Chapter 0004: War Level

This visualization method found online is truly the long-lost Thunder Sovereign Refining Method of the Baili family. What else can Baili Qingfeng say: "As long as grandfather is happy"

Bai Li Qingfeng nodded

Happy, very happy

Bai Li Qingfeng stood outside for a moment, dressed in a gray martial arts uniform, when Bai Li Ruoxue, with her delicate features and youthful radiance, stepped out, her vibrant beauty somewhat dazzling.

The three elements in unity, breaking through the threshold, what about the war level that nurtures internal energy?

After Bai Li Hong left, Bai Li Chang Kong came out and personally began to instruct Bai Li Qing Feng

Baili Changkong paused for a moment and organized his thoughts: "Ordinary people use the strength of their arms when they punch, while martial artists do not rely solely on their arms. They engage their legs, waist, and spine simultaneously to consolidate their strength into a single force, which is transmitted through the arms and delivered with impact. This is akin to utilizing the strength of the entire body, resembling a great dragon. This kind of power, in the terminology of martial artists, is referred to as 'jin.' When you are able to consolidate your own strength into a single force of 'jin,' you will have become a true martial artist."

What does this amount to? If you are willing to take on a position, the income from a nominal role can double, and the income from a substantive role is even greater. Therefore, young ones, practice diligently; the prospects of a martial arts career are not as bleak as your parents and family imagine.

First-level martial artist

No, I found it online

The night quickly passed

Qingfeng, you go stand by the post for a while, I will have a chat with your father

He tidied up his clothes, then went out, and together with Bai Li Hong, took the bus to San Shun Town outside the city

Baili Chang Kong spoke, while simultaneously calling for Baili Ruo Shui to look.

Understood, refining essence is the first level, refining qi is the second level, refining spirit is the third level, the convergence of the three flowers at the crown is the fourth level, and the five energies returning to the origin is the fifth level

Great-uncle Er is a top expert

It would be even better without dark circles under the eyes

Forty-three minutes later, the two individuals got out of the car

Bai Li Qingfeng nodded

Baili Qingfeng

Therefore, it is essential to read more books; only by mastering knowledge can one grasp the core driving force

Bai Li Qingfeng spoke slowly.

... ...

Baili Changkong slightly lowered his voice, cultivating a heavy atmosphere: "War level!"

The practice of visualization should, in theory, leave one feeling invigorated; however, upon waking the next day, Bai Li Qingfeng instead felt a sense of sleep deprivation.

I checked some martial arts information at home yesterday, and it seems that martial artists are also classified into levels? What are the first, second, third, and fourth levels? Could you tell me about it?

Great-uncle Er began his daily boasting in the vast sky of a hundred miles

The path of a hundred miles of green blades

I know that the next stage is refining the spirit to return to the void, and beyond that is the ultimate realm of refining the void to unite with the Dao

Bai Li Ruo Xue murmured softly

That is a master who has cultivated the essence of martial arts. A martial artist can give birth to the essence of their fists upon reaching the stage of refining the spirit, but those who can truly cultivate this essence are few and far between

Please wait here for a moment and do not move; I will go buy a few oranges

Sister, do not disturb your brother Qingfeng while he is practicing martial arts

During the lunch break, Baili Changkong spoke with a hint of pride: "Our lineage is somewhat renowned in Xiya. The Thunderbolt Thirty-Six Techniques, not to mention, are a first-rate body refining method, strengthening the physique externally and refining the essence and blood internally. When practiced to perfection, a single punch can possess a force of a thousand pounds. The Thunderous Breath is even more remarkable, being one of the top-notch breathing techniques in Xiya. Once mastered, it can unleash potential and help individuals break through their limits. In your grandfather's generation, countless people came to our Baili family seeking teachings, and those who wished to become disciples could line up from Sanshun to the urban area, enjoying boundless glory..."

Bai Li Ruo Xue fixed her gaze on Bai Li Qing Feng as soon as she arrived, scrutinizing him continuously. If Bai Li Qing Feng were a shy peer, he would undoubtedly feel uneasy under such scrutiny.

I have heard people say that some martial artists, with a single punch, can seemingly shatter the spirit of others even before the punch reaches them. What realm is that?

Wow, one or two thousand!?

It can be said this way, but this statement is not rigorous. A two-meter tall muscular man and a one-meter sixty slender man, both of whom have developed strength, belong to the same level of martial artist. However, do you think there is a comparability in the strength of their abilities?

Bai Li Chang Kong is somewhat perplexed

What is the practice of refining the spirit to return to the void and merging with the Dao? Such talk is nonsensical. When the essence, energy, and spirit are cultivated to perfection, one uses essence as fuel, energy as oil, and spirit as fire, achieving the unity of the three elements. This opens the mysterious gateway, giving birth to the first internal breath. From this point, one returns from the acquired to the innate, becoming pure and untainted, free from all diseases. In ancient times, this realm was referred to as the gathering of the three flowers at the crown, a state attained by grandmasters, allowing them to establish schools, traverse the world, and break through thousands of troops. In modern times ...

