Cosmic Demon

Chapter 7: Endurance Training, Reality and Fakeness

【Primary Achievement-Deep Sleep (2/7)】

The next morning, as soon as Qin Shi opened his eyes, a text message flashed by and quickly sank into the depths of his consciousness.

On the monument panel with a black frame, the flesh and blood embryo that looked like a germinating seed seemed to have grown bigger and stronger.

[Anchor point: Qin Dynasty]

【Growth stage: embryo】

[Progress: 0.008%]

【Number of monuments: 2】

"Although the progress has not moved, I feel that the improvement is not small. Moreover, the growth has been accumulating. What Lao Liang taught should be correct!"

After a night of deep sleep, Qin Shi felt full of energy. The fatigue accumulated from yesterday's practice was swept away and was not accumulated in the body.

"Xie Yucheng said that his muscles were sore the first time he did it and he couldn't even get up the next day... Lao Liang put me through such a high intensity because he probably thought that my body couldn't handle it and I would back down after a hard time."

Qin Shi washed up quickly. The youngest Qin Lan went out early, leaving a bowl of soaked rice and a pot of hot water on the dining table.

He took two plates of side dishes from the sauce jar in the corner of the room, then poured hot water into the covered rice bowl and ate it with the pickles.

I buried my head and ate two large bowls of food before my hungry stomach felt about 50% full.

In the past, our family was not well off, and we often just had a simple meal like this.

"Practicing martial arts really consumes a lot of energy. In the past, two bowls of soup would be enough, but now I still feel hungry and my stomach is empty."

Qin Shi couldn't help but miss the nutritious meals in the school cafeteria, although the synthetic food tasted bad and made him want to vomit.

But the energy provided is full and is definitely enough to support exercise needs.

He threw the dishes into a plastic basin to collect water and would wash them when he came back. After closing the doors and windows, he trotted towards Zidi No. 9 Middle School.

"It's unclear how much my vitality has increased, but after Lao Liang wrapped my muscles, they are definitely stronger and more powerful."

Qin Shi silently estimated in his mind that the journey that used to take half an hour only took a little over twenty minutes this time.

Moreover, I feel very relaxed, without sweating profusely or panting.

"The improvement in physical fitness brought about by coiling the tendons can be seen with the naked eye."

Qin Shi calmed his heartbeat a little and bought a few big meat buns from a breakfast shop near No. 9 Middle School to fill his stomach.

Only when he saw a familiar figure slowly walk into the guard booth did he wipe his mouth and cross the road.

"Hey, little kid, why are you here again?"

The old man was stunned.

"You had someone carry you home yesterday, but you still won't give up. Do you have to put yourself in Lao Liang's hands and suffer?"

Qin Shi smiled sweetly:

"There is no student who would run away after one class. I have always been an excellent student since I was young and have never failed a grade."

The old man looked at Qin Shi, who looked obedient and sensible, like his grandson, and sighed:
"It's against the rules for Lao Liang to open a cram school and recruit students. What's more, you are not from our No. 9 Middle School..."

Qin Shi reached in and put the pack of hard-shell Limin cigarettes through the small window of the guard booth.

"I really want to learn from Teacher Liang and make progress. Please help me."

The old man's eyelids moved, and he said helplessly:
"Well, I don't have to be hard on you, kid. Forget it, I'm old and my eyes are blurry. I can't see anything.

Remember to go in through the back door, not the front door."

Qin Shi nodded vigorously, thinking that what his elder sister said was right, there is no small problem in the world that cannot be solved by buying a pack of cigarettes!

If one pack is not enough, make two packs!
……

……

"You, why are you here?"

When Teacher Liang saw the lively Qin Shi, he was stunned for a moment.

"Didn't you ask me to study with you for two days and attend two classes?"

Qin Shi's face was full of sincerity, and he tried hard to suppress the upturned corners of his mouth.

No matter how much Lao Liang planned, he couldn't defeat the cheater!
"Can you walk?"

Teacher Liang was extremely surprised.

“I came here running.”

Qin Shi answered truthfully.

“This… doesn’t make sense!”

I must have been drunk and haven't sobered up yet!

