Destiny is ashes

Chapter 262: Playing Martial Arts (33)

——I just used this technique out of habit when demonstrating... and he actually saw through it?
"Do you really understand?"

After listening to An Jing's narration, Ming Guangchen calmed down. He suppressed the doubts in his heart, and said to An Jing with an unchanged expression: "Reproduce it, let me see how much you understand."

"Okay Master."

After seeing the 'Minging Sword Style', An Jing was willing to be called Master.

But then, An Jing tried to reproduce the "Sword Ming" that Ming Guangchen had just demonstrated, which made the Shenzang Zhenren almost unable to hold back his expression.

Because An Jing not only saw it, he also completely learned it!
But he did not use the sword. Instead, he stood in place, made a fist stance, and threw a set of punches.

An Jing's punches were very slow. It took twenty moments for a punch to be brought from the chest to the waist, then raised from the waist and punched forward.

However, this punch, which is as slow as a turtle and faster than even an old man in his seventies or eighties, can create ripples in the air like water waves.

Visible energy radiated in all directions with An Jing's fist as the center, forming ripples like crowns splashing on a calm lake, just like raindrops falling on a calm lake.

This is the process of concentrating one's internal energy to strengthen one's body, and then using the vibration method to generate strength, vibrating the flesh, blood and air around one's body.

During the entire process of punching, An Jing controlled his soul and body, bringing them close to one, making his spirit and body as one.

This posture consumed a lot of strength. Just with this swing of the fist, An Jing consumed one third of the internal energy in his body, which was twice as much as what he consumed when killing the four strong martial artists of the Tianyi Demon Sect!
This punch was not an empty one, An Jing's target was a big tree at the edge of the woods. The tree was neither old nor young, about twenty years old. An Jing punched the trunk slowly, then exhaled and closed his fist.

After that, where An Jing's fist landed, the bark fell off and turned into powder, while the trunk inside collapsed and melted, turning into sticky sap and oil, which flowed out from the fist-sized gap.

After the sap has stopped flowing, you can see that the tree has been punched with a fist-like hole that goes all the way through it.

With An Jing's strength, it would not be difficult to burst out the inner breath and penetrate the armor with true energy to make such a hole. However, he swung his punch so slowly just now. Such power was not a burst of physical strength, but was achieved simply by the inner breath!
[The fist makes a thunderous sound, which seems light and heavy].

This is pure 'internal kung fu'!
This is not the end.

After throwing this punch, An Jing seemed to have come to his senses. He swung his palm towards another tree, without even causing any wind. However, an invisible energy force slowly extended over and left a palm print on the tree trunk.

【Splitting Palm】

He came to the river and punched the water. There was no ripple on the surface, but the pebbles under the water shattered and turned into powder.

【Mountain Strength】

An Jing picked up a leaf, infused it with internal energy, and threw it out. Amidst a fierce scream, the leaf actually cut through a series of branches like an iron dart before shattering into pieces.

【Flying Leaf Sword】

The boy felt like he had found a new toy, or rather, he had found an old friend.

The more he tried, the happier he became, and the more he fought, the happier he became. It didn't seem like he was practicing, learning, or using martial arts, but rather he was playing with martial arts, testing martial arts, and having fun with martial arts!
An Jing was having fun, but Ming Guangchen became more and more solemn the more he watched.

Because all the skills that An Jing demonstrated at this time were all the martial arts secrets that he originally wanted to teach An Jing in the next few days!

Exert strength, soft strength, and hidden strength.

The power of breaking stones, carving iron and melting iron.

Thunder force, armor-piercing force, and air-through force.

An Jing used all kinds of internal energy techniques commonly used and uncommonly used by martial artists as if they were playing - he used his iron-melting power to turn a blade of grass into a carving knife and flattened a pebble, and then used his soft power to skip the pebble on the water, making it fly hundreds of meters away.

He used his air force to strike the surface of the lake, causing the water waves to vibrate and knocking out a big fish. After the big fish was fished out, An Jing pointed at its body, and the whole fish immediately became limp. Pink liquid oozed out of the fish scales. It turned out that the fish meat and bones were crushed into meat paste by the air force.

