"Alright, everyone settle down. Today's martial arts class is about to begin."
Su Xiuwu led a group of children up to the second floor from the lobby of the XiuWu Pavilion, with Su Qiluo, who was holding Du ke, among them.
As soon as this little girl reached the second floor, her eyes sparkled with excitement, clearly showing her fondness for this martial arts class.
Du ke felt quite helpless with the way she behaved.
He always felt that it would be difficult to raise this little girl!
The second floor of the XiuWu Pavilion was a large practice room, with the floor covered in soft cloth, and in the center, there was a calligraphy scroll containing the writings of this world.
"In the previous martial arts class, I have already taught you the basic foundation of our Su family's Immortal Martial Strategy. In today's class, we will discuss some things that you must understand."
Su Xiuwu stood in front of the calligraphy scroll, holding his warm stove, watching the children obediently move the stools and sit down in front of him.
When Su Qiluo sat down, Du ke adjusted his posture from her embrace to make himself more comfortable.
Once Du ke had settled into a comfortable position, the rest of the children also sat down obediently, waiting for the upcoming lesson.
"Our Su family's ancestors attained the Dao through martial arts and established this century-old legacy with their extraordinary combat power. As descendants, we must not abandon the rules left by our forefathers."
"Today, I will explain to you in detail what is postnatal (Later Heaven), what is prenatal (Former Heaven), and what it means to attain the Dao through martial arts!"
"As for the so-called postnatal martial practitioners, they are actually laying the foundation for advancing to the prenatal stage. The focus of their cultivation is their physical body, blood, and bones. It's said that accumulating strength silently will lead to explosive combat power in the postnatal stage. The stronger the foundation of your body and energy in the postnatal stage, the more powerful your explosive combat power will be after reaching the prenatal stage!"
While Su Xiuwu was speaking, four servants dressed in practice clothes ascended the stairs from the lobby.
"The four stages of the postnatal stage are skin and flesh, root and bone, internal organs, and True Qi!"
"These four individuals are masters in each of these stages!"
As soon as Su Xiuwu finished speaking, these four individuals stood in front of him.
"The master of the skin and flesh stage is impervious to ordinary blades and swords. Their skin is as tough as armor, and their tendons and muscles are as resilient as steel!"
As Su Xiuwu explained, he drew a long knife from a servant standing nearby.
The postnatal martial practitioner who had reached the mastery of skin and flesh removed their clothes, revealing a strong and muscular body.
Du ke looked at Su Xiuwu holding the knife and a thought came to his mind. As soon as that thought arose, Su Xiuwu swung the knife at the postnatal master of the skin and flesh stage.
After the swing, there was only a white mark left on the martial practitioner's body, no wounds or bloodstains.
Without stopping after the swing, Su Xiuwu changed the attack to a stab, aiming at the heart of the postnatal master of the skin and flesh stage.
Although the blade bent, there was no sign of the martial practitioner's skin and flesh tearing. Only a white mark was left behind.
"This is the strength of a postnatal master at the skin and flesh stage."
Su Xiuwu threw the knife away and said to the group of children in front of him, "Did you all see it clearly?"
"Yes, we saw it clearly."
"Uncle San (Third Uncle), can I give it a try?"
"Uncle San, I also want to try!"
"Uncle San, me too!"
...
A group of children enthusiastically voiced their support, but it sent a chill down Du Ke's spine. The training methods of the Su Family's martial arts were too brutal, directly wielding knives to attack.
However, even though Du Ke found it brutal, he had to admit that this teaching method was the most direct and efficient way for these children to experience the charm of martial arts.
Talk is cheap; true knowledge comes from practice.
Even if this practice might be a bit wasteful.
"We don't need to rush with these things for now. You will have the opportunity to try them one by one later. Let's first talk about the three stages below."
Su Xiuwu waved his hand, and the muscular practitioners immediately stepped back and stood at attention.
"The most prominent aspect of Bone Mastery is strength!"
"Bones are the foundation of strength. Strong bones lead to powerful force!"
"A Bone Master can lift a cauldron with their strength!"
After Su Xiuwu finished speaking, the second martial artist stepped forward and used the other two martial artists as demonstrations. He placed his hands under them and lifted them up effortlessly.
Du Ke looked at this Bone Master who could lift people as if they were feathers, then glanced at his own little girl. He wondered secretly, if a Bone Master could lift a cauldron, how strong would his daughter be?
"The most prominent aspect of Viscera Mastery is the tempering of internal strength. Through the tempering of internal strength, the viscera becomes resilient, and the internal energy will emerge from within the viscera. When the first strand of internal energy emerges, it signifies the mastery of Viscera Mastery."
"And the final stage is True Qi, where the internal energy is abundant and transforms into Genuine Qi. It circulates through the limbs and body, allowing one to easily shatter rocks and move mountains with a mere wave of the hand!"
As Su Xiuwu spoke, the other two martial artists also took a step forward. One had invisible energy swirling around his palm, obviously the internal energy Su Xiuwu mentioned. The other had a faint glow emanating from his hand, which represented Genuine Qi.
