Explore the genres of Xianxia novels; there's bound to be one that suits you.
Hearing Li Ping's words, Hong Riqing remained silent for a long time: "Although the Fire Cloud Evil God has gone astray, he is an unparalleled talent..."
"And then there's the Condor Heroes couple. Little Dragon Girl's Lion's Roar is astonishing, but how many people in the world can cultivate their martial arts to their level?"
"Anyone who can master martial arts to the level of the Five Elements Eight Trigrams Staff, Iron Wire Fist, and Twelve Styles of Tan Kick in Pig Cage Alley is already a rare master in the martial arts world!"
"Besides, how many times can Little Dragon Girl use her Lion's Roar skill on a battlefield?"
"But the foreigners' guns and cannons could bombard us endlessly."
"How can a few people possibly stand against a massive army and those formidable firearms?"
"As for the Tathagata Palm, no one has mastered it for hundreds of years; it's just a legend..."
"Ah Xing is a genius, and he is most suited to the Tathagata Palm, but I am only 30% sure whether he can master the Tathagata Palm."
Li Ping was somewhat speechless: "Why are you guys so honest? Why do you insist on fighting head-on on the battlefield?"
"Why didn't you just sneak up and blow up their powder keg?"
"They've come from thousands of miles away; logistics will be a huge problem. With your skills, you could blow up their gunpowder depot, rendering their guns useless!"
"And can't you guys carry out assassinations?"
"For example, assassinating someone like the Queen of England or the Emperor of Japan..."
"If all else fails, assassinate those high-ranking foreign officials who want to provoke war and profit from it!"
"If that doesn't work, assassinate the entire clan of those high-ranking officials who started the war... Let's see if they still have the guts to invade after their whole families are wiped out..."
Hong Riqing's eyes widened.
They really didn't think of that back then.
Back then, they didn't understand modern guns and cannons, let alone the world.
They didn't even know where those foreigners came from, let alone have any intention of assassinating high-ranking officials in someone else's territory...
People in the martial arts world have rules; they would never even consider harming someone's entire family!
If they had known more about the world and about modern firearms back then, they might not have suffered such a crushing defeat.
But what's the use of knowing all this now?
The world is about to end...
Seeing his expression, Li Ping couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
These people are still too honest!
In this world where supernatural powers exist, martial arts may not necessarily shine on the battlefield, but how many countries can withstand special operations and unrestricted warfare?
Ugh……
Li Ping sighed and continued "reading" the Tathagata Palm manual, his brow furrowing: "Only through such mental and physical training can one master the Tathagata Palm?"
Hong Riqing said matter-of-factly, "Only through great destruction can great construction be achieved."
"Su Can, who once enjoyed all the riches and honors of the world, and then tasted all the bitterness of life, finally achieved enlightenment and was able to cultivate the Sleeping Arhat Fist..."
"And Ah Xing is now trapped by his childhood dream, wavering between dream and reality, unable to see his true self..."
"If I don't go to hell, who will?"
"He has never been able to grasp this point, so even with his talent, he has never been able to break through the illusion, and he has never been able to master the Tathagata Palm technique..."
Experience, tempering one's character, profound enlightenment... Li Ping understands all these things.
But he still couldn't figure out how this was related to breaking through the limits of true qi.
Because in the world he is in now, too many people have had similar experiences, but none of them have reached the limit of true qi.
Seeing Li Ping's bewildered expression, Hong Riqing was also confused, because he really didn't understand what Li Ping meant by "breaking the limit of true qi".
At this moment, Li Ping said, "If Ah Xing masters the Tathagata Palm, could his experience be of any help to me?"
Hong Riqing said, "There might be a little bit, but not much. After all, you can only truly understand these things by experiencing them yourself..."
Li Ping nodded, seemingly lost in thought.
The two then left the dream, and Hong Riqing waved his hand and disappeared.
Li Ping looked at his three wives and told them everything that had just happened, saying, "I have a very interesting idea..."
"The Heart Sutra of Returning to Dreams is very simple for me; I can learn it at a glance!"
