On the third day of the conference, the flow of people in the exchange and trading area gradually thinned out, but the open space in front of the podium became increasingly crowded day by day.
According to the schedule, starting from this day, three Meridian Opening Realm monks will teach their respective experiences in practicing the Body Refining department for three consecutive days.
Regardless of whether it is an Body Refining monk or a Rogue Cultivator among the sects, it is a rare fortuitous opportunity to be able to hear the preaching of the Meridian Opening Realm physical training. In the past few times, some people were even accepted as True Disciple by the Meridian Opening Realm monks on the spot.
In the early morning, Qin Tiexin arrived at the square half an hour early. There were already many people sitting in the open space in front of the podium. At a rough look, there were about four to five hundred people, which was a little less than the day of the opening ceremony. Some people were still setting up stalls in the trading area, and some followed Ice and Snow Pavilion's patrol team out to familiarize themselves with the environment. Most of those who stayed to listen to the lectures were those who really wanted to seek breakthroughs along the way with Body Refining.
Qin Tiexin sat down in the front row, and the seats around him were soon filled with people.
As the daylight grew brighter, True Person Iron Fist was the first to step onto the podium.
He was still wearing only a leather skirt, exposing his bronzed upper body. His bald head reflected the morning light. He walked steadily to the center of the podium, his eyes swept across the audience, and without any preamble, he just said, "Strength is the duty of Body Refining monks." The voices in the audience became quiet.
He started from the Body Refining Realm, breaking down the power distribution at each level and talking about it. He compared power to the roots of a tree - the deeper the roots are, the higher the trunk can grow.
"Before Body Tempering Third Layer, the muscles were trained on the skin; on the fourth to sixth levels, the muscles and bones were trained; after the seventh level, the essence of strength began to be truly touched." True Person Iron Fist stretched out his right fist and slowly clenched it, and the muscles on his arm bulged like rocks, "Many people arrived at Body Tempering started to rush to break through the Qi and Blood Realm at the seventh or eighth level, thinking that as long as the level goes up, the power will naturally keep up. This is wrong. The foundation is not strong. After breaking through the Qi and Blood Realm, the power transformation will be bottlenecked. When the time comes, it will take three times more effort to make up for it than it does now."
Qin Tiexin was sitting in the audience and subconsciously clenched his fists when he heard this. Every step of his Body Tempering Ninth Layer Peak was very solid, but True Person Iron Fist's words made him realize that the so-called "solid" may have a higher standard.
"Body Tempering Peak's normal strength is about 10,000 kilograms, which is the limit of most people. But I know some people have reached 15,000 kilograms or even 20,000 kilograms at this level." True Person Iron Fist held out two fingers. "This is not a gap between Cultivation Method, but a fundamental gap. Body Refining Realm When the foundation of each layer is not firmly laid, it is easy to get stuck in the transformation of power after breaking through the Qi and Blood Realm. Many people are stuck in Body Tempering Peak for many years and cannot break through the Qi and Blood Realm. It is often not because of insufficient resources, but because the foundation is not solid enough, causing the meridians to be unable to withstand the impact when Qi and Blood is transformed."
There was a low discussion in the audience. Qin Tiexin's eyes narrowed slightly.
True Person Iron Fist did not dwell on this topic for long, and quickly moved on to the Qi and Blood Realm. He said that Body Refining Realm is laying the foundation, and Qi and Blood Realm is the real start of building the house - starting from the Qi and Blood Realm, strength-based physical training can transform power into Qi Gang. Qi Gang is attached to fists, feet or weapons, and its destructive power is far beyond pure strength.
"When it comes to the Meridian Opening Realm, the power type can truly enter the palace. Qi Gang can be unleashed, and his physical body can't be defeated by Law Treasure. With one punch, the body-protecting aura of monk Golden Core of the same level cannot be blocked."
He did not go into details. After all, most of the people in the audience were still wandering around the Body Refining Realm, and a few of them were also Early Stage of the Qi and Blood Realm, which was still far away from the Meridian Opening Realm.
Near the end, he mentioned by the way that Iron Fist Sect is currently recruiting talented disciples from Body Refining among Rogue Cultivator. There are complete Cultivation Method from Body Refining Stage to the Golden Body Realm. If you are interested, you can go to the backstage to find Iron Fist Sect disciple registration. Qin Tiexin's eyes lit up when he saw the Rogue Cultivators around him, but he was not tempted. He just secretly recorded the name Iron Fist Sect in his heart - at least it showed that the power-type physical cultivation in Rogue Cultivator had a way to be recognized by large sects.
After the lecture on the first day, Qin Tiexin returned to Zone C, wrote down several key points mentioned by True Person Iron Fist during the day, and chewed them over and over again several times based on his own cultivation experience, until late at night before going to rest.
The person who took the stage the next day was Yang Qingxue.
She changed into a black short-beating outfit, revealing her smooth forearms and legs, with the two thorns inserted into her waist. She walked to the center of the podium, and without any extra courtesy, she said, "The fast person may not win, but the slow person will definitely get beaten." Someone in the audience laughed, but her tone did not sound like she was joking.
