Hearing this, Su Tu looked at Elder Zhou with eyes full of admiration. He truly deserved to be his teacher, truly extraordinary!

Elder Zhou nodded and said, "My martial bone is special, it can only be revealed in battle."

"There are many types of martial bones in the world, and the augmentation and enhancement of each type differs. Later, I'll give you a bone album that records most of the martial bones,

study it carefully, to avoid suffering losses when fighting with some special bone appearances."

Elder Zhou instructed solemnly.

Su Tu carefully noted all of this, increasingly marveling at the wonders of bone appearances, how different Xiong Laile's Hundred Victories Bone was from Brother Hu's Tiger Slaughter.

The Hundred Victories Bone gains enhancement with each victory; physical body strength and True Qi strength will increase, and beyond that, there are no other anomalies.

However, Brother Hu's Tiger Slaughter is covered with a bloody hand, under slaughter it is enhanced by a tiger shape, augmenting tiger-shaped killing power.

And from Elder Zhou's indication, the kind of bone appearances are numerous, with different augmentations not easily explained in a few words, which also piqued Su Tu's interest.

"Xiao Tu, do you know why bone appearances are determined?"

Hearing this, Su Tu was stunned for a moment. He originally thought that martial bones were set at birth, after all, people like Xiong Laile had innate martial bones, but since Elder Zhou asked, it certainly couldn't be that simple.

Not wanting to make reckless statements, Su Tu shook his head, indicating he did not know.

"Currently, there are two theories in the Federation Martial Arts Dao regarding martial bones that are most recognized. The first theory is that a person's martial bone is destined at birth, waiting for the realm to be reached to draw it out with Qi."

"This theory is called the innate theory, a specific example is those born with martial bones.

The other theory says that the bone appearance is engraved by Qi, a manifestation of a person's essence, qi, spirit, and intent. The more inclined the heart thoughts, the more likely Qi is influenced, and the different bone appearance that emerges, this is the engraving theory."

Elder Zhou looked at Su Tu and said.

"Your talent astounds, traversing the way smoothly without hindrance, also blessed by the 'Emperor' character, your talent is supreme, but have you ever thought of one thing."

"Why do you practice martial arts, and why do you throw punches!"

"If there's no intent of a punch in the heart, then learning martial arts lacks foundation; if you open a mortal bone with no enhancement, can you endure it."

A so-called mortal bone is a bone appearance without any enhancement, the most ordinary and commonplace. Opening a mortal bone means being one realm short.

These words from Elder Zhou are not without basis; in history, there have been those invincible in the First Realm with overwhelming potential, their journey too smooth, debuted as invincible in the same realm, like Su Tu.

But precisely because of this, that person's punches lacked intent, and their martial arts had only stance without substance.

Finally, in the eyes of all expectant people, his Second Realm only opened a mortal bone, causing an uproar among the world, and that gifted individual faded from public view.

And it's this person who became the classic example of engraving theory.

Why throw punches?

Upon hearing this question, Su Tu froze; indeed, he had never thought about why he threw punches, or what his punches meant.

Li Hu, standing by, couldn't help but frown slightly hearing this; he had a close relationship with Su Tu, convinced that his junior brother would surely open a top-tier bone appearance.

In martial arts today, the theory of innate far surpasses engraving theory, his master's words now, aside from unsettling his junior brother's heart, had no benefit.

Such behavior shouldn't be something the master could do, right??

"Could it be, when Master went to the Star River, he was..." Li Hu slightly clenched his fist, blood surging, some suspicion in his heart.

But....

Zhou Wuliang just glanced over coldly, and instantly, Li Hu recalled his fear of being dominated by his master.

This master, incredible indeed!!!

At this moment, Su Tu fell into contemplation, why throw punches, why practice martial arts?

He had never pondered this question, perhaps at the very beginning, he simply wanted to know the true nature of this world, to touch the extraordinary and mysterious he was most interested in.

Yet along this path, he had seen so much, the high and mighty New Star Martial Artists, the three great taboos sealing the Ancestor Star, the Three Deceits Cult taking human suffering as its foundation.