Bai Li Ruoshui said a word beside.

Baili Chang Kong said, glancing at the bright-eyed Baili Ruo Xue and the one who kept asking these questions, Baili Qing Feng: "You little ones should focus on mastering the basics first. If you can cultivate your strength, you will be able to secure good treatment in relevant companies. Being able to nurture your vital energy and blood qualifies you as a skilled practitioner. An ordinary strong man can easily take on ten opponents, and if you can cultivate your spirit with your energy, you will rank among the best in the martial arts community within the county and city."

Because, even in modern times, such strong individuals can still influence a war on a small scale

Every war level can be considered a stronghold of the kingdom, and even the weakest war-level national department will promptly approach you to grant you the rank of reserve major, along with a monthly subsidy of one to two thousand yuan

Bai Li Qing Feng took advantage of a brief moment to hand over the Thunder Sovereign Refining God visualization he had printed out to Bai Li Chang Kong

Very well, I shall speak with you.

No, levels four to six are referred to as the Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown, while levels seven to nine are known as the Five Energies Converging at the Origin. Furthermore, the term Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown is an ancient expression; in modern times, we refer to this level as ... ...

Bai Li Ruoxue immediately exclaimed: "So much? My father's monthly salary is only six or seven hundred."

You are right

Is it true that after the Three Flowers gather at the crown, the Five Energies return to the origin

Baili Changkong interrupted Baili Qingfeng's recounting of the glorious history of the Baili family, feeling somewhat dissatisfied. However, upon glancing at this visualization method, his eyes quickly widened, and his hands couldn't help but tremble slightly: "This, this is the Thunder Sovereign Refining Spirit visualization method that has been lost in our Baili lineage... This visualization method represents the highest profound meaning of our lineage. How could it be in your hands... Could it be that, back then, grandfather passed this visualization method to my uncle and the others?"

Is there a spider web at home

I just wanted to see what differences he has, and it seems that it is just like this now

Inside, Bai Li Chang Kong and Bai Li Hong had an unknown conversation. Eventually, Bai Li Hong walked out looking somewhat displeased. He glanced at Bai Li Qing Feng but quickly reined in his emotions and said, "Qing Feng, you can practice here for now. If you find it too tiring, it's alright to stop."

It is already noon.

After speaking, she began to practice beside me, and it was not the art of boxing she practiced, but the art of swordsmanship. Pure and charming, the combination of her swordplay and footwork appeared like a beautiful landscape.

Rising from bed with a sense of drowsiness, Bai Li Qingfeng chose a loose-fitting sports outfit and approached the mirror, where an unremarkable yet composed young man appeared before him.

I understand

According to the Martial Arts Association, refining one's strength is classified as Level 1 for martial artists, nurturing vital energy is Level 2, and the unification of energy and spirit is Level 3. These three steps correspond to the processes of strengthening the body and refining essence, refining essence to nurture energy, and refining energy to nurture spirit. As for what follows...

This ... ...

This time, there was no one practicing martial arts in the courtyard. The two of them entered the house, where Bai Li Chang Kong was already waiting.

Soon, Bai Li Hong arrived in the courtyard with fruits and some supplements

Bai Li Qingfeng appeared to be deep in thought

Baili Changkong expressed some disdain

Refining the Spirit

The classification of martial artists into first, second, and third levels is essentially of no reference significance; it is merely a mechanism devised by the World Martial Arts Association in collaboration with the government to facilitate the management of practitioners. It is merely for observation and should not be taken seriously. Some top experts do not pursue these levels, much like those master swordsmiths who would not seek technical skill certificates.

War level? Why is it called war level?

However, the doubts of Bai Li Chang Kong were soon overshadowed by the joy of obtaining the Thunder Sovereign's method of refining the spirit. After browsing through it for a moment and confirming the authenticity of this method, he couldn't help but slap his thigh and exclaimed, "Good, Qing Feng, you are truly the lucky star of our Bai Li family. As soon as we mentioned martial arts, you brought us the long-lost method of refining the spirit that has been missing for nearly a hundred years. With this method of refining the spirit, along with the ancient Thunder Beast diagram preserved by our family, the path of cultivation for our Bai Li lineage has been completed. My cultivation and that of your uncle are expected to reach new heights."

"Second Grandfather, I found an article on visualization, take a look."

Bai Li Chang Kong's face darkened: "Although I am not a top expert, I am only a little bit away from being one... just a little bit more. Why do you ask these questions? You, my child, just have a penchant for aiming high and far.
