Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World novel Chapter 58

Chapter 58: Chapter 58 Great Cold

The effect of the meat from the demon wolf began to take hold. Though the demon blood within this wolf wasn’t particularly pure, its flesh was perfectly suited for someone like Gu Sheng, a martial arts practitioner in the stage of tempering his skin and membrane.

Gu Sheng felt waves of heat rising within him.

Even though it was the height of winter, with snow falling heavily, he sensed an oppressive warmth as boundless energy surged through his body.

"Hah!"

Gu Sheng let out a spirited shout, assuming a fist stance.

"Boulders Rolling!"

"Iron Fist Across the River!"

"King of Force Casting Stones!"

...

One move after another, slowly unfolding. Although they appeared slow and soft, the strikes were as weighty as a mountain, imbued with immense and overwhelming force.

The shift between practice and combat styles was instantaneous.

If it shifted to combat, it would unleash earth-shattering power—fierce, domineering!

Gu Sheng’s eyes gleamed brightly.

With the assistance of demon wolf meat, his energy was boundless, and his practice was in an unprecedentedly optimal state!

The skin and membrane of his body throbbed and trembled, waves of sharp pain coursing through him, bringing both joy and exhilaration. Yet what delighted him most was the boiling, subtle transformation of power surging through his fists as he practiced!

The Iron Stone Fist’s Small Success was within reach!

Gu Sheng devoted himself wholly to his training, relentlessly repeating his moves.

Fists as heavy as a mountain crashing down, fists as swift as a raging river!

Sweat vaporized in waves, forming wisps of white mist, which gradually grew dense.

At a certain moment—

Gu Sheng suddenly threw a punch, power bursting forth as though casting an iron boulder that slammed into the wooden post before him.

Bam!!

A dull thud echoed as a deep fist imprint appeared on the post, with cracks starting to form.

Gu Sheng’s eyes were filled with joy.

He opened his panel.

The martial arts section had visibly changed.

Iron Stone Fist (Small Success 0%)!

"Two months of grueling training, and the Iron Stone Fist has finally reached Small Success. Compared to when I first began, my power is at least double. The transformation is astonishing. No wonder so few in the estate manage to achieve Small Success in Iron Stone Fist."

Gu Sheng felt a faint sensation and was immediately filled with awe.

Twice the power meant his efficiency in tempering his skin and membrane had doubled from now on!

With the addition of five portions of Body Refining Ointment each month, what originally would have taken three years to advance to the Stone Skin Realm could now be achieved in just over half a year!

The speed of improvement was genuinely transformative.

Moreover, achieving Small Success in Iron Stone Fist wasn’t merely symbolic. Doubling his power and pairing it with the First-level Chopping Wood’s tear effect meant Gu Sheng could likely defeat someone like Gu Xiaojiang, who had just entered the Stone Skin Realm, with a single axe strike.

Even without using Chopping Wood, merely relying on the Small Success Iron Stone Fist would likely leave a regular person with shattered bones and sinews.

Gu Sheng’s enthusiasm surged.

His fist techniques evolved, and his whole being erupted like a tiger leaving its cage—fierce and domineering. Shadows of his fists overlapped as he relentlessly attacked the wooden post with strikes, whether fists or elbows, producing a series of deep ’bam, bam, bam, bam’ sounds.

His fist momentum kept building.

Gu Sheng leaped high, delivering a downward punch as if a mountain was crashing down, slamming it fiercely into the wooden post.

The post, already covered in fist imprints, finally reached its breaking point. With a resounding snap, it split into two!

Gu Sheng gazed at the fragmented remains scattered across the ground, his eyes brimming with joy.

From the beginning of his martial training to now—

He finally felt a taste of the true power of martial arts. Though he wasn’t yet a martial artist and his body hadn’t fully transformed, his strength was already so formidable. Once he truly became a Stone Skin martial artist, paired with Small Success Iron Stone Fist, his combat power would surpass that of an average Stone Skin martial artist!

"Hiss!"
