Chapter 2339 Chapter 2341【Eighteen Arhat Vajra Body Protector】


    Xu Ren was shocked when he saw this.


    Xiang Nan can actually control the invisible sword energy to kill people, which is simply a miraculous skill.


    ??Compared with the Shaolin stunts he has practiced, I don’t know how much better he is.


    ??If he had known that Xiang Nan''s martial arts was so high, he would not have dared to fight with others.


    "Since you have such unique skills, why do you need to learn Shaolin''s unique skills?" Xu Ren was puzzled.


    “Live until you are old and learn until you are old. Every martial art has its own uniqueness, and there is no harm in learning more.” Xiang Nan explained.


    Xu Ren nodded, "If I teach you Shaolin secrets, will you really be willing to heal my injuries?"


    "I have no grievances with you in the past, and we have no grievances in the recent days. Why do I have to hurt you." Xiang Nan smiled, "Besides, if I hadn''t rescued you, you would still be in a high fever and coma."


    "Okay, then it''s settled." Xu Ren thought for a while and said, "I know a total of three Shaolin stunts. The Nine Heavens and Nine Earths Chain Shovel Technique, the Eighteen Arhat Vajra Body Protection, and the Shanyong Fist."


    “So few?” Xiang Nan was quite disappointed when he heard this.


    ??He originally thought that Xu Ren knew at least four or five Shaolin stunts, but he didn''t expect that he only knew three, which was really not much.


    “Young?!” Xu Ren was even more helpless.


    ?Shaolin in the Western Regions is now weak, and there are only a few people who can practice a unique skill. He is the first person in a century to be able to master three unique skills.


    Unexpectedly, Xiang Nan actually thought that he had not practiced enough, which really left him speechless.


    “Okay, quite a lot, just tell me.” Xiang Nan then asked.


    Xu Ren then taught Xiang Nan the Nine Heavens and Nine Earths chain shoveling technique, the Eighteen Arhat Vajra body protection, and the good and brave fists.


    Although his right arm is disabled, he cannot demonstrate the moves. But as long as he tells the gist of each move, Xiang Nan can evolve the moves accordingly. Some moves are even better than those of Shaolin in the Western Regions.


    ?This ability makes even Xu Ren have to admire him.


    ??He is already a rare elite talent, known as the number one Shaolin master in the Western Regions for a century, but Xiang Nan is even more of a talent among talents.


    ??He spent fifteen years learning the Nine Heavens and Nine Earths chain shovel technique and the good and brave fists before he finally reached the state of Dacheng. However, it only took Xiang Nan half a day to master these two skills.


    ??It’s really hard to compare and don’t know, I’m shocked when I compare.


    …


    After Xiang Nan learned the three special skills, he took out the black jade intermittent paste and applied it on Xu Ren''s right arm. "After a week, it will gradually heal. Within three months, it will be back to the original state."


    ?Xunren hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Thank you."


    Xiang Nan then went home and practiced the Eighteen Arhat Vajra body protection.


    Eighteen Arhat Vajra body protection is actually a hard skill for outsiders.


    ?The so-called external hard kung fu is to practice martial arts from the outside in. For example, in "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng", Jun Bao and Tian Bao practiced Iron Head Kung Fu, Pot Lifting Kung Fu, Iron Sand Palm, etc.


    ??If this kind of external hard skills are mastered, they will be no less powerful than the internal skills.


    ?For example, in "The Legend of Heaven and Sword of the Dragon", Ah Er and Ah San of the Vajra Sect are skilled in outsiders'' kung fu, but they are no match for the four great Shaolin monks.


    However, to practice this kind of hard work, in addition to lifting stone locks, lifting barbells, and grabbing iron balls, you also need to use sticks, swords, whips, maces and other blunt objects to continuously hit the body, supplemented by various drugs to enhance physical strength. Exercise the ability to resist blows.


    The level of hard work is much higher than that of meditating and practicing internal martial arts.


    ?Especially the Eighteen Arhat Vajra Body Protector, as one of Shaolin''s unique skills, the difficulty of practicing it is even hellish. But once practiced, it is extremely powerful.


