"<Basic Body Tempering Method>?" Qiao Zhiyao almost thought he heard it wrong, "Isn't that--didn't Martial Apprentice just practice it in the early stages? I have long--"

"Do you listen to me?" Xu Wuyi interrupted her, her eyes calm but with an invisible pressure.

Qiao Zhiyao opened his mouth, looked at Xu Wuyi's eyes that didn't mean the slightest bit of joking, and finally swallowed back the words.

She said angrily, "Okay, I'll listen to you!"

She stood up again and started the <Basic Body Tempering Method> stance.

This set of basic exercises Federation has been popularized for countless years. She had mastered them as early as when she first started practicing martial arts, and the movements were already familiar to her.

Soon, she practiced the nine moves smoothly.

The movements are still standard, even with a sense of inertial beauty formed by long-term practice.

"Stop." Xu Wuyi called her to stop.

"Is there any problem?" Qiao Zhiyao put away his movements, with a hint of imperceptible scorn in his tone.

She felt that the teaching method of "Newcomer King" seemed a bit mysterious?

Xu Wuyi walked up to her, shining brightly, and said in a deep voice, "Your movements are very standard, but you are just doing them."

He stretched out his hand and pointed: "The first pose, Qi-Blood Condensation", you only achieve the physical resemblance. The mind should sink accordingly, and feel Blood and Qi like mercury, pouring into the feet, and the "root sense" connected with the earth, rather than floating on the surface."

"The third pose, Muscle and Bone Stretching", your stretch flows in the limbs and has not penetrated deep into the fascia. Imagine that Blood and Qi is like warm water, flowing through every subtle fascial connection, nourishing and stretching it."

"Sixth Form----"

Xu Wuyi pointed out the problems in her practice one by one.

These problems are not that the movements are not standard, but the lack of inner meaning and Blood and Qi subtle control of the movements.

These are the deeper things he saw after he cultivated <Basic Body Tempering Method> to the "Dacheng" state and returned to his original state Return to Simplicity.

If Qiao Zhiyao had come a few months earlier, his <Basic Body Tempering Method> had not yet been completed, and I am afraid he would not have been able to teach her anything.

Qiao Zhiyao was a little disapproving at first, but as he listened, the scornful look on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by surprise and thought.

What Xu Wuyi pointed out, her famous teachers have never explained in such detail.

In other words, those strong people think that these things are too basic and not worth wasting time to study in depth.

It's just like when adults teach children how to add and subtract, they know what addition is, what subtraction is, and what techniques they use when adding and subtracting, but they don't teach why they are written like this.

"Now, follow my rhythm and do the first pose again." Xu Wuyi didn't allow her to think too much, and took up her stance herself.

His movements look simple and unpretentious, even a little less gorgeous than Qiao Zhiyao's "standard".

But Qiao Zhiyao keenly felt that when Xu Wuyi moved, Blood and Qi around him seemed to really calm down, creating an indescribable resonance with the earth under his feet.

She gathered her mind, imitated the rhythm and concentration of Xu Wuyi, and started again.

This practice lasted nearly two hours.

Xu Wuyi is extremely patient, constantly correcting her smallest deviations, from the grip of her toes, to the slight flow of Blood and Qi on her fingertips, to the perfect match between her breathing and movements.

Qiao Zhiyao Since I was a child, this is the first time that someone has "studied" basic movements like this. It feels like it is more energy-consuming than practicing advanced martial arts.

But the strange thing is that when she really calmed down and adjusted according to the guidance of Xu Wuyi, the already familiar Blood and Qi in her body seemed to have a different flow feeling than before.

"The time has come." Xu Wuyi stopped instructing.

Qiao Zhiyao When he came back from that immersive state, he realized that two hours had passed so quickly.

She panted slightly, sweat appeared on her forehead, and she felt mentally exhausted. This was the exhaustion caused by focusing on minute control.

"That's it for today." Xu Wuyi looked at her, his tone still calm, "The exercises in Battle Net only help you correct your movements and establish correct body memory. After returning to reality, you need to continue practicing, ensuring at least two hours a day, focusing on <Basic Body Tempering Method>."

He paused and emphasized. "Moreover, it is not just about practicing movements mechanically. You must really sink your mind, use your thoughts to guide, feel, and understand why each movement is designed in this way, and which part of your body is being exercised and how."

"This is the essence of <Basic Body Tempering Method>, and the reason why it is called the foundation of all Body Tempering Method."

Qiao Zhiyao looked at Xu Wuyi's serious eyes and nodded. "I----I understand, Teacher Xu, I will try."

Her mood at the moment was a bit complicated. She had doubts about this methodology, and she also had a trace of uncertain expectations because of the subtle novelty she felt during the practice just now.

The light flashed and Qiao Zhiyao's figure disappeared from the training ground.

Qiao Yongwen's figure appeared immediately with a warm smile on his face, "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Xu.

"It's not hard, Miss Qiao is very cooperative." Xu Wuyi shook his head.

"That's good. We will pay the remuneration to your account as soon as possible. If you want to continue, we will contact you based on Zhiyao's feedback."

Qiao Yongwen said politely, without expressing any opinions on Xu Wuyi's unique "basic teaching method".

"Okay." Xu Wuyi nodded.

His consciousness returned to reality, and Qiao Zhiyao opened his eyes from his own luxurious Cultivation Room equipped with top-level survival capsules and Spirit Energy Convergence Array.

She recalled the two hours of experience in Battle Net and the last words of Xu Wuyi.

After hesitating for a moment, she still stood up, and in the middle of the wide Cultivation Room, she opened her hand in the <Basic Body Tempering Method> stance0

She tried to recall the state guided by Xu Wuyi, and tried to sink her thoughts into the subtleties of her body to feel the flow of Blood and Qi.

However, there are differences between reality and the simulation of Battle Net.

In Battle Net, the body is a perfect digital simulation, and the perception is clear and direct.

In reality, although her body has been tempered by countless resources and is far stronger than ordinary people, her perception is limited by the physical body itself and has become much blurred.

She tried hard to practice according to the method taught by Xu Wuyi. After an hour, she stopped.

His brows were furrowed tightly.

She didn't have any special feelings other than the feeling that her body was moving.

There is no sense of fullness as Blood and Qi increases, no real sense of strength improvement, and no sign of loosening the bottleneck of <Hundred Refinements Furnace>.

The kind of subtle sense of control experienced in Battle Net can hardly be captured in reality.

"Is it really useless?" Qiao Zhiyao murmured in his heart, "It's just a coincidence, or maybe I feel wrong?

She persisted for another hour, but the result was still the same.

Blood and Qi has almost no growth, which is simply a waste of time for her who is used to efficient improvement.
