Immortal Ape King Chapter 3

Chapter 3: Martial Skill Pavilion

Between heaven and earth, there are three thousand dao, building the foundation of heaven and earth, deriving hundred of million of traces and this traces contains infinite mysteries.

There are rules everywhere, scattered in every part of the world, even the emotion of all things is dao.

Yuan Hong had more qi than others with his unique understanding, he can easily practice and understand different martial skill but he still needs to carefully study the Dao of heaven and earth.

Cultivator must possess this two major points, one is to have an innate const.i.tution and second was the ability to understand the dao.

In this world, all things will be naturally different.

“I remember what my father told me back then, that some tribes possess powerful Scriptures and Bloodline, left behind by their mighty ancestors. Some of their children were born with a little blood of their ancestors, giving them tremendous strength and supernatural abilities.”

” Strong bloodline make them progress faster, majority of them regarded as genius, possessing great power and comprehending the law faster than the same peers as them”

Yuan Hong thinks that his talent is not lower than this genius and maybe he exceeds some of them. With the disappearance of some Scriptures, he may really have the power to contend with these so called geniuses.

” What bloodline? , so what if they have those legacies and inheritance? It will still depend on a life a death situation. I’m still confident that I can contend with them using my knowledge and experience.”

In the age of science and technology, it’s necessary to have wisdom and knowledge.

“First of all, it’s essential to change one physique, altering your frail body. If you have a weak body it will probably cause some problems when practicing martial arts. Even though many Scriptures were lost there are still some residual for cultivator to use.”

In ancient times boxing skill was regarded as one of the most powerful techniques. In the later generation, cultivator comprehend their own way to create more powerful fist technique. Every boxing skill produces different strength and power. Practicing boxing skill can also train one body, drawing a lot of qi and giving an endless strength. Cultivator practice these to draw the Yuan Qi and temper their body. These martial arts help them to lay a solid foundation while nourishing their blood and qi.

Practicing boxing skill can uncover the potential of your body, simultaneously controlling the rhythm of your breathing. Allowing the Yuan qi of heaven and earth to seep within the body. Making your body more robust at the same time boosting your combat power.

After eating his lunch, Yuan Hong hastily went to the martial skill pavilion.
Yuan Hong was going to choose a martial skill suitable for him, with the help of his water qi to improve his physique.

Martial Skill Pavilion is usually open to the public but the problem is they don’t have enough formidable martial skill.
Only larger tribe possess those powerful martial skills, unlike small tribe like Yuan tribe. But Martial Skill Pavilion still possess some powerful martial skill, it was just that it was only given to those people who earn a lot of merits, like Yuan Hong father who cultivate the martial skill >.

But the real strong never underestimate any weak martial skill, as the saying goes, learning a third-rate martial skill can still become invincible in this world. Those weak martial skills can still be improved by learning its essence and practicing it to its peak, a move without flaw. While those powerful martial skills originally came from weaker martial skill.

Martial Skill Pavilion collects a lot of books, some of them can be acquired through one meritorious deed, while some of them were for people like Yuan Hong who was looking for a suitable martial skill to use.

It will still depend on your nature and talent when choosing a martial skill, some are born to practice a certain martial skill bringing its power to highest. There are some people who practice a martial skill but failed to grasp the true meaning of Dao.

In this world, cultivator train five different things and this five was respectively: Different Qi , Spiritual Root, Essence, Dao, Longevity, most cultivator stopped at their spiritual roots. Transforming the essence of their life, building and grasping the dao while gaining a long life, only few cultivator attained it.

After cultivating longevity, one can separate his/herself in this world, breaking the shackles of heaven and earth. After stepping in this realm one can freely travel the universe. In the eyes of Yuan Hong, this can only be done by those immortals in his past life.

Raising his head to look, all kinds of martial skill appear in front of his eyes.

” Paiyun palm, Ice palm, Unbounded hand, Flying sword-play, Cool breeze sword-play, Solitary sword-play, Unhindered sword-play, Vajra Fist, Vigorous boxing, Splitting the void fist, b.l.o.o.d.y knife skill,
Fierce wind knife skill, twelve form of iron blood, and so on.”

There are twenty to thirty sword skills, 30 types of knife skill, some palm method, leg skill, finger skill, also more or less twenty footwork skill. The problem is boxing and fist skill seems to be few, containing only 15 manuals.

