After class.
Many war gods from the Wumeng Mountains came over to greet Xu Feng.
Wang Zheng and the others, however, stepped aside, nodded to Xu Feng, and returned to their residence.
After dealing with these "colleagues," Xu Feng was then surrounded by a group of war gods from other regions.
In just half an hour, Xu Feng added 62 friends.
Of course, many war gods only glanced at him before turning away.
It was just very quick.
As soon as Xu Feng stepped out of the venue, he was stopped by a cleaning lady who looked to be around fifty years old.
"Young man, do me a favor."
The aunt smiled at Xu Feng.
Xu Feng smiled and said, "Councilor Huang, just say what you need, and I will definitely do it."
"Forehead..
""
The aunt's expression immediately turned somewhat bored, and in a flash, she transformed into Huang Zhong's appearance.
"Playing these games with a psychic is really boring." Huang Zhong seemed to have shed his previous serious demeanor, laughing lightly.
"By the way, Xiao Xu, hasn't your master and mistress planned to have another junior brother or sister for you yet?"
Hsu Feng:
'
'
He was secretly surprised.
Wow.
So this senator is quite hypocritical.
Xu Feng quickly waved his hand: "This junior dares not speak ill of my master, please don't tease me, senior."
Huang Zhong immediately burst into laughter: "You little rascal, you're quite respectful."
Okay, I'm not kidding you anymore, that's just how I am.
I'm two-faced; I act one way in front of people and another way behind their backs.
"Always maintaining that facade must be exhausting. Aren't you a little disappointed?"
Xu Feng smiled and clasped his hands in a fist and said, "This junior dares not presume to comment, but I believe that as long as you are happy and do not harm others, then there is no problem."
Huang Zhong clicked his tongue and then said seriously, "I don't know if you really think that way or if you're just saying it to please me."
It doesn't matter.
In short, I stayed behind specifically to wait for you because of one thing.
I received a call from your master the day before yesterday, saying he wanted me to help you choose three movement techniques, from S-rank to SS-rank, and then to SSS-rank.
Xu Feng was taken aback upon hearing this, but then felt a warm feeling in his heart.
Huang Zhong continued, "Although the Flying Star Crescent Blade also has accompanying footwork, its level... is at most S."
level.
Moreover, it requires coordination with swordsmanship, and you won't be able to master it in less than seven or eight years.
Therefore, it is absolutely necessary to combine this with specialized training in body techniques.
"Your A-level movement technique is the 'Star Shifting and Constellation Changing' technique, isn't it?"
Xu Feng was not surprised and nodded, "Yes."
Huang immediately held up three fingers.
"Based on your situation, I've found some recommendations for you."
The S-level movement technique "Nine Turns of the Dragon" serves as a connection and supplement to your current "Shifting Stars and Changing Constellations" after you have perfected it. It focuses more on unpredictability and surprise attacks in actual combat.
The SS-level movement technique, "Shadow Follower," leans towards unpredictability and assassination.
This can prepare you for your future attempt to reach the pinnacle of the War God realm. Besides, you've practiced the "Shadow Strike" movement technique, haven't you?
Xu Feng quickly nodded: "That's right, senior has a discerning eye."
Huang Zhong waved his hand: "The authors of 'Shadow' and 'Shadow Follows' are the same person, so they are from the same source."
"There is also an SSS-level movement technique called 'Void Escape,' which involves spatial laws, is extremely difficult to cultivate, and requires a very high level of comprehension."
Once you have mastered your SS-level movement technique and made further breakthroughs in your mental power, you can switch to this new form.
Because it contains the mysteries of space, but it is only a seed, allowing you to sense the direction in advance.
Xu Feng was deeply moved.
Councilor Huang's considerations are truly thorough.
This is a movement technique advancement path completely tailor-made for him!
"Thank you, Councilor Huang!" Hsu Feng bowed deeply in gratitude. "I will certainly work hard and live up to the expectations of my mentor and the Councilor!"
"Alright, alright," Huang Zhong nodded in satisfaction, then resumed his slightly mocking expression. "Alright, get ready for the next lesson."
Tomorrow's lesson will be taught by Old Man Li himself, focusing on the application of "momentum." Don't miss it.
