Starting from a short stick, becoming the master of the universe

Chapter 49 Looks familiar
After finishing his meal, Jiang Cheng took a short rest and then started to practice standing meditation.

According to Senior Brother Zhao, if you want to learn boxing, you must wait until you reach a proficient level in standing still.

It takes an average person at least two months to reach this level.

Jiang Cheng naturally couldn't wait that long, and had to seize the time to improve his proficiency in the two basic skills.

Firstly, you can learn boxing as quickly as possible, so that even if you don’t have a weapon in your hands in the future, you will have the ability to protect yourself.

Secondly, to prove one's talent and attract the attention of the boxing gym.

No matter how well you practice ordinary boxing moves, it will be useless. You must come into contact with secret martial arts to break the limits of the human body and have the power to change your destiny.

So, the sweet potatoes I bought had to be washed by my grandma alone.

The old woman had no objection to this. She had said long ago that these matters could be left to her alone, but Jiang Cheng just didn't listen before.

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, bend your knees slightly, put your arms in front of your body, and look forward.

Half a minute passed.

"Xiaocheng, what are you doing?"

Seeing Jiang Cheng standing there motionless in a strange posture, the old man couldn't help but ask.

"Grandma, I'm standing still."

Jiang Cheng said.

"Standing?"

"Yes, I learned it from the boxing gym. It's the basic skills of martial arts and also a way to keep fit. Grandma, when I become more proficient, I'll take you to practice with me. It's good for your health."

"I'm still practicing this, forget it."

The old man burst out laughing.

Jiang Cheng thought to himself, of course.

Not only grandma, but also Mrs. Chen and Xiaoyue next door can practice together.

After all, this is basic skill, just like horse stance. It doesn't violate the rules of the boxing gym if you teach it to people around you.

After three or four minutes, Jiang Cheng gradually felt tired, and his legs were shaking slightly. After five minutes, he really couldn't hold on any longer. The panel happened to prompt that he had gained some experience points, so he relaxed and took a rest.

This cycle repeated itself for an hour.

The experience points increased by five or six points.

Jiang Cheng discovered that if he wanted to reach a proficient level, he could only spend time and effort slowly.

He tried to lower his center of gravity in order to increase the experience points he gained per unit time, but in doing so, the time he could persist each time was greatly shortened.

When I saw the 1 experience point increase appear on the panel, I lost hope and could no longer hold on.

By raising the center of gravity, he could hold on for longer, but the experience points he gained would still be limited, and he was almost out of strength and could not hold on any longer.

Therefore, it is not possible to speed up the acquisition of experience points. You can only be honest and work hard bit by bit.

Perhaps once you get the hang of standing meditation, you’ll be able to persist longer and gain more experience points.

But it goes without saying that the experience bar will also increase significantly...

Jiang Cheng shook his head.

Compared to others who need ten days or half a month to get started with the standing meditation, I can do it in more than eight hours, which is already a huge advantage.

Just take it step by step.

After standing on the pole for another hour, Jiang Cheng felt that his legs could not bear it anymore. Apparently, he had reached his limit for today.

If I continue to practice, it will only be a waste of energy and I won't gain any experience points.

"Let's practice the double sticks for another hour."

……

The next day.

Jiang Cheng specially put on the training clothes of the boxing gym.

After all, everyone there wears the same thing, and he doesn't want to stand out.

In addition, wearing this for a walk can also shock a lot of people.

Sure enough, after finishing breakfast and hiding his two sticks, Jiang Cheng went out. When the people in the slums saw him, they opened their eyes wide, but when they saw Jiang Cheng looking at them, they turned their heads away and dared not look at him.

There were quite a few vendors on the street, mostly selling breakfast. When they saw Jiang Cheng coming, they were all scared.

They all prayed in their hearts that this guy would leave quickly and not come to trouble themselves. Jiang Cheng would naturally not do that, and walked over without looking away.

The vendors behind him all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Huh? Why do I feel that the person who just walked past looks a little familiar?" said a middle-aged woman.

"Look familiar? Come on? Being familiar with them is not a good thing."

"That's right. Once you get familiar with them, they will come to your place every day to eat for free. Let's see if you are afraid."

"Don't."

The middle-aged woman shuddered with fear.

"I just said it casually. I must have made a mistake."

I arrived at the boxing gym and went up to the second floor. There was only one person in the huge venue.

The other person looked to be in his early thirties, with a buzz cut, and was warming up there.

"morning."

Jiang Cheng took the initiative to greet the other party.

Although I have no idea what the other person's name is.

The latter was stunned, then nodded and greeted.

Jiang Cheng smiled at him, put the two sticks he carried with him on the black rack against the wall, and began to warm up.

The warm-up movements were exactly the soft exercises that Professor Zhao Xiangyu taught yesterday.

After doing a set of movements, I immediately felt warm all over.

Then he began to stand still.

According to the progress, if you stand in the stance for another six hours, you will be able to learn the stance practice.

At around eight o'clock, members started arriving one after another, mostly ordinary members, and there were also two senior members.

"You're here to practice so early? You're quite diligent."

Zhao Xiangyu's voice was heard not far away.

He held half a bun in one hand and a bag of buns in the other.

"Senior Brother Zhao."

Jiang Cheng maintained his standing posture and greeted him.

"Well, the posture is much more standard than yesterday." Zhao Xiangyu walked over, took a look, and nodded.

"You continue practicing. I'll go upstairs to have breakfast."

After saying that, he said hello to several other senior members and went up to the third floor.

Not long after he left, a few more people came over.

Some are senior members.

Some of them, like Zhao Xiangyu, are disciples of the martial arts school owner, including the man who almost didn't pay for the sweet potatoes. The other members call him Senior Brother Xiao.

The other party noticed that there was a new face here, Jiang Cheng, but he did not recognize him. It might be because he was wearing training clothes, or it might be because the other party did not take a street vendor seriously at all.

About a quarter of an hour passed, and there was suddenly a commotion downstairs. I could vaguely hear many people shouting the words "Senior Sister Bai".

Then, the sound of two women talking and laughing came from the stairs.

Several senior members who were warming up on the second floor also looked over there eagerly.

It was Bai Wei and Sun Xiaoli.

There are very few women in the boxing gym, not to mention that the two women have good looks and figures. The former is the disciple of the gym owner, so she will attract attention wherever she goes.

Jiang Cheng also cast a curious look.

However, he knew his own weight, and he didn't have any thoughts in his mind, nor did he take the initiative to come forward and try to get close to others.

"Hey?"

Bai Wei glanced at the people present, and immediately noticed the unfamiliar face of Jiang Cheng.

After taking a closer look, she couldn't help but pointed at Jiang Cheng and said in surprise: "You, you are not that..."
