Chapter 0004: The Muscular Brother and the Old Monk

How to try?

Bai Qi, as an outsider, watched the entire play unfold, observing the three—Young Master, Long Aotian, and Tang Jiaorong—part ways unhappily. While continuing to diligently cultivate martial arts, he pondered how to accomplish the task of becoming Long Aotian.

Opportunities are rare; allowing them to slip away is the act of a fool. Moreover, it seems that I am not without opportunities!

At this moment, the sudden appearance of the 100 experience points task made Bai Qige envious. If he could secure this income, he could even directly use the experience points to enhance his martial arts skills, saving a great deal of research time. He decisively accepted the task, and then he suddenly heard a strange and jarring sound in his mind, as if long-rusted gears were being forced to turn, creaking loudly. Immediately afterward, a virtual interface appeared before his eyes

This is an old monk, his robe worn and tattered, with two longevity brows drooping from between his eyebrows, and a long, frosty white beard hanging down to his abdomen. Each wrinkle on his face seems to indicate that he is a highly accomplished monk, a transcendent figure beyond the mundane world. With his hands clasped together, he approaches step by step, and as he draws near, a chant of Buddha's name resonates.

The old monk, with a dreamlike quality, struck various poses that showcased his muscular physique, his iron-like muscles gleaming with a fierce radiance, creating a dazzling effect that could almost blind the onlooker

The Essence of the Dragon: Dragons possess extraordinary reproductive capabilities, combat strength, endurance, and skill + 100

Name: Long Aotian

A once-in-a-century genius: with excellent genes and the legacy of the dragon vein, possessing exceptionally high talents in memory, comprehension, and various other aspects, Spirit + 5, Wisdom + 10, Emotional Intelligence - 10, Knowledge absorption speed + 10, Understanding of the unknown + 10, Required proficiency for skill upgrades halved

Tsk tsk, my plan consisted of three steps. The first step was to leave a note, in case he didn't show up. The second step was to give him a mysterious phone call. The third step was to kidnap Tang Jiaorong to force him to meet. I never expected that he would actually show up at the first step! What a waste of my time!

The Long family is a secretive lineage with deep-rooted heritage. Through the relentless efforts of successive family heads, their influence has gradually expanded, allowing them to control numerous factions, blending both the black and white worlds, and spanning across the political and economic realms. Their power is exceptionally robust in various aspects, and they have been collecting resources for years. The family possesses some martial arts manuals; however, in the current era, firearms and dollars are more useful than fists. Therefore, Long Aotian has not studied related knowledge within the family in the past, and at this moment, he can only cultivate some conventional Yanhuang martial arts to enhance his combat effectiveness.

If it were a roadside fortune teller uttering such ominous words, Long Aotian might either laugh heartily and turn away or impatiently kick over the stall. However, at this moment, in a remote and dimly lit wilderness, an old monk, who exudes an air of mystery and possesses a somewhat ethereal demeanor, instantly brings forth an extremely strong atmosphere of mystique, making one involuntarily believe in it to some extent. More importantly, in four days, it will be the time for him to face off against that debauched young master in the arena. Such a coincidence causes Long Aotian to murmur to himself.

[Martial Arts: Basic Yanhuang Martial Arts (Level 2), Military Self-Defense Martial Arts (Level 1)]

Drink up! Behold the indestructible body of this old monk!

Talent: Advanced Handsomeness: Generational family gene optimization and replacement, resulting in extraordinary beauty from birth. Cultivated by the family, with a perfect physique, further refined by the internal dragon vein, all attributes +1, charm +50, elegance +50

The 30 experience points have always been kept by Bai Qige, who dares not use them at all, for they are a universal remedy that guarantees results. To fully realize the value of experience points, there is no better time than when facing a bottleneck in martial arts training, using the experience points to achieve a breakthrough. Any other use would be a desecration and a tremendous waste of the experience points.

Dragon's Fighting Spirit: The dragon's nature is domineering, with the male dragon bloodline within constantly emitting hormones that signify a spirit of combat. All attributes +1, Taunt +50, Attraction to the same sex -50, high probability of provoking incidents and causing conflicts. Prolonged exposure to the Dragon's Fighting Spirit hormones will influence the same sex, with a high likelihood of resulting in a long-term decrease in intelligence.

In this era, science flourishes, and all superstitions and false beliefs have been cast into the dust, transforming into pseudoscience. Even monks and Taoist priests, once revered in ancient times, have lost their former luster. Of course, some religious figures have kept pace with the times, reinventing themselves to engage in the political and economic spheres, enjoying a different kind of prominence, but this is not the path of those who have renounced worldly life

The attributes are relatively easy to discuss. Based on the estimation from Bai Qige, the attributes of untrained adult males generally range between 7 and 10. Long Aotian's innate attributes are considered quite exceptional and outstanding. However, none of this compares to talent, which is the most terrifying aspect. Until he witnesses it with his own eyes, he cannot believe that such terrifying talent still exists in this world

Amitabha, the old monk of Lanruo Temple, the abbot, with the Dharma name Mengyi, has met the young benefactor

In recent days, Long Aotian has been frequently visiting the martial arts gym alone. He has made a seven-day agreement with the young master, and after seven days, they will engage in a wager fight at school. He places great importance on this. He does not regard the first basketball match at all, as the basketball club he leads has reached a level that can be considered provincial competition standard. He does not believe that the young master can assemble a basketball team capable of competing with him. Therefore, Long Aotian focuses his attention on the later arena match in the wager. Over the past few days, he plans to train alone in the martial arts gym to increase his martial prowess.