While movement techniques are important, combat strength is ultimately a comprehensive reflection of overall ability. I look forward to your future performance.
After he finished speaking, his figure blurred again, disappearing from the spot as if merging into the air.
Xu Feng tried to capture it with his telekinetic power, but could only catch a faint afterimage.
Even more bizarrely...
When Huang finally left, his movement was so fast that it didn't even make a sound.
That's really impressive!
The fact that this person could give advice to his master suggests that their skill in movement techniques probably surpasses his master's.
"Phew! Back!"
Xu Feng hurried back to his residence and soon found information and prices for the three movement technique manuals on the webpage.
"The Legend of the Dragon" grossed 38 billion.
"The Shadow Follows", 780 billion.
"Void Escape", 1200 billion.
"Let's do it one at a time."
He immediately placed an order for the "Nine Turns of the Dragon" movement technique.
Unexpectedly, the movement technique manual was delivered at 11 p.m. that very night.
As expected of Base No. 1, it truly lives up to its reputation as a central city.
After seeing the secret technique, Xu Feng couldn't help but nod.
The name "Nine Turns of the Swimming Dragon" sounds vulgar, but its movement techniques are actually extremely advanced.
And it does have some similarities to the concept of shifting stars and changing constellations, but its theme is much higher.
"practice!"
That night, Xu Feng didn't sleep; he immediately started practicing the secret technique.
This training gave them a significant advantage in terms of experience after mastering the Star Shifting Technique.
In less than two hours, I had a basic grasp of the so-called "basic steps" of the Nine Turns of the Dragon. After a little deduction, I successfully advanced directly from the novice proficiency level to the "proficient" level.
This speed can only be achieved by having a perfect foundation in the "Shifting Stars and Changing Constellations" technique.
but.
Just as Xu Feng was immersed in the exquisite changes of the "Nine Turns of the Swimming Dragon" movement technique.
The tactical watch on his wrist vibrated very slightly.
A message from the training center system was projected in front of me:
[Tomorrow's Course Announcement: Instructor - Li Hengkong]
Course topic: "Analysis and preliminary application of 'potential'".
Time: 9:00 AM.
Location: Budokan No. 1.
Note: It is recommended to arrive half an hour early to allow time for mental adjustment.
Li Hengkong!
Upon seeing this name, Xu Feng's heart involuntarily quickened.
To be able to listen to this legendary figure personally teach is an opportunity that many war gods would rather die for.
He immediately abandoned his desire to continue practicing his movements and sat down cross-legged.
Begin practicing the "Three Pure Ones' Boundless Dharma" to adjust your state and strive to greet tomorrow's lessons with the most energetic spirit.
The next morning.
8:20.
A number of War God students have already gathered outside the No. 1 Theory Hall.
Unlike the usual relaxed atmosphere, everyone appeared unusually quiet and solemn today.
They spoke in hushed tones, their eyes filled with anticipation and awe.
When Xu Feng arrived, he found that all the war gods, regardless of their faction or personality, had concealed their auras and were now staring intently.
At 8:30, the stadium doors slowly opened.
The trainees filed in.
The No. 1 Martial Arts Hall has a very large interior space, but the layout is unusually simple.
There were no superfluous decorations, only rows of special metal seats arranged in a fan-shaped tiered pattern, and a large circular podium at the very front.
Xu Feng found a seat in the middle front row, closed his eyes to rest, and adjusted himself to his peak condition.
8:55.
The entire venue was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Nearly a hundred war god-level powerhouses concealed all their auras, standing as still as rocks.
Nine o'clock sharp.
Without any warning or footsteps, a figure seemed to materialize from nothingness on the circular platform.
He was dressed in a simple dark gray cloth coat, not particularly tall, with a plain face, looking like an ordinary middle-aged man.
But the moment he stood still, the light in the entire venue seemed to bow slightly to him.
The air stopped moving, and an invisible, indescribable sense of presence enveloped everyone.
He wasn't aggressive, yet it was as if he stood there as the center of the world.
Li Hengkong!
All eyes instantly focused on him, filled with utmost reverence.
