That was a good fight. I initially thought that after you advanced to the Golden Core Stage, your swordsmanship fundamentals would not keep up with your current realm and intended to remind you. It seems I was overthinking.

Its all thanks to Eldest Senior Sisters excellent teaching.

Lu Yang dared not slacken in his fundamental training. Recalling when he first started cultivating, Eldest Senior Sister had him practice his basics relentlessly, playing with tofu during the day and soaking in hot baths at night. If not for the ample supply of elixirs, whether he could have survived was uncertain.

If Eldest Senior Sister found his basics lacking and put him through that again Lu Yang shivered at the thought.

He couldnt go through that again!

Little Peach, comprehending the yin-yang transformation from the Twin Stem Lotus and integrating it with your illusions is a good thing, but dont forget you also have the Feathered Immortal Physique. Dont neglect its development.

Yes, Eldest Senior Sister!

Alright, you two can review this battle after you return. For now, lets watch Little Meng and Little Barbarians fight.

These two have been fighting for this long? Peach Blossom Leaf was surprised. She and Lu Yang had fought long enough, yet Meng Jingzhou and Barbarian Bone were still at it.

Both of them are body cultivators, making it hard to determine a winner, Lu Yang was not surprised. Meng Jingzhous Golden Core was highly effective against demons and ghosts but not as much against Barbarian Bone, who was also a body cultivator.

Barbarian Bone wielded a beast leg bone, a trophy from the forest taken from a Nascent Soul Stage beast he and Peach Blossom Leaf had jointly defeated.

Barbarian Bone swung the beast leg bone, howling like a wild man, his eyes filled with madness and savagery.

Lu Yang was puzzled. He had never seen Barbarian Bone in this state, and this manner didnt seem to match Barbarian Bones usual demeanor.

Barbarian Bone fought with brute strength but had never been this frenzied, like hunting beasts in the wild.

Meng Jingzhou was startled by Barbarian Bones appearance, losing the initiative and being suppressed from the start, spending most of his energy on defense and rarely attacking.

Despite Barbarian Bones wild fighting style, a closer look revealed it to be a refined combat method, both offensive and defensive, honed through countless tests and improvements.

Hmm, this fighting style looks familiar, just like the barbarians I encountered. They wield stones and bones, swarming their enemies and smashing their brains out! Everlasting Fairy, seeing something familiar, was quite excited.

Lu Yang was curious, Is this the ancient barbarian fighting style? But I heard that the ancient barbarian combat techniques have been lost.

The barbarian lineage had severe discontinuities, with few records of ancient events.

Did you forget? Barbarian Bones bloodline is blessed by me. Just as beasts can pass on their innate abilities through their bloodline, so can I!

When beasts reach a certain realm, the hidden power in their bloodline unlocks, allowing them to learn their innate abilities.

The Taotie clans Devour and the nine-tailed fox clans Charm are examples.

The purer the bloodline, the earlier the inheritance power is unlocked.

By the way, what kind of Golden Core did Barbarian Bone form? Lu Yang turned to Peach Blossom Leaf, thinking there was no need to keep it a secret now.

It should be a completely new type of Golden Core, like mine. I think its called the Ancestral Spirit Golden Core, allowing him to summon the spirits of his ancestors to possess him and aid in battle.

Thats amazing! Lu Yang was astonished, Does this mean the souls of the ancient barbarians still exist?

Yun Zhi shook her head slowly, Its not as you think. Souls that last three hundred thousand years without dissipating are only within the realm of immortals.

Then whats going on with Barbarian Bone?

Although Barbarian Bones ancestors souls dissipated and returned to heaven and earth, they had a bloodline connection with Barbarian Bone. Sensing the existence of their descendant, the ancestors reassembled parts of their lost souls from heaven and earth, channeling them through the ancient barbarian bloodline into Barbarian Bones body. However, this possession is more instinctive and lacks true consciousness.

Lu Yang thought of Everlasting Fairy. This was somewhat similar to Everlasting Fairys method, but not nearly as miraculous.

So Meng Jingzhous opponent isnt just Barbarian Bone, but an entire ancient barbarian tribe? Lu Yang realized Meng Jingzhou was in for a tough fight.

The ancient barbarians were a race that had fought alongside Everlasting Fairy, engaging in battles as often as eating. Their combat experience was incredibly rich, making Meng Jingzhou no match.

On the arena, Meng Jingzhou was being steadily pushed back. Neither Arhat Fist nor Heaven Shaking Six Forms were effective.

Barbarian Bones eyes were vacant, completely taken over by the ancestors of the ancient barbarians, fighting purely on instinct.

In terms of physical strength, Meng Jingzhou was slightly stronger than Barbarian Bone, but Barbarian Bones vast combat experience made up for it.

The ancestors of the ancient barbarians had hundreds of thousands of years of combined combat experience, a formidable challenge for Meng Jingzhou.

Although Barbarian Bone had the upper hand, pressing Meng Jingzhou hard, he couldnt defeat him quickly.

Doesnt Meng Jingzhou look a bit off?

Meng Jingzhou felt himself entering a strange state. Inside his body, his two single Golden Cores sensed Barbarian Bones Golden Core, spinning uncontrollably like two small suns, warming his body and making his acupoints open, each one absorbing spiritual energy.

As the two Golden Cores spun, Meng Jingzhous mind went blank, with past experiences flashing through his mind.

Those memories condensed to an extreme before suddenly exploding in his mind with a thunderous roar.

Meng Jingzhous head shook, and he found the world clearer than ever before.

Did I just have an enlightenment and comprehend a new set of fist techniques?

Meng Jingzhou clenched his fists, incredulous.

He had heard that enlightenment was rare and often unattainable for most cultivators in their lifetime. Yet, he had achieved it at the Golden Core Stage?

And from the recent experience, it seemed the two single Golden Cores were helping him reach this enlightenment?

I knew my single Golden Cores were unbeatable!

Meng Jingzhou mentally rehearsed the newly comprehended fist technique, his expression becoming odd.

This fist technique seems

Hold on! Meng Jingzhou extended his hand, stopping Barbarian Bones attack.

I just comprehended a new fist technique. If your ancestors insist on fighting, dont blame me for using it!

Barbarian Bone paused, seemingly curious about what Meng Jingzhou would say next.

The fist technique I comprehended involves the power of karma, curses, and carries the grievances of my single lineage!

Anyone hit by my fist will be cursed to remain single like me for life. This is a karmic curse!

I have named it the Single Curse Fist!

This should be the innate fist technique of the Twin Single Golden Cores!

If youre willing to let Barbarian Bone get hit by this fist, go ahead and keep attacking me!

The ancestors of the ancient barbarians hurriedly used Barbarian Bones body to jump off the arena and concede defeat.

Their instincts told them that Meng Jingzhou was telling the truth!
