Wizard: I brought the wrong system.

Chapter 639 Cannon Hammer Fist, Iron Arm Fist, Grappling Technique

The growth of internal strength is the result of multiple factors.
From a theoretical perspective, there is so much to say.

But if we only state the conclusion, it is:
[By exhausting one's mental energy and then naturally repairing it through sleep, one can rapidly increase their internal energy to its current limit.]

The key lies in the phrase 'current limit'!
Yaro shook his head slightly.

"This method can neither help me unblock my meridians nor open up acupoints for me."

"The only thing we can do is accelerate the accumulation of internal energy, increase its strength, and stabilize the meridians that have been opened."

"The effect is limited; it still can't compare to the speed at which Baron Claire switched to internal cultivation."

The accumulation of internal strength is the easiest to understand; it simply means increasing the total amount of internal strength.

The strength of internal force has two aspects.

One is energy density.

The other is the information contained in internal force, that is, the energy changes generated by internal force in the meridians. The conjecture of 'sword way' and 'weapon way' is based on this principle.

Similar to sound waves, the higher the energy density of internal force, the more information it can store. The more information it stores, the more energy it contains, and the two complement each other.

As for stabilizing the meridians... it's not as simple as just connecting the meridians and acupoints.

Because whether it's traumatic opening (opening by magic causing damage) or nourishing expansion (forming by squeezing out life force or internal energy), it takes time for the body to recover and adapt to the existence of meridians and acupoints.

Just like getting your ears pierced, meridians are also a type of physical piercing. They also need to go through the process of scabbing, healing, and shaping before they can form a stable channel.

After expending mental energy, the body can recover faster during sleep.

"It's not exactly useless, but it's not crucial either. It just saves a little time in accumulating knowledge, but it greatly reduces personal safety. You won't need it in the short term, but you can write it down first."

The current situation is stable because Yaro's fighting power has suppressed the undercurrents. Beneath the calm surface, countless undercurrents are still lurking, so their spirit cannot be easily exhausted.

……

After getting up, Yaro washed up briefly, then ate some dried meat and went out to inspect the area.

Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened last night.

The pit that Bevin had been practicing his lightness skill had become even deeper, and the improvement from the training was very obvious. It was unclear whether it was because his internal energy had nourished his leg muscles or because he had found a way to enhance his leg strength with internal energy.

Claire has also made progress; he has already carved two martial arts techniques into the rock face.

One is unarmed combat, the other is marksmanship.

Judging from his fighting style and techniques, his unarmed fighting style should be the essence he extracted from past battles, while his gun fighting style is a summary of his experience in training soldiers.

Each martial art also has three moves, basically covering the three main directions of combat.

Then, based on the movements of each move, a route for the circulation of internal energy was designed.

Furthermore, referencing the Vajra Finger training method, it distinguishes between training methods and fighting methods.

Yaro crouched down and gently ran his fingers along the carvings on the rock face.

The lines of varying shades gradually transformed into flowing patterns in his eyes, as if he could see Claire's focused expression as she carved throughout the night.

Turning around, I saw Claire leaning against the rock wall, her messy hair covered in stone chips, her leather armor no longer recognizable as its original color, her face covered in grime, and her eyes bright.

Like a fanatical believer preaching, or a mad artist.

"Mr. Yaro, what do you think of the design of these two martial arts techniques? If there are no problems, I will continue to design them according to this approach."

Claire was quite humble.

"Too cumbersome!" Yaro shook his head, saying bluntly.
“Each of your martial arts skills can be divided into three, and each skill only needs one move.”

"One move? That doesn't form a complete system at all!"

"system?"

Yaro murmured a repeat, looked at Claire, and shook his head slightly: "Your sights are still set too high."

Are your expectations too high?
Claire couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Yarrow, could you tell me more about it?"

Yaro chuckled and said:
"Claire, think about it. If a battle-hardened veteran who only knows one killing move fights to the death with a new recruit who knows three killing moves, who would win?"

Claire frowned and pondered for a long time before slowly saying, "The veteran wins."

Yaro said, "If one person only practices one killing move and spends the rest of their time practicing in actual combat, while the other person only practices three killing moves, who will win?"

"...The one who masters a killer move wins."

Claire said hesitantly.

Yaro nodded slightly.

"That's right!"

Yaro looked at the martial arts techniques carved on the rock wall and continued:
"I've said it many times before, just don't parry or retaliate, that's all!"

"Low-level martial artists don't need so many fancy tricks. Like a snake's fangs, once you find an opening, you can kill it with one blow!"

"But most people in the world don't have an easy time just to make a living. Time and food are both costs. You have to practice three moves for one martial art. The power of the killing move is reduced again and again. When it really comes down to it, can you kill with one blow?"

If a killing move is a firearm, then specializing in a killing move is like increasing the power of that firearm.

You can practice only one move, which is basically only useful for surprise attacks.

Just like in gunfights in the past, shooting accuracy, tactical mobility, and combat awareness are all indispensable.

"Moreover, no one stipulates that each person can only practice one martial art. As long as the conditions are right, one can continue to learn and gradually form one or even several complete martial arts combat systems."

There's nothing inherently wrong with the martial arts techniques Claire designed, except that the starting point is too high.

Or rather, Claire actually wanted to emulate the methods used to train knights, to master a set of martial arts, which meant mastering a set of combat strategies.

But what Yaro really wanted was 'the whole nation becoming soldiers'!
Claire's eyes flickered slightly, her pupils reflecting the mottled martial arts inscriptions on the rock wall.

"Sir, do you mean... for these two martial arts techniques, we only need to keep the offensive and killing moves, and cut off all the other moves?"

"There's no need to waste it like that. Your two martial arts skills can be divided into six categories."

Yaro pointed to the boxing techniques carved on the rock face:

"Just like this boxing style, the offensive killing move is the straight punch, the defensive killing move is the cross hand, and there is also the grappling throw, which should be derived from wrestling. Although these three killing moves all use the same main meridian, they can be completely divided into three martial arts."

"For example, with a straight punch, you can design some basic footwork for dodging and add punching techniques for different postures. It would be a decent low-level martial art, which could be called Cannon Hammer Fist."

"The defensive killing move, the Cross Hand, mainly trains the arms, making them stronger than the average person's. Based on this characteristic, we can design some techniques to attack with the arms. After defending against an enemy's attack with the Cross Hand, you can immediately counterattack. This martial art can be called Iron Arm Fist."

"There are also grappling techniques, which can be directly classified as a grappling skill."

"Simply put, it's about using killer moves as the core, supplemented by ordinary movements."

"After mastering one martial art, your arms will be exercised, which will lay the foundation for learning the other two martial arts."

"The other marksmanship technique can also be modified in this way."
