Chapter Seven: The Martial Arts Enthusiast

Dugu Baitian deeply felt that he had been too impulsive and lacked self-control in the past. Even if Situ Mingyue had truly betrayed him, he should not have been so despondent.

In order to prevent chaos at home, the young disciples were disinclined to practice martial arts. Situ Jingyun had no choice but to grant the Situ Haoyue brothers the freedom to spar with Dugu Baitian at any time, with one condition: the matches could not take place within the Situ family estate. The Situ brothers felt as if they had been granted their freedom, and their gratitude towards Dugu Baitian was truly boundless, akin to the surging Yangtze River and the endless mountains.

He quickly closed his mouth, and it took a long time for his pounding heart to calm down.

No, this set of martial arts skills can be referenced in the future, but you absolutely cannot learn it now. In the future, I will explain the essentials of basic martial arts to you every day

It turns out that my grandfather also had his guesses about what kind of life I would ultimately have, but no one knows for sure. Du Gu Bai Tian pondered silently in his heart

Outsiders believe that the Dugu family has long since fallen into decline and no longer exists. However, this is not the case; our Dugu family is inherited from our ancestor Dugu Zhantian, and the bloodline within us is an undefeated legacy. Although it has been several hundred years, the ancestors of the family were determined to pursue the secrets of the black jade stone, ultimately achieving nothing, which caused the family to plummet. Yet, three hundred years ago, a prodigy emerged from the family, creating the divine skill "Ming Wang Bu Dong," and became an unparalleled master of that era.

The Situ family rose to prominence a century ago and has gradually grown stronger over the years, boasting numerous skilled members. No one has ever dared to challenge them at their doorstep, but today, an eighteen-year-old from a rival family has come to confront them. The family elders are both amused and exasperated; this martial enthusiast is someone they have watched grow up, and they are well aware of his temperament. They feel reluctant to personally discipline him and instead call upon the younger members of the family to engage him in combat, hoping he will realize the difficulty of the challenge and retreat.

In the end, Situ Jingyun had no choice but to let his three sons, Situ Haoyue, Situ Aoyue, and Situ Minyue, take the stage one by one to compete against him. These three were quite cunning, directly relying on their profound internal strength to confront him head-on. No matter how deeply Dugu Baitian understood the essence of the techniques, it was of no use; their combat style was reminiscent of the tricks Dugu Baitian used in his childhood fights, winning through sheer brute force

First love is like a poem, fresh, elegant, and refined; first love is like a song, lively, passionate, and rhythmic; first love resembles a piece of lyrics, graceful, heartfelt, and meaningful

Defeat the heavens, defeat the heavens, defeat the heavens, defeat the heavens

"Holding the coagulation of blood, defeating the heavens... defeating the heavens"

Child, you have finally decided to take your martial studies seriously, you have finally awakened. Before teaching you the martial arts, let me briefly introduce our family and its martial traditions.

The elders of the Situ family could not help but admire; this person was born for martial arts and lives for battle. This young man’s understanding of the essence of techniques has surpassed the limitations of his martial arts realm. Transforming the decayed into the miraculous is often the inevitable result of a master-level expert achieving a profound understanding of the zen of martial arts. Yet, Dugu Baitian, with merely a third-rate skill, has managed to achieve this, which is enough to be proud of

We are a declining martial arts family. The might of the martial saint, Dugu Zhantian, who swept across the world a thousand years ago, has long since faded. The glory of a thousand years ago has become a mere memory, and no one in the martial world remembers the Dugu family. If anyone still has any impression, it is only the name Dugu Zhantian.

Dugu Baitian finally set his sights on the Situ family. The family rules of the Situ clan do not permit young masters to leave home at will, which ultimately led Dugu Baitian to seek them out.

What surprised them was that this former brawler, now a martial arts enthusiast, had actually defeated several young members of the Situ family

The martial arts of the unparalleled ancestor, Dugu, are contained within the black jade stone in your pocket, accompanied by a single spiritual imprint: 'By mastering the third-rate martial arts of the continent, one will ultimately achieve greatness.' Unfortunately, no one has been able to comprehend it fully. I suspect there is another mystery within, but no one has yet been able to grasp it.

