Anhe Martial Arts School.
Backyard.
"In the Lesser Heavenly Cycle Strength Training Fist, you've only practiced the first three moves of the Blood Essence chapter so far: the Four Levels Body Solidifying Stance, Jiazi Tianchen, and Ruowang Suitian. These three moves are also the foundation of Martial Path cultivation."
"Only by breaking through the Blood Essence Realm with these three moves can you be considered qualified to cultivate the Martial Path."
"While the qualifications needed for Martial Path cultivation aren't as stringent as those for the Immortal Dao, not everyone can achieve success in cultivation."
"To succeed in Martial Path cultivation, talent, bone structure, techniques, comprehension, and cultivation resources are all indispensable."
Lu Feng looked at Shi Yi and spoke slowly.
This was the first time Lu Feng was personally instructing Shi Yi after his breakthrough to the Blood Essence Realm.
"The complete Lesser Heavenly Cycle Strength Training Fist includes the Blood Essence chapter and the Flesh and Blood chapter. If fully cultivated, it can allow one to progress from an ordinary person to a Martial Student in the Flesh and Blood Realm."
"This is also the realm that can be cultivated within our Anhe Martial Arts School."
"If you wish to further advance your Martial Path cultivation, you will need to go to the Anhe Martial Arts School in Ninghe County to cultivate the subsequent technique, the Great Heavenly Cycle Body Tempering Fist."
"When the Lesser Heavenly Cycle Strength Training Fist and the Great Heavenly Cycle Body Tempering Fist are both cultivated successfully and merged, achieving the unity of the heavenly cycles, they form one of the most superior techniques for cultivating to the Martial Master realm within the Bone Refining Realm. This set of techniques originates from Jixia Academy, is renowned throughout the land, and is widely circulated."
"Only those from Jixia Academy are qualified to teach this set of techniques."
"Among my disciples, the third, sixth, and eighth are all cultivating at the Anhe Martial Arts School."
"I'm telling you this now so you have a general understanding of the origin of this technique."
Lu Feng took a sip of tea.
He was also letting Shi Yi know that the Lesser Heavenly Cycle Strength Training Fist had an extraordinary origin.
"Although the disciple-accepting ceremony hasn't been held yet, I see that you've managed to converge your Blood Essence and stabilize your foundation in just one day, proving you are qualified to cultivate the next set of techniques."
"This time, I will personally demonstrate the complete Lesser Heavenly Cycle Strength Training Fist for you. If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to ask."
Lu Feng put down his teacup and stood up, his aura instantly changing.
From a middle-aged man who only knew how to enjoy himself, he transformed into someone sharp and imposing. Powerful Blood Essence surged from him, giving Shi Yi a strong sense of danger.
It felt as if he would die just by getting close.
"Watch carefully!"
As Lu Feng's voice fell, his body moved.
Starting with the Four Levels Body Solidifying Stance, he executed each move. At key junctures, Lu Feng would add a few words, highlighting crucial aspects of the cultivation.
The moves Lu Feng performed were more natural than those Zhao Cheng had demonstrated previously. While the forms were the same, the 'spirit' of the moves was different, and there were more variations.
This was Lu Feng's unique Lesser Heavenly Cycle Strength Training Fist. Each move showcased his understanding of the technique, no longer confined by the mere forms.
Shi Yi deeply understood this point, as his understanding of the Four Levels Body Solidifying Stance, Jiazi Tianchen, and Ruowang Suitian had also reached this level. Thus, he immediately recognized Lu Feng's state.
While watching, Shi Yi was also making comparisons in his mind.
After these three moves, Shi Yi's focus intensified, and he carefully observed Lu Feng's movements, as the following moves were crucial for his future cultivation.
The Lesser Heavenly Cycle Strength Training Fist had a total of twelve moves, which wasn't many. However, these moves were accompanied by variations when combined, making them more complex.
In the initial stages of cultivation, these moves were practiced individually, but later, they were practiced in conjunction.
The six moves for the Blood Essence Realm, when combined, offered numerous variations.
And when cultivating the Flesh and Blood Realm, the integration of Blood Essence Inscriptions made it even more complex!
Shi Yi committed all these movements to memory after watching them once. This was thanks to his Double Pupils and eidetic memory, but he had only memorized them, not mastered them.
Shi Yi also paid attention to the changes in Lu Feng's Blood Essence during his practice, as he could compare it to his own when he practiced.
Shi Yi was also wearing a disguised camera, recording Lu Feng's entire cultivation process.
Although his memory was excellent, perspectives from different angles could reveal subtle differences.
"These are all the moves and variations of the Lesser Heavenly Cycle Strength Training Fist!"
Lu Feng slowly finished his movements, and his Blood Essence also returned to normal, no longer exuding such a powerful aura.
A person's Blood Essence fluctuates during cultivation and rest, but it maintains a fixed threshold.
If injured or sick, one's Blood Essence would decrease, and it would disappear upon death.
In the Central Great World, dead bodies no longer possess Blood Essence.
This was something Shi Yi learned after he had taken someone's life.
"You try it too, let me see how much you've learned."
Lu Feng said to Shi Yi.
Zhao Cheng had praised Shi Yi many times in front of him, mentioning his quick learning ability.
He now wanted to see the extent of Shi Yi's learning capacity.
"Then, please bear with my clumsy attempt!"
Upon hearing this, Shi Yi began demonstrating, starting with the Four Levels Body Solidifying Stance.
The first three moves were perfect in both form and spirit. Only when the fourth move began was there a sense of awkwardness. However, the movements were somewhat similar to Lu Feng's, and some of the move variations were also imitated.
It was the same by the sixth move, but the movements were already a bit non-standard.
Starting from the seventh move, things took a sharp downturn. The movements and variations were vastly different from Lu Feng's. Even with Shi Yi's best efforts to imitate, it was difficult to be the same.
After twelve moves, Shi Yi was drenched in sweat!
"Not bad. Your comprehension in martial arts is even better than Zhao Cheng described."
"The first six moves of the Lesser Heavenly Cycle Strength Training Fist are the key to your current Blood Essence Realm cultivation. As for the remaining six moves, you can only fully master them after you reach the peak of the Blood Essence Realm and break through to the Flesh and Blood Realm."
"I'll tell you about the issues you encountered during your practice just now. First is..."
Lu Feng nodded slightly. Shi Yi's performance exceeded his expectations.
This learning ability was already terrifying!
Some people he had taught for a month couldn't compare to the few moves Shi Yi had just demonstrated.
In Martial Path cultivation, talent and comprehension were also very important aspects. These couldn't be determined by touch; they could only be seen after teaching and observing the practice.
Clearly, Shi Yi was also outstanding in this regard, even better than his previous disciples.
Given Shi Yi's current Martial Path talent, Bone Structure, and comprehension, there would be no problem for him to train at the Anhe Martial Arts School in Ninghe County.
In fact, Shi Yi's achievements would likely surpass those of the disciples who had previously joined the Anhe Martial Arts School in Ninghe County.
The founder of his Martial Arts School was no ordinary person; they were from Jixia Academy. If Shi Yi performed exceptionally, he could even use this channel to join Jixia Academy.
If Shi Yi could reach that point, Lu Feng would also benefit, and his status and position would rise.
"Thank you for your guidance, Master."
As Shi Yi performed the moves, Lu Feng would correct Shi Yi's actions and explain the connections between the move variations.
Lu Feng explained very meticulously, allowing Shi Yi to memorize them in conjunction with the movements.
This included the moves from the Flesh and Blood chapter.