Li Hengkong calmly swept his gaze across the entire room.
Everyone who was touched by his light felt their hearts clear and their distracting thoughts vanish.
Li Hengkong's condition was completely different from when Xu Feng last saw him.
If the other person seemed harmless when we met in private last time...
But today, he seems like a mountain weighing on everyone's hearts.
"Today, we'll talk about momentum," Li Hengkong said slowly.
The sound wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly.
There were no formalities, no small talk; they went straight to the point, with a peculiar penetrating power and attraction.
What is momentum? Momentum is a field formed by the interweaving and resonance of power, spirit, will, environment, and even rules.
A trend.
A state of mind or atmosphere.
An invisible force that can be perceived and utilized.
"It is formless and intangible, yet it truly exists."
Mountains have their own shape, water has its own shape, and heaven and earth have their own shape.
"We martial artists can create a powerful force through the surging of our qi and blood."
"When spirits are united, they can create a powerful force."
A firm will can create momentum.
Even one's understanding of heaven and earth and all things can influence the power of heaven and earth.
He didn't use any modern teaching equipment; he simply stood there and slowly raised one hand.
"As weighty as a mountain, as vast as the sea, as formless as the wind, as swift as thunder."
As he spoke, the people in the venue seemed to "see" a different scene.
When he mentioned "mountain," everyone felt the air around them become thick and heavy, as if they were carrying a mountain on their backs.
When we talk about the "sea," we can almost hear the tides surging and feel its boundless embrace and pressure.
When it comes to "wind," even the most agile people feel their once-proud speed becomes sluggish and difficult to move.
When the word "thunder" was mentioned, everyone's heart skipped a beat, sensing a destructive explosive force contained within it.
This was not a mental illusion, but rather Li Hengkong's understanding of "momentum" that triggered subtle changes in the surrounding environment.
And he conveyed this "meaning" to everyone present.
This feeling is mysterious and elusive.
Of course, everyone was shocked and horrified.
Li Hengkong's explanations were insightful yet easy to understand.
He did not directly expound on profound and mysterious laws, but started with the most basic and essential concepts.
At the same time, by combining his own cultivation and combat experiences, he concretized the abstract concept of "momentum".
"Power originates from within and is in harmony with heaven and earth."
Li Hengkong continued.
"Beginners should first understand their own strengths and weaknesses."
Your blood and qi characteristics, your spiritual core, and your martial will are all the foundation of your power.
His gaze swept across the audience, pausing briefly on Xu Feng, but only for a fleeting moment.
"By consolidating one's own strength, one can intimidate the enemy and solidify one's own resolve."
Furthermore, one can draw upon the power of heaven and earth to empower oneself, making every move one makes exponentially more powerful.
As for the highest level...
'
Li Hengkong paused for a moment, then spoke slowly.
"The body is the power, and the power is the body; words are law, and the domain is formed by itself."
Thus, this is what everyone refers to as a being surpassing the God of War, the Star God Realm.
Everyone was so shocked by Li Hengkong's story that they were speechless.
"Understanding the potential is the first step in utilizing it."
Li Hengkong continued.
"Close your eyes and release your mental perception."
Don't limit yourself to qi, blood, and mental power; feel the aura I'm radiating right now.
Everyone closed their eyes as instructed, and Xu Feng slowly spread his mental energy.
But it is not for exploration, but as an extension of perception, to "experience" with one's heart the aura that is as deep and majestic as a mountain, yet contains the vastness of heaven and earth in the direction of the podium.
Gradually, he "saw" it.
In the world of spiritual perception, Li Hengkong's location was like an invisible vortex, or a luminous body, radiating a gentle yet powerful fluctuation.
This fluctuation affects everything around it: light, air, dust.
Even the space itself resonates with it in a specific rhythm.
A moment later, the strange feeling disappeared.
Li Hengkong then continued, "Since you have all sensed the power, I will explain how to condense your own power."
Just as Xu Feng was looking forward to Li Hengkong's explanation.
Suddenly, Li Hengkong on the podium turned his gaze, as if piercing through space, and landed on Xu Feng.
"You, come out here and cooperate."
The calm voice rang out, yet it made Xu Feng freeze.
