Gu Yang's face showed increasing joy.
Gu Qingfeng looked at him and said, "Now that you've entered the Late Stage of Refining Skin, today your father will pass on the complete Mountain Shattering Fist to you!"
"The complete Mountain Shattering Fist?"
Gu Yang was startled.
He had been practicing Mountain Shattering Fist for several years and was well aware that this martial art wasn't considered highly profound; it was merely of inferior quality.
Such a level of martial art could at most reach Refining Skin Perfection, which was its limit. As a martial artist, Gu Yang naturally knew that the Mountain Shattering Fist he practiced wasn't incomplete.
Thus, hearing Gu Qingfeng's words left him somewhat dumbfounded.
Gu Qingfeng said, "The Mountain Shattering Fist is not as simple as you think. Your father reached the Blood Refining Realm with this art, and with your talent, breaking through to the Blood Refining Realm someday is inevitable.
Since you've made a breakthrough today, I might as well teach you the complete Mountain Shattering Fist and hope you practice it diligently!"
Gu Qingfeng didn't waste any more words and began to demonstrate the new version of Mountain Shattering Fist right in front of Gu Yang.
After its breakthrough, the Mountain Shattering Fist had changed, and the methods of breathing regulation and mobilizing blood and qi had been accordingly adjusted.
Often, just a slight change would be like the finishing touch on a painting, making Gu Yang's eyes shine increasingly brightly.
And when the final punch was thrown, Gu Qingfeng's blood and qi turned into a billowing battle flag, his powerful fist as if it could shatter mountains and crumble peaks. "Boom-"
Thunder suddenly erupted.
Violent winds rampaged forth.
Several zhang away, a rockery was instantaneously shattered, turning into countless fragments that scattered flying.
Left Gu Yang completely dumbstruck on the spot.
Before this punch, he felt his own insignificance; the joy and pride from just having advanced in the Refining Skin Realm dissipated without a trace.
Without seeing a Blood Refining Realm martial artist's move, one could never comprehend the strength of this level.
After displaying the sequence of fist skills, Gu Qingfeng calmed his turbulent blood and qi, looking towards Gu Yang, who was still standing dumbfounded, with a light smile on his face. "This is the complete Mountain Shattering Fist. This fist skill was originally inferior grade martial arts. Later, your father had an insight that allowed it to break through its limit, hence making it comparable to mid-level martial arts.
Once you perfect your practice of it, you will be able to step directly into the Blood Refining Realm."
Gu Yang came out of his stunned state and couldn't help saying, "In that case, Mountain Shattering Fist could be considered a creation of Dad's own."
"Not a creation, per se, just some innovation and breakthrough based on the foundations laid by predecessors," Gu Qingfeng replied modestly, but Gu Yang was very aware of how difficult it was to break the limits of a martial art.
When he looked at Gu Qingfeng again, his eyes were filled with admiration.
"Since this martial art is a result of Dad's own breakthrough and innovation, I think it might
be unsuitable to continue calling it Mountain Shattering Fist.
In my opinion, why not call it Gu Family Boxing?"
Hearing this name, Gu Qingfeng was momentarily taken aback, then he nodded in agreement. "In that case, let's call it Gu Family Boxing!"
The Gu Family, too, needed a martial art to bolster its reputation.
Mountain Shattering Fist wasn't to say a common and widespread fist technique, but many martial artists practiced it, so using this art as the Gu Family's face was somewhat lacking. Now that the improved Mountain Shattering Fist after its breakthrough was more exquisite than the original, it could be considered a different fist technique; calling it Gu Family Boxing was also appropriate.
When Gu Qingfeng finished speaking, he saw the attribute panel suddenly appear, and the characters for Mountain Shattering Fist directly changed to Gu Family Boxing.
Gu Qingfeng understood in his heart.
The names of martial arts were not set in stone; changing them was just a matter of thought.
"Names are ultimately just names, changing the name won't make the Martial Arts any more powerful."
In the following time,
Gu Qingfeng silently cultivated, taking Blood Refining Pills to improve his Cultivation while occasionally giving pointers to Gu Yang and some of the Gu Family guards in their practice.
After all, these Martial Artists had chosen to join the Gu Family not only for the resources provided but also for the chance to learn advanced Martial Arts from the Gu Family.
Gu Qingfeng was accordingly not stingy.
for parts of Martial Arts like Breakthrough that involved the Blood Refining Realm, Gu
Qingfeng wouldn't rashly pass them on.
Martial Arts relevant to breaking through the Blood Refining Realm definitely needed to be passed on, but not just yet; only when his own power had advanced further would Gu Qingfeng
consider passing on these Martial Arts.
even if there were any issues, he could use his own power to directly suppress them.
"The Blood Refining Pill is indeed worthy of being a pill taken by Martial Artists in the Blood Refining Realm, one pill can save me months of hard work!"
Gu Qingfeng once again refined a Blood Refining Pill and felt the surging power of his blood and energy, his smile growing more apparent.
With Blood Refining Pills,
it would be much easier for him to break through to the mid-level of Blood Refining.
It was just a pity that such pills were impossible to come by through ordinary means. Over the years, Gu Qingfeng had also purchased some elixirs for Martial Artists at the Blood Refining Realm from outside, but sadly, the effects of those elixirs were not even one percent
as effective as the Blood Refining Pill.
those elixirs came with their own poison, and taking too many could affect one's foundation.
after taking them once, Gu Qingfeng no longer continued to use those elixirs.
It was only after Gu Yang's recent Breakthrough and the reward of Blood Refining Pills, that
Gu Qingfeng started using pills to aid his Cultivation.
In the blink of an eye,
Gu Qingfeng had taken all the Blood Refining Pills, and his Cultivation had naturally broken
through to the mid-level of Blood Refining.
With his realm Breakthrough,
his strength had risen to the next level.
The only pity was that breaking through to the mid-level of Blood Refining didn't add
anything to his lifespan.
From this, one could see that only when breaking through major realms would a Martial
Artist's corresponding lifespan increase.
a guard from the Gu Family arrived. "Subordinate pays respects to the Family Head!"
"Have you come because something has happened?"
Gu Qingfeng looked at the person in front of him and asked indifferently.
The visitor was a guard captain of the Gu Family named Meng Peng, a Martial Artist at Refining Skin Perfection, and before joining the Gu Family, he was a fairly well-known wanderer on the White Stone Dao of the Martial World.
Later, when the Gu Family was established, he had joined them.
And because Meng Peng was quite strong, Gu Qingfeng had promoted him to guard captain,
overseeing the other guards.
Meng Peng respectfully said, "Subordinate has received news that Cloud Pavilion will hold an auction in three days' time, and it's said that a mid-grade Martial Arts might appear there!"
"Mid-grade Martial Arts!"
Gu Qingfeng's expression flickered slightly.
He had always had the Gu Family guards inquire about the whereabouts of mid-grade Martial
Arts, and he didn't expect there to really be a lead.
"Is there any clear information about the origins of this Martial Arts?"
"The Cloud Pavilion is very secretive about these matters. The information about the mid-
grade Martial Arts has been deliberately spread by them, and there is no additional
information available presently."
Meng Peng answered truthfully.
Upon hearing this, Gu Qingfeng fell into deep thought.
