"Brother Chen, when did you... learn the Three-Body Stance?"
*Gurgle*
Shi Jian gulped down his saliva.
Unconsciously,
His address to Chen Sheng subtly changed.
"The night before last."
After getting Chen Sheng's confirmation once again,
Shi Jian's expression suddenly became as if he had seen a ghost.
How could he guide this anymore!
Even his own stance isn't as standard as this.
From Chen Sheng's Three-Body Stance, Shi Jian could not find the slightest flaw.
It was entirely textbook-level.
If Chen Sheng were not a disciple of Li Chenghu,
He would even have reason to suspect if Chen Sheng had come to steal their techniques from other sects.
After all, the Three-Body Posture is a must-learn for many sects.
"Little Shi."
"Little Shi?"
Under Chen Sheng's repeated calls, Shi Jian finally came back to his senses.
*Cough, cough*-
He feigned a cough to cover up his embarrassment.
"Brother Chen, there's no problem with your stance practice."
"I think you can start practicing the boxing techniques directly."
Upon hearing this,
Chen Sheng's eyes lit up, and he instantly felt energized.
He immediately focused his attention, ready to observe Shi Jian's movements.
"Watch closely."
"The Three-Body Stance is the foundation's foundation in Xingyi Fist, and all boxing techniques are derived from it."
As he spoke,
Shi Jian took on the Three-Body Technique posture,
In an instant,
The original honest aura on him suddenly disappeared,
And what appeared was a calm momentum.
"The basic boxing techniques are divided into Five Elements Fist and Twelve Forms Boxing."
"Today we'll start with the Five Elements Fist."
While talking, Shi Jian's movement was not slow at all, as if he were a sheathed treasure sword.
The sword hadn't been unsheathed yet, but the momentum was already there.
"The Five Elements Fist, Chop, Crash, Drill, Cannon, and Horizontal, represent the five elements of Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth."
"It can strengthen the five internal organs, strengthen the muscles and bones, and nourish the spirit."
"Splitting Fist, use the body as an axe, and the fist will topple the opponent!"
As soon as the words fell,
Shi Jian's eyes widened, and he took a deep breath.
His breathing was like a swimming dragon, and his heart and lungs were in harmony.
He lifted his foot and took a step, his arms held like an axe,
And suddenly he chopped down!
Slap!
The air exploded with a bang.
"Bashing Fist, penetrate and explode, half a step to dominate the world!"
"Drilling Punch, seize the opportunity, as fast as lightning!"
"Cannon Fist, fierce and violent, combining attack and defense!"
"Cross Punch, the force is round and smooth, breaking the straight with a horizontal attack!"
Five Elements Fist was successively demonstrated.
As Shi Jian's arms swung, Chen Sheng could faintly hear the sound of the air being torn apart,
Expressing the force, causing a series of explosions in the air.
Whoosh-
Shi Jian finished the five punches, stood up to close the practice, and took a long breath.
A visibly white mist came out of his mouth and shot out about two meters before slowly dispersing.
This scene made Chen Sheng's eyes full of surprises.
This was exactly like the martial arts he had once imagined.
It was great to be able to come to the Martial Arts Hall!
At this moment, Chen Sheng felt extremely fortunate to be able to enter the world of martial arts.
"Brother Chen, the Five Elements Fist is both a fighting method and a training method."
"As a training method, it goes hand in hand with the Three-Body Stance to strengthen the five internal organs and the muscles and bones."
"As a fighting method, it can defeat enemies."
"I'll first help you practice the movements thoroughly, and when you become completely familiar with them, you can try to practice them fast."
In the next three hours,
Shi Jian helped Chen Sheng familiarize himself with the movements of the Five Elements Fist.
And during the practice,
Chen Sheng was surprised to find that,
His Level 2 Three-Body Stance could actually be combined with the Five Elements Fist.
With the Level 1 Three-Body Stance, he had to constantly focus on the essentials and maintain the proper posture and breathing rhythm while practicing to see results.
But with the Level 2 Three-Body Stance, Chen Sheng had already mastered all the essentials like the back of his hand.
