Chapter 5: Integrating Martial Arts, Peak of Ming Jin

Leave the Golden Eagle Martial Arts School.

Zhou Yan shook the money in his pocket, picked up the cloth bag containing the photocopied Golden Eagle Martial Arts School secret manual, and then rented a house in Lanyang County, bought a mobile phone, and daily necessities.

After returning home, I finally had time to look through the secret book.

The rental house is not big, but it has all the necessary furniture and facilities.

Zhou Yan sat down and opened the cloth bag.

There were four books spread out on the desk, one was a manual on the practice of Eagle Claw Kung Fu, which came with a special recipe for medicinal wine, one was a manual on standing still to practice strength, and the other was a prescription for a tonic.

Finally, there is a small booklet.

It looks numerous, but there are only four secret books in total, one of which is a martial arts annotation left by several generations of leaders of the Golden Eagle Sect, which contains various small techniques for practice and the operation of "strength".

The rest were just helpful to Zhou Yan.

However, the notebook on "strength" training attracted Zhou Yan's attention, and he couldn't wait to open it and read its contents.

【I have some insights today, so I am writing down my thoughts here. 】

[For a warrior, the foundation of practice is to control the body, and then to grasp various forces.

The source of strength is "Qi". Warriors can sense the changes brought about by the airflow sinking into the body through rhythmic breathing, and then manipulate the strength of the body.

[What is strength? Qi, body, and the will of a warrior all combined together form strength.]

[The degree of control over strength is also a reflection of the strength of a warrior. It was unified by Mr. Sun a hundred years ago in an effort to strengthen the country and the race, and named them: Ming Jin, An Jin, Hua Jin, Dan Jin, and Gang Jin.

At the same time, it was also absorbed by the martial arts community and is still used today, becoming the realm of martial artists’ practice. 】

[I consider myself to have an excellent talent. I became a disciple of the Golden Eagle Sect and learned Eagle Claw Kung Fu. In just two years, I have already mastered the Ming Jin, and my Kung Fu can produce a loud sound.

He had mastered the Dark Power when he was over twenty years old, but he made no further progress since then. When he was forty, although he had practiced the Dark Power throughout his limbs and bones, he still could not understand what the Transforming Power was.

Sad and lamentable! 】

[But Hua Jin is already so difficult, what about Dan Jin, which is said to be the end of martial arts and the beginning of martial arts? ]

[It should be noted that with every transformation of a warrior's realm, there may not be an overwhelming difference in physical fitness, after all, this is the limitation of the human body itself, but the transformation in skills and spirit is probably inhuman.

What is that vaguely visible Jianshenbuhuai? 】

The book is not thick, only a dozen pages.

Most of the content is a description of strength, the analysis and annotations of the martial artists' own practice, mixed with some of the author's helplessness and sadness, but it also indirectly reveals a corner of the martial arts system.

What Zhou Yan lacked was the basic knowledge of these new world martial arts.

"The power of breathing and the control of oneself, the combination of the two, the qi and blood are stimulated, and the strength is derived."

Zhou Yan's eyes flickered, as if he understood something.

His martial arts skills are at the pinnacle of the realm. He has plundered the martial arts world for many years and his accumulation of knowledge is incalculable. Now that he sees the road ahead, he immediately understands.

With a long sigh, Zhou Yan put down his notes.

Then he picked up another secret book that recorded the standing meditation. This time, the book not only contained text records, but also many pictures and various annotations left by predecessors, which were extremely detailed.

Boxing, horse stance, and strength training.

How to utilize the power of breathing, how to stimulate strength, train the body, and practice with maximum efficiency.

All the mysteries were revealed to Zhou Yan.

Zhou Yan studied the contents eagerly, and only put down the last book after a long time.

"A lot has been gained, a lot has been gained!"

Zhou Yan stood up slowly and stretched his muscles.

Stand on your feet, lower your waist and abdomen, use your spine as support, bring your arms to your sides, and push slowly.

Zhou Yan had already figured out the principle of strength when he had previously fought with Yin Qing, the owner of the Golden Eagle Hall.

Now is the time to put into practice, use what you have learned to integrate your previous skills, and then transform it into the martial arts path of this world.

Take a deep breath, and as your chest and abdomen expand, streams of air will flow into your mouth and nose.