All eyes in the room instantly turned to Xu Feng.
Xu Feng's heart skipped a beat, but he quickly calmed down.
He took a deep breath, and under the gaze of nearly a hundred war gods and one being beyond the war god, he calmly stood up and walked towards the circular podium.
"Junior Xu Feng greets Speaker Li."
Xu Feng bowed respectfully, his posture neither humble nor arrogant.
Li Hengkong nodded slightly, his gaze calm and unwavering: "You specialize in swordsmanship?"
"Yes," Xu Feng replied.
"Unleash your strongest sword technique to date; my target is me."
Li Hengkong's voice was completely calm, as if he were talking about something perfectly ordinary.
To attack Speaker Li?
A soft gasp rose from the sidelines.
Even though I know this is just a teaching demonstration.
But facing this legendary being, the mere thought of "taking action" is enough to instill fear in the hearts of most war gods.
Xu Feng's heart tightened, but he quickly adjusted his mindset, realizing that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
He said in a deep voice, "I apologize for my offense."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Feng's eyes sharpened instantly.
Instead of using the Xuanjin Battle Blade behind him, he raised his palm like a blade, and his powerful blood and qi surged through his body, a fierce and unparalleled aura rising from his body.
Wind Slash!
Swish!
This strike was incredibly fast, yet it seemed to draw upon all of Xu Feng's strength and spirit.
Wherever his palm strike passed, the air emitted a faint tearing sound.
A pale blade of energy, extremely refined and accompanied by a howling gale, burst through the air, pointing directly at Li Hengkong.
Xu Feng unleashed this attack without holding back; amidst the chilling winds, hundreds of gusts of wind instantly appeared around him.
Like a domain of fierce winds.
This caused many of the warriors present who wielded knives to nod in approval.
However, this blade aura, which was enough to easily injure an ordinary early-stage War God, vanished and disappeared without a trace just three feet away from Li Hengkong.
Li Hengkong didn't even flinch at the hem of his clothes.
But a barely perceptible hint of approval appeared in Li Hengkong's eyes.
"very good."
He spoke slowly, his voice echoing in the silent venue.
"Please look, everyone. His strike already possesses a very strong sword intent, the intent of the Gale Sword."
Everyone's attention was more focused.
"The so-called artistic conception is the integration of one's own spirit, will, and understanding of martial arts into the moves, endowing them with a unique spirit and soul."
He turned to the crowd, his voice carrying clearly throughout the venue: "Most of you practice martial arts such as swordsmanship, knife skills, or fist techniques."
"Any technique, when mastered to a high level, will touch upon the realm of artistic conception."
The so-called artistic conception is the fusion of one's own spirit, will, and technique, giving it a unique spirit.
Li Hengkong pointed at Xu Feng.
"The essence of your sword intent lies in the wind."
Wind: fast, swift, fierce, gentle—these are all wind.
When you can not only experience it, but also actively integrate your own will into your swordsmanship.
This imbues each and every move with this unique meaning.
This is the initial grasp of the essence of the sword.
As he spoke, Li Hengkong looked at Xu Feng again.
"Artistic conception is the seed, the core of momentum."
He paused, giving everyone time to process his words, before continuing.
"And momentum" refers to the spread and sublimation of "intention".
"The sword intent you condense will no longer be confined to the blade."
Instead, it spreads out, influencing the surrounding area and forming a domain that belongs exclusively to you.
Within this realm, your blade is the rule, and your will is the law.
This is the essence of swordsmanship!
"Now, Xu Feng," Li Hengkong commanded, "draw your sword and use the sword technique you are most familiar with."
Do not use your qi and blood or brute force; just use your heart to feel the intent in your swordsmanship.
Try releasing it and letting it affect the space around you.
Xu Feng did as instructed and slowly drew out the "Mysterious Gold" from his hand.
He closed his eyes, cleared his mind of all distractions, and recalled the essence of the "Wind Blade"—extreme speed and whirlwind-like bursts of power.
He didn't use much of his vital energy; he simply slashed horizontally in an instant.
Swish!
With a single slash, a gust of wind exploded!
Then, another stab.
