Chapter 6, The Importance of Genes

There is no need to rush; once the training is thoroughly completed, the next step in cultivation will be undertaken during the "refinement of impurities" phase. Wu Yuan made this decision

In my previous life, I was nearly thirty when I finally reached the pinnacle of martial arts in the federation. Looking back on my youth, I took many detours.

The reason for allocating four thousand taels to the clan leader Wu Qiming is that Wu Yuan is aware that this sum of silver is not entirely dependent on himself

Or, should I choose a waterfall? To harness the power of the waterfall's impact? Wu Yuan pondered

That General Xu is willing to provide five thousand taels of silver, which is sufficient for the needs of cultivation, and naturally there is no need to get involved in the murky waters of the Cloud Martial Hall

"Money is sufficient as long as it is enough." Wu Yuan had a broad perspective: "If I keep it all to myself, even if the clan leader does not express it openly, over time, he is likely to feel dissatisfied in his heart."

For Wu Yuan, morning exercises at the martial arts academy are merely a waste of time, yet he has patiently endured them to avoid drawing attention

Just like the tiger of a previous life, there is no need for training or physical combat to effortlessly slaughter the warriors among humans

In my previous life, I rapidly mastered such martial arts skills by relying on the irregular gravitational changes of the 'Gravity Room.' Wu Yuan pondered: 'But now, there is no such advantage.'

Martial Arts Pinnacle

At the peak of Wu Yuan, his own strength could only erupt to over 20,000 pounds, and even at the third level of strength, it was merely around 70,000 to 80,000 pounds of immense power

However, ultimately, skill is an extension, and the body is the foundation. Just like Wu Yuan, no matter how high his skill, his strength cannot exceed three levels, and at most, he can exert a force of ten thousand pounds at that moment

Having arrived in this world for over a month, Wu Yuan had only two thoughts in his mind

And now, the patriarch's feelings towards me are likely more of guilt; given his temperament, he will naturally seek other ways to make amends

... ...

Refining strength, that is, tempering one's flesh, tendons, membranes, and bones, to reach the limits set by one's innate genes

If it were not for the Wu family leaving the city, and if the Wu clan were not a prominent family in 'Nanmeng Fucheng', would General Xu be so willing to part with a large sum of money?

In my previous life, although I was an 'Eighth-Rank Warrior', to elaborate, I had not even mastered the tendons and membranes, and I was far from achieving great strength in my training

Above the utmost strength lies the balance of hardness and softness

"Calculate the time, Mother is about to wake up, it is time to go back." Wu Yuan sheathed the knife and secured it to his waist.

After morning exercises, the lower-level and intermediate-level disciples participate in martial arts classes

the higher-level third-grade martial artist

Although there is no external environment from a previous life, the vast land of the Central Plains possesses its own unique alchemical practices that can assist in the cultivation of martial arts

Wu Yuan packed away the clothes and shoes he had changed out of, and with a light leap, he slipped along the eaves into another alley. He then walked onto the main street, disappearing into the crowd

Wu Yuan swiftly tore off his outer garment and quickly changed into a brand new pair of leather boots from his backpack

Practicing cleansing involves a process that works from the outside in, reaching the lungs and internal organs, thereby strengthening and invigorating them. The highest state of this practice can be described as 'internal observation,' which can almost be referred to as 'washing the marrow and changing the blood.' This truly benefits longevity, ensuring freedom from ailments.

Wu Yuanzhao's face showed a slight change, with a faint scar appearing on his right cheek

The skills are terrifying; a needle or a pen can become a lethal weapon

The city of Jiangmeng Daze is surrounded by numerous rivers and mountains, making it difficult to find waterfalls suitable for martial arts training.

In Wu Yuan's view, the classification of the nine ranks of martial arts is not particularly scientific

Other martial arts masters, even if they are stronger than Wu Yuan, are only limited in their strength

The advanced disciples then dispersed, each taking their own course of action. Some went to the 'Combat Room' for practical training, while others headed to the 'Strength Room' for physical conditioning

Yi Gu! Wu Yuan controlled the strength of his entire body, causing his limbs and bones to tremble slightly. Remarkably, his entire person suddenly shortened by a segment, with his arms and thighs also shortening correspondingly, and his cheeks slightly swelling as well

Enter an empty alley

The first is to transcend past lives and reach the pinnacle of martial arts

"Practicing the dirty without practicing strength will always lead to dissatisfaction; practicing martial arts without practicing skills will result in a lifetime of emptiness!" Wu Yuan is very clear about this

Even if someone discovers Wu Yuan's signs of practicing martial arts on the riverbank, it would be difficult to trace his comings and goings.

