This place is fun

Chapter 29 Broken
Half an hour later, Su Daoshan finished his standing posture.

He exhaled a breath of foul air, his body relaxed, and the spine on his back shook violently like a whip, making a series of crackling sounds.

Feeling the feedback from his body, Su Daoshan was surprised and delighted, and was amazed.

Standing still is the basic skill for martial artists.

Unlike the health-preserving stances that ordinary people use to strengthen their bodies, warriors also need to cultivate their internal qi, stimulate qi and blood, and cleanse their muscles and bones while standing. During the whole process, they must constantly change the center of gravity of the body to train the muscle reactions and balance of different parts.

This means that even if a martial artist standing still appears motionless, in fact, the muscles and bones of the body are under great pressure every minute and every second in high-frequency movement. In many cases, the entire body can only be supported by a few toes.

Such intensity is more than a hundred or a thousand times higher than that of ordinary standing postures.

Often after standing in a stance, people feel like they have been fished out of the water, with unbearable pain all over their body, almost fainting. The saying "I would rather be beaten ten times than stand for a stick of incense" is the best description. Especially when standing in a stance to the limit, every second is torture.

But today, Su Daoshan found that after his inner Qi had reached the state of proficiency and he could lock the acupoints and light the dragon lantern, after standing in the Hunyuan Posture for half an hour, he not only did not feel any pain, but instead felt relaxed and refreshed.

"No wonder the teachers in the academy and the instructors in the clan all said that when the inner qi is trained to the level of mastery, it will gradually improve. They also said that the body will be like a furnace, and all pains will disappear. It is indeed true."

"Although the first dragon lantern has not been lit yet, my entire spine feels warm and comfortable. My blood and energy are surging, and I feel full of energy!"

Su Daoshan immediately started practicing the Long River Strike again.

One move, two moves...

In the blink of an eye, Su Daoshan had finished thirteen moves. The internal energy that should have been exhausted was still flowing. So he continued to fight, one move after another, until he stopped at the twenty-first move.

"Sure enough, the inner qi mental method is completely different when it is upgraded to a higher level. The Haoran Zhengqi Jue at the mastery level has eight more acupoints than the coarse proficiency level. And each additional acupoint means that it can accommodate a larger amount of inner qi and stimulate a larger range of qi and blood."

"Moreover, these eight extra acupoints are all very important acupoints. When the internal Qi flows to these acupoints, the Qi and blood stimulated have their own wonderful effects."

"For example, the intermediate acupoint is the most central and extreme point in the human body. It is the main essence chamber. Using the internal Qi to stimulate the Qi and blood in this acupoint can refine the essence into Qi. At the critical moment when the internal Qi is exhausted, it can create something out of nothing and force the energy to continue. To put it simply, it is like having an extra power bank with long battery life."

"For example, the Changqiang point is located at the bottom of the coccyx. It is the starting point of the Duyang and the weight-bearing foundation of the spine. When the Qi and blood in this point are stimulated, you will feel the force flowing through your back, and your whole body will feel like you have installed an exoskeleton support component on your waist."

"The human body is like a frame. If the waist is strong, the frame will be strong. The lower body will be stable. With the support of this frame, the punches and kicks will be more smooth and flexible, and you can control them freely. Not only can you punch faster and more powerfully, but you can also perform the moves with less effort."

The more Su Daoshan thought about it, the more excited he became, and the more he felt the wonder of martial arts.

Just by raising the inner Qi mental method to a higher level and adding eight acupuncture points, his strength has gone up a big step. The human body has twelve regular meridians and eight extraordinary meridians, a total of 720 acupuncture points. It is hard for him to imagine how powerful he would be if he could open them all.

After finishing his training, Su Daoshan turned his head and looked around.

The training ground was just behind the small building where he lived, separated by an alley and a high wall. Using his observation skills as a scholar, he took a quick glance and knew what was going on.

Su Daoshan got excited on the spur of the moment and left the small door leading to the courtyard. He pushed his feet and rushed forward seven or eight meters. His toes touched the brick wall, and he pushed his waist and abdomen hard. He used the force to leap into the air, like a big bird, and jumped over the high wall, pouncing towards the second floor of the small building.

When he reached the second-floor platform, he stepped on the railing, flexed his body, and leaped up again. When he reached the eaves, he reached out and grabbed the carved beam. With a slight effort, he swung his body up and easily climbed onto the roof.

With his current arm and finger strength, his body was almost as light as a feather.

Standing on the roof and looking at the surrounding buildings, Su Daoshan felt extremely comfortable in his heart.

With the practice of martial arts, the human body's muscle tissue becomes tougher and stronger, with greater strength, faster speed, and better balance. It's like unlocking the various beast genes hidden in the body. Running like a cheetah, jumping like a kangaroo, and wrestling like an elephant are not illusions.

From a certain perspective, this is also a kind of supernatural power.

Standing on the roof, Su Daoshan felt that he could cosplay Spider-Man by putting on a red and blue tights.

