Great Freedom, Great Fortune!
Martial Academic Credits divided into two main categories: power techniques and techniques.
The fighting style of Ape Fist is different from both of them. It only involves the key points of the movements and the way muscles exert force, which can be learned by ordinary people. It is characterized by its wide and powerful movements.
The Principle of force is the method of circulating Qi and Blood. It is a deeper level of control and can only be used by Martial Artist have broken through to a certain level of Qi and Blood. It is a method of controlling the force and Qi and Blood of the whole body and turning it into one's own.
Once you've mastered it, every kick and punch will have even greater power.
With the support of Qi and Blood Energy Technique, the Ape Fist attack becomes even stronger, much like the internal energy used in martial arts.
Techniques and martial arts are another concept. They involve infusing Qi and Blood into weapons and fists to create explosive moves.
For example, specific moves such as the Mystic Ice Finger and the Cloud Dispelling Palm.
Liang Qu took the booklet from Hu Qi and quickly flipped through it. The booklet on Bow Strength Method was very thin, with only five or six pages. After learning so many characters over the past few days, he could read it without much difficulty.
Liang Qu quickly memorized the contents and tried to stimulate his Qi and Blood according to the methods in the book.
As the Qi and Blood circulated, a moment later there was indeed something different in the body, completely different from the feeling of the Skin Refining refining process. The Qi and Blood circulated continuously, as if bursting with energy.
Fifteen minutes later, the flow of Qi and Blood between the meridians became increasingly skillful.
Liang Qu felt as if this Bow Strength Method was tailor-made for him, his blood was surging and his power was generated by force.
He moved, using his Force Method to strike, his energy surging, his intention stirring, his power erupting, the wind whistling through his fists, all in one smooth motion.
Every punch and kick becomes more powerful!
So this is the true way Martial Artist fight!
In the blink of an eye, Liang Qu completely transformed, becoming majestic and awe-inspiring, like Divine Monkey descending to earth. He swung his arms long, his arms like bowstrings and his fists like arrows, his movements fierce and explosive.
Just as he was displaying his power and prestige, Hu Qi swiftly thrust his short stick forward, striking Liang Qu's chest like hitting a snake's vital spot.
His entire rhythm was disrupted, Liang Qu's strength vanished instantly, and a third of his Blood Qi and qi evaporated out of thin air.
He stood there dejectedly, like a monster whose true form had been revealed by a blow, forced out of its energetic state.
"Again!" Hu Qi said in a deep voice, "Only when your strength is continuous and uninterrupted can you be considered to have achieved some minor success!"
The most important aspect of the Force Method is maintaining rhythm. Beginners may seem to be able to use it skillfully, but in reality, they cannot use it in actual combat.
He would lose his strength and become exhausted after exchanging a few blows with someone. During regular practice, he needed someone to constantly "disturb" him so that he could develop the ability to circulate his energy as an instinct, thus preventing him from losing his strength.
This method is similar to the training method for playing style.
In other words, Hu Qi was simultaneously training Liang Qu's fighting style and Force Method.
To practice fighting, you have to get hit first. It's not about foolishly doing pain training. It's about finding ways to avoid injury and finding your own rhythm through getting hit.
Each time the flow of energy in Liang Qu's body was interrupted, a significant amount of his Blood Qi would dissipate. After only three or four interruptions, he would be completely depleted of his Qi and Blood, becoming like water without a source.
Liang Qu was panting heavily, feeling increasingly exhausted, but Hu Qi wouldn't let him rest. He threw down the short stick in his hand and assumed a fighting stance.
"Continue. If you can't practice the power techniques, you still have fighting techniques. You've learned to use the routines, so now you need to use them. Come on, attack me."
Liang Qu took a deep breath, roused himself, and rushed toward Hu Qi.
"That's stupid! Don't expose your chest. Maintain your distance from the enemy!"
