Chapter 184: Chapter 98: Unparalleled in the World Five Animal Frolics! Qi Blood Four Transformation Turns into Wolf Smoke!_2
Su Changkong had practiced the Five Animal Frolics for several years, and to some extent, his body had completely adapted to it. The changes it brought to his body became smaller and smaller. Now, what Su Changkong needed to do was to push his body out of this comfortable period of adaptation!
“Based on the Five Animal Frolics, absorb the essence of the Form-Intention Fist and create a set of ‘Martial Five Animal Frolics’!”
Su Changkong’s mind was agile, and he understood more and more.
The Five Animal Frolics, primarily focused on health preservation, were the ‘Scholarly Five Animal Frolics’, and what Su Changkong needed to do was to create the corresponding ‘Martial Five Animal Frolics’, specifically for actual combat!
Combining scholarly and martial practices could also lead his body out of the ‘Adaptation Stagnation Period’, allowing his body to progress like when he first practiced the Five Animal Frolics!
“Exciting! Too exciting! My body is feeling ‘unadapted’ to the Five Animal Frolics again, just like when I first started practicing them!”
Su Changkong tried to change the Five Animal Frolics from scholarly to martial, and as he practiced to the extreme, he clearly felt exhaustion, muscle soreness, and his tendons and bones quivering. His whole body was sweating, yet he was extremely joyful, proving that his path was correct!
Five Animal Frolics. Shattered Body Tiger!
Five Animal Frolics. Dazzling Crane!
Although he was still practicing the Five Animal Frolics, Su Changkong’s moves had become different from before, brimming with a murderous aura, and each move was lethal. This was the change brought about by integrating the essence of the Form-Intention Fist, dividing the Five Animal Frolics into scholarly and martial versions, one for health preservation, the other for actual combat.
Five Animal Frolics (8th realm Transcendental 31%), Five Animal Frolics (8th realm Transcendental 37%)…
It was almost visible to the naked eye that Su Changkong’s Five Animal Frolics were improving every day. Even though he had already reached a level that made others look up to him, he was now progressing as rapidly as when he first learned the Five Animal Frolics!
This is the advantage of martial arts skills. With understanding, there will be a metamorphosis-like realization. Conversely, Inner Strength and even Martial Arts Realm require accumulation bit by bit.
Of course, in reality, Su Changkong’s many years of rigorous practice of the Five Animal Frolics to a Transcendental realm was also a form of accumulation, an accumulation of martial arts knowledge!
Time trickled away second by second, and there were not small changes within the Giant Whale Gang. Some questioned why Sikong Yong, the Gang Leader, did not come out of seclusion to take control of the situation, while others suggested that since the Young Gang Leader’s life or death was uncertain, it might be better to elect a new Gang Leader. Without a leader, the dragons are headless. Only with a united heart can they stabilize the situation and get the Giant Whale Gang back on track.
Others believed that Sikong Zhan was not dead but had fallen into the hands of the Sea Pirates and wanted to gather a force to go out and annihilate the pirates!
Even outsiders could see that the current Giant Whale Gang looked like it was about to fall apart.
The higher-ups of the Giant Whale Gang were all flustered, comforting the disciples within the gang. Since Sikong Yong, the Gang Leader, was aloof from worldly affairs, they also felt the need to elect a new Gang Leader.
Without Sikong Zhan, Deputy Gang Leader Meng Sang, undoubtedly became the top candidate in most people’s eyes.
Although Meng Sang was a man to hold grudges, being able to sit in the position of Deputy Gang Leader naturally meant he was capable and resourceful!
Meng Sang also began to secretly contact other Hall Masters within the gang, promising them benefits and seeking their support in preparation for his ascension to the Gang Leader’s throne.
The Sikong Family and the entire Leader Faction were likewise restless and anxious, and doubts began to arise as well. Had their Gang Leader really met with an accident, as rumors suggested outside? The news of Sikong Yong’s demise seven or eight years ago was known to only a few, all of whom kept their mouths shut, not even telling their own family members.
And all of this chaotic mess had nothing to do with Su Changkong; he was immersed in the purest form of martial arts cultivation, forgetting both himself and the world, and aside from eating and resting, he spent all his time practicing martial arts!
During this time, Sikong Huang, concerned about Su Changkong’s situation and fearing he might overexert himself, visited him two or three times. Each time they met, Su Changkong was brimming with vigor and had undergone a transformation in spirit.
Under such enormous pressure, not only was there no sign of him being crushed, but all his potential seemed to be stimulated instead, becoming stronger the more he was challenged!
Time passed, and three months flew by in a flash.
“Boom!”
Early one morning, three months later, a rumbling noise came from within the tightly closed great hall, as if a monster were moving inside.
“Roar!”
Su Changkong was practicing the Five Animal Frolics. Each of his moves contained a surge of fist strength, each distinct from the others. In the air, the sounds of tiger roars and dragon howls were incessant. His body seemed to be split into many parts, each demonstrating a boxing technique that left onlookers astounded.
The sounds of tiger roars, deer bellows, bear growls, ape cries, and bird calls merged into one as Su Changkong continuously threw punches. The postures of the five animals, whether in flexibility or in spirit, were fully embodied. At times they were leisurely and playful, swimming freely; at other times, they furiously charged, fierce and terrifying!
The combination of movement and stillness, essence, and spirit were unified!
If outsiders were to see Su Changkong practicing his boxing, they would surely be stunned, sweating profusely with astonishment, unable to believe that such profound and mysterious boxing techniques could exist in the world, truly unparalleled, unable to find a second to match!
“Crack, crack, crack!”
Not only that, as Su Changkong delved deeper into the Five Animal Frolics, his tendons and bones sang together, his muscles trembled, and the Qi and Blood in his body, which had already reached the limit, surged and flowed. Sweats on his body evaporated from his pores, turning into a red mist, solidifying into a thin veil.
With a swoosh!
The speed of the Qi and Blood circulation reached an extreme. The medicinal power of the three Strong Blood Pills had been completely assimilated by Su Changkong. His heart pounded like a heavy hammer on a drum, reverberating ceaselessly. The speed at which Qi and Blood circulated was pushed beyond its limits. Su Changkong’s veins bulged, his skin turned reddish, his Qi and Blood boiled, and his body felt like it was about to split open!