"No wonder I can learn martial arts while learning cooking. It will be very convenient to make shrimp balls, fish balls, beef balls, etc. in the future... I see. This is the essence of Armor Penetration True Energy and Mysterious Step. They are both the application of internal energy!"

At this moment, An Jing was more than just suddenly enlightened, he was simply happy. He had already learned how to use these powers in the Huangtian Method and Houtu Method. The armor-piercing true power can be divided into at least five different power application methods: starting power, thunder power, armor-piercing power, iron-melting power and stone-breaking power, and the mysterious step even contains soft power and dark power.

In the past, An Jing not only used internal energy to strengthen his body and maintain his physical strength, but also regarded it as a kind of energy to drive martial arts and only used it when performing martial arts.

But now he understood that martial arts itself is not a whole. It is composed of many subtle techniques of exerting force. Many of these techniques are beyond ordinary common sense because they use internal energy.

It can erupt through the air without physical contact, making the originally fragile flesh as hard as iron and stone, allowing it to penetrate armor and injure people, and it can manipulate the atmosphere to make itself extremely fast without causing strong winds...

As long as you master all the techniques of exerting force, no matter what martial arts it is, you can learn it quickly. It’s just a matter of proficiency or not.

This is why those geniuses can learn martial arts just by watching others perform them once!

"What kind of talent is this?"

Ming Guangchen on the side could no longer smile and his face was filled with shock.

Right in front of him, An Jing spent more than half an hour, at a speed visible to the naked eye, to figure out and apply all the conventional techniques of using internal energy, and he was truly proficient in it, definitely not at the level of a beginner.

If Ming Guangchen had not confirmed that An Jing's use of internal energy more than half an hour ago was extremely crude and could not be faked, he would definitely think that An Jing had deliberately concealed it from him and only showed it now.

"Well, Master?"

Turning around, An Jing's internal energy was almost exhausted, but he did not feel tired at all, and even felt relaxed all over.

He turned around and said with great energy: "After mastering these, I can probably learn any magical method... I should be able to advance to the inner strength level, right?"

"Inner strength? You underestimate it... You have wisdom, right?"

After a moment of silence, Ming Guangchen spoke cautiously. He was relieved when he saw An Jing nod as a matter of course: "An Jing, you must have been a very, very powerful warrior in your previous life. You might even be the reincarnation of an immortal or god!"

"what?"

An Jing raised his eyebrows: "Could it be that there are gods who are not reincarnated immortals?"

“How can there be so many reincarnations?” Ming Guangchen shook his head. “We, the Huaixu people, are all descendants of the gods and people brought by the great immortal Huaixu during the ancient times. Who doesn’t have gods and immortals in their ancestors? Most of those whose divine destiny has been awakened have inherited the bloodline left by their ancestors.”

"In a sense, this can be considered as the revival of the ancestor's divine power in the body of the descendant, which can be considered as reincarnation, but it is definitely different from the formal reincarnation of the soul."

"Although I don't know, but An Jing, your talent in martial arts is definitely not something that someone who is learning martial arts for the first time can have. No matter how you calculate it, your talent is almost like that of a god."

——That’s true.

An Jing thought so. He was indeed the reincarnation of a warrior.

However, he remembered that he was just an ordinary soldier who practiced martial arts in his previous life. Although he was hindered by his physical condition, there were still several people in the martial arts hall who were stronger than him.

"Never mind, you can indeed try to break through the inner strength."

Ming Guangchen was still thinking silently at this time.

He was not shocked, but his plan to teach and train An Jing had been completely disrupted and needed to be started from scratch.

This guy is like a monster, no wonder Ming Jing trusts him so much... If it were Ming Guangchen, he would trust him even more!

"Go back first."

Ming Guangchen raised his head. It was also early in the morning. He sighed and then earnestly instructed An Jing: "Later, the officials from Kanming City will most likely look for you."

"After you have dealt with them, I will teach you the true secrets of my Jiankongshan school."
