"You put my master and the other disciples in danger. They're all living in the secret villa you arranged for them. Someone has to be responsible for all of this. "
Garon had mixed feelings. After all, Ge Reese had been with him for so long. The feeling of killing a familiar person was completely different from killing a stranger.
His empty hand searched Ge Reese's body for a while. He found a bunch of keys, a black leather wallet, a silver handgun, and some documents. She was such a beautiful and capable woman, but he had no choice but to kill her.
Fortunately, he was not a perverted aristocrat. Otherwise, he could have raped Ge Reese before killing her. Or he could have kept her as a beautiful slave.
He slowly put down the body and stuffed it into the trash can on the side. He took out a lighter from his trouser pocket, lit it, and threw it into a big bag of shredded paper in the trash can.
The fire lit up and slowly grew bigger. White smoke gradually floated up. The red flame gradually ignited Ge Reese's clothes, completely engulfing her in flames. The body's white and delicate skin gradually turned yellow, oozing oil, turning black, and finally completely charred.
The air was filled with the strong smell of burnt meat.
Garon quietly watched Ge Reese's beautiful face being burned beyond recognition. Only then did he slowly walk out of the alley.
The vagrants in the alley were all lying on the ground, knocked unconscious by the small rocks. Garon's Mammoth Secret Technique now had the power of vibration. He could easily knock all these vagrants unconscious.
The smoke in the alley grew bigger. Garon left the alley and quickly returned to Circling Dance Gate.
It only took him half an hour to go and return.
A young girl was cleaning the yard with a broom. After greeting her politely, Garon returned to the room arranged for him and sat at the table with the Secret Technique books.
For the time being, no matter what happened in Huaishan City, since Ge Reese was the traitor, then Celestial Circle Gate would definitely know his exact location. He did not plan to escape. Many warriors from the Southern Twelve Gates were gathered here, and it was also the place where he could most likely fight against Celestial Circle Gate and the secret organization. If he ran away now, it was very likely that he would implicate his master and the others in Huaishan. This battle was unavoidable.
The situation now was very simple. As long as he could stop Andrela and support the White Cloud Gate, then everything would be fine. The other forces would not scatter when the wall fell. Once he was defeated, he would be the last hope of the White Cloud Gate. Everything else would just be a fat piece of meat in everyone's eyes.
Putting aside the matter of Ge Reese, he put the cold coffee aside and picked up the secret manual of the Boulder Martial Art to carefully flip through it.
At the same time, the Boulder Art option gradually appeared in his skill bar.
'Boulder Art: Uninitiated (Total of three levels), Practice Requirements: Vitality, Strength, Agility, Minimum Required Stats of 1.00.'
This secret technique required fifteen years to master every level. It was very time-consuming, and the initial requirements were very high. This was also the main reason why low-level secret techniques were left unused.
Moreover, the most important reason for the Boulder Art was that the Vitality, Strength, and Agility had to be at least 1.00. The standard of 1.00 was the average standard for an adult male.
This meant that only an adult's body could fulfill the basic requirements to learn this secret technique.
Furthermore, every level required fifteen years of practice. This was another key difficulty. Fifteen years to master a secret technique, and this secret technique was only a low-level fourth-rate one. No one would be willing to do such a stupid thing.
Garon focused on the description of the Boulder Art after mastering it.
'When the Boulder Art is mastered, the body will be as hard as a boulder. Blood will circulate automatically at all times, equivalent to being in the strongest defense state at all times. Vitality and speed will increase by a large margin. This secret technique is derived from the indestructible nature of boulders in the mountain range. After mastering it, blood and Qi will be as hard as a boulder, and the mind will be calm. It will also have a positive effect on the temperament of the irascible practitioner. '
Garon suddenly thought of Jaimea Lily. Was that cold and hard look caused by the practice of this technique? Perhaps not entirely, but she was using this technique as a reference, he guessed.
"Could it be that the speed of my vitality will increase in this aspect?" Garon was looking forward to it.
He immediately stood up according to the first posture. At the same time, he adjusted his state of mind according to the breathing method and Blood Qi adjustment method. His mind gradually entered the state of calmness mentioned by the secret technique.
However, ten minutes later, Garon suddenly felt an itch in his chest and abdomen. It was as if his internal organs were itching. Following that, ten seconds later, his skin and muscles started to itch as well.
It was not very itchy, just a slight feeling.
This was very similar to the technique described in the secret manual. Only when the itch appeared, became stronger, and disappeared, could the first level of mastery be considered complete.
However, this itch was very weak. Garon guessed that it was caused by the wrong time of practice. The Boulder Technique required one to practice it in the middle of the night. There must be a reason behind it.

Dina City Train Station
In the dead of night, a white, luxurious train slowly came to a stop in an empty train station.
The door in the middle of the carriage opened. A row of passengers wearing casual clothes slowly alighted. Some of them looked like students, some like tourists, some like workers, and some like intellectuals. There were all kinds of outfits, but they all had one thing in common. That was, they all wore a silver cross symbol on their chest.
After most of them alighted, only three men and two women slowly alighted.
Among the five, only one of them looked like an old man in his sixties or seventies. The other four were all young people.
Three of the young people calmly followed behind a long-haired man as they slowly alighted.
