Chapter 379: 223 Finally Becomes a Fighter (4000)_1 Chapter 379: 223 Finally Becomes a Fighter (4000)_1 August 25th, noon.

The sun was somewhat intense, the sky was filled with white, almost blinding halos, making it unbearable to lift one’s head. The light penetrated the dense seaweed-green trees, sprinkling golden fragments over the forest.

The densely arranged trees stood about four or five meters tall, their barks adorned with some grey-green lichen. Swinging around on the lush ground shrubs were unknown white dandelion seeds blowing in from somewhere. Some were stuck to the barks, some fell on the ground, and some were cradled by the leaves.

Suddenly, the dandelions that were afloat in mid-air started drifting and congregating in one direction. A fragment of white got stuck onto a piece of black fabric, slid across the chest for a brief moment, and then continued drifting backwards.

A silhouette was seen moving through the forest’s clearing. Its movements were neither fast nor slow. The sound of crushing leaves can be heard as shoes came into contact with the ground.

On a white-gray tree trunk, what seemed to be furrows like those of an old man’s face, shook slightly. On a closer look, it turned out to be a well-camouflaged long snake, its whole body’s blotches resembling the color of withered branches.

Coiled tightly around the trunk, bearing a triangular head, it was obviously a poisonous snake.

Whoosh… the figure walked past the tree trunk, causing a disturbance in the air.

The snake suddenly sprung out, its upper body leaned forwards, resembling a slingshot. This movement thrust the snake’s head about half a meter forward; the speed was so fast that even a bird would not have had time to react.

In slow motion, the triangular snake head jutted out; the upper and lower jaws parted, revealing two thin, curved tusks.

Just as it was about to bite the silhouette, two fingers surprisingly appeared out of nowhere and blocked the snake’s head. The thumb and index finger, one placed on the upper jaw and the other on the lower jaw, clamped shut the reeking mouth.

The fingers then vanished, as did the silhouette.

It felt as though a ghost had just passed by.

In mid-air, the upper part of a black and gray spotted snake hovered stationary like a rod. Its mouth was closed shut as it stiffly remained in place.

Half a second later, a blink can be seen in the snake’s eyes.

Where was the prey?

It protruded its crimson tongue from its mouth.

Did it just bite something? Or not?

In the moment after it attacked, it seemed that its mouth had automatically closed itself.

Being a snake, it only had instincts; no emotions. It only hovered in mid-air for about a second, sensed a failed attack, and tried to withdraw back onto the tree trunk to rummage for the element of surprise, awaiting the next opportune time to strike. However, the snake’s head pivoted left and right.

It wanted to recoil its body but…

The next second,

Crack, crack, crack!

Along the almost one-meter-long snake body, cracks expanded outward like tree branches at an astonishing speed. Not only did the snake’s flesh crack, the smooth scales on the surface also broke into pieces.

Less than half a breath later, the poisonous snake shattered completely. Like a glass artifact, it disintegrated mid-air, leaving only an intact snake head that fell to the ground, and after rolling around a couple of times, its mouth continued to open and close.

Creaking…

The poisonous snake that had been coiled around the trunk of that tree, left clear traces of its presence. The bark had already decayed, revealing the yellow-white wood beneath. The wooden surface even bore scale-like patterns.

No, they weren’t patterns, they were dense cracks.

Whoosh~

A gust of wind blew above the forest.

Like the final straw that broke the camel’s back,

A tree trunk, as thick as half a man, fell directly to the ground. The upper part crashed into the ground with a deafening noise, causing a shower of crushed wood to spray out of the broken cross-sectional surface like a small yellow rain.

The bears’ roars echoed faintly near the waterfall.

However, the roar sounded more miserable than intimidating, which was unlike the ferociousness during hunting, or the dominance when marking their territory. Instead, it resembled the threat voiced by an injured beast, or one short of breath when encountering a strong adversary.

In the dense forest, a giant bear over three meters tall was roaring wildly. It was distinctly different from normal bears, as its spine was covered in white bone armor. Even its mane was many times more rigid and shorter.

Standing opposite the giant bear, was a blond youth about 1.75m tall, quietly holding an old, yellowish book. On the open book, the first line was a handwritten bold title.

“Dismemberment chapter”.

Yes, this is the chapter of South Dipper Red Vulture Fist. It is what Feng Liusi has been teaching Casio continuously for the past two months.

The South Dipper Red Vulture Fist is comprised of three main chapters:

“Acupoints Chapter” “Force Chapter” “Dismemberment Chapter”

Unlike the secret martial arts of the secret martial arts world, these three chapters have no particular order. They merely encompass the different aspects that define the South Dipper Red Vulture Fist, and are not categorized into progressive stages.

It’s not like the Gale Chapter and Elephant Herd Chapter of the Wind Elephant Fist.

One must master all three aspects to master the South Dipper Red Vulture Fist. While one could specialize in one, it is crucial to progress on all fronts.

South Dipper Red Vulture Fist is an Ancient Assassination Fist, and classifications that are accepted in the secret martial arts world do not do it justice. Feng Liusi directly told Casio that the South Dipper Red Vulture Fist is not divided into first or second levels, nor is it categorized into minor or major accomplishments or perfection.

The progress of South Dipper Red Vulture Fist cultivation depends on the acupoints.

Which is to say, the progress of the development of the sixty-six acupoints.

To start learning South Dipper Red Vulture Fist, one must build the underlying structure in their body, which is a Vulture Star diagram formed by the sixty-six acupoints together. The martial artist needs to use the Deathfang Power to gradually connect all acupoints before interconnecting them to form a network of virtual meridians.