"All fists, kicks, and weapons are extensions. Imagine yourself as a circle, find your center, and imagine me as a circle, find my center. Your Fist is a circle, and my strike is a circle. Every battle involves countless circles."
"You must maintain your center point to disrupt mine!"
"No, still no, your flaws are too big. You haven't even found your own center. Try again."
"Again!"
"Stand up and keep going!"
The Martial Arts School school apprentices had already left, either to go back to sleep or to go home.
Only Hu Qi and Liang Qu remained on the vast Martial Arts Field.
Liang Qu collapsed again and again, only to stand up again, panting.
Night fell, and all was quiet.
Liang Qu, shirtless, drew a heavy bucket of water from the well in the backyard and poured it over his head.
"Call!"
Liang Qu let out a long sigh, and wisps of white steam rose from his body, echoing the moonlight in the distance.
Beneath his weary body lay a joyful harvest; he could feel his progress, and his increasingly skillful playing style was irresistible.
Senior Brother Hu was experienced and learned theoretical guidance from Master Yang, so teaching him was a piece of cake. Liang Qu also benefited a lot and gained a very clear understanding of the so-called battle. Unfortunately, practice could not keep up with theory.
He still has a long way to go.
"Junior brother, all done!" Hu Qi walked out of the room and called out to Liang Qu, "After you finish your Medicinal Bath, go to sleep quickly, and we'll continue tomorrow morning."
"Yes."
"Well, if there's nothing else, I'll be going now. I live in the East Wing Room."
"Wait a minute, senior brother, I really do have something to tell you."
"Speak," Hu Qi said succinctly.
"When I was fighting the Mountain Ghost, I had a question: why do our skin look no different from that of ordinary people and feel very soft and smooth, yet it can actually withstand knife cuts? If it wanted such defense, shouldn't it be as thick and tough as cowhide?"
Hu Qi chuckled, "If that's really the case, wouldn't practicing martial arts just turn you into something neither human nor ghost? How unsightly would it be to have a thick layer of skin on your body? Junior Brother, haven't you read that book ' Yu Guan Xiu's Reflections on Life and Cultivation ' carefully yet?"
Liang Qu was embarrassed. "To be honest, Senior Brother, that's true."
"I guess so. Once the Skin Barrier is broken, there is no abnormality in the body, but the skin is like cowhide, tough and unbreakable, greatly increasing the defense. The fact that the skin is like cowhide is just a metaphor."
The essay "Yu Guan Xiu's Reflections on Life and Cultivation" clearly states that the essence of Martial Artist becoming stronger lies in the separation of "self" from "other," or in other words, the separation of "internal" from "external."
What the heck? Liang Qu was completely bewildered. He could understand each word individually, but how come he couldn't understand it when they were put together?
"Simply put, you broke through the Skin Barrier, which did increase the strength of your skin, but in addition to that, there is also an enhancement of your own 'essence' that you can't see."
"Book?"
"Everything external is the external essence, and everything within oneself is the internal essence. The two should interact with each other and evolve into countless possibilities. However, the path of Martial Artist is to strengthen one's own essence. The stronger one's own essence, the weaker the external essence becomes, ultimately transcending all things so that nothing can affect one."
Liang Qu believed his comprehension skills were quite good and he vaguely grasped the key points.
"So, Martial Artist's attack is the opposite of what is expected? To influence the external world from within oneself?"
"Junior brother is indeed clever," Hu Qi praised. "The path of Martial Artist is one of transcendence. Do what you want to do, resist what you want to resist. The stronger you are, the stronger you are in resisting external interference, to the point that time cannot touch you, and you can achieve immortality, leading to Great Freedom and great fortune."
Liang Qu was deeply shocked.
The path of martial arts in this world is probably even more powerful than that of cultivating immortality!
Depend on.
I thought blood control was some kind of amazing skill, but it turns out it's just a cleansing technique! It seems that even Water Control entering the body could lead to a loss of control?
