Chapter 2: Breakthrough in Zhuanggong (Seeking follow-up reading)

Tianhai No. 2 Middle School is one of the key middle schools in Tianhai City.

There are a large number of martial arts geniuses gathered there.

The entire school covers a large area. The building is in red and white style and is surrounded by tall metal walls that separate the inside from the outside world.

Teaching buildings stood up inside, and countless students in blue and white school uniforms gathered at the door, queuing up to enter.

There was a row of burly security guards standing at the gate, each with a sharp gaze, patrolling like big bears.

“Is this No. 2 Middle School? They are all geniuses and top students.”

“Son, study hard. Our family depends on you!”

“…”

The freshmen who have just entered the first year of high school entered the school one after another with curiosity.

Lin Qi looked at the freshmen who were full of vitality and felt a little nostalgic. Two years ago, he entered No. 2 Middle School as a lucky draw and was as immature as them.

With nostalgia, he followed the crowd into the school.

After parking my bike, I walked to the playground with familiarity, found my class, and prepared for the opening ceremony.

after an hour
The boring opening ceremony ended and everyone returned to their classes, but they were not ordinary classes.

Instead, it was an empty classroom of over a thousand square meters, with a large number of common weapons such as swords and spears mounted on the walls.

At the same time, in the corner, fist piles that were over two meters long and extremely thick stood on the cushion.

After the students from Class 3 of Grade came in, they went to the locker room to change into loose martial arts uniforms and started training.

Some people stood still, while others performed boxing.

Some are like tigers emerging from the mountains, or cranes spreading their wings, or monkeys swinging their arms to strike the air, or snakes entwining themselves…

Some people were punching the ground, making crackling sounds.

Some people even picked up swords, spears, and other weapons and waved them around recklessly.

While practicing martial arts, they chatted with each other and told each other about their happy life during the holidays. The air was filled with a pleasant and leisurely atmosphere.

Lin Qi did not chat, but hid in a corner alone, put a qi and blood capsule into his mouth, and then moved his body.

If you make your body fully active before practicing martial arts, you will be less likely to get injured.

“My muscles are tired and sore all over my body. This has been going on for several days. Why haven’t I recovered yet?”

Lynch turned his body, feeling the abnormality in his body.

“Look at you, your muscles are stiff and your punches are weak. How long has it been since you last practiced martial arts?”

“You’ve wasted an entire summer vacation, and you still have the nerve to be so cheeky here.”

A loud scolding voice rang out in the crowd, drowning out everyone else’s voice.

Lynch looked and saw that this was a middle-aged man who was nearly 1.8 meters tall, with strong muscles, an ordinary face and a clear scar.

He was wearing a white sports suit and walking among the crowd with a brisk step.

A powerful aura emanated, and the entire martial arts room instantly became quiet, as silent as a cicada.

This is their martial arts teacher of Class 3—Wu Kang.

Responsible for the teaching of martial arts, he is a third-level martial artist.

Wu Kang’s eyes were sharp, like a blade slashing across everyone’s cheek, and he sneered:

“Some of you haven’t even mastered the art of boxing, yet you still have the nerve to practice weapons. You haven’t even learned how to walk, but you want to run? Do you think you’re so cool?”

The people who were spoken of immediately dropped their weapons out of shame, leaving only two or three people who ignored them, puffed out their chests, and held their weapons tightly.

Wu Kang put his hands behind his back, looked around, and spoke again in a voice as loud as a bell.

“Why do you want to practice martial arts?”

“Because warriors are the most promising profession in this world, they possess superhuman strength.”

“And in this world invaded by disaster beasts, strength means safety, money and status.”

“According to the latest social survey report, the average income of warriors is the highest in the world, far exceeding the second-highest income of any profession.”

“This is an era where everyone practices martial arts. Everyone must work hard to become a martial artist from birth. Hundreds of boats compete with each other, and thousands of troops cross a single-plank bridge.”

“It is destined that only a small number of people can become warriors.”

“And now is your golden period, when you will make the fastest progress.”

“With your current attitude, how can you compete with others?”

After Wu Kang finished speaking, the entire martial arts room fell silent. The relaxed atmosphere completely dissipated, and was replaced by heavy pressure.

“Let the class begin!”

After seeing the effect, Wu Kang continued:
“In the year 1999 of the martial arts calendar, aliens invaded and calamity beasts descended.”

“Our blue planet has opened up countless space cracks, and the disaster beasts rushed out from the space cracks. Along with the cracks, there is also an extraordinary power – source energy!”

“This is something our Blue Planet didn’t have before.”

