The Martial Saint of Humanity, I Have Transformed Low-Level Martial Arts Into Immortal Martial Arts - Chapter 42

Chapter 42: Void Breaking Divine Fist! Gold Medal Blade Catcher!

“This world truly hides dragons and crouching tigers. Who exactly is Wen Tailai? He seems to have appeared out of nowhere, possessing such strength, yet he doesn’t appear to come from a big family or a powerful force.”

As Su Hao accepted the scroll, a trace of intrigue flitted through Gongsun Xiu’s eyes. Being able to kill Wu Huacheng indicated that Su Hao’s strength was extraordinary, but Gongsun Xiu had never heard of anyone like him from Evergreen City. Moreover, judging by Su Hao’s eagerness for Initiated Level Martial Arts, he likely wasn’t a Martial Artist from a powerful family; otherwise, he wouldn’t have needed to take on the risks of being a Blade Catcher to earn merits for a Martial Arts Secret Book!

However, Gongsun Xiu was also a wise man. As long as the other party wasn’t an enemy, there was no need to dig deeper into his background, as that might provoke him instead!

Su Hao, of course, was unaware of Gongsun Xiu’s thoughts. At that moment, he was perusing the scroll, deep in thought: “There are only three Lower Grade Martial Arts available for exchange on this scroll: Dripping Rain Sword Technique, Mad Demon Staff Technique, and Void Breaking Divine Fist.”

These three Lower Grade Martial Arts included two weapons techniques and one fist technique. The scroll also contained descriptions of each Martial Art.

The Dripping Rain Sword Technique emphasizes the principle of ‘dripping water penetrates stone,’ focusing on the exquisite control of Strength Force to unleash the strongest damage with minimal effort. The Mad Demon Staff Technique, on the other hand, values a frenzied spirit, incorporating madness into the staff techniques for unmatched power.

Lastly, the fist technique, the Void Breaking Divine Fist, piqued Su Hao’s interest immensely. This fist technique, aside from its moves, emphasizes the application of Strength Force, capable of condensing force and even striking the enemy from mid-air, appearing as if the fist has missed, yet hitting precisely!

However, the requirements for practicing the Void Breaking Divine Fist are extremely high for Martial Artists. Those who have only refined their Strength a couple of times, mastering bright and inner strength, would find it challenging to even initiate this technique, let alone achieve small or great accomplishments.

“I want all three of these Lower Grade Martial Arts… but if I can only choose one, the Void Breaking Divine Fist is undoubtedly the most suitable for me,” Su Hao thought to himself.

At this moment, Gongsun Xiu spoke up, “Brother Wen, all three of these Martial Arts are Lower Grade Initiated techniques, each with its strengths. Many people spend their entire lives without grasping the essence of any one of them. However, I would recommend you choose the Void Breaking Divine Fist. It is the most challenging of the three, but with your Transformation Strength level, you have a significant advantage in mastering it.”

Gongsun Xiu previously tested Su Hao and knew that Su Hao had an extremely high level in body tempering and strength refining. Therefore, he recommended the Void Breaking Divine Fist, which coincided with Su Hao’s own thoughts. Among the three Lower Grade Martial Arts, the Void Breaking Divine Fist is the most difficult not only because it requires exceptional comprehension but also demands robust strength force. However, for Su Hao, whose strength force is particularly strong, it becomes the easiest option instead.

Of course, Gongsun Xiu did not know that Su Hao’s strength force was far beyond his imagination, not merely Transformation Strength but equivalent to the level of Core Strength! It was truly impressive!

“Then, Department Head Gongsun, I’ll choose the Void Breaking Divine Fist,” Su Hao said as he looked up at Gongsun Xiu, making his decision to exchange his merit from killing Wu Huacheng for this technique.

“Good. Brother Wen, come back in two days, and I will retrieve the secret book to present to you.” Gongsun Xiu nodded in agreement.

Su Hao had no objections to this. After conversing with Gongsun Xiu for a while, he temporarily took his leave.

“It seems our patrol division has gained a sharp blade!” Gongsun Xiu smiled as he looked at Su Hao’s departing figure. Although this ‘Wen Tailai’ had a mysterious identity, his strength was remarkable. Moreover, their patrol division had what Su Hao wanted. As long as both parties cooperated, it would be mutually beneficial!

