"All right!"
Huang Rong and her companions couldn't possibly eat only meat; they also had delicacies like wild mushrooms, wild vegetables, and bird eggs—exquisite dishes that rivaled even the finest restaurants.
However, things were different around Zhang Xiaoshan. He had a feast of ginseng stewed pork knuckle, spicy rabbit meat, crispy pork belly, etc., which made Wang Yuyan a little envious.
However, considering Huang Rong's concern about obesity, a vegetarian diet is still the only option.
However, when you pick up a wild vegetable and put it in your mouth, it looks unripe, but the crispness, sweetness and refreshing taste are a pleasant surprise.
"Sister Huang, you have such great cooking skills!"
The vegetarian dishes, which contained no visible meat, tasted more delicious to Wang Yuyan than any of the elaborate meals she had ever eaten before.
She hadn't noticed Huang Rong's extraordinary skills while on the ship.
Zhang Xiaoshan kept making desserts, and the food was mostly sashimi. Huang Rong had no intention of showing off her skills in front of Madam Wan. She kept ordering Zhang Xiaoshan around and showing off their affection.
···
belch!
With a burp, Wang Yuyan, who had never seen anything like it before, stared in disbelief as Zhang Xiaoshan finished off the entire meal in front of him.
With a leap, Zhang Xiaoshan raised his hand in the starting stance of Bajiquan on the open ground.
In Wang Yuyan's beautiful eyes, it looked like a simple and powerful 'third-rate boxing technique'.
At this moment, Zhang Xiaoshan's fists and kicks contained the power of a dragon and an elephant. When he stomped his foot on the ground, the force of the kick could shake the earth and reverberate the space.
What Wang Yuyan saw as the solution was, upon witnessing the power Zhang Xiaoshan unleashed, she was horrified to discover that the so-called solution was nothing more than suicide.
A punch, an elbow, a shoulder...
Let alone a human, even a giant bear ten feet tall could be sent flying ten feet away.
The power to overcome all methods is unparalleled!
After Bajiquan came Taizu Changquan. Each move seemed simple and unadorned, but it contained boundless power, and when connected, it was flawless.
The Shaolin Twelve-Road Tan Leg style features legs that are as swift and fierce as single-edged swords, possessing unparalleled power and ferocity...
Looking at the dozen or so martial arts Zhang Xiaoshan displayed, none of them were unique skills in the martial arts world, but he brought the strength of his legs and feet to the extreme.
It is often said that weapons are like one's own arm and fingers, but Wang Yuyan felt that Zhang Xiaoshan's fists and feet were like divine weapons:
A mere graze will cause injury, a direct contact will be fatal!
This is the true pinnacle of martial arts in the art of external cultivation; no wonder he ate so much food at once.
As Zhang Xiaoshan finished digesting his food, he raised his hand and unleashed another magical display of his ultimate technique—
Shaolin martial arts techniques—Prajna Palm, 980-Finger Flower Technique, Vajra Palm, Kasaya Subduing Demon Skill…
Wudang's ultimate martial arts—Tai Chi Chuan, Tai Chi Sword, Heaven-Shaking Palm...
The Beggars' Sect's divine skills—Dragon Subduing Palm Technique, Dragon Capturing Skill, Dog-Beating Staff Technique...
···
Even Wang Yuyan, looking at these dazzling array of martial arts techniques, parted her lips slightly in shock.
"These are all driven by the Lesser Formless Skill, seemingly plausible but actually not, utterly boring."
"Come on, let's go to the attic!"
"The Lesser Formless Skill! All these ultimate techniques are powered by the Lesser Formless Skill?"
The Langhuan Jade Cave doesn't have many internal energy cultivation methods. Even though it's said to contain all the world's most powerful techniques, without the corresponding cultivation methods, it can't unleash its full potential.
The Lesser Formless Skill was practiced in the Langhuan Jade Cave. Neither Lady Wang nor Murong Fu had mastered it before.
First, his skill level is insufficient to meet the requirements for forced cultivation;
Secondly, they cannot reach the state of 'formlessness'!
