High Martial Arts: Unmatched in Reality - Ascending Beyond the Game

"Let me see what kind of existence this so-called alien god is?"

The words slipped from Yogan's lips as he whispered softly to himself.

Sitting cross-legged amidst the ruins, a faint suction force emanated from his body. The special energy that had eluded him before was now palpable, a presence he could feel clearly and fully.

"Is this alienated energy?" Yogan murmured, his mind working through the sensations.

This new, foreign energy felt strikingly similar to the energy of heaven and earth in the real world, yet there was an unsettling quality to it. It was like a person who was used to eating white rice every day suddenly having to eat steamed buns—an odd discomfort gnawed at him.

But even with that discomfort, Yogan found himself accepting it, as though compelled by an instinct he couldn't deny. He continued to consume the energy.

His body felt like a bottomless pit, and the 360 light spots, opened through his cellular respiration method, activated within him. The surrounding alienated energy swept toward Yogan like a powerful storm.

His tendons, bones, and skin were constantly washed and strengthened by the energy, the sensation both fast and powerful, almost addictive.

Yogan did not try to forcibly refine the alienated energy; instead, he focused on absorbing and storing it within the light spots in his body.

"Not enough!" he gritted his teeth through the pain. He pressed his palm onto the dead mutant bull-man's body. The corpse was full of alienated energy, and wasting it would be a mistake.

As time passed, the mutant bull-man's body began to shrink and decay at a visible speed.

Yogan continued his work, moving to the bodies of the mutant snake-man and the mutant pig-man, absorbing every bit of energy from them.

Unconsciously, Yogan's dry, shriveled body slowly began to return to its original form. His body even began to expand as he continued absorbing the energy.

When all 360 light spots were filled with alienated energy, Yogan felt like an inflated balloon, on the verge of bursting.

He glanced at the panel, thinking for a moment before speaking softly.

"Return!"

No response.

The panel seemed to ignore his command entirely.

Frustration surged through Yogan. His face contorted with anger as he growled coldly, "If you don't return, I'll die!"

The sensation of violent expansion exploded from within his body.

Suddenly, there was a faint buzzing sound.

A soft light flickered on the panel.

The surrounding world began to shimmer and distort.

Yogan clenched his teeth and opened his eyes once more. In front of him was no longer the ruin he had just been in, but a wild forest.

The hot blood from the body of the Qingyou Wolf still flowed freely, and the rich, invigorating breath of heaven and earth surged toward Yogan.

The overwhelming feeling of impending explosion faded almost immediately.

"Sure enough, these two forces complement and counteract each other," Yogan muttered to himself, taking a deep breath. The rich energy of heaven and earth flowed into his body, soothing the side effects of the beastification caused by practicing the alienated combat body.

After about ten minutes, Yogan finally managed to suppress the swelling and restlessness within him.

Looking at himself now, it was as if he had been reborn.

"Using alienated energy to temper the body, and then supplementing it with the energy of heaven and earth to eliminate its side effects—this is something only I can do in this world!" Yogan thought, excitement building within him.

He clenched his fist, and an indescribable force surged into his palm. It was as if any punch he threw now could match the power of his previous attacks when using the first stage of Palm Yin and Yang.

The sensation was frightening!

No wonder Yang Yi had been able to suppress me completely.

Yogan ran and leaped back and forth, his eyes glowing with renewed determination. His physical body had clearly entered a new realm.

He glanced at the panel again, and a new line appeared in the martial arts section:

[Alienated Combat Body (10%)]

The training process for this martial art wasn't particularly difficult—it was easy to get started with one's own talent. The true challenge, however, was how to suppress its side effects.

But now, Yogan had done it.

He looked down at the black dagger pressed against the neck of the Green Wolf. He rolled up his sleeves and gently scratched his arm with the blade.

Nothing.

The sharp dagger, capable of easily cutting through a first-level beast, left no mark on his skin.

Yogan applied more force, but still, there was no reaction.

Finally, he changed his grip and drove the tip of the blade directly downward.

A strange glow enveloped his white forearm.

With a sharp crack, the dagger broke in half.

Yogan's eyes widened in surprise.

"This alienated combat body is way too powerful."

He couldn't help but marvel. "Not only is it resistant to swords and guns, but it also has this protective glow that can shock the enemy!"

He had never heard of a body-building martial art with such domineering abilities, especially not one below the third level.

Eager to test his newfound strength further, Yogan approached a large boulder. With a swift punch, he struck it.

The resulting roar echoed through the forest as the stone, the size of a small house, shattered into pieces.

"The combat power should be no worse than that of a second-level warrior. With the addition of Yin and Yang Thunder, if I encounter a third-level warrior..." Yogan grinned to himself. "I'm not afraid!"

In just two forays into the game world, his strength had surged from that of a high-level warrior to a second-level warrior. The rate of improvement was astonishing.

However, the two explorations had also been life-threatening, with opportunities and dangers coexisting at every turn.

After dragging the body of the Green Ghost Wolf to another wild forest and marking it, Yogan followed the moonlight and slowly made his way back to the resting place where everyone was waiting.