At this moment, not only the children of the Su Family were attentively observing everything, but Du Ke also stretched his neck, widened his eyes, and stared intently at it all.
This was a field he had never encountered before. Although he knew that this world possessed extraordinary power systems, seeing everything so easily displayed before him gave him an unreal feeling.
Humans could actually achieve this.
It was something he couldn't imagine, yet it also sparked an indescribable longing in his heart.
If it were him, how far could he go?
As a cat, how strong could he become?
And, could a cat learn martial arts?
If it were possible, how should he go about it?
"After returning to the innate, it signifies departing from the mortal body, cleansing away impurities, and cultivating a pure and ethereal aura."
As Su Xiuwu spoke, he pointed his finger at the ground.
Du Ke only saw a burst of flames erupt from Su Xiuwu's fingertips, directly landing on the cloth laid on the floor, burning a hole through it.
"After reaching the innate stage, one can unleash Profound Power with a mere gesture. This Profound Power can transform into fire for attack, water for healing, wind for agility, and stone for defense."
"However, even though the innate realm has its own profound mysteries, it lacks the agility of those who have achieved Dao."
"In our Su Family, we advocate the path of martial cultivation as the foundation for attaining enlightenment. After becoming a martial practitioner, one must open all the body's meridians, perfect the physical body, and then strengthen the essence, qi, and spirit, merging them into one to transform true qi into magical power."
"Once the first strand of magical power is nurtured, it signifies the entry into the path of cultivation."
"However, the challenges and obstacles within are as difficult as reaching the heavens. For ordinary people, if they cannot advance to the innate realm before the age of thirty, their prospects on the path of cultivation are bleak!"
"And before advancing to the innate realm before the age of thirty, one must also cultivate magical power before the age of thirty-six. Otherwise, their entire life will be nothing more than that of an ordinary person who only knows how to fight and kill!"
At this point, Su Xiuwu ceased speaking and allowed the children some time to contemplate.
As for whether it was too advanced for them to comprehend at this moment?
Absolutely not!
It should be noted that the Su Family had reached its current position and status by relying on power.
To obtain power and maintain their current standing, they must strive!
Strive for resources, strive for status, strive for everything!
That's why martial cultivation must start from a young age.
Apart from resources, the most crucial elements of martial cultivation are one's vision and starting point.
And vision and starting point are precisely the easiest and most difficult things to acquire.
The Su Family's offspring were the ones who could acquire them most easily, while those outside, the ordinary people, would find it impossible to grasp what he was saying without sacrificing everything they had.
Du Ke, who was engrossed in listening, gained a rudimentary understanding of the power system in this world. If he had chosen to run away initially, he definitely wouldn't have acquired this knowledge so effortlessly.
Knowledge could be said to be the cheapest and most expensive thing.
As the saying goes, it's good to lean on a big tree for shade.
Su Qiluo was now his big tree.
With Su Qiluo, he could position himself at the same starting point as the Su Family's offspring.
Coupled with the black cauldron that could refine all things into elixirs, Du Ke was filled with anticipation for his future.
"Uncle San, Uncle San!"
A child raised his hand and asked straightforwardly, "Why don't we cultivate directly? I remember the neighboring Ye Family cultivates directly and can produce magical power directly!"
As soon as the child asked this question, Su Xiuwu spoke, "Entering the path of cultivation through martial arts is a ancestral rule that cannot be changed or altered."
"Furthermore, although they can directly cultivate magical power, when you reach the same realm as them, you will realize that killing them is as easy as slaughtering chickens."
As Su Xiuwu spoke about this, his eyes narrowed slightly.
"What's easy can't be any easier."
"Then, Uncle San, how long will it take for us to cultivate magical power?"
"As members of the Su Family, if your progress in the Mirror is smooth, you can cultivate magical power and successfully enter the path of cultivation before the age of sixteen!"
When Su Xiuwu said this, Du Ke blinked his eyes. Su Xiuwu's words meant that the Su Family already had a complete system and method for cultivating extraordinary power.
Otherwise, he wouldn't say such things.
You should know that Su Xiuwu mentioned earlier that ordinary people who can't cultivate magical power before the age of thirty-six would be wasted for their entire life.
However, these children of the Su Family are able to start cultivating at the age of seven or eight, and in eight or nine years, they can traverse one-third of an average person's lifespan.
It can only be said that the heritage of the Su Family is far greater than what Du ke had imagined!
"Uncle San, can animals cultivate?"
Suddenly, Su Qiluo spoke up, attracting the attention of Su Xiuwu. Su Xiuwu glanced at the white cat in Su Qiluo's arms and smiled, "Is this a question from General Cat?"
"Yes!"
Su Qiluo hugged Du ke tightly, with a hint of uneasiness in her eyes.
"I want General Cat to accompany me forever. If General Cat can also cultivate, then it can accompany me for eternity!"
Upon hearing this, Du ke was overjoyed, realizing that he hadn't doted on you in vain!
So considerate!!

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
