Chapter 1534: Chapter 1533: Henglian Grandmaster!

Lin Dong subsequently started learning the remaining national art techniques here.

"Vajra Finger," Lin Dong murmured, and then immediately began to study.

In about three minutes, he had a basic understanding of Vajra Finger!

After reaching this level, Lin Dong didn’t continue to delve into the technique; to study it until he reached the level of a master or grandmaster would be too time-consuming.

He simply didn’t have that much time now.

After he had a basic grasp of Vajra Finger, Lin Dong moved on to practice other national art techniques.

Most of them he understood in less than three minutes.

Seeing this, the remnant soul of Yangxin Upper People was even more surprised and couldn’t help but say, "Truly a prodigious genius, an unrivaled juggernaut!"

"If I had this talent back then, I could have completely dominated my era!"

As Lin Dong continued to grasp and learn national art techniques, the remnant soul of Yangxin Upper People became increasingly amazed.

In just half a day, Lin Dong had grasped all five hundred kinds of national art techniques of the first layer.

After comprehending them all, Lin Dong bowed with his fists clasped towards the remnant soul of Yangxin Upper People and said,

"Senior, I have now grasped all the national art techniques of the first layer, thank you very much."

The remnant soul of Yangxin Upper People shook his head, "I hope that once you go out, you will be able to spread and greatly promote them."

"Furthermore, the upper five levels each have their respective national art techniques as well as some of my insights from my lifetime. You can learn them too."

"Thank you, Senior," Lin Dong said gratefully once again.

The remnant soul of Yangxin Upper People nodded and said, "Although you are the most monstrously talented person I have ever seen, you will still find it challenging to get through the Six-layer Martial Tower. Do not become arrogant."

"Yes, thank you for the warning, Senior."

After finishing these words, Lin Dong stepped towards the staircase leading to the second challenge.

At this moment, the remnant soul of Yangxin Upper People also slowly faded away.

Second floor of the National Technique Tower.

Upon ascending, Lin Dong found that this level was smaller than the first.

In the center, there was still a stone stump with the undying lantern lit on top from the first floor, casting light on the murals on the wall.

Lin Dong discovered that the murals on this second layer were all about the horizontal training aspect of national art techniques.

Besides that, there were many insights.

"It’s rare to see such a young challenger. However, I still won’t go easy on you," a resonant voice said at this time.

Lin Dong looked over towards the source of the voice and saw a person curled up under Table.

The person had his limbs folded and entwined, clearly a big man, yet his whole body fit under Table.

Moreover, he was still in the midst of performing a highly difficult body conditioning movement!

Lin Dong saw that he was supporting his folded body and Table with just one finger.

Only then did Lin Dong realize that Table was suspended in the air and, moreover, had a heavy iron block placed on it.

That iron block must weigh at least a few thousand pounds!

A strength like this at least belonged to a Henglian Grandmaster.

"Hello Senior, I am the challenger who has come here," Lin Dong looked over at the other party and said politely.

"What’s good about me? I’ve been stuck here for hundreds of years, I’m good for nothing," the person said gruffly.

Lin Dong felt awkward, unsure of how to respond.

But he was curious in his heart, who was this person?

It seemed he had lived for hundreds of years!

And it also seemed like he had been locked here for hundreds of years!

Yes, this person wasn’t just some soul remnant, but a real person. A living, breathing person.

His strength, Lin Dong could not see through.

"Kid, are you wondering who I am? Why am I saying that I have been locked here for hundreds of years?" the person seemed to know what was going on in Lin Dong’s mind and asked aloud.

Lin Dong nodded.

"Hehe, I don’t mind telling you. I am Meng Tian, the first Henglian Grandmaster who dominated the world hundreds of years ago! The reason I said I’ve been locked here for hundreds of years is because I made a bet with Yangxin Upper People long ago, and after losing, I voluntarily locked myself here to be the guardian of the second floor."

"I see," Lin Dong understood.

"Actually, I could leave at any time if I wanted to. However, since I promised that Yangxin Upper People to guard the tower, I need to honor my promise."

"Moreover, for me, this isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Here, I can focus solely on studying the Martial Way!"

"Hahaha, I’ve spoken a bit much. Maybe it’s because I haven’t talked to anyone for so long, it’s getting a bit stifling, huh?"

"Now, back to the matter at hand. In order to get past me, it’s quite simple. You just have to withstand one incense stick’s time while fighting me."

Upon hearing this, Lin Dong slightly changed his expression; although the other person was a martial artist from hundreds of years ago, in reality his strength was inferior to Lin Dong’s.

Withstand one incense stick’s time in his hand? That seemed pretty simple.

However, the other person seemed to have detected what Lin Dong was thinking and laughingly said,

"Young man, are you thinking that with your level-eight Grandmaster’s strength, withstanding one incense stick’s time in my hand would be a piece of cake?"

"But, let me tell you, it’s not as simple as you think."

"Don’t think having the strength of a level-eight Grandmaster will suffice, for here, there is a force that will suppress your realm to be the same as mine."

"So, beating me won’t be that simple. You must bring out your true skills."

Only then did Lin Dong realize, indeed there was a mysterious force, binding him.

He could normally exert the strength of a level-eight Grandmaster, but now he was constrained by that mysterious force, meaning he could only exhibit the strength of a Sixth Stage Grandmaster.

And this Meng Tian, the Henglian Grandmaster, was exactly at this Sixth Stage Grandmaster level.

This was the challenge of the second floor!

If your strength surpassed his, your realm would be compressed to be equal to his.

However, if the opponent’s strength exceeded yours, their realm, too, would be suppressed to equal strength.

After that, it would all come down to your fighting skills.

"Let’s begin now, kid, bring out your real strength."

At this moment, the Henglian Grandmaster roared and shouted at Lin Dong.

Then, a terrifying surge of Qi emerged from his body.

He slowly stood up from under Table and Chairs, forming a towering giant over two meters tall.

"Boom!" At the same time, a surge of Qi spread out, and a golden light shield enveloped Meng Tian’s body.

Seeing this, Lin Dong’s expression subtly changed, and he softly said, "A Grandmaster Realm’s Hard Kungfu Golden Bell Shield!"