Early the next morning, Dugu Baitian rushed to the backyard and found Dugu Feiyu practicing martial arts at https://www.hetushu.com, saying: "Grandfather, I want to learn real martial arts, I want to become strong"

Why?" Dugu Baitian shouted

Dugu Feiyu felt a secret shock, uncertain whether his grandson's entry into the martial world would bring fortune or disaster to the continent

Dugu Baitian wore a look of despondency on his face

Sidu Jingyun and the elders of the family finally realized that the reason Du Gu Baitian was able to win, aside from his formidable physique that allowed him to unleash power and speed to a terrifying degree, was that he executed the essence of his mediocre martial arts techniques with remarkable finesse. Extremely ordinary moves often had the effect of transforming the mundane into the extraordinary; a simple move like the Wild Horse Parts Its Mane could be executed with such brilliance that it seemed almost divine, exquisite to the point of perfection, like an antelope's horns, leaving no trace behind.

That night, he slept particularly soundly, as if the emotional wounds inflicted by Situ Mingyue had healed significantly overnight. At the same time, a strong desire for "martial prowess" surged within him.

The formidable strength of Dugu Baitian was something they had long been aware of; it was precisely this quality that had allowed him to become the child king of Changfeng Town and a prodigy in fighting. However, many years had passed, and the children of the Situ family had already mastered their family's martial arts, yet they were unexpectedly defeated by him, leaving them greatly astonished

Grandfather, please teach me "Ming Wang Bu Dong" quickly

In the past, he had eavesdropped on his grandfather muttering to himself about what he was, a rebellious battle spirit, a life filled with conquest and slaughter. At that time, he was deeply shocked, and now he realized that such an extraordinary phenomenon had actually occurred at his birth, the shock within him was a hundred times stronger than the last time.

Dugu Baitian was left dumbfounded, and it took him quite a while to regain his composure

From then on, Changfeng Town gained a martial arts fanatic, and this fanatic was Dugu Baitian. He challenged everyone, from thugs to tall and strong men, and even those with some martial skills. Henceforth, the saying "In Changfeng Town, any man must walk around Dugu Baitian" became a universal truth

He felt his blood boiling, a tremendous fighting spirit rising from within, as if the gods and Buddhas standing before him would be swept away into nothingness.

At last, they managed to send Du Gu Bai Tian away, and the elders of the family let out a long sigh of relief, yet the shock within them lingered for a long time. They knew that this young man would not remain an ordinary person; one day, he would soar to great heights.

Dugu Feiyu smiled and said: "Child, do not be disheartened. The martial arts of the strong require self-enlightenment and self-creation. Grandfather believes that you are also a genius who stands out in the world. One day, you will create a set of martial arts that belongs to you and become an unparalleled master."

Once again, it is the season of blooming flowers, another year has passed, and Dugu Baitian has deeply fallen in love with Wu. The shadow of Situ Mingyue in his heart has become increasingly faint, and he only feels a twinge of pain when he thinks of her

The solitary figure exudes an air of dominance, radiating confidence and a sense of superiority, as if looking down upon the world, embodying the spirit of being unparalleled.

He discovered that whenever he uttered the words "Defeat the Heavens," the flow of blood within his body would accelerate

However, this set of divine skills emphasizes the cultivation of the mind and character. The deeper the mastery, the less one wishes to be entangled in the mundane affairs of the martial world, preferring instead to play in the mortal realm or to take pride in the beauty of nature. This is the reason why the Dugu family has become increasingly unknown to outsiders

However, the next day, Dugu Baitian came knocking again, and from that moment on, the Situ family was no longer at peace

I have mentioned that "Ming Wang Bu Dong" emphasizes the cultivation of the mind and character. The deeper the skill, the less one wishes to be tainted by the mundane affairs of the martial world. This is contrary to your nature and does not align with your temperament. Not only will you find it difficult to master it fully, but you may also risk harming yourself.

Dugu Baitian wiped away the displeasure from his face, revealing a powerful and confident smile. "Grandfather, thank you for your encouragement. I will definitely create a martial art that belongs to me. I want everyone on the continent to know the name Dugu Baitian; I want it to become synonymous with invincibility; I want it to become a belief."

He kept reciting loudly

He believes that regardless of the reasons for their breakup, he should face his first love with an open heart. After all, it was she who gave him the warmth of the opposite sex for the first time, who offered him genuine care for the first time, and who ignited his passion and pursuit of love for the first time. Perhaps when he sees her again, he will be able to face her calmly. With this thought, a twinge of pain returned to his heart.