Time passed, and two days later, after completing his daily tasks at the Forging Weaponry Workshop, Su Hao arrived at the patrol division in the evening after using the Bone Shrinking Technique for disguise, and he finally obtained what he desired.

“Brother Wen, here is the Void Breaking Divine Fist for you. But let me make it clear beforehand: this Martial Art must only be practiced by you; it must not be leaked. Otherwise, our department will not let it slide easily.” Before handing over the secret book of the Void Breaking Divine Fist to Su Hao, Gongsun Xiu also warned him.

No organization would easily leak its Martial Arts secret books, even if one had made contributions and earned the opportunity to learn. The privilege to practice it belonged solely to the individual, and sharing it with others was strictly forbidden!

“I understand.” Su Hao was aware of the rules. He slightly nodded in agreement and took the secret book from Gongsun Xiu.

As he caressed the cover of the secret book, a fiery excitement surged in him; he could hardly wait to go back and study it.

At that moment, Gongsun Xiu said, “Brother Wen, according to my superior’s instructions, you have killed the evil villain Wu Huacheng for the benefit of the people. We are willing to hire you as the ‘Gold Medal Blade Catcher’ registered in our department.”

“Gold Medal Blade Catcher?”

Su Hao looked at him, waiting for an explanation.

“Becoming a Gold Medal Blade Catcher qualifies you to accept some high-level bounties and intelligence. You’ll hold a token, and additionally, you will receive a monthly salary of ten taels of silver…”

Gongsun Xiu briefly outlined the benefits of being a Gold Medal Blade Catcher.

“Ten taels a month?”

Su Hao felt a slight stir in his heart; earning ten taels without doing anything for a year would amount to a total of one hundred twenty taels. Su Hao’s cultivation was already costly, so he certainly wouldn’t turn down more silver.

“Alright, I’m willing to become a Gold Medal Blade Catcher for the Yamen.”

Su Hao agreed immediately, knowing that he would still take on bounties in the future to exchange for higher-level Initiated Martial Arts. After all, he acted under the identity of ‘Wen Tailai’ and would be cautious not to attract trouble.

After finishing his discussion with Gongsun Xiu, Su Hao took his leave.

“Tomorrow is the Forging Weaponry Workshop’s day off, just in time to delve into the ‘Void Breaking Divine Fist’!”

Back at his residence in Anyu District, Su Hao was filled with anticipation.

Early the next morning, before dawn, Su Hao got up early and began to study the ‘Void Breaking Divine Fist.’

“There’s also a set of foundation stances to better utilize my strength force…”

After carefully browsing through the ‘Void Breaking Divine Fist,’ Su Hao started his training. Following the postures from the secret book, he began practicing the corresponding basic stances.

He positioned his feet evenly, letting his arms hang naturally, moving slowly while circulating his qi and blood, following the movement route of the Void Breaking Divine Fist, and started throwing punches.

Whoosh!

Each movement and each punch was initially unfamiliar to Su Hao. By the second round, it appeared more like form, and after practicing all day, he was able to complete the entire set of the Void Breaking Divine Fist!

Such innate talent and comprehension were truly rare, enough to astonish anyone.

“Now to unleash the strength force!”

Su Hao activated the strength force within him, throwing punches and kicks with ferocity and precision.

“Crack! Crack!”

The air was filled with a sound like firecrackers exploding. He struck a brick slab in front of him with his fist. Although he was still half an inch away, the force of his punch reverberated and shattered the brick into countless pieces!

[Void Breaking Divine Fist (Initiation)]

Potential: 34 points (one in ten thousand)

Three days later, Su Hao looked at the additional Void Breaking Divine Fist on his attribute panel and couldn’t help but marvel, “I’ve initiated the Void Breaking Divine Fist… and it increased my potential by 1 point right from the start? Truly worthy of an Initiated Martial Art!”

In just three days, Su Hao had mastered the Void Breaking Divine Fist to the basic level, and his potential rose directly by 1 point.

It’s important to note that for Su Hao, each increase of 1 point in potential was becoming increasingly difficult, like stacking boxes. Previously, practicing basic martial arts to the Perfection level might only result in an increase of 1 point!
