Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World novel Chapter 113

Chapter 113: Chapter 95 Great Success Serpent Breath! Enlightenment of the Truth!

Within the courtyard.

Gu Sheng was in the midst of cultivating.

At that moment, his body twisted continuously in an eerie manner, paired with cold and indifferent eyes and the faint sound of snake hisses. If someone passed by outside, they might even think a giant snake had entered the Gu family’s home!

Ever since the Shapeshifting Technique reached the Perfect Realm, Gu Sheng discovered that it could be integrated with the Snake Breath Skill for simultaneous cultivation, creating a mutually enhancing effect that also saved time.

The Snake Breath Skill is a method that mimics the breathing pattern of snakes.

At the Small Success realm, it enables complete concealment of one’s aura, making it difficult for others of the same realm to detect.

But Gu Sheng had far surpassed the Small Success realm.

He moved sinuously; occasionally his motions resembled a snake. Despite delivering immensely powerful punches, his power remained subtle and elusive.

His eyes were bright, fully immersed in his training.

He imagined himself as a venomous snake gliding silently through the jungle, suddenly erupting with ferocity, baring its fangs!

Unconsciously.

Gu Sheng’s breathing had completely disappeared. A Jade Skin Realm martial artist could breathe through their skin membrane pores, but now, Gu Sheng had ceased even this superficial respiratory method, transitioning entirely to inner breathing.

Only occasionally did some faint, imperceptible disturbances arise, but such minute movements were utterly undetectable by martial artists; the sensing capabilities of the Jade Skin Realm weren’t this refined.

It was unclear how much time had passed.

The moon hung high at its zenith.

Pale moonlight spilled through the courtyard, scattering over Gu Sheng’s body, faintly speckled. His bare torso gleamed under the moon, unmistakably striking, with sweat outlining his perfectly sculpted physique.

After achieving the Jade Skin Realm, Gu Sheng’s skin had become visibly fairer, completely shedding the rustic appearance of a rural farm boy.

If he were to abandon his usual disguise, anyone who saw him would surely praise him as a refined and handsome young man.

Yet Gu Sheng’s current state carried a hint of peculiarity.

He had ceased practicing the Shapeshifting Technique and shifted to cultivating the Iron Stone Fist. But the eerie aspect was that, despite Gu Sheng’s body darting and pivoting in explosive movements — visually akin to a ferocious tiger charging downhill, bold and relentless, with gusts of air swirling —

the actual sound was strangely minimal.

If one didn’t listen attentively, they might fail to even catch the occasional whiffs of rushing air.

The discord between sight and sound easily gave rise to surreal, uncanny impressions; if an ordinary person witnessed this, they might even believe they had encountered a ghost!

This was Gu Sheng combining the Snake Breath Skill with his Iron Stone Fist cultivation.

At this moment.

His state was nearing perfection; it took considerable time before he exhaled a breath. Power surged throughout his entire body, now fully concealed such that even Jade Skin Realm martial artists would struggle to sense it.

Suddenly.

Imagine during a fight, an opponent perceives an incoming punch as moderately powerful, only for it to suddenly explode with several times its force. Taken off guard, the enemy could easily expose fatal openings.

[Name]: Gu Sheng

[Age]: 16

[Realm]: Refining Skin Realm (Jade Skin)

[Martial Arts]: Chopping Wood Technique (First-level Tear Effect), Archery Technique (First-level Penetration Effect), Iron Stone Fist (Perfect 79%), Shapeshifting Technique (Perfect 47%), Snake Breath Skill (Great Achievement 0%)

...

Looking at his progress panel.

Gu Sheng couldn’t help but smile.

Five martial arts, with even the weakest one surpassing the Great Achievement Realm — this was something unimaginable for others.

Ordinary individuals who attained Small Success in a single martial art could already stand out. Those who reached Great Achievement in one art could become renowned experts, akin to Gu Jingang.

Currently, Gu Jingang was undoubtedly the foremost expert of Gu’s Manor.

Since consuming the Blood Strengthening Pill two years ago, he had successfully broken through to the Blood Refining Small Success stage. With the family’s favor granting him substantial resources, he steadily approached the Blood Refining Great Achievement stage.

Although Gu Changming cultivated Blood Refining faster, nearing the Blood Refining Realm’s pinnacle, under the enhancement of the Great Achievement Iron Stone Fist, even Gu Changming stood no chance against Gu Jingang.

Gu Jingang’s influence within Gu’s Manor continued to grow stronger.
