[Striving for Superior Martial Arts, Strolling Around the Dock]

The next day, Lin Ze got up early.

And began his morning practice.

In the wide and quiet small courtyard, Lin Ze's figure moved and shifted.

The blood and Qi throughout his body boiled with the waving of his fists and feet, and the Inner Breath between his meridians and acupoints also flowed rapidly throughout his body with his breathing, and there was a surging sense of power in every move he made.

Today's morning practice was different from usual.

In the past, after practicing boxing for a period of time, he would feel physical exhaustion and fatigue.

But today, the more Lin Ze practiced, the more comfortable he felt, as if he had endless energy in his body.

As time passed, Lin Ze could clearly feel the Inner Breath in his body gathering more and more.

If the previous Inner Breath was compared to a small spring, at this moment it had formed a stream.

The stream flowed through Lin Ze's Twelve Principal Meridians with his breathing, passed through the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, and finally returned to the Dantian Qi Sea, thus completing a full Great Zhou Heavenly Cycle.

From then on, this set of Crane Step Tiger Form Fist that Lin Ze had practiced for more than two years had officially reached the realm of perfection from a slightly accomplished level.

"So this is Meridian Opening?"

Lin Ze stood in place, experiencing the changes in his body.

In the martial arts system of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the first step of martial arts cultivation is called Strengthening the Foundation and Nourishing the Origin.

That is, to lay the foundation for martial arts through regular exercise and the warming and nourishing of food and medicine.

Then comes the formal martial arts practice. Although the methods of each sect are different, they can be summarized as tempering the body, strengthening the blood and Qi, generating Qi sensation, and condensing Inner Breath, officially stepping into the threshold of profound martial arts.

Then, use Inner Breath to travel throughout the body, nourish the meridians of the whole body, develop the body's potential, and improve combat power.

Martial artists who have not cultivated Inner Breath and only know some superficial skills are called non-influential. Martial artists who possess Inner Breath must have strong blood and Qi and be proficient in their moves, possessing the ability to fight against many opponents. In the Martial World, they can be considered third-rate at least.

And Inner Breath has a certain scale, which can support traveling throughout the body, nourishing and connecting the Great Zhou Heavenly Cycle meridians. This can be considered second-rate at least.

Lin Ze began to use the Main World's scientific body tempering method to maintain his health and exercise at the age of twelve, and developed a good physique, which can be regarded as a process of Strengthening the Foundation and Nourishing the Origin.

After that, he practiced Crane Step Tiger Form Fist for two and a half years. While his moves were skilled and his physique was strong, he gradually developed Inner Breath.

Now, after a period of accumulation, it is not surprising that he has reached the Meridian Opening realm.

"I can eat more tonics in the next period of time."

Lin Ze realized the changes in his body and made such a decision in his heart.

The Inner Breath runs through his whole body, which does not directly improve his combat power much, but it greatly develops his body's potential. In the next period of time, his body will enter a period of rapid growth, constantly absorbing nutrients to strengthen itself.

At this time, it is very suitable to eat more tonics.

"In addition to this, I must find a high-grade martial art."

"Although I don't have enough money to impress those Great Sects of the Martial World that possess superior martial arts for the time being, at least before that, I must first figure out the direction of my efforts."

Walking out of the martial arts courtyard, letting several maids meticulously help him wipe away his sweat, Lin Ze thought in his heart.

According to Lin Ze's understanding of the martial arts system of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Before Meridian Opening, whether or not one has access to high-grade martial arts does have some influence, but not that much.

After all, even if you have unparalleled divine skills, you still have to honestly start from Strengthening the Foundation and Nourishing the Origin, cultivating Inner Breath to connect all the meridians in your body.

However, after Meridian Opening, the accumulated amount of Inner Breath is enough to support a martial artist in practicing some more difficult internal cultivation methods, more quickly refining essence into Qi and accumulating Inner Breath.

You use a set of second or third-rate fist techniques with their own crude breathing methods to accumulate power, while others use superior cultivation methods to accumulate power.

Even if you are exceptionally talented and one day is equivalent to two or three days of practice for ordinary people, others use superior cultivation methods, and one day is equivalent to five or six days or even ten days of practice for ordinary people.

In the early stages, you may not see much difference, but over time, the difference in power accumulation between the two sides will be as vast as the heavens.

With the use of many Main World hot weapons, Lin Ze does not pursue reaching the pinnacle of martial arts.

However, he also knows that martial power is his ability to secure his life.

The reason he was respected as an honored guest by the local officials and powerful figures as soon as he entered Fengping County was not because of the combat power he displayed to the outside world, which could be considered that of a first-rate expert?

He may not reach the pinnacle of martial arts, but he must ensure that he has the reaction speed to react and strike back in the first moment if he is ambushed by a real expert.

Therefore, practicing superior martial arts is a very necessary thing.

After washing up and changing into a clean set of clothes,

Lin Ze felt his appetite was wide open.

First, he slurped down two large bowls of mutton noodles, then ate two pounds of mutton with cucumbers, and a dozen large meat buns.

After eating so much, he didn't feel full at all, and the food was quickly digested as soon as it entered his stomach.

Finally, he drank a large glass of honey water, and only then did he feel satisfied.

He could clearly feel that as the food was digested, his body was warm with the flow of Qi and blood, and his whole body was filled with a sense of power.

This was a manifestation of his physical potential being developed after reaching the Meridian Opening level, constantly absorbing food to increase his body's essence, Qi, and spirit.

"There's nothing particularly important to do today, and I'm just thinking about finding a way to obtain superior martial arts, so I'll go to the dock and take a look."

After eating, Lin Ze met with the 'Wang Po' who wanted to be a matchmaker.

From her mouth, he learned that the object of her matchmaking was indeed the daughter of the County Magistrate's family.

After agreeing, the matchmaker went to report to Madam Li of the County Magistrate's family, and at the same time helped Lin Ze prepare all kinds of auspicious gifts needed for the marriage proposal, waiting for tomorrow to be ready, Lin Ze could take these gifts to the County Magistrate's house to propose marriage.

The Coal Mine was in the early stages of construction, and there were no emergencies, so he could go back in three days to check the results, and Lin Ze had nothing to do for the time being.

Therefore, Lin Ze planned to study how to obtain superior martial arts.

The reason he didn't try to find a way in the city was because this Fengping County town had no secrets to Lin Ze at all.

The most exquisite martial arts inheritance in the city was the Crane Step Tiger Form Fist that Lin Ze was currently practicing.

In the past, in order to understand the social situation of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he had even heard about which wealthy family's wife was having an affair with someone through drone photography.

In this case, if Lin Ze wanted to obtain superior martial arts, he could only go to the dock and take a look.

The dock outside the west gate of Fengping County often had ships coming and going from various places, and there were many martial artists from Great Sects of the Martial World passing by.

If he could get to know one or two disciples from the Great Sects of the Martial World or Martial Arts Holy Land, then with this connection as an introduction, perhaps he would have a way to learn superior martial arts.