"We're finally here, Dina City. If it wasn't for the news that Garon had come here, we wouldn't have to change trains in the middle. "The long-haired man shook his head helplessly. He had a black eyepatch over his left eye, and a rare dark golden pupil in his right eye. His hair reached his waist, and he wore a black windbreaker. He had a mysterious aura.
"How is it? Andrela, Dina City. This is July Gate's territory. Are you confident? "The old man looked up at the Dina City name tag hanging above the train station.
"It's okay." Andrela smiled, and gently pressed the thin sword at his waist that was covered by his windbreaker.
"Speaking of which, you've been a Grandmaster of Combat for so long. You might have a chance to break through this time." The old man was a little emotional, and a little expectant.
Andrela still only smiled. "Although Grandmasters of Combat are far superior to ordinary people, and are classified as inhuman, they don't fear guns or bullets. There are even some top Grandmasters of Combat who don't think of themselves as ordinary people, and see ordinary people as ants. Although that path is strong, it's not the path I want to take. That's why I've been staying here for a long time. "
The old man was a little surprised. It was the first time he heard the eldest disciple of Celestial Circle Gate express his opinion. "Then what path do you want to take?"
"Grandmasters of Combat are divided into good and evil. The difference is that the fighting style is the most important. The good path doesn't hide their light, and oppresses others with their power. The evil path's secret techniques are endless. Each has its own merits, and I haven't figured out what the third path is. But I feel like I'm almost there … Level D … is not the end … "Andrela's eyes flashed with an inexplicable look. "The path of martial arts should be endless."
"This is also our hope." The old man patted Andrela's shoulder, and a hint of gratification flashed in his eyes. "You're not confused by meaningless emotions, as expected of my disciple!"
Andrela shook his head slowly. "Master, some people, some things, are just buried history. I'm not the first Grandmaster of Combat to walk this path."
"I know." The old man nodded. "Go, bring the glory of Celestial Circle Gate with you. This is the war of unification, no one can stop you! "
"I think so too." Andrela smiled and strode out. The other three followed behind him like bodyguards.
*****
Late at night.
Circling Dance Gate.
Garon sat cross-legged in the middle of the cold dojo.
The muscles on his body were slowly wriggling like a mouse, as if there were countless earthworms crawling all over his body.
"Although I've entered this level as a Grandmaster of Combat, I'm still not sure what a real Grandmaster of Combat is." He constantly adjusted his body's blood and condition according to the Boulder Technique.
"Su Lin once said that a Grandmaster of Combat is a martial artist who has reached the peak of the human body's limit in a certain aspect. Their skills have been tempered thousands of times, and there are no fatal flaws."
"But is the human body's limit really only this high? Although I can resist bullets, bombs and artillery shells, I'm still powerless. "Garon slowly raised his hands above his head.
Ha!
With a low roar, the muscles on his body suddenly expanded. It was not the expansion of the Mammoth Secret Technique, but a small amount of muscle expansion.
"A martial artist who has also entered the human body's limit, the number one youth expert in the South, Andrela." Garon's eyes faintly showed a hint of expectation. That was the real expectation for an opponent of the same level.
In an instant, the Boulder Technique on the skill pane in his vision slowly jumped.
'Boulder Technique: Beginner (Total of three levels)'
Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat.
Slowly getting up, the Four Big Forms of the White Cloud Combat Technique slowly activated. His whole body was immersed in the extreme state of the Mammoth Secret Technique. He was no longer using the special breathing method of the Mammoth Secret Technique, but the breathing method of the Boulder Technique.
The Boulder Technique and the Mammoth Secret Technique seemed to be reacting. Garon was completely immersed in the chain combination of the Four Big Forms. His hands, elbows, knees, shoulders and other parts of his body could use unimaginable combination techniques. The faint sound of an elephant's cry could be faintly heard in the air.
The Boulder Technique had just shown the beginner state, and it slowly disappeared.
Strangely, the Mammoth Secret Technique also slowly disappeared. It was replaced by a brand new Secret Technique. A symbol slowly appeared behind this Secret Technique.
'Mammoth Variant Secret Technique: Explosive Level.'
Garon looked at the symbol behind.
"Blood Qi Stabilization Level 1: The body's blood qi is integrated, able to reflect the opponent. Originated from the Boulder Technique. Can be trained to a higher level through the Boulder Technique. "
After deciphering the meaning of the symbol, he was a little surprised. "The main effect of the Boulder Technique is a strong defense. It can be stacked on top of the Mammoth Secret Technique, but there is an additional ability behind it that can be trained to a higher level through the Boulder Technique. But why is there no reaction from the Iron Body? I think the Iron Body can be fused too! "
He slowly retracted his stance and focused his attention on the Iron Body skill.
Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat. He slowly activated the Iron Body and slowly practiced the Four Big Forms fist technique.
After a few minutes, the Iron Body also slowly disappeared.
The symbol behind the Mammoth Variant Secret Technique changed slightly. It became two. One was Blood Qi Stabilization, the other was Epidermal Hardening.
'Blood Qi Stabilization Level 1: The body's blood qi is integrated, able to reflect the opponent. Originated from the Boulder Technique. Can be trained to a higher level through the Boulder Technique. '
'Epidermal Hardening Level 1: The skin's hardness increases, able to resist the damage of high-intensity sharp weapons. Originated from the Iron Body. Can be trained to a higher level through the Iron Body. '
Now that all the Body Hardening Secret Techniques had merged into one, only this variant Secret Technique was left.
