Chapter 113 The Path of Martial Arts
Dong Fang did not stay for long.
After he left, Chu Nan walked around the ward a few more times until he was covered in sweat and felt that he did not have any strength left in his body. Then, he lay on the bed again.
The recovery of his muscles required a large amount of time. With Chu Nan’s current situation, it was not wise to be too anxious in the early stage and he could only take it slow. Therefore, he could not put in more effort in this aspect. After lying on the bed, Chu Nan started to consider the problem.
The reason why he chose to withdraw from West Cloud Academy was not only because he wanted to focus on preparing to register for Star Cloud Academy, but also because Chu Nan felt that the standard of martial arts education in West Cloud Academy was not high enough. If he continued to stay here, he would probably not be able to learn anything useful and it would not be helpful to him.
However, now that the West Cloud Academy had promised to give him special arrangements and send teachers to specially guide him, this was a very tempting suggestion.
Chu Nan’s greatest flaw was that he lacked a complete martial arts inheritance, causing him to always leave behind various flaws and regrets in the process of increasing his strength. Even now, there was a huge problem like being unable to break through the Cosmic Heaven’s Gate.
If he could only have someone specially guide him in the future, it should allow him to improve slightly. However, after thinking about it seriously, Chu Nan felt that this suggestion was not very reliable.
His current situation was actually completely different from most martial artists. It could even be said to be the only existence.
No martial artist would have such a powerful data ability like him, so no one could give him any opinions in this aspect.
The way to complement his powerful data ability in cultivating martial arts could only depend on Chu Nan’s own exploration.
The most obvious example was Chu Nan’s meridians.
Chu Nan focused his mind and a trace of Internal Breath flowed out of his dantian and quickly circulated in his meridians for a cycle. Then, he circulated the second cycle, the third cycle…
However, after completing the Third Revolution Internal Breath, Chu Nan smiled bitterly in his mind.
Not to mention anything else, just in the case of the most important Internal Breath cultivation method for a martial artist, no one could give him suitable guidance.
There were many martial artists who cultivated the Nine Revolutions Technique, but there were very few who could cultivate to the third level like him. Those who could cultivate to the fourth level were even rarer.
Of course, it was impossible for West Cloud Academy to find a martial artist who had cultivated to the fourth or even higher to guide him. It was even more impossible for them to take out an Internal Breath cultivation method better than the Nine Revolutions Technique for him to cultivate.
Moreover, even if West Cloud Academy really had such a good Internal Breath cultivation method and was willing to give it to Chu Nan, it was too late for him to start cultivating now.
As for external martial techniques… In front of Chu Nan’s powerful data ability, low-level external martial techniques were meaningless unless an extremely special martial technique like the “Hong Clan’s Long Fist” could appear again.
The highest level martial technique that West Cloud Academy opened to students was only a C-rank martial technique. Even if there was another hidden technique, it was probably a B-rank martial technique at most. It was not very attractive to Chu Nan.
When he thought of a B-rank martial technique, Chu Nan’s mind stirred. He opened his personal terminal and a martial technique information appeared on the virtual screen. This was the detailed information of a B-rank martial technique, the Wind God’s Forest Crossing Leg Technique. If it was released, it would definitely make countless martial artists envious.
However, every time he saw this martial technique, Chu Nan would only sneer in his mind.
This Wind God’s Forest Crossing Leg Technique was Mu Yutong’s reward. According to the promise Mu Yutong had made at the opening ceremony of the finals of the West Cloud Planet’s martial arts competition, because Chu Nan had obtained the other runner-up teams below the age of 20, according to the promise, he would obtain a B-rank martial technique rewarded by Mu Yutong
Mu Yutong had indeed fulfilled this promise. Previously, when Zheng Yuanlin came to visit Chu Nan, he had brought this Wind God’s Forest Crossing Leg Technique over and imported it into Chu Nan’s personal terminal through a private channel. It could be said that he had truly handed it to him.
However…
“What’s the use of this?” Chu Nan shook his head and turned off his personal terminal.
The “Wind God’s Forest Crossing Leg Technique” was indeed a B-rank martial technique. From the information introduction, its power was extraordinary. However, this was only a very ordinary external martial technique that was not outstanding in a B-rank martial technique. It was even less meaningful to Chu Nan.
Even if he grasped this martial technique, because of his weak foundation, it was very difficult to increase his strength much.
To a young martial artist like him, using a cultivation method within a sect was clearly much more useful than an external martial technique.
Even just some precise guidance from Mu Yutong, a Star-Grade Martial Artist, was much better than just a martial technique. However, Mu Yutong did not give anything and only gave Chu Nan the Wind God’s Forest Crossing Leg Technique. Although he had fulfilled his promise, it was not very helpful to
him.
This convinced Chu Nan again.
On the path of martial arts, one could not rely on others.
If he wanted to become a truly powerful martial artist, the best way was to walk his own
path!
Chu Nan took a deep breath and threw away all his distracting thoughts. Another strand of Internal Breath flowed out from his dantian.
After his meridians recovered, Chu Nan immediately started cultivating the Nine Revolutions Technique.
Now, not only were the meridians in his body basically completely recovered, but his Internal Breath had also completely recovered, and it was even better than before.
Previously, in terms of the strength of his Internal Breath, if he did not undergo the Second or Third Revolution Internal Breath, he would at most be comparable to a third-stage Overlord Body Martial Artist.
However, after recovering from his injuries this time, even without the Second Revolution Internal Breath, he had already surpassed ordinary third-stage Overlord Body Martial Artists and was even comparable to fourth-stage Overlord Body Martial Artists.
If he underwent the Second Revolution, he could match a fifth-stage Overlord Body Martial Artist like Luo Li.
With the increase of the Third Revolution, he could even fight initial-stage Internal Breath Realm Martial Artists.
As for the Fourth Revolution… Chu Nan did not try it, but he could deduce from the data that he would match second-stage Internal Breath Martial Artists like Saha and Cardu.
Of course, this did not mean that Chu Nan’s true strength had really reached the height of an initial-stage or second-stage Internal Breath Realm Martial Artist.
Because he had not been able to become an Internal Breath Martial Artist, he was ultimately unable to completely circulate his Internal Breath. The flexibility of using his Internal Breath was much inferior to true Internal Breath Martial Artists.
“Mu Yutong, Norman, and Rengal think that I’m unable to break through the Cosmic Heaven’s Gate because I was unable to complete the Overlord Body Tempering before I became an adult and became an Internal Breath Martial Artist. If I become an Internal Breath Martial Artist now, what will they think?”
Chu Nan naturally understood that it was not so easy to become an Internal Breath Martial Artist. Firstly, he needed to have a sufficiently powerful Internal Breath foundation. The strength of his current basic Internal Breath was equivalent to a third-stage Overlord Body Realm Martial Artist, and he was still far away from an initial-stage Internal Breath Realm Martial Artist.
It was almost impossible to make up for such a huge difference in a short period of timeunless he could immediately break through to the fourth level of the Nine Revolutions Technique.
“What’s the difference between the fourth and third levels?”
Chu Nan frowned and thought for a moment before opening his personal terminal again. He logged into the Milky Way Network and easily found the information on the first to seventh level of the Nine Revolutions Technique left behind by Su Xuansheng.
After carefully reading the fourth level information a few times and seriously comparing it to the third level, Chu Nan revealed a trace of understanding and nodded lightly.
“I see.”
