Chapter 3: A Once-in-a-Thousand-Years Martial Dao Prodigy?

For Huiwen, a martial arts expert at the Innate Peak,

very few things could cause emotional fluctuations in him.

Buddhist Cultivation Techniques inherently have the effect of calming the mind and settling the spirit.

Huiwen had immersed himself in the Buddhist Dharma for seventy or eighty years; to say his expression wouldn't change even if Mount Tai collapsed before him,

wouldn't be far off either.

Yet right now,

massive waves were churning within Huiwen's heart.

"Is this the Arhat Fist? No, this is not the Arhat Fist!!"

Huiwen carefully observed the young novice monk practicing the fist techniques.

Compared to the surging vitality burst forth by hundreds of adult warrior monks practicing the Arhat Fist,

this young novice monk practicing his fist technique did not cause any commotion.

Yet falling into Huiwen's eyes, it had a kind of

"Antelope hanging its horns."

Complete and natural.

Every punch and kick delivered by the young novice monk possessed an inexplicable profound meaning.

"How is this possible?!"

"How could a mere child master such a profound fist technique?"

Huiwen found it hard to believe.

Any martial arts, including Buddhist martial arts, required a massive amount of time in comprehension to even get started and master them.

The Arhat Fist was not some profound martial arts, but a normal person would still need to practice bitterly for six or seven years to achieve some accomplishment in it.

Yet right now, the fist technique practiced by the young novice monk was clearly several grades higher than the Arhat Fist,

yet he had already mastered it to Perfection, which was simply unimaginable.

What Huiwen found most incredible was that he had never seen the fist technique practiced by the young novice monk before.

It had traces of the Arhat Fist, yet it was countless times more brilliant than the Arhat Fist.

It almost reached the level of the Seventy-Two Arts of the Great Zen Temple.

Such a superior Buddhist martial art was something Huiwen, an old monk nearing a hundred years old, had actually never heard of.

"Abbot."

The remaining young novice monks also noticed Huiwen's gaze.

One by one, their faces turned pale as they honestly stood in place.

Only Lin Yuan continued to practice the newly comprehended 'Great Luo Han Buddha Fist'.

"En."

At this moment, how could Huiwen pay attention to these young novice monks who had sneaked out?

He waved his hand, motioning for all the young novice monks to leave,

while staring unblinkingly at Lin Yuan, who was practicing his fist techniques.

"Great Arhat Buddha Fist!!"

While practicing this comprehended fist martial art,

Lin Yuan felt a tingling sensation spreading from all his limbs and bones,

as comfortable as soaking in a hot spring.

He did not know how much time had passed.

Within Lin Yuan's lower abdomen Dantian, a wisp of Qi silently condensed.

"This should be internal Qi?"

"The Innate internal Qi that only Innate martial arts Experts can master?"

Lin Yuan speculated inwardly.

He was only a three- or four-year-old novice monk, and his knowledge was limited,

knowing only that Innate internal Qi was a power belonging to Innate martial arts Experts.

Once the internal Qi formed, Lin Yuan immediately felt a wave of hunger,

so he instinctively stopped practicing his fist techniques.

If he continued to practice, he estimated he would be starved to death.

However, when Lin Yuan looked around,

he found that the hundreds of warrior monks not far away, along with the dozen or so young novice monks beside him,

had all completely disappeared.

Replacing them were seven elderly-looking monks.

The Long-browed Old Monk with very long eyebrows in the middle had a burning gaze that made Lin Yuan's scalp feel slightly numb.

"Abbot? The Abbot?"

Among the seven monks, Lin Yuan had seen three of them before:

the Abbot of the Martial Monk Courtyard, the Abbot of the Disciplinary Courtyard, and the Great Zen Temple Abbot of this generation.

As for the remaining four, he did not know them.

However, being able to stand side by side with the Abbot and Abbots, their status and position were definitely not low.

Especially that Long-browed Old Monk; even the Great Zen Temple Abbot only dared to stand half a step behind him.

"Little fellow."

Huijue, the Great Zen Temple Abbot of this generation, revealed a gentle smile and asked, "Where did you learn that set of fist techniques you practiced just now?"

After Huiwen, the Abbot of the Martial Monk Courtyard, made the other young novice monks leave, he immediately contacted the Great Zen Temple Abbot and the other Abbots.

