Chapter 411: Hua Strength Ultimate Power Upgrade (1)

Qiao Mu was puzzled by the strange side effects of the Blood Meat Oven.

But what he had plenty of was time.

It could even be said that in this Long Life Dream that had lasted for more than two thousand years, he was even looking forward to unexpected changes in this dream.

The unknown physical distortion was the unknown variable in this case.

So, over the next few decades, Qiao Mu continued his martial arts training as usual while studying the Shape Changing Skill and the forbidden technique of the Blood Meat Oven.

His Shape Changing Skill had reached its peak, and his martial arts foundation was very strong.

Therefore, this question did not bother him for too long.

"The reason should be the difference in mindset."

Qiao Mu had a thought, and the dream around him changed, taking him back many years to the mansion of City Lord Guo, where life and death intersected.

Back then, he and the bandit Wang Songhe took the original version of the "Flesh Changing Skill" from a secret room in City Lord Guo’s house.

This "Flesh Changing Skill" technique was created by Martial Saint and further perfected by Wu Qizheng. It involves using one’s mind to finely manipulate and adjust the changes in the body’s flesh and blood in order to enhance the power of the Spirit Refining martial artists.

In other words, it is using one’s consciousness to transform and adjust the physical body.

The "Shape Changing Skill" that Qiao Mu later obtained from Wu Qizheng still follows this philosophy, but focuses more on stimulating the body’s self-healing abilities.

However, the forbidden martial art "Blood Meat Oven" is different.

"Using blood and energy as fuel, using the body as an oven, stimulating changes in the body, breaking through its limits…"

"If the Shape Changing Skill focuses on precise manipulation of every inch of flesh and blood, even every cell of the body…"

"Then the forbidden art Blood Meat Oven seems to reject this idea. Instead of complete bodily control, it burns energy and blood to break through limitations."

"But at what cost, should it be the uncontrollable deformation of the flesh?"

Qiao Mu gradually came to this conclusion.

He felt slightly disappointed. The forbidden martial art technique, Blood Meat Oven, was indeed a powerful technique for enhancing the body, but from his martial arts knowledge, it was not the right path.

The perfected Shape Changing Skill allowed Qiao Mu to expand his body to a nearly ten-meter tall small giant.

But that was the limit.

Martial Saint’s forbidden martial art technique, "Blood Meat Oven," on the other hand, could break this limit of the body and provide further enhancement.

As for the cost, it should be the loss of precise control over the body and the risk of organ deformation.

In other words, although this "Flesh Deformation" was powerful, it might be hard to sustain and had a higher risk.

But strength is strength. To say that it could be multiplied by tens of times, it seemed impossible to deal with the Qingming Cave Small World using this "Blood Meat Oven."

"Not enough. Far from enough."

"We need to find other ways."

In the deep dream world, multitasking is just basic practice.

Qiao Mu did not give up on "Blood Meat Oven". He just practiced it together with the Human Path Sutra, focusing on exploring other possibilities.

"I have 2500 years, such a long time, I will definitely be able to find some way…" Qiao Mu felt confident.

After all, he was best at enduring with a long time to find a way.

…..

Five hundred years later.

"No useful methods."

Qiao Mu lay in the desert of his dream, leaving a big wooden mark on the sand.

Before his death in battle, he was already a legend in martial arts on Earth, a strong warrior who broke the understanding of ordinary people and even cultivators.

With his martial arts skills, it was already very difficult to improve even a little, let alone become several times stronger all at once.

During these five hundred years.

Qiao Mu tried all sorts of methods, practicing both known and unknown martial arts in the manor, but he couldn’t find a way to become many times stronger.

Unlike the time when he studied the "Human Path Sutra" and the "Divine Transformation Technique" at the beginning.

Back then, Qiao Mu saw a glimmer of possibility, and after spending a lot of time and experiencing death hundreds or even thousands of times, he managed to turn that glimmer of hope into an achievable reality.

But things are different now.

He tried various martial arts secrets and techniques, but through these attempts, he realized how difficult it was to advance further.

He has a lot of time.

But even if 2500 years passed, it might still not be possible to stop the sinking Qingming Cave Small World.

"If stopping it directly is not possible… why would I even try to stop it?"

A thought suddenly came to Qiao Mu’s mind.

He didn’t want to give up easily, but instead, he thought of a clever way.

"Stopping it directly is not possible."

"That Qingming Cave Small World, much like the powerful Xuantian Sect’s leader, cannot be stopped by individual power alone."

"Forcing it is not a good idea."

"So, what if we try a clever approach?"

The martial artist had four roads to choose from to improve their skills.

The strength, energy, and spirit were the martial artist’s own powers.

The martial art skills were all about using the martial artist’s own powers effectively.

When comparing martial art skills and superb rank skills, it’s important to mention…

"Would you choose Earth Sword Immortal’s Heavenly Slashing Swordsmanship or Wu Mingkong’s Hua strength?"

Qiao Mu had eliminated the former over the past few hundred years.

As for the latter, it was indeed a clever technique.

"If I master this Hua strength technique completely, could I undo the Cave Heaven Small World too?"

When this idea first came to Qiao Mu, he thought it was absurd.

But upon closer reflection, this idea grew wildly in Qiao Mu’s mind like wild grass.

After exhausting all possibilities for the past five hundred years with no solution in sight, forcing it had no hope… and this absurd idea was the most hopeful method Qiao Mu had thought of.

…………….

"Join forces! Use strength, Hua!"

Inside Peach Blossom Villa in the dream.

Qiao Mu’s and Wu Mingkong’s wrists touched in the dream, then as Wu Mingkong raised her hand to strike, Qiao Mu swiftly raised his hand to block Wu Mingkong’s fist, sidestepped, and delivered an elbow strike to her back, sending her flying.

Qiao Mu had once experienced Wu Mingkong’s Hua strength martial arts.

Despite Hua strength being powerful, for a skilled martial artist like Qiao Mu, it wasn’t very practical.

Compared to geniuses like Wu Mingkong who seemed born with exceptional talent, if Qiao Mu wanted to master such skills, he could only rely on extensive and intensive practice.

However, time has always been his good friend.

"After ten years, Hua’s strength had reached a basic level."

"After a hundred years, Hua’s strength could be used effortlessly in real combat. It could be employed in a split second without physical contact, that’s the essence of Hua’s strength. Wu Mingkong had demonstrated such martial skill."

"After four hundred years, mastery was achieved in both unarmed combat and weaponry in Hua’s strength. Let’s consider this as the third level of Hua’s strength kung fu."

"Treating weapons as natural extensions of the body, Hua’s strength was wielded skillfully."

"At this stage, it could be considered the pinnacle of what ordinary people can comprehend."

"In the eyes of the world, perhaps the former Hua’s strength Grandmaster Qiao Jinyin was considered such a powerful Grandmaster?"
