Dynamic Stance

"Junior Brother Jiang, are you really just ordinary-grade bone structure?"

After Sun Wu withdrew his hand, he looked at Jiang Chen and couldn't help asking.

If it were based on his performance half a year ago, Jiang Chen's bone structure was undeniably mediocre.

But judging from these past few days, Jiang Chen was already stronger than the average medium-grade bone structure.

Let alone ordinary-grade—even medium-grade bone structure would struggle to go from initially condensing Qi and blood to reaching the First Qi and Blood Gate's perfection in just a few days.

"Before I joined the Martial Arts Hall, my clan tested me. My bone structure is very ordinary."

Jiang Chen said.

If he weren't ordinary-grade but medium-grade, he probably would have awakened his Primordial Energy on the very day he regained consciousness.

As he'd said before, the reason he could cultivate at this speed was all thanks to the Myriad Dao Chart.

Whether it was the boost in comprehension or the Eternal Realm, both were cheats among cheats.

"Let me take a look."

Sun Wu didn't quite believe it. He stepped forward to feel Jiang Chen's bones.

He had no choice.

Given the cultivation speed Jiang Chen had displayed, it simply didn't look like ordinary-grade bone structure.

Besides, he also wanted to check Jiang Chen's body for any signs of banned drugs.

If he'd only achieved this speed by taking forbidden pills, then Jiang Chen wasn't worth training.

"What a pity."

After a thorough examination, Sun Wu shook his head regretfully.

Jiang Chen truly had the most ordinary bone structure.

If he had medium-grade bone structure, combined with his extraordinary comprehension, he might have been able to catch this year's Martial Exam and soar to greatness!

This year's Martial Exam was different from previous years—it was a chance to change one's fate.

Still, at least there was no sign that Jiang Chen had taken banned drugs. He was completely worth training.

"Since you've reached perfection in the First Qi and Blood Gate, it's time to train in the Dynamic Stance."

With that, Sun Wu led Jiang Chen to an open space.

Cultivation in the First Qi and Blood Gate involved using the Static Stance to awaken the hidden Primordial Energy within the body.

In the Second Qi and Blood Gate, one used the Dynamic Stance to refine the five viscera with martial Qi and blood, extracting their essence.

Once the essence of the five viscera merged with martial Qi and blood, the power of Qi and blood would undergo a transformation.

Simply put.

The First Qi and Blood Gate awakened the hidden Primordial Energy within the body.

The Second Qi and Blood Gate extracted the essence energy from the five viscera.

The two shared a similar principle.

"This White Ape Fist is our Martial Arts Hall's Dynamic Stance!"

Sun Wu assumed a stance and then began demonstrating a set of boxing techniques.

As his figure shifted, a low, muffled wind followed his punches.

At first glance, it looked like an ape dancing.

To help Jiang Chen memorize the moves, Sun Wu deliberately slowed down. Even so, his movements were smooth and fluid, appearing quite graceful.

"There are twenty-eight moves in total!"

Jiang Chen stared intently, carefully memorizing Sun Wu's movements.

With his past life experience, remembering a simple boxing technique was no challenge.

Dong!

As soon as he had all the moves down, the Myriad Dao Chart burst into brilliant light.

Technique: White Ape Fist · Not Yet Started 0%

The Myriad Dao Chart displayed the information for the White Ape Fist.

Following that, a shadowy figure appeared and began performing the White Ape Fist, its cultivation insights continuously merging into Jiang Chen's Soul Sea.

"Let me give it a try."

With the fist technique insights fused into him, Jiang Chen didn't hesitate. He started practicing.

The first time, his movements were quite clumsy—merely a poor imitation.

But by the second time, he was already looking decent.

White Ape Fist Experience +1

About five minutes later, the familiar experience text appeared.

Technique: White Ape Fist · Uninitiated 1%

The progress of White Ape Fist began to climb.

"This speed is dozens of times slower than White Ape Stance."

When training White Ape Stance, he could gain 1 point of experience in under ten breaths. Now, White Ape Fist took a full five minutes to gain just 1 point.

From this, the gap between the two was clear.

"Just a few viewings, and Junior Brother Jiang has memorized it all?!"

Watching Jiang Chen's fist techniques grow increasingly fluid, Sun Wu's amazement deepened.

