[I don't think I will have any difficulties at all. I have a firm foundation in Tai Chi. If I practice according to the manual, I shouldn't have a problem. Didn't Zhang Wuji master the Nine Yang Divine Skill by himself?]
[Are you kidding me? That's a novel. Besides, Zhang Wuji is the main character. The heavens shower him with blessings.]
[I feel that the heavens are pretty favorable to me too. To be honest, I've been practicing martial arts since I was young. I've trained in Tai Chi, Intention Fist, and Crushing Fist]
[Wow, are you planning to practice a wide range of martial arts styles? May I ask your age?]
[I'm twenty-eight.]
[Young man, I have high hopes for you. What do you say, master?]
[He is impressive. Could you share the entire image? If it's not convenient, you don't have to bother.]
[No problem.]
Unexpectedly, the user nicknamed "Broken Stream" happily uploaded a few pictures. In addition to the figure painting of the martial art, there was also a paragraph of text.
[Damn, I just realized that the person commenting above is actually Broken Stream. Do you think that we're all amateurs here?]
[Is Rushing Thunder Hand here? Come on out!]
Taiji Yan ignored all the unruly comments
[This dozen or so pictures should be talking about the method of breathing and the method of using energy. If you have a certain foundation, you can try practicing according to the pictures]
Wang An downloaded the pictures and studied them carefully.
He was prepared to try out the breathing and energy circulation techniques when he practiced Tai Chi the next day.
Most people did not dare to practice out of fear of making mistakes, but he was not afraid. If he practiced wrongly, he would get a notification, and he could just adjust it from there.
This was the beauty of a cheat system.
He was also thinking of buying a few books related to Tai Chi to study.
Books were the foundation of human progress, and they should be able to improve his skills.
[You read a set of Tai Chi manuals and gained some knowledge.]
[Tai Chi experience +3.]
"Yes, it's indeed useful."
At night, he went to bed early. In his sleep, he practiced Tai Chi on a mountain.
Once more, he slept till dawn,
In the morning, when Wang An was washing his face, he was pleasantly surprised to find that his dark circles had almost disappeared. His complexion was also much better. His entire face was much better than before. The results of his hard work over the past few days were very obvious. Naturally, it made him very happy.
He was a young man. Under normal circumstances, his body's various functions should be at their peak at his age.
Even if he had been diagnosed with some diseases and abnormalities, he could still recover through exercise and an active lifestyle.
In the morning, after arriving at the park, he began by standing in the stance from the picture. As he stood there, he recalled the corresponding diagrams with their red lines from earlier. He gradually adjusted his posture and movements accordingly.
When practicing martial arts, it's crucial to use the force correctly. Firstly, your tendons and bones must be aligned correctly because force is transmitted along the tendons and bones.
He practiced very slowly and took many breaks. He practiced the technique repeatedly in order to feel the changes and transmission of the force in his body.
Reading a book a hundred times reveals its meaning by itself. This saying was not only applicable to reading, but also to practicing martial arts.
If he practiced a set of punches a hundred times seriously, he would gain an understanding.
As Wang An practiced, he recalled the manual he had seen. He referred to the red lines on it and felt the transmission of strength in his body. Out of a hundred people who practiced Tai Chi, there probably would not be a single one who practiced it like him.
Li Juewen, who had come to the park, noticed that Wang An was repeatedly practicing a move and felt a little curious.
"What are you doing? I saw that your posture was correct, so why did you stop?"
"I'm experiencing the force in my body." Wang An said truthfully.
Li Juewen smiled and nodded. He did not say anything else. He did not know what to say either.
Initially, he had only learned these martial arts routines and was not clear about the techniques for manipulating energy in combat. Whether the teacher who instructed him understood these techniques or not remained uncertain.
[Tai Chi experience +10.]
[Tai Chi experience +8.]
The continuous notifications proved that Wang An's method was correct.
Wang An practiced tirelessly for the entire morning. He was fully immersed in it and was very focused. He was like a child in the martial arts world who had obtained a secret training manual through a fortuitous encounter in novels.
[You learned a little from practicing Tai Chi with reference to the manual.]
Wang An opened the interface and found that his experience bar had increased by a small amount. He was delighted and practiced even more vigorously. Unknowingly, it was already noon.
He went home to have a good meal. After lunch, he went to the swimming pool to practice swimming in the afternoon.
Through daily exercise, reasonable meals, and adequate rest, he could feel that his body was getting healthier day by day.
The most intuitive feeling was that his body had become lighter, more energetic, and stronger.
When he woke up in the morning, he was no longer groggy as if he had not slept. His urine was not as yellow as before, and his eyes were not dry. In the mirror, his face was rosy, and he was in high spirits. It was as if he had become a different person.
Just like that, a week had passed. When he took a shower, he realized that his belly had also shrunk.
"There are many things in life that bring happiness."
Earning a lot of money, buying a luxury car and a villa, and getting the girl of your dreams were certainly events worth celebrating. However, even small things were worth being happy about. Things such as eating a delicious meal or finding out that his belly had disappeared through exercise were an example.
Another example was waking up in the morning to find that his face in the mirror looked better. There were fewer scars on his face and fewer white hair.
Wang An was very happy now. His body was getting better at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The health of his body brought joy to his mood, and when his mood was good, his body would be healthier. This was a virtuous cycle.
As the saying goes, one only knows how important one's body is when one is old. It is difficult to buy health even with a thousand gold coins. He already had a deep understanding of this saying.
During this period, he also bought several books related to Tai Chi. The books he bought were "The Tai Chi Boxing Treatise," "The Tai Chi Fighting Manual," "Tai Chi Fighting Explained," "Yang Style Tai Chi Fighting Exposition," and "The Book of Changes (Yijing)."
He had also gained some benefits from reading these books.
[You have read all the manuals, and your understanding of Tai Chi has increased.]
[Tai Chi experience +11.]
By the time he did push-ups again before bed, he could already do fifty push-ups in one go. The pair of 10-kilogram dumbbells that he had bought did not feel as heavy in his hands anymore.
This was the result of an increase in strength and endurance.
He was naturally very happy to have made such great progress in such a short period of time, and he had the motivation to continue.
He had also increased the number of push-ups and squats he did to 150 per day. In fact, it did not take long. Thirty minutes was enough to complete it.
The days passed like this. His life was routine and very fulfilling.
