Super Fusion

Chapter 44: Immortal Cultivation

Amidst the excitement, after standing downstairs for a moment, Lin Yan led Lin Zhongzhi directly up to the seventh floor.

Upon reaching room 705, Lin Yan personally stepped forward and gently knocked on the door. Almost simultaneously, the iron door opened from the inside, revealing Xu Yu's slightly surprised face.

Upon seeing Lin Zhongzhi standing outside, the doubt in his eyes completely vanished, though he was still slightly taken aback. Although he had expected the Lin family to arrive in the next couple of days, he hadn't anticipated it would be so soon.

"Hehe, Mr. Xu, I am Lin Yan, and this is my son, Zhongzhi. I must thank you for saving me last time." Seeing the fleeting surprise on Xu Yu's face, followed by a calm expression, Lin Yan was overjoyed again. It seemed the other party truly didn't dislike the Lin family; perhaps his wish might one day be fulfilled.

"Mr. Lin, you are too kind. It was an accident that day. Just call me Xu Yu." Having heard the other party thank him more than once, Xu Yu smiled and replied.

In an instant, Lin Yan and his companion's joy deepened. Their surprise and delight at the other party's words were truly unexpected, as even a simple form of address could reveal the closeness of a relationship. However, Lin Yan repeatedly waved his hands, saying, "I wouldn't dare. This time, I still wish to host a banquet for you, sir. Last time, it was my eldest son who hosted,

but I didn't expect such a disappointing turn of events." Hearing this, Xu Yu hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement. After all, he also wanted to learn more about the things that were troubling him.

Seeing Xu Yu nod, their joy grew even stronger. They immediately gestured for Xu Yu to come downstairs. When they reached the Mercedes-Benz downstairs, the driver was already waiting. Lin Zhongzhi sat in the front, while Lin Yan sat in the back with Xu Yu. The Mercedes then quickly drove out of the city village.

During the journey, thanks to Lin Yan, an elderly man who had lived for over eighty years, deliberately adopting a humble attitude, and with Lin Zhongzhi's occasional interjections, the conversation between the two was quite pleasant.

As the atmosphere gradually relaxed, Xu Yu, after responding to a question from the Lin family father and son, paused for a moment before speaking, "Mr. Lin, there are some things I'm quite curious about. I wonder if you could offer some guidance?"

"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, Lin Yan paused for a moment, then hurriedly waved his hand, saying, "I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare. Please ask, Mr. Xu. As long as I know the answer, I will answer without reservation."

Even Lin Zhongzhi, standing in front, suddenly straightened up. The two of them naturally knew that this was the real opportunity to get closer to Xu Yu.

Seeing the other party's serious expression, Xu Yu was speechless again, but he didn't hide his feelings and said, "Last time, your grandson and Mr. Lin, judging from their skills, were really not ordinary people. I'm afraid even those high-level practitioners of Taekwondo and Jeet Kune Do popular in the secular world are far inferior to them. I'm just a little curious, how did you manage to do that?"

Even before, Lin Yan and Lin Zhongzhi had been wondering what kind of question the other party would ask, and had made many guesses. If they couldn't answer, they would mobilize the entire Lin family to find the answer as much as possible. But this result was something they really didn't expect. The other party's question would be so... so simple.

After a moment of silence, Lin Yan smiled and said directly, "It's not surprising that Mr. Xu doesn't know. In this world, there is not only immortal cultivation, but also martial arts cultivation. Immortal cultivation cultivates the spirit, while martial arts cultivates the body. Our Lin family has also made some achievements in this area."

He wasn't surprised why Xu Yu would ask such a question. Given the other party's age, perhaps he had accidentally obtained an immortal opportunity in recent years and was unaware of martial arts matters, which was perfectly normal.

"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Xu Yu's brows furrowed slightly. He knew, of course, that even in the mortal world, many legends of immortals and gods circulated, but he hadn't expected them to be true. The

path of immortality cultivates the spirit, the path of martial arts cultivates the body!

"As for the path of immortality, this old man knows very little, but in terms of martial arts, I can explain a little to Mr. Xu." Seeing Xu Yu's interest, Lin Yan smiled again. As long as the other party was willing to listen, he certainly wouldn't be stingy with his words.

"The first realm of martial arts is self-cultivation, or like the popular Taekwondo and Jeet Kune Do, which only cultivate the external body, or like our Lin family, a martial arts family that cultivates both internal and external aspects..."

