Four Martial Dao Realms, Yi Jin Jing Minor Accomplishment

After instructing He An.

He Ping shared some tender moments with his wife.

Under Wang Rou's reluctant gaze, he slowly disappeared around the street corner.

He Ping stood in the courtyard, not planning to rest. Following the incantations and movements from the [Yi Jin Jing], he struck a pose and began to try.

He took a deep breath, sinking his waist, bending his legs into a horse stance, knees and toes aligned. The muscles all over his body began to be mobilized.

At first, it was fine.

After a while, a sore feeling struck.

He felt as if his entire body was falling apart.

Crack, crack, crack.

A series of cracking sounds came from within his body.

"This guy really hasn't practiced at all!"

He An gritted his teeth, sweat pouring from his forehead like rain. While steadily performing the movements, he followed the Yi Jin Jing's incantations to mobilize the Qi and Blood within his body.

Before Entering the Ranks, there were four martial arts realms, also known as the basic four realms.

The four realms were interconnected.

All of them laid the foundation for Entering the Ranks.

Body Refining Realm.

Polishing the skin and muscles, shedding the mortal body, with a punch capable of breaking a thousand pounds.

Bone Forging Realm.

Tempering the bones, able to withstand blunt weapons without injury, and break iron bars with bare hands.

Muscle Condensing Realm.

Condensing the tendons and veins, ensuring the transmission of Qi and Blood, with a punch capable of breaking the air.

Blood Circulation Realm.

Internal circulation of Qi and Blood, strengthening the internal organs, laying the foundation for Entering the Ranks.

Even with poor innate talent, as long as one relied on their own efforts, they could still surpass the first three realms and reach the Blood Circulation Realm.

But if one wanted to Enter the Ranks...

That's difficult.

If there are ten martial artists in the Blood Circulation Realm, only one or two can truly enter the Ranks.

Time slowly passed in torment.

He An felt like his body was being burned by a branding iron. Every breath was extremely rapid, even carrying a faint smell of blood. His legs trembled like sieves.

Half an hour later.

A faint change occurred within He An's body.

His body, which had been trembling, could now stiffen.

He An wiped the sweat from his forehead and thought to himself, "I didn't expect the Yi Jin Jing to be so effective. I feel strength all over my body."

"With this kind of gradual accumulation, I'm 100% sure I can enter the Ranks."

He An did nothing else, just repeatedly performed the monotonous movements, but the effect was exceptionally good. His physical fitness far surpassed his previous self.

During this time.

He Ru came looking for him to play.

He declined them all.

He ignored everything outside and focused solely on learning martial arts.

"Hoo!"

After practicing another round, He An's entire body felt like it was falling apart. His limbs lay powerlessly on the ground.

He concentrated and looked.

The Golden Text in his mind slowly appeared.

[Destiny: Success comes naturally.]

[Yi Jin Jing: (5/200) Beginner.]

Every martial art.

Is divided into four levels: Beginner, Minor Accomplishment, Major Accomplishment, and Perfection.

"So tired."

"Learning martial arts is so hard!"

Looking at the gradually dimming sky, He An sighed.

After practicing for an entire afternoon, I only managed five repetitions. This pace is too slow.

But there's nothing I can do about it.

I just started trying, and I don't understand it deeply yet. Every movement requires thought before I can execute it.

What's more, sometimes I get so tired I can't move at all and can only stand still to rest.

After some time, once I'm familiar with it.

My practice speed will also increase.

After resting for a while.

He Ru trotted over.

"Uncle, are you tired? Do you want some water and a rest?"

He An sat up, took the water He Ru handed him, ruffled his little head, and smiled, "Ru'er, you're so good. Wait until Uncle finishes practicing martial arts, and I'll buy you candy, okay?"

"Okay!"

He Ru smiled and ran off, quickly returning with a large steamed bun.

"Uncle, eat this."

He An accepted it without refusal.

After practicing for these few hours, the food in his body had been completely digested, and his stomach kept protesting. If he didn't eat soon, he would faint.

Fortunately, it wasn't long before.

