Chapter 14: Combining the Internal and External, Transforming Strength into Life

In a room in a hotel.

The light inside was dim, and the heavy curtains blocked the dazzling sunlight, making the room a little depressing.

In the middle, Zhou Yan stood with his eyes closed, deep in thought.

"Ming Jin is to exert the most direct power of the body. Various muscle stretches, bone pushes, skill changes, hard and soft boxing are all extensions."

"The hidden power is the power of breathing. It is accumulated through the human body's breathing, in line with the mind, and explodes instantly. It can also sink into the mind and sense the rhythm of the body itself."

“But Hua Jin is not the fusion of the two, the unity of yin and yang.”

Zhou Yan kept recalling his insights from his practice, his feelings about the circulation of his energy, as well as the martial arts secrets and inheritance notes he had obtained from the Songhe Sword School.

The thoughts in my mind are becoming clearer and clearer.

“Hua Jin is not the fusion of Ming Jin and An Jin, but the mutual promotion of the two, just like a screw and a nut, although they can be screwed together, they are still two individuals in essence.

When we gather we are one, when we disperse we are two.”

"The bright force is outside, and the dark force is inside. They interact with each other to produce a vibrating force that can penetrate the skin, hair, tendons, and muscles, strengthen the bones and marrow, and even penetrate the internal organs."

"This means that the transformation of energy is complete!"

Zhou Yan has been thinking about how the so-called "strength" in the world of dragons and snakes cultivates the bone marrow and even the internal organs.

After all, strength is not internal force or true qi, it is completely controlled by the mind. The best you can do is to control the stretching of muscles.

Moreover, the nerves in the internal organs themselves are very "sluggish". As for the lesions, if they cause severe pain throughout the body, the patient is already terminally ill and cannot be cured by medicine.

This kind of "delay" obviously cannot be used in spiritual practice, let alone controlling it with the mind.

Regardless of whether it is martial arts or martial arts, they are all techniques used by mortals in the martial arts era, not the methods of immortals and gods hundreds of years later, which possess extraordinary powers and inhuman strength.

After letting out a long breath, Zhou Yan slowly opened his eyes.

The battle with Li Chengwei was very rewarding. Although it only lasted a few short breaths and more than a dozen exchanges, Zhou Yan still learned a lot based on his own experience.

call,
suck~
Zhou Yan tapped his forehead with his index finger and calmed his mind.

As his distracting thoughts gradually faded away, Zhou Yan's breathing became stronger and more rhythmic.

One push, one pull.

With the chest and abdomen as the axis, the arms draw large and small circles in the air, pulling the muscles and bones of the whole body.

The obvious force is outside, and the hidden force is inside.

One inside and one outside, the two forces were constantly running, quickly consuming physical strength. At the same time, a burning sensation was felt in the skin and muscles, causing the mind to become more focused.

The final level of dark power is to train the power into the skin, tendons and muscles, so that the dark power can flow throughout the body without any hindrance. It is very flexible, can also lock the vitality in the body, and has a strong perception ability.

Truly achieve the goal of not even a feather can be added and not even a fly or insect can land.

Going one step further, one reaches the realm of transforming strength, where one can penetrate the bones, perform the power of tiger, leopard and thunder sound, and cleanse the marrow and refine the bones.

As the burning sensation throughout his body became more and more severe and his physical strength gradually began to show signs of exhaustion, Zhou Yan found that he was gradually able to control the pores of his skin and lock in his vital energy.

At that moment, I felt something in my mind and all the pores in my body closed.

In just a moment, the feeling of heat in the body was greatly enhanced, and the circulation of strength became clearer than ever before.

"This is the strength that has been trained to the skin and fur..."

Zhou Yan suddenly realized that his martial arts had improved a lot and he was not far from mastering the Hua Jin skill.

Call ~
Let out a long breath.

Zhou Yan's breathing returned to normal, his tense mind relaxed, and the feeling of fatigue also disappeared.

But Zhou Yan didn't care.

In the past, he practiced martial arts to hone his skills, improve his physical fitness, and used equipment to train his control over strength. It was much more difficult than it is now, but he had long since gotten used to it.

Take out the medicinal food that had been cooked long ago and take it together.

The bitter medicine passed through the esophagus and fell into the stomach, and then Zhou Yan started to perform another set of health-preserving boxing techniques.

Soon, the warm current spread throughout the body.

The fatigue that originally filled the whole body has been reduced by more than half, and after a while, it has almost recovered to its peak state.

"It's great, it feels good to be able to make progress."

Zhou Yan felt his physical strength constantly improving and his deeper understanding of strength, and his heart was filled with joy.

Once upon a time, he was a beast in a cage, struggling to pursue the way forward without any hope. But now the road ahead is broad and the road is ahead. How can he be willing to stop here?

"What should I do next?"

After calming down his restless mood, Zhou Yan once again began to plan his next actions and goals.

Get in touch with the Special Intelligence Bureau, get endorsement for your identity and actions, get inheritance from various sects, and then absorb the essence of the entire martial arts world into one, pushing your own martial arts to the peak.

Then collect resources, try to touch the transcendence of this world, and try to complete the "Golden Finger" mission.

This was Zhou Yan’s original plan.

But now things have changed. He had fought with the Hua Jin master in advance, obtained the inheritance from the Songhe Sword School, and escaped unscathed, exposing part of his own strength.

The next few actions require a change of mindset.

"According to the official routine, I'm afraid I've already received special attention, and my identity as a 'time traveler' may not be concealed. I'm afraid I don't have much time left to cooperate."

