Chapter 0007 The Path of Martial Arts Begins with the Stomach

Gu Shaoze, I come to ask you! You entered the second stage of foundation building, 'Skin Tough as a Drum', a year ago. How long do you think it will take for you to reach the third stage, 'Muscles Taut as a String'?" Gu was mindful, with his hands clasped behind his back

Gu Shao understood in his heart that in this world, only one's own martial arts strength is the greatest guarantee. With average talent, one must be more diligent and work harder

For an ordinary person, the efficacy of a single ginseng root can hardly be absorbed more than ten to twelve percent, with the remaining medicinal properties wasted in vain. However, this 'Yuan Mang Tun Xing Lu' can teach you how to derive the effects of ginseng from a mere radish! Gu Ji looked at his two stunned juniors with great satisfaction, reminiscing about how he too had once found it equally incredible.

Gu Shao injured his hand while holding a bronze mirror, and opened his own status bar

The two nodded. The Gu Family Village's primary school only teaches basic reading and writing skills to children under the age of ten. For Gu Shaoshang, who possesses memories from a past life, this knowledge has already surpassed what is taught at Gu Family Village.

For an ordinary person, practicing martial arts for four to five hours a day is already the limit! Any longer and the body cannot endure! However, in reality, Gu Shaoshang practices for four hours every day, while in the mirror world, Gu Shaoshang practices boxing for sixteen hours each day! One day of his practice is equivalent to five days for others

However, Gu Shaoshang is not an ordinary person; he possesses the lifetime experience of the Xingyi master Teng Qingshan. More importantly, in the consciousness world shrouded by purple light, one cannot die at all. Otherwise, he would have been killed with a single punch while brushing against Gu's projection a few days ago.

Gu Shaoshang set down the mirror, and the various cultivation methods from the "Yuan Mang Tun Xing Lu" flowed through his mind. This peculiar technique primarily focuses on the stomach, and any internal energy circulation poses significant risks! A slight misstep could lead to internal organ damage, and ordinary individuals would not dare to practice it without a master’s guidance

Gu Shaoshang could never have imagined that this book, "The Star-Devouring Python Record," would have such an effect, leaving him dumbfounded and unable to comprehend it

Gu Shaoze scratched his scalp, unable to comprehend, "Is it really necessary to teach someone how to eat? Who doesn't know how to do that!" The two exchanged glances, perplexed.

What I just demonstrated is the Star-Devouring Record of the Yuan Python by Xiao Cheng. Standing still, I can still faintly hear the "hissing" sound within my body, as my bones and muscles resonate!

Gu Shao was shocked and saddened; even if there were reasons related to the careful accumulation of strength, the terror of this secret technique was evident

Gu Shaoshang and the other two immediately sat cross-legged on the ground after picking up the manual. This manual consists of only a few dozen pages; the first three pages teach the basic acupoints and meridians, while the later sections provide a detailed explanation of how to stimulate the stomach and intestines using internal energy and blood flow. The entire book contains only a few tens of thousands of words, and with Gu Shaoshang's memory, he quickly memorized it deeply in his mind.

Consider allowing the two individuals to step forward and provide a detailed explanation of this secret technique

The world in the mirror

Gu Shaoshang felt a jolt in his heart, recalling that among the items that might fall in the projection, there was this remarkable skill, but it was only of two-star level. What Gu Shaoshang was most concerned about was the three-star "Golden Bell Shield," which he had never paid attention to before

Source Power: 5 points

At the current martial arts hall, Grand Commander Chen Ang commented, "The path of martial arts begins with the stomach! The foundation of the five gates relies entirely on the word 'eating'!" What does this mean? The training of muscles, bones, skin, and flesh depends on refinement; without dietary supplements, even the strongest body will only suffer from various ailments! The 'Yuan Mang Swallowing Stars Record' teaches precisely how to eat!" He chuckled.

For over a hundred years, I am the only martial artist at the Destiny Realm in Gujiazhuang! Is it because I am the most talented? Of course not! There are many in Gujiazhuang whose talents surpass mine! The reason I can step into the Destiny Realm is because of this "Yuan Mang Swallowing Stars Record"!

