Beast Tamer: The pet is just to help me build a bond

Chapter 92 Breathing Method [Subscribe]

"In less than two months, you and Po have already mastered Xingyiquan. This talent is truly unprecedented and will probably never be surpassed in the future."

Sun Hong's eyes were full of praise and he was deeply moved.

Chen Wen smiled modestly. After all, it was normal for him to achieve such results since he was cheating.

A Bao didn't understand, but from the look in Sun Hong's eyes he knew it was a good word, so he hummed proudly.

"According to our custom, we usually only teach ordinary disciples the Three Body Posture, Five Elements Boxing, and the Twelve Forms of Xingyi, but talented people are hard to come by after all..."

After listening to Sun Hong's explanation, Chen Wen quickly bowed and thanked him: "Thank you for your cultivation, Master."

His gratitude was genuine. Sun Hong didn't expect anything from him at all. Teaching him and A Bao Xingyiquan for free was really a kind gesture.

Abao also bent down and bowed under Chen Wen's command.

Sun Hong raised his hand to signal Chen Wen and the others to stand up, and continued: "This time I came here mainly to teach you a more advanced breathing method.

The human body is breathing all the time, and our breathing training method is to adjust the breathing during the boxing practice to exercise the muscles and bones and nourish the internal organs..."

As he spoke, he slowly raised his hands, bent his body and squatted slightly, then leisurely assumed the Trikonasana pose.

"When you practiced Xingyiquan before, you used the natural breathing method. This method follows the natural momentum of boxing, and the breathing and movements are coordinated. It is the best way to become familiar with boxing moves and exercise the strength of the whole body. Today, I will teach you two other breathing methods..."

Sun Hong's voice was not loud, but every word was clearly heard by Chen Wen.

At the same time, he practiced Xingyiquan at a leisurely pace, and explained in detail the rhythm of each breathing and the coordination of movements.

"breathe……"

Along with heavy breathing, Sun Hong's chest and abdomen rose and fell slowly, echoing the Xingyiquan he performed.

These two breathing methods are not complicated. The important thing is coordination. Breathing fast or slow will not have any positive effect, but will hurt the body.

This simple breathing technique may have been developed through countless experiments by our predecessors.

After a long time, Sun Hong finished his punch.

This time he practiced, there was no sound of his fists popping, just like an old man practicing Tai Chi in the park.

Then at this moment, hot air rose from his body, as if he had just participated in extremely intense exercise.

Sun Hong took a slow breath and said, "The forward breathing method is better at strengthening the body and increasing the power of boxing. The reverse breathing method is good at training internal strength and improving the control of hidden strength..."

At this point, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "Originally, we had a breathing method specifically for cultivating internal strength, but it was lost in the war. Now we can only rely on boxing to generate strength."

When Chen Wen heard the words “breathing method to cultivate internal strength”, a strange look flashed in his eyes.

I don't know if his Quanzhen internal energy counts, but it should be a more advanced breathing method, right?

Sun Hong came back to his senses and asked Chen Wen, "Have you memorized both breathing techniques?"

Chen Wen replied: "The forward breathing method is very similar to the breathing in and out in the fighting method. I also memorized the breathing rhythm of the reverse breathing."

Sun Hong nodded: "Just remember it, and then you can experience it yourself and find a breathing method that suits you. It should be noted that the reverse breathing method should not be practiced lightly, and greed for temporary gains may hurt your whole body."

"Yes!" Chen Wen responded quickly.

According to his understanding, natural breathing method is the breathing in and out that is coordinated with boxing techniques.

The direct breathing method uses the breathing to transfer the internal energy to the fists and feet, thereby increasing the power of the fists and feet.

Reverse breathing is just the opposite. The internal force goes against the boxing method so the body will react, allowing the martial artist to feel the internal force in the body more easily, thereby better practicing and mastering the internal force.

Chen Wen guessed that the reason why reverse breathing method exists is mainly because ordinary people obtain too little spiritual energy through practicing boxing, so they can only find weak spiritual energy through "self-mutilation".

