After the Yaoguang Hall and his group left, everyone's eyes in the Mingxin Martial Arts Hall were focused on Chen Mochuan O
Fortunately, everyone was relatively restrained, and no irrelevant people came forward to disturb him, so Chen Mochuan was content to relax.
When he was about to return to Martial Arts Arena with Li Biao to continue practicing and consolidate the gains from that battle, Personal Terminal shook slightly. He raised his wrist and saw that it was a message from Hong Yucheng.
"Mochuan, come to the top floor Martial Arts Room."
Only then did Chen Mochuan realize that Young Hall Master had quietly left the hall at some point. He briefly explained to Li Biao and went straight to the stairs.
As he climbed the stairs, his mind moved slightly and he summoned Golden Light Screen to check the harvest of this battle.
[You experienced a close and hard-fought battle and finally won. Your understanding of martial arts is deeper. At the same time, your energy and blood activity are stimulated, and your physical fitness improves.]
[Mountain-Collapsing Fist: Mastery(25%)→Mastery(38%)]
[Thunder-Striding Step: Great Completion(5%)→Great Completion(10%)]
[Tiger Roar Body-Forging Technique: Initiation(38%)→Initiation(44%)]
[Blood-Qi Value:9.27→9.29]
This evenly matched and exhausting duel was completely different from the usual instructional sparring by Lin Hong and others who suppressed their strength. It was like a whetstone, which greatly accelerated the digestion of the martial arts insights accumulated in his mind, and also allowed him to quickly integrate the accumulation of daily hard training. The effect was worth the past few days of closed door hard training.
More importantly, in the confrontation with Neutralizing Force, an opponent of the same level as Ding Muzhi, his application and understanding of the transition between hardness and softness and the penetration of strength have quietly reached a new level.
When Chen Mochuan arrived at the quiet Martial Arts Room on the top floor, he saw Hong Yucheng already standing quietly in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with his hands behind his hands, overlooking the street view downstairs, obviously waiting for him.
Hearing the footsteps, Hong Yucheng turned around, his eyes fell calmly on Chen Mochuan, and asked straight to the point, "Mo Chuan, today's competition, there is one Tenth Rank Martial Warrior among the core members, but I single-handedly chose you to fight against that Ding Muzhi. Do you know why?"
"Because I am stronger." Chen Mochuan answered without any hesitation, his eyes were clear and determined.
"Not bad." Hong Yucheng nodded slightly, admiring the calmness and confidence of the young man in front of him, "Although he has higher energy and blood than you, Acupoint is also more condensed, which can be said about martial arts skills. Your purity, control over changes in power, and adaptability and resilience in battle are all slightly inferior to you - but these are not the main factors that determine strength. The most critical thing is your Mental Power."
He stared at Chen Mochuan with a burning gaze, "If my perception is correct, your Mental Power strength should have far exceeded the ordinary Martial Warrior, and even touched some kind of ---- boundary?"
"My Mental Power did hit an invisible barrier." Regarding Hong Yucheng, Chen Mochuan did not choose to hide it, and said frankly, "I have also tried to attack it, but found that this barrier is "extremely tough and difficult to break through."
Even though he had already made a judgment in his mind, upon hearing Chen Mochuan's affirmative answer, Hong Yucheng still had a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Sure enough----
If he hadn't suffered serious internal injuries while hunting that Earth-Splitting Bear, and had to keep Mental Power in his body at all times to warm his organs and suppress the injuries, he wouldn't have noticed Chen Mochuan's mental strength that was different from ordinary people until today, when he briefly released Mental Power to frighten He Zhizhou.
Perhaps the young man in front of him is limited by his vision and does not fully understand what it means to have such a strong Mental Power at the Martial Warrior stage. But since he has noticed it, he cannot let him fumble blindly.
"The physical body's energy and blood are the foundation of martial arts, and Mental Power is the helmsman who controls this power." Hong Yucheng said solemnly, "The stronger Mental Power is, the more accurate and efficient his understanding of martial arts and the control of his strength will be. Similarly, the control and coordination of his own energy and blood, muscles, and even every bit of strength will also increase."
Chen Mochuan is deeply touched by this. Since taking Spirit-Nourishing Pill and Mental Power has increased sharply, his martial arts practice has become smoother and smoother.
Hong Yucheng continued, "However, Mental Power is different from Qi, blood, sinews and bones, which are intangible and substanceless, mysterious and mysterious.
Especially in the Martial Warrior stage, there is a lack of effective measurement methods, and it is even more difficult to directly improve through systematic exercises."
"Generally speaking, if Martial Warrior wants to strengthen his spirit, there are no more than three ways."
"First, borrow nourishment from external substances. From basic elixirs such as Spirit-Nourishing Pill" circulating in the market, to the more precious Spirit-Nurturing Pill", and even some heavenly materials and earthly treasures that directly nourish the spirit, such as Soul-Calming Purple Jade", Spirit-Condensing Vermilion Fruit", etc. However, the effect of drugs that can effectively improve Mental Power is often not very significant and expensive; and the treasures of nature, materials and earth are hard to come by, and they are priceless but not marketable."
Chen Mochuan was secretly dumbfounded. Spirit-Nourishing Pill worth hundreds of thousands of Blue Star Coin, was actually just "basic" in Hong Yucheng's mouth? He had never heard of the latter two kinds of treasures that were extraordinary just by the sound of their names.
"Second, temper yourself to the limit. By constantly challenging your own limits, enduring tremendous pressure, and even tempering your will under the huge stimulation of life and death, thereby promoting the transformation and growth of Mental Power. The effect of this method may be significant, but the risk is extremely high. The self-protection ability of Martial Warrior is limited, so very few people choose this path."
Hearing this, Chen Mochuan's heart moved and he thought of his "Mind Martial Drill".
In that extremely real life-and-death struggle, isn't the strong mental impact brought about by each "death" the most extreme tempering of will? This may be an important reason why Mental Power is so extraordinary.
"The third and most common and fundamental method is to nourish the mind with Qi and blood. As the saying goes, if the essence is sufficient, the Qi will be strong, and if the Qi is strong, the spirit will be complete." The body is the carrier of the spirit. The stronger the Qi and blood, the stronger the body, and the stronger the Mental Power naturally cultivated. This is the fundamental way for most Martial Warrior to improve Mental Power. It comes naturally and steadily."
At this point, Hong Yucheng paused for a moment and looked at Chen Mochuan with deep meaning in his eyes.
"Throughout the journey of martial arts, before breaking through the limits of the human body and advancing to the Inner Scene Realm realm, the growth rate of Mental Power practitioners often lags behind the progress of the Qi, blood and physical body. This is almost a universal rule."
"This phenomenon is particularly prominent in the Martial Warrior stage. Even Five Orifices Fully Opened, Tenth Rank and Martial Warrior that have reached the limit of vitality and blood, their Mental Power is usually far from touching the Mental Barrier that marks the "threshold of Mortal Shedding"."
"Only when the physical body steps into the Mortal Shedding realm, after the initial jump in life level, and through a more powerful physical body to feed back and nourish the spirit for a period of time, can it be possible to reach this level."
