Game Universe: Awakening and Enhancing Everything at the Start

Chapter 72 The Big Dipper Separates

Several hours later, the moon was high in the sky.

Xing Yu looked at the moon in the sky with a somewhat blank expression, while Li Yong on the other side also looked dazed and confused.

Huang Hong looked at this and then at that, his expression somewhat innocent.

After a long while, Xing Yu let out a breath and sighed, "Junior Brother, although I know you wouldn't lie to me, there's still a huge difference between just hearing about it and seeing it with your own eyes. 'Learning in a short time and mastering in a short time,' I never thought there really were such geniuses in the world. In just a few hours, they covered the distance that took us several years to cover."

Li Yong looked at his junior brother with admiration. As for jealousy? Not at all!

Because the gap is just too big.

The three brothers chatted for a while longer before Huang Hong went back to rest.

The next morning, Huang Hong was woken up by Li Yong. When he arrived in the living room, he saw more than ten books on the table.

At Xing Yu's prompting, Huang Hong flipped through the books, and a look of delight immediately appeared on his face.

Xing Yu smiled and said, "These were just sent by my master this morning. They are all very precious martial arts manuals, including the core techniques of many top schools. You can take a good look at them."

As Xing Yu said, these classic texts contain not only the Thunder Dragon Fist's [Thunder Dragon Breathing Method], [Thunder Fang Thrust], and [Dragon Thunder Fall], but also the Fierce Tiger Fist's [Tiger Bone Body Forging Technique], [Earth-Splitting Claw], and [Hungry Tiger Pounce].

There are also many martial arts classics that Huang Hong has never come into contact with.

For example, the Xuan Turtle Fist is a style that emphasizes absolute physical defense based on the concept of "fortification and scorched earth". Its core techniques include the "Xuan Turtle Shell" and "Tidal Breathing", and its signature moves are the "Vortex Shield Counter" and "Armor Shattering Strike".

The dozen or so books represent more than a dozen powerful skills, all of which are of rare quality.

Even for skills that Huang Hong had forcibly comprehended, these books still serve as important points of comparison and reference.

After exchanging brief pleasantries with his two senior brothers, Huang Hong took the books back to his room to study them.

Learning the skills from the book wasn't too difficult for Huang Hong, but this time he didn't immediately add points to strengthen them; instead, he planned to practice on his own for a few days.

As Huang Hong comprehended more and more martial arts techniques, he developed a sense of having a high-dimensional, all-encompassing perspective on all kinds of skills and techniques.

Even without any energy points, Huang Hong was confident that he could level up the newly learned skills to the maximum level in a short time.

This process of gradually building something from nothing, from simple to sophisticated, is a completely different experience from simply adding energy.

While Huang Hong was practicing new martial arts techniques, some more profound martial arts knowledge would flash through his mind from time to time. Whenever this happened, his proficiency in these skills would increase significantly.

This is where Huang Hong's accumulated martial arts wisdom comes into play.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and Huang Hong did not continue this novel experience. Instead, he leveled up all the newly learned skills to the maximum level.

When Xie Juxia saw Huang Hong, his eyes lit up slightly, and he smiled with satisfaction: "Not bad, not bad. In just a few days, I didn't expect you to have made such progress."

"You should already know the difference between the Big Dipper and the Southern Dipper. The Big Dipper focuses on acupoint striking and internal energy cultivation. Even with your talent and comprehension, it would be difficult for you to grasp any of its secrets in a short time. Moreover, the danger of this matter is unpredictable. Even so, do you still want to go?"

Huang Hong nodded earnestly and said, "Please grant my request, Master."

Xie Juxia said, "Alright! In that case, you should stay with your two senior brothers; they will tell you what to do."

Xie Juxia did not stop Huang Hong from persisting. After all, since ancient times, martial artists have grown up in battle. Those who can become grandmasters without experiencing fighting and rely solely on seclusion and hard training are rare, though not nonexistent.

After the conversation, Xie Juxia left in a hurry. He had a lot of things to do, and he had made a special trip back for Huang Hong.

Xing Yu patted Huang Hong on the shoulder and said, "Now that Junior Brother has made his decision, let's set off now."

The three mounted their horses and headed west towards Wolong Road.

Two days later, the three arrived at the meeting point, where many martial arts experts were already waiting.

In short, their plan this time was very simple: to quietly gather their superior forces and defeat the Beidou branch.

Of course, it sounds simple, but in practice, many details need to be considered, such as how to prevent the Beidou branch from resorting to desperate measures and ensuring they cannot harm the Marquis; and how to ensure that all the Beidou branch members are left behind once and for all...

Huang Hong and his group were on one of the blockade lines, which was also the most likely escape route for those members of the Beidou branch.

Standing atop the mountain, one could vaguely see a forest of banners in the distance. When the appointed time arrived, a riot broke out and escalated.

The most eye-catching event was the battle between two grandmasters, whose mere aftershocks easily leveled the surrounding area.

Looking into the distance, it seems as if two enormous shadows, reaching to the sky and connecting to the earth, are locked in a fierce battle, a sight to behold.

"Let's go, someone's coming this way. Don't stray too far from me later."

Xing Yu's words startled Huang Hong. He looked towards the mountain path in the distance and could vaguely see several dark figures rapidly approaching their defensive line.

The two returned to the defensive line, and soon the dark figures came into view.

When Huang Hong and his group saw the members of the Beidou branch, the latter naturally noticed them as well.

They had anticipated being intercepted midway, and they saw that instead of hesitating, they accelerated and rushed toward the defense line.

More than a dozen skilled fighters immediately approached the fleeing members of the Beidou branch, forming a tacit encirclement.

Suddenly, a member of the Beidou branch stepped forward from the crowd, shouting softly, "Beidou Hundred-Crack Fist!"

His arms moved at high speed, turning into layers of afterimages that swept towards the people in front of him. These interceptors did not expect that this member of the Beidou branch was so powerful. Each of them was instantly hit in several acupoints, causing their blood and qi circulation to be disrupted, which led to their subsequent movements being distorted.

This seemingly insignificant difference was extremely fatal to a martial artist. The Beidou branch member pressed his advantage relentlessly, his hands forming a circle, his movements shifting from hard to soft, his fist piercing through the defenses of several interceptors and striking their weak points.

It all happened slowly, but the outcome was decided the moment they made contact. Several interceptors were hit by the soft fist, coughing up blood and flying backward, and a gap appeared in the interception net.

Just as the members of the Beidou branch were preparing to continue their escape through the gap, a tall figure blocked their way. It was Li Yong, Huang Hong's second senior brother.
