Chapter 0001: Gu Shaoshang

There is fundamentally no issue for Guji regarding bone setting and alignment

You practice the "Tiger Roar Fist" on your own, and if you have any questions, feel free to ask me

Those who can join the Martial Arts Hall are all unparalleled geniuses. Even the mere hope of joining already surpasses the majority of people

Boom

The spine trembles, akin to a tiger pouncing forward, delivering a strike with its claws aimed directly at the enemy's vital points. I can hardly recall how many hearts and livers have been extracted using this move!

The Celestial Projection Mirror is the root cause that brought Gu Shaoshang to this world. There is only one way to activate it, and that is through battle! There is no other method; Gu Shaoshang has tried too many times. The village children and the wild beasts in the mountains do not meet the activation criteria!

With a wave of the hand, he stepped down from the high platform

"Third Uncle, could you please hit me once?" Considering he is the third son of the previous clan leader, the young people in the village all call him Third Uncle

As soon as Gu Shaoshan's father left the house, he eagerly closed his eyes and immersed his mind into his thoughts

The Great Yan has established its nation for over 160 years, surrounded by various external enemies and plagued by demons and bandits within. In this world, only martial arts serve as the foundation for survival.

A wave of intense pain surged between his arms and chest, and Gu Shaoshang groaned as he opened his eyes. What met his gaze was a home stripped bare of possessions and the dark face of his father.

With great effort, he raised both arms, holding a wooden sword made of ironwood in front of him

The warrior of destiny can carry a heavy cauldron weighing a thousand pounds and run like a swift horse, commanding a hundred captains even amidst the roar of the army in Youzhou, effortlessly defeating hundreds of bandits alone! A true enemy of a hundred men!

Considering the internal turmoil, the right hand transformed from claw to palm! With great effort, I restrained seven parts of my strength to avoid striking at Gu Shaoshang's vital points, yet my palm still swept against the wooden sword! The martial arts on the battlefield have always been about being invincible, with moves that mean life or death! For Gu Ji to achieve this is already a mark of a true master.

Third Uncle, I would like to personally test the power of the perfected Tiger Roar Fist, please!

... ...

Boom

A youth dressed in a gray linen garment at the front of the team spoke up, his delicate face filled with longing

On the crossroad in the village, on the bluestone slab, recalling Gu Shaoshang, one could not help but shake their head

The audience fell silent at once

Lie down and do not move!

"Shao Shang, is there something going on?" Gu Ji stopped in his tracks. The Gu family village has just over 1,000 residents, all of whom are blood relatives, so Gu Ji naturally knows Gu Shao Shang.

At the training ground made of compressed yellow clay beneath the high platform, dozens of children, the youngest being eight or nine years old and the oldest around thirteen or fourteen, stood in neat rows, motionless, gazing at the tall man.

Catching a boy in mid-air with a leap

It is fortunate that I have regained my strength

Father, I was wrong

Gu Shaoshang felt as if he had been struck by a large truck traveling at 70 miles per hour! The so-called wooden sword, which was said to be as strong as steel, broke along with his own arms! Subsequently, he was thrown away!

The bluestone is the hardest stone, yet it shattered in an instant

Click!

So impressive

Gu Jiu shook his remaining sparse hair and dragged his emaciated body to the bedside to lift the medicine bowl

Gu Shao roared in his heart

It is this man before me who, despite his ailing body, has stubbornly raised himself! My urgent desire to open the celestial projection mirror is also, in no small part, for him

Considering the faint smile, the scar on the face twisted like a centipede

Move!

Gu Jiu lightly scolded, after all, it was out of concern for her son, and then she turned and left the room

As winter approaches, the early morning of Daming Mountain is covered in frost throughout the forest

A group of youths could not help but click their tongues in amazement

Martial arts are boundless, and the foundation is paramount! The set of "Tiger Roar Fist" that I teach you is the orthodox physical training martial art of the military. On the day of mastery, tearing apart tigers and leopards and splitting stones will be a trivial matter

And I am the warrior of destiny, the centurion of the Tiger Roar Army of Youzhou

He paced up to the high platform, his tiger-like gaze sweeping across the area

"Are you out of your mind, child? With your small frame, a single punch from me would turn you into a puddle of blood." Gu Ji was at a loss for words. A martial artist at the level of Li Ming could kill tigers and leopards with a single punch, and could shatter a boulder as tall as a person! In all these years, he had never heard such an absurd request.

Take care to slowly exit the training ground

The crowd offstage erupted in astonishment, all gazing enviously at Gu Shaoze

Taking a deep breath, the palm gently massaged Gu Shaoshang's arm, applying light pressure to the chest area

Ultimately, the thought initiated by the mirror prevailed. Gu Shaoshang endured the embarrassment with great effort, spreading his feet apart and striking a pose.

Uncle San, how long will it take for us to cultivate to the Life Establishment Realm

Um...

Snap!

The houses in Gujiazhuang are closely packed together, with a fence made of ironwood over one zhang long deeply embedded in the ground, enclosing the village, making it nearly impossible for ordinary wild beasts to enter

The crowd dispersed in groups of three or two, scattered throughout the training ground, each practicing their strength and martial arts techniques. Among them, even the youngest had been training for over six months, so there was no need to pay attention to those who were constantly watching.

