Invincibility Begins with Mastery of Fist Techniques-Chapter 97: Seeing the Unseen

Guangpu City, Xinzhou District.

Outside Guangyi High-end Apartment, in a deserted alley corner.

Zheng Haiming leaned against the dark corner of the alley, the cigarette in his mouth glowing faintly as he puffed out clouds of smoke.

A luxury sedan pulled up at the end of the street. A handsome young man in a sharp suit got out, flanked by bodyguards.

The young man waved a hand at his bodyguards, motioning for them to stop and block the entrance to the street. He then walked into the alley's shadows alone, came to Zheng Haiming's side, and lit a cigarette of his own, taking slow drags.

"You're living a much more comfortable life than I am, Young Master of Nanyuan Group. In Human Society, you'd be considered at the absolute top of the food chain, wouldn't you?"

Zheng Haiming said, a faint smile on his lips.

"It's all useless junk. Humanity has regressed. A decadent old man, obsessed with profit, who uses rules and power to exploit tens of thousands of ordinary people, is weaker than a chicken. Yet, countless people still grovel, 'chasing after' and 'adoring' him, as if being exploited for all they're worth is the honor and blessing of nine lifetimes. If we had encountered an era like this back in our day, we probably wouldn't be in such a sorry state now."

The young man in the suit exhaled a plume of smoke and said flatly.

"Hasn't humanity always been like this? It's just more obvious after so many years of peace. But there are always a few troublesome hard-asses, and Guangpu City has more than its fair share."

"But by the looks of it, you've pretty much recovered."

Zheng Haiming said with a light chuckle.

"Yes, it's about time to make a move. But our strength alone is a bit too weak."

The young man asked flatly.

"Don't worry. We'll make preparations first. I've already tried to contact some 'comrades.' For now, the Donghua Country Secret Inspection Bureau can't possibly find us. There's still a lot we can do."

"How's the investigation into that 'Sealed Land' I sensed with my unique ability?"

Zheng Haiming asked.

"That island was originally a transfer port for long-distance voyages, but it was recently closed and taken out of service for unknown reasons. The Donghua Country Secret Inspection Bureau must have discovered it and taken measures. The secrets these two bodies have access to are still too few."

The young man said.

"Is that so? Then we'd better get busy. Haisa Island is our top priority. After all, a 'First Generation' is sealed there."

「Seven days later.」

In the training room of Lu Ming's villa.

Zhou Yuanjue sat cross-legged, a candle flame burning brightly within his mind.

He wasn't deliberately performing a Heart's Desire Bursting Out, but as the Lamp Burning Technique circulated, it was as if faint candle flames were flickering within about seventy percent of his Acupoints.

For seven days and seven nights, Zhou Yuanjue had maintained a state of high-intensity training. Though it was only seven days, his efficiency was nearly equivalent to a month for an ordinary top-tier Martial Artist.

If it weren't for the miraculous Nirvana Fire, which maximized his body's self-healing capabilities and allowed him to recover his Mental Power in a state of extremely deep Meditation, it's unlikely anyone could have endured the intensity of these seven days of training.

At first glance, the Nirvana Fire seemed rather unremarkable, but for a training maniac like Zhou Yuanjue, it was a powerful ability that affected his very foundation, greatly increasing the intensity and duration of his training.

Now, he could preliminarily channel the fire of his mind into seventy percent of the Acupoints throughout his body. Naturally, the resonant frequency between his mind and body had strengthened significantly, and as a result, the intensity and duration of his Heart's Desire Bursting Out had also increased dramatically. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

However, he still couldn't truly imbue every single move with the power of a Heart's Desire Bursting Out. Thirty percent of his Acupoints remained unlit, which meant that whenever he used the technique, there would inevitably be a thirty percent loss of Heart Intent, preventing him from achieving perfect harmony.

Zhou Yuanjue slowly withdrew from the Lamp Burning Realm. The fiery light in his Acupoints gradually receded until it vanished completely.

He stood up. The "Hundred Acupoints Return to the Origin" technique, at this stage, could no longer advance his strength. It was time to seek new stimulation to elevate his Spiritual Will once more, which would allow him to light more Acupoints.

He walked out of the training room and found Li Qingxuan and Lu Ming eating breakfast in the living room.

"You're out of seclusion?"

Lu Ming asked, chewing on a piece of French toast and sipping soy milk.

Zhou Yuanjue nodded. His will gradually calmed, and the fire in his mind and the Acupoints throughout his body ignited simultaneously. This was an interesting side-ability he had discovered during his training.

In this state, he used the trick of the Star Fire technique to spread his Spirit, connecting with both Li Qingxuan and Lu Ming and seeing some interesting things.

Heart Sealing Heart, reflecting the true nature.

He first looked at Lu Ming. If Dai Yisheng's body had appeared to his eyes as a pure, jade-like white light, then at this moment, Lu Ming's body felt murky in his perception.

The turbid mortal world throws the body and mind into chaos.

On the surface, Lu Ming seemed to be in decent shape. But in the eyes of a true master, his body was utterly murky, long since polluted by the mundane world and the passage of time.

And within this murkiness, his lungs and kidneys were the worst, almost congealed into a single mass.

This was a sign of a weakened body and poor circulation of qi and blood.

"Less sex, less smoking."

Zhou Yuanjue said to Lu Ming, his expression calm.

"?"

Lu Ming froze mid-sip of his soy milk, a question mark slowly forming over his head.

Zhou Yuanjue ignored him and turned to look at Li Qingxuan.

Compared to Lu Ming, Li Qingxuan paid more attention to maintaining her health. Although she didn't practice martial arts systematically, her physical condition was undoubtedly much better than Lu Ming's. In his perception, the level of murkiness in her body was much lower.

After observing Li Qingxuan for a moment, he ultimately said only four words: "Drink more hot water."

Hearing Zhou Yuanjue's words, Li Qingxuan, who was chewing on a piece of whole-wheat bread, looked as if she'd been struck by lightning. She stared blankly at Zhou Yuanjue.

As the degree of fusion between his mind and body increased, under the influence of his mind, to a certain extent, he could no longer be considered a mere mortal with ordinary eyes.

Although he hadn't reached the stage of "Five Eyes Opened," he could already see what others could not.

With this ability, during a duel, when the wills of both sides were entangled, he could perceive his opponent's changes more quickly and react accordingly.

This was already close to a "Divine Power."

"Looks like you've figured out something incredible again."

Lu Ming shook his head. He couldn't even be bothered to dig deeper now. After all, in his subconscious, he no longer saw Zhou Yuanjue as human.

'If he's not human, then anything he does is normal.'

"Help me arrange a match."

Zhou Yuanjue sat down beside him and said directly to Lu Ming.

"With who?"

Lu Ming asked, not at all surprised. He knew that whenever Zhou Yuanjue came out of seclusion, he would inevitably ask a similar question. The guy was a complete madman.

"From the Seven Spirits Sect, Ji Yunzhou."

Zhou Yuanjue slowly spoke the name he had been interested in for a long time.

"I knew you'd pick him. But I'm afraid he won't accept your challenge."

Lu Ming said, shaking his head.
