Chapter 53: Practice Qisha Fist and obtain Ark Reactor Technology
Jiang Feng recalled the past, pondering silently.
"Among the Hand's five fingers, only Madam Gao mastered this unique technique. Its power was remarkable, but unfortunately, she was old and frail in the end, and I forcibly killed her."
"My natural talent far surpasses the five fingers. Since Madam Gao could master this art, I can certainly succeed — and be even stronger."
Jiang Feng was full of confidence in his own potential.
After all, his body had undergone continuous strengthening, and the depth of his potential was beyond the reach of ordinary people.
After browsing the earlier sections on body forging and the essentials of power generation,
Jiang Feng immediately sat cross-legged and began to cultivate the set of Qi Sha Fist.
Following the ancient manual's incantations precisely, he first adjusted his breathing rhythm, inhaling and exhaling the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in an orderly manner.
He focused on sensing the free-flowing energy in the air and carefully tried to draw it into his body.
Amazingly,
in less than a minute,
Jiang Feng clearly felt that mysterious, indescribable sensation.
It was as if the natural energy of heaven and earth could no longer hide from his perception, all of it being sharply captured.
Following the mental formula,
he began guiding the surrounding energy into his body.
In an instant,
Jiang Feng's body became like a bottomless black hole,
endlessly drawing in torrents of energy like rivers flowing into the sea, perfectly refining and absorbing it.
The vast energy gathered and condensed in his abdomen, gradually forming a mass of true qi unique to him.
"It's done!"
Feeling the first strand of true qi form within him, Jiang Feng was overjoyed.
He immediately stopped meditating,
leaping up nimbly and beginning the dynamic movements of the Qi Sha Fist.
After all,
absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was merely the foundation.
Only by fully mastering the core techniques of the Qi Sha Fist could one truly unleash qi externally and strike enemies from a distance.
Just by skimming through the ancient text,
Jiang Feng had engraved every movement's key points deeply into his mind.
He immediately began to perform them.
His fists and feet were like dragons and tigers, fierce and powerful.
The gusts stirred by his blows swept through like a storm, toppling furniture and decorations in the spacious living room into a mess.
As his mastery of the moves grew,
the surrounding energy gathered faster and faster, surging wildly into his body.
The true qi in Jiang Feng's dantian also grew at an astonishing rate.
Thus,
he entered an extremely profound state of unity with nature.
He forgot the passage of time and the troubles of the world.
Until the next morning,
when a ray of golden sunlight shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows onto Jiang Feng's bronzed skin, he slowly awoke from his enlightened state.
He stood, slowly drawing his energy back in.
Even with a body of flesh and blood, Jiang Feng could now contend head-on with an Iron Man suit.
After just one night of practice, he was drenched in sweat, droplets rolling down his strong chest.
"Kunlun martial arts truly are extraordinary. My physique has advanced another level."
Jiang Feng walked to the mirror,
gazing at the muscular, godlike figure reflected back.
He could clearly feel that his strength had leapt to a new level overnight.
More importantly,
the surging, pure true qi within him
could enhance his attacks at any moment, even allowing him to strike enemies from a distance.
With a single punch or kick,
he could severely injure an opponent several meters away.
Afterward,
Jiang Feng took a refreshing hot shower, casually drying his dripping black hair with a towel as he stepped out.
The morning sunlight bathed his perfectly sculpted body, rivaling an ancient Greek statue, exuding irresistible masculine charm.
"Tsk tsk, my looks and physique are getting more handsome by the day,"
Jiang Feng said to himself in the mirror, unabashedly admiring his reflection.
"Master, last night Ivan Vanko couldn't hold back and secretly made an Arc Reactor. I've recorded every step of his process in full."
At that moment, Linglong's crisp, pleasant electronic voice rang out.
"Well, this really is a double blessing."
Hearing this,
Jiang Feng quickly dressed, put on his smart glasses, and eagerly watched the video Linglong had secretly recorded.
In the footage,
after work, Ivan looked around, making sure no one was nearby, then stealthily hacked into Hammer Tower's security system.
He altered the surveillance footage.
Only after doing this did he relax and boldly begin making the priceless Arc Reactor,
afraid that even a shred of his life's work might be leaked.
However,
Ivan could never have imagined that
Hammer Tower had already been fully infiltrated and completely controlled by Linglong, the AI.
He thought his hacking had successfully breached Hammer Industries' systems,
but in truth,
it was merely an illusion created by Linglong.
Ivan's hacking skills were indeed far superior to Hammer Industries' mediocre staff,
but compared to Linglong, the gap was like heaven and earth.
Having just trained Qi Sha Fist all night, Jiang Feng felt no fatigue at all — instead, he was brimming with energy and vitality.
He focused intently on the video of Ivan building the Arc Reactor.
With Hammer Industries' equipment and materials at his disposal,
Ivan's working conditions were vastly better than Tony Stark's back when he was trapped in a cave.
Though perhaps slightly less brilliant than Tony,
Ivan's advantageous environment and solid foundation
allowed him to complete a finely crafted, high-performance Arc Reactor in just one night,
intended to enhance his deadly Whiplash armor.
As for the mass-produced drones Hammer would use,
Ivan and Jiang Feng were of one mind —
they both planned to cut corners, producing only shoddy, low-quality power cores to get by.
A high-quality Arc Reactor
required a full night of Ivan's painstaking work.
But dozens of inferior power sources
could be made in just two or three nights.
Jiang Feng set the video to triple speed,
watching without blinking, not missing a single detail.
"So that's how it is! What an imaginative design. To create such mind-blowing technology in the last century's less advanced era — Howard Stark was truly a genius among geniuses."
Jiang Feng sighed sincerely,
feeling deep admiration for the legendary scientist.
His eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly.
The value of the Arc Reactor technology was no less than that of the Super Soldier Serum.
He could clearly feel that his skill in mechanical manufacturing had taken another qualitative leap.
After Jiang Feng finished studying the precious video again and again,
it was already nearing 10 a.m.
He had long missed normal working hours.
But Jiang Feng didn't care in the slightest — he no longer concerned himself with the nine-to-five grind.
After all, at Hammer Industries,
he had already obtained ample resources and, more importantly, the coveted Arc Reactor technology.
The Iron Man suit Jiang Feng had promised Hammer
now sat perfectly in the lab, along with an Iron Monger suit he'd thrown in as a bonus.
His deal with Hammer was complete,
and his goals had been achieved — there was no need to waste time at Hammer Industries any longer.
Next,
Jiang Feng would take advantage of the remaining time before this trial world's story concluded,
seizing as much benefit as possible in the Marvel world full of endless possibilities.