As the car moved smoothly forward, Lin Yan explained everything in detail. Of course, what he had encountered were only the Self-Cultivation stage and the Spiritual Movement stage. As for whether there were even more terrifying levels above these two realms, that was certain, but Lin Yan knew nothing about it.

In his explanation, Lin Yan also emphasized the terror of the Spiritual Movement stage and its ability to extend lifespan.

This explanation deeply moved Xu Yu. He realized that the bottleneck he had encountered before was merely the first step in his martial arts cultivation.

However, as the explanation progressed, Xu Yu also understood that his fusion ability should be planned to focus solely on external physical cultivation, since he still lacked any of the internal energy the other party had mentioned.

Just as Xu Yu was showing interest, Lin Yan, observing his expression, suddenly laughed and said, "If Mr. Xu has a great interest in martial arts, why don't we return to my home now? I can demonstrate the various characteristics of martial arts for you. Frankly speaking, what determines a martial artist's strength is not only cultivation level, but also martial arts skills. However, discussing martial arts skills in isolation is somewhat empty."

He was being completely open and honest, wanting Xu Yu to enjoy himself and to build a closer relationship. In his mind, demonstrating martial arts skills was a simple matter, but these words stirred Xu Yu's interest once more.

Demonstrate?

If he were to demonstrate it, wouldn't he be able to easily steal and learn the martial arts techniques possessed by the Lin family if he wanted to? Last time, Lin Dongjie's martial arts techniques had greatly impressed him, but at the time, he was too busy slapping him to properly vent his anger and hadn't integrated them.

With these strange thoughts in mind, Xu Yu nodded directly, once again eliciting joy from Lin Yan and his son, who hurriedly ordered the driver to turn around.

Soon, the car headed towards the Lin family villa.

During this process, Lin Yan spoke again, "When it comes to martial arts, there are actually many kinds. The most common are acquired martial arts. Even the military boxing and Jeet Kune Do in the secular world can be considered acquired martial arts. However, the difference between them and innate martial arts is really huge..."

After explaining some basic common sense about martial arts, Lin Yan continued, "In fact, even innate martial arts that can mobilize the power of heaven and earth are divided into levels: Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow, Heaven Profound, and Earth Yellow! Earth Yellow level innate martial arts can also mobilize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but after mastering its essence, one must at least have the strength of the Spirit Transformation stage to unleash its power. Moreover, the scale of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that it can control is also within a certain range. It can only gradually increase as the cultivator's strength improves. Heaven Profound level innate martial arts are legendary miracles. Even a martial artist who has just entered the Body Cultivation stage can mobilize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth as long as they comprehend its essence. It is not surprising that they can challenge Spirit Transformation stage experts beyond their level."

"In the legendary era when the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was abundant, every Heavenly Profound-level martial art was a coveted treasure pursued by all major martial arts forces. However, in modern society, with the development of technology, the damage to the earth beneath our feet has become increasingly severe. As a result, the various spiritual energies existing between heaven and earth are rapidly being lost. Or rather, spiritual energy is born from the essence of various life forms on earth, and when its generation rate cannot keep up with its consumption rate, it becomes increasingly scarce. Although Heavenly Profound-level martial arts are powerful, without sufficient spiritual energy to support them, they are simply impossible to use in modern society. They can only be effective in specific places, making them essentially useless."

"The martial arts possessed by our Lin family are the metal-type combat techniques among the Earthly Yellow-level innate martial arts..."

During his explanation, Lin Yan suddenly sighed.

Although he didn't know what he was sighing about, Xu Yu suddenly realized something. No wonder his fusion ability could only extract spiritual energy from food; food was the life essence of various plants and animals, after all.

Acquired martial arts? The snake form in Xingyi Quan was acquired, while Lin Dongjie's previous demonstration was a Yellow-level innate martial arts technique, which had already drawn upon some of the power of heaven and earth. No wonder the difference between the two was so vast.

While he was pondering this, Lin Zhongzhi suddenly smiled and said, "Mr. Xu, we've arrived."

With that, when Xu Yu looked up, he saw a detached courtyard, a vast area with various buildings visible within. Finally here! Should he try to secretly learn the Lin family's innate martial arts technique during Lin Yan's demonstration? Thinking of this, Xu Yu's heart pounded.
