Tai Shang Gan Ying, Heaven-Man Resonance

A massive amount of information flooded into Li Changqing's brain.

Li Changqing lost the ability to think at that moment. The torrent of information, out of self-preservation, caused his consciousness to forcibly go dormant.

Countless complex characters floated around. Li Changqing couldn't process them at all, only letting them echo in the depths of his consciousness, eventually condensing into a perfect Tai Chi yin-yang symbol.

"Changqing, Changqing!"

"Hey, why did you fall asleep?"

Urgent calls jolted Li Changqing's consciousness awake from its deep slumber.

His body trembled, and the Qi and Blood in his dantian surged, pulling his consciousness back into his mind.

Li Changqing opened his eyes and saw Kang Tianchen shaking his shoulders.

Seeing Li Changqing open his eyes, Kang Tianchen became annoyed.

"Kid, how did you fall asleep while watching?"

"Me? Asleep?" Li Changqing looked bewildered, pointing to himself.

"What else?" Kang Tianchen grabbed his hair and shook it.

"You were snoring just now. What did you do yesterday to be so tired?"

Li Changqing shook his head and stood up.

"Coach Kang, how long was I asleep?"

"Half an hour."

"Half an hour!" Li Changqing was stunned. He felt like he had only been out for a minute or two at most.

How could it have been so long?

He followed Kang Tianchen to the entrance of the Martial Arts Hall. Huang Xuan was stuffing his face with food from a tray. Seeing Li Changqing and Kang Tianchen emerge, he waved enthusiastically.

"Coach, how's Junior Brother Li? Did he figure anything out?"

"Sigh." Hearing this, Kang Tianchen felt helpless. "He didn't figure much out, but he did get a good nap."

"Sleep?" Huang Xuan was shocked. Seeing Li Changqing remain silent, Huang Xuan thought Kang Tianchen was scolding his junior brother, who hadn't even joined yet, and quickly tried to smooth things over.

"Coach, please calm down. Junior Brother isn't even a Martial Artist yet, so it's normal he can't figure anything out. Look at me, I didn't see anything either. Don't ask so much of him."

Kang Tianchen nodded without saying anything and led Li Changqing out of the Martial Arts Hall.

"Alright, it seems you don't have much fate with that thing. You heard what Huang Xuan said, right?"

"Even he, a formal Martial Artist, couldn't figure anything out. Don't overthink it, just focus on your training and strive to perform the fist technique I taught you completely within a year and enter the Transformation Stage."

"If you have any questions, feel free to come to the Martial Arts Hall to find me. If I'm not here, find Huang Xuan. He was also my student. The hall master is returning soon, so I won't see you off. Go back and get some good rest."

Kang Tianchen left, leaving Li Changqing standing alone in the night breeze.

He looked inward at himself.

His breathing technique and fist art remained unchanged. Only at the very top, a new entry appeared.

[Tai Shang Gan Ying Pian (Human Immortal Department)]

There was no proficiency level, no progress bar, just that single entry lying there.

After staring for a long time, there was still no reaction.

Li Changqing gazed at the profound yin-yang symbol swirling in the depths of his consciousness, but he couldn't discern anything.

"What exactly is this thing?" Li Changqing took out his phone.

"Tai Shang Gan Ying Pian, it sounds like the name of a Taoist scripture."

He tried searching for it, but found nothing.

"And the Human Immortal Department, what does that refer to?"

Li Changqing's mind was in a mess. This thing, which looked like an Old Technique, had appeared in the Psionic Energy stone tablet.

Moreover, why didn't the Psionic Energy react to him, but instead scattered directly?

That shouldn't be right.

He walked onto the greenway, exerting slight force with his legs. Even in the pathless forest, he could maintain a speed of 80 kilometers per hour and run 40 kilometers.

A few kilometers was barely even a warm-up.

Not wanting to use the main gate, Li Changqing slightly bent his knees and leaped three meters into the air from flat ground. After clearing the community wall, he arrived directly at the open space where he usually practiced.

If he couldn't figure it out, he wouldn't think about it.

Since it was useless for now, he would ignore it.

