Chapter 374: 220 Ancient Assassination Fist (4100)_2 Chapter 374: 220 Ancient Assassination Fist (4100)_2 “In the South Dipper Red Vulture Fist, there is a star chart for the practitioners to meditate and sense. This star chart corresponds to the constellation Aquila in the sky, and when the stars are connected, it forms a giant vulture spreading its wings. Its claws are spread open, ready to swoop down and prey. If the sky is clear tonight, I might show you.”

Casio nodded slightly, he wasn’t the impatient type. Knowing the background framework in detail before practicing boxing was actually beneficial for understanding and could help him immerse better.

Feng Liusi glanced at Casio and nodded imperceptibly, continued to say, “It was this unexpected South Dipper Red Vulture Fist that helped me breakthrough my bottleneck and reach the realm of a fighter. Moreover, based on my experience traversing the Northern Mystery Martial World, the South Dipper Red Vulture Fist is absolutely of first-class Secret Martial Art.”

“Moreover, the more a practitioner aligns with the characteristics of the South Dipper Red Vulture Fist, the more they can unleash the power of the Red Vulture Fist!”

Then Feng Liusi seemed a bit remorseful: “Actually I don’t have a high degree of affinity with the South Dipper Red Vulture Fist, otherwise, I wouldn’t have frequently deviated after practicing to a certain realm.”

After he finished saying this sentence, he looked at Casio with bright and valid eyes, “You are different…Kid, the frenzied state you demonstrated in the battle this afternoon has quite a resonance with the characteristics of South Dipper Red Vulture Fist. That said, don’t blame me for scrutinizing you. Despite your current cold demeanor, your true nature is one of a brutal killer, you are, quite simply, a prime candidate to learn the South Dipper Red Vulture Fist.”

Hearing Feng Liusi’s words, Casio was somewhat unhappy. He had never considered himself a bloodthirsty killer, not before, nor now. His previous state was due to Demon Shadow Possession, resulting in his character being influenced by the indifferent human traits of dark creatures. Now, it was due to the three mental methods of Demon Idol martial arts, which resulted in Casio having another murderous personality. This purely murderous side naturally aligned with the Red Vulture Fist.

If truth be told, Casio considered himself kind and easy to get along with. He was not bloodthirsty by nature.

Just a few days ago, he saved a girl who was tormented by dark creatures. Feng Liusi’s understanding of him was simply too superficial.

But he was too lazy to argue and allowed Feng Liusi to continue.

Feng Liusi eventually began to explain the actual content of the South Dipper Red Vulture Fist, which was of greater interest to Casio.

“The South Dipper Red Vulture Fist is different from the current concept of modern secret martial arts. Rather than being a path for secret martial arts practice, it’s more of a state of cultivation. Compared to the rigid secret martial arts techniques, the South Dipper Red Vulture Fist is freer.”

“Firstly, let’s start with the fundamental framework. The cultivation of the South Dipper Red Vulture Fist focuses on acupuncture points, virtual meridians, and force.” Feng Liusi quickly brought up a concept, “I’ve mentioned the star chart, which represents the constellation Aquila in the sky. The stars are brilliant and bright, and the human body’s acupuncture points are equally mysterious. The South Dipper Red Vulture Fist is about lighting up each of these acupuncture points in the body, treating them like stars.”

“A vast vulture pattern is ultimately formed in the body, and the way to light up the acupuncture points is to infuse them with force. You’ve experienced this force before, which is the Secret Art of the Fang of Death. I simply refer to it as the Deathfang Power, which is a special force characterized by fragmentation and spiraling.”

“The third aspect is the virtual meridians. As a Secret Martial Artist, you should understand the concept of Qi. The Physical Body, Qi, Spirit. Qi travels through the body, serving as a temporary bridge or pathway for a certain special power. By solidifying the path of Qi’s movement in between each acupuncture point, you can guide the Deathfang Power to circulate, accelerate and explode!”

Casio understood some of what Feng Liusi was saying, and he had more knowledge. Based on modern medicine, acupuncture points are often densely packed with blood vessels and nerves, involving cycles of secretion and other systems.

As for Qi, he also had some thoughts and insights.

