Chapter 450: Martial Arts Melting Furnace
Chapter 450: Martial Arts Melting Furnace
The Vigorous Qi of the Muscle-Tendon Changing Classic and Tai Chi Scripture converged into strands of curved lines, revolving around the Nine Yang True Water, Nine Yin True Qi, and Innate True Qi like a Tai Chi.
This created a very subtle balance within the dantian.
Ding Ling frowned, thinking:
"The fusion of the Nine Yin Scripture and Nine Yang Divine Skill seems more challenging than I imagined. Perhaps there will be an opportunity in the future."
For now, it is impossible.
But this time, Ding Ling unexpectedly discovered a subtle change in the library.
As the secret manuals on the bookshelves in the library increased more and more.
Each bookshelf was being filled up.
Yet the bookshelves in the library still seemed endless.
Currently.
Ding Ling wandered through several worlds, learning countless skills, from the real world’s Music, Chess, Calligraphy, and Painting, to hacking and other skills.
From the Three Kingdoms World: Taiqing Talisman, Qing Frost Swordsmanship, Human Emperor Fist, Human Emperor Palm, Human Emperor Spear Technique, Warm Jade Swordsmanship, Moon Shadow Swordsmanship, and so on.
From The Smiling, Proud Wanderer World: Black Blood Divine Needle Technique, Cloud-Piercing Step, Hundred Transformations and Thousand Illusions Hengshan Cloud Mist Thirteen Techniques, etc.
From the Divine Eagle World: One Qi Transforms the Three Pristine Ones, Golden Swan Skill, Frost-Breaking Palm Technique, etc.
These skills were all compiled into secret manuals and placed densely on the shelves!
Moreover, in each world, Ding Ling would intentionally examine secret manuals on cooking, painting, calligraphy, geography, etc., and these manuals, when reaching full level, would also consolidate into volumes in the library.
He had read too many books.
Whether useful or not, thus, now Ding Ling’s foundation is as deep as a mountain, with no difference at all.
And at the moment when the entire Nine Yin Scripture reached full level.
Perhaps it was a quantitative change leading to a qualitative change.
Ding Ling could clearly perceive a furnace slowly forming at the edge of the library.
This furnace seemed like it had always been there.
Just as the secret manuals increased, it seemed to have been unlocked.
The full level of the complete Nine Yin Scripture seemed to have met some condition, allowing it to initially manifest its form.
Ding Ling carefully sensed and comprehended, after a while, he was shocked:
"This furnace can actually refine countless martial arts, skills, absorb their essence, and transform into new Martial Arts!"
After the initial surprise, Ding Ling felt a fervent, joyful anticipation:
"If this is really the case. All the Martial Arts Skills I’ve learned, if thrown into the furnace, what kind of terrifying, heaven-defying Divine Skill would be born?!"
Ding Ling looked forward to it.
Although there was no hint from the library.
But having owned this library for a few years, after careful comprehension, he could also learn some of its uses.
Just like this furnace.
Though it seemed without any instructions, after careful comprehension, Ding Ling could vaguely sense its general use.
"It seems that the skills and secret manuals I’ve learned are still not enough to fully manifest this furnace."
Ding Ling pondered:
"Only when this furnace fully manifests can I use it."
Ding Ling thought about all the Inner Power Heart Methods he had learned; many Inner Power Skills were top-notch, like Dragon Subduing Heart Technique, Toad Skill Inner Power Skills, Cold Ice True Skill, Pure Yang True Skill, etc., which had left almost no trace in the dantian, at most leaving only a faintly discernible Vigorous Qi.
If they were like this, other Techniques were naturally similar.
And the most top-notch Martial Arts Heart Methods like the Muscle-Tendon Changing Classic, Tai Chi Scripture, though retaining a strand of Vigorous Qi, were hard to function effectively.
If these skills were all integrated.
Absorbing the essence.
Refined into a new Divine Skill Secret Manual, and then instantly reaching full level.
Ding Ling thought:
"Wouldn’t I truly become a Divine Being?! A Martial Dao God? A Martial Dao Immortal?"
Ding Ling felt fervent in his heart.
Very much looking forward to it.
He increasingly felt that no matter what secret manuals or skills, he must learn them.
The deeper the foundation, the stronger the secret manuals refined in the future will be! This refining furnace can absorb the essence of any secret manual, even a third-class technique; he could perhaps draw from it a strand of ’fantastical’ thought process, and then based on that thought process form a new Divine Skill Secret Manual?
