Stronger with Crimson Modifier-Chapter 96: Inheritance Secret Martial Arts (2)
[For another example, a man at the scene of a car accident single-handedly righted an overturned pickup truck, rescuing the injured person trapped inside. However, when the man tried to do it again afterward, he found he couldn’t, no matter how hard he tried.]
...
Examples of similar situations are not uncommon.
These are all due to a small portion of the body’s Divine Treasure being briefly unlocked under certain emergency situations.
"Secret Martial Artists, on the other hand, can permanently unlock this part of the Divine Treasure through special Cultivation Methods. To reach this stage, one must first possess a sufficiently strong physique and accumulate Qi and Blood in the body. This is also why we practice Pile Skill."
"Pile Skill is the foundation. Only by building a solid foundation can the breakthrough to the rank of Martial Arts Family become easier."
As she said this, Helinta opened her palm, and a ball of dark red, fiery light suddenly flared to life.
In an instant, the temperature in the room seemed to climb by more than ten degrees, giving one a scorching sensation.
No, that wasn’t a flame. It was Qi and Blood condensed into a physical form!
Hu Qi’s eyes widened slightly as he watched this scene. Even with his composed state of mind, he couldn’t help but feel a ripple of shock.
’To project Qi and Blood externally... this level of power is simply incredible.’
"Only by opening the Essence Element Divine Treasure can one project their Qi and Blood externally. I won’t elaborate further on this. You will naturally understand once you break through to the rank of Martial Arts Family."
Helinta said coolly.
"To open the Essence Element Divine Treasure, one must practice Secret Martial Arts. The factions that possess the methods for these Secret Martial Arts are known as Schools."
At this point, she opened the door and walked out.
Seeing this, Hu Qi quickly followed.
The two then entered another room. Similar to the last one, it also contained a painting, but this one was covered by a piece of red cloth.
"Our Shexin Sect’s Secret Martial Arts, the Red Snake Secret Martial Arts, is hidden within this."
After she finished speaking, Helinta pressed a black button on the side wall.
The next moment, the red cloth covering it slowly drew aside.
A painting came into Hu Qi’s view. It was a depiction of a world drenched in blood.
And within that world lay an immense, ancient serpent, as large as a mountain range.
"This is our Shexin Sect’s Divine Intent Map. The method for the Secret Martial Arts is recorded within it."
Helinta’s voice drifted over.
"This is Concentration Incense. Its effect is several times stronger than Gathering Spirit Incense, and it will help you comprehend the Divine Intent Map."
With that, she lit a stick of incense, placed it to the side, and turned to leave.
As the door closed behind her, the room plunged into darkness, save for a single white spotlight from above that illuminated him and the Divine Intent Map on the wall.
The surrounding walls were pitch-black, likely made of some kind of light-absorbing material.
Hu Qi watched the long stick of incense burn, wisps of faint green smoke curling into the air.
’Concentration Incense, huh?’
He took a deep breath, and a rich, clear fragrance filled his senses.
In an instant, it was as if a ray of light had illuminated his mind, instantly clearing away his cluttered thoughts.
It felt as though his focus had been heightened to its absolute peak.
Hu Qi walked straight to a meditation cushion in the middle of the room and sat down. Then, he looked up at the painting on the wall that recorded the Inheritance Secret Martial Arts.
According to Helinta, the Secret Martial Arts was hidden within it.
He studied it with extreme focus, practically searing every single sketched line into his mind.
However, he didn’t discover anything else out of the ordinary.
But under the effects of the Concentration Incense, his mind was free of distractions. He felt no impatience and simply sat there quietly.
An unknown amount of time passed. Suddenly, the acrid smell of blood assaulted Hu Qi’s nostrils.
The stench was so overpowering that Hu Qi’s expression shifted, his gaze instantly sharpening.
But when he saw the scene before him clearly, his pupils contracted slightly.
’Where is this?’
