Chapter 2: Nightmare

Yue Hanzhang, a good seedling, what a pity.

This is the common understanding of almost all teachers and classmates who know Yue Hanzhang.

Even for Yue Hanzhang himself, this view is the most objective evaluation and portrayal of his life, which is still full of misfortunes despite his best efforts.

When the dream of the past is awakened one day, the soul wanders in this world, becomes a young orphan suffering from the wind and rain in the shantytown, becomes a member of this brilliant world where the extraordinary power of Taoism is manifested, and becomes the most inconspicuous speck of dust in the colorful galaxy.

The ecstasy after regaining his life and living was the source of motivation for Yue Hanzhang's long-term high spirits in the following years.

And because of his luck that came from the general public, the hardships he suffered in his childhood, although making Yue Hanzhang look too thin, did not leave any congenital and irreparable injuries in his body.

So when faced with the healthy, nutritious, yet bitter, tasteless, rough and even inedible food provided by schools at all levels, Yue Hanzhang, unlike his classmates who still had a childish mentality and took a perfunctory attitude, discarded his aversion to the bad taste from the very beginning. All he had in mind was the strengthening of his physical foundation and the voracious devouring of the food.

After all, no matter how much teachers and parents tirelessly remind their children of the importance of eating healthy foods and strengthening the body, the students ultimately have to take this path themselves.

Yue Hanzhang, who has experienced past and present lives, understands too well that behind the seemingly unintentional relaxation and negligence on the road of life is how one falls behind step by step, and then falls behind step by step, and finally can only look up at his peers who were once equally "mediocre", and then end up with a life full of regrets.

The regrets, the unwillingness, the confusion as if he was about to drown in the sea of ​​vicissitudes of life, and the attraction of the real and extraordinary path now, have allowed Yue Hanzhang to go through eight years of hard work and tempering as a student, in which he has truly consolidated his career step by step without any regrets.

Yue Hanzhang knew very well that he did not have any unique or one-in-a-million talent in the way of tempering his body.

He simply achieved the extreme of what ordinary people can actually do.

And perhaps it was precisely the reward for this extraordinary effort in ordinary life that when Yue Hanzhang successfully entered the third year of high school, when he began to come into contact with and learn the "Nine Palaces Hunyuan Palm" boxing stance, the accumulation of his mind and soul for many lifetimes, and eight years of adaptation and nurturing, Yue Hanzhang ushered in an explosion of mental power!
This outburst of mental power was initially reflected in speed. Yue Hanzhang was the first student in Class 7 to fully master the three sets of boxing postures. He was also the fastest student to correct all the mistakes in the use of force and application of the three sets of boxing postures under the guidance of the teacher. He is now the only student in the class who can get rid of assistance and master the boxing postures.

This kind of outburst itself is dazzling. After all, as Qin Linhui said, at the beginning of martial arts, how can the "dead frame" mastered by students be transformed into a "living frame"? The key lies in entering the spirit of boxing and in the unity of form and spirit!

At this step, how to stimulate the energy and blood accumulated during the previous eight years of training, in fact, the key to hidden talent lies in the strength of the mind.

After all, young people are at an age when their minds are unstable. As they grow older, their thoughts become more and more unbridled, and this is the age when their minds are most restless.

It is precisely because of this that the preciousness of Yue Hanzhang's hidden talent becomes even more prominent.

There have been records of students like this in the past, who were able to accumulate spiritual strength while accumulating qi and blood for eight years, and who were able to settle their character much earlier than their peers before embarking on the path of martial arts.

Such students, with such acquired talents, are often regarded as pioneers on the road of martial arts practice. Moreover, because the talent itself comes from one's own tempering and cultivation, this kind of cultivators who have mastered the hidden talent of mental power have all achieved very high achievements in records.

But just when Yue Hanzhang was thinking that after this miracle of transcending life and death, his best efforts had finally moved God and that fate had finally given him a chance to succeed in his mediocre and barren life, things suddenly took a turn for the worse.

Success is due to the explosion of mental power, and failure is also due to the explosion of mental power.

As the spiritual power that had been accumulated for several years transformed from latent to explicit, and as Yue Hanzhang mastered the boxing stance of "Nine Palaces Hunyuan Palm" with his unique talent, a certain disharmony originating from the power of his mind began to bother Yue Hanzhang little by little, hindering his further progress in martial arts practice.

At first, it was a slight discomfort similar to tinnitus, but as the power of the mind continued to emerge, this slight discomfort began to gradually worsen, and then accompanied by occasional dizziness and the occasional appearance of many hallucinations in the originally clear vision. Finally, when Yue Hanzhang mastered the boxing stance, the "buzzing" sound that did not come from the body but from the mind and soul had become more and more intense and became a roar like a machine running, a noisy sound like sharp metal constantly cutting and rubbing against each other, and began to continuously torture Yue Hanzhang's spirit.

This illusory yet equally real roaring sound severely affected Yue Hanzhang's normal hearing and sleep, and even over time, it affected Yue Hanzhang's emotions and his calm judgment.

Even after experiencing the initial extreme discomfort, Yue Hanzhang has overcome many inconveniences in life with the strong willpower accumulated over many lifetimes, and has tried his best to ensure that his normal life is not affected by such strange changes.

However, the noisy and roaring sound itself could not be eradicated and became increasingly intense, which meant that even after Yue Hanzhang had mastered the boxing stance, he was unable to make any further progress in his martial arts training.

After all, the mind is so disturbed that there is hardly a moment of peace.

How can one concentrate on boxing if one's mind is not stable? How can one achieve unity of body and spirit?

And it was precisely because the root of this abnormality lay in the already mysterious mind and soul that even Yue Hanzhang's teachers and even the Taoist Alliance doctors he sought help from were quite helpless. In the end, they could only regard this change as a congenital defect in Yue Hanzhang's mind and soul, which gradually manifested itself into some kind of rare nightmare disease.

Perhaps, with the further surge in Yue Hanzhang's mental power, this disharmony itself would turn around and transform into some unpredictable mental mystery; but the more likely possibility is that this unconcealable agitation would remain in the mind for a long time and become a stubborn disease that blocks the way.

He had used eight years of savings to be half a step ahead of his peers, but now he was standing still and being caught up by them one after another, or even surpassed...

At this moment, amid the shouts echoing in the classroom, Yue Hanzhang could clearly feel that with the steps taken and the swings of arms, some of the students who clearly still needed the assistance of the Nine-square Grid had already had their body movements and blood flow guided by their minds.

This is the first sign that one is about to enter a boxing trance.

In the aftermath of the shout, one could already hear a faint sound similar to that of a palm breaking through the air.

But after the same palm strike was made, Yue Hanzhang couldn't help but frown slightly.

Still no progress.

This palm was neat and standard, just like a textbook. However, no matter how standard it was, it was ultimately just a brilliant performance.

However, even the school teachers and the doctors of the Taoist Alliance were helpless against this stubborn disease.

The cultivators at a higher level who truly mastered the magical skills were far beyond the reach of Yue Hanzhang, who came from a shantytown. Even if he could get in touch with them, he would not be able to pay the price for the cultivator to take action, even if he tried his best.

It seemed as if he could only wait passively and powerlessly for a miracle to happen. Apart from that, this somewhat pale effort was the only thing he could do well.

"Hah-ha!"