Unfortunately, he hadn't yet reached the state of Hua Jin, and his agility and balance were insufficient. Jumping like this was already the limit that an eighth-grade peak warrior could achieve.

However... Su Daoshan's mind moved, and he activated his magic. The world in front of him once again became a world of spiritual light. But this time, everything became transparent. Whether it was the roof of the small building under his feet, the floor, or the walls of other nearby buildings.

The entire space around him was like a 3D perspective image on a computer. Su Daoshan quickly selected a location with his mind, and then he covered his eyes with his hand. The next second, his figure turned into a dissipating mist and disappeared from the roof.

When he appeared again, he was already in his bedroom downstairs.

Su Daoshan looked around, with a slight curve at the corner of his mouth.

This was the last time he secretly copied it in the carriage when Fan Caiyi left. The name of the skill is [Mist Dispersion], which is the exclusive skill of Shangshuidao. It can ignore obstacles within a range of 30 meters and teleport to any place instantly.

The requirement is that the destination chosen by the caster must be in an open state in space, and there must not be more than one wall between the caster and the destination.

For example, the bedroom where Su Daoshan is now is only separated from the place where he just stood by a roof. At the same time, the bedroom has doors and windows, and is not a physically closed space. And when Fan Caiyi teleported to the carriage before, it also met these two conditions.

"Even among extraordinary warriors, this skill is considered T0 level, right?"

Su Daoshan was a little envious.

You know, even if they are both extraordinary warriors of the Shangshui Dao, they take different paths. Whether or not you can comprehend this skill depends entirely on luck, not to mention other professions. Although I copied this skill by copying, it is not the original after all, and will be greatly restricted.

Firstly, as a scholar of the Shitu Dao, I couldn't perform this water-attributed technique as smoothly as Fan Caiyi.

Not only is the teleportation distance shorter, but the speed is also slower.

Secondly, on the surface, I was performing [Mist Dispersion], but in essence, I was performing Copy. This meant that not only would I consume the mental power of two different arts at the same time, but I also couldn't perform them continuously like Fan Caiyi.

After all, the nature of copying is different from that of mist dispersion. In terms of continuity, the difference between the two is as big as that between an automatic rifle and a flintlock rifle. Moreover, the consumption of mist dispersion is extremely high, and even a super warrior of the Shangshuidao can hardly use it frequently, not to mention the consumption of copying.

"Well, if we want to enhance the ability of rapid movement, maybe we can try two catapult flying claws?" Su Daoshan touched his chin.

Since he had returned to the bedroom, Su Daoshan was too lazy to call the maid. He wiped his body with water, changed his clothes, opened the door and walked out. However, as soon as he stood in the corridor on the second floor, he found that the atmosphere in the courtyard was a little strange.

Pingting and Huamei stood at the gate of the courtyard, worried, whispering something. The little girl Chunyuan stood timidly beside them, holding a broom. Even Sister Xing'er, who usually slept late, got up today and stood beside them with a pale face.

Su Daoshan went downstairs and asked, "What's wrong?"

When they saw Su Daoshan, they felt like they had found their backbone. Sister Xing'er was the first to rush over and grabbed his sleeve pitifully.

If it were any other time, Pingting and Huamei would have rolled their eyes at her and called her a vixen. But today, the two girls turned a blind eye and said anxiously, "Master, something has happened..."

After listening to the two people's stories, Su Daoshan frowned.

It turned out that just when Su Daoshan was practicing, the clan suddenly issued a clan order. Not only did it stop all daily work and activities in Sujiabao and prohibit anyone from leaving the city, but all clan members were mobilized.

Now, all the guards were on duty, patrolling in full gear. The warriors whose names were on the martial arts register were also called back. Even the other young and strong militiamen who had not practiced martial arts were issued weapons and organized to gather in groups at the large martial arts training ground to wait for orders.

As for the specific reason, Pingting and Huamei also heard rumors that the Mi family was coming to attack them.

When they were talking, Pingting, Huamei, Xing'er and Chunyuan's faces were pale and their eyes were full of fear.

In this chaotic world, everyone has seen too many deaths since childhood. No one knows better than them what it means for two families to openly go to war.

That meant all-consuming flames and rivers of blood, leaving one's homeland, heavy snow and sandstorms, cold and hunger, mad puppets that opened their bloody mouths and pounced on them, cruel refugees and bandits...

Yishan City had seen several changes in the family. No defeated family could survive. Their people died or were disabled. Some were sold as slaves, and more disappeared in the wilderness. They became food for the crazy puppet.

Even if they were lucky enough to survive among the refugees, when people recognized them many years later, they would just stand there, wearing clothes that were not much better than those of a crazy puppet, with a dull and cruel look, living like a dirty and smelly hyena...

This fear is engraved in their bones since childhood.

Originally they thought all this was far away from them, but on this early winter morning, when the world began to become noisy and chaotic, they suddenly realized that this quiet and safe house could be shattered like a dream.