He hadn't forgotten that he only had one month.

To catch up to Sun Sheng, he couldn't slack off for a single moment in these thirty days.

One hand for yang, one hand for yin.

Li Changqing slowly drew arcs with his arms, as if holding a ball in his embrace, his hands Yin and Yang alternating, manifesting Tai Chi.

Hoo—

Qi and Blood surged from his Dantian, flowing through the meridians of his entire body, resonating with the muscles and fascia to temper his bones and sinews.

The cultivation of a Lower-Rank Martial Artist was tedious.

Nourishing Qi and Blood, refining muscles and bones.

Only when Qi and Blood permeated the entire body and the physical form reached its peak could a powerful spirit be nurtured, allowing one to visualize an Artistic Conception.

Old Technique Tai Chi, an Old Technique evolved from Chengtian Tai Chi Fist, was the foundation of Li Changqing's martial path. It was precisely because of this that the progress of this cultivation method was so slow.

Just as his hands switched, and Qi and Blood flowed through his meridians for one full cycle.

In his mind, the mysterious Tai Chi Yin-Yang fish flickered for an instant.

[Old Technique Tai Chi (Flowing Water True Meaning): 36%]

A thread of clarity surged into his heart. After his enlightenment in the mountains and rivers, and being cleansed by the flowing water, his proficiency in Old Technique Tai Chi, which had reached 35%, had actually increased by 1% just like this.

Li Changqing was stunned. He didn't even need to confirm it; the clarity that appeared in his mind was undeniable.

With the increase in proficiency, his mastery of Old Technique Tai Chi deepened further.

Following the momentum, Li Changqing shifted his stance, his center of gravity moving with him.

Wild Horse Parts Mane.

[Old Technique Tai Chi (Flowing Water True Meaning): 37%]

There was no mistake!

Li Changqing's heart trembled. After he completed one Tai Chi move, the Yin-Yang fish that had been circling the depths of his consciousness had definitely moved!

Did Tai Shang Gan Ying Pian have any connection with Old Technique Tai Chi?

Li Changqing's thoughts raced, but it didn't stop him from smoothly executing the next move.

Ward Off and Pound Fist.

[Old Technique Tai Chi (Flowing Water True Meaning), Proficiency: 38%]

A strong sense of clarity surged into his heart once more. Li Changqing followed the new insights, changing his movements.

The Qi and Blood that had been flowing slowly suddenly accelerated with his punches.

This sudden feeling was akin to the exhaustion he felt the first time he practiced Chengtian Tai Chi Fist with Kang Tianchen, when all his muscles and bones were mobilized.

Li Changqing's expectations were repeatedly surpassed, and his movements became faster and faster.

Old Technique Tai Chi was a boxing style that was not fast, even considered slow.

Each move emphasized completeness and continuity, aiming to mobilize the entire body's muscles and fascia and refine Qi and Blood.

Yet, this slow, almost elderly-like boxing style, under Li Changqing's continuous practice, actually produced a whistling sound.

Before he even finished the entire set of Tai Chi, a divine light seemed to emanate from Li Changqing's pupils.

[Old Technique Tai Chi (Flowing Water True Meaning): 50%]

In just this short period, he had pushed the proficiency of Tai Chi to half.

At this moment, Li Changqing truly confirmed that he had found a great treasure!

Even if he couldn't cultivate it at all right now, Tai Shang Gan Ying Pian had already provided him with more help than any other technique.

Continue!

His movements became faster and more fluid. Within a few breaths.

The heavy, mercury-like Qi and Blood completely disappeared into his Dantian.

In the realm of Embracing the Pill and Returning Strength, the more refined the Qi and Blood, the more complex it was to mobilize.

Before this, only when he was on the verge of breaking through his limits could he mobilize all his Qi and Blood. At that time, his Qi and Blood would be nearly depleted, completely incomparable to his peak state.

Allowing the Qi and Blood throughout his body to flow with the boxing, tempering his entire body, the effect of improvement was nearly multiplied several times.

[Physique +2]

[Vitality Concentration: 17%]

He hadn't even broken through his limits.

