Chapter Nine: Daily Life in the Super God World (1)
A beautiful and strikingly cold face, exuding a sense of heroism that rivals that of men. The deep burgundy hair is particularly eye-catching. However, at this moment, the girl's complexion is pale, evoking a sense of pity that is hard to ignore
Suddenly, a dagger appeared, glinting with sharpness, and shot towards Xu Yi; this change occurred unexpectedly.
"Wow," the girl spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted, losing consciousness
Is there spiritual power in the air of the Super God World
Tap, tap, tap
Ha!
"What, blind person?" Xu Yi did not react.
The red-haired girl stared at Xu Yi with a fierce gaze, as if she wanted to devour him, and finally said resentfully, "So you are not blind!"
Ha! At the perfect moment, Xu Yi could not help but let out a soft chant, striking down with a palm towards a small stone pillar on the ground.
The practice of martial arts involves maintaining the internal energy of the body without allowing it to exchange with the external environment, striving for a unified force. However, if this energy is depleted, it can lead to profuse sweating, causing the vital essence of the body to be instantly exhausted, and in severe cases, it may even result in death
However, there was not just one dagger; three daggers flew in from different directions, forming a triangular encirclement, seemingly sealing off Xu Yi's escape route
Whoosh
After exchanging several moves, the girl seemed unwilling to stop. Xu Yi also grew somewhat impatient. When the girl launched a straight punch once again, he directly employed the Shunshen Palm from Bagua Zhang. With a technique akin to Tai Chi's use of four ounces to deflect a thousand pounds, he maneuvered like a nimble serpent around the girl's arm and struck her chest with a palm, sending her staggering back
Soon, Xu Yi discovered that strands of gray air were flowing between his internal organs, moving towards his limbs and bones, ultimately circling back to the Ren and Du meridians, and returning to the inner alchemical elixir located beneath his navel, merging into it.
The more proficient he became in these eight postures, the more they flowed from the heart. Xu Yi was completely immersed, undistracted, as if he were a martial arts master narrating his own martial way
Is it... is it the differences in the world
What a pleasant surprise! Xu Yi thought to himself
Familiar with the stance of Bagua Zhang, each move was executed in an orderly manner. Among the many martial arts, Xu Yi favored Bagua Zhang precisely because of its ever-changing nature; however, when it comes down to practice, there are only eight postures, and these eight postures can vary in different ways.
To avoid being too astonishing, Xu Yi only ran for one hour before stopping. At this time, quite a few people had already arrived at the playground, all coming for their morning exercises.
Xu Yi silently practiced, suppressing his restless heart, his mind as calm as still water
Xu Yi's eyes lit up, as if he had found the crux of the problem. In the world of dragons and snakes, there is not a trace of spiritual energy from heaven and earth in the air. Therefore, the martial artists in that world possess an extremely high level of martial arts, yet they ultimately remain as mere physical beings, unable to transcend. After a hundred years, they will inevitably turn to ashes.
Everything returned to normal, and Xu Yi resumed his previous life. In fact, he longed to return to the carefree days of the past, but the three years spent in the world of dragons and snakes had subtly changed him.
Upon returning to the dormitory, Wang Dazhi was still sound asleep, showing no signs of waking up. After Ge Xiaolun left, one bed was vacant, and the space in the dormitory opened up considerably. Xu Yi had purchased many books on human medicine, and during his free time, he would study them when he had nothing else to do
The practice of martial arts fundamentally revolves around the cultivation of breath. During physical exercise, the energy within the body continuously interacts with the external environment through the pores of the skin, facilitating respiration. Therefore, such forms of exercise do not yield significant results; at most, they serve to strengthen the body and enhance endurance
A rapid sprint, accompanied by the intense pounding of shoes against the ground, conveys a seemingly chaotic yet rhythmic sound of footsteps
A trivial skill! Xu Yi scoffed with disdain, simply closing his eyes. His body shifted slightly within a mere fraction, effortlessly evading what appeared to be an unavoidable attack
A delicate shout was heard; judging by the voice, it should belong to a young woman. Xu Yi had his back to the girl and, at this moment, still had his eyes closed, seemingly with no intention of opening them.
Is this considered internal energy? Or primordial energy? Or celestial energy? Xu Yi found it quite difficult to explain, after all, he practiced internal martial arts, focusing on internal strength. The world where his ancestors resided was already in a post-magic era, lacking the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and a situation like his had never occurred before.
"You cannot blame me; it was you who made the first move." Xu Yi spoke first, completely shifting the responsibility.
Have I overlooked something
In the era of the Star River, one hundred years later in the world of dragons and snakes, a collision and explosion of alien technology occurred. Human scientists developed a drug called "Essence of Sun and Moon," which can enhance the life level of martial artists. The main component of this "Essence of Sun and Moon" is a type of celestial spirit stone from an alien planet that contains "spiritual power".
Xu Yi did not even glance, merely twitching his ears slightly and tilting his body a bit, thus evading the dagger.
Although I possess the ability to channel my strength into a refined form, allowing my hidden energy to surge three inches into the air, traditional martial arts do not equate to the fictional internal powers depicted in wuxia, which can truly harm from a distance. Moreover, the act of splitting gold and shattering stone is fundamentally rigorous. The power of hidden energy, when projected away from the body, would undoubtedly diminish by at least a hundredfold; how could it possibly create a gap in that stone pillar? Xu Yi was perplexed, gazing at the suddenly appearing crack with confusion.
If this continues to improve, defeating those gods and angels would not be an impossible task. Xu Yi seemed to have developed an illusion, a ridiculous thought of wanting to stand shoulder to shoulder with the gods of this world. This was the illusion created by a sudden increase in strength, a manifestation of self-inflation
At this moment, Xu Yi opened his eyes and clearly saw the appearance of the person who had arrived
... ...
It turned out that a slight crack had actually appeared on the surface of the stone pillar located about three to four zhang away, although it was very small, it was still noticed by Xu Yi
Xu Yi felt a gust of wind from a punch rushing towards him, and instinctively, he dodged to the side. However, the assailant showed no signs of stopping, and another strike followed. Once again, Xu Yi easily evaded the blow.
Xu Yi changed into a different outfit and arrived at the rooftop of the dormitory building. This rooftop is an open space, usually devoid of people, which has saved Xu Yi a lot of trouble in practicing his national martial arts.
Early in the morning, before dawn, Xu Yi began jogging on the one-thousand-meter playground. With his current physical condition, he could run tens of thousands of meters continuously without feeling tired; at most, his face would just turn a little red, and not a single drop of sweat would fall.
The so-called Taiji gives rise to the two principles, the two principles give rise to the four phenomena, and the four phenomena give rise to the eight trigrams. Ultimately, everything is rooted in the two characters of Yin and Yang
"Eh, how is this possible?" Xu Yi discovered something
Xu Yi felt somewhat incredulous, and thus fell into a meditative state. He sensed the changes in his body; with his level of internal alchemy, he was already able to introspectively observe the organs and tissues of his body, including the five viscera and six bowels, bones, and flesh, making it easy for him to perceive the changes within.
In the next two days, Xu Yi completely went mad, desperately absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to strengthen himself. He could feel that his realm had not improved, but the power of each move he executed was at least doubled compared to that in the Dragon and Serpent World
Double Change Palm, Single Change Palm, Follow-through Palm, Turning Palm, Back Palm, Lifting Yin Palm, Rubbing Body Palm, Kneading Body Palm
The air was filled with the sound of explosions, resembling the distant rumble of thunder. The fierce wind howled, lifting massive clouds of dust from the ground, as if a blower were continuously stirring it up
