Chapter 23 [Progress]
Time passed quickly. In the following days, Chen Musheng devoted himself to his daily practice, so he became very busy.
For example, you have to patrol alone every day, practice the "Ice and Fire Skills", insist on practicing martial arts, and most importantly, the note that appears in the tip of the bag requires a task of engaging the true qi to punch a hundred thousand times...
——————————————
The sky is hazy
The cool breeze was blowing, and the school ground before dawn was empty and deserted, as if there was not even a ghost.
Pang!
Pang!
Pang!
...
The harsh and huge sound filled the entire wooden stake alley.
“Fifty-six thousand, one, fifty-six thousand, two, fifty-six thousand, three, fifty-six thousand, four….”
Chen Musheng's slightly burly figure was stopping in front of the thickest wooden stake, constantly muttering in his heart, punching one punch after another. With each punch, the fist was wrapped in a spiral-shaped cold air, and it bombarded the wooden stake with a violent momentum, with a huge momentum.
He was already sweating profusely, and the extreme feeling of fatigue filled him with every muscle, but he was still punching desperately.
After more than ten days of life-threatening practice, Chen Musheng, the target of 100,000 punches, has completed more than half of it, and he has gradually realized the significance of giving 100,000 punches.
"It is not the most important thing to complete 100,000 times to pull the true qi and punch the fist. What is important is that after constantly breaking through the limit of physical fatigue, the true qi in my dantian is becoming more resilient and long. This is what the tips say, the only way to become a strong person."
Chen Musheng thought to himself, and his fist gritted teeth, the huge fatigue, and the pain when the true qi in his dantian were exhausted, causing his muscles to begin to tremble slightly.
"Well! 56,401, 56,402, 56,403..." He trembled and continued to punch the wooden stakes, shaking a large piece of dust.
Because of the effects brought by the fifth level of "Ice and Fire Art", Chen Musheng found that the total amount of true qi in the dantian increased by a certain amount, and the recovery speed gradually accelerated. Now he can completely exhaust the true qi four times a day, and arrange the time reasonably, and within one day, he can activate the true qi to bombard the four thousand fists.
"Huh..." Chen Musheng's true energy was exhausted in his dantian. He finally stopped moving, pressed his palm on his knees, and bowed and gasped.
"Today's progress is completed, I'm back."
He put his worn-out training suit on his shoulders, turned around and walked out of the wooden stake alley, and began to walk towards his house.
Accumulated punches, 57,000 times!
...
The patrol of this day was calmly completed. At dusk, Chen Musheng came to the library again.
Although he has already been familiar with the sixth level of "Ice and Fire Art" and has begun to practice it with an attempt, and has long used the three-style "Tianbang Palm" to perfection, it is not enough for a real warrior to only master one martial art.
"Tomorrow is the 'free village day'. The practice has been very fast recently. Today, you can take a break, copy some new martial arts and go back to study it." Chen Musheng climbed the eighteenth-level stone steps of the library with a hint of longing.
"Boy, come and copy the secret book again?" Wu Bo stood in front of the library, looked at Chen Musheng who was passing by him, and asked suddenly.
Chen Musheng nodded and said, "I want to copy some secrets of martial arts and go back."
Wu Bo has been in the library for twenty years. Over the years, he has seen countless young talents in his family with outstanding talents. However, like Chen Musheng, who is obviously of a very poor talent, often copy secret books and his practice progress is still rapid, which makes Wu Bo's aging look a little unbearable.
"You go in." Uncle Wu closed his eyes, looked as if he was not concerned, and began to close his eyes and rest.
"Thank you, Uncle Wu." Chen Musheng responded and walked straight into the library.
Since this time, Chen Musheng went straight to the bookshelf on the third floor where martial arts secrets were stored, and began to search one by one.
The number of martial arts in the library is as vast as the sea, from first level to seventh level, but there is no martial arts above the level. Because martial arts above the level and above the level have very high requirements for practitioners, it is almost impossible for the tribesmen in the Jiezhe Village to reach them, and only the library in the Mojia Town has a few included.
After several practical experiences, Chen Musheng was very clear-headed and did not touch the sixth-level and seventh-level martial arts.
