Chapter 5, The First Encounter with Wang Chao
Xu Yi, I have treated you well, why do you wish to leave? Chen Xiang said, his eyes flickering incessantly
Brother Xiang, do you think such trivial matters can deal with me
If the strength of both hands is sufficient, then it would be easy to lift this large ball and rotate it around
Indeed. Wang Chao responded briefly, without saying much more, and continued practicing his boxing stance, clearly indicating that he was a man of few words
The entire large sphere resembles the blades of a fan, spinning violently.
You are exercising so early!
Xu Yi observed the young man standing in the San Ti style, practicing Baguazhang with a familiar essence
Moreover, how could this ball, which is larger than a basketball, has a smooth surface, and weighs an astonishing amount of lead and mercury, be overlooked
Xu Yi returned to his small villa to begin his arduous journey of self-cultivation
The posture appears to be textbook standard, yet it only captures the form without embodying the essence. Theoretically speaking, it is merely a hollow shell, a mere practitioner of the art.
During this period, Xu Yi has certainly earned him a considerable amount of money, and he has come to regard Xu Yi as a cash cow. However, if Xu Yi were to leave, what money would he still earn
If I can train my strength to the point of softness, achieving a balance of hardness and softness, then I should be able to master the hidden strength! Entering the realm of transformation will also be within reach. Xu Yi thought, as if he could see the path to the future.
Chen Xiang was so shocked that he could not speak. He sighed, resembling a defeated rooster, and said: "You may leave."
I am looking forward to battling with the future you
The realm of refining qi into spirit, also known as the state of dark energy, not only requires a transformation of a person's temperament and character, but more importantly, it involves the cultivation of a unique spiritual charm.
"Otherwise, can you defeat him?" Chen Xiang shouted
Even a large basketball, which can be grasped with one hand and five fingers, may not be easily handled by an ordinary person
However, lifting it using finger strength is countless times more difficult than simply picking it up.
After Xu Yi read some materials on national martial arts, he continuously became acquainted with many senior masters and also understood some of the principles within them
Xu Yi made an attempt to grasp it, feeling as if a dragonfly were shaking a stone pillar. His finger joints began to crackle with effort, yet the lead-mercury sphere showed no sign of rising.
... ...
To achieve great mastery, one must comprehend the subtle strength within the hidden energy. Once this subtle strength is unleashed, it becomes both soft and hard, with countless needles spraying from the pores like a spirit, capable of seeking out and striking at the acupoints of an opponent, varying in depth and intensity, and in weight and lightness.
Having boarded the train to City X, Xu Yi returned to Tianxing Lake after three days. At this time, Tang Zichen was no longer here.
Then Xu Yi placed his five fingers on the lead-mercury sphere and gave it a strong upward pull
As Wang Chao's ear caught a sound, he was taken aback, and the internal energy he had been holding back suddenly leaked out.
Each palm strike in Baguazhang must embody two layers of force: one is the manifest force, referred to as Yang fire, and the other is the latent force, referred to as Yin
This marks his twenty-ninth consecutive victory, which can be regarded as a peak record in the entire underground boxing community
The temperament of the fist has changed, which can be considered as the true transformation of energy into spirit
However, the Xu Yi who has just entered this circle is now completely different
Wang Chao was taken aback, not knowing when a person had unexpectedly appeared behind him, but he did not dwell on it, estimating that he had been too engrossed in his boxing practice to notice.
This lead-mercury sphere is larger than a basketball, weighing over 360 pounds, with a smooth and polished surface, and is not subject to stress
Although tired, her eyes shine brightly like starlight. Between her brows, there is a sense of determination and a spirit of perseverance
He was a young boy, looking quite ordinary, dressed in a plain tracksuit, practicing Baguazhang with precision and formality
Xiang Ge's subordinate shouted from behind, simultaneously drawing a black pistol and pointing it at Xu Yi. However, Chen Xiang seemed to be oblivious to this, remaining silent.
After Xu Yi killed Qin Haijiao, news spread rapidly throughout the underground boxing circles in Southeast Asia, and his reputation gradually grew, with many becoming aware of this internal martial arts master.
Xu Yi walked over to greet him, also wanting to see who Wang Chao really was, as it was said that Wang Chao was the reincarnation of the Primordial Heavenly King
"Stop it! You little brat, don't be so ungrateful. Brother Xiang's attempt to keep you around is a sign of respect for you, and you really think of yourself as someone important!"
Indeed, there is no scripture that is not transmitted without a master, and no scripture can be understood without a teacher
Is that boy Wang Chao? Xu Yi thought to himself, it seems that Sister Tang ultimately taught Wang Chao martial arts.