Zhou Yan quickly held his mind and used his will to control his body to coordinate with the rhythm of his breathing. When his fists were ready, his physical condition was also adjusted to the best.

One call,
Take a puff.

Swing your arms and let your fists move as your heart moves.

Zhou Yan constantly adjusted the frequency of his breathing method, adjusting it according to his own physique, strength, and even the speed of his fist movements.

Streams of heat flow out from the inside out.

Among the thousands of martial arts techniques, fist stance is the most basic one. It is designed to stabilize the foundation of practitioners, that is, to strengthen the initial control over their own body.

You can use breathing techniques to feel the strength and then use the strength.

It is the foundation of all martial arts for warriors.

Zhou Yan's martial arts had once reached the pinnacle in the world, and his various martial arts were at the peak of their powers. Although he is now learning martial arts from scratch, his progress is incomparable to that of ordinary people.

Huhu~
The fists were blowing, and the wind was making a sound.

As Zhou Yan moved, his mind gradually expanded to his limbs and bones, and he could gradually feel the in and out of his breathing and the stretching of his muscles.

"Ok?"

Zhou Yan noticed subtle changes in himself. At a certain moment, his strength, breathing, and will seemed to overlap ingeniously and condensed into an unprecedented force.

Moreover, it seems that it can be manipulated at will.

At this moment, my heart was moved:
“Is this strength?”

An idea flashed through his mind, and Zhou Yan directed the force to his arm, then punched out.

boom!
Wherever the fist reaches, the air bursts like a drum.

As Zhou Yan swung his fist, the air flow exploded instantly, like firecrackers hitting drums, and a dull echo instantly came from the small rental house.

Then, several more punches.

What followed was a burst of rapid-fire noises, followed by scolding.

"I am, done?"

Saying sorry softly, Zhou Yan felt the outpouring of strength carefully and said with joy.

After just one time of exerting his strength and using the Ming Jin, Zhou Yan was able to grasp the basics and use it at will.

If compared with the warriors in this world, he can already release his strength with a sound, concentrate his strength, and with his existing skills, he can activate his strength at any time. He can be regarded as a master among Ming Jin warriors.

It is to truly step into the martial arts practice system of this world.

If you continue to hone your skills, you can try to master the practice of hidden power, and further develop the potential of the human body.

After such a long time, Zhou Yan finally felt obvious progress again!

Close your fists and feet and calm your breathing.

After stopping his fist and stance movements, Zhou Yan began to carefully recall the feeling of exerting force just now.

“The operation of strength is indeed amazing, but it does not seem to be too difficult to practice. As long as you are not too untalented, you will eventually achieve something through hard work and study.

The real difficulty actually lies in the subsequent understanding and practice of dark energy. How to practice dark energy throughout the body is the key."

Zhou Yan had never been exposed to the practice of strength training before, but his kung fu skills were not fake, and his ability to control his body was not low, but he had not yet been "enlightened".

Now that you have obtained the Dharma, transformation will naturally occur.

"I will first familiarize myself with the use of bright energy. If nothing goes wrong, I will soon be able to reach the level of dark energy and further advance my martial arts realm."

"Dan Jin, no, I just want Hua Jin. As long as I can cultivate to the realm of Hua Jin, I will be able to fly high in the sky and do things without so many concerns and calculations."

Zhou Yan was thinking in his mind, calculating the gains and losses.

Coming to a new world rashly, many things would naturally be restricted. His methods were still immature, so he could only make some compromises temporarily in exchange for time.

After the thought came to his mind, Zhou Yan turned around to cook food.

Practicing martial arts consumes a lot of physical energy and requires a large and reasonable amount of food, just like fitness, or even more strict.

This is another large sum of money.

Wealth, friends, Dharma and land are nothing more than this.

Lanyang County.

The setting sun was hanging low in the sky, and the weather had become a little cooler.

The flow of people on the street gradually became denser, with children playing, old people taking a walk, and people going home from get off work walking on the road one after another.

"Captain, the target has left the pharmacy."

In the crowd, there were a few ordinary-looking people communicating with each other. They seemed to be moving with the flow of people, but after half a day, they were still wandering in a general area.

It seemed as if he was staring at someone.

He would change his position from time to time, but no matter how he changed, his eyes would always follow a young man carrying a medicine bag, updating the information from time to time.

"pharmacy?"