“With the fundamental framework explained, let’s move on to what I call the South Dipper State. The so-called South Dipper State is a state of inspiration that you sporadically enter after you’ve built the complete fundamental framework within your body. Under this state, your moves will be like a whole, the boxing method terrifyingly natural. Moreover, each insight or sparring session with a master will bring in gains. Over time, you may even create your own Secret Skill or technique.”

“The South Dipper Red Vulture Fist doesn’t really have any sort of Secret Skills. The three techniques I used this afternoon are all the results of my own insights over the past decade.”

“Plus, the Liberation State I entered previously was an enhanced version of the South Dipper State. It can temporarily restore the peak state and allow unfettered use of all sorts of Secret Skills and techniques.”

Feng Liusi glanced at Casio, “The occurrence of the South Dipper State has no rhyme or reason, it generally depends on the affinity between the Secret Martial Artist and the boxing method traits. Simply put, it depends on whether your inner killing intent ebbs and flows intensely and persistently enough. The stronger the desire to kill in your heart, the easier it is to enter and maintain the South Dipper State!”

Casio contemplated a bit before asking, “Is it possible to maintain the South Dipper State at all times, and keep constant inspiration?”

Feng Liusi shook his head, sounding decisive: “My affinity with the South Dipper Red Vulture Fist is average. At my peak, I could only enter the Southern Dipper state for an hour each day. Your affinity is certainly higher than mine, but at most you’d sustain it for two to three hours.”

“Only the naturally-born murderous offenders, the butchers, could possibly maintain it for around six hours. Besides, this state would gradually influence a cultivator’s mentality. Over time, or as one ages and their willpower decreases, they would deviate as I have.”

“There’s even a chance of mental confusion, of losing oneself.”

A flying bug buzzed towards Casio’s face but was casually crushed. As he flicked its remains away with his fingers, Casio continued.

“What about the psychopaths, the ones who know nothing but kill, kill, kill? Those who treat humans like bread, flesh and blood like jam, who disregard the human society, even deny humanity as their own kind, savages like primal beasts?” He looked at Feng Liusi.

“This…” For the first time, Feng Liusi was taken aback. A psychopath couldn’t possibly practice the South Dipper Red Vulture Fist, let alone secret martial arts.

A psychopath’s logic differs from that of normal people; they would likely even struggle to construct the basic framework needed for cultivation.

This was Feng Liusi’s response, but Casio continued probing.

“What if there were such a person? What would happen?”

Feng Liusi furrowed his brow: “If such a person existed, one who disregards humanity and is yet capable of cultivation, they would probably be able to sustain the Southern Dipper state all the time, except when they’re sleeping. They’d also likely ignore the side effects…”

“After all, they’re already mad. Even if they’re influenced further or their mental states are disrupted, how much madder could they get? They would still be psychopaths…” Feng Liusi spoke while pondering.

“Ah, I see.” The Casio opposite him nodded.

What did you understand? Feng Liusi felt something strange about Casio. The questions he had asked just now were oddly peculiar.

He paused briefly but then continued explaining in detail.

They kept on until past seven in the evening, with the sun already set.

In the pitch black, the two still sat cross-legged.

“Senior Blood Fist, why doesn’t the South Dipper Red Vulture Fist have any physical training methods?” Casio, who had heard all the basic contents, asked. All secret martial arts usually include training methods.

“So, as I said before, South Dipper Red Vulture Fist is more like a state than a path. It is simply a combat method, specializing in murderous combat. According to my estimation, all secret martial arts passed down by Southern Dipper only involve this boxing method, pure ancient assassination fist techniques!” Feng Liusi slowly stood up.

He stood tall, shaking off dirt and fallen leaves. Then he looked at Casio, who was also standing, and said, “It’s getting late today, we can talk about the rest of the details tomorrow.”

“One more thing, I can use a special method to let you experience the Southern Dipper state in advance tomorrow. Be prepared psychologically.”

Then, with a tap of his toes, Feng Liusi dashed into the dense woods.

Watching his rapidly receding figure, Casio had a strange thought. What would happen if he entered his killer personality when Feng Liusi let him sense the Southern Dipper state?
