Chapter 429 -398 Martial Method_1

“We’re doomed!”

The hearts of the five Wild Martial Artists plummeted.

Although Xu Mu only killed a minor county magistrate from Yuefeng County, the person represented the Da Xia officialdom.

Having killed a court official, the League of Martial Artists would undoubtedly take action, and those who assisted would also be implicated.

Now they were really in deep trouble.

Is this guy an idiot?

Even if he killed the son of the Kang Family, there was still room for recourse. But killing a government official was definitely a point of no return.

Xu Mu didn’t care about what the others were thinking, and directly ordered them to hand over their Martial Methods for cultivation.

Faced with Xu Mu, who could kill them with a single blow, the five didn’t dare to resist and obediently complied.

Xu Mu then commanded the soldiers to clean up the ruins, rearrange lodgings for the two of them. After he casually killed a few instigators, everyone started to behave like obedient children.

“He has killed the County Magistrate, the League of Martial Artists won’t let him go. We should be patient for now,” the five tried to console themselves.

After everything was settled, Zhang Ergou was still in a state of shock.

The events happening before his eyes somewhat shattered his worldview. Just a moment ago, they were fighting to the death, but now they were living peacefully together.

If he didn’t confirm it over and over again, he would have thought he was dreaming.

“You’re incredible, young master!”

Zhang Ergou looked at Xu Mu with admiration in his eyes.

“Enough of the chit chat, go and rest now,” Xu Mu waved his hand and continued to examine the secretive Martial Method he had in his hand, not bothering to look up as he spoke.

“What if they catch me after I leave you to threaten you?” Zhang Ergou hesitated.

“Don’t worry!” Xu Mu shook his head and laughed, “If they dare to use you to threaten me, I will kill you first.”

“…”

Alright! Pretend I didn’t ask!

Zhang Ergou obediently left Xu Mu’s room and went back to his own room.

Compared to the rooms at the inn, his current room was much more luxurious. Not only were there various daily necessities, but there were also four beautiful maids waiting on him, which made Zhang Ergou’s heart itch.

He had lived half his life without enjoying this kind of treatment. Not to mention beautiful maids, he seldom even saw beautiful women.

And these maids, with their shy looks ready to be picked by him, were obviously sent here by those people to deliberately curry favor with him.

Even if he wanted to pluck the radishes, these maids probably wouldn’t refuse.

If he really could have a round of one-on-four, he would die happy. But keeping in mind that Xu Mu was living nearby, he resisted this tempting idea, let all the maids go, and once again hid under the bed.

He was genuinely scared of another sudden attack from them.

…

“Green Wolf Method! Raging Bull Method! Ferocious Bear Method! Bloody Tiger Method! Interesting!”

These four martial methods were contributed by the five people. Two of them practiced the same method, so there were only four.

Xu Mu discovered that these martial methods were a bit like the Body Refinement Realm he practiced during the Qi Cultivation Stage, but with certain differences. The biggest difference was that they needed to rely on the essence and blood of wild beasts to stimulate the energy and blood.

Depending on the type of wild beast’s blood essence used, the martial methods practiced would also vary significantly.

For example, these four martial methods required the use of Green Wolf blood essence, Raging Bull blood essence, Black Bear essence blood, and Bloody Tiger essence blood.

Other than the Bloody Tiger being an eighth-tier wild beast, the other three were ninth-tier wild beasts. The martial artists who used these blood essences were basically low-level martial artists.

The essence blood used and the martial method practiced must be the same, otherwise problems would easily arise. The first problem was a slow progression, and the second was a susceptibility to become possessed, causing the bloodline to run rampage.

If the rampaging bloodline could not be suppressed after it ran wild, it would mutate into a half-human, half-beast monster, just like the Black Bear Spirit that Xu Mu had killed.

According to the five people, the levels of the Wild Martial Artists were divided into ten ranks, from lowest to highest they were: Martial Artist, Martial Master, Grand Martial Master, Martial Spirit, War King, Martial Emperor, Martial Ancestor, Martial Saint, Martial Emperor, and Martial God.

Each level was further divided into early, middle, and late stages.

Among the five who besieged him just now, all of them were of the lowest Martial Artist rank, while the one who was initially dealt with by him, Commander Lu, was of the Martial Master rank. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

Xu Mu made a simple assessment in his mind; the five were on the same level as the early Qi Cultivation stage, while the Commander Lu was in the middle Qi Cultivation stage.

If the later stages were also similar, then the legendary Martial God of this world was only of the Nascent Soul early stage.

Of course, this was just his conjecture, as the cultivators he came into contact with were too few to be a hundred percent sure.

“At least for the time being, no one can threaten me. If I find something wrong later, it won’t be too late to hide.”

Xu Mu picked up one of the martial methods and began to try to practice it without using wild beast essence blood.

This world and the original world environment are different, perhaps this world’s martial methods can enhance his strength more.

It may be useful to leave this world using the martial methods of this world in the future.

According to the introduction of the martial method, the symbol of the Martial Artist realm is the stimulation of energy and the condensation of beast shadows. In the Martial Master realm, the beast shadow would become more solid, and the strength would also become stronger.

The realm of the Grand Martial Master is more solid than the Martial Master, and the speed and strength are stronger.

But when it reaches the Martial Spirit realm, there will be a qualitative change, turning the beast shadow into a real entity that can not only be used to protect the martial artist’s body but can also launch attacks like a wild beast. The most important thing is that it can stimulate the innate abilities of the wild beast.

As for the capabilities of higher ranks like the War King and Martial Emperor, it is beyond the reach of these low-level martial methods.

It took Xu Mu about the time it took to drink a cup of tea to finish reading all the martial methods and remembered them firmly. He then sat still on the spot with his eyes closed.

About half an hour later, a sound like flowing rivers emanated from Xu Mu’s body. A faint red blood mist floated out of his body, encircling him like a red fog.

The energy and blood power took on various forms such as tigers, wolves, bears, and bulls, appearing majestic. However, only Xu Mu knew that this was just a simple manifestation, and it didn’t contain any power of the wild beasts.

After a long time, he opened his eyes, his eyebrows furrowed slightly.

“It still won’t work after all!”

Although he could skip the process of activating energy and blood, without the essence of the wild beast as a foundation, he could not form the so-called beast shadow.

Ordinary Wild Martial Artists condense beast shadows purely through instinct. Not only does it not require any effort, but it also increases their power. However, he, relying on control over his own strength, forced the condensation of the beast shadow, which was not only devoid of any power but also consumed energy. In the end, he concluded that it would be quicker and more satisfying not to stimulate the energy and blood and just use his fists.

“Besides increasing the energy and blood of cultivators and helping to stimulate energy and blood, the essence blood of wild beasts should contain something like divine intent, much like when I practiced Crimson Spirit Jue and condensed a Lifebound Beast spirit!”

Xu Mu analyzed the problem quickly and soon had a great idea.
