MTLNOVEL Chapter 177: 【108】Fishing Toad Force, Golden Toad Skill_5
If you're talking about the authentic Fishing Toad Force, it's quite difficult. Practicing Fishing Toad Force to the level of Wudang Golden Toad Skill, also known as Swallowing Qi Skill or Great Toad Qi, is said to have the ambition of 'swallowing the sun and moon'. It is a single-lineage secret of Wudang, not revealed to outsiders.
Back then, Yang Luchan's disciple Li Ruidong, famously known as 'Nose Li' in Jinmen, had reached extraordinary levels in Tai Chi, yet he was defeated by an old man, about a hundred years old, named Gan Danran. He was a descendant of the Qing-era hero Gan Fengchi and inherited the Tai Chi skills of the Wudang Jiangnan Golden Toad sect.
Gan Danran managed to defeat Li Ruidong entirely relying on the Fishing Toad Force. Later, Gan Danran taught the Fishing Toad Force to Li Ruidong, and it exists in the Tai Chi style passed down by Li Ruidong, but the practice methods of the Toad Skill have never been made public by the inheritors of Li's Tai Chi.
Wang Longhu rubbed his hands: "So, to learn the authentic Fishing Toad Force, I'd either have to seek the secret teachings of Wudang or learn it from the inheritors of Li's Tai Chi."
"That's about right. After all, the number of people who know it is small. Not many martial artists documented in martial arts books have the Fishing Toad Force. However, I suggest that your success rate might be higher at Wudang. The inheritors of Li's Tai Chi treat the Fishing Toad Force as a family treasure and definitely won't teach it to you, an outsider. Going there might just meet with a cold reception." Master Wei nodded.
"Alright, I understand. Thank you, Master Wei, for your insights." Wang Longhu stood up to express his gratitude and then walked out the door.
His progress in the Exhale technique was rapid, and it was estimated that he wouldn't need a month to reach the level of Dark Force needed for point striking. Thus, the Fishing Toad Force would become crucial. Wang Longhu must find a way to obtain it swiftly to avoid delaying his martial arts progress.
Watching Wang Longhu's figure leaving, Master Wei muttered thoughtfully, "I just used Dark Force to probe the internal structure of this guy's body; his physical condition is unbelievably strong. Who on earth is this person?"
In this vast land of China, there are countless extraordinary individuals.
Even after going through wars, as long as someone inherits the legacies left by the ancestors, there will be no shortage of people with great wisdom receiving true transmission.
Therefore, Master Wei couldn't discern the exact origins of Wang Longhu.
However, Wang Longhu's good relationship with Zheng Song's son, Zheng Dongliang, naturally also connects him with Zheng Song.
Knowing such a young and strong martial artist can be a significant help to Zheng Song, no matter how wealthy he is.

In the deep mountains outside the Zheng family's factory, at the top of a tree over ten meters high, Wang Longhu was quickly doing one-arm pull-ups with one hand gripping the branch.
Not long after, a figure swiftly approached from a distance and soon reached the treetop, standing on a nearby branch and sizing up Wang Longhu's training: "You're the most diligent martial artist I've ever met. Yesterday, Monk Wei just helped you set your bones, and this morning you're already training again without resting. It seems that talent and hard work are inseparable for success."
The newcomer was none other than Fifth Master.
"It was my right arm that was set, what's it got to do with me training with my left?" Wang Longhu replied calmly.
"President Zheng plans to take Xiaoliang and leave Min Province these days to stay in the north for a while. Do you have any plans?" Fifth Master squatted and couldn't help but ask.
"Zheng Dongliang is going north... it's indeed a good place, surely safer than hiding here. Even if the Lu family is bold, they wouldn't dare to reach into the north." Wang Longhu thought for a moment, "I plan to head to Wudang after I've fully achieved Dark Force Point Striking."
"For the Fishing Toad Force?"
"Yes."
"It's good to be young; you can still have hopes. I came to find you today to tell you that I'm also going back to the Ancient Temple."
Wang Longhu immediately stopped his actions upon hearing this, "You're going back so soon, Fifth Master?"
"Yes, it's hard to catch any poisons outside this mountain, making Inner Power training troublesome. Brother Longhu, could I do some business with you?" Fifth Master suddenly looked troubled and probed with some difficulty.
"Fifth Master, you say, what business?" Wang Longhu had never seen Fifth Master like this before, it probably wasn't something simple.
"If you manage to achieve Huajin within five years, can I hire you for five million to make a trip with me to Vietnam?"
Wang Longhu was startled for a moment, suddenly recalling the past that Fifth Master had talked about when they first met.
Aside from the martial brother turned wretched who was caught by Fifth Master and imprisoned in the dungeon, there are still three members of the Five Poison Sect now living freely in Vietnam.
It seems that over the years, Fifth Master has always been thinking about avenging his master, but he is alone and weak. Going to Vietnam, a place unfamiliar to him, makes seeking revenge immensely difficult.
With the complex situation in Vietnam, even if Zheng Song was willing to help, it would be useless. Only by bringing an elite force could they carry out a stealthy decapitation operation.
And Wang Longhu is currently the best candidate Fifth Master could find. If Wang Longhu truly achieves Huajin within five years, the hope of avenging in Vietnam would become very high.
