Immortal Skills - Chapter 219
219 A Deceptive Technique (2)
“After that day, everyone demanded refunds from his grandfather. The martial arts school has also been completely destroyed.”
Jiang Ming’s gaze was strange. This martial arts technique was indeed a bit outrageous.
Lu Qingfeng’s face was gloomy.
“After that, my grandfather failed to live up to expectations. He practiced for more than ten years. However, he couldn’t even become a martial artist. He could only set up a stall to sell food.” Lu Xiaoyu sighed and then patted her chest. “It seems that the hope of the Lu family’s revival rests on my shoulders.”
!!
Lu Qingfeng could not help but raise his arm to smack her. However, he suppressed the impulse to do so. He continued to explain to Jiang Ming, “It’s because of the strange nature of this martial arts technique that I don’t dare to teach it to Xiaoyu. However, it is a martial arts technique that can help first-class martial artists. If you encounter any bottlenecks, you can refer to this technique. Maybe you will have some insights. Just don’t practice it just in case something happens!” Lu Qingfeng warned him again. His eyes were conflicted. He seemed a little embarrassed to give this to Jiang Ming as a gift.
Jiang Ming nodded and suddenly thought of something. He asked curiously, “Then, did your grandfather become a second-class martial artist by cultivating this technique?”
“Yes, and it’s extremely fast!” Lu Qingfeng nodded and said, “However, after he became a second-class martial artist, his cultivation stopped completely. He can’t make any more progress for the rest of his life. I’ve heard that there were many situations like this that happened to the people who cultivated this technique in the previous generations of the Lu family. Some of them advanced by leaps and bounds and became first-class martial artists. Some of them were like the students of the Lu family. Not long after they became martial artists, their meridians ruptured, and they could no longer practice martial arts.”
Jiang Ming looked at the wooden box on the table and could not help but feel fascinated.

Late at night, Jiang Ming sat in his room and read a copy of the martial arts technique. After all, Jiang Ming naturally could not take the original text out of the box.
“So, this is the Martial Tribulation Scripture!”
Jiang Ming browsed through the technique. At first, it looked normal. However, the more he read, the more shocked he became.
“The person who created this technique must have reached a realm far above the Foundation Establishment Realm of martial arts!”
Jiang Ming came to this conclusion after reading it once. At the same time, he understood why this martial arts technique started to damage people’s cultivation.
“This isn’t a single technique. It’s two different techniques that have been combined together by someone! The first technique that helps the user become an unranked martial artist is only a decent martial arts technique. However, after that, it becomes a f*cking forbidden technique!” Jiang Ming was extremely shocked.
According to the concept of this martial arts method, every breakthrough on the path of martial arts was like a tribulation teetering between life and death. It was a transformation of the entire body. Only by surviving the tribulation could one enter a higher realm.
“The first tribulation the user faces is to break through from being an unranked martial artist to a third-class martial artist! That’s where most of the users of this technique die”
Regular people would not be able to understand this. They would only assume this martial arts technique was killing them. However, in Jiang Ming’s eyes, the internal training breathing technique and the external training fist technique were akin to forbidden techniques that endangered one’s life!
“This martial arts technique kills those who don’t succeed!”
If he could find a way to pass the tribulation, his martial arts cultivation would advance by leaps and bounds!
However, if he could not find a way to pass, his meridians would be broken, and his body would be destroyed.
“All the people who practiced this technique before were all muddleheaded. That was why hardly anyone succeeded!”
According to Lu Qingfeng, there were only a few people from the Lu family who could break through and become second-class martial artists. Even rarer were the ones who became first-class martial artists.
Jiang Ming was deep in thought. “In addition to Lu Xiaoyu’s situation, is there something special about the Lu family’s bloodline?”
However, before he figured out what was going on, Jiang Ming did not dare let Lu Xiaoyu try to practice this technique! What if she really crippled herself? Not everyone was immortal like him.
“However, I can try to practice it!”
Jiang Ming was deep in thought. He had already reached the Foundation Establishment Realm of martial arts, and it would be impossible to improve his cultivation by practicing this technique. However, he could still test the effects of this technique with his own body.
“The Martial Tribulation Scripture is obviously incomplete. There should be a follow-up martial arts technique. Although this martial arts technique is brutal, its innovativeness is astounding. If I can find the follow-up martial arts technique, I might be able to find something that can help me break through to the next realm! Martial arts are very popular in Clearwater City, and I’ve discovered a forbidden technique here. Was there really a martial saint here in the past?”
Jiang Ming could not help but think of the legends that Lu Qingfeng told him about when he first came here. At that time, he did not care. However, things were different now.
“No matter what, let’s study the Martial Tribulation Scripture first. If I have time, I can also explore the martial arts techniques of the other families in Clearwater City.”

The next morning, Jiang Ming left Clearwater City and went to a forest outside the city to start practicing the Martial Tribulation Scripture.