One cut after another.
Then, with a series of slashes, Xu Feng no longer confined the countless gusts of wind to his blade, but instead attempted to spread and permeate them outwards.
It was extremely difficult at first; the intent of the sword was scattered and not solidified, like a rootless duckweed.
The blade's energy dissipates the moment it leaves the hand.
But Xu Feng did not give up. He recalled the invisible force field that Li Hengkong had previously emitted and tried his best to use his will as a guide to unify his blood and spirit.
Gradually, the air seemed to become erratic within a radius of about one meter centered on him.
A breeze gradually picked up inside the venue.
Those in the front row closest to Xu Feng could even vaguely feel their skin being brushed by extremely subtle blade energy, producing a slight stinging sensation.
This small area seems to contain some invisible "strong winds," making it stand out from other places.
"Did you feel it?" Li Hengkong's voice rang out at the right time.
Xu Feng's sword aura vanished instantly.
He opened his eyes with regret and looked at Li Hengkong.
Li Hengkong nodded slightly: "You are a spiritual master, so you have an advantage over other blood and qi martial artists in the step of condensing sword intent."
You have just demonstrated the basic form of your sword technique.
Although still very weak, it has already begun to change the state of its surrounding environment.
Xu Feng nodded, having also felt this strange change.
He felt a strange connection with the knife in his hand and with the small space around him.
It was as if he had become the master of this space, and with a thought, he could summon that invisible sharp energy.
"Not bad," Li Hengkong nodded, "You have good comprehension. Remember this feeling."
The cultivation of "momentum" is a process of continuously refining, expanding, and deepening this realm.
He turned to everyone again, his tone becoming serious: "And when your understanding of 'momentum' reaches its peak, when you glimpse its origin, and understand the fundamental rules that support the existence of this 'momentum'—"
Is it "sharp"?
Is it to "cut off"?
Is it "annihilation"?
Or perhaps it's wind, fire, water, or air?
When you internalize these rules, to the point that your words become law and you change reality.
To achieve a single strike that unleashes a gust of wind that covers a thousand meters, or a single sword strike that ignites flames that engulf all directions.
So...
'
Li Hengkong's gaze swept over every face in the room, each one holding its breath, and he said, word by word, "You have broken through the limits of the mortal world, touched the threshold of the 'laws' or 'the Dao,' and stepped into..."
...The Realm of Star Gods!
"The artistic conception is the seed, the momentum is the trunk, and the Tao is the root."
This is the path to the highest martial arts!
boom!
These words struck like a thunderbolt, resounding in the hearts of every war god.
Many of the mysteries that had troubled them for years were dispelled, and the road ahead became clear.
So this is the path to surpassing the God of War!
Star God Realm!
These three words resounded like thunder in the hearts of all the war gods.
This is a realm that most of them pursue throughout their lives, yet remains unattainable.
Today, Li Hengkong personally pointed out the way forward for them—from artistic conception to momentum, and then to the path of law!
Looking at the fervent gazes of the crowd below the stage, Li Hengkong finally said to Xu Feng, "Go back and reflect on this carefully. You have a long road ahead of you. Don't waste your talent, and... the opportunities that await you."
He gave Xu Feng a meaningful look.
Xu Feng was deeply moved. He respectfully sheathed his sword, bowed, and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Speaker! I will certainly remember it!"
He returned to his seat, feeling that his understanding of martial arts had been completely refreshed.
Previously, my cultivation focused more on improving my blood and qi, mastering techniques, and strengthening my mental power.
Today, Li Hengkong opened a door for him to a higher level—the application of artistic conception and momentum!
This was the opportunity that allowed him to surpass the God of War!
Li Hengkong nodded slightly, no longer looking at him, and turned to face the crowd: "Today's lesson ends here."
How much you can understand depends on your individual karmic connections.
Remember, cultivating "momentum" relies heavily on comprehension and accumulation; it cannot be achieved overnight.
As soon as he finished speaking, his figure blurred and disappeared without warning, just as he had appeared, as if he had never been there at all.
However, no one left the venue immediately.
Everyone was still immersed in the shock and insights they had just gained, savoring every word Li Hengkong had said.