After Li Changqing completed the boxing routine for the second time, the stimulation of his muscles and bones by the Qi and Blood throughout his body.

His Physique increased again, and a powerful warm current surged into his limbs and bones.

Each time was equivalent to Marrow Cleansing.

His skin became even more radiant, and the density and structure of his bones, under the scouring of Qi and Blood, gradually moved towards the non-human, and his muscle tissue became denser.

If Li Changqing had an electronic scale under his feet at this moment, it would definitely show that his weight had suddenly increased from 120 kilograms to 150 kilograms.

His physique was almost unchanged; what had changed was the density of his body.

Hoo—

The whistling wind blew through the neighborhood.

The fallen leaves on the ground were swept up by the gale caused by Li Changqing's martial arts practice.

Two meters, five meters... ten meters.

Li Changqing's hands formed Yin and Yang, and the strong wind was gripped tightly in his palms, unable to escape his grasp.

Leaves flew, covering a ten-meter radius around him.

Above and below, leaves moved with his fists.

The man in the wind seemed like an ancient land immortal.

Again and again.

Gradually, Li Changqing's movements began to change once more.

[Old Technique Tai Chi (Flowing Water True Meaning): 100%]

Born from Chengtian Tai Chi Fist, mixed with his Flowing Water True Meaning, it relied on the profound Tai Chi Yin-Yang fish in his mind.

Proficiency had once again reached perfection.

The wind blew ceaselessly with Li Changqing's thoughts, and the powerful Listening to Strength granted him the foundation to perceive all things.

What should he do next?

The improvement of the technique could be self-perfected through breakthroughs in proficiency.

But he needed to provide the direction.

Just like the first time, he needed to comprehend the Flowing Water True Meaning to achieve the transformation of the Old Technique Tai Chi.

The pitch-black night sky was covered with dark clouds.

Azure lightning tore through the night, illuminating the dark clearing.

Li Changqing controlled the gale with his fists, while the nearby buildings' lightning rods flickered.

Boom!

Thunder struck like a powerful serpent landing on the rooftop.

Lightning collided with metal, splashing brilliant golden light of thunder and fire.

Li Changqing's pupils were illuminated by the lightning.

In his mind, the final string snapped completely as the Tai Chi Yin-Yang fish rotated.

Heaven is extreme Yang, Earth is extreme Yin.

A person standing on the Earth is extreme Yin.

The so-called Yin-Yang harmony is precisely the Heaven-Man Resonance.

Tai Shang Gan Ying.

The Tai Chi Yin-Yang fish spun in Li Changqing's mind, and a subtle, profound knowledge poured out, a mere drop in the ocean.

To Li Changqing's heart, it was no less than a bolt from the blue.

Within the dark clouds, Yin and Yang surged, giving birth to lightning.

The rain poured down.

Yet Li Changqing continued to practice his martial arts between heaven and earth, his movements sometimes soft and yielding, sometimes hard and strong, yet transforming as naturally as flowers blooming and fading.

The torrential rain could not strike down the leaves dancing in the wind.

Finally, Li Changqing completed his martial arts practice.

He retracted his Tai Chi stance, raised his hands to his eyebrows, and slowly pressed them down.

Hoo—

He opened his mouth slightly, and thick white mist sprayed out rapidly, swirling into a dense fog above his head.

The falling raindrops were engulfed by the mist, unable to descend.

Exhaling like clouds.

The gale ceased its fury with his movements.

Where Li Changqing stood, rainwater was blocked by the mist, and all dust was cleared.

The leaves drifting in the air slowly descended, layer by layer, onto the ground.

Finally, around him, they formed a perfect Tai Chi Yin-Yang fish.

[Tai Chi (Heaven-Man Resonance): 10%]

The Old Technique Tai Chi had once again transformed today, aided by the Tai Shang Gan Ying Pian.

The breakthrough in his technique allowed Li Changqing to gain further enhancements in Agility and Willpower points.

[Agility +3]

[Willpower +2]

In an instant, the world seemed to slow down. The falling raindrops were clear and distinct in Li Changqing's eyes, and the direction of the wind's howl was also clearly understood.