Could it be... he should punch for injustice??

As soon as this thought arose, it didn't stop.

"Martial path fortune once blessed me, could it be I am destined to punch for the Ancestor Star!"

"For injustice, for the weak??"

These thoughts, grand and upright, reverberated continuously in Su Tu's heart, like some kind of glorious burden, yet also like an endless shackle.

Su Tu at this moment frowned tightly, his aura fluctuating all over his body, True Qi surging, with the power of Heart and Spirit at this moment constantly spreading outward.

Zhou Wuliang and Li Hu noticed the change in Su Tu, both showing a trace of shock in their eyes.

"Enlightened.."

Just as Li Hu was about to speak, he was instantly silenced by Zhou Wuliang's Heart and Spirit.

"Don't disturb him!"

Zhou Wuliang transmitted his thoughts.

Li Hu immediately nodded repeatedly, with an incredulous tone in his thoughts, transmitting, "Master, is junior brother...enlightened to his true self?"

Even though Zhou Wuliang tried his best to remain calm, his fingers' continuous movement up and down already revealed the storm in his heart.

"Body and mind both rise, intent entering the true self, yes...your junior brother...damn it, he has enlightened to his true self!"

Zhou Wuliang eventually couldn't hold it in and included a curse in his transmitted thoughts.

Although he had already been shocked by this disciple many times, Zhou Wuliang still couldn't help but sigh, does the world really have such a heaven's chosen?

"Could there truly be the reincarnation of a Martial God?"

It can only be said that Baru's gold content is still increasing!!

Enlightening to the true self is an extremely precious and rare state. Through ancient and modern times, those who can enlighten the true self are extremely few. In this state, a martial artist will wash away the mist of the heart, see the true self, and understand their original mind.

The heart and spirit will not only experience transformation and elevation, but more importantly, one's comprehension and martial wisdom will also undergo transformation.

How many martial artists have never had even one opportunity to enlighten to their true self in their lifetime.

But this disciple of his, just after hearing a few words, directly enlightened to the true self.

This is no longer heaven-defying comprehension, not just being favored by martial path fortune.

This martial path fortune is like Su Tu's son, frantically honoring his father!!

Of course, such preposterous gibberish, Zhou Wuliang would only think in his heart.

"Throw punches for all beings?"

"For injustice?" At this moment Su Tu was mired in an indescribable state, countless grand and upright thoughts occupying his heart and spirit.

It seemed that his martial practice, his punches were for all the righteousness and justice of this world...

However, just as these thoughts grew heavier...

"For... for nothing!!!"

He suddenly murmured, his eyes radiating an intense shade of golden-red.

Rustle!!!

Upon his Heart and Spirit, it seemed as if infinite golden flames soared up, dispersing all majesty and brightness.

"For every punch I seek clarity in my heart, I practice Martial Arts Dao just to tread upon mountain peaks!"

"All the paths and principles in the world are but beneath my fists. If I wish, I can unleash punches for all injustices! If I do not wish, what does the annihilation of the universe matter to me!"

Since I've learned martial arts, I shall live unrestrained, be it majestic light or cold darkness—they should not bind me. Having learned martial arts, I must walk the highest realm, seeking only the joy of my heart. I shall exist... as myself!!

As this thought emerged.

Su Tu's consciousness cleared up once again, his eyes brimming with unprecedented brilliance.

Both body and mind underwent a transformation.

"Thank you for the guidance, Master!"

Feeling his transformation, Su Tu clasped his fist in salute.

Zhou Wuliang smiled faintly, suppressing the shock in his heart, saying, "Seems you've realized why you throw punches!"

"When you open the Martial Bone in the future, don't forget this thought."

Upon hearing Zhou Wuliang's words, Su Tu couldn't help but give a bitter smile, sensing something, he began to speak.

"I won't wait for the future."

"What?" This sentence left both Li Hu and Zhou Wuliang stunned.

Then, the next moment, their expressions changed, realizing Su Tu's meaning.

