"I see you have a lot of courage, which suits my temperament. Today I'll be kind and not absorb your internal energy."
"Go back to where you came from!"
Li Yao said, "Now that I've come, I won't leave empty-handed."
Gu Santong frowned and asked, puzzled, "Oh, what do you want from me?"
Li Yao said, "I've heard that you are the number one martial arts master in the world."
Gu Santong's expression immediately darkened, and he said, "I am no longer the best in the world. Although Lao Zhu Luo defeated me by half a move with his schemes and tricks back then, a defeat is a defeat. I, Gu Santong, am not someone who can't accept defeat."
Li Yao shook his head and said, "It seems that these twenty years in prison have worn down your fighting spirit!"
After saying that, he quickly flicked his fingers four times.
With four clanging sounds, the four thick iron chains binding Gu Santong's wrists and legs broke.
Gu Santong was greatly surprised.
What bound him was a chain of profound iron, which even the sharpest swords would find difficult to cut.
Unexpectedly, this kid in front of me broke the iron chain with just his finger strength.
Of course, these mysterious iron chains couldn't restrain him at all.
He willingly allowed himself to be locked up!
He stretched his limbs, looked at Li Yao incredulously, and said, "Kid, your kung fu is not bad. I underestimated you."
Li Yao said, "I am a martial arts fanatic just like you. I heard that the number one martial arts master in the world is imprisoned on the ninth floor of the Heavenly Prison by Zhu Wushi, so I came here. I want to spar with you."
Gu Santong shook his head and said, "Although your kung fu is quite good, and although I have been locked up here for twenty years, I'm afraid you have no chance of defeating me."
Li Yao nodded in satisfaction and said, "Very good, that's the attitude I want. Be confident, don't be discouraged!"
Gu Santong was stunned for a moment. He thought he had a rather strange temper, but he didn't expect to meet someone with an even stranger temper today.
Li Yao found a place to sit down, and tossed a roast chicken and a pot of fine wine in front of Gu Santong, saying:
"In the past twenty years, you probably haven't had a decent meal or drink."
"You should eat and drink your fill first, then we can have a contest, so that no one will say I'm bullying a starving old man."
Indeed, Gu Santong was imprisoned for twenty years and could only rely on his "Sucking Technique" to feed on small animals such as spiders, cockroaches, and geckos around him.
If it were anyone else, they would probably have starved to death long ago without food.
It's a miracle that Gu Santong has survived until now.
Gu Santong hadn't eaten real meat and wine for twenty years, and his eyes immediately lit up when he saw the meat and wine that Li Yao had brought.
Without any hesitation, he grabbed a roast chicken with one hand and a wine jug with the other, gnawing on the chicken while gulping down the wine.
In no time at all, he devoured a whole roasted chicken and a pot of fine wine.
He wiped his greasy mouth as he said, "Kid, you're quite interesting."
Li Yao stood up and said, "Alright, let's begin our sparring."
Chapter 144 Absorption Technique, Indestructible Vajra Divine Skill
Having enjoyed fine wine and meat, Gu Santong had completely changed and become full of energy.
As expected of Gu Santong, his strength recovered so quickly.
Gu Santong wiped his greasy mouth and said, "Since you brought me meat and wine, I'll spar with you a few times."
A glint of excitement flashed in Li Yao's eyes, and he deliberately provoked Gu Santong with his words: "Considering your advanced age, I'll let you make the first move."
Gu Santong chuckled and said, "Interesting, then I won't stand on ceremony."
After saying that, he flipped his hand and slapped Li Yao.
Li Yao frowned, realizing that Gu Santong's palm strike was unremarkable and clearly just a perfunctory gesture.
He did not dodge, allowing Gu Santong to strike him directly with a palm.
Bang!
Gu Santong's expression changed as he felt a powerful counterforce spontaneously emanating from Li Yao's body, which made his hands go numb.
This seems somewhat similar to his Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill, but he is certain that it is not.
He frowned and couldn't help but ask, "What kind of strange skill is this?"
Li Yao said with dissatisfaction, "Are you just tickling me? Or show me your real skills."
Gu Santong chuckled and said, "Alright, I won't hold back this time, so you'd better watch out."