Wang Rou's dinner was ready.

After a hearty meal, He An returned to the courtyard and continued practicing.

The Mandate of Heaven states:

"Drip by drip accumulation, eventually reaching the vast ocean. The path of martial arts has no bottlenecks to worry about."

This means that if I want to break through bottlenecks, I still need to accumulate constantly. Only then can I reach the point of breaking through bottlenecks.

Again and again and again.

Until deep into the night.

He An's body was also undergoing subtle changes.

He threw a punch with all his might, feeling his fist filled with power, capable of killing a cow.

"Sleep!"

After finishing the last practice session, He An decisively rested.

[Destiny: When the water is ready, the pot will naturally be filled.]

[Yi Jin Jing: (9/200) Beginner.]

The next few days.

He An did almost nothing, just stayed in the courtyard, repeating the same movements over and over, his body reaching its limit again and again.

With experience, plus his body being several, even dozens of times stronger than before.

His speed grew faster and faster.

This continued for half a month.

After finishing the last practice session.

The Qi and Blood within He An's body erupted, crashing wildly through his meridians. Veins bulged all over his body, emitting crackling sounds.

"Hoo!"

"After practicing for half a month, I've finally broken through to Minor Accomplishment with the Yi Jin Jing. If I hadn't rested for two days in between, I probably would have broken through much earlier."

"I didn't expect my realm to break through as well."

"Could it be... that this Young Master is also a martial arts prodigy?"

He An found a discarded piece of iron. He focused his eyes and clenched his right hand heavily.

With just a light punch.

It carried an invincible momentum.

The piece of iron instantly bent, and even the ground beneath it was dented with a small pit.

"Not bad, not bad. Generally, martial artists who have just broken through to the Body Refining Realm have a punch force of around a thousand jin. But this punch of mine is several times stronger than that."

"The Yi Jin Jing truly lives up to its reputation."

[Destiny: When the water is ready, the pot will naturally be filled.]

[Yi Jin Jing: (1/300) Minor Accomplishment.]

"Uncle, are you done practicing your punches? Mother said dinner is ready?"

He Ru ran over cheerfully, not minding the stench on He An, and looked at him eagerly.

"Coming right now."

Upon hearing this, He Ru grinned.

He turned and ran off, shouting, "Mother, Uncle finished his fist training, can we eat now?"

For the past half month, meal times had been dictated by He An's fist training.

Until he finished, He Ru couldn't eat.

Because of this, He An had often told Wang Rou not to worry about him.

But she always refused, saying he needed to replenish his Qi and Blood immediately after training.

In fact, because of his training, they had meat on the dining table almost every two or three days. Even He An felt this lifestyle was somewhat extravagant.

After all, he knew the family's Silver Taels were almost depleted.

Spending so lavishly now must mean they were using their emergency savings.

Even so, Wang Rou didn't complain.

With such a sister-in-law, what more could one ask for in life!!

He An clenched his fist, his resolve to repay his eldest brother and sister-in-law growing stronger.

"Uncle, hurry up, we have meat today too."

"Coming!"

He An responded and strode towards the Hall.

"He An, how many rounds did you train today? Have you improved?" Wang Rou asked with a smile, serving him and He Ru meat.

"Yes!"

He An didn't want to hide anything from his family. "Eldest Sister-in-law, my Yi Jin Jing has reached Minor Accomplishment, and my realm has also broken through. I'm now a proper Martial Artist."

Wang Rou gasped.

Although she wasn't a Martial Artist, she understood what He An was saying.

After a long pause.

When she finally reacted, her face was filled with excitement.

"He An, you've truly given me and your Eldest Brother a surprise. When your Eldest Brother returns, he'll be even more excited and happy than I am."

He An chuckled, but a hint of worry welled up in his heart.

A full half-month.

Eldest Brother hasn't sent any news at all.

"Sigh."

"I hope nothing has happened!"

He An glanced at Eldest Sister-in-law without a change in expression.

He couldn't imagine what Eldest Sister-in-law would do if Eldest Brother met with an accident!!
