The Martial Saint of Humanity, I Have Transformed Low-Level Martial Arts Into Immortal Martial Arts - Chapter 82

Chapter 82: Creating My Own Cultivation Technique! Dragon and Phoenix amongst Mortals!

When the transformation completed, Su Hao’s eyes regained their clarity. In his perception, time felt different—more profound. Every flower, every leaf, every blade of grass, every tree, even the slightest detail contained the awe-inspiring craftsmanship of nature, allowing him to see through them all.

He could grasp profound truths from the minutiae!

“Potential… has transformed once again!”

A genuine smile spread across Su Hao’s face as he realized that over the past six months, by achieving perfection in multiple lower-grade martial arts techniques, he had finally broken through the 100-point barrier of potential, shattering limitations and completing his elevation and transformation.

Potential Points: 101 points (Dragon and Phoenix amongst Mortals)

Su Hao’s potential had reached 101 points, and his potential tier had transformed from ‘Innate Talent’ to ‘Dragon and Phoenix amongst Mortals’!

The dragon and phoenix are no longer mere mundane entities; they exist only in legends. In the Great Yan Dynasty, only the emperor can wear the Dragon Robe, and only the empress can embody the Phoenix.

Throughout history, extraordinary heroes and figures have left their marks, and those outstanding among them have been bestowed with the title of ‘Dragon and Phoenix.’ Being recognized as Dragon and Phoenix amongst mortals means being distinguished among countless others, soaring high above the clouds when fortunes rise!

Now, Su Hao is one of those individuals capable of leaving a mark in the river of history, a true Dragon and Phoenix among mortals!

“My own martial arts, many of which have points of convergence, can be improved. By extracting their strengths and merging them into one, I might create a martial art uniquely my own.”

As soon as his potential transformed to the tier of ‘Dragon and Phoenix amongst Mortals,’ Su Hao instantly realized how extraordinary he had become. He reflected on himself and the martial arts he had mastered, and a realization sparked in his mind, leading to an idea.

Creating one’s own martial arts is not something that can be done out of thin air. A person without a strong martial arts foundation cannot create formidable techniques; it requires a solid base.

Su Hao, having practiced martial arts to this point, had mastered twenty to thirty techniques, encompassing both Basic Martial Arts and Initiated Martial Arts, achieving a comprehensive understanding and perfecting them all. Combined with his newly transformed potential and exceptional talent and comprehension, he instantly had the idea to refine his own martial arts.

“Melting Gold Hand transforms my hands to be as hard as iron, converting strength into a heat capable of melting gold and iron.”

“Iron Shirt condenses strength and blankets the body, forming an impenetrable defense, like wearing an iron garment.”

“And the Hard Qi Skill is the transformation of vital energy and blood into a force that enhances the body’s functions, filling the entire body, making the muscles as hard as iron, and rendering strikes from sticks and clubs painless.” A rough outline began to form in Su Hao’s mind.

The Melting Gold Hand, Iron Shirt, and Hard Qi Skill each have unique features and commonalities; Su Hao aimed to merge their advantages into one!

Thinking of it as he did, this wasn’t a task that could be completed in a day, yet Su Hao devoted all his energy to refining these three martial arts. He pondered during meals, during breaks, and even while forging metal.

“Clang! Clang! Clang!” The hammer fell repeatedly, the ringing sounds echoing continuously, and Su Hao felt enlightenment wash over him.

“A piece of scrap iron can be transformed into fine steel through hammering. My own body can also be refined, and my martial arts can serve as the strong materials to empower myself!”

A flame seemed to burn brightly in Su Hao’s eyes.

Clang! Clang! Clang! With every strike of the hammer, Su Hao activated the Melting Gold Hand, Iron Shirt, and Hard Qi Skill, as if he were turning his body into a furnace, melding these martial arts into one.

“Combining the fiery power of the Melting Gold Hand with the protective energy of the Iron Shirt, spreading it throughout my whole body, filling my muscles and bones with the Hard Qi Skill for protection and isolation, creating a unity of inner and outer strength.”

With continuous thought and practice, Su Hao gradually began to yield results, integrating the fiery energy, protective energy, and enhanced body function energy fluidly into one!