Constantly pondering, Long Aotian remains a modern youth. He feels a sense of pity for the mysterious high monk's talents, yet secretly harbors doubts about the extraordinary encounter and the routine of imparting martial arts. He instinctively suspects that this might be a scam, or perhaps that some dandy is sending someone to toy with him. Thus, with a hint of skepticism, he inquires: "What martial arts do you possess"

Attributes: Root Bone 12, Strength 12, Agility 12, Spirit 16

[Race: Mixed Huang and Yan Ethnicity; Dragon Bloodline Holder: The bloodline of an unknown male dragon lies dormant within, sealed]

But who is Long Aotian? He is a once-in-a-century genius, truly dedicated, and has rapidly improved his conventional Yanhuang martial arts. In just two days, his foundational Yanhuang martial arts level has risen from level 2 to level 5, and he feels that his combat power has significantly advanced. The thought of the arena, where he only needs to defeat the bodyguard of that spoiled young master to force the young master himself to come to the stage for a thorough beating, in revenge for the grievances of two days ago, instantly brings Long Aotian great satisfaction.

Young benefactor, the old monk previously caught a distant glimpse of you and observed your features. You possess extraordinary talent, being a rare martial arts genius among millions. However, it is regrettable that the old monk perceives a misfortune in your fate, indicating an early demise. This calamity is destined to occur in four days. The old monk cannot bear to see such a fine talent vanish from the world, so I have arranged to meet you, wishing to impart to you a supreme skill to help you avert this impending disaster.

However, apart from the destiny interfaces of these few individuals, the destiny interfaces of others cannot be glimpsed. It seems that only the destiny interfaces of these few personnel related to the tasks can be observed

The surreal entity known as the Dragon Vein Holder need not be elaborated upon. With intelligence on par with Superman, an extraordinarily attractive appearance, emotional aura, taunting aura, an aura of ignorance, coupled with reproductive combat power, skills, and endurance all enhanced by 100, and an untroubled financial situation according to the Golden Rule, what do these attributes signify? This is a living, breathing stallion overlord! The emperor of the harem! This is a living, breathing stallion overlord! The emperor of the harem!

This can still be considered within the realm of understanding. When trapped in a desolate area, what should one do without water or food? With minimal experience, food and water fall from the sky. This concept can even be extended to the situation of running out of money; once experience is gained, money will also fall from the sky.

Changing his clothes and stepping out of the martial arts hall, Long Aotian reached into his pocket and found an unusual object inside. Upon taking it out, he discovered it was a note with an address written on it, followed by a threatening message stating that if he did not come, the consequences would be unpredictable. Naturally rebellious, Long Aotian could not tolerate provocation, so without considering the consequences, he decided to keep the appointment.

Bai Qi was filled with astonishment; it turned out to be an experience task

Baiqi has been playing for three years, during which he completed only one task that granted 30 experience points, and since then, he has not encountered any others. It is evident how difficult it is to find experience tasks. To describe it in Earth terms, Middle-earth is a game with an overwhelming number of players, yet tasks are exceedingly rare. Many players may only receive one or two tasks in their lifetime, and it is not uncommon for some to never encounter any experience points in this anti-human martial arts online game.

Occupation: Senior Year Student at Canglan Noble Academy; Young Master of the Long Family (in the Adult Trial)

Young man! May I ask you a question: are you willing to accompany this old monk in the pursuit of the ultimate realm of muscle

The monk from Lanruo Temple, known for mastering the one hundred and eight Buddhist supernatural powers, possesses the highest martial arts, which are none other than the Tathagata's divine palm, personally transmitted by the Tathagata himself. However, such an earth-shattering and unparalleled skill can only be cultivated by the supreme Buddha's son, and the monk is not well-versed in it. The martial arts that the monk excels in are the indestructible body, impervious to blades and bullets, unaffected by water and fire, capable of resisting all external enemies, making it a top-tier protective skill. It may sound like a lie, but seeing is believing. Would you be willing to try it yourself?

However, in Middle-earth, experience points are a sacred and noble designation. After three years of wandering through the songs of the White Road, one naturally understands the significance that experience points represent

The Primary Golden Rule: The dragon is the controller of wealth, and the bloodline possesses an inexhaustible abundance of riches

The great bridge spans across, with a river channel beneath it. The slopes on both sides of the river are gently inclined, lush with vegetation, creating a rather secluded environment. Long Aotian, confident in his bravery and strength, does not mind the remoteness of this place, eager to see who has summoned him. After waiting ten minutes past the appointed time, Long Aotian finally sees the person who is to meet him, but his expression is rather peculiar.