Boxing also focus on different things, some focus on attacks, some focus on defense and some focus on both attack and defense. Vajra Fist focus on fighting making your fist to be like a diamond, invincible and fierce. Vigorous boxing focus on refining the body, boosting your strength and making your body as tough as a bull. Splitting the void fist focus on killing, compared with the Vajra Fist, it more emphasize on attacking. More suitable on those with lonely and overbearing character.

” Although all of them were part of boxing skill but still each of this focus in different area. Also, each person had different taste and talent. Like in my previous world, there are people who select their own courses, some people like to learn science, some people like to study liberal arts, some choose to learn the law, every person had different interest.”

Yuan Hong saw a lot of boxing skills, but he still understands that it’s necessary to choose a skill that will fit in him.

” One must look at their strength and weakness.”

As for those skills who specialized in knife, palm, and finger, Yuan Hong still did not consider to practice it now.
His own personality is more suitable for practicing boxing skills, not only improving his body it can also boost his combat strength.

Yuan Hong carefully inspects these fifteen boxing skills, seriously comparing each of them.

“Large Ox fist…”
“Blazing fist…”

” Hey, what boxing skill is this?

Suddenly Yuan Hong found one particular skill < evil="" ape="" magic="" fist="">>. In the vast tracts of wasteland above the mountains there exist an Evil Ape with an overbearing power.
Born with a tough flesh like a King Kong. This Evil Ape was one of those vicious beasts who was feared by many. Battling other vicious beast using it’s tremendous fist, possessing a tough flesh and great strength. Its pair of big fist can split a mountain, tearing up a tiger and panther.

> was derived by an expert when observing how an evil ape fight. From generation to generation it was been improved and matured. Not only that, it can also refine your body and give a sheer of power.

” I didn’t expect that practicing this boxing skill required high requirement”

Practicing this > for pract.i.tioner requires a high demand. Not only requiring deep understanding and perseverance but also for those who will practice this need to bear a great of pain.

Practicing this skill will continuously repair the body, dominating everyone with only one’s fist. At the same time causing damages to the body which will cost to injuries of bones even to the point of having fractures.

Generally, small tribes do not practice this kind of skill, maybe those larger tribes can using different drugs to reduce the pain. But even so, more people will still refuse to practice this skill.

” All the Qi of my body has been converted into water Yuan Qi which contains a strong healing ability even my injuries was repaired by this light blue Yuan Qi. It will probably harder for others but for me it’s just a piece of cake.”

Yuan Hong heartbeat quicken, with the help of this boxing skill, he must breakthrough his qi to the nine heavy layer.
Making his flesh more powerful like a real evil ape with it’s dominating fist, standing in the same order with those powerful experts.

At the present Yuan Hong was only twelve years old, before the age of fifteen, he must cultivate his qi to its peak, reaching this realm can be regarded as a genius on those large tribes.

After pondering a bit, Yuan Hong took the manual to the registration, where you can find the elder who was organizing this pavilion.

“Little monkey, to bit off more than you can chew, although practicing this boxing skill will make you strong, but you must be aware how dangerous this skill is. The threshold is too high, other children in the village tried and practice this before but all of them only were seriously injured, after that no one tried this boxing skill again.”(1)

There still other boxing skill you can choose, >, >, >, all of these we’re good boxing skill and it will further increase its might when reaching the peak.”

When the pavilion elder saw Yuan Hong choose the >, he kept persuading Yuan Hong to abandon this skill.

Yuan Hong knew that the elder had a good intention, so he reply in a respectful voice.

” Thank you elder, I know that practicing this boxing skill is dangerous but I still have confidence in myself.”

The pavilion elder looked at Yuan Hong and laughed.
“Like father, like son, Ah that boy when he’s young is really the same as you, forget it forget it, just do what you want. You will also quit after you practice this skill.”

“Let’s see how much confidence you had, when the moment comes, you will surely choose another boxing skill again!”

Yuan Hong hastily left after finishing the registration, he was eager to find a quiet place to practice this >.

Tl: means aiming too high.

In this novel, we will follow what the author term in ranking their cultivation,

They cultivate five things

Qi, spiritual roots, essence, dao, longevity

长生/changsheng/long life but I will leave it as longevity.

For the mean time I will term it as

Qi cultivator

And so on

Each of this was further divided into nine layers

In this novel, it was specified as a heavy layer or weight layer but I prefer using heavy than weight.

I must cultivate my qi into nine heavy layer
Or a Qi cultivator in the nine heavy layer.

I’m still reading the raws, trying to find some suitable ranking, racking my brain haha.
