Supreme Martial Arts: Unlock Boundless Power!

Chapter 22

The grand courtyard was the earliest establishment in Zhou Family Village. It was from this estate that Zhou Wude painstakingly built Zhou Family Village in Taicang County over the course of several decades, eventually earning the position as one of the three major families in the county. As a result, the Zhou Family Estate held a special place in the hearts of the people in Zhou Family Village.

Now, inside the estate, Zhou Wude dismissed his servants and spoke in a deep voice, "Yi, tell me in detail about your encounter with Hu Bin."

Zhou Yi hesitated for a moment, then recounted the incident of his encounter and battle with Hu Bin. However, he firmly maintained that he had only used the sixth-level Rolling Stone Fist. He didn't mention anything about the seventh-level inner energy, let alone the sixth-level Soft Palm. Of course, he didn't hide the peculiar martial arts technique used by Hu Bin, and he straightforwardly brought out the discovered manual of the Thirty-Six Forms of Mountain-Crushing."

Zhou Wude took the manual, flipping through it for a while. Zhou Quanxin and Zhou Yi stood beside him, refraining from interrupting the old patriarch's contemplation.

After a long while, Zhou Wude closed the book, closed his eyes slightly, and muttered a few words under his breath. Finally, he let out a long sigh and said, "As expected, just as I suspected. Hehe, when I heard that Hu Bin had injured the two Xu family juniors, I already guessed that he must have learned a manual of innate combat techniques, and this is one of them."

Zhou Yi was slightly stunned and asked, "Grandfather, what are innate combat techniques?"

Zhou Wude chuckled wryly and said, "Yi, you don't need to concern yourself with that for now. I will tell you when your inner energy cultivation reaches the tenth level."

Zhou Yi sighed with a troubled expression and reluctantly agreed. Reaching the tenth level of inner energy was no easy task. He glanced at the manual, wanting to say something, but in the end, he remained silent.

However, his subtle action couldn't escape the notice of the old patriarch. Zhou Wude laughed heartily and said, "Yi, since you obtained this manual, naturally, you also have the qualification to cultivate it."

Zhou Yi's face immediately lit up with a smile, as he was well aware of the power of this martial art technique. Hu Bin, utilizing the fifth layer of internal energy, managed to defeat his own sixth layer of internal energy combined with the pinnacle of six-layer combat skills. This completely overturned his previous understanding and made him realize the preciousness of this martial art technique.

The smile on Zhou Wude's face gradually faded, and he spoke with a serious tone, "Yi, I have just examined this manual. It contains a set of martial art techniques called the 'Thirty-Six Forms of Mountain-Crushing."

,' and only you are suitable to practice them within our Zhou Village."

Zhou Yi's gaze fell upon the manual in astonishment, and a thought crossed his mind. He asked, "Grandfather, are three styles missing from this set of techniques?"

"Indeed, somehow the final three styles are missing," Zhou Wude sighed with regret. He continued, "However, you must not underestimate this set of techniques. In terms of power, it is undoubtedly one of the best in our Zhou Village's library.

Zhou Yi felt overjoyed in his heart and quickly nodded, his eyes shimmering with a mixture of surprise and delight.

Zhou Wude's tone suddenly turned stern, "Yi, although you can practice this set of techniques, remember that with your current strength, you can only learn the first four styles."

Zhou Yi's heart trembled, and he nodded earnestly, saying, "Grandfather, I understand."

Zhou Wude handed the manual back to Yi and said, "You have had a long day. Rest now. Keep this manual with you and transcribe it. Once you've finished, hand it over to Quanxin."
