Section 7, Qualification Issues
However, no matter how much Jon practiced, he could not strike twice in the same short span of time
Who is the South China Sea Crocodile God
As a person from the Ming Dynasty, Tian Boguang was much more unfortunate than Qiong En. He had never read the overwhelming online novels, so he had no mental preparation for time travel. Upon arriving, he was bewildered and did not understand what was happening. Naturally, he was also unfamiliar with magic and fantasy, and at one point, he even doubted whether he had arrived in the hell of the Rakshasas.
Jon is interested in both of these things; martial arts can be used to become powerful, and the art of seduction can be used to establish a harem, which is exactly what he desires. Unfortunately, the old man came over and scrutinized him from head to toe. Just as Jon was beginning to suspect whether this lecherous man had any tendencies towards BL, Tian Boguang let out a heavy sigh
To put it simply, the old man is a person from the Ming Dynasty. More precisely, he is a lecher from the Ming Dynasty
Since the swordsmanship could not be mastered, he turned to practicing fist and foot techniques—yet the results were still disappointing. Qiong En once again demonstrated his poor martial arts talent. Tian Boguang was known for his swordsmanship, and his skills in fist and foot techniques were not particularly remarkable. Given that the master was not a wise teacher and the disciple was far from being a talented student, the outcome was, as one might expect, predictable.
Tian Boguang is a lecher, and he is also a highly skilled lecher. If the accounts in Jin Yong's "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" are to be believed, then Tian Boguang would be considered an above-average expert in the martial arts world of that time, and he might even be classified as a first-rate master, though certainly not a super first-rate one, as he was turned into a eunuch by the monk Bu Jie.
Of course, Jon also forgot to tell him that Yilin is not only a nun but also a beautiful nun. It is likely that if he heard this additional information, he would no longer care about any bad luck or misfortune.
The reason for the lack of practice is actually quite simple: it is not due to unwillingness, but rather inability
Oh, no, no, I just wanted to ask if you know Linghu Chong
If one does not use internal energy to penetrate but instead relies on external force to strike the acupoints, it will only result in injury without achieving the true effect of acupoint manipulation
It is somewhat fortunate that Qiong En's proficiency in lightness skill is barely commendable, primarily due to Tian Boguang's effective teaching. To be a notorious thief, one does not necessarily need to possess high internal strength or swift swordsmanship, but if one's lightness skill is poor, one can only await a fate of lying dead in the streets. Throughout history, which renowned thief was not a master of lightness skill? Tian Boguang has a nickname, "Wandering Alone for Thousands of Miles," which clearly indicates his expertise in lightness skill, far superior to the likes of "Flying Over Grass" and other third-rate titles. Throughout history, which renowned thief was not a master of lightness skill? Tian Boguang has a nickname, "Wandering Alone for Thousands of Miles," which clearly indicates his expertise in lightness skill, far superior to the likes of "Flying Over Grass" and other third-rate titles.
He is indeed a notorious lecher, and a well-known one at that, so famous that even modern individuals like Qiong'en, who live hundreds of years later, are aware of him
In summary, the study of martial arts, while not a complete failure, has indeed yielded unsatisfactory results. Tian Boguang was naturally furious, fuming and glaring, yet he found himself helpless. He could only order Qiong En to memorize the internal cultivation methods and the formulas for the techniques, hoping that one day he would suddenly gain insight like Guo Jing.
The origins of the old man are more complex than Jon could have imagined, or rather, he guessed the first half correctly, but did not anticipate the latter half
As for acupoint striking, it can be considered that I have not mastered it. This is because acupoint striking requires not only a thorough memorization and recognition of the major acupoints throughout the body, but more crucially, it involves the ability to channel internal energy into the body, sealing off the meridian flow near the acupoints. Qiong'en's progress in internal martial arts is exceedingly slow, and his internal energy can be said to be virtually nonexistent, making it impossible for him to seal the acupoints.
Linghu Chong? The old man thought for a moment, "The eldest disciple of Yue Buqun from the Huashan Sect? He has been well-known for a long time, but I have never had the opportunity to meet him. I have heard that he has a good capacity for alcohol"
In the era in which Qiong En lived in his previous life, there were probably not many who had not heard of this name
"This indicates that your aptitude for martial arts is insufficient," the old man sighed. "It's a pity that I possess a wealth of skills, and after much difficulty, I finally found a disciple, only to discover that he is utterly useless."
Because Tian Boguang is now a completely powerless person with no martial arts skills
However, these are not the worst of it
As a libertine, what is the highest ideal and goal in life? Clearly, it is the legendary "Wielding a stick to roam the world, saving the world with love," or more simply put, it is to experience all the beauties of the world.
"How?" Jon asked
Pah! The old man spat, "How could I possibly know a nun? What bad luck!"
Essentially, it can be confirmed that this Tian Boguang is indeed the same Tian Boguang from "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer." However, for some unknown reason, this lecher, who was originally destined to encounter the beautiful nun Yilin, then meet Linghu Chong, and ultimately, unfortunately, cross paths with Master Bujie, resulting in him being castrated with a single stroke, has instead traversed to this fantastical magical world before any of that could happen
No, he is also a lecher, equally as infamous as you... No, of course, he is not as famous as you.
