Logan Walker’s previous life was that of a grandmaster who had mastered both internal and external martial arts. With his extraordinary experience from his past life as a foundation, and the highly favorable cultivation environment in this life, he managed to sort out the general framework within just a week. He even tailored a set of training methods specifically for himself.

Blake Carter’s physical body had one advantage: a solid grasp of the basics. Although the Qin family didn’t possess any powerful martial arts manuals or secret techniques, when it came to fundamentals, Blake Carter practiced with meticulous precision and unwavering diligence.

If you practice martial arts without working on your fundamentals, it all comes to nothing in the end.

These ten words were repeatedly emphasized to Logan Walker by the old man who adopted him on the very first day he began training in his previous life. The meaning was clear: practicing martial arts is like building a house—you must first lay a solid foundation. If your basics aren’t strong, no matter how long you train, it won’t amount to much and won’t withstand any real test.

He was quite pleased that what Blake Carter left him was a body with solid fundamentals. This would save him a lot of effort.

However, while the basics were solid, looking further, the shortcomings became apparent.

Due to the lack of martial arts manuals, Blake Carter’s specific offensive and defensive skills were extremely monotonous, and his personality lacked flexibility and adaptability. These were all factors that led to his complete defeat in duels.

In this world, there is a cultivation rule that is vastly different from his previous life.

In his past life, there were no strict boundaries between the qualifications for training internal and external martial arts. Masters of external martial arts could also cultivate internal strength. In fact, all the ancient martial arts experts on Earth in his previous life were without exception masters of both internal and external arts.

But in this world, the rules are very different. Here, only when external skills are trained to the limit and the body reaches a certain level, can internal energy be generated from the outside in, thus entering the stage of internal energy cultivation.

External skills involve toughening the flesh, bones, and fists through hard work, and can be supplemented with various medicinal aids.

Only when the muscles, bones, and meridians are trained to a certain level will internal energy naturally arise.

This stage of external training is called the Strength Martial Realm in this world.

Once internal energy is generated, one enters the realm of internal energy cultivation, known as the True Martial Realm.

Both the Strength Martial Realm and the True Martial Realm are divided into nine levels. Each level has clear requirements for advancement, and many martial artists of average talent spend their entire lives lingering in the Strength Martial Realm until death.

On one hand, this is due to limited talent; on the other, it’s the lack of superior cultivation methods required for advancement.

Cultivation methods in this world are extremely private treasures and are never shared with others.

Blake Carter is a typical example of lacking cultivation methods. Without superior martial arts manuals or advanced offensive and defensive skills, no matter how solid your basics are, it’s all for nothing. Can a strong camel really deal with ferocious wolves and tigers?

Therefore, Logan Walker’s current focus is on practicing external skills, training his flesh, bones, and meridians to a certain level, and striving to break through the Strength Martial Realm as soon as possible.

This Strength Martial Realm should be the peak of external martial arts in his previous life. It’s strong, but when facing masters of internal energy, it’s still at a disadvantage.

Logan Walker was a peak master of both internal and external arts in his previous life, with profound internal strength and unmatched in his era. By comparison, his cultivation in his previous life would at least be equivalent to, if not surpass, the peak of the ninth level of the True Martial Realm in this world.

Logan Walker is now constrained by the cultivation rules of this world. Without reaching the peak of the Strength Martial Realm, internal energy cannot be generated, so the True Martial Realm is temporarily out of reach.

Only by training his muscles, bones, and meridians to their peak and breaking through the Strength Martial Realm can he generate internal energy and enter the True Martial Realm.

He believed that, with his past life’s experience, three to six months should be enough to master these external skills. After all, his previous experience was invaluable.

Given his situation, once internal energy is generated, he is confident that within three to four years, he can recover seventy to eighty percent of his peak strength from his previous life and climb straight to the peak of the True Martial Realm in this world.

He must push himself, accelerate his pace, and speed up his progress. Whether it’s the “family evaluation” in four years or the demon who claims he will take his sister away in four years, he cannot afford even a moment’s slack.

After adjusting his stamina and breathing, Logan Walker practiced a set of “Great Vajra Fist,” a style characterized by its fierce and powerful moves, in line with the tradition of his previous life.

After finishing a set of “Great Vajra Fist,” Logan Walker couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. The foundation left to him from his previous life was really a bit weak. If a master of similar level from his previous life saw this set of “Great Vajra Fist,” they would surely laugh out loud, as it hardly contained any of the true essence of “overwhelming strength conquers all.”

However, Logan Walker was not discouraged—this was just the beginning.

Just as he was preparing to regulate his breathing again, he heard his sister Grace Carter calling from the edge of the training ground: “Wushuang, Father wants you to come to the main hall. There are guests from the county city.”

Given Logan Walker’s martial arts fanaticism, he would never be distracted during training. But the current situation was delicate—if the visitors from the county city were rivals, not going would make it seem like he was afraid and avoiding them.

He straightened his clothes, took the towel handed over by his sister, wiped his sweat, and walked through the training ground toward the main hall.

There were three guests in total, one of whom was unmistakably the head of the County Martial Youth Academy, Henry King. This man fancied himself a cultured gentleman and styled himself as “A Heart of Pure Devotion, Henry King.”

As for the other two, Blake Carter’s memories held no impression of them at all.
