Immortality Martial Arts: I Started with the Five Animals Health Fist

“Although both styles of fist technique were created based on the characteristics of animals, their natures are completely different. One is for health cultivation, and the other is for actual combat, but since they share the same origin, there must be commonalities. Perhaps… this Form-Intention Fist could provide me with some inspiration!”

Su Changkong’s eyes brightened more and more as he flipped through the introduction to Form-Intention Fist, and he decided that he must study this fist technique carefully.

“Second Sister, may I take this secret manual back to study?”

With the manual of Form-Intention Fist in hand, Su Changkong approached the entrance and spoke to Sikong Huang who was waiting there.

“Form-Intention Fist? Okay,” Sikong Huang glanced at the secret manual Su Changkong was holding, nodded in agreement, but couldn’t help adding, “Although Form-Intention Fist is quite profound, it’s not the most top-notch fist technique in the Giant Whale Gang.”

Naturally, Form-Intention Fist was not lacking, but there were at least five or six fist techniques in the Giant Whale Gang that surpassed it. Now, with so little time, would Su Changkong truly benefit from researching this Form-Intention Fist?

Su Changkong smiled, “For me, what’s most important is what suits me best!”

Even with high talent, studying other fist techniques would not enable Su Changkong to surpass the Five Animal Frolics in a matter of months. However, Su Changkong took this Form-Intention Fist manual to research and borrow from it, to gain insight and thereby elevate his own fist technique to a new level!

“Hmm…” Sikong Huang nodded slightly, aware that Su Changkong had his own plans, and she could not interfere.

Carrying the Form-Intention Fist manual, Su Changkong left the Scripture Pavilion with Sikong Huang and immediately returned to his residence in the great hall, eager to study “Form-Intention Fist”.

“Form-Intention Fist of the Twelve Forms, created based on twelve different animals, is not only a practical fist technique combining offense and defense but, in-depth, can also improve one’s physique to a certain extent, causing a metamorphosis that prolongs life.”

As he browsed through the Form-Intention Fist manual, Su Changkong was utterly engrossed.

This Form-Intention Fist indeed had many similarities with the Five Animal Frolics, but its characteristics were distinctly different.

The Five Animal Frolics primarily focuses on health cultivation, working on the spirit, while Form-Intention Fist is mainly for combat, training the energy!

The twelve forms, each with its distinct characteristics, result in different forces being cultivated; for instance, the tiger form exudes a force that’s unstoppable and ferociously brave, while the bear form has a force that is powerful and earth-shaking!

“If I integrate the characteristics of this Form-Intention Fist into my Five Animal Frolics, my Five Animal Frolics will undergo earth-shattering changes!”

Su Changkong’s eyes shone brightly.

All martial arts are constantly evolving and changing. For example, the Five Animal Frolics, having been modified by many, is no longer in its original form, and the same goes for Form-Intention Fist, which evolved from the original Five Elements Xing Yi Quan to the Six Harmony Mind Fist and expanded to include the twelve forms.

Martial Arts is never static or self-limiting, but rather must continuously be innovated and refreshed!

And now, Su Changkong was planning to refine his Five Animal Frolics to take it to the next level!

“Let’s give it a try!”

After memorizing the fist sequences of Form-Intention Fist, Su Changkong immediately began his training.

“Tiger form!”

Su Changkong bent his knees in a bow stance as if a fierce tiger stepping through, coordinating his hand technique with his footwork, each punch and movement domineering and fierce.

“Bear form!”

His momentum shifted, Su Changkong froze his body, both his fist and footwork became slow but powerful. Each gesture and step resembled a towering bear standing upright, solid and forceful!

The tiger, deer, bear, monkey, and bird from the Five Animal Frolics could all find corresponding forms within these twelve forms of Form-Intention Fist. Although all derived from the same kind of animal, the characteristics were distinctly different, giving a sense of all things returning to their origins.

“So that’s it… In Form-Intention Fist, the form is just the surface, the intention is the essence! Form is flesh! Intent is soul!”

Su Changkong had a potential value of 22 points, and his aptitude and insight were certainly unparalleled among geniuses. He hadn’t been practicing Form-Intention Fist for long before he began to have continuous breakthroughs in understanding.

“Let’s try integrating the characteristics of Form-Intention Fist into the Five Animal Frolics!”

Subsequently, Su Changkong blended the Five Animal Frolics with Form-Intention Fist, constantly practicing and comparing the two, seeking their strengths, and integrating them into one.

In the great hall, Su Changkong was immersed in this wonderful sensation. His Five Animal Frolics, which had not improved significantly for quite some time, now seemed to have an epiphany of inspiration, as if blessed by the divine. The Five Animal Frolics, which had already reached a transcendental realm, were assimilating the essence of Form-Intention Fist and making it their own!

Five Animal Frolics (Realm 8 Transcendence 24%)

In just one day, Su Changkong’s proficiency in Five Animal Frolics had skyrocketed!

This feeling was like a field parched from drought, now irrigated and moistened by rainwater, sprouting roots and bursting forth with new life!

“Boom!”

In his state of absorbed cultivation, the Strong Blood Pills that Su Changkong had ingested were being steadily digested, Qi and blood burgeoning, providing a surge of robust energy, nourishing Su Changkong’s body, augmenting his Qi and blood, causing his body to undergo a metamorphosis and step toward a higher realm.

“So that’s it… Although my Five Animal Frolics has been diligently practiced every day, progress has been exceedingly slow after reaching the 8th realm, simply because it has hit a limit in its ability to train me. My body has grown accustomed to this form of conditioning. Just like exercising the body, if the same kind of sport is performed too often, it won’t be as effective as when it was new. In such a case, one usually switches to a completely different kind of sport for variation!”

In this process, Su Changkong’s understanding grew deeper and deeper.

Ordinary people don’t just do one kind of exercise when training their body; they use various types of workouts in combination. This not only enables them to train more parts of the body but also prevents the body from becoming too adapted to a single activity.
