Chapter 2 - Martial Arts of the Gods

[Martial Arts of the Gods]

A coveted martial arts that was still a mystery to most known Legends and Mythical Martial Artists. It was a secret only a handful has known. Even other Gods did not know what was its secret. It was lost in the eons of time and no one knows where were it's scrolls were located.

Meanwhile, the martial arts that survived were the 8 Imperial Animal Martial Arts and the 4 Sacred beast Martial arts.

That was why, the Murim Academy was built. Practitioners strived to master them and one of them was Lee Xulin of the Xulin Family.

He was the young master of the Lee Clan but he has a crippled cultivation. It was a disappointment for his parents but they still nurtured him.

Xulin was a hardworking student that excels at body cultivation and martial arts mastery. He was a textbook genius when it comes to martial arts styles and any of them was mastered by Xulin.

Though the problem lies on his Qi Breathing and Qi Output. His attacks has no Qi accompanying him resulting to only raw strength.

Though if he will not become a Qi cultivator then he becomes a Body cultivator. He trained his raw power with all he got and until it rained.

He was training in the rain and kicked and punched the rain drops. Making him have a small happiness being fulfilled deep inside him.

While he was panting, he saw a white meteor coming towards him and then he ran towards it's opposite direction. Until, he was struck. He passed out and woke up in his soul realm.

It was a disaster but in his luck, the meteor saw his body and entered it. Fusing his soul with him.

With it, Xulin woke up having memories of the Master of martial arts.

His knowledge was passed down to him. Inside his soul realm, he saw an old person with white robes that seemed to wait for him.

"Hello young child. I know I am intruding your soul realm but I am in hiding. I am the Master of the Martial Arts of the Gods. You see, I will teach you my martial arts if you let me dwell here." He said in a reassuring voice. Calm and with authority, "The enemies of the Gods were finding me and my soul in this lower realm called the Land of Immortals. Though even they killed my divine body, my soul still survived,"

Xulin squinted his eyes and he felt like day dreaming. He questioned what was transpiring at the moment.

"Um why am I here? What is this place?" Xulin was surprised that this place exists inside him.

"Um this is your soul realm boy. Your body is still sleeping on your training grounds. The monsters in the forest might be eating you right now," he said in a worried voice.

"What!? Let me out here! Why did you tell me this just now?" Xulin was horrified by such predicament. He was running to and fro.

"Hey wait, I am just joking," the old man said as he stroked his beard.

"By the way, I am Wuxian, call me master from now on," he immediately sat at the translucent floor that looked like a calm seawater.

"The problem I saw in you was the broken Qi core that was not repaired. I will teach you how to repair it first then let us proceed to Qi Breathing," he said then closed his eyes.

By just looking at him, Xulin immediately knew how to repair his core due to his memories. It was nourishing the core with Qi that was taken from the surroundings. And it was not easy to absorb it in the first place.

Xulin immediately went in lotus position and then imitated his technique. With it, Wuxian was surprised that he already knew how to do it.

'Seems he is a fast learner,' Wuxian said in his mind.

The two continued to do it until Xulin woke up on his bed. His sister saw him and hugged him. She has a black dress with red ribbon on her hair.

Her white hair was semi ashen and her pupils were bluish white. A wonderful sight to behold. She was still in her teens and was 12 years old if Xulin's memories did not lie him.

"Brother! I am glad that you are now awake! I am deeply worried!" She was about to sob but she withheld her grief.

"Don't worry, I am okay, let me rest for a few more hours," Xulin said to her.

"Okay brother, I will wait for you. Let us all have dinner together," she then left.

Xulin, without wasting time, he used the core nourishing technique that his master had told him. He circulated the Qi from his surroundings and healed his core. The broken core was slowly repairing but he could not use it for now. Only to have a backlash would be devastating to his future cultivation.

He still could not cultivate and so he has to focus on healing.

His room was made mostly by bamboo and especially the walls and bed. The study table was made of plane hard wood and has a glowing crystal that shines all throughout the room.

The room has many paintings of ancient drawings and also the martial arts forms and styles of what he knew.

His memories fused with his master as per his master had given him but he was a separate entity on his soul realm. Though his knowledge was passed on to him. And with that, he will prepare for the incoming entrance exam on Murim Academy.

He mastered the Basics of the 8 Imperial Martial Arts but he has to choose one to use in the entrance exam. They were 8 of them primarily, Leopard, Tiger, Panther, Monkey, Crane, Eagle, Snake, and Boar. These were basics and one could ascend to the sacred beasts if one desired.

He also knew the 4 Sacred Beast Martial Arts which were the, Azure Dragon, Black Tortoise, Vermillion Bird, and White Tiger. Though these martial arts needed more Qi output and level of Cultivation to master.

Accompanying them were the Weapon Martial Arts that were divided into great varieties of weapons. It would be used depends on the martial arts that were compatible with it.

And about the Martial Arts of the Gods, it was still a memory in which the master of his still did not showed his memories.

He only said that he has to master the Imperial and Sacred beast Martial arts first to Legend level before he could master it.

After that, he ate with his family and then the rested in the night. He trained his sister in the morning with the martial arts from his mortal world. He was a Martial Arts Trainer in the past life from the mortal realm. And so, he trained his sister with his martial arts that he knew.
