High Martial Arts: Enlightenment after Practices

Chapter 712: Chapter 694: Self-Created Spear Technique, 1st Form “Chaos

But by drawing analogies, exposing himself to more knowledge would always provide him with inspiration.

He needed to find a way to integrate the Order Rules into his spear techniques. This was no easy feat. The Order Rules were too abstract; they were not tangible like flames, nor perceptible like gravity. As something existing on the conceptual level of rules, they were an invisible and intangible presence. Integrating them into specific spear movements required finding a method to combine abstract rules with concrete actions.

He continued to flip through those martial arts materials, but his mind was occupied with other matters. The Profound Nether Celestial Spear. He had cultivated this martial art to a rather proficient level. Its core lay in integrating the Gravity Rules into his spear techniques. By driving the spear momentum, it altered local gravity to restrict an enemy’s movements.

He recalled the feeling of cultivating this spear technique. Back then, he was only an Innate martial artist. His understanding of rules was still shallow, but the process of integrating rules into his spear techniques had left a deep impression on him. Gravity was one kind of rule, and order was another. Since gravity could be integrated into a spear technique, why couldn’t order? He followed this train of thought.

The creator of the Profound Nether Celestial Spear was a senior Grandmaster who specialized in gravity. That senior had transformed his understanding of gravity into specific spear techniques, allowing future generations to gradually comprehend the Gravity Rules by cultivating these techniques. This was an outside-in path. First practice the techniques, then comprehend the rules.

But Xu Wuyi didn’t need to take this path now. He had already mastered the Order Rules. What he needed to do was the exact opposite: take an inside-out approach to integrate the rules into the techniques. These were two different directions, but the underlying principles were the same. The rules were the core, and the techniques were the carrier. As long as he found a suitable carrier, the rules could be unleashed through the techniques.

He continued flipping through the martial arts materials, but he already had a clear direction in mind.

Over the next few days, Xu Wuyi barely left his house. Every morning, he would wake up, practice a set of the Basic Body Refining Technique on the balcony, and then return to his room to continue studying those martial arts materials. He would come out for lunch, chat briefly with his parents, and resume his work in the afternoon. After dinner, he would study for a while longer before resting early. His days passed simply and regularly.

Sometimes, Mrs. Xu would knock and enter, bringing him a glass of water or some fruit. Seeing her son stare blankly at the light screen all day, her heart ached a little, but she didn’t ask too many questions. She knew he was doing something important, and all she could do was avoid disturbing him.

Father Xu spoke even less. Apart from watching the news, he spent his days going out for walks. Occasionally, he would stand at the door to Xu Wuyi’s room, take a glance inside, nod to himself, and then go back to his own business.

Two days passed like this.

That afternoon, Xu Wuyi sat at his desk as usual, browsing through the martial arts materials. Suddenly, he stopped flipping pages and stared at an entry on the light screen, deep in thought. It was an analytical article about the Profound Nether Celestial Spear, written by a researcher from the Federation Research Institute. The article provided a detailed analysis of the creative thought process behind the Profound Nether Celestial Spear and how its creator, the senior Grandmaster, had integrated the Gravity Rules into his spear techniques. At the end of the article, a specific passage read:

“The core of integrating the Gravity Rules lies in ‘borrowing.’ It is not about forcibly altering gravity, but rather borrowing the naturally existing gravity field between heaven and earth. Through the guidance of spear momentum, it is made to function according to the martial artist’s will. This approach also holds reference value for the integration of other rules.”

As Xu Wuyi read this passage, a flash of inspiration suddenly illuminated his mind. Borrowing. Not forcibly altering, but borrowing. What about the Order Rules? Could they also be borrowed?

Order inherently existed between heaven and earth; the operation of all things followed established rules. His Flame of Order could burn through this order, plunging everything into chaos. This was destruction. But what about after the destruction? Those burned Order Fragments scattered throughout space would become ownerless entities. They could be recombined and reestablished to form a new order. This was creation.

Destruction was much easier than creation. What he had been using all along was purely destruction. The Flame of Order burned order, throwing his enemies into chaos and stripping the surrounding environment of its natural laws. What if he could integrate this destructive power into his spear techniques?

With a single spear thrust, the order within the enemy would be instantly destroyed wherever the spear tip reached. The circulation of qi and blood would lose its rhythm, the flow of consciousness would descend into chaos, and perceptual abilities would plummet drastically. How much combat power could an enemy retain in such a state? The more Xu Wuyi thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.

He stood up and went to the underground training room.

He closed his eyes, his mind shifting slightly. In his sea of consciousness, that pale blue Heart of Order trembled gently. An invisible power radiated from his body, spreading out in all directions. That was the Power of Order. He reached out and loosely clenched his fist. That power converged in his palm, condensing into a ball, but it quickly dispersed. It was still too scattered. He needed a way to make this power more concentrated, more cohesive.

A spear. He remembered his Liaoyuan Long Spear, which was currently leaning against the corner of the wall. With the long spear in hand, that familiar feeling returned. Ever since his days at Star Martial University, he had always used a spear. The Shocking God Spear, the Profound Nether Celestial Spear—he had practiced these martial arts countless times. Every stance and every technique was carved into his bones.

He closed his eyes, recalling his previous train of thought. With a single spear thrust, the Power of Order would attach to the spear tip. The moment it pierced the enemy, it would destroy the order within them. How could he achieve this?