Though Jiang Chen's bone quality was indeed ordinary, his comprehension was utterly astonishing.

With proper nurturing, his future achievements would be far from low.

"Martial Blood Qi flows with the techniques, seeping into the five viscera from shallow to deep..."

While merging the insights of the fist technique, Jiang Chen split his focus.

Under his inner vision, he could clearly see the scorching, boiling Martial Blood Qi penetrating his five viscera.

The viscera were tempered, faintly radiating a burning sensation, as if seared by raging flames.

Gurgle.

Unknowingly, half an hour passed.

The sky had grown dim.

Jiang Chen, still executing the fist techniques, heard his stomach rumble.

"Junior Brother Jiang, let's stop here for today."

Seeing this, Sun Wu called out to halt him.

Training in Dynamic Stance consumed vast amounts of stamina and Blood Qi.

If one pushed on with depleted stamina, it would damage the body.

Technique: White Ape Stance · Uninitiated 6%

Sweating from exertion, Jiang Chen slowly withdrew his fists and straightened his posture.

On the Myriad Dao Chart, the progress of White Ape Fist appeared.

A 1% increase every five minutes meant only 12% per hour.

Moreover, training White Ape Fist heavily drained stamina, unlike standing stance, which allowed for sixteen hours of daily practice.

This would drastically slow his training speed, making a breakthrough in mere days impossible.

"It'll take at least four or five days to perfect White Ape Stance."

Jiang Chen calculated silently.

Even with the Myriad Dao Chart's aid, his training speed would drop significantly.

Of course, this pace was still astonishing.

Perfecting Dynamic Stance in four or five days was enough to dominate the entire Martial Arts Hall.

"Junior Brother Jiang, when your stamina runs out, you can restore Blood Qi through Static Stance."

Sun Wu reminded him.

Besides awakening Primordial Energy, Static Stance served to nurture and restore Blood Qi.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Sun."

After expressing his thanks, Jiang Chen left the Inner Courtyard and headed to the Outer Courtyard canteen.

"I need to report Junior Brother Jiang's situation to Master."

Watching Jiang Chen depart, Sun Wu proceeded to the core small courtyard of the Inner Courtyard.

When an outstanding seedling emerged in the Outer Courtyard, it had to be reported to the hall master.

That was the Martial Arts Hall's rule.

"Senior Brother Sun."

Just as he reached the small courtyard, a graceful figure stepped out.

The newcomer, with twin ponytails and an emerald-blue long dress, was none other than Zhou Yuqing.

"Junior Sister Zhou, is Master in?"

Sun Wu asked.

"My father returned to the clan this morning and likely won't be back at the hall today. Senior Brother Sun, is something important?"

Zhou Yuqing inquired.

"Not particularly urgent, but it's about Junior Brother Jiang..."

Sun Wu recounted Jiang Chen's matter.

"An ordinary bone structure, reaching the First Qi and Blood Gate perfection in just a few days?"

After hearing this, Zhou Yuqing blinked, unsure what to say.

"Senior Brother Sun, do you think something like this is possible?"

If she hadn't known Sun Wu's character well, she would have suspected he'd taken some benefit from the Jiang Clan.

"Junior Brother Jiang has extraordinary comprehension. It's not impossible."

Had he not seen it with his own eyes, Sun Wu naturally wouldn't have believed it either.

"No matter how strong his comprehension, with an ordinary bone structure's talent, he couldn't possibly cultivate this fast. In my view, there are only two possibilities for this."

Zhou Yuqing, however, refused to believe it at all.

"What two possibilities?"

Sun Wu asked.

"Either he had already condensed his Qi and Blood long ago and simply never revealed it before, or he used some special secret medicine to forcibly stimulate his Primordial Energy."

Zhou Yuqing said with great certainty.

Otherwise, with an ordinary bone structure's talent, it was absolutely impossible to go from initially condensing Qi and Blood to the First Qi and Blood Gate perfection in just a few days.

"Senior Brother Sun, if you don't believe me, we can observe for a few more days."

Seeing that Sun Wu didn't quite agree with her speculation, Zhou Yuqing smiled confidently.

"Fine, let's wait and see."

Seeing Zhou Yuqing's expression, Sun Wu said no more.

Facts speak louder than words.

Once Jiang Chen swiftly stepped into the Three Qi and Blood Gates, all doubts would shatter.