Even while practicing the Five Elements Fist, Chen Sheng was able to continuously adjust his body, making the two complement each other.
The training effect was much stronger than just standing in stance alone!
Three hours of learning and training.
Chen Sheng's three physical attributes all increased by 0.02.
It seemed a little less.
But this was because Chen Sheng was not proficient enough in the Five Elements Fist, resulting in the inability to continuously train efficiently.
He believed,
that once he upgraded his Five Elements Fist with his skill points,
his training effect would drastically improve!
Just thinking about the evening training, he couldn't help but feel excited.
"What are you so happy about, Brother Chen?"
At this moment,
Shi Jian, who was standing by Chen Sheng's side, couldn't help but ask when he saw Chen Sheng's silly smile.
After three hours of interaction, the two became much more familiar with each other.
Although Shi Jian looked mature, he was actually a straightforward teenager.
Chen Sheng was attracted to this character.
Therefore,
the two no longer spoke as politely as before.
"It's nothing, I just thought of something happy."
Chen Sheng quickly came back to his senses.
Seeing that Shi Jian seemed to want to ask more, he quickly changed the subject.
"Shi, let me ask you, do you know how the martial arts realm is divided? I saw it online, like the first stage, second stage, are there any distinguishing standards?"
"Of course there are."
Oh?
Chen Sheng was originally just trying to change the subject, but seeing that there was a real answer, he immediately became interested.
"Tell me more."
Shi Jian explained in detail.
"Before entering the realm, there are ten stages, and the ten stages are divided into three levels."
"From the tenth stage to the eighth stage, you train Light Energy, mainly to exercise physical strength, so that the whole body's power becomes unified."
"When punching, if you can make an explosive sound, that's Light Energy."
At this point, Shi Jian showed a proud expression.
"I may be humble, but I am an Eighth Stage Martial Artist."
"Just a step away, I can step into the next level, An Jin (Hidden Strength)."
"Train internal breathing while also training muscles, bones, and skin. Make the whole body's muscles and bones link together, generating An Jin, increasing the lethality of every punch and kick."
"An Jin corresponds to Seventh to Fifth Stage."
"After that, you train your internal organs, unite the inside and outside of your body, make Hidden Strength present throughout the body, and reach the point where you can't add even a single feather, that's called Transforming Power."
"Transforming Power corresponds to the Fourth to First Stage."
At this point,
Shi Jian stopped talking.
Chen Sheng waited for a long time, but it seemed like Shi Jian had no intention of continuing, so he quickly asked further.
"And after that?"
"There's nothing after that."
Shi Jian said matter-of-factly.
"Big brother, I am only at the Eighth Stage, how can you expect me to understand entering the realm?"
He looked at Chen Sheng with a why-are-you-even-thinking-about-that expression.
But soon, he changed his tune.
"However, that being said."
"Nowadays, with the world changing, simple strength can no longer completely represent one's stage."
"Therefore, you need to look at physical strength."
As he said this,
Shi Jian pointed towards the wooden door at the deep end of the practice martial field.
"Those direct disciples, each and every one of them are monsters with terrifying physical qualities."
"Take Wu Ran, for example. He has been practicing martial arts for two months and is now at the Light Energy level."
"But in the martial arts hall, there's no one among the Hidden Strength stage who can match him."
"Even someone saw him sparring with Brother Guo of the Transforming Power stage, and he didn't lose at all."
"That's why we're practicing martial arts, just to better develop our bodies."
Hearing this,
Chen Sheng thoughtfully nodded.
How apt this was.
As long as he persisted in training, his physical qualities would not lose to anyone else's.
Even the "Heavenly Person" that Li Chenghu dreaded so much.
Bang.
Just then,
the unexpected sound interrupted Chen Sheng's thoughts.
The surrounding martial arts disciples also stopped their actions one after another.
Chen Sheng looked in the direction of the sound.
He found that the closed gate had opened.
Li Xingwu walked out slowly with his hands behind his back.
There were three people behind him.
