooden box was engraved with flowing patterns of "Five Elements Energy", and the characters "Xingyi" on the bronze lock glowed with a light brown hue, resonating with the surrounding School flags.

Eight-colored Qi Energy formed a rotating halo around the box—the global live broadcast camera zoomed in, clearly capturing the Qi Energy seeping from the cracks of the wooden box, faintly echoing the dark golden light of Chen Wu's peace lock.

"Chen kid, during yesterday's School livestream, you allowed the world to see the hope of ancient martial arts," Li Xuantong's voice carried a gentle ripple of Qi Energy.

He gently stroked the wooden box, his fingertips tracing the patterns. "This is the Xingyi Sect's treasured heirloom, the 'Xingyi Fist Essence Manual'. Inside, not only are there the complete diagrams of the 'Five Elements Combined Energy', but also the 'Yijin Fusion Method' annotated by your Chen Wus Great-grandfather back in the day. Today, the Xingyi Sect has decided to officially gift it to you."

The Elders of the eight major Schools in the martial arts arena nodded in unison.

Zhao Lie's Baji Energy, Su Chen's Mystic Water Energy, and other Qi Energies intertwined in the air to form a "Recognition" totem.

The screen was instantly flooded with golden "Xingyi is magnanimous" comments, and the number of online viewers exceeded 36 billion.

Lin Mo's tactical tablet suddenly displayed a System prompt: "Triggered Main Quest 'Secret Manual Legacy'—Receive the 'Xingyi Fist Essence Manual', decipher the 'Yijin Fusion Method' within. Quest Reward: 1.2 million Legacy Points + upgraded version of the Xingyi Sect's 'Five Elements Source Pearl', unlock the Five Elements decryption module for the underground palace's 'Legacy Formation'."

The youth's fingertips flew across the virtual keyboard, sweat dripping from his forehead onto the touchpad.

"The Technical Department detected a 'Qi Energy Owner Recognition' device in the wooden box. Only your Yijin Energy can open it! Furthermore, the Secret Manual hides 'Dynamic Diagrams' that require activation with Five Elements Energy to display the full content!"

The tablet suddenly displayed a 3D model of the wooden box.

The internal Qi Energy structure of the bronze lock perfectly matched Chen Wu's peace lock; it was a "Dual-Pulse Lock" designed three hundred years ago by the Xingyi Sect and the Tomb Guardian.

Grandpa Wang's dry tobacco pipe tapped out a dull sound at the edge of the martial arts arena.

The old man pulled out the "Xingyi Secret Manual Record" left by his grandfather.

Tucked between the yellowed pages was a photo from 1953—Chen Wus Great-grandfather and Master Li Xuan were reading the "Xingyi Fist Essence Manual" together in the Tomb Guardian's study.

Their fingertips were both pressed onto the "Five Elements Combined Energy" diagram, with Qi Energy flowing between the pages.

"Your Chen Wus Great-grandfather wanted to borrow this Secret Manual back then to fuse Yijin Energy with Xingyi Fist," he pointed the pipe bowl at the cover of the Secret Manual in the photo.

"Unfortunately, the Xingyi Sect had rules back then that their treasured heirloom could not be passed to outsiders. Today, Elder Li has broken the rules; he truly treats you as one of his own!"

Suddenly, a Bronze Token of the Xingyi Sect flew out of the camphor wood chest.

The characters "Transmitting Power" were engraved on it.

Light brown Qi Energy spread along the token, tracing the trajectory of "Unlocking Energy" on Chen Wu's palm.

In the Flower Girl's basket, the light brown petals of the inheritance grass suddenly glowed with golden light.

Dewdrops rolled on the leaves, reflecting the outline of the Secret Manual inside the wooden box—tucked between the pages was a withered jujube leaf, the token of the Xingyi Sect's "Transmitting Power", which only the Sect Head or Grand Elder could use.

The little girl mixed the juices of tiger bone grass and golden thread lotus.

When the golden-brown "Energy Activation Dew" dripped onto the leaves, the petals suddenly unfolded towards the direction of the wooden box.

"Elder Zhou said this is an 'Owner Recognition Catalyst'," she lightly tapped the dewdrop with her fingertip.