The specifics. Remain unknown.
But Ding Ling could already imagine his bright future.
"This library not only can instantly reach full level, but with a furnace that can refine various secret manuals into new Divine Skills, it’s hard to say what other functions might become available in the future."
Just unlocking a new function.
Ding Ling guessed.
Perhaps only when the accumulation reaches a certain point, will other features slowly reveal themselves.
After all, there are so many bookshelves here in the library!
If they were all filled, perhaps all functions would be unlocked.
But from Ding Ling’s perspective, this seemed unreachable, simply because there are so many bookshelves.
"This furnace, let’s call it the Martial Arts Melting Furnace for now. If, in the future, it can refine Immortal Dao Skills, could it be renamed the Immortal Dao Furnace?!"
Ding Ling didn’t know whether this furnace could refine Immortal Dao Skills or not.
But Martial Arts Skills certainly were no problem at all.
Nevertheless, since there is a Martial Arts Melting Furnace, he thought that once he ascended to the Immortal Realm and absorbed enough Immortal Dao Skills, a corresponding Immortal Dao Furnace might also appear?
How the facts stand remains to be explored.
Ding Ling thought no more on it.
Standing up.
He thanked Guo Jing.
Guo Jing appeared somewhat dazed, seeing Ding Ling with such an attitude, he couldn’t help but wave his hand, saying:
"Since it’s Elder Gang Leader Hong’s special instruction, I naturally have no reason to refuse. You should thank Elder Gang Leader Hong instead."
"Elder Gang Leader Hong should be thanked, and naturally, Hero Guo should be thanked as well."
Ding Ling thought for a moment, then said:
"I wonder what other Martial Arts Hero Guo knows? If you could impart them together, I would be immensely grateful."
Thinking that the Martial Arts Melting Furnace completely manifests needing more Martial Arts Secret Manuals.
Ding Ling made up his mind.
Moreover.
His shamelessness was greater than before, saying such a thing didn’t feel much.
If he could be taught, great; if not, Ding Ling wouldn’t dwell on it.
"..."
Guo Jing stared bewilderedly at Ding Ling, not expecting this young man to climb the ladder so readily, contemplating on guiding Ding Ling onto the correct path, knowing Xiangyang needed such a strong person to guard it, he was momentarily at a loss for how to refuse, only honestly saying:
"Teaching you other Martial Arts is not impossible. But many of these Martial Arts come from Peach Blossom Island or my master’s legacy.
Teaching you without permission might be inappropriate.
I need to discuss it with my wife.
Of course, if she disagrees, I will still strive to teach you. I only hope you can promise me one thing."
"Please, Hero Guo, say it."
Ding Ling solemnly responded.
"I hope you always stand on the Great Song side. Do not join Mongolia!"
Guo Jing gazed at Ding Ling with radiant eyes:
"Can you do it?"
"Of course."
Ding Ling nodded, saying:
’I have already promised this to Elder Hong long ago. Naturally, there is no reason to go back on my word!’
Besides.
Kublai’s Death Order.
And tasks related to Task 3 etc.
Ding Ling had no reason to stand with Mongolia.
Guo Jing did not know the details, but seeing Ding Ling agreeing so readily, he was overjoyed, knowing Ding Ling’s strength a little, having such a warrior on his side.
The probability of Xiangyang falling sharply decreased!
The future seemed infinitely bright.
Thinking so, Guo Jing couldn’t help but start a conversation with Ding Ling.
The more they talked.
The more Guo Jing was shocked, because Ding Ling indeed excelled in everything - Music, Chess, Calligraphy, Painting, Astronomy, Geography - truly omniscient, omnipotent, omnificent.
So strong!
[You’ve received an E-level Achievement Medal: You’ve won Guo Jing’s profound admiration!]
[Note: Guo Jing, with his heroic spirit, loyalty, bravery, a hero among heroes! Along his journey, few could earn his deep admiration, yet you did so to an exceptional degree.
Your talent was so great it left him dumbfounded, seeing you as a Divine Being!
Your versatility delighted him immensely, filling him with great expectations for you!
Beyond doubt, in the upcoming Xiangyang city defense battle, he will hope for you to turn the tide. Should you truly achieve that, he would undoubtedly hold you in the highest esteem, seeing you as a kindred spirit!]
Upon hearing the prompt sound, Ding Ling knew it was secured.
The next step was simply to defend the city well, and Guo Jing would surely teach him the supreme skills from Peach Blossom Island, the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan, and others!