She did not start with theory like True Person Iron Fist, but directly pulled out the double thorns from her waist and demonstrated several sets of combo moves on the podium. Her speed was extremely fast, and there was almost no gap between the moves. The double thorns seemed to come alive in her hands, and the cold light intertwined into a network on the podium.
The audience was completely silent.
After the demonstration, she stood still and began to explain the key points of speed-based physical training.
"Speed type does not mean that you do not practice strength." She said, "The burst of speed also requires strength as support. The difference is that the power type pursues the limit of a single output, while the speed type pursues the continuous output efficiency per unit time. The same is Body Tempering Peak. The power type can punch ten thousand kilograms with one punch, while the speed type can punch ten punches in one breath, each punch is three thousand kilograms, and the total output is higher. Between strength and strength, the use method is different, and the effect is also different."
When she talked about the Qi and Blood Realm, she mentioned a key concept - Qi and Blood bursts can be superimposed. When the speed-type physical training is at the Qi and Blood Realm, it can compress the interval between Qi and Blood bursts to an extremely short time, and superimpose the next round before the end of one burst. In this superposition state, the speed-type physical training Movement Method can be fast enough to hit the opponent before the opponent of the same level takes action.
After the day ended, Duan Xuan touched Qin Tiexin with his elbow. "The concept of explosive circulation she mentioned is somewhat similar to the "Blazing Sun Body Refining Instruction" I practiced. Have you considered the speed type?"
Qin Tiexin shook his head. "My strength talent is more suitable for strength types. I can't take care of both ends at the speed of training."
The third day was Gu Dan's lecture. There were more people in front of the podium than the previous two days.
When the old man walked onto the stage, he was not as domineering as True Person Iron Fist, nor as fierce as Yang Qingxue, and his steps were very light. He was wearing a clean blue robe, with a long sword hanging on his waist. After standing in the center of the podium, his eyes slowly swept across the audience, and his voice was neither urgent nor slow.
"It's the ability to follow one path to the extreme. It's also the ability to be able to follow several paths. The key is - you have to know which path is suitable for you."
Qin Tiexin was sitting in the audience. When he heard this sentence, his eyes froze slightly.
Gu Dan did not start talking about Cultivation Method directly, but started from his own understanding of the Body Refining system. He talked about the balance between strength and speed, and the trade-off between defense and recovery. He sorted it out from the Body Refining Realm to the Meridian Opening Realm, without avoiding the detours he took when he was young.
"When I was young, I only pursued strength. I felt that as long as I punched hard enough, all problems could be solved. It was only when I practiced Middle Stage of the Qi and Blood Realm that I realized that I couldn't keep up with the speed. It was useless to have strength and miss the opponent." His tone was flat, as if he was talking about someone else's business, "Later I also took an extreme defensive route and spent most of Qi and Blood on strengthening physical defense. The defense did improve, but the Qi and Blood transformation path was almost destroyed. It wasn't until I met my master that I really found a path that suited me."
The audience listened quietly.
Gu Dan finally concluded. "When choosing Cultivation Method, it is not that the stronger the better, but the more suitable the better. To judge whether a Cultivation Method is suitable for you, you need to look at three points - which type of physical talent is more preferred, which type of power method the combat style is more suitable for, and which way you want to go far in the future."
He didn't mention the solicitation. At the end, he just handed over his hand and said, "I have no connection with the Ice and Snow Pavilion yet. I was just invited to give a few lectures. If you want to ask for advice alone, you can find me outside the north gate after the lecture." After that, he got off the podium.
Qin Tiexin did not come forward. He sat where he was and went through the contents of the past three days in his mind.
True Person Iron Fist's theory of the foundation of power, Yang Qingxue's Qi and Blood superposition method, Gu Dan's summary of path selection. His eyes fell back to the paper filled with notes in front of him, he was silent for a moment, picked up the pen and added a few words at the footer -
Strength is the main thing, and the rest is supplementary.
His talent and foundation are all on the line of strength, which is his most natural direction. But on the basis of strength, he can learn from the advantages of other types to make up for his shortcomings - such as the recovery type's idea of nurturing Qi and Blood, the speed type's explosive power transformation skills, and even the defensive type's method of withstanding impact. These can be used as assistants to enrich his future combat system.
Moreover, True Person Iron Fist also mentioned that Body Tempering Peak has a higher limit. He wants to try to see if he can mention his own strength limit before reaching Qi and Blood Realm.
At the end of the meeting, a monk in charge of the organization came up to the podium, cleared his throat, and announced the arrangements for the first round of practical assessment.
"Tomorrow morning, all contestants who have passed the preliminary test will gather in the square. The first round of assessment is to hunt Devil Race. The time limit is seven days, and the results will be settled with Devil Core as the voucher. The specific rules will be announced before departure." People in the audience stood up and left one after another. Qin Tiexin also stood up and walked out of the square with the flow of people.
