Chapter Eighteen: Martial Arts Analysis Instrument

  As he walked into the library, Qin Lang was shocked by everything in front of him.

  The entire collection of books in the library is divided into two parts, east and west, with a passageway running down the middle. At the end of the passageway lies the staircase leading to the second floor. However, Qin Lang didn't even give the staircase a glance. Lin Xun had said that he could freely browse through the books on this first floor. That meant that he shouldn't go up to the second floor himself.

  Qin Lang was very satisfied with this. One cannot be too greedy.

  On the first floor east, there are some ordinary books, including books introducing the history of Qinghai Province, collections about Ziyang Star, and books collecting various recipes, as well as general literary works.

  Qin Lang didn't have the slightest interest in these. Looking at the books stored in the west again, Qin Lang's eyes suddenly widened, and his entire pupil was covered with a fiery heat.

  There are obviously fewer books on the west side than on the east side. Only a dozen or so books were scattered on several tables. Some of these books had already been covered with a layer of dust, and it was clear that no one had flipped through them for a long time. And some of the books had their dust clearly wiped off, obviously having been recently read and studied.

  Are these the martial arts classics collected by the Lin family?

  Qin Lang took a few deep breaths, slightly calming the excitement in his heart. He reached out and picked up a book that had been recently browsed by someone. This book must have its own uniqueness to be browsed by others.

  Holding the book in his hand, Qin Lang felt a sense of vicissitudes from the yellowed pages. It was as if holding this book allowed him to feel the passage of time and the vicissitudes of all things.

  Opening the cover, on the first page, a few large characters were written in a dragon and phoenix dance style: "Kumuquan Method". Below the big characters, several lines of small characters were written. The small characters clearly stated that the creator of this "Kumuquan" was a predecessor named Kumu, and also recorded the brief situation of practicing "Kumuquan Method".

  "Ku Mu Quan Fa", as the name suggests, transforms the practitioner's body into a withered tree, extremely hard and unyielding. The fist technique is fierce and powerful, capable of shattering stone and cutting through metal when mastered to its ultimate level.

  However, the side effects of this "Ku Mu Quan" are not small. When cultivating, all body fat will be burned out, and muscles will also be greatly condensed. At the same time as the body becomes strong and hard, the whole person looks like a withered wood. Of course, this Ku Mu Quan can also be cultivated as a general martial art, as long as it is not cultivated too deeply, the side effects will not be too obvious.

  "This kind of martial art is powerful enough, but it's not suitable for me to practice. Martial arts are supposed to be a way to strengthen the body and improve one's health, but this 'Kongmu Fist Method' seems to have things backwards." Qin Lang thought to himself as he held onto the Kongmu Fist Method manual.

  Just as Qin Huan was about to put it down, he clearly felt a warm golden current emanating from the depths of his dantian. This warm current flowed out of the dantian and quickly spread throughout Qin Huan's entire body, finally gathering at his brow point.

  A line of golden font appeared in Qin Lin's mind.

  "Kareki-ken"

  Martial arts category: Body Refining Martial Arts

  Martial Arts Level: Yellow Rank Middle Stage

  Power: One Star

  Secret: Not recommended for cultivation of this martial art

  "What? What's going on?" Qin Lang was stunned for three minutes, putting down and picking up the "Kumuquan" in his hand. When that line of golden font appeared in his mind again, a strong sense of joy surged up in Qin Lang's heart.

  "Could it be that my body still has the function of examining and analyzing martial arts?" Qin Lin muttered to himself, "Doesn't that mean that from now on, every time I encounter a type of martial art, I'll immediately know its level, power, and whether or not it's suitable for me to cultivate?"

  Various thoughts surged in his mind, and as he looked at the dozen or so martial art classics placed in front of him, Qin Lang suddenly felt elevated.

  "We've struck it rich! We've really hit the jackpot this time!"

  He put down the "Kongmu Boxing Method" and Qin Lang eagerly picked up another martial arts book. Without looking at the font on the book, Qin Lang simply closed his eyes and carefully felt the changes within his body.

  It was still that warm golden current, after filling the whole body, and then forming several lines of golden characters in the mind again.

  "Mountain Splitting Palm Technique"

  Martial arts category: Palm technique

  Martial Arts Level: Yellow Rank Primary Stage

  Power: One Star

  The secret lies in transforming fists into palms, and palms into mountains, using the momentum of shattering rocks to crush the enemy.

  Qin Huai picked up another one and continued to feel it.

  "Panlong Fist"

  Martial arts category: Staff technique

  Martial Arts Level: Yellow Rank Middle Stage

  Power: One Star

  The secret lies in: the stick is no longer than an eyebrow, the body and feet must follow each other, the tiger's mouth faces the tiger's mouth, and people turn upside down.

  Qin Lang picked up one book after another, only to put them down again. He looked at the secret manuals of this book, but they were all just so-called yellow-level Gongfa. Although Qin Lang was not very clear about the level of Gongfa, looking at their power, they were all just one star. Looking at the small golden stars for a moment, he felt somewhat dissatisfied in his heart.

  "This illustrious Lin family, it's impossible that they all practice such low-level martial arts secrets, right?" Qin Lang muttered to himself, looking at the staircase leading to the second floor, but he shook his head.

  Let's choose from here, if not, we can only choose the tallest among the dwarfs. The analogy that Master Lin said won't last for many days, let's take advantage of this period and cultivate a kind of martial arts, it's not bad.

  He picked up another one, but after a moment, he shook his head again and put it down.

  "Heavenly Father, have a kind heart and grant me a decent martial art!" Qin Lang howled as he looked at the last remaining martial art.

  Clutching the last glimmer of hope, Qin Lang picked up the last book on martial arts. At this point, he actually didn't hold much hope anymore. Heaven wasn't that easy to sway, you couldn't just wail a couple of times and have it listen to you.

  However, Qin Lang clearly felt that the warm current in his body was much stronger than before, and the speed at which it gathered in his mind was slightly slower than before.

  A few lines of golden font reappeared, and as Qin Lin looked at the golden font, a strong sense of joy surged onto his face.

  "Fragment of the Human Emperor Chapter from 'The Three Emperors' Cannon and Mallet'"

  Martial arts category: Boxing

  Martial Arts Level: High-Ranked Yellow Grade

  Power: Two Stars

  "The secret is: before landing, be soft; at the moment of landing, be hard. In an instant, change to soft again, and breathe out slightly. Only when you have reached the extreme of softness can you reach the extreme of hardness."

  "It's this one!" Qin Lang suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the martial arts book in his hand, which was not yet covered with dust. His heart was secretly excited.

  "This will be my Qin Lang, the first martial art I cultivate in this life." Qin Lang's fighting spirit was high, and his eyes shot out a momentum that made people's hearts flutter.

  "What a big deal in the county?! Let this battle be my Qin Lang's debut!"

  Qin Lang immediately sat down cross-legged and opened the first page of "Three Emperors' Cannon".
