Chapter 7: Qi reaches the whole body, and the hidden power is formed

The rental house is brightly lit.

The curtains were drawn together, covering up most of the bright light, leaving only warmth and gentleness in the room.

It was daytime and most tenants had gone to work, so the building was unusually quiet.

Wow~
Zhou Yan sat on a wooden chair and flipped through the pages of a book.

This is one of the secret inheritances of the Golden Eagle Sect. Zhou Yan had read a part of it before and understood the realm of martial arts and the practice of bright energy. Now he is studying the dark energy part in more depth.

"Martial artists practice Qi before they train their strength, and practice their body before they train their Qi.

“When the ‘Qi’ circulates throughout the body, the ‘True Qi’ will be generated.”

Zhou Yan carefully read the few records in the book, combined with his own martial arts knowledge and dozens of times more annotations, and gradually understood the true meaning.

The book basically talks about that a martial artist must first develop a strong body, and then before practicing strength, he must get used to holding his breath, that is, breathing in the air that he swallows.

Then, through various practice methods, you will become familiar with the feeling of the air flowing through your body as it passes through your body with your breaths.

Finally, hold your breath, close your pores, stimulate the inside of your body, use "qi" as the source, and burst out with strength.

This power with "qi" as its source is dark energy.

If it is combined with one's own breathing rhythm, one can stimulate the dark power anytime and anywhere without having to adjust one's breathing specifically. This means that one's martial arts has already entered the realm of dark power.

The hidden power circulates throughout the body, and any limb or bone can activate the hidden power. The power is penetrating, and the mind is alert, able to detect the slightest movement, and even feel a fly feather falling on the body.

Then you will be only one step away from achieving the state of transformation.

"I have already practiced my bright energy to its limit. I won't be able to make any further progress in the short term. It's time to start practicing my dark energy..."

Putting the book down, Zhou Yan muttered to himself.

Although Ming Jin is the foundation of martial artists, it does not mean it is easy to master. The changes in strength, the flow through the body, and the changes in hardness and softness are extremely complicated.

However, Zhou Yan had the essence of martial arts in his body, so practicing Ming Jin was not difficult for him. In just ten days, he had mastered it and reached his limit.

Therefore, it is time to go a step further.

So these days Zhou Yan has been studying the practice of dark power, from spiritual theory to the changes of qi and blood, constantly trying, and he has some ideas in his mind.

Get up and go out.

Zhou Yan walked along the path, gradually away from the bustling city, and came to a nearby park that had been abandoned for many years.

This place has been deserted for a long time and is a good place to practice martial arts.

Pinching his eyebrows, Zhou Yan calmed his mind, slowly adjusted his breathing rhythm, and felt the changes in his body caused by the air flow.

One call,
Take a puff.

As the chest and abdomen pumped, streams of warmth spread throughout the limbs and bones.

"Jinli is the manifestation of physical strength. The so-called Mingjin is a way to maximize the use of one's own strength between the stretching of muscles and bones."

As he breathed in and out, Zhou Yan's thoughts continued:

"If we go one step further, we can use breathing as the basis, secretly coordinate with the spirit, and mobilize the power inside the body, which is called dark power. When the dark power flows throughout the body and the power is released as the heart wishes, then the whole body has been 'trained through'.

That is the state where not even a feather can be added and not even a fly or insect can land on it."

"But what is the root of strength?"

In the dilapidated park, Zhou Yan stood still.

As my breathing became increasingly heavy and dense, I suppressed all distracting thoughts and felt the movement of my muscles every time I swallowed air.

It is a physical force that is different from the obvious one of Ming Jin, but it is a more subtle existence.

Huhu~
The sound of wind gradually picked up, and the grass and trees rustled.

The soft breeze passes through the sportswear, and a faint touch emerges all over the body, one inside and one outside, two forces moving in opposition.

Through the muscles and bones, through the skin and flesh.

"I see, I understand."

Zhou Yan's eyes suddenly moved, and his right hand reached out to grab the stone brick beside him. He raised his five fingers slightly and gently patted it.

laugh!
There was a dull sound.

He raised his hand and saw that the palm-sized stone brick was covered with densely packed tiny holes. With a slight force, it broke into many tiny stones with a "crack".

There are no powerful moves or exaggerated movements. Just a slight flick can kill the enemy.

Hidden power, it’s done!
"As expected, I finally know the core of Dragon Snake World's martial arts. It turns out that everything is not about strength or 'qi', but about the heart!"

Zhou Yan withdrew his hand, his expression changed:
"I originally thought that martial arts in this world was based on the cultivation of strength, climbing step by step, from the outside to the inside, and finally developing the potential of the human body, feeding back to the mind, and reaching an extraordinary realm."

“But in fact, fundamentally, starting from Ming Jin, the so-called martial arts is to cultivate the mind, and every improvement in the realm of martial arts is the growth of the spiritual level.

No wonder, no wonder! "

Zhou Yan suddenly realized.

If we were to rate the martial arts of the two worlds, the original world would be 10 points on skills and 7 points on mind, with various martial arts variations and extreme body control.

As for the world of dragons and snakes, it’s 60% to 70% skill, and 10% to heart. The truth is revealed in the details, and martial arts come to life in this tiny space!
It is no wonder that after martial arts evolved into martial arts, the strong people at the highest level would have such inhuman strength and performance, and could even avoid all kinds of disasters and have the ability to communicate with heaven.