"It can make your Yijin Energy resonate quickly with the bronze lock, just like adding lubricant to a key!"

The Section Chief of the Special Incident Response Department walked over, holding a holographic device.

The screen displayed the history of the "Xingyi Fist Essence Manual": "This Secret Manual was written in the Ming Dynasty and has been passed down through 12 generations of Sect Heads.

In 1938, it was stolen by the Qijue Sect, and it was your Chen Wus Great-grandfather who risked his life to take it back."

She suddenly aimed the device at the wooden box.

"The Technical Department will use holographic projection to simultaneously display the content of the Secret Manual on the live broadcast screen, letting global viewers witness the moment of Legacy together."

The tablet showed that Zhang Hao had already set up a table at the edge of the martial arts arena, covered with bright yellow silk, ready to receive the Secret Manual.

Love was holding a specially made "Qi Energy Protective Shield" to prevent Qi Energy from leaking and harming people when it was opened.

"The Qi Energy concentration of this Secret Manual is extremely high. Opening it might trigger a small-scale Qi Energy storm. Everyone, get ready!"

When Chen Wu's Yijin Energy was injected into the bronze lock following the "Unlocking Energy" trajectory, light golden streamers and light brown Qi Energy suddenly erupted.

The wooden box clicked open.

The "Xingyi Fist Essence Manual" inside glowed with a soft light.

The pages automatically turned to the "Five Elements Combined Energy" page.

Chen Wus Great-grandfather's annotations, written in cinnabar, formed a dialogue with Li Xuantong's handwriting in the margins—the live broadcast's comments instantly froze.

36 billion viewers held their breath simultaneously, watching this Secret Manual that spanned three hundred years reveal its Legacy charm in the morning light.

The Yijin Fusion Method in the Secret Manual

The pages of the "Xingyi Fist Essence Manual" slowly turned under the influence of Qi Energy, each page glowing with a light brown hue.

When it turned to the exclusive chapter on "Five Elements Combined Energy" and "Yijin Energy Fusion", Chen Wus Great-grandfather's cinnabar annotations suddenly lit up: "Five Elements Energy is the bone, Yijin Energy is the blood.

Only when bone and blood fuse can one achieve true Xingyi."

Light golden Qi Energy surged from the annotations, resonating with Chen Wu's Yijin Energy, forming a rotating two-colored vortex in the center of the martial arts arena—the slow-motion footage of the global live broadcast showed countless Qi Energy trajectories emerging in the vortex, containing both the "Five Elements" routes of Xingyi Fist and the "Spiral" patterns of Yijin Energy, perfectly intertwined.

"This is the 'Five Elements Yijin Fusion'!" Li Xuantong's voice was filled with excitement.

He pointed at the trajectories in the vortex. "Your Chen Wus Great-grandfather foresaw today's Fusion when he made the annotations back then!"

Light brown Xingyi Energy surged from his palm, converging with the Qi Energy in the vortex.

The trajectories suddenly became clear: the Fusion of Metal Energy and the "Sharp Energy" of Yijin Energy could increase penetration by 30%; the Fusion of Wood Energy and the "Soft Energy" of Yijin Energy could enhance entanglement force by 50%; the Fusion of Water Energy and the "Flowing Energy" of Yijin Energy could make the Qi Energy continuous and unending; the Fusion of Fire Energy and the "Explosive Energy" of Yijin Energy could instantly increase explosive power; the Fusion of Earth Energy and the "Stable Energy" of Yijin Energy could make the stance as steady as a rock.

The screen was suddenly flooded with golden comments of "So it can be fused like this!", British viewers spammed "I want to learn Five Elements Yijin Fusion", and Brazilian viewers spammed "This is true Kung Fu!", instantly dominating the screen.

Lin Mo's tablet suddenly displayed the "Fusion Deduction" result: "Chen Wu's Fusion rate between Yijin Energy and Five Elements Energy has reached 92%. It can unlock 12 types of Fusion Moves such as 'Five Elements Yijin Fist' and 'Five Elements Yijin Spear'."

The youth's fingertips danced on the virtual keyboard.

"System prompt: These Moves can correspond to different Five Elements nodes in the underground palace's 'Legacy Formation' and are the key to decrypting the Formation!"