Because it is difficult to master any martial arts above level 4. Even if you copy them back, if you are unable to practice successfully, or are not skilled enough to use them immediately in battle, then there is no meaning.
Perhaps it is not strange that the seventh-level martial arts lose to the first-level martial arts users in actual combat.
For ordinary warriors, second-level martial arts and third-level martial arts are relatively simple, can be quickly used and can be quickly used in actual combat. Although the power is not very high, the martial arts are the most used.
"Tiger-shaped fist, bone-breaking hands, Vajra palm, twelve-way pool legs, seven-star steps..." Chen Musheng muttered, constantly taking off the secret book from the bookshelf and holding it in his arms.
He chose five kinds of secrets in total, four of which are offensive secrets, and the last book "Seven Star Steps" is a kind of secrets of "body skills".
The common point of these secrets is that except for "Seven Star Steps" which is a second-level martial art, the rest are all the lowest-level first-level.
"That's all. The power of the third form of "The Palm of Heaven" is actually strong enough. Practice some simple martial arts first to enrich my fighting routines, and master these things before you talk about it." Chen Musheng came to the long table with a stack of secret books in his arms and started copying.
First-level martial arts and second-level martial arts are simple and straightforward things that have evolved over the years, but they are not divided into realm levels. They are just a complete set of routines and are combined with some simple methods of true qi circulation, so the entire book can be copied when transcribing.
...
After Chen Musheng copied these five secret books, the afterglow of the setting sun outside the blinds had already come in.
"It's finally done, I'm back." Chen Musheng packed up a thick stack of paper, sighed in his heart, and walked down the stairs.
According to convention, Chen Musheng sent the copied secret books to Wu Bo for review.
Wu Bo looked through it casually, his white eyebrows frowned, and a strange expression appeared on his wrinkled face. In the entire Walker Village, there are very few people who practice seventh-level martial arts, and there are also few who practice first-level martial arts, because when first-level martial arts are used, it is almost the same as when it is used to engage in true qi moves. Even some complex movements will weaken the effect of the explosion of true qi.
"What a ruthless boy. A warrior who only practices first-level martial arts is a waste even if his skills are strong." Wu Bo said coldly. As a master in the warrior realm, he definitely disdained the low-level martial arts.
"Thank you, Mr. Wu, for your concern. I am not talented, so I can practice something simple." Chen Musheng took back the copied secret book and gave Mr. Wu a gratitude smile.
Mr. Wu's face turned cold and said, "You should do it yourself. Practicing these is just a waste of time."
"Then I'm thankful for Uncle Wu's reminder."
Chen Musheng exchanged a few greetings, but didn't care in his heart and said goodbye with a smile.
In fact, he had other ideas in his heart. For high-level warriors and even warriors with strong true energy, first-level martial arts are naturally not a big deal, because they have enough true energy to support extremely powerful high-difficulty martial arts.
However, first-level martial arts also have their own advantages, that is, they can be used at will without any preparation time. Chen Musheng felt that there is no need to spend too much time on the practice of martial arts before obtaining a high-level martial art that is truly suitable for him and has sufficient power.
If you spend a lot of energy and time now, after learning a seventh-level martial arts skill and then transfer to other martial arts skills, wouldn’t it be worth the loss?
He felt that the martial arts secrets in the Walker Village might not be suitable for him now. Moreover, the seventh-level martial arts... seem to be not powerful enough.
...
As night fell, Chen Musheng returned to his broken house and began to concentrate on practicing a few secret books. He learned the complex move changes very quickly, and quickly mastered the four first-level martial arts. Not long after, he was able to use them very skillfully.
Before we knew it, it was late at night.
In the dilapidated house, Chen Musheng stepped on the soles of his feet and pulled his true energy to burst out on the soles of his feet. A total of seven footprints of varying depths and strange layouts were blown out.
These seven footprints are the second-level body skills and martial arts, the practice method of "Seven Star Steps".
Chen Musheng stepped on his footprints and paced back and forth step by step, while holding his breath and concentrating, coordinating with the steps under his feet, constantly punching in the air...
Although "Seven Star Steps" is just a second-level body skills secret, it is a step by step. It uses clumsy and skillful body skills secrets to break the cleverness and down-to-earth body skills, and it is relatively simple to practice, which is suitable for Chen Musheng's combat style.