Consideration

Gu Shaoshang looked at the man in front of him, who resembled a consumptive ghost, with slightly reddened eyes

The man of great stature stood at eight feet tall, with a physique reminiscent of a tiger's back and a bear's waist. A scar from a knife wound stretched from the corner of his left eye down to his jaw, quivering like a centipede as he spoke

In the midst of the dark sea of consciousness, a mirror radiates light like the great sun

The foundation of martial arts begins with the training of the skin, flesh, tendons, and bones, followed by the cultivation of the bone marrow and internal organs. A person whose entire body is flawless and without any defects has reached the first realm of martial arts, which is the establishment of life

Gu Shaoshang raised his head to look at Gu Ji, who was as tall as a beast, and cautiously spoke up

Not good

Considering the high platform, he stepped towards the village, when suddenly he heard footsteps approaching him and turned to look back.

Considering that I have participated in numerous wars over more than 20 years of military service and have managed to return unscathed each time, I should be able to achieve my goal. I must seize this opportunity!

On the high platform of the training ground in Gujiazhuang, a bald man was shouting loudly.

Gu Shaoshang stood in the middle of the team, watching the instructor on the high platform with a gleam in his eyes.

I began practicing martial arts at the age of 10, joined the Tiger Howl Army at 21, and did not enter the Realm of Establishing Destiny until I was 29

Gu Shaoze is after all just a youth, his complexion slightly flushed, appearing somewhat lightheaded

... ...

Gu Shao felt a shock in his heart "It has been ten years since I crossed into this world, yet I still find the martial arts of this world incredible! I can do it too, and even stronger!" His heart suddenly burned with passion, and he trembled with excitement

A ten-year-old boy dressed in a long-sleeved linen shirt is approaching him with small steps, a glimmer of hope appearing on the boy's slightly dark face

Sigh, ever since your mother left us when you were three years old, my health has greatly declined. Are you trying to drive me to my grave!

This time it is disastrous

Standing on a high platform, one gazes around with a sense of pride and confidence

You little brat, daring to launch a sneak attack on a life-and-death warrior with just a wooden sword! If you weren't killed, consider yourself lucky

Looking at the ten-year-old boy in front of him, who was speechless, with a serious expression on his slightly dark face, he resembled a little adult

In the 162nd year of the Great Yan, during the autumn of the 7th year of Yong'an. In Youzhou, Jinyan Prefecture, Yichang County, at the foot of Daming Mountain, Gu Family Village

Taking a sudden step down from the high platform, the bones of the entire body crackled. As he turned, the black tight-fitting outfit fluttered, and a punch struck the heavy blue stone on the training ground

The bluestone lifted off the ground and flew out three zhang, shattering into fragments all over the ground

That piece of bluestone weighs 500 jin and surprisingly flew out for three zhang in an instant

Gu Ji was taken aback

The approaching figure resembled a giant tiger, and as its claw reached out, my body felt as helpless as a little white rabbit in the jaws of a fierce tiger

Gu Shaoshang spat out blood in large mouthfuls while in mid-air, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted.

Standing on the high platform, I watched the scars on the faces of the children below tremble

Gu Shao's head exploded with pain, and every hair on his body stood on end

Gu Shao gritted his teeth; if he missed this opportunity, it would take at least a few more years to activate the Celestial Projection Mirror.

Gu Shao broke out in a cold sweat; if it weren't for that damned mirror, how could I have made such a foolish request

Uh!

Laoze, with your qualifications, you may have the prospect of advancing to the Realm of Establishing Life before the age of twenty-five. Only by advancing to the Realm of Establishing Life before the age of twenty-five can one hope to join the Great Yan Martial Arts Hall

Gu Shaoshang lay on the bed listening to his father, Gu Jiuhai, scolding him with a dark expression

Suddenly, Guji's sinister smile froze, as he had already seen the shocked expression on the face of the young boy Gu Shao, who was holding an ironwood knife.

"Alright, I don't have time to play with you. You can go find Gu Shaoze and the others to play with instead." Gu's face darkened, and he waved his hand, turning to leave.

Hmph! You have been asleep for two days! If it weren't for your third uncle, even if you were to recover, you would still have lingering effects!

A decade has passed in the blink of an eye, yet the mirror remains unable to open

A sudden thump in the heart, followed by a rush of wind sound entering the ears

Gu Shaoshang is a time traveler. In his previous life, he achieved nothing by the age of thirty. Unexpectedly, he was brought to this world by a mirror he acquired during a trip, which tore through the starry sky.

With a sense of regret, their gaze seemed somewhat distracted

After all, they are a group of young people, and the training ground erupted in excitement.

Dad, how long have I been unconscious? I feel so hungry!" Gu Shaoshang struggled to bring the medicine to his father's lips, but the sharp pain that surged through his body, wrapped in white cloth like a zongzi, made him cough a few times.

The Great Yan Martial Arts Hall, the foremost violent institution of Great Yan! It suppresses all sects under heaven and serves as an unparalleled weapon to deter all nations