Forget it, "Tian Boguang became angry, "let's not practice this for now, let's focus on internal skills first"
The only issue is that there is not a shred of practical experience; everything remains at the level of theoretical discussions. In other words, Jon now knows eighteen methods to help a woman achieve orgasm in one minute, but he has not practiced even once
"Which Tian Boguang?" The old man puffed his beard and glared, "Is there another Tian Boguang in the world?"
Although Tian Boguang said that due to his poor internal strength, he lacks endurance and would certainly be exhausted like a dead dog after a long-distance sprint, as long as he possesses short-term explosive power, it is sufficient for escaping in a critical moment or withdrawing from the battlefield. If he were truly pursued relentlessly and attacked, he could only consider himself unfortunate
Because his name is Tian Boguang
It is actually quite simple, just as Jon had anticipated: he wanted to take Jon as his apprentice
"A young nun from the Hengshan School," Qiong'en explained
Who is Yilin
Thus, what he can teach Jon are two things: the first is martial arts, including sword techniques, boxing, internal skills, acupoint striking, and lightness skills; the second is his primary skills as a lecher, commonly referred to as the art of seduction.
It is said that internal energy is the foundation of martial arts; as long as one masters internal energy, learning other skills will become much easier. Qiong En naturally agrees with this. Tian Bo Guang is not particularly skilled in internal energy, but he is nonetheless a well-known figure with a solid foundation. Qiong En spent a week memorizing the breathing techniques and familiarizing himself with the verses that resemble folk songs and humorous poetry. He began to practice sitting meditation, allowing the true energy to circulate through the microcosmic and macrocosmic orbits.
"Hello, hello," Qiong En naturally had to protest, "Who are you calling useless? So what if the occipital bone is not high? Do you think you are the South China Sea Crocodile God?"
Well, let us not discuss the tragic fate of Tian Boguang for now, but rather see what he intends to do.
"Tian Boguang? Hetushu.com?" Qiong En was almost dumbfounded at that moment, "Are you really that Tian Boguang?"
This is truly heartbreaking
***
This time, Tian Boguang was right again. Qiong En's not-so-high occipital bone indeed destined him to be unsuitable for martial arts training. According to the old man, a person of average aptitude should be able to sense qi after practicing for half a month. He himself, back in the day, felt a "faint sensation of a warm little mouse scurrying around inside his body" after just seven days of training. As for Qiong En, he practiced for a full three months and only barely managed to feel the so-called "qi sensation," which was likely a result of self-hypnosis.
In other words, Jon is not even as capable as an average person; if placed in a martial arts novel, he would likely be a character of inferior quality compared to Guo Jing
In summary, Jon, who performed poorly in martial arts training, displayed an astonishing talent when learning the essential skills of a rogue. In less than two years, Jon had nearly mastered all the abilities of Tian Boguang, whether it was concocting aphrodisiacs, flirting techniques, or how to sweet-talk and deceive young girls, including skills in disguise and transformation; all these tricks became second nature to him.
Indeed, like Jon, the old man also traversed from China; however, the difference lies in the fact that Jon's original nationality is the People's Republic of China, whereas the old man hails from the Ming Dynasty
In summary, the old man believed that Jon was not a good candidate for martial arts training; however, adhering to the philosophy of treating a dead horse as if it were alive, he still imparted all that he had learned to Jon as best as he could
Do you know Yilin
What is the matter now
Jon listened in silence, a secret smile playing on his lips. In truth, this was not due to his extraordinary talent in the art of divination; rather, it was a reflection of Tian Boguang's lack of experience. In this world, humans are generally taller and develop earlier than those on Earth, and certain aspects are naturally larger as a result.
The most formidable skill of Tian Boguang, as recorded in "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer," is his lightning-fast swordsmanship. The old man boasts of this himself, claiming that at his best, he can deliver seven strikes in an instant
Your occipital bone at the back of your head is not high enough
Another unfortunate aspect is that he is directly possessed, unlike Jon, who is reincarnated and starts as an infant, having ample time and opportunity to learn from the beginning
Indeed, there was such a saying in China in the past: encountering a nun is considered bad luck, especially among those who travel the rivers and lakes. Qiong En did not know how this saying originated; perhaps it was intended to protect the nuns, deterring others from infringing upon them. However, over time, this belief has become deeply ingrained in people's minds, and Tian Boguang clearly subscribes to it as well
However, classmate Tian Boguang, having crossed over, has become a man over seventy years old. Qiong'en even doubts whether he has become impotent. He possesses a strong awareness of crime, yet has essentially lost the ability to commit it—what could be more tragic for a lecher than this in the world
Although Jon felt that the height of the occipital bone at the back of his head had nothing to do with martial arts talent, it turned out that the old man was seemingly right this time; Jon was indeed not a martial arts prodigy
Fortunately, it seems that the art of seduction has nothing to do with the occipital bone. Jon has learned quite quickly, indicating that he is naturally suited to be a libertine. Tian Boguang also remarked on this; after inspecting Jon's equipment, he clicked his tongue in admiration, stating that at such a young age, having such dimensions is extraordinary, far surpassing anything he has ever seen.