This is the pinnacle of Taoist teachings, containing profound Taoist principles; without understanding it, what's the point of cultivation?
Undoubtedly, both Lady Wang and Murong Fu were deeply obsessed and 'unlearned' individuals. They relied on 'realm' to comprehend, so naturally they could not master the Lesser Formless Skill.
Madam Wang only mastered this unique skill after practicing the Absorption Technique, relying on her profound internal strength. Compared to Master Mingchen's level, she was far inferior.
With just a flick of the finger, one can see the extraordinary.
"You don't know your family's martial arts?"
"I know this martial art, but neither my mother nor my cousin have mastered it."
Hearing Wang Yuyan's helplessness, Huang Rong explained the mystery of this martial art. Although she had never practiced it, Master Mingchen had previously reached the minor mastery level.
Knowing that the Lesser Formless Skill could simulate all the world's ultimate martial arts, including the Seventy-Two Shaolin Arts, Wang Yuyan was stunned.
"However, this bastard said that this martial art is dangerous, that my internal energy is insufficient, and that the true qi pathways of various martial arts clash, which could lead to qi deviation, so he won't let me practice it!"
Chapter 242 Mysterious Visitor: A Call to Heroes of the Southern Martial World
Ah!
The roar of tigers and the cry of dragons echoed for miles!
On the open ground, Zhang Xiaoshan felt more exhilarated than ever before.
Aside from the Nine Cauldrons Divine Fist, the Heavenly Crippled Divine Skill, and the Pure Yang Finger, all martial arts techniques were tested on Zhang Xiaoshan, making him feel as if he had been freed from all constraints.
This is the exhilarating feeling of him breaking through the limits of his techniques. From now on, he will not need any techniques. Any punch or kick will have the power of Shaolin skills and the Dragon Subduing Palm. He can do whatever he wants and return to simplicity!
"What are you yelling about in the middle of the night? Are you trying to scare people?!"
Huang Rong's angry rebuke came from the attic, but Zhang Xiaoshan smiled calmly and explained:
"My venting just now led to a breakthrough in my cultivation level; I couldn't help myself!"
"breakthrough?"
Upon hearing this, all the women looked at Zhang Xiaoshan in shock.
Zhang Xiaoshan's realm had reached a point where there was no further progress, yet he could still break through.
"It's just a breakthrough to the realm of things coming together naturally."
I have rarely fought with others before, but I am proficient in almost all the martial arts in the world.
This time, by using the Lesser Formless Skill to simulate the most powerful martial arts techniques in the world, I have actually integrated all the principles of my own martial arts, breaking through to a state of returning to simplicity and authenticity.
"so smart?"
Upon hearing Zhang Xiaoshan's explanation, Huang Rong's eyes lit up.
Wang Yuyan understood what was going on. This was the legendary state of "no moves are better than moves".
Zhang Xiaoshan's skill was undeniable; a single finger strike was as fast as lightning, and a single palm strike could shatter the heavens and the earth. He didn't need any fancy moves between his fists and palms.
To reach this level:
First, one can achieve divine mastery in martial arts, breaking through from the pinnacle of achievement to enter a state of returning to simplicity and authenticity.
Secondly, his internal strength had reached its peak, rendering techniques useless. Every move he made was of earth-shattering power, making techniques completely unnecessary.
Zhang Xiaoshan leans towards the second type, possessing internal strength that has reached a certain level, and embodying the ultimate principles of martial arts.
At this moment, Zhang Xiaoshan didn't need any special techniques. He could achieve the desired result with just a few simple gestures.
Capturing dragons and controlling cranes, yin and yang, light and darkness, pushing in all directions with the palm...
"Does that mean all the martial arts skills you practiced before are useless?"
"What are you thinking? Realm is realm, and strength is strength."
Although I can achieve the result I want now if I want to, how can such a simple martial art be compared to the many unparalleled skills?
My Pure Yang Finger technique isn't a matter of simulation; the finger strength still requires specific mental techniques to unleash invisible sword energy and condense sword light and sword aura!
