Entertainment King:I Can Extract Skills from the Movies

But Canhe Finger wasn't simple either.

In the original work, the Sweeper Monk once mocked Murong Fu's father:

"Your Gusu Murong clan's family martial arts are intricate and unparalleled in the world. The only issue is that you haven't mastered them properly. Do you really think they're inferior to the Duan family's Six Meridian Divine Sword?"

Even Murong Fu's manor was named Canhe Manor. Clearly, this was also a peerless skill.

Then there's the Murong family's secret poison, Three Laughs of Carefree Powder, capable of causing death after three consecutive bursts of laughter.

Lastly, there was the Bewitching Bees, gifted by Wang Yuyan's mother. Even Duan Yu, who had ingested the toxin-neutralizing Mangkut Zhuha, was rendered helpless by it.

"Wait... there's also another martial art from the Carefree Sect!" Du Sheng suddenly recalled something.

In this adaptation of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, Li Qiushui encountered Murong Fu during the Wanshan Assembly and taught him Small Formless Skill to help her and the other cave and island masters entrap Tianshan Tonglao.

Although Murong Fu only learned the basics, it was still something.

The biggest regret was that Azhu stole the Shaolin Temple's Tendon-Altering Sutra, the top of its 72 supreme skills, but didn't give it to Murong Fu. Instead, it ended up with Xiao Feng.

This skill transformed You Tanzhi, who trained in it for only three months, allowing him to single-handedly challenge Xiao Feng's Dragon Subduing Palm. The strength of this technique was evident.

Even though Azhu's decision to give it to Xiao Feng was integral to the plot, Du Sheng couldn't help but feel aggrieved.

He decided that the next time he saw Liu Tao, he'd share his frustrations. After all, she played Azhu, didn't she?

As for other possible purple-tier skills or items that weren't listed, there were likely more, but they didn't come to mind immediately.

Brimming with anticipation, Du Sheng mentally commanded: Draw!

As he willed it, the wheel began spinning counterclockwise at high speed.

Whirr!

Seven cards burst open, their radiant light dazzling.

[Congratulations! You've obtained a Shackle Card (Blue)!]

[Congratulations! You've obtained the exceptional skill Douzhuan Xingyi (Purple)!]

[Congratulations! You've obtained the secret medicine Tianshan Snow Lotus Powder!]

[Congratulations! You've obtained the treasure armor Black Silkworm Robe!]

[Congratulations! You've obtained the martial art Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill (Blue)!]

[Congratulations! You've obtained Murong Fu's sword!]

[Congratulations! You've obtained a box of Gold Leaves!]

"Holy... a purple one actually came out!"

Looking at the array of purple and blue items, Du Sheng was ecstatic. His eyes focused on the details.

Douzhuan Xingyi (Shifting Star Maneuver), Level 1/Purple (1000/4000).

Seeing this skill, Du Sheng nearly cheered out loud in excitement.

His first purple-tier reward was none other than a core skill—and it came with 1000 experience points!

This legendary martial art was unquestionably powerful.

Created by Grandmaster Murong Longcheng, it was synonymous with the phrase "using others' strengths against them."

Murong Bo once used it to redirect Shaolin's Vajra Staff and killed Master Xuanbi.

Murong Fu also used it against Ding Chunqiu in their battle, demonstrating its ability to redirect even poison-based attacks.

The most famous moment was during the Library Pavilion fight. Xiao Feng unleashed his full-strength Dragon Subduing Palm, and Murong Fu attempted to counter it with all his might using Shifting Star Maneuver. However, the Sweeper Monk interrupted.

Whether Shifting Star Maneuver could truly counter Dragon Subduing Palm remained an unsolved mystery.

In Du Sheng's past life, this debate raged among fans, even making headlines.

Now, having acquired the skill himself, Du Sheng couldn't help but want to find out.

He calmed his excitement and pondered deeply.

In the original story, this technique had nine levels, but his current version only had seven, implying purple wasn't its highest tier—gold was.

Analyzing further, he recalled that Murong Fu had barely reached the fourth level in the story, far from being a match for a fully-powered Xiao Feng.

Du Sheng speculated that while Murong Fu might have initially countered the Dragon Subduing Palm, reflecting it back would require equal inner strength—a crucial factor that could tip the balance.

Thinking of inner strength, Du Sheng paused.

Sure enough, as the purple glow merged with his body, a wave of tingling sensations coursed through him, and knowledge flooded his mind.

While he now possessed the heart technique, movements, and methods for Shifting Star Maneuver, every aspect—from absorbing attacks to redirecting them—depended heavily on inner strength.

"So, there really are no shortcuts here," Du Sheng sighed, his excitement slightly dampened.

He had imagined effortlessly countering powerful blows—even bullets—with this technique. Now, that seemed overly optimistic.

Still, he reconsidered. There might be ways to achieve this with time and training.

Revitalized, Du Sheng thought about internal energy cultivation through traditional martial arts or ancient techniques.

"These should be similar concepts. If others could master them, so can I!"

Feeling hopeful again, he glanced at the next item.

Shackle Card (Blue)—what's this?

Examining it closely, Du Sheng was elated.

The earlier frustration vanished instantly.

As the name suggested, it could break limits.

This card allowed him to upgrade any green-tier skill, technique, or manual to blue.

Scanning his list of green skills, Du Sheng quickly narrowed down his choice:

Culinary Arts LV1 (Green)

Acting LV2 (Green)

Singing LV2 (Green)

Language Mastery LV1 (Green)

Driving Mastery LV1 (Green)

Hedonism LV2 (Green)

Instrumental Performance LV1 (Green)

The decision wasn't hard. Among them, only his acting skill was nearing the peak of green and desperately needed an upgrade.

Without hesitation, he used the card on Acting.

Crack!

It felt as if an invisible barrier had shattered.

Instantly, a torrent of knowledge surged into Du Sheng's mind.

Emotional expression, psychological nuance, body language, tone, and eye movements—all fused seamlessly into a profound understanding.

Acting LV3/Blue (10,100/100,000).

Scanning his stats, Du Sheng's acting skill had indeed leveled up.

Voice, posture, expression, and form—all evenly distributed at 2525.

With this upgrade, not only could he perfectly interpret a character's emotions and psyche, but he could also design nuanced details based on their identity and circumstances.

His gestures and expressions would now exude authenticity.

Some had categorized actors into seven levels, citing examples:

1. No Acting: Angelababy, Yang Chaoyue.

2. Limited Emotion: Guan Xiaotong, Rene Liu.

3. Formulaic Acting (Passing Grade): Huang Xiaoming, Li Yitong, Lin Yuna.

4. Psychological Insight: Hu Ge, Kim Soo-hyun, Sun Li.

5. Character Creation: Veteran actors and Dongguan Kid.

6. Exuding Charisma: Chen Daoming in The Emperor's Shadow, Tony Leung in Infernal Affairs.

7. Transcendent Performance: Leslie Cheung in Farewell My Concubine, Tom Hanks, Tony Leung Ka-fai.

By this standard, Du Sheng believed he now stood between levels 4 and 5, surpassing 90% of actors in the industry.

If he were to play Murong Fu again, he could elevate the performance to unparalleled heights, making viewers feel as though he truly was Murong Fu.

This was the essence of mastery.

Du Sheng could now confidently say that, barring unforeseen circumstances, his future in the industry was bright and promising.