Before, Zhou Yan was still wondering about the gap between the martial arts of the two worlds. Now that he has practiced the hidden power, he naturally understands the basics.

goo~
Zhou Yan covered his stomach with a strange look on his face and said in a weird tone: "My goodness, the dark energy consumes so much energy?"

Having just cultivated the hidden power, he was just trying it out. He condensed the hidden power and delivered the most powerful blow.

Are you feeling a little hungry now?

Of course, this was also because Zhou Yan was in a spur of the moment mood and came out to practice martial arts without eating any meals.

However, although the physical energy consumption was great when the Ming Jin was activated before, it was not so exaggerated that such a reaction was produced by just one strike.

"Yes, the use of dark energy not only involves the tendons and bones, but also the internal organs and breathing. The mind and energy consumed every time it is used far exceeds that of bright energy."

Zhou Yan thought about it and suddenly realized something. The direct power of the dark force may not be as high as the bright force, but it is extremely concealed, and it can also use the movement of the force to more deeply perceive the movement of the body and improve the ability to control the body.

The consumption will naturally be greater.

After clapping his hands to disperse the sand, Zhou Yan returned the same way and bought some food to take home.

After returning home, Zhou Yan started to get busy.

Boil water and prepare medicine.

Meanwhile, start cooking.

Practicing martial arts is an extremely energy-consuming activity, which requires various nutritional supplements and replenishing qi and blood in order to enhance physical fitness.

It is easy to find a chef, but it is extremely difficult to find one who knows how to prepare just the right medicinal food and meals for warriors.

Therefore, a martial arts master will more or less prepare his own meals without asking others for help.

In a moment, the meal was ready.

Zhou Yan chewed neither too fast nor too slow, thoroughly chewing each portion of food into crumbs for easier absorption.

After washing the dishes, the medicine soup was ready.

After resting for a while and waiting for the temperature of the medicine to drop slightly, he drank it in one gulp.

Gudong!

The medicine flowed down the throat and fell into the stomach.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Zhou Yan put his hands into his clothes, placed them on his abdomen, and shook his ten fingers, gently pressing and kneading.

This is a massage technique.

It can assist stomach activity, absorb food faster, and deliver nutrients to the whole body.

However, it is not the method of the Dragon and Snake World, but the best secret deduced by Zhou Yan from many similar methods in the original world.

Call ~
A long breath came out slowly.

After about half an hour, Zhou Yan stopped massaging. At this time, waves of warmth spread uncontrollably, moving from the abdomen to the limbs, bones, and internal organs.

Even the brain felt a little tipsy for a moment.

It felt so comfortable that I felt like I was flying into heaven in broad daylight.

However, this is not becoming an immortal, but the generation of a large amount of qi and blood, which provides sufficient energy for the body, and it is a feeling that all the muscles and bones are growing.

Previously, Zhou Yan's martial arts had reached the peak and there was no room for improvement, and his physical progress had long been minimal.

But now that I have broken through the hidden power and further developed my physical and mental potential, this feeling has naturally returned.

"The merits of a realm have their own merits. How can they be useless and without any highlights? I was wrong before."

Zhou Yan did not forget to sort out what he had learned and review it:

“Although this is the case, the martial arts ceiling in the Dragon Snake World is higher after all. There are probably more small tricks like this. One can even use hidden energy to activate internal organs to achieve higher efficiency.

The Golden Eagle Sect does not have this kind of inheritance, or they are too weak. Perhaps I need to find a new target, get more martial arts secrets, and pass on the secret teachings."

"This is a brand new world, the essence of a new system of cultivation, how can I let it go?"

After a while, the warmth subsided.

Zhou Yan opened his half-closed eyes again, clenched his fists slightly, and the slight feeling of weakness just now completely disappeared.

"It seems that I still need to plan the use of dark energy carefully, otherwise in the middle of a battle, I won't be able to use my strength, and then everything will be over!"

Zhou Yan jumped up and stood on one leg.

Using one foot as a fulcrum, lower your body and step on the inch-high protrusion on the headboard of the bed in a half-squat position.

Calm and powerful.

Zhou Yan weighs much more than an ordinary person. With the same size, the density of his muscles and bones is much higher.

But his toes stood on the small space, without any wavering.

"Not bad, try again."

Zhou Yan's eyes moved and he exerted his strength on his feet.

At the same time, use the technique of exerting force to jump back and forth on the four bumps at the head and foot of the bed.

He would switch between his left and right feet every time he jumped, and he did this dozens of times in a row without his center of gravity shifting at all. In fact, as the number of times increased, he became more and more able to do it at will.

When martial artists fight against each other, no one can fight you specifically on the plum blossom pile or in the martial arts field.

Being able to move between the bluestones on the mountainside, between the rocks on the cliffs of high mountains, or between steep mountains, this is real good kung fu and a stable foundation.

Being able to adapt to circumstances and the environment is the foundation of a warrior.

"My ability to control my body has increased again. I used to need to concentrate hard to do it, but now it's much easier. It turns out that my mind and vision are limiting my practice."

Land and stand up.

Zhou Yan kept reflecting on this.

The so-called road ahead is in your eyes. The broader your heart is, the farther your eyes can see, and the wider the road will be.

Zhou Yan never slacked off in examining himself three times a day.

Drip!

A cell phone vibrated beside me.

Zhou Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, secretly thinking that his wish had come true. He reached out for his phone and checked the latest news.

【Qingsong Park, handover information.】