"In this case, we must quickly break through the transformation of energy, and then develop the potential of the body to ensure that our own strength is in an advantageous state, so that we can do things with confidence."

"When necessary, you can hide your state first, deceive everyone, and then strive for a relatively peaceful period of practice..."

Zhou Yan calculated secretly.

In the Chinese martial arts community, although Hua Jin is only an intermediate level, in fact, most people who have reached Dan Jin and above are in seclusion, focusing on spiritual practice.

In fact, most of the people walking around the martial arts world are Huajin warriors, such as Tang Zichen, Chen Aiyang, etc. They are almost the top fighters that can be seen in the martial arts world, and in fact, they are almost invisible.

As long as I break through to the level of Hua Jin, the world will be vast and I can fly freely without having to hide anywhere.

"In this case, I have to act quickly against these underworld forces..."

Although Zhou Yan has a foundation in the essence of martial arts from one world, his understanding of the martial arts of the Dragon and Snake world is still shallow, and this cannot be made up for by the inheritance of one or two forces.

Taking out his cell phone, Zhou Yan's eyes flickered.

……

Meteor Martial Arts School, in the training ground.

Boom!

Two figures flew out backwards, with bright red like rain, knocking down the disciples who were watching the fight and falling to the ground.

"Hand over the inheritance and I will spare your life."

Zhou Yan held down the restless middle-aged man, and no matter how he struggled, his expression remained calm, without any fluctuation:

"If you hesitate any longer, your disciple will be in more than just a mess."

The man under his palm was the owner of Meteor Martial Arts School, a master of the dark energy level and a master of martial arts. But at this moment, he was pinned to the ground like a little chicken, not daring to move.

The disciples gathered in a circle around him, and were restrained by the strength and ruthlessness displayed by Zhou Yan and did not move forward.

"Smiling Yama, you act like this, snatching people's inheritance everywhere. Aren't you afraid that your fellow martial artists will surround and kill you?"

The middle-aged man gritted his teeth.

Recently, there has been an outlier called Zhou Yan in the martial arts world. He attacks martial arts forces everywhere, robs and robs people, and uses various torture techniques. If anyone disobeys him, he will be killed.

Because of his cruel methods, he is also called the Smiling Devil.

He didn't care at first, but when Zhou Yan really came in front of him, he realized his powerlessness.

But, a dark force warrior who dares to do this, isn’t he afraid of being chased and intercepted?
"Whether I am afraid or not, what does it matter?"

Zhou Yan snapped his fingers without changing his expression.

A time traveler, without any special adventures, can only rely on his own knowledge and vision. Without working hard, how can he gain resources for himself?
Just from the gains in recent days, Zhou Yan has integrated a considerable amount of knowledge and has a deeper understanding of strength.

Even the practice of dark energy has gone a step further, with the strength penetrating deep into the muscles and reaching the highest level that cannot be surpassed by a feather. Even the transformation of energy is only one step away.

What's more, wherever there are people, there are conflicts.

If he was afraid of this and that, and did not dare to do anything because of concerns, how could Zhou Yan ascend to the throne of the number one person in the world?

"You are so cruel, I surrender!"

The middle-aged man looked at Zhou Yan hatefully, and no longer being held down, he staggered to his feet and took out a few secret books and notes.

No matter how unwilling he was, he was still inferior to others at this moment.

They could only watch Zhou Yan leave leisurely.

Lingshe Martial Arts School, Baili Martial Arts School, Lingzhen Dojo... For a time, the entire martial arts world, except for those top schools, was in turmoil all over the world. Everyone was in danger in the bloody storm.

……

In the countryside, in a farmhouse.

Zhou Yan calmed his mind and focused, and after a long while he came out of his meditation and adjusted his state.

It has been several months since I came to this world.

During this period, there were no less than a hundred fights of varying sizes, and the number of underworld forces defeated by him was countless.

Therefore, various assassinations and ambushes occurred continuously.

Until recently, Zhou Yan felt that his strength was flowing perfectly, his mental state was excellent, and he felt clear-headed and relaxed. So he found a safe place to cultivate his mind and prepare for a breakthrough.

Zhou Yan had already understood the concept of Hua Jin.

The reason why he had not made a breakthrough for a long time was only to consolidate his foundation and to have a deeper understanding of the circulation of strength in the body. Now, Zhou Yan had obtained and digested half of the martial arts essence of the martial arts world.

There is no need to suppress it deliberately.

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Yan stepped on the ground with his legs and drew a circle. He held the air with his arms and turned his palms over to draw a circle, as if he was pushing a huge sphere.

The power surges and emanates from the whole body.

Both the obvious and hidden forces are working at this time, contacting at an unprecedented speed, producing fleeting vibrations.

Zhou Yan knew that this was the power of transformation.

He had practiced it many times in his normal days and was already familiar with the birth and death of Hua Jin and had a basic grasp of it.

One exhale, one inhale.

Swallow and spit.

Zhou Yan's movements were not quick, but rather slow, just like old people doing boxing in the park. However, each movement was steady and powerful, stirring up large amounts of air.

A mixture of crisp and dull sounds.

His fists and feet pushed forward slowly, and gradually, all the noises disappeared. Instead, they were replaced by thunderous sounds rising from Zhou Yan's body, like the sound of drums.

Rumble~
The thundering sound of tigers and leopards cleanses the marrow and refines the bones.

Zhou Yan concentrated his mind, and the obvious and hidden forces turned into transformed forces, penetrating into the muscles and vibrating deep into the bones.

There seems to be the sound of blood flowing in my ears.

"Transformation of Strength, done!"
