Five Elements Guidance Technique

Having just completed a high-intensity training session, Yang Yu was preparing to relax appropriately.

When it came to training, maintaining a proper balance between exertion and rest was the most sensible approach.

"According to the latest news, the Double R Virus has now been effectively brought under temporary control worldwide. Basically all humans and living creatures have been infected with the virus, and its mutations are also nearing their end. Some experts predict that, within a month at the latest, humanity will be able to defeat the virus completely!"

"Now for the latest updates from other countries."

Watching the report on television, Yang Yu and Grandpa Yang both fell silent.

The news reports might have sounded optimistic, but the situation in their residential compound was right before their eyes. People were carried out every day, and every day, some failed to pull through.

One could only imagine what conditions were like elsewhere.

However, the news had not been wrong about one thing. The Double R Virus's mutations truly were nearing their end, and thanks to Huaxia's powerful official organization and execution capabilities—

Society as a whole was still functioning well.

Some people confirmed to have recovered could, after examination, join the ranks of volunteers and contribute to society alongside everyone else.

This had also allowed Huaxia's overall situation to be effectively controlled.

In contrast, countries such as Bangzi Country and India in Asia, America in the Americas, and Great Britain in Europe had already descended into utter chaos.

The inaction of those at the top and the eruption of those at the bottom—

Instantly ignited enormous social conflicts.

Recovered people began smashing things everywhere, freely taking revenge on those with whom they had past grudges.

With public security paralyzed, these recovered members of society's lower class, having survived the Double R Virus, were delighted to discover that their bodies seemed to be getting stronger and stronger.

They could easily lift heavy objects they had once been unable to raise. Looking at the wealthy and so-called upper-class people of the past, malicious thoughts began to take root in their hearts.

Thus, even greater chaos emerged.

Watching these lively international reports—

Yang Yu did not feel much about them.

As long as the Double R Virus passed, those countries would not need much time to stabilize their societies again.

The only difference was that some unlucky wealthy people had gone to hell.

After all, even if these ordinary people's Physical Fitness had improved drastically, they still could not withstand firearms.

Unless they were like Yang Yu, possessing considerable Martial Way Insight and a powerful physique even before this.

Having survived it, their Physical Fitness would naturally become even stronger.

Yang Yu was no longer afraid of small-caliber pistols.

He could also respond in advance to firearms with tremendous destructive power.

But there were simply too few people like that.

Those with such strength would not be stupid enough to expose themselves ahead of time.

Everyone understood the importance of self-preservation.

Otherwise, they could not have trained to this level.

After all, practicing martial arts required brains as well.

If one was not intelligent, one would basically achieve nothing in the Martial Way either.

"Fortunately, our country is strong, and our people are united," Grandpa Yang said sincerely as he watched the scenes of chaos abroad.

"Yeah. Only in situations like this can you truly see whether a country is responsible and capable," Yang Yu agreed. "There may be some minor problems during implementation, but there's no denying that Huaxia Country is truly the country in this world that cares most for its ordinary people."

These past few days, fresh vegetables had been delivered to their home every day. If they needed medicine, they only had to request it in advance, and it would be delivered the next day.

Looking across the entire world, only Huaxia could accomplish this.

That was why Yang Yu felt such a strong sense of identification and belonging toward Huaxia.

Especially after absorbing the Original Work body's memories and emotions, he had inherited that feeling of devotion to home and country as well.

Seeing Tribe Members of the same roots and origins striving to resist this natural disaster—

Yang Yu's heart felt warm.

Being born in such a country was indeed an incomparably fortunate thing.

When the Grand Nirvana officially arrived eight months later, Yang Yu would presumably have awakened his Spiritual Force by then, and his strength as a Martial Artist would undergo a tremendous increase.

When that time came, Yang Yu definitely would not stand by and watch his compatriots suffer the ravages of monsters.

A man.

A Martial Artist.

If he had no people or country worth protecting—

Then what use was immense martial strength alone?

After all, this was his root!

And although Yang Yu's Physical Fitness had improved greatly—

His actual combat skills were falling a little behind.

After all, he had no suitable Opponent!

No matter how hard he trained alone, it could never compare to fighting powerful monsters to the death in terms of improvement.

Yang Yu was naturally willing to do something that could temper his Martial Way, protect his relatives and Friends, and save his compatriots.

As his Physical Fitness accelerated upward, Yang Yu could clearly feel that he still had many areas in which he needed to improve.

Updating and upgrading his weapons was also a problem.

In the Original Work, Kro Alloy, capable of battling King-level Monsters, did not appear until much later.

Before that, humanity's most reliable weapons were their own fists!

As well as all kinds of materials taken from monsters!

So the earliest battles were bound to be incomparably perilous.

Once they endured that initial period, the weapon problem would improve significantly.

Yang Yu did not know how long the War Blade and Gauntlets he had spent a fortune forging would last.

After watching the news, Yang Yu did not immediately return to his bedroom.

Instead, he began teaching Grandpa Yang some simple Fist Techniques.

After all, even if he awakened his Spiritual Force, in the world where monsters would fill the skies over the coming years, it would be difficult for Yang Yu to remain by his grandfather's side at all times.

This meant Grandpa Yang himself needed to possess a certain degree of strength.

Seeing that his good grandson wanted to teach him Fist Techniques—

Grandpa Yang, who had been bored at home, readily agreed.

He had practiced Taiji before—

But it had mainly been for health preservation.

Grandpa Yang had never seriously practiced this kind of Fist Technique, which was clearly meant for actual combat.

However, considering that the current situation was indeed far from optimistic, Grandpa Yang began learning seriously as well.

And so—

During the day, Yang Yu absorbed and refined Cosmic Energy while experimenting with and creating various Guide Techniques.

After dinner, he taught his grandfather the Five Element Fist.

Then he quietly waited for the Double R Virus crisis to end.

Another month passed.

On this day, the news finally announced that the Double R Virus had passed.

Or perhaps it had not passed at all; rather, those who survived had developed antibodies, and the Double R Virus no longer posed a threat.

But no one cared about that anymore.

Most people had been cooped up at home for two or three months and had long since reached their limit.

Now, under the country's guidance, society began slowly recovering.

The enormous machinery of society also began operating again.

Huaxia's powerful organizational capabilities were displayed once more.

In just one week—

The whole of society had basically resumed normal operations, and various forms of production began one after another.

And at this time—

After constant experimentation, Yang Yu finally created the most effective Guide Technique so far!

It was a Guide Technique born from the Taoist Breathing Technique, the Neijiaquan Breathing Technique, and various martial arts theories.

Yang Yu named it the Five Elements Guidance Technique.

Combined with the Five Hearts Toward Heaven Method, Yang Yu's speed of absorbing Cosmic Energy surged dozens of times over!

From then on—

Yang Yu's body once again began improving at high speed!

Now that order had returned to normal, Yang Yu also learned from his phone that martial arts schools had reopened.

Thus, Yang Yu planned to go to the martial arts school tomorrow to test his current physical strength!