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly struck out with his palm.
The palm strike was incredibly powerful and its momentum was immense.
Suddenly, a whirlwind swept through the entire cell, and the air was compressed and crackled.
Only then did Li Yao reveal a satisfied smile, and he threw a punch with a bang.
The two became entangled in a fierce battle.
Boom boom boom...
The entire cell was trembling incessantly, as if it had been bombarded.
Both of them are martial arts fanatics!
Both of them are top-notch masters!
The two became more and more excited as the battle progressed!
The two fought with increasing ferocity!
Soon, the two had exchanged dozens of blows.
Ta-da!
At some point, Gu Santong had changed drastically.
Countless golden lights burst forth from his body, and his entire body, from top to bottom, seemed to be covered with a layer of gold dust.
He looked as if he had turned into a bronze statue.
Invincible Vajra Divine Skill!
Just as Gu Santong transformed, Li Yao also unleashed his Vajra Indestructible Body Divine Skill.
Gu Santong's expression changed drastically, and he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "How do you also know the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill?"
Li Yao laughed and said, "No, no, this is the Vajra Indestructible Body Divine Skill, a genuine Shaolin Divine Skill."
These two divine skills have very similar names and even very similar effects; both can make one invulnerable to swords and spears.
However, these two divine skills have one obvious difference.
The Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill allows for transformation, but the Vajra Indestructible Body Divine Skill does not.
The Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill likely originated from the Vajra Indestructible Body Divine Skill of Shaolin.
However, the creator modified some cultivation methods to show off, unleashing potential and enabling the user to transform into a golden body, which was extremely cool.
Of course, being cool comes at a price.
Once transformed, the indestructible body can only be maintained for a period of time.
Of course, the higher the skill level, the longer the duration.
However, once the transformation disappears, it becomes extremely vulnerable.
Unlike the Vajra Indestructible Body Divine Skill, which can make one invulnerable to swords and spears for a long time.
Therefore, over time, the advantages and disadvantages of both will become apparent.
Sure enough, after a battle, the golden light on Gu Santong's body gradually dissipated.
Li Yao unleashed a punch that sent Gu Santong flying, crashing into the cell wall before falling to the ground.
"Cough cough cough..."
Gu Santong coughed violently a few times and got up from the ground.
He clutched his chest, shook his head, and said, "It seems I'm getting old. I haven't set foot in the martial world for twenty years, and I never expected that there would be such a top-notch master in the martial world, and so young at that. Truly, the younger generation is to be feared."
At this moment, Li Yao had no interest in listening to Gu Santong's reflections.
On the floor of the cell, various colored attribute orbs were scattered.
He glanced around.
The raised tones rose and fell in succession.
Gu Santong is simply a treasure trove of martial arts knowledge.
Every year, Zhu Wushi would send over masters from the eight major sects to test whether Gu Santong's martial arts had declined.
As a result, all the masters from the eight major sects had their true energy and martial arts skills drained by Gu Santong's Absorption Technique.
Therefore, Gu Santong learned the martial arts of the eight major schools.
Now, it's all benefiting Li Yao.
Gu Santong originally knew the Absorption Technique and the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill.
In addition, there are the martial arts of the eight major sects.
Such as the Emei Flying Phoenix Heart-Piercing Palm, the Kunlun Blazing Palm, the Huashan Jade Maiden Sword, and the Shaolin Tendon-Dislocating Bone-Shattering Hand...
Now, they've all fallen into Li Yao's hands.
"Ding! The gift pack has been successfully opened. Congratulations, host, you have obtained the cultivation technique: 'Indestructible Vajra Divine Art'. Do you wish to consume 500 Luck Points to integrate this technique into the fourth level of 'The Great Dao True Scripture'?"
Since the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill originated from the Vajra Indestructible Body Divine Skill, and the fourth level of the Great Dao True Scripture was derived by incorporating the Vajra Indestructible Body Divine Skill.
Therefore, the system prompted the user to integrate the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill into the fourth level of the Great Dao True Scripture to perfect the fourth level's techniques.
To Li Yao's surprise, this technique also included spiritual cultivation.