After class, Xu Feng silently pondered the subtle feeling of initially activating the "sword aura".
As they walked out of the No. 1 Martial Arts Hall, they followed the flow of people.
As he passed by Li Wen, he saw that the other man was simply measuring the ground with his head down. After a moment of surprise, he asked, "Brother Li, what are you doing?"
Li Wen casually said, "Oh, feel how far my current potential energy can spread."
Xu Feng was speechless.
He suddenly remembered that he had noticed the unique aura surrounding Li Wen when he sparred with him earlier.
The other party called it "harmony between man and nature".
At the time, Xu Feng didn't think much of it, but later, after he developed his own inner world, he realized that the feeling of being one with heaven and earth that he experienced when activating his inner world was similar to Li Wen's so-called "unity of heaven and man," but they were completely different things.
Looking back now...
This is definitely the power that Li Wen comprehended!
The other party had already grasped the essence of "momentum" at that time!
Depend on.
Is this what genius is?
Xu Feng shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
I should just take things one step at a time, and thinking too much is pointless.
But not far from the venue, at a relatively quiet corner of a corridor, he saw a familiar figure standing with his hands behind his back, gazing out the window.
A dark gray cloth robe, a simple yet dignified figure, and a unique aura that seemed to blend seamlessly with the heavens and earth.
Speaker Li Hengkong?!
Xu Feng's heart skipped a beat, and he instinctively slowed his pace.
They even hesitated whether to step forward and greet them.
Didn't the speaker just leave?
How did I end up here?
Seemingly hearing his footsteps, the figure slowly turned around, revealing Li Hengkong's face.
His gaze seemed less expansive than it had been in class, and more... indescribably scrutinizing.
"Xu Feng".
When Li Hengkong spoke, his voice carried a unique air of authority and depth.
"This junior is here."
Xu Feng quickly bowed, though a hint of doubt remained in his heart.
But he dared not be the slightest bit negligent in the face of this strongest man on Earth.
"The rudimentary form of sword technique you just grasped has a decent foundation."
However, by focusing too much on the "fierceness" of the wind, we neglect the essence of the wind, which lies in its formlessness and fluidity.
Too much force and brute strength will break it.
These words hit the nail on the head, precisely the hurdle that Xu Feng had vaguely sensed but failed to clearly grasp when he was practicing the Xunfeng Blade and even trying to condense the blade's power.
His doubts were instantly dispelled by this insightful guidance, and he solemnly said, "Thank you for your guidance, Councilor Huang!"
"I am of limited understanding; I humbly request the councilor's clarification."
"Hmm," Li Hengkong nodded slightly, seemingly quite pleased with Xu Feng's respectful attitude, and continued, "The power of the wind can be both strong and gentle, both gathering and dispersing."
When they gather, they can destroy cities and fortresses; when they disperse, they can penetrate everywhere.
You—uh, um? What did you call me?
Xu Feng was somewhat amused and exasperated, and said helplessly in a low voice, "Councilor Huang, you..."
'
"what?"
The placid expression on Li Hengkong's face instantly crumbled.
Instead, Huang Zhong's signature smile, tinged with a hint of frivolity and surprise, appeared, and he shifted slightly, reverting to his original appearance.
"Boring, really boring!" Huang Zhong clicked his tongue and shook his head, looking Xu Feng up and down. "I've learned 99% of that old man Li's arrogant 'I'm the best in the world' attitude."
I even simulated the vibration frequency of the particles in the surrounding space when he breathes.
How did you figure that out, kid?
Is a spiritualist's intuition really that unreasonable?
Xu Feng broke out in a cold sweat; this Councilor Huang's description of Speaker Li was truly...unique.
He cupped his hands and said, "This junior dares not presume to speak ill of the Speaker."
I just felt... that Speaker Li shouldn't have taken the initiative to come to me, and besides, his gaze was slightly different.
"Fine, fine, you win."
Huang waved his hand, not dwelling on it too much, and then asked.
"By the way, what do you think about the movement technique I told you yesterday?"
Have you bought "The Nine Turns of the Dragon"? It's a great book for building a solid foundation.