Wang Tao frowned and said:
"Yes, the Golden Eagle Sect has a complete inheritance and must have a complete secret medicine recipe. The mission target is likely to practice Eagle Claw Kung Fu, but it may also be a cover-up.

So, Lao Qu, go to the pharmacy and check the target's purchase record first."

Looking from a distance, you can see Zhou Yanman among the crowd.

Although the pace was slow, Wang Tao could feel the special temperament of this person, which was definitely not something that ordinary people could possess. In addition, his mysterious identity
Wang Tao's thoughts flashed and he pinched his fingertips lightly.

They were from the Special Intelligence Bureau, specializing in monitoring every move in the martial arts world. They had noticed what had happened at the Golden Eagle Sect a few days ago and knew that its heritage had been forcibly plundered.

But when we checked on this person, we couldn't get any information at all.

Even if the country's huge database was used, they could only find the two words "Zhou Yan" from the most recent purchase records. Such an unusual situation naturally attracted the attention of the bigwigs above, and they had to send people to take care of it.

"Captain Wang, the target of the mission bought some Chinese medicine to replenish qi and blood from the pharmacy."

Soon, someone came to report.

"Medicine to replenish qi and blood?"

A female voice with a playful tone suddenly came from the communicator:
"The secret medicine of Eagle Claw Kung Fu is for protection. After it is prepared, apply it on the hands and wrists to effectively prevent strains and cuts. It can even help with some training techniques to develop a layer of membrane, which is powerful and powerful."

"But its ingredients are far from being a medicine for replenishing qi and blood."

"But this is interesting. Although the Golden Eagle Sect has fallen into decline, I remember that it also produced a master of the Dark Power level. Does Zhou Yan look down on martial arts that use Dark Power?"

"Or is there another option?"

People are of different levels, and so are martial arts skills.

A martial art that can only support the operation of Ming Jin and a martial art that can drive Gang Jin are certainly not on the same level.

Just like Bajiquan and Xingyiquan, they can not only cultivate the Ming Jin, but also transform the Jin into bones, form the Dan Gang, kill the enemy, and nourish the body and replenish the spirit. It has endless uses.

Who would say that these two martial arts are on the same level as Flying on the Grass and Iron Sand Palm?

There are many schools and forces in the martial arts world, but there are not many martial arts that can drive the dark power. In essence, it takes several generations of dark power fighters to continuously improve before a skill can be accumulated.

But now he is being treated like a piece of trash?
"Commander Yan, this man may have a big secret."

"We have been following this person for three days. Although he seems to have not been discovered, I am afraid he has been exposed long ago. I just don't know why there is no other reaction."

When Wang Tao heard the female voice, his expression tensed up and he quickly reported:
"My team is composed of experienced combatants. Although they are not as good as those martial arts masters, they should not be able to be detected by a Ming Jin martial artist. This Zhou Yan is not an ordinary person. Do you really want to recruit him into the Special Intelligence Bureau?"

Heroes are just novels.

In fact, most people who have learned martial arts have moments of becoming arrogant, stirring up all kinds of trouble and trying to be "chivalrous", which can lead to deaths if they are not careful.

Therefore, the Special Intelligence Bureau is also constantly suppressing the martial arts community.

However, the warriors' mobility is too high, and it is difficult to deal with them with just the visible force. In addition to the invisible force, their individual strengths far exceed theirs, so hot weapons must be used.

Therefore, warriors would be recruited in many cases, and there would be people similar to the guests and diners in ancient times.

Now, they are observing Zhou Yan for this reason.

"Do you think I took the initiative to recruit this person?"

In the communicator, Yan Yuanyi sneered:
"This Zhou Yan is not a simple person. I'm afraid he is actively trying to attract our attention in order to achieve some ulterior motive. He is an ambitious person.

But it's okay this way, after all, it's just a mutual calculation. A warrior with such a temperament can be made into a good sword. It's better to hold it in our hands than to let it go!"

With a sigh, Yan Yuanyi continued:
"Okay, since Zhou Yan has already discovered you, his methods are certainly not weak. You guys should prepare some manpower, test him, and then recruit him into the Special Intelligence Bureau."

"As for his hidden agenda, so what?"

Wang Tao suddenly looked at Zhou Yan in the crowd. He paused slightly, and a strange look appeared on his vaguely visible profile. Yan Yuanyi's murmurs came into his ears:

"No warrior can resist the power of the country."

“No one.”
