Chapter 134: Chapter 103: Red Lotus Mode! Who Says You Can’t Practice Neo Martial Arts Without Banned Drugs? (4K)

Riding back to the manor on horseback, Xue Jing returned Wind Eater to the stable and entered the main residence, heading to the martial arts room on the fifth floor.

He sat cross-legged on the clean rubber floor, which was cleaned daily, but instead of starting to practice, he took out his phone, swiped a few times on the desktop, and opened up an app with a strange icon on the last page.

A black nine-leaf clover encircling a centrally located diamond made up a pattern that resembled a flower.

It was an encrypted chat app used internally by The Sixth Agency, sent to him by Void Blade three days ago… It’s a castrated version, said to have many more functions in its complete form, but civilian smartphones can’t handle it, so for now it only has chat and file transfer capabilities.

Upon opening, it showed a chat interface very similar to WeChat, with only Void Blade as a contact, whose avatar was surprisingly a chibi-style teddy bear, which was very cute.

Xue Jing clicked into his chat with her and scrolled up to see the document files that Void Blade had sent over at different times.

They were all related to the Intersecting Boundaries.

“The exploration mission for the new Intersecting Boundaries will have to be carried out in at most seven days.”

“In three days, I first need to go to Maple City for a U19 elimination tournament… I also don’t know how long the tournament will last, whether it will be possible to avoid a scheduling conflict.”

Xue Jing pinched his chin.

Wu Youqing had arranged an agent for him in Maple City, so he would ask about it when the time came.

Xue Jing shook his head and opened a document named ‘New Intersecting Boundaries.’

[Serial Number Tentative: R278 Intersecting Boundary]

[Level Tentative: C+]

[External Area: 26.8 square kilometers]

[Internal Area: Based on the estimations of personnel who entered, approximately between 300 to 900 square kilometers; misjudgment is not excluded, it is recommended to carry more than ten ‘monitors’…]

[Entry Conditions:…]

[On November 23rd, remains of a humanoid creature settlement were discovered, suspected to have a significant level of civilization]

[On November 25th, unusually frequent thunderstorms were observed, suspected presence of dragon-type creatures, temporarily elevating the level to C+]

…

Due to the strict entry conditions, exploring the new Intersecting Boundaries seemed to be quite difficult, with limited information available in the documents; Xue Jing quickly finished reading it all.

After closing it, he opened the next document.

The document was titled — Dragon Breed Information.

It seemed that because dragon-type creatures were suspected to appear in the new Intersecting Boundaries, Void Blade immediately sent this information over.

[Dragon Breed, king of the Sky-Dwelling Species, the ‘Proud Children of the Sky’ deeply beloved by the heavens…]

As Xue Jing read on, he spent over half an hour carefully reviewing the document, ensuring he remembered everything before closing it.

“Galloping through the skies, spitting thunder, a creature deeply loved by the heavens and embodying freedom… interesting.”

After pondering for a while, Xue Jing continued to look through other documents.

After finishing all the reading, he digested the information for a moment and stretched lazily.

“I’ll think about the Intersecting Boundaries later, there’s something else I need to do now.”

Xue Jing checked his current mental state.

Although he was still somewhat lethargic, he had recovered a fair amount and could continue with consciousness simulation.

He had an idea he wanted to test to see if it would work…

Xue Jing took a deep breath, focused his mind, and unleashed his imagination.

Countless pixelated cubes swept across the heavens and earth, forming the grassland scenery of the hills behind North City District.

Then with a thought, he appeared within the scene himself.

After confirming that the data of his body was correct, Xue Jing looked forward.

The pixelated cubes coalesced and spun, and a young-looking man, about seventeen or eighteen years old, appeared before him.

It was Ning Yuantai.

“Thump—”

Following the loud sound of a heartbeat, ‘Ning Yuantai’s’ skin turned crimson all over, and swirls of red airflow began to emerge around his body, encasing him within.

Xue Jing circled around the enraged Ning Yuantai, observing him closely for a while and nodding in satisfaction.

“All the effort of deliberately gathering data for my fighting skills wasn’t in vain, the reproduction is flawless.”

“Red Lotus Volcanic Stream, show me again what you’re made of.”

With a thought, Ning Yuantai sprang into action.

With his body trembling, he assumed the Straight Punch Starting Pose, and after gathering energy for a moment, he hurled a punch towards Xue Jing’s chest.

The boiling Power within him, like volcanic magma, brought about an explosive force that spread waves of red energy with the fist, which at a glance, seemed peerless in strength.

Xue Jing had no intention of defending himself, instead, he closed his eyes, emptied his body, and concentrated his spirit.

“Bang!”

A punch hit dead center in his chest, producing a monstrous roar, and Xue Jing, who hadn’t even utilized the most basic Power defense, heard a crack as his sternum shattered, and like a golf ball being teed off, he was sent flying at an angle.

[Visualization True] gave him such powerful control over his thoughts that he was able to ignore the pain and calm his mind, focusing intently on unraveling the secrets of that punch.

“Employing a bizarre way of channeling energy, only possible due to an altered internal body structure of a mutated human, combined with an extremely high body temperature to achieve a boiling eruptive force like that of volcanic lava.”

Xue Jing mentally assessed.

“Neo Martial Arts truly are remarkable… The high-end training of Old Martial Arts is all about using artistic conception and spirit to influence one’s reality, to exert the power of great forces through the essence of the human body.”

“Neo Martial Arts, however, disregard artistic conception entirely and directly alter the body on a material level into something powerful.”

“Red Lotus Volcanic Stream… To endow the body with the force of a volcanic eruption, a natural disaster in itself—if this Forbidden Skill could ultimately transmute the body to match the power of a volcanic eruption, then it could indeed be said to far surpass Old Martial Arts…”