Don't be too ambitious and go straight to "Shadow Walker" and "Void Escape".
Looking at that stuff now won't do you any good; it'll just confuse you.
Hsu Feng honestly replied, "Reporting to Councilor Huang, the secret manual was delivered last night."
The junior has been studying diligently through the night and has already begun cultivation.
"Oh? You've already started practicing? How does it feel?"
Isn't it much more complicated than "Shifting Stars and Changing Constellations"?
Have you memorized the nine power-generating techniques and blood circulation routes of the "Basic Steps of the Swimming Dragon"?
It's normal to feel awkward at first; with more practice... you'll get used to it.
Huang Zhong, with an air of "I've been there," casually offered his advice.
Xu Feng nodded and then raised a question he had encountered during his cultivation: "Thank you for your concern, Councilor. I have already mastered the basic steps."
However, when I tried to connect the "reverse scale protrusion" and "returning dragon unloading" in "Three Turns of the Dragon", I always felt that the Qi and blood were slightly stagnant at the moment of the transition between the Foot Shaoyin Kidney Meridian and the Foot Jueyin Liver Meridian.
This resulted in a slight decrease in the smoothness of the body movement transitions.
Perhaps the younger generation has misunderstood the mantra, "Like a dragon soaring, adapting to changing circumstances"?
Huang Zhong's casual expression froze instantly, and the words he was about to say got stuck in his throat.
A flicker of disbelief and astonishment flashed in his flippant eyes.
Overnight?
Not only have you mastered the basics of "Nine Turns of the Dragon," but you've also studied it to such a profound degree?
They even began to touch upon some of the key connection issues that require a lot of practice and experience to detect.
What terrifying comprehension and cultivation speed!
"You... really only started cultivating last night?"
Huang finally couldn't help but confirm.
"Yes, the manual was delivered around 11 p.m. last night."
Xu Feng answered cautiously, "Well, it's probably because my previous experience was quite solid that I was able to grasp things so quickly..."
With his proficiency panel and previous perfect-level movement techniques as a foundation, his faster progress was, in his view, a normal accumulation.
However, isn't it a bit much to cultivate to this level overnight?
"Oh, I see." Huang Zhong said with a look of sudden realization.
Xu Feng immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Huang Zhong's next words made Xu Feng break out in a cold sweat: "Heh, do you think I'm a fool?"
He grabbed Xu Feng's arm: "Don't try to fool me, kid! Although 'The Nine Turns of the Dragon' is an S-level novel, its content is profound and extensive."
Many people spend one or two months just learning the basic steps! You...you demonstrate it for me! Let's start with the basic steps!
"Here?"
Xu Feng looked around the corridor. Although there weren't many people, it was still a public area.
"Come with me."
Huang Zhong immediately led Xu Feng into a separate training ground nearby.
There was no one in the room; you needed to swipe a card to enter.
Once inside the arena, Xu Feng didn't hesitate any longer. He took a deep breath, moved, and glided out like a fish.
His steps were nimble and his figure elusive, displaying the "Basic Swimming Dragon Step," the introductory footwork of the "Nine Turns of the Swimming Dragon."
O
It's already quite good, with smooth and natural transitions.
Immediately afterwards, he exhaled slightly, his body suddenly accelerated, and he made an extremely tricky turn.
It is the first turn, "The Hidden Dragon Emerges from the Abyss".
Then came a series of footsteps, leaving behind afterimages, marking the second turn, "Dragon Shadow Tracking".
Finally, he channeled his strength into his toes and suddenly changed direction at a right angle, defying common sense.
With his clothes fluttering in the wind, it was the third turn, "The Dragon Appears Suddenly in the Clouds"!
Although it is still a bit rough around the edges in some details of the transformation of Qi and blood and the coordination of mental power, and the power burst is also slightly insufficient.
But that posture, which perfectly combines form and spirit, and that accurate grasp of the essence of movement, clearly shows that it has reached the level of "proficiency," which is something that cannot be achieved in a day!
Huang Zhong stared wide-eyed, muttering to himself: "A monster... truly a monster!"
From which remote corner did Old Li pick up this freak?
This comprehension... it's like he was born to cultivate movement techniques!