Teacher Liang thought. Even though Qin Shi was studying at Xinyi Middle School in the urban area, his vitality was better than that of the students at Jiuchang Street's Ninth Middle School.

It is also impossible to withstand the test of rough tendon twisting!

"Have you taken any injections or medication?"

Teacher Liang gave him a suspicious look.

In recent years, a "technological trend" has emerged in urban circles. When in doubt, people take supplements first, and when they don't have enough strength, they take banned drugs.

Indeed, this method can enable ordinary people to achieve a leap in their comprehensive quality in a short period of time.

And it’s an all-round improvement from body shape to muscles!
But the price paid is greater than training in old martial arts.

Things like cardiovascular blockage and premature organ failure are all child's play.

Some crazy guys who don't know the consequences of their lives and blindly take large doses of injections may even cause their bodies to become deformed and transformed into non-human creatures.

Qin Shi pulled the corner of his mouth:
"Do I look like a rich man?"

Teacher Liang was speechless. This kid had to secretly hide the registration fee in his pants. The aura of poverty he exuded was really hard to conceal.

"Come here, raise your hands, let me pinch them."

He reached out and held Qin Shi's shoulders, rubbing them secretly.

After a moment, the surprise in his eyes became more intense.

"Yesterday's coiling was so intense, but I didn't even have any muscle fatigue. No wonder I don't feel sore... This kid is really durable!"

In the open space beside the playground, Xie Yucheng stopped warming up:

"Oh my god, how come this guy is like nothing happened? He was tortured so hard by Lao Liang, but he was still able to get up from the bed?"

Li Yuan was stretching his legs nearby and glanced at the delicate and graceful Qin Shi:

"He doesn't look very strong. Lao Liang will definitely show mercy!
If one can really play for twenty minutes and still be full of energy, then he must be some legendary endurance king!"

Xie Yucheng scratched his hair. After sending Qin Shi home, he asked about it and found out that this guy was studying at Xinyi Middle School in the urban area.

A well-known representative of "good students" and "good kids" in Jiuchang Street.

"It's hard to say, they don't go to a children's school. Brother Ze said that the rich guys in the urban area have been hanging out in the training hall since junior high school, and some of them have reached the level of a professional player at the age of eleven or twelve."

Li Yuan stood up and spat, not disguising his cold expression:
"What a bullshit metropolitan area! Without the blood transfusion from Dangyang, how could it have developed so fast? You really think you are the boss of Dijing!"

Xie Yucheng smiled and looked very happy:

"Brother Yuan, you didn't listen carefully in class. Dongxia's development policy for administrative new stars has always been to focus on building large urban circles around the central city and shoulder the task of blood transfusion.

The surrounding areas are blood suppliers. Well, this is called local support, where the rich first help the poor. "

Li Yuan seemed to be full of complaints and couldn't help cursing:

"The Tai'an metropolitan area was created by draining Dangyang District, but in the end, how could our Jiuchang Street be included in the list of people helped over the years?"

"Ahem, I don't know how Lao Liang is going to train this guy today."

Xie Yucheng changed the subject.

Yuan Ge used to come from a typical working-class family. His father worked in a military workshop as an assembler, and his mother worked as a female worker in a cotton textile factory.

Later, the wave of layoffs hit, and in an instant we lost two of our pillars, and the company fell into ruin.

Therefore, there are many complaints about the Tai'an metropolitan area.

Li Yuan curled his lips:

"Coiling the tendons is just a test, but grasping the energy is the real challenge.

Without this step, he wouldn't even be able to see the threshold of Jiuwu!"

……

……

"Not bad, not bad. It seems that your 'muscles' are very strong. It is a physique suitable for old martial arts."

On the edge of the playground, Teacher Liang gave a rare compliment:
"Okay, I'll teach you another lesson today!
Vitality is an ethereal thing, invisible and intangible, this is the "empty" thing.

The human body is the root that nurtures blood and generates limbs, which is called "reality".

The secret of developing vitality in traditional martial arts is to "use the real to nourish the virtual."

Qin Shi was scratching his head after listening to this. No wonder Dongxia was promoting new martial arts. Just looking at these long and flowery paragraphs made people dizzy and it was impossible to understand the real meaning.

So he asked seriously:

"Teacher Liang, what does it mean to nourish the void with the real?"