Then, with a glance, Tang Jiaorong's destiny interface appeared alongside that of the young master. Compared to Long Aotian, Tang Jiaorong's destiny interface was rather unimpressive, featuring a "Intermediate Beauty" with a charm increase of +50, and an "Elementary Business Talent" with a management ability increase of +10, and that was it. As for the young master, it was even more remarkable; his talent was actually classified as "Intermediate Prodigal," with a wasteful ability increase of +60. Bai Qige was baffled by these inexplicable talent attributes and wondered how the laws of the destiny interface were discerned, and what practical use these attributes had, for instance, the wasteful ability of +60.

What should one do if talent is lacking? Should one invest experience points to defy fate, undergo a transformation, and rebuild the foundation? As one ages and approaches the end of life, what can be done? Experience points can still be of use, allowing for a forceful extension of life. In the world of Zhongtu, an ancient warrior surnamed Zhou employed such a method, forcibly extending his life by eight hundred years by relying on experience points when his lifespan was nearing its end. To this day, he remains one of the legends of the Zhongtu world. Experience points can still be of use, allowing for a forceful extension of life.

If possible, he really does not want to get involved in such a melodramatic emotional affair, but the temptation of 100 experience points makes Bai Qige eager to act

Such a defiant existence, one can only imagine the reaction of the people in the Middle-earth world to the term "experience points". However, it is unfortunate that the tasks capable of generating experience points are exceedingly rare in the Middle-earth world, with triggering conditions that are extremely difficult, lacking any reasonable basis.

Experience points, in the world of Middle-earth, represent an unreasonable existence. In the view of the White Tree Song, this is akin to the dragon summoned from the collection of the Seven Dragon Balls, a perfect wish-granting spell in Western Dungeons & Dragons, capable of answering any request and possessing limitless power, even to the extent of reversing causality and creating something from nothing

Master, what have you summoned me here for

Young man, what are you still hesitating about? You may not have yet felt the allure of this indestructible body. Come, experience the charm of this indestructible muscle for yourself!

"This, this, this, I need to think about it, Master, your muscles are too dazzling, my eyes are almost blinded!"

To the average person, these monks seem to have transcended their own world. Therefore, at this moment, when Long Aotian suddenly sees that the person he is supposed to meet is actually a mysterious old monk, he is instantly struck by a sense of inexplicable absurdity

The old monk transformed into a two-meter-tall muscular figure, suddenly embracing Long Aotian. In an instant, the old monk's frenzied roar of enthusiasm for muscles and Long Aotian's scream echoed through the heavens.

What the heck! https://www.hetushu.com! Long Aotian was left speechless, with nothing more to say. A frail old monk, just over 1.70 meters tall, transformed into a two-meter tall muscular monk with a body of iron and gold. This transformation already possesses infinite persuasive power

Long Aotian was skeptical, yet he witnessed the old monk Mengyi suddenly raise his arm and wave it, causing the tattered robe to scatter. The previously emaciated body abruptly transformed into a terrifying muscular monster comparable to a bodybuilding champion, with a significant increase in height and skin color resembling a metallic light gold. In an instant, the monk Mengyi transformed from an ordinary high monk into a muscular Buddha statue seemingly sculpted from gold and iron

Dragon's Blood Boiling: The nature of dragons is inherently lustful, as the male dragon bloodline within constantly emits hormonal signals representing reproduction. All attributes + 1, Charm + 50, Attraction to the opposite sex + 50. Prolonged exposure to the dragon's blood boiling hormonal signals will influence the opposite sex, with a high probability of causing a long-term decrease in intelligence.

Young benefactor, in four days, you will die at the hands of a treacherous plot; this is the monk's prophecy. You may choose to believe it or not. For now, let me ask you, are you willing to train in martial arts with me?

Bai Qige was taken aback; he never expected to encounter such a situation. In the Middle-earth world, the destiny interface of sentient beings cannot be viewed by others. Otherwise, Bai Qige's identity as a traveler would have been exposed long ago. However, before this doubt could be resolved, he caught sight of Long Aotian's destiny interface, which immediately frightened him greatly

Bai Qi followed behind, witnessing Long Ao Tian heading to the appointment. He also set off and then approached the vicinity of the destination

The training at the martial arts school concluded, and Bai Qige smiled as he bid farewell to Zhao Liang. He then made a phone call to the hotel to request a leave adjustment. Bai Qige had always worked diligently in the past, willingly complying with his superiors' arrangements for various overtime tasks, which resulted in him having a substantial amount of unused leave. At this moment, with just one adjustment, he was able to take half a month's leave.

Experience points, in online games on Earth, are merely a fundamental unit of functionality; no game can do without the setting of experience points. This setting can provide players with the greatest gaming experience, allowing them to immerse themselves repeatedly in the struggles of the virtual game.

In the world of Middle-earth, experience points are essential for everyone. If you find that training martial arts is time-consuming and difficult to improve, what should you do? Invest experience points, and your martial arts level will soar. If you feel that your attributes are too weak and do not meet the threshold for martial arts training, what should you do? Invest experience points, and your attributes will significantly increase. When facing strong enemies, if you cannot defeat them, what should you do? Invest experience points, and your attack power will instantly surge, allowing you to defeat formidable foes.