Of course, if this kind of "self-mutilation" is well controlled, it can also effectively improve physical fitness, which is the same as breaking down and then standing up again.

After teaching Chen Wen the breathing method, Sun Hong sat down and asked, "Have you had any difficulties in practicing Xingyiquan recently?"

Chen Wen let A Bao move on his own, then sat on the other side and said, "I originally wanted to ask Master about the practice of dark energy, but I didn't expect Master to be so smart and directly taught me the breathing method."

Reverse breathing can practice hidden power, and forward breathing can use hidden power. Chen Wen didn't need to ask more. Sun Hong smiled and poured himself a cup of tea, feeling happy.

Chen Wen continued: "However, there are still some areas that still need the teacher's guidance."

Sun Hong took a sip of tea and said, "You go ahead."

"It's like this, I'm participating in the National High School Beast Taming Competition..." Chen Wen explained.

Sun Hong said: "I know, Lin Wu told me about it, and you even advertised for him..."

Speaking of this, Sun Hong joked: "If you can participate in the national competition, you can also advertise for Master's martial arts school."

"no problem!"

Chen Wen agreed readily, and then said: "After learning martial arts, Abao is much stronger than ordinary pets, but he still has no idea where to start when facing many pets, such as the thorny porcupine..."

Chen Wen explained to Sun Hong, and then asked: "Master, does our sect have any external skills like Iron Shirt, or Iron Sand Palm will also work."

Sun Hong shook his head upon hearing this and said, "Our Sun-style Xingyiquan is an internal martial art, which is aimed at maintaining health. External martial arts squeeze out potential and vitality, which is harmful to Xingyiquan, so it is not included in our school."

Chen Wen felt a little disappointed when he heard this, but he didn't show it.

It is enough for him to learn the hidden power from Sun Hong. He can't always ask Sun Hong to solve all his problems.

After a short rest, Sun Hong asked Chen Wen and A Bao to practice the breathing method, and he gave them instructions.

The breathing method is not difficult. Chen Wen and A Bao found the trick after practicing a few times and mastered the natural breathing. The rest is just a matter of becoming proficient in it.

As for the reverse breathing method, Sun Hong suggested that Chen Wen and A Bao master the normal breathing method before practicing it to avoid damaging their foundation.

In addition to the breathing method, Sun Hong asked Chen Wen and A Bao to choose a form of visualization and begin to try to learn the meaning of boxing.

Chen Wen considered it and chose the bear shape without a doubt.

Sun Hong nodded and said, "You and Abao are together day and night, so you will definitely master the bear form faster."

After a pause, he suggested: "You can take Abao to shoot a film..."

"What?" Chen Wen exclaimed in surprise.

What the hell is this about filming? This is not ancient martial arts at all.

Sun Wen was surprised and said, "Isn't this normal? Through the film, Abao's bones and internal organs can be clearly reflected, which greatly reduces the difficulty of visualization."

Chen Wen was speechless.

Sun Hong continued, "First visualize the external appearance, then fill in the bones and internal organs. When you and Abao complete this step, I will teach you the last step."

"Okay." Chen Wen nodded.

After Sun Hong finished instructing Chen Wen, he left the martial arts hall and returned to Kyoto.

"I didn't prepare tuition for my teacher last time, and I've always felt bad about it..."

Chen Wen took out a gift box from his schoolbag and handed it to Sun Hong. "I bought some supplements this time. I hope the teacher will always be healthy."

"I'm determined!"

Sun Hong didn't even open it, but accepted it with a smile.

For him, having the intention was enough, and he didn't expect Chen Wen to give any expensive gifts.

In the car.

Sun Hong opened Chen Wen’s gift box and a smile immediately appeared on his face.

"It's actually wild ginseng? It's thirty or forty years old. It's worth it that I came all the way to Qinghe City to teach you."

Although he didn't want anything from Chen Wen, he was still very happy about his disciple's filial piety.
