"The Asura Arts Discovery: Unleashing Hidden Powers"

Opening the Asura Arts manual, Huang Xiaolong's eyes were immediately drawn to the blood-red first page. There, he saw a human-like figure with blood-red eyes, bare muscular upper body, and upright white hair—a manifestation of the Asura form. As Huang Xiaolong gazed at this eerie human-like Asura, he felt an overwhelming aura of slaughter and darkness, as if it had emerged from the depths of Hell to engulf him. His own eyes turned blood-red, and his expression became bewildered and pained. Just as he was about to descend into madness, Huang Xiaolong's Martial Spirit, the Double-Headed Snake, appeared behind him, letting out a resounding howl that shook the heavens. The blood-red in Huang Xiaolong's eyes receded, and he regained his composure, filled with astonishment.

In that moment, the first page of the Asura figure detached itself from the manual, and a flash of light imprinted itself on Huang Xiaolong's forehead, instantly filling his mind with a new cultivation technique. This technique was the first layer of the Asura Arts, titled "The Source of Hell, the Beginning of Evil." Huang Xiaolong contemplated the enigmatic and mystical aspects of this Cultivation Technique.

In the Martial Spirit World, Battle Qi Cultivation Techniques were divided into four realms: Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Huang, with each realm further divided into three levels: low, middle, and high. Huang Xiaolong wondered which level of Cultivation Technique this Asura Arts belonged to.

After a while, Huang Xiaolong turned to the second page, which depicted another human-like Asura. Unlike the previous one, this Asura had two black wings spread wide, exuding a fierce and slaughterous aura. Similar to before, as Huang Xiaolong opened the second page, he was instantly engulfed by the aura of slaughter emanating from Hell. But once again, his Double-Headed Snake Martial Spirit appeared and suppressed the slaughterous aura, allowing the second layer of the Asura Arts Cultivation Technique to brand itself into Huang Xiaolong's mind.

He continued to flip through the manual, page after page, and with each turn, his mind absorbed the Cultivation Techniques associated with the Asura Arts. Although Huang Xiaolong read at a moderate pace, it took him an hour to reach the final page.

The last page did not contain a Cultivation Technique but instead bore a line of majestic characters that seemed to soar like dragons and dance like phoenixes. It read, "Bearer of Hell's slaughter aura, I pass on to you my Asura Arts Cultivation Technique. Become my direct disciple and inherit the Asura Sect! Asura, unrivaled in the world!"

Huang Xiaolong was stunned. Asura Sect's first Sect Master, Ren Wokuang, had inscribed these words. Ren Wokuang's claim of being unrivaled in the world seemed audacious, as no one dared to proclaim themselves invincible. Yet, Ren Wokuang boldly asserted that his practice of the Asura Arts made him unmatched in the world. In a few succinct sentences, the inscription exuded arrogance and aggression.

In that moment, the manual slipped from Huang Xiaolong's grasp, accompanied by a black ring that fell from it. Surprised, Huang Xiaolong picked up both the manual and the ring. From the manual, he learned that the ring was called the Asura Ring, while the stone wall held two black, sharp blades known as Asura Blades.

To his surprise, the Asura Ring was a legendary Space Ring—a concept he had heard from his father, who mentioned that only the king of the entire Luo Tong Kingdom possessed one. Even his grandfather, Huang Qide, did not have such a ring. The appearance of a Space Ring often sparked fierce competitions among individuals.

After a moment, Huang Xiaolong suppressed his excitement. Following the instructions in the manual, he pricked his little finger and let a drop of his own blood fall onto the Asura Ring. The ring emitted black rays of light, flew through the air, and automatically settled on Huang Xiaolong's left ring finger, concealing itself within his body. With a mental command, the Asura Ring could manifest itself at will.

Satisfied with the capabilities of the Asura Ring, Huang Xiaolong turned his attention to the two black Asura Blades hanging on the stone wall. He sprang forward and took hold of them, feeling a bone-chilling and terrifying aura emanating from the blades. Upon closer examination, Huang Xiaolong noticed that the blade bodies emitted a faint, otherworldly black light, forming indistinct and terrifying images. The more he looked at them, the more he felt a deep affinity.

"Asura Blades, the blades of slaughter. Excellent! From now on, you shall accompany me in slaughtering all our enemies!" Huang Xiaolong said as he caressed the blade bodies. Strangely, the Asura Blades seemed to understand his words and emitted an excited and eerie howl.

Pleased with this response, Huang Xiaolong followed the same procedure as with the Asura Ring. He let two drops of his blood merge with the blades, and the blade bodies radiated light before flying and submerging themselves in Huang Xiaolong's arms. Two Asura Blade patterns appeared on his skin, resembling two blade tattoos.

Afterward, Huang Xiaolong stored the Asura Arts manual in the Asura Ring and prepared to leave the room. However, upon reaching the entrance, he paused and turned his gaze to the cold jade bed, deciding to take it along as well.

Leaving the room, Huang Xiaolong navigated through the cave and confirmed that there was nothing left behind. He then exited the cave, leaving the Water-Repelling Bead behind. The mountain valley cave was well-hidden, and he planned to use it for practice in the future, making it advantageous to keep the cave intact.

Once outside the cave, Huang Xiaolong returned to the shore of the green lake, dressed himself, and stored the Yang Fruit in the Asura Ring.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak!" At that moment, the Spirit Devouring Purple Monkey, having refined the Yang Fruit's Spiritual Power, awakened and began to move. Spotting Huang Xiaolong, it joyfully squeaked and ran over, captivated by the adorable little monkey. Huang Min, Huang Xiaolong's younger sister, appeared from the small courtyard and saw the Spirit Devouring Purple Monkey on his shoulder, causing her eyes to widen. She clapped her hands in delight and exclaimed, "What an adorable little monkey! Big Brother, where did you buy it?"