Only to see Su Tu's aura explosively expanding, True Qi filling his body, constantly refining with his skeleton.

He has already begun breaking through the realm!!

Zhou Wuliang and Li Hu were completely numbed by the shock.

Opening Martial Bone is a crucial step for Martial Artists, normally requiring extensive preparation and varied attempts.

Especially for those who have unlocked their body's potential, none do so without utmost caution and care.

Who does this like Su Tu, casually speaking, suddenly breaking through!

Rumble!!

Boom!!!

At this moment, Su Tu knew nothing of the external world. He only saw his True Qi continuously surging over his bones, along with mysterious symbols being engraved onto his arm bone.

"So this is my Martial Bone?"

Gazing upon the constantly emerging Martial Bone, Su Tu sighed, waves of comprehension constantly surfacing.

Yet then, anomalies arose; beyond True Qi, within the Five Mansions, the Immortal Power Seed also began to sway and destabilize, imprinting an extremely ancient, venerable script upon Su Tu's chest bone...

Zhou Wuliang and Li Hu carefully protected Su Tu's Dao.

However, unbeknownst to them, outside the Star River, Daoist Master Wen Shi suddenly halted his steps, his usually serene face showing a moment of panic.

"Ga ga ga ga~ you're scared, you felt something, you're scared, you're afraid!" that noisy bird kept jumping around.

Wen Shi wasn't in the mood to joke with him.

He glanced towards Ancestor Star, continuously forming hand seals, sensing an unpredictable danger emerging there.

Even just a slight indication, yet it has made his heart race.

"Life-threatening danger!!!"

He foresaw future life-threatening danger due to this subtle sign!!

For a moment, he focused again, intending to self-dialogue—a secret technique he possessed allowing partial conversations with the future.

He had employed this technique before, and now he intended to repeat the attempt to locate that thin causal thread.

However... this time, he received no future conversation.

He only heard a voice...

"Humph! An ant dares to spy on my disciple?"

The voice was indifferent yet carried an unimaginable vast power; merely its emergence directly shocked Wen Shi's heart and spirit, nearly eradicating it.

It was a voice from countless eras beyond, neither holding thought nor hiding law, simply an ordinary sentence.

Nonetheless, it left Wen Shi bathed in blood!!

Bang bang bang!!

His surroundings began to shatter, his whole being resembling a porcelain doll, heart and spirit in extreme upheaval, the esteemed Daoist Master nearly falling under such a simple utterance!

Despite sustaining such severe injuries, Wen Shi dared not show the slightest disrespect, bowing gracefully with a respectful voice: "I apologize for the supreme one's arrival, Wen Shi recognizes my error!"

No further sound arose, yet Wen Shi still dared not straighten, with eyes full of fear.

In front of the voice's owner, he was but a tiny ant beneath the tide.

"Ancestor Star has a great threat, temporarily untouchable!!" At this moment, Wen Shi's heart fell silent....

.....

Inside the inner chamber, Su Tu slowly opened his eyes, feeling his transformation, his Qi no longer confined to his acupoints but flowing smoothly throughout his body, continually circulating, gaining further control over the Qi.

"Sorry, Master, Brother Tiger, I unintentionally broke through, quite unexpected."

Su Tu apologized with a smile towards the Master and Brother Tiger.

It can only be said, these two since Su Tu entered the Martial Arts Dao, have become accustomed to his unexpectedness.

"How do you feel?"

"What's the Bone Appearance!!!" The two spoke simultaneously, yet with different questions, Zhou Wuliang being more reserved, while Li Hu was entirely unabashed in his curiosity.

No choice, his curiosity piqued by this little junior brother's Bone Appearance.

Su Tu gave a faint smile.

With a single hand raised, dazzling golden light flashed out, bursting with unparalleled majesty, as if all life should pay homage, beneath the heavens, all must bow!

"Emperor Bone!"

Li Hu couldn't help but exclaim, Zhou Wuliang's face remained unchanged, yet his hand involuntarily exerted force, causing the handle of the Master's Chair, having accompanied him for countless years... to crumble under his grip.