The blood-colored world was like a tattered scroll, looking as if it might start weeping blood at any moment.
The land was barren, and the rivers of blood were thick enough to float shields.
WHOOSH!
A fierce wind rushed at his face. This wind, however, was somewhat hot and carried a pungent, foul stench.
At the same time, a shadow fell over him.
Hu Qi sensed something and looked up, his expression stiffening slightly.
A colossal figure blotted out the sky. It was a coiled, blood-colored serpent.
The great serpent’s body was incredibly thick, its entire form shimmering with an eerie, bloody light.
Its winding form resembled a mountain range. Its scales were massive and heavy, like indestructible shields, their sharp edges glinting coldly, as if they could easily slice through anything they touched.
Its raised head was like a small mountain, its two enormous eyes like burning pools of blood, revealing endless savagery and fury.
A crimson forked tongue flickered in and out. Sharp fangs glinted coldly in the bloody light, and the foul wind gusting from its mouth carried the stench of death.
The hot, fierce wind he had felt just moments ago was coming from this creature.
At this moment, the great serpent’s gaze was locked firmly onto Hu Qi.
Even though Hu Qi knew that everything he was seeing was likely just an illusion, the intense pressure still made him tremble uncontrollably.
This was a crushing suppression originating from a higher Life Level, something that couldn’t be overcome by mere self-suggestion.
[System detected: Host’s consciousness is in a special spiritual Inheritance Illusion Realm. Consume Modification Points for a perfect inheritance?]
Just then, a line of text appeared before Hu Qi’s eyes. He was startled for only a moment before choosing to confirm without the slightest hesitation.
He hadn’t used the Modification Points he had accumulated over the past few days.
He had been saving them just in case.
It seemed they were finally being put to use.
The next moment, a dense black aura unexpectedly surged out from beneath the blood-colored serpent’s scales.
The black aura was like ink, rapidly suffusing the great serpent’s body and exuding an aura of destruction.
Suddenly, the great serpent raised its tail and whipped it against the ground.
BOOM!
The world shook violently.
ROAR!!!
In the next instant, the great serpent threw its head back and suddenly let out a terrifying, colossal roar at the sky.
The roar was like rolling thunder, shaking the mountains and causing rivers to flow backward.
A visible crimson shockwave erupted from its center, spreading rapidly in all directions.
The surrounding mountain peaks were instantly turned to dust. Bottomless chasms split the earth, and magma erupted from deep within the ground.
At the same time, a fleshy bulge swelled up on the great serpent’s forehead.
The bulge expanded rapidly, then burst.
In its place, a single vertical pupil appeared—pitch-black, cold, and as deathly still as an abyssal chasm.
As this vertical pupil twitched slightly, a thick beam of black light shot out from it, piercing the heavens.
The next second, a black hole appeared in the firmament, spinning and churning.
Countless cracks instantly appeared across the entire world.
It was like a piece of porcelain on the verge of shattering.
Hu Qi tilted his head back, the fierce wind whipping at his clothes and hair.
He just watched the scene quietly, making no move.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to move; he simply couldn’t.
Suddenly.
CRACK!
A crisp cracking sound echoed out.
The world, like a cracked mirror, completely shattered.
Everything, absolutely everything, vanished without a trace.
The next moment, in the dim room, Hu Qi, sitting under the spotlight, abruptly opened his eyes.
He had fallen asleep at some point without even realizing it.
Panting heavily, he tried to calm his roiling emotions.
Hu Qi looked up at the wall. The scroll was still hanging there, showing no abnormalities.
However, he couldn’t tell if it was his imagination, but he felt that the vivid, blood-red color of the snake’s body seemed to have faded slightly.
Hu Qi didn’t look any longer. He just glanced at it once before averting his gaze.
Just then, streams of information began to manifest in his mind, rapidly assembling themselves.
They formed an Inheritance Secret Martial Arts.