"Wouldn't that be about the same as before!"
"That's true!"
Upon hearing Huang Rong's words of criticism, Zhang Xiaoshan realized that it was indeed true.
At Zhang Xiaoshan's level, strength is judged by the performance of one's special skills, while life and death are determined by experience among those of the same level.
Therefore, even if he unleashed his fists, it wouldn't be of much help to Zhang Xiaoshan, since he didn't engage in physical combat with others.
Why engage in close combat with an enemy you can kill with a single finger or annihilate with a single punch, giving them a chance to turn the tables?
Being clean and efficient, leaving no loose ends, is the survival rule for those who roam the world!
After a long entanglement, will the protagonist pull off another miraculous comeback?
Wang Yuyan, standing to the side, was utterly speechless!
The realm that others dream of is of little use to Zhang Xiaoshan.
Moreover, the couple's quick wit is a perfect match.
However, she also clearly heard that Zhang Xiaoshan's strength was probably even more terrifying than the legends suggested.
The so-called Pure Yang Finger can not only save people, but also shoot out invisible sword energy and condense sword light and sword energy.
This is a peerless skill, not a peerless martial art!
However, Zhang Xiaoshan didn't need to make a move at all; the legendary bronze-armored warrior was the reason why no one had ever witnessed the terrifying power of this martial art.
···
When Zhang Xiaoshan woke up the next morning, he felt an unprecedented sense of comfort.
Looking into the master bedroom of the original carriage, the three women were sleeping soundly; while in the attic above, Wang Yuyan and her maid were murmuring softly, as if they were having a sweet dream.
Only in the attic on the third floor, Liu Sheng Piaoxu kept watch at night.
Zhang Xiaoshan originally wanted Liu Sheng Piaoxu and Wang Yuyan to rest together, since there were two hunting dogs on night watch with keen eyesight, so there was no need for anyone to keep watch.
But Liu Sheng Piaoxu insisted on staying on duty outside and spent the night on the third-floor pavilion.
"Alright, Piaoxu, go to the master bedroom and rest."
"Yes, son!"
Seeing Zhang Xiaoshan come out, Liu Sheng Piaoxu knew that with Zhang Xiaoshan taking the lead, there was nothing to worry about.
Zhang Xiaoshan made a pot of millet porridge, adding white fungus, lotus seeds, jujubes... following the recipe for eight-treasure porridge made in later generations. He especially liked to drink it when he was a child, and it was highly nutritious.
Soon, a fragrant aroma filled the air, covering an area of ten feet in radius.
Huang Rong, who had just gotten up, washed up and picked up a bowl to drink, but could barely manage to swallow it.
But she really liked it!
This sweet life made her both love and hate it.
"Miss Wang, have a bowl of rice porridge to soothe your stomach."
"Thank you very much, Young Master Zhang!"
She had just woken up and saw Zhang Xiaoshan cooking porridge. Thinking about the treatment she received on the ship, she hadn't expected him to be so gentle and considerate normally.
He had never seen Murong Fu cook, let alone prepare food for her.
Moreover, what Huang Rong considered barely palatable was actually quite good for Wang Yuyan and Abi.
Even Abi didn't think she cooked better than Zhang Xiaoshan.
Moreover, Zhang Xiaoshan is a young master, and the supreme leader of the Zhang family is even more rare.
"Hongxiao, send a bowl to Piaoxu!"
"Young master, Miss Liusheng is asleep."
"Drinking a bowl of this in the morning is good for the stomach and complexion, and with her martial arts skills, she can be awakened by the slightest sound!"
Hongxiao nodded and carried a bowl into the bedroom.
Looking at the spot where Liu Sheng Piaoxu was lying, which was the same place where Zhang Xiaoshan had rested before, he couldn't help but show a hint of helplessness.
Their young master is absolutely charming and romantic, but he doesn't really go for the women around him.
"Miss Yagyu, the young master asked me to bring you some breakfast porridge. Please drink it before you rest!"