The tablet showed that the Technical Department had used AI to reconstruct the actual combat effect of "Five Elements Yijin Fusion": the fused "Earth-Element Yijin Energy" could withstand an impact force of 1800 kilograms, an increase of 40% compared to before; the explosive power of the "Fire-Element Yijin Energy" could create a pit with a diameter of half a meter in a bluestone slab, with astonishing power.

Grandpa Wang's dry tobacco pipe tapped out a light rhythm at the edge of the table.

The old man pulled out the "Fusion Chapter" of the "Xingyi Secret Manual Record".

On the yellowed pages, Chen Wus Great-grandfather's experimental notes were recorded: "1954, attempted to fuse Metal Energy with Yijin Energy, failed 17 times.

On the 18th attempt, added 'Spiral Condensing Energy' at the Dantian, Success!"

The pipe bowl pointed at the sketch in the notes.

"Your Chen Wus Great-grandfather was stuck on 'Dantian Coordination' back then.

Today, with your foundation in Yijin Energy, you will definitely succeed on the first try!"

The Bronze Token in the camphor wood chest suddenly resonated with the Secret Manual.

Light brown Qi Energy spread along the token, tracing the trajectory of "Coordinating Energy" at Chen Wu's Dantian.

"Operate your Qi along this trajectory, and the Five Elements Energy and Yijin Energy will not conflict."

In the Flower Girl's basket, the golden-brown petals of the inheritance grass suddenly unfolded like pages of a book.

Dewdrops rolled on the leaves, reflecting the changes in Qi Energy within Chen Wu's body—when he operated his Qi according to the "Coordinating Energy" trajectory, the light brown Five Elements Energy and the dark golden Yijin Energy formed a rotating Taiji diagram at the Dantian.

There was no conflict at all; instead, they nourished each other.

The little girl sprinkled the "Energy Activation Dew" into the air.

The golden-brown light fused with Chen Wu's Qi Energy, forming a miniature Five Elements Formation around him.

"Elder Zhou said this is a 'Fusion Protective Shield'," she lightly tapped the dewdrop with her fingertip.

"It can prevent the Qi Energy from going berserk during Fusion, just like installing a safety valve for the Dantian!"

When Chen Wu's "Five Elements Yijin Fusion" was fully executed for the first time, light brown and dark gold Qi Energy erupted in the martial arts arena.

He punched the bronze tripod, with Earth-element Yijin Energy and Fire-element Yijin Energy acting simultaneously; not only did a clear fist print appear on the tripod's body, but it was also carried by the Qi Energy to rotate half a circle—the slow-motion shot on the global live broadcast showed that when the fist energy contacted the tripod, it first used Earth Energy to stabilize the lower stance, then used Fire Energy to unleash explosive impact, and finally used the spiral force of Yijin Energy to drive the tripod to rotate, perfectly demonstrating the miraculous utility of "Fusion Energy."

"It's a success!" Li Xuantong suddenly laughed out loud. He pulled an upgraded Five Elements Source Bead from his bosom. "This bead can help you stabilize Fusion Energy. In the underground palace's 'Legacy Formation,' it can also absorb the Five Elements Energy of successors from global Schools, enhancing your power!"

Teaching Fusion Energy on Live Broadcast

Just as the inheritance ceremony for "Xingyi Fist Essence" concluded, Li Xuantong suddenly beckoned to the live camera: "Since global viewers are watching, I will take this opportunity to teach everyone two basic Moves of 'Five Elements Yijin Fusion'."

He walked to Chen Wu's side, and the two stood side by side in the center of the martial arts arena. "The first Move, 'Earth-element Yijin Fist,' is suitable for beginners to build a foundation and can enhance lower stance stability."

Light brown Xingyi Energy and dark gold Yijin Energy intertwined in his palms. The breakdown of the Move was clear: feet apart at shoulder width, the Qi Energy sinks first to the Dantian, then travels down the legs into the ground, and finally erupts with the fist surface, while incorporating the spiral of Yijin Energy—on the global live broadcast screen, a holographic projection broke the movement down into 12 steps, with each step marking the flow path of the Qi Energy, making it easy for viewers to learn.