"Combined with the spiritual reincarnation technique that Pang Ban comprehended in the last moment of his life, similar to the Heaven-Shattering Earth-Shattering Technique, it's worth a try..."
……
"Little brother, little brother, don't run away..."
"Wow, that's incredible! You have a burst of spiritual light coming out from the top of your head, do you know that?"
"At such a young age, he already possesses such a strong and muscular physique; he is truly a martial arts prodigy, one in a century."
"If one day you were to unlock your full potential, wouldn't you soar to new heights...?"
"As the saying goes, if I don't go to hell, who will?"
"The task of punishing evil and upholding world peace is entrusted to you, okay?"
"This manual of the Tathagata Palm technique is priceless."
"Since we're destined to meet, I'll charge you ten yuan to teach you."
Li Ping stared blankly at Yaoyue in front of him.
Seeing Yaoyue's disheveled appearance, resembling that of a beggar, he almost burst out laughing.
He never imagined that Yaoyue would have this side to her.
When Yaoyue saw Li Ping burst into laughter, she was confused, because she now thought she was Hong Riqing.
Furthermore, he supplemented the practice with the method of spiritual reincarnation, allowing the four of them to play different roles in this dream, so as to experience the cultivation of the "Buddha's Palm".
However, Li Ping's spiritual cultivation was too high, so he always knew who he was.
This is rather bad.
But since we've already started, let's continue.
Then, the dream cycle repeats...
……
"Let go of that girl!"
Li Ping, who played Sing-jai, uttered that cry from the depths of his soul.
Then, the Tathagata Palm technique failed, and he was brutally beaten by a group of thugs. Just when he was about to suffer the ultimate humiliation, Li Ping suddenly exerted his strength and sent the group of thugs flying...
The little girl with the lollipop looked at Li Ping and suddenly spoke, "Li Ping?"
Li Ping was taken aback: "Rong'er, you can actually remember who you are. Your spiritual cultivation is extraordinary."
Huang Rong said irritably, "You're just praising yourself. Your technique is really strange; it doesn't even feel like martial arts, it's more like magic or supernatural power!"
"But based on Sing's original experience, he probably wouldn't have been able to drive away these thugs..."
Li Ping nodded and said, "Yes, he got a severe beating and was even pissed on. From then on, he didn't want to be a good person anymore; he always wanted to be a bad person!"
"Unfortunately, he can't bring himself to be evil even if he wants to!"
Huang Rong's eyes widened: "So you chased these people away? What's the point of experiencing other people's lives like this?"
Li Ping said with a hint of helplessness, "I can't really let someone pee all over me, can I?"
Huang Rong couldn't help but laugh: "That's true! But this feeling is really novel, it's so real..."
……
The dream cycle repeats itself.
"Sing-jai" and "Fatty Chung" arrived at Pig Cage Alley and started extorting money, only to be brutally beaten.
The two attracted the attention of the Axe Gang. Three reclusive masters from Pig Cage Alley intervened and repelled the Axe Gang, but "Sing" and Fatty Cong were captured by them.
Seeing Brother Sum throw the axe at "Sing," "Sing" unlocked his handcuffs, escaped on his own, and then saved "Fatty Chung."
Seeing that the two had this skill, Brother Chen let them off the hook!
In order to join the Axe Gang, the two went to Pig Cage Alley to kill people. "Sing" was targeting the landlady!
Then came the famous scene.
"Sing" threw a knife, but the knife bounced back and stabbed him...
"Fatty Cong" threw a knife, which bounced back and stabbed "Sing"...
Even when "Fatty Cong" threw the knife a second time, he threw the handle but the blade pierced "Sing" instead...
Even worse, he looked at the knife, then put it back in...
At this moment, "Fatty Cong" came to her senses and stared wide-eyed at "Sing": "Li Ping?"
Li Ping nodded.
Su Ying laughed wildly: "Is this for real? Are there really two such stupid thugs in this world?!"
Li Ping nodded again, feeling utterly helpless.
Then Su Ying burst into laughter, pounding on the wall as she laughed...
Li Ping thought this was fine too. Even if he couldn't master the Tathagata Palm, at least it would bring joy to everyone...
