Chapter 939: Chapter 423: The Commandery Princess’s Secret Directive, Merged Techniques, Extraordinary Talents, and the Authority of a Gold Chief!

This martial art also has three essentials: "Capture", "Attach", and "Integrate". The term "Capture" consists of eighteen forms, "Attach" has nine forms, and "Integrate" includes thirteen forms. "Capture" can be practiced individually, at first glance resembling ordinary Capture Martial Arts, without much difference. However, upon closer reflection, it truly recalls the competition in the vehicle and boat.

"Attach" and "Integrate" require someone to practice together, to spar and exchange moves.

Then there is the Cage Body Force. It’s a martial art that makes the opponent, despite having significant power, unable to exert it. On the day Lei Hengfeng subdued Kong Li, Kong Li, being tall and with considerable Martial Arts Mastery, was not weaker than Lei Hengfeng but was controlled effortlessly, unable to exert his power.

It was this "Cage Body Force" that locked his entire body’s power, unable to deploy it. This martial art requires being fully close to the opponent to have a chance of execution.

Li Xian, full of interest, jumped out of the bathtub and donned a loose robe. He began following the method to practice the "Human Garment Method · First Chapter". Li Xian’s footsteps intertwined, his figure agile and graceful, moving back and forth with utmost changeability.

Practicing for half an hour, though progressing, he had not yet reached the Beginner stage. Li Xian perceived that the essence of this martial art lies in synchronizing with the garment movements. With an opponent to cooperatively practice, progress could be accelerated by several levels.

Although failing to grasp the key point for the moment, Li Xian remained unhurried, fully immersed in the Martial Arts. Exploring the principles of martial arts, he perceived the heaven and earth.

Having practiced the Human Garment Method to proficiency, he then turned to master the "Integration Body Skill" essentials of Capture. Li Xian, naturally flamboyant, with remarkable talent and perception in martial arts, possessed unique insights in this co-practice method, and having reached the age of majority, he was experienced in that matter, well-skilled. At this moment, his understanding naturally came into play here.

After practicing four times, the "Integration Body Skill" reached the Beginner stage.

[Integration Body Skill]

[Skill Level: 11/700 Beginner]

[Description: Integration of body, exploring the heaven and earth.]

That night, Li Xian worked hard at martial arts, practicing Finger-Flashing Golden Light, Broken Demon Spear, Dubhe Saber Technique, Stone-Pushing Palm Technique... across various methods, simultaneously practicing multiple martial arts.

[Finger-Flashing Golden Light]

[Skill Level: 14023/15000 Great Success]

[Dubhe Saber Technique]

[Skill Level: 1924/3000 Great Success]

[Stone-Pushing Palm Technique]

[Skill Level: 2013/3000 Great Success]

[Suffering Physique]

[Skill Level: 1856/3000 Great Success]

Once the Suffering Physique was mastered, Li Xian’s Qi Movement became agile, his eight extraordinary meridians robust and unobstructed. When deploying martial arts, the Inner Qi was adjusted more smoothly, flowing effortlessly from inside out, with ease and control. It was like a flood gushing rapidly over a thousand miles. Though this martial art does not enhance killing power, it is extremely comprehensive. Li Xian benefited greatly, complementing the Dubhe Saber Technique’s unpredictable changes, adding brilliance.

Li Xian ascended to Gold Guard, advancing swiftly, unmatched compared to Lei Chong. The next day, when Marquis was on duty, passing through the usual training field, he headed straight to "Red Tower". This Red Tower stood ten feet high, entirely crimson, with a fierce tiger statue on the left and a vicious python statue on the right.

The Gold Appraisal Guard symbolizes with tiger and python. The tiger is a fierce creature in the forest, subduing small thieves. The python is a fierce entity in the water, lurking for an opportunity, striking fatally in one blow, dragging into the water. Implying, the Gold Appraisal Guard possesses the might of tiger and python, subduing wicked thieves like a tiger, and killing villains in one stroke like a python.

The two stone statues exuded ferocity and liveliness, vividly lifelike. The tiger eye was inlaid with an unusual stone, the python eye with jade scales. The stone body was coated with black lacquer brewed from hundreds of beast extracts. Li Xian, standing in the place, felt an overpowering atmosphere.

Li Xian reached Red Tower, pushed open the slightly ajar crimson door, and saw a towering red list. The list was circular, allowing a comprehensive view. The list was pasted with white paper, either depicting portraits or recording notes.

A group of people gathered beside the list, whom Li Xian had met before. In the past, capturing Lei Hengfeng, with Xu Shaoqian’s permission, Li Xian went to the Marquis’s office the next day and became an apprentice scout. On that day, there was a polo game, where everyone in the field was a Gold Guard. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ

Yet they met again today, including Su Kuo, Bai Qinghao... among others. Li Xian, having seen them once, roughly recognized them, continually thought to himself: "In the blink of an eye, Yu Hai has died. Although the Gold Appraisal Guard position is superior and well-paid, it accompanies great dangers. Though I hold the Gold Guard title, delighted as I am, I must take this as a precedent, resolve not to follow in their footsteps."

Su Kuo, tall and sturdy, noticed Li Xian and said: "I heard General Lei yesterday say that today a new Gold Guard will arrive, here it is, indeed." All the Gold Guards turned towards him upon hearing this. The group showed varying expressions, some greeted politely, some stood analyzing, and others stared disdainfully.

The Gold Appraisal Guard has fifty-seven Gold Guards. They are distributed at the end, middle, and head of West Wind Street, nineteen at the end, twenty-one in the middle, seventeen at the head. Currently on duty were about thirteen people.

Someone on the left laughed and said: "Newcomer, our Gold Appraisal Guard isn’t a school academy, no one will teach you hand-to-hand. Previously there was Yu Hai, he was indeed enthusiastic, always willing to teach. But he’s dead now, we aren’t interested in you either, figure it out yourself. Anyway, if things go wrong, just pack up and go back where you came from."

This person was named "Song Liujiang". Another Gold Guard "Tie Fu" called out: "Who said that, I am somewhat interested in him. I heard you offended General Lei, last night General Lei was drinking with me, and he was scolding you fiercely."

Bai Qinghao examined him for a moment and said: "I seem to remember that when you first entered the Gold Appraisal Guard, it was recommended by Yu Hai. So quickly, you became a Gold Guard? Do you have mud on your body and face?"

The crowd voiced their opinions, some disdainful, some hostile, some indifferent. Li Xian responded with a casual smile, calmly dealing with it. After a round of conversation, a Gold Guard "Deng Fan" proactively stepped forward and patted Li Xian’s shoulder, saying: "Li Xian, though the Gold Appraisal Guard isn’t a school, some rules should be clear first. Let me tell you, follow me."

Li Xian followed Deng Fan, heading into a long corridor, far from the main hall. Deng Fan smiled and said: "You being promoted to Gold Guard, I assume your skills are exceptional. Just now there were many people, so I brought you out to explain in detail."