"Pay attention to keeping the Dantian steady," Chen Wu's voice carried ripples of Qi Energy. He practiced along with Li Xuantong, his movements perfectly synchronized with the old man's. "Do not rush to unleash the Yijin Energy; wait until the Earth Energy sinks to the soles of your feet, then let it rotate out along with the fist energy."

The live camera zoomed in, and one could clearly see the two people's Qi Energy forming the same trajectory on the ground, light brown and dark gold intertwined like two entangled ribbons of light.

Suddenly, the slogan "Practice along" flooded the comments section. A practice video uploaded by a British viewer showed that by practicing Qi according to the steps, he had actually cultivated three-tenths of the heaviness of Earth Energy; a Brazilian viewer showed off their "results"—being able to stand steadily on the grass without swaying—and the comment "Too useful!" received 200 million likes.

The second Move, "Water-element Yijin Palm," showed more clever force. A light blue Water Energy emerged from Li Xuantong's palm, fusing with Chen Wu's Yijin Energy, and his palm drew a smooth arc in the air: "This Move is suitable for deflecting force. When encountering an opponent with greater strength than yourself, use your palm surface to rotate along the opponent's force path, then guide it with Yijin Energy, and you can easily deflect it."

He suddenly had Zhang Hao attack his chest with Iron Arm Power; with a light lift and twist of his palm, Zhang Hao's 800-kilogram force was diverted to the side. "See that? It's not about resisting head-on, but following the momentum."

30 million viewers globally were practicing along simultaneously. Lin Mo's tablet showed that 10% of them successfully deflected light punches from people around them, and the comments section was full of messages like "Learned it" and "It's too magical."

The Section Chief of the Special Incident Response Department walked over holding a holographic report; the screen displayed real-time teaching data: "There are 120 million viewers globally practicing 'Five Elements Yijin Fusion' simultaneously, and 8 million of them have submitted practice videos."

She suddenly turned the report toward Li Xuantong and Chen Wu. "The Technical Department will screen excellent videos and include them in the global School teaching library, so everyone will be able to learn authentic Kung Fu by following the videos from now on!"

The tablet showed that Zhang Hao had already received 500,000 applications to learn "Earth-element Yijin Fist," and he said with a smile, "I never expected I could be a teacher too."

Love was invited to Europe to open a "Water-element Yijin Palm" training camp, and the former boxing champion excitedly stated, "I want to spread Fusion Energy Kung Fu all over Europe."

As the teaching reached its conclusion, the Elders of the Eight Great Schools in the martial arts arena suddenly stepped forward together.

Zhao Lie demonstrated "Baji Yijin Collapse," Su Chen demonstrated "Mystic Water Yijin Freeze," and Liang Yue demonstrated "Wing Chun Yijin Sticky."

The Fusion Energy Moves of the Eight Great Schools were presented one by one on the live broadcast—the global live broadcast screen suddenly switched to overseas branch venues: Xuanshui Pavilion successors in Australia practiced "Mystic Water Yijin Freeze," and Baji Sect successors in Africa practiced "Baji Yijin Collapse."

The Qi Energy of each branch venue resonated with the martial arts arena, like a ribbon of Fusion Energy spanning mountains and seas.

The comments section suddenly flooded with the uniform message "Fusion Energy Knows No Boundaries." Viewers of different skin colors and languages sent the same blessing in their respective scripts, and 38 billion messages formed a golden-brown river of light in the virtual space.

Foreshadowing of the Fusion Energy Legacy in the Underground Palace

As the book-gifting ceremony and teaching activities neared their end, "Xingyi Fist Essence" suddenly turned to the last page automatically.

There was no text on it, only a blank "Formation" character. Light brown Qi Energy surged out from the character, resonating with Chen Wu's peace lock and the Five Elements Source Bead, forming a miniature "Legacy Formation" in the center of the martial arts arena—Lin Mo's tablet suddenly popped up a System prompt: "'Secret Manual Legacy' mission completed, Rating: SSS, obtained 1.2 million Legacy Points, Xingyi Sect 'Five Elements Source Bead' upgraded version, unlocked Underground Palace 'Legacy Formation' Five Elements cracking module."

