Chapter 178: 【108】Fishing Toad Force, Golden Toad Skill_6
"Five million..." Wang Longhu was stunned.
Although once a Martial Artist can train to Huajin, they are no longer just experts, but Grandmasters.
But even for Huajin Grandmasters, if they don't have their own businesses, earning five million is not easy.
Because sometimes, even if you have the ability, there isn't always a suitable opportunity to use it.
"That's right, I want to offer five million to ask for your help. At that time, I will go to Vietnam to find my three treacherous martial brothers and kill them to avenge my master." Fifth Master said with utmost sincerity.
Over the years, he has been working with Zheng Song and has earned close to ten million, but training as a Martial Artist is costly. These five million are practically Fifth Master's life savings.
Willing to spend it all to hire Wang Longhu demonstrates his deep loyalty and righteousness.
"Alright, within five years, when I've mastered Huajin, I'll find you," Wang Longhu thought it over and agreed.
Currently, he doesn't have a stable income from martial arts, and getting a large order like this from Fifth Master means he won't have to worry about food for a long time.
"Thank you, take this letter. Years ago, in Wudang, I befriended someone. When you reach Wudang Mountain in E Province, you can take this letter to find a Daoist named Tianle, who might be able to help you with matters related to Fishing Toad Force."
Fifth Master took out a brand-new envelope and handed it to Wang Longhu. As soon as Wang Longhu accepted it, Fifth Master leaped off the tree and quickly disappeared into the hills in a blink.
"Fifth Master has these connections, who knew, it's reliable." Wang Longhu looked at the envelope in his hand and felt relieved.
As they say, "Guests are hard to approach, acquaintances handle things easily." With Fifth Master's recommendation letter, learning Fishing Toad Force could become much easier.
Once Fifth Master left, Wang Longhu immediately started practicing one-arm pull-ups again.
Now that his strength and physique have reached the limit of current human capabilities, Wang Longhu's potential has nowhere to go and so he can only improve his Spirit.
What impact Spirit has on a Martial Artist, Wang Longhu hasn't quite felt yet.
Before Huajin is achieved, perfecting the skills he has mastered has also become part of Wang Longhu's plan.
Half an hour passed, and the proficiency in his training increased slowly by two points, upgrading successfully, providing Wang Longhu with some potential points.
Rather than saving them, Wang Longhu spent all the potential points in one go to boost his Spirit attribute.
Instantly, Wang Longhu felt his mind become incredibly clear, thoughts unfolding smoothly, as if his perceptions of the world were slightly altered.
Looking into the distance, Wang Longhu saw two chirping mountain sparrows. As his gaze focused, the sparrows seemed to sense danger, shivering suddenly.
The next second, flapping their wings, they flew off the branch, escaping far away.
Wild animals have very keen senses; a slight movement or the feeling of being watched can make them instantly alert, allowing for anticipatory avoidance.
But ordinary people can't make animals feel watched; this belongs to the Daoist School's area of metaphysics.
In folk sayings, this is similar to what is known as 'killing intent.'
It's said that ruthlessly skilled people with many lives taken can terrify others with just a gaze, and some butchers who've killed poultry for many years can scare animals away at first sight.
This is the invisible killing intent present in people, intertwined with Spirit.
It's not that killing more animals surrounds you with killing intent, but that killing more subtly changes your Spirit, forming a fierce aura.
Originally, Wang Longhu's Spirit wasn't enough to make animals feel endangered by a single look. But now, with a boost to Spirit, his mental state began to change significantly.
When Martial Artists duel, the closer their skill level is, the less room there is for error.
If one's gaze can intimidate the opponent's mind, it's indeed a terrifying strategy; even a split second of intimidation can allow an expert to counterattack.
Mastering this ability to an advanced level would be a deadly move for a Martial Artist.
"Interesting," Wang Longhu chuckled as he watched the sparrows disappear from view.
It seems Spirit has a vast unexplored realm within itself.
Sometimes, a person's Spirit being strong is scarier than their physical strength, like those from Zen, Esoteric Buddhism, who cultivate Spirit.
The rumors speak of mighty beings who can levitate a feather, or with sheer Spirit strength have the Power of One Elephant to subdue a lion; these feats are entirely unimaginable to ordinary people, akin to the legendary immortals.
But for these tales, Wang Longhu currently doesn't believe them. His current strength already surpasses 90% of humans, still only just a few horse powers.
Compared to the Power of One Elephant, a horse's strength is insufficient.
In Buddhist parlance, strength is divided into horse, elephant, and dragon; ten horses make one elephant, ten elephants make one dragon.
Having the strength of a dragon and elephant already marks one as Vajra, Arhat, Buddha, supreme beings beyond human reach.
"I wonder how things would change if I boosted Spirit to the extreme 4.0," Wang Longhu pondered.
No point overthinking; at this moment, thinking won't do any good. Wang Longhu resumed his training.
Using this leisure time, he needed to quickly elevate fundamental fitness to perfection, to see if any special effects would arise as the priority.