These true martial arts Experts of the Great Zen Temple immediately realized the seriousness of the matter, put down what they were doing, and rushed over.

Everyone's judgment was the same as Huiwen's—

the profundity of the conception in the fist technique practiced by Lin Yuan was not inferior to superior martial arts,

and this fist technique was an unheard-of Buddhist fist technique.

If they hadn't witnessed it with their own eyes, everyone would simply not have believed

that there were superior Buddhist martial arts in this world that they had never even heard of.

"Where did you learn it?"

Hearing this, Lin Yuan inwardly breathed a slight sigh of relief.

By practicing the 'Great Luo Han Buddha Fist' on the spot, he also had the intention of revealing his talent.

Through the three previous attempts, Lin Yuan understood that if he wanted to unearth the effects of his Heaven-Defying Comprehension, he had to contact the profound martial arts of this world as much as possible.

Watching sparrows and earthworms, he could only comprehend ordinary martial arts like the 'Divine Sparrow Crossing the Sky Movement Technique' and the 'Earth Dragon Turning Over Technique'.

But watching the Arhat Fist practiced by the warrior monks allowed him to directly comprehend the superior martial art 'Great Luo Han Buddha Fist'.

If he could watch a superior martial art, then what was comprehended out…

Although Lin Yuan did not know the status of superior martial arts,

being able to let him step into the heavens in a single bound and condense Innate internal Qi was naturally not simple.

And if he wanted to contact this kind of superior martial art of the Great Zen Temple, or even more profound martial arts,

relying solely on the identity of a young novice monk, he definitely could not do it.

"Reporting to the Abbot, just now I saw Senior Brothers practicing their fist techniques, and I wanted to follow along and practice. As I practiced, I comprehended this set of fist techniques, and I don't know if I should have or not."

Lin Yuan timely revealed a hint of apprehension.

What he said was not a lie either.

In the Cosmic Human Alliance, if Lin Yuan were this candid, he might be observed or even researched.

But in the world before him, it was a Martial Dao World similar to an ancient feudal Dynasty,

especially in a place full of Buddhist atmosphere like the Great Zen Temple.

Even if Lin Yuan displayed an even more powerful talent, people would only view him as the Reincarnation of a true Buddha, a living Buddha's son, or something similar.

"Watching warrior monks practice the Arhat Fist, and comprehending a superior martial art far surpassing the Arhat Fist…"

The Great Zen Temple Abbot and the rest of the other Abbots fell silent.

That Long-browed Old Monk, who was staring intently at Lin Yuan with a burning gaze, also fell silent.

If anyone else dared to say this to them, the several people naturally wouldn't believe it.

What a joke.

Did they really think superior martial arts were Chinese cabbages?

Most superior martial arts in the world were created by Grandmaster realm martial arts Experts pouring out all their painstaking efforts.

The Great Zen Temple, as a Buddhist Holy Land and a major martial Dao sect of the world,

relied mainly on the Seventy-Two Arts to continuously cultivate Innate Realm martial arts Experts.

The Seventy-Two Arts were seventy-two superior martial arts.

You, a three- or four-year-old child, claim that you comprehended a superior martial art?

However, when the Abbot and the others thought deeply about it, they inconceivably discovered that what Lin Yuan said was very likely true.

First, the Great Arhat Buddha Fist was a superior Buddhist martial art.

In the current world, apart from the Great Zen Temple, there were indeed some other Buddhist sects,

but without a doubt, they were all led by the Great Zen Temple.

Superior Buddhist martial arts outside of the Seventy-Two Arts did exist,

but the Abbot and Abbots would definitely have heard of them.

Yet that superior fist technique practiced by Lin Yuan was the first time everyone had seen it.

Secondly, it was not hard to see that the Great Arhat Buddha Fist had a deep connection with the Arhat Fist,

matching Lin Yuan's claim of observing the Arhat Fist and comprehending the 'Great Luo Han Buddha Fist'.

In a flash of lightning, the Great Zen Temple Abbot and the several Abbots looked at each other,

a thought simultaneously emerging in their hearts:

Could it be that among this batch of newly accepted Disciples of the Great Zen Temple, a once-in-a-thousand-years martial Dao prodigy had truly appeared?
