Instruction
Within the Supervision Bureau, while everyone shares information about their own situation, it mainly focuses on aspects such as combat techniques that might affect teamwork.
Moreover, it's only a general description, not a very detailed one.
Therefore, this was the first time Han Ling had a relatively clear understanding of the "flow" situation.
Han Ling lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then did not refuse.
What should I do?
Shen Heng stuck the wooden stick in his hand into the soft soil beside the fire and patted the sawdust off his hands.
First, you need to understand the core principles of 'flow'.
He raised his right hand, and a wisp of fluorescent white Origin Power seeped from his fingertips, pulsating in his palm like a living thing.
"It is a combat technique built upon the enhancement of the body by Origin Power, and that amplifies and maintains this enhancement throughout the entire body."
"The core idea is to allow the Origin Power to flow stably and continuously within the body, like blood, forming an internal circulatory system."
Han Ling stared at the wisp of Origin Power, watching it gradually Division dozens of fine threads, which wrapped and wove around Shen Heng's hand.
To allow the Origin Power to flow continuously and stably within the body?... Han Ling looked at the intertwined, shimmering white threads in Shen Heng's hand, her eyes suddenly flashing.
She suddenly realized that this combat technique might not have been created in the first place.
Normal martial artists at lower levels are unable to create this combat skill due to insufficient mental strength and control over Origin Power.
When they reach the intermediate level and their mental strength and Origin Power control reach the required level, they tend to neglect this aspect because they have become accustomed to directly accessing Origin Power.
Don't doubt it, the power of habit is terrifying.
At least, before Shen Heng spoke today, she hadn't thought about how to apply Origin Power in a more basic way for several years.
Shen Heng had no idea what Han Ling was thinking; his gaze was also fixed on the intertwined Origin Power in his palm.
"The most important thing in cultivating 'Flow' is to establish a stable and cyclical flow path for the Origin Power within the body."
"For you, the Five Animal Fist's Body Tempering path is a very good starting point."
"First, familiarity."
"Secondly, although it's basic, it's comprehensive enough."
This foundation wasn't something Shen Heng made up. While the flow path of the Five Animal Fist is indeed comprehensive, covering all parts of the body, it's also quite rough.
Over the past two years, Shen Heng has made countless minor adjustments based on his body's feedback.
Now, within his body, in his arms alone, the Origin Power is like tree branches, constantly forking and moving forward, eventually converging at some point.
At this point, Shen Heng paused, dissipated the Origin Power in his hand, and looked up at Han Ling.
"What you need to do now is guide the Origin Power, letting it flow along the path it Origin Power · Flow when practicing the Five Animal Fist."
"Remember, the Origin Power must flow continuously and imperceptibly from the dantian during this process, and then steadily and continuously flow to other places."
The theory is simple once it's explained, but the key is whether it can be put into practice.
Han Ling lowered her eyes to organize her thoughts, then closed them.
She breathed slowly, and her mind gradually calmed down.
Shen Heng looked at Han Ling's face and hair illuminated by the firelight, then picked up a wooden stick and continued to dig.
During this process, his clothes rose and fell slightly.
The sound waves were cleansing his body...
Time slips away quietly.
At one moment, Shen Heng slowly raised his eyes.
Han Ling had opened her eyes, and her breathing was slightly more disordered than when she had closed them.
"How are you feeling?" Shen Heng asked.
Han Ling frowned and recalled for a moment, then said:
"It's... hard to capture that 'flowing' feeling."
"In the past, we would simply mobilize Origin Power to wherever enhancement was needed, and once the enhancement requirements were met, we would stop mobilizing it."
"This time, however, I have to constantly draw Origin Power from my dantian and maintain its stability."
Han Ling frowned and said:
"I tried, but the Origin Power either stagnated or tried to break free..."
"This is the first problem you'll face when cultivating the 'Flow' technique." Shen Heng looked up at Han Ling.
"Your body is already accustomed to the original way of using Origin Power, so when you call upon Origin Power, your body will instinctively want to use Origin Power in the original way."
"It's not that difficult, but it's not that easy either."
"You just need to spend more time manipulating them when you call them."
Han Ling nodded slightly, and just as she was about to try again, Shen Heng continued speaking.
"The habitual use of Origin Power is one problem; another is maintaining the stability and continuity of the cycle."
"At first, you don't need to force the Origin Power to circulate extensively within your body. Focus on smaller circulations first, such as in your chest cavity and arms."
"Only connect them when you can keep this small Origin Power · Flow flowing continuously for at least ten minutes without interruption or fluctuation."
Han Ling nodded slightly and closed her eyes again.
For the rest of the time, only the crackling of burning firewood and Han Ling's soft breathing could be heard around the campfire.
After a long while, Han Ling opened her eyes again.
A few beads of sweat covered her forehead, and a hint of joy appeared in her eyes, but it wasn't intense.
She turned to look at Shen Heng.
"The small cycle was successful, but the large cycle may still take some time."
"Yes, you can try more when you have time later." Shen Heng nodded calmly.
Most combat skills cannot be learned simply by talking about them.
It's normal for some combat skills to not improve for a year or two.
For example, Shen Heng is currently cultivating the Sixfold Force and the stable Vibrating Blade · Fourfold.
Both of these have been holding Shen Heng back for more than half a year, and he has only just begun to see some progress.
Shen Heng added:
"As for the aforementioned method of replacing the Five Animal Fist for Body Tempering..."
"Once you learn how to 'flow,' simply increase the Origin Power · Flow within your body, and then focus on guiding your body to absorb it."
As for "Flow Overclocking"...
Shen Heng paused for a moment, then continued:
"I can't teach you that."
"It's not that I want to keep anything to myself, but to learn 'Flow Overclocking,' I need to achieve more precise control based on 'Flow.'"
"This more precise control requires the Origin Power to vibrate stably and frequently within the body."
"This kind of tremor is generally undetectable and unsustainable by ordinary people."
"Even if I try my best to help you, you won't be able to maintain it without me, as you won't be able to sense the subtle fluctuations of the Origin Power."
Han Ling nodded slightly, indicating that she understood.
She thought for a moment and asked:
Do you usually maintain a constant flow of energy?
Shen Heng nodded slightly.
"But isn't this particularly mentally taxing?" Han Ling asked, slightly puzzled.
"I just tried it, and I can already feel the drain on my mental energy."