Gu Shaoshang stood up and said, "Third Uncle, please stop keeping us in suspense! Hurry up and continue speaking." Gu Ji shook his head and let out a sigh

Gu Shao and the other person fell to the ground one after the other in the tremor, looking at Gu Ji in shock

[Martial Arts: [Basic Fist and Foot Techniques] (Level 8) [Basic Sword Techniques] (Level 4) [Tiger Roar Fist] (Level 2) [Xingyi Fist] (Level 5) [Horse Stance Posture] (Level 2) [Yuan Python Swallowing Star Record] (Level 0)]

After morning exercises every day, study the "Yuan Mang Tun Xing Lu" with me for one hour! You have all learned to read and write in your childhood education, right!

In three years, you will be sixteen! As for the five stages of foundation building, each stage is difficult to overcome. How long do you think it will take for you to establish your destiny?

The key to this secret technique lies in using internal energy and blood to stimulate one's own digestive system, allowing for the digestion and absorption of the essence of food at a speed one hundred times that of an ordinary person

With a nostalgic expression, he said, "That was my second year in the army, and I was just a lowly soldier at the third level of foundation building! On that day, the Tiger Roar Army surrounded and killed a fifth-level master of the 'Divine Sun Sect.' I was fortunate enough to find this secret manual! In just six short years, I achieved success in my destiny!"

The Record of the Primordial Python! It is a remarkable skill evolved from the extraordinary beast, the Primordial Python, as conceived by ancient masters! It is reputed to be the foundation of martial arts, unmatched in status by any divine skill or technique! As one focuses on the completion of the technique, the entire person becomes invigorated, resembling a giant python transformed into a human, creating an astonishing scene!

As he bent down, an incredibly unimaginable distortion occurred, as if all the bones in his body had vanished, leaving only the flexible muscles, and the entire person resembled a giant python coiling in front of the two individuals

With a sudden stomp of the foot, a terrifying force erupted, sending the accumulated snow and withered leaves within a radius of three zhang soaring into the sky! A punch was thrown! The air rippled as if it were water, and the fierce punch swept away the falling snow, propelling it ten zhang away! An open space was cleared within a radius of three zhang!

Gu Shaoshang (Mirror Master) Age: 10 years old

Ordinary people eat, yet they can neither absorb the essence of food nor consume much! As far as I know, I, the esteemed Commander Chen Heihu of the Tiger Roar Army, can devour an entire wild bull in one meal! Indeed, I can consume dozens of pounds of meat in a single sitting!

Gu Shao let out a breath, his heart calm as water, resembling the surface of a lake that stirs not a ripple, naturally sensing the condition of his entire body, from the organs to the smallest muscles, skin, and hair, all vividly clear! Although he did not know how miraculous the "internal vision" of the legendary life-determining martial artist was, he was confident that his own ability would not be far behind!

I ... ... '' Gu Shaoze lowered his head in despair

A broken wooden sword

The self-activated projection mirror of the heavens has been in operation for a full three months, and Gu Shaoshang has only accumulated a total of 18 source points, with 12 points manifested in "Xingyi Quan" and 1 point in "Mabu Zhuang," while the rest has been saved. However, the progress in martial arts has far exceeded everyone's expectations

Combat Power: 12

"The Record of the Celestial Python Devouring Stars? What an extraordinary skill!" Gu Shaoze exclaimed eagerly

Level Three? Gu Shaoze was taken aback, stood up, and wore an expression of reluctance. "At least three more years!"

Gu Shaozhe was still struggling to memorize, and Gu Shaoshang couldn't help but feel a sense of superiority as a top student from a past life. Gu Shaoshang checked once more and found no errors. He then entered the world within the mirror

Once one has entered the realm of this secret art, the path before them is clear before establishing their destiny; laying the foundation is merely a matter of time! With this in mind, he took out a yellowed manual bearing the title "Yuan Mang Swallowing the Stars" from behind him, after ensuring that the two swore to keep it confidential.