“Scientists have discovered that when the human body absorbs source energy, it can unlock the shackles of genes, allowing the body to complete transformation and evolution.”

“Humans can also possess superhuman powers that are only seen in comics, novels, and movies.”

“The ancient martial arts have re-emerged, setting off a frenzy of evolution in human life.”

“Based on the joint research of all the countries on Blue Star, we have summarized the nine major barriers and nine shackles of martial arts.”

“The realm of warriors is divided into nine levels.” “Every time you clear a level, your strength will change dramatically.”

“The source energy is so powerful that ordinary people’s organs cannot absorb it directly. They can only absorb it through food, or slowly absorb it over the years.”

“In order for us warriors to improve our strength in a more scientific and efficient way.”

“We in Xia country have developed the Hunyuan Zhuang and Wuxing boxing techniques based on ancient health preservation techniques, exercises, and ancient boxing.”

“The first lesson of the new semester is to stand in the Hunyuan Posture to fully stretch your flabby bodies.”

Wu Kang shouted loudly, and 50 students quickly separated and started standing still.

“The Hunyuan Posture is a posture that was developed by our Xia country based on countless ancient posture exercises. It is the most universal and effective posture exercise.”

“The first step in martial arts is to train your body!”

“We need to exercise the large muscles in our body and improve our physical fitness in all aspects.”

“And the Hunyuan Posture can fully mobilize the body’s qi and blood, tempering every muscle in the body without leaving anything out.”

Lynch devoted himself to standing still.

“Standing still is the connection between form, intention, qi and strength.”

“Pay attention to emptying the head and keeping the strength, sinking the shoulders and elbows, holding the chest and pulling the back, letting the breath sink, lifting the buttocks and contracting the anus, grasping the ground with five toes, and sinking the qi into the dantian…”

“Not only can it strengthen the body, but it can also stretch the muscles and bones…”

Following Wu Kang’s explanation, Lin Qi also got into the state.

After more than ten years of standing in the stance, he had already mastered the Hunyuan stance into an instinct.

Breathe naturally, relax your muscles, hug your arms and feel the changes in your spine.

In a matter of moments, my body began to heat up, then became numb and began to tremble uncontrollably.

“Tick!”

Sweat oozed out and dripped onto the cushion continuously.

The body seems to come alive, and the energy and blood are stimulated.

The spine on the back is bulging, like a big tendon.

This is the dragon bone, which can only be achieved when the Hunyuan Posture is practiced to the essence.

At this time, Lynch also felt a big hand on his back.

“After more than ten years of learning standing meditation, some people still haven’t mastered the essence and their lower body is unstable.”

“You can take a look at Lin Qi’s standing practice. His standing practice is the best in your class.”

Wu Kang’s voice rang out again, and he looked at Lin Qi with an admiring expression.

His words immediately attracted the attention of many people, and they came closer to discuss.

“As expected of a master of basic skills, he is the best in our class. His stance is really like a textbook.”

“Every time I look at it, I feel it is perfectly round and round. It’s so perfect.”

Some people were amazed, while others were disdainful.

“No matter how strong your basic skills are, or how good your stance is, it’s useless without enough Qi and Blood capsules, Qi and Blood potions, and other resources. Your Qi and Blood values ​​won’t increase.”

“As a warrior, the Qi and blood value is the most important.”

At this time, Lynch was completely immersed in standing still.

I felt hot all over and sweaty, and the blood started from my feet and quickly flowed through every corner of my body.

The whole body is driven by the local parts, and the upper and lower parts are connected into one. An invisible energy flows through the body, and except for some minor obstructions, it is extremely smooth.

“Whoo~”

Lynch’s eyes suddenly widened, he exhaled and a surge of power came out.

A burst of hot steam rose.

[You have made a new breakthrough in practicing Hunyuan Zhuang, and your Qi and Blood value has been improved. Qi and Blood value +0.1! ]

[Health value: 5.2→5.3]

……

Lynch looked delighted and stood up from the ground.

“Whoo~”

Clench your fists, and streams of heat spread through every joint of your body, making your muscles ripple.

Finally a breakthrough!

The higher the level of standing meditation, the more efficient the body training will be.

Looking at the health value of 5.3 on the panel, Lynch was excited and his whole body was like a hot furnace.

The so-called Qi and blood value represents the strength of a person’s Qi and blood, and also represents the realm.

The nine major levels of martial arts divide martial artists into nine levels, while the Qi and blood values ​​represent a more detailed division.

It is possible to visually see the progress of physical training.

Every bit of progress can be seen.