Ming Jin requires the complete coordination of the six Yangs, which means that the hands, feet, waist, legs, spine, and head must all be in harmony.
When engaging with others, one cannot control the life and death of the opponent.
Moreover, the practice of Anjin Rougong can also assist individuals in unblocking their blood vessels, alleviating ailments, and prolonging life
"Xiang Ge, you should know what I want. And now, engaging in underground fighting can no longer lead to improvement, so I must leave," Xu Yi said, his expression calm.
Xu Yi smiled and suddenly reached out like a flash of lightning, grasping towards the dark, ominous handgun, with a surge of hidden strength. In an instant, the handgun was visibly shattered into fragments by an immense force.
The ball and the stone trough create a creaking sound due to friction, interspersed with the clearer, bell-like chime produced by the sealed mercury inside as it spins at high speed
In this way, Xu Yi has completely solidified his mastery of the Dark Force realm, having achieved a minor success and comprehended the rigidity within the Dark Force. Once this power is unleashed, it is like a stampede of ten thousand horses, sweeping away everything in its path, unstoppable.
On that morning, before dawn, the sky was faintly dotted with a few stars, and a light mist lingered in the air
When reading about the methods of internal alchemy in Daoism, Xu Yi could not help but be struck by a sudden inspiration
Suddenly, sweat poured down like rain, and I was panting like an ox. Looking back, there was no trace of Xu Yi to be seen.
To achieve the dark energy, it is essential to have all six aspects of Yin, which include the heart, intention, vital energy, spirit, the five internal organs, and the meridians, all working in harmony.
After two months of brutal underground fighting, Xu Yi integrated his own martial arts with the insights gained from the realm of martial arts left by the national champion Guo Yunshen
On this day, on the arena, Xu Yi concluded his opponent with a powerful strike of the Xingyi Tiger Fist, having already beaten his opponent to the brink of death, leaving him with no fighting capability whatsoever
The Daoists fuse lead and mercury to create elixirs, why should I not draw upon the essence of Daoism to forge this lead-mercury sphere for practicing my martial arts
Xu Yi came out as usual to practice martial arts and keep fit. However, he saw from a distance that someone had already arrived at the park he frequented.
The lead-mercury sphere emitted a dull sound, vibrating only slightly in the stone trough, and did not bounce up with the force of Xu Yi's fingers gripping it.
What, you want to leave! Chen Xiang could not believe his ears, thinking he had misheard.
Xu Yi listened and turned away without the slightest hesitation. The time left for him from the system is only two years.
After Xu Yi read the book "The Classic of Baguazhang", he then looked at "The True Discourse on Xingyi", and subsequently consulted some other masters' works, feeling a deep sense of admiration in his heart
Holding a copy of "The Classic of Baguazhang" and studying it carefully, when I reached the chapter titled "The Yin-Yang Palm Techniques of Baguazhang," I found the practice methods of Baguazhang to be deeply resonant with my own experiences and thoughts.
The true essence of Xingyi lies in the harmonious integration of form and spirit. Xu Yi's previous martial arts movements, although he was trained in a formal setting and personally taught by Tang Zichen, reflect both his physical posture and framework.
This cannot be achieved through mere underground fighting; it requires accumulation and the genuine honing of time, allowing the hidden strength to permeate the entire body and circulate throughout. When the force is unleashed, the hidden energy can erupt from every part of the body.
Without hesitation, Xu Yi ordered a large lead-mercury ball for refining himself
To capture him, one must possess incredible finger strength to accomplish it. Now, Xu Yi's strength has already surpassed one thousand jin
As Xu Yi was about to leave, Hei Zi's younger brother said, "Xiang Ge, are we really just going to let this kid leave like this?"
Goodness, the difficulty of this task is rather high!
In the basement, Xu Yi approached the large lead-mercury sphere in front of him, wrapped his hands around both sides of the sphere, turned his waist, exerted strength in his arms, and with a whoosh!
The cultivation of internal strength is a gradual process that accumulates over time. Xu Yi spends his days in seclusion, practicing martial arts alone, and additionally seeks out various materials on traditional Chinese martial arts to broaden his knowledge and experience
He has shed all superficiality and found his own path in martial arts
The two sounds mingled together, and Xu Yi heard in his ears a resemblance to the sounds of tigers and leopards, akin to thunder.
Xu Yi shook his head, not caring much. There is no need to force such a fate, and then he left directly, leaving behind a sentence from a distance
