This...
The mysterious information that suddenly appeared in his mind caused Lin Yin's heart to churn.
Fate: Heaven rewards diligence!
Heaven rewards diligence, and one will surely achieve success. As long as one takes action, there will be rewards. No skill will have an aptitude threshold or bottleneck for him.
All sorts of complicated information, insights into the Vajra Stance, and the meanings behind obscure words flashed through Lin Yin's mind.
He subconsciously followed the standing posture described in the book, and his movements flowed like water.
This... this is simply unbelievable.
Looking at the key points of the movements on the book, which ordinary people couldn't achieve, he was able to strike a pose immediately. Lin Yin himself was stunned.
This cheat... no, his talent is simply made for practicing martial arts.
Before Lin Yin could feel happy, a strange sensation surged from within his body, like a warm current flowing from the sole of his foot straight up his spine.
Hmph...
He grunted, feeling as if all the muscles in his body suddenly tightened like ropes, as if they were struggling against each other. Even the tendons beneath his flesh and skin were twitching faintly, causing pain and numbness.
After a few breaths, Lin Yin was sweating profusely.
However, the strange feeling came and went as quickly as it arrived.
As if drained of all strength, Lin Yin collapsed to the ground with a "thump."
Dazed, he heard his mother, Madam Wang, cry out in alarm, along with the clattering sound of pots and pans colliding.
When Lin Yin woke up again, he saw Madam Wang bowing deeply to an old man, expressing her sincere gratitude.
"Madam Wang, your son is not seriously injured. He is just weak and frail. He needs to eat more nourishing food, preferably meat, to build himself up..."
"Thank you, Doctor Zhang, thank you!"
"Alas, there's no need to be so polite. When Brother Lin was alive, he often helped me gather herbs on the mountain. He was a good man... what a pity!"
As the doctor left, Lin Yin had already sat up on the bed.
"Yin'er..." Looking at his mother's worried face, Lin Yin spoke directly.
"Mother! Your son has no intention of continuing his studies."
"Not studying! How can you not study? Mother will find a way..."
"Mother!"
Madam Wang's words stopped abruptly. She stared at Lin Yin blankly. This was the first time she had seen such a determined look on her son's face.
Normally, her son was timid and indecisive in his dealings with others, but now...
Lin Yin stepped forward and gently patted his mother's shoulder. "Trust me, Mother. I will definitely make a good life for the two of us."
After comforting Madam Wang, Lin Yin gave a few simple instructions and then left the house.
The body cannot be over-nourished...
Thinking of the doctor's words and combining them with his understanding of the Vajra Stance, Lin Yin knew why his body was like this.
He was already frail, and to immediately master the Vajra Stance, even just by striking a simple pose, required a strength that his current body could not handle.
The Vajra Stake Technique was not the "kung fu" that Lin Yin had heard of in his previous life, which was praised by the world as mere flashy moves. This was a true internal strengthening technique that could condense Qi and Blood and make one as unmoving as steel.
For ordinary people, even with talent and good roots, it would still take two to three months of diligent practice to get started.
Those without talent and roots might even take years. But Lin Yin, after only a brief read, understood all the essentials and could even strike a pose. If this were to get out, it would be absolutely shocking.
"What I need to do now is to first recuperate my body, otherwise my Qi and Blood will definitely be depleted."
He decided to act immediately and went to the town market. He sold all the Four Treasures of the Study, brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones, earning nearly three hundred coins!
Poor scholars, rich martial artists...
Tsk, it's not easy for ordinary people to turn their lives around!
In his memory, the savings his original father had earned were mostly given to the school. Just thinking about it made Lin Yin's heart ache.
With money, he naturally had to buy meat. Lin Yin went to the butcher stall again and gritted his teeth, buying half a pound of meat for thirty coins.
When he returned home, it was already dusk. From a distance, Li Yin saw his mother, Madam Wang, sitting by the door, looking out expectantly.
Madam Wang wanted to say something about Li Yin selling his writing supplies but hesitated. In the end, she made a "sumptuous" dinner with a worried expression.
The aroma of the oil stimulated his taste buds. Lin Yin ate heartily, replenishing his energy while also urging his mother to eat. Madam Wang repeatedly refused, mostly dipping her rice in the oil and acting as if it were a delicious meal.
Seeing his mother's persistence, Lin Yin did not force it. He just sighed inwardly, wishing he could quickly realize all the benefits of mastering the stake technique. With strength, there would at least be more hope, and even...
Lin Yin thought of the Martial Arts School his father had worked so hard for.
After a satisfying meal, Madam Wang went to wash the dishes herself, while Lin Yin went out through the back door of the small house and began practicing on a spacious patch of grass.
The profound and mysterious Qi circulation of the Vajra Stake Technique was almost achieved in one go.
"Stand with feet apart, front foot's toes turned inward like a cone, rear heel's outer edge like a nail; front leg bent like a bow, rear leg straightened like a taut bowstring, toes gripping the ground like a tiger's claws digging into mud--"
He silently recited the incantation, his feet like nails. After completing a set of movements, that familiar twitching sensation in his muscles returned. However, unlike the previous weakness, which felt like water on a floating duckweed, this time Lin Yin only felt a warm current surging from his stomach towards his limbs.
This feeling was wondrous, like an inexplicable surge of strength had been born, bringing a unique warmth to Lin Yin amidst the cold frost of the night.
Miraculous!
Even though he had expected it, this distinct change still shook Lin Yin to his core.
He didn't stop practicing, seizing the lingering feeling of fullness, he continued without pause.
Soon, after practicing for more than ten rounds, Lin Yin only stopped when his muscles ached and his limbs grew weary.
Covered in sweat, he walked into his home and took a hot shower.
The second day, the third day... Morning, noon, and night.
Lin Yin didn't eat meat at every meal, but at least once a day, and he always practiced after eating.
The fifth night.
As Lin Yin slowly lowered his arms, which were beginning to take shape, a steaming heat surged from his body's surface, forming a faint mist around him.
[Heaven rewards diligence, and effort will surely yield results]
[Vajra Stake Technique - Novice (2/100)]
His sore and numb muscles instantly felt revitalized, and a powerful force erupted from the mysterious and profound Dantian.
He did it!
A glint of golden light seemed to flash in Lin Yin's eyes. Looking at his body now, there was no trace of the frail appearance from three days ago.
Utterly miraculous, beyond all reason!
The entire three hundred wen of meat had almost entirely entered his stomach.
In just five days, with the enhancement of the novice Vajra Stake Technique, Lin Yin felt as if he had undergone a complete transformation.
Following the information about his destiny in his mind, Lin Yin now knew that he had completely manifested the novice Vajra Stake Technique.
With every punch and kick, the strength cultivated through the Vajra Stake Technique had surpassed that of ordinary people.