The young man's fingertips danced on the virtual keyboard, inputting the Fusion Energy data into the underground palace model. The System prompted: "After the Five Elements cracking module is activated, it can call upon the Five Elements Energy of successors from global Schools to crack the Five Elements nodes of the 'Legacy Formation'."

Grandpa Wang's dry tobacco pipe tapped out a final dull sound at the edge of the martial arts arena.

The old man flipped to the last page of the "Xingyi Secret Manual Record"; on the yellowed page, eight characters were written in cinnabar: "Break the Formation with Fusion Energy, the Legacy Continues Forever," with the joint signature of Chen Wus Great-grandfather and Master Li Xuan beside it.

"The Fusion Energy Formation-breaking that your Great-grandfather couldn't complete back then, today with 'Xingyi Fist Essence' and the support of global Schools, you will certainly succeed," the pipe bowl pointed at the signature.

"This Secret Manual is handed to you from now on; every page inside is the sincerity of the Xingyi Sect, and also the responsibility of the Tomb Guardian."

The Bronze Token, Five Elements Source Bead, and "Xingyi Fist Essence" in the camphor wood box suddenly merged into one. Light brown and dark gold Qi Energy spread along the items, condensing into a "Five Elements Fusion Energy" totem in Chen Wu's palm.

In the Flower Girl's basket, the golden-brown fruits of the inheritance grass suddenly split open, and countless tiny seeds carrying Fusion Energy Qi flew into the air, landing on the shoulders of every Martial Artist—Chen Wu's Yijin Energy gained a "Five Elements Fusion Energy" halo, Li Xuantong's Xingyi Energy could synchronize with the Fusion Energy of global successors, and Zhao Lie's Baji Energy could call upon Fusion Energy to unleash even stronger power.

The little girl sprinkled the last drop of "Qi-Opening Dew" onto the martial arts arena. The golden-brown light merged with the Fusion Energy totem, condensing into a miniature "Five Elements Node" model in Chen Wu's palm: "Elder Zhou said this is the 'Node Key'," she tapped the model lightly with her fingertip, "It can allow you to quickly locate the Five Elements nodes of the 'Legacy Formation' in the underground palace, just like installing a navigator for the Formation!"

A helicopter from the Special Incident Response Department hovered over the martial arts arena.

The Section Chief walked over holding a silver box containing a set of "Five Elements Fusion Energy Protective Gear," engraved with the Five Elements totem of the Xingyi Sect: "This was specially made by the Technical Department based on the characteristics of Fusion Energy," she handed the protective gear to Chen Wu. "It can enhance your resonance with the Fusion Energy of global School successors, allowing you to exert maximum power in the underground palace's 'Legacy Formation'."

The tablet showed that all preparations for the underground palace were ready. The Elders of the Eight Great Schools, Zhang Hao, and Love were all packed and ready to go. Tomorrow morning, they could head to the underground palace to crack the final "Legacy Formation" and obtain the full volume of the "Muscle Tendon Change Classic."

As moonlight washed over the Xingyi Sect branch, the "Five Elements Fusion Energy" totem in the martial arts arena resonated from afar with the Qi Energy in the direction of the underground palace.

Chen Wu suddenly understood that the Xingyi Sect's gifting of "Xingyi Fist Essence" was never just "a simple book gift," but "a relay of the Legacy"—true kindness is not giving material things, but sharing the true essence of Kung Fu; true inheritance is not guarding a Secret Manual, but letting the wisdom of Fusion Energy walk into the lives of millions.

The final image of the global live broadcast lingered on the moment Chen Wu held "Xingyi Fist Essence" in his hand, his palm glowing with the "Five Elements Fusion Energy" totem.

The golden-brown halo of the peace lock intertwined with the Qi Energy of the Eight Great Schools, forming a huge "Fusion" character in mid-air.

The "Fusion Energy Spreads Globally" message flooded the comments section, lit up simultaneously by 38 billion viewers, like a river of light spanning mountains and seas, flowing forever above the Xingyi Sect branch, illuminating the ultimate journey of the underground palace exploration, and also illuminating the new future of ancient martial Fusion Energy heading toward the globe.