    ?Otherwise, with Xu Ren’s strength, if he hadn’t mastered this hard skill, and forced himself to take a seven-injury punch from Xiang Nan, he would probably have exploded not just the bones, but the person as well.


    …


    Xiang Nan immediately started to practice the Eighteen Arhat Vajra Body Protector.


    Cultivation of this external skill requires a combination of hot and cold.


    At the beginning, you only need to soak in hot water and cold water to practice the first level; then you need to try immersing in boiling water above 100 degrees and freezing ice water to practice the second level. After that, the temperature gets higher and higher, and by the ninth level, you have to be burned by fires of thousands of degrees, and you have to plunge into a lake that freezes all year round. Only in this way can the body be tempered into steel and become invulnerable.


    ??However, it is too dangerous to practice to this point.


    ?Hongin has only been trained to the seventh level so far. It can defend against blunt weapons such as sticks and maces, but it cannot defend against sharp weapons such as swords and guns.


    The thing Xiang Nan is not afraid of the most is danger.


    No matter how serious the injury is, as long as he does not die immediately, he has the ability to heal himself.


    For others, the practice of the seventh to ninth levels of the Eighteen Arhat Vajra Body Protection is too difficult and almost impossible to achieve.


    But for Xiang Nan, it is a good try.


    Therefore, he skipped level one to level six and started practicing directly from level seven to challenge the higher difficulty level.


    To practice the seventh level of Vajra Body Protection, you must first undergo high-temperature roasting, and then undergo immersion in ice water.


    Fortunately it is winter now and the Xiliang River has frozen, so it is a good time to practice.


    Xiang Nan immediately asked people to build a hut by the Xiliang River.


    ?Eight charcoal pots were placed inside so that he could lie in the middle and receive the high temperature.


    …


    In winter, it is very pleasant to have a fire pit to cook.


    But if there are eight braziers burning at the same time, the taste will be very unpleasant.


    Xiang Nan feels very uncomfortable now.


    ?His hair has been burnt, and a strange smell can be smelled in the air.


    ?His skin, due to severe loss of moisture, has been cracked and cracked, forming countless small cracks, which are as painful as needle pricks.


    ?These high-temperature gases entered his body with each breath, making his internal organs feel unbearably hot, and he felt like everything was burning inside.


    ?But even so, Xiang Nan still didn''t give up.


    He stripped himself completely naked and assumed weird yoga poses while enduring the high temperature.


    Eighteen Arhat Vajra body protection is originally a yoga ascetic technique originating from India. By tempering your body and training your will, you can develop your own potential and achieve the supreme state.


    ?After assuming this posture, Xiang Nan felt that more heat entered his body, making his internal organs feel like they were being fried and roasted.


    ?He endured it until a moment later, Xiang Nan suddenly jumped up, broke through the window, and jumped into the frozen Xiliang River.


    As soon as Xiang Nan entered the water, the icy water of more than ten degrees below zero immediately surrounded Xiang Nan.


    The rapid changes from hot to cold made Xiang Nan feel dizzy.


    The skin that had been burned by the fire and covered with cracks was now stimulated by the ice water, and it was as painful as being cut into pieces by a thousand knives.


    Xiang Nan, however, ignored the pain, let alone rest, and immediately assumed another weird yoga posture, causing himself to sink to the bottom of the river.


    ?The ice water at minus ten degrees Celsius not only gradually froze his limbs and brain, but also made it very difficult to breathe. But Xiang Nan still maintained a yoga posture and stayed under the water, refusing to come out.


    As time passed, Xiang Nan felt more and more suffocated.


    ?His face is getting redder and redder, his chest is getting tighter and tighter, his lips are getting more and more purple, and stars are even starting to appear in front of his eyes. The hypoxia reaction has become very obvious.


    If you continue practicing, I''m afraid someone will die.


    Just when Xiang Nan stopped breathing, ran out of oxygen, and was on the verge of death, a burst of inner breath suddenly emerged and then flowed freely through the body.


    Everywhere he went, the rigid limbs regained their dexterity, and the rigid mind regained clarity. The original chest tightness and shortness of breath were gone now.