"This outfit and these boots, I have never revealed them in front of others, and they are somewhat ill-fitting. I suppose, even my mother would not recognize me." Wu Yuan murmured to himself

Until the interstellar era, the rapid development of life sciences and the revival of martial arts, based on big data, ultimately led to the formation of "The Optimal Solution for Martial Arts" and the establishment of the three realms of martial arts. As one of the editors of the sixth edition of "The Optimal Solution for Martial Arts," Wu Yuan is naturally well-acquainted with all of this

With a loud shout, another horizontal slash sent a powerful gust of wind that caused the sand and stones on the ground to fly violently to both sides

One can only find a way to rely on the natural forces. Wu Yuan's gaze fell upon the Nanlong River not far away

"If it were equivalent to starting over, but with the body's genes enhanced by a full ten times, what level would ultimately be reached?" Wu Yuan's heart was filled with anticipation

After having breakfast, Wu Yuan bid farewell to his mother and younger sister, and headed to the martial arts academy to participate in the morning practice

In this life, it is the same; ordinary people, without training, can still possess a strength of a thousand pounds in adulthood

Second is to ensure the health and well-being of family members

In ancient Blue Star, this was known as external martial arts, with terms such as Golden Bell Shield, Iron Cloth Shirt, and Eighteen Falls of Clothing all belonging to the category of 'strength training'

With the protection of the Wu family, the family members will be safer, allowing Wu Yuan to cultivate martial arts with greater peace of mind

To conceal oneself, one must naturally exercise caution

The undercurrents in the river are unpredictable; practicing within them is far better than on open ground

First cultivate strength, then refine the internal organs, and ultimately achieve harmony in the muscles and bones, traversing the hundred acupoints and the microcosmic orbit, only then can one hope to unlock the ultimate mysteries of human life evolution

In the previous era, the Human Federation devoted itself tirelessly to "life evolution," expending countless resources, and martial arts experts emerged like bamboo shoots after a rain. However, the genetic ceiling remained unchanged.

As for Wu Yuan

The Human Federation has only divided the realm of martial arts into three levels: Training Strength, Training Essence, and Acupuncture Points

Good external conditions for cultivation can better promote martial arts training

Training ability: first, consider nutrition; second, consider the level of effort; and third, most importantly! Wu Yuan's eyes held a glimmer of anticipation: "Genes!"

Some martial arts masters of that time were formidable in their external skills, resembling fierce tigers in their youth. However, upon entering middle age, their physical condition rapidly declined, and by the time they reached old age, they were often plagued by illness

Like a wisp of green smoke, it drifts away from the reeds on the riverbank; if one looks closely, one will find that not a single footprint is left on the reeds

Thus, Wu Yuan continued to train himself until dawn broke, and the number of boats on the river increased.

and the legend of the Heavenly Ranking known as 'Earthly Immortal'?

In this new life, he equally yearns to witness the pinnacle of martial arts in Middle-earth and to understand just how powerful it can be

It is precisely because of a pure heart dedicated to martial arts and an immense desire for the evolution of life that Wu Yuan is able to stand out among the hundreds of billions of humans in the Federation

How to compare

Treading on snow leaves no trace, passing through grass leaves no mark; this is the most common manifestation of skills that approach the balance of 'hard and soft'

Dreaming

No matter how good the nutrition is, and no matter how hard one trains their strength and endurance, it is impossible to grow to a height of ten meters or to fly.

In Middle-earth, martial arts are divided into nine ranks based on strength. Wu Yuan casually shook his long knife, the blade gleaming fiercely, whether sweeping, chopping, or flicking... Each strike contained thousands of pounds of force, as if a series of faint explosions resonated in the air

Whoosh

Go to the Starry Sky Tower

Before the Human Federation entered the interstellar era, there were many so-called 'masters of internal power' who merely attempted to 'cultivate their insides', almost never honing their external muscle strength. The flesh on their arms and bellies was flabby and loose, making them a source of ridicule.

If it is said that Wu Yuan was previously a robust young man, he now appears to be a short and stout figure marked by scars, seemingly around twenty years old at first glance

The gravity chamber has long been popularized within the Human Federation, but in Middle-earth, this is entirely a luxury, perhaps many martial arts masters have never even considered it

Genes represent innate talent and are extremely important

Arrived from another time

Why?

However, to some extent, it can also reflect the upper limit of human physical genetics on Middle-earth, which is likely ten times that of the Human Federation

This is due to the inability to cultivate oneself without practice

Tear

In ancient Blue Star, the practice of cultivating internal energy was collectively referred to as 'internal skills'.

As the major competition approaches, the advanced disciples have begun to act freely

In this way

Martial arts skills are very important for martial artists. Some frail martial artists can easily take down more robust individuals, which is a testament to their superior skills

But in this Middle-earth world, a young boy who has not yet reached his peak in strength can casually unleash a tremendous force of three to four thousand pounds? Wu Yuan lamented: "Some fourth and fifth rank martial artists who do not even understand 'extreme strength' can unleash tens of thousands of pounds of force?"

Return home quietly and without a sound

Then, inside the martial arts academy's room, he put on two layers of inconspicuous everyday clothes and left through a side door of the academy

There is no doubt that it is the advantage of genes

Top martial arts masters can unleash tens of thousands of pounds, or even more terrifying power, solely through their physical bodies