The originally crimson fiery energy covering Su Hao’s hands began to extend up to his arms and elbows, the scorching energy igniting the air around him!

Unnamed (Initiation)

Potential Points: 104 points (Dragon and Phoenix amongst Mortals)

At the moment Su Hao started to achieve breakthroughs in his martial arts, his attribute panel also displayed an unnamed martial art that had just begun initiation, boosting his potential by 3 points!

It is important to note that, having surpassed the 100-point threshold in potential, the enhancement gained from cultivating lower-grade martial arts had become negligible for Su Hao.

“Middle Grade Martial Arts… The martial art I created and refined is likely at the Middle Grade level!”

Su Hao’s eyes sparkled, unable to contain his joy.

Basic Martial Arts, Lower Grade Martial Arts, Middle Grade Martial Arts, Upper Grade Martial Arts, Ultimate Skill.

Lower Grade Martial Arts are often the closely guarded secrets of the Great Families and Sects; even family members must go through rigorous testing to learn them.

In comparison, Middle Grade Martial Arts are ten times more precious than Lower Grade Martial Arts. There are probably very few Middle Grade Martial Arts available in the entire Evergreen County!

The martial art Su Hao created based on three Lower Grade Martial Arts had just begun initiation, and his potential points surged by 3—placing it firmly in the realm of Middle Grade Martial Arts!

“This martial art… I shall name it Molten Fire Golden Body.”

After a little thought, Su Hao gave this brand-new martial art a name: Molten Fire Golden Body!

Molten Fire Golden Body (Initiation)

In the attribute panel, the unnamed martial art transformed into ‘Molten Fire Golden Body.’

“This Molten Fire Golden Body has just begun; it needs to be polished and perfected. Ideally, I want to achieve a state where the fiery energy envelops my entire body.”

Su Hao began his practice. The hardest step was moving from zero to one. Now that he had a direction, he just needed to work hard towards it!

In a desolate valley outside Evergreen City, Su Hao sat quietly in meditation.

He could see the fiery energy surging around him, spreading from his hands to his arms, torso, and legs, with only his head remaining uncovered.

His body, enveloped in the fiery energy, turned a crimson hue, as if he were donned in a layer of red iron armor, radiating intense heat, which dried and cracked the rocky ground beneath him. If someone got too close, even weapons forged from fine steel would melt into liquid iron!

If Su Hao were in the thick of the forest, the scorching energy emanating from him would most likely ignite a fire!

It was hard to imagine that such blazing heat could come from a human body.

Gradually, Su Hao began to retract the fiery energy; the crimson color on his skin faded away as he exhaled deeply.

Molten Fire Golden Body (Great Accomplishment)

Potential Points: 113 points (Dragon and Phoenix amongst mortals)

It had been three months since Su Hao created the Molten Fire Golden Body, and it had already reached great accomplishment, yet he still wore a furrowed brow.

“The Molten Fire Golden Body can cover the torso and limbs with strength force, but it still cannot encompass the head. Only when it covers the head can it be considered true perfection! It still needs much refinement!”

Su Hao shook his head in silence.

The head is considerably harder to train than the limbs or torso; patience is vital. If the head is injured, the consequences would be unimaginable. It’s essential to take it slow—patience yields results in due time!

At the great accomplishment level, the intricacies and power of the Molten Fire Golden Body have already far surpassed any perfection level of lower-grade martial arts.

If there is a single drawback, it is the enormous consumption of energy. With Su Hao’s level of Astral Strength, deploying this fiery energy to envelop his entire body incurs a visibly significant cost!

Aside from the Molten Fire Golden Body, Su Hao has also made gradual advancements in Transforming Tendon; he has entered the level of three Transforming Tendons over the past six months!

Focusing his mind inward, Su Hao could see the meridians throughout his body; they had not become thicker, but the surface had taken on a lustrous jade-like sheen. In terms of both flexibility and strength force output, it surpassed that of the second Transforming Tendon.

This is the ‘Jade Tendon’ produced by three Transforming Tendons, as beautiful as jade and flawlessly perfect!
