When you do everything to the extreme

Chapter 9 9. Spring Kick: Mastery! I Didn't Let You Go!
The panel is filled with dense information.

Most of the experience points are about long-distance running and kicking skills gained during running. The experience points of Liuhequan are relatively small and are getting less and less!

Simply practicing the internal breathing of Liuhequan will make it increasingly difficult to improve your skill proficiency.

After all, a profound internal martial art involves many aspects, including stances, training methods, breathing methods, etc. It is difficult to achieve comprehensive improvement by simply practicing one aspect.

During this journey, the skill that improved the most was of course the long-distance running skill, followed by the kicking skill, and the Liuhequan skill improved the least.

Long-distance running: small success (1436/5000).

Spring Kick: Proficient (495/500).

Liuhequan: Minor Success (465/5000).

What Wang Xiao wanted to improve the most, of course, was the Liuhequan, a martial art inherited from his family that he had practiced for more than ten years.

In just one day, his proficiency level increased by more than 200, and Wang Xiao was temporarily satisfied.

Now, he has a deeper understanding of Tangqiu and his family's Liuhequan.

Especially the skill of the bouncing kick, he advanced directly from the beginner level to the proficient level in one day, leaping across two major levels, which was extremely fast. It enabled him to master and apply many basic techniques of the bouncing kick and was able to use them in actual combat.

He looked at the last column of system information.

"Win the amateur competition and receive 100 free experience points."

Looking at the character panel information, there are 100 more free experience points at the bottom.

There is a line of text next to it explaining that winning a competition will earn you free experience points as a reward, and the free experience points can be added to any skill.

Free XP!
Can be added to any skill.

Seems like a simple explanation.

Wang Xiao was so excited that he instantly regained some strength, sat up straight, opened his eyes, and with a gleam of light in his eyes, he scared Li Bowen who was standing next to him.

"Master, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell? Do you want to go to the hospital?"

Li Bowen asked hurriedly with concern.

He was still thinking about the secret of Wang Xiao's boxing, and didn't want Wang Xiao to have an accident.

Wang Xiao shook his head, his voice gaining a bit of strength. "I'm fine. I'm perfectly fine. You said that the top three in this race will automatically qualify for the professional marathon later. In other words, even if I didn't sign up before, I can still participate now?"

Li Bowen nodded and answered affirmatively, "Yes, that's the rule. However, Master, you ran the entire course and took first place this time. You've exhausted yourself tremendously. You probably won't be able to recover to your best condition in a short period of time. If you rashly compete, you might not be able to achieve good results, and you might even injure yourself and leave hidden injuries, increasing your risk of injury in the future."

"My advice is to take a good rest. Since you have a talent for marathon running, you can study this sport specifically, then participate in professional training and register as an athlete. Training for a period of time will greatly improve you, and then you can participate in professional competitions."

Li Bowen gave Wang Xiao professional advice.

However, Wang Xiao does not need such professional advice.

He does not need to train for a marathon, because he does not rely on long-distance running experience or skills. Instead, he relies on his traditional martial arts skills, his internal breathing to control his physical fitness, and his leg-bouncing power techniques.

You can win prize money by participating in the competition, practice your martial arts, and improve your skill experience points. If you win the championship, you can also get additional free experience points!
It’s a win-win-win!

Wang Xiao can win three times.

"I don't need to rest. I will compete on time when the time comes."

Wang Xiao shook his head, rejected Li Bowen's professional advice, and followed his own ideas.

Although he had just finished the race and was almost exhausted, he believed that he would be able to recover within a few days.

because!

He practiced authentic family internal martial arts, and also learned his grandfather's family traditional Chinese medicine skills, which included some traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions specifically for practicing family martial arts. He was good at health preservation and had secret methods to quickly restore physical strength.

Li Bowen didn't persuade him any further and said directly: "Okay, Master, I will take you there and cheer you on!"

Wang Xiao didn't want to trouble him any more. Although Li Bowen called him "Master" every day, he was just a paying member and they didn't have much personal relationship. He shook his head and said, "I can go by myself. No need to trouble you."

For this kind of officially organized professional competition, Wang Xiao can go online to find out the detailed information and then go to the competition venue to participate.

Li Bowen quickly said, "No trouble, no trouble! Master, I'm just a lazy guy who wanted to go and watch the marathon. It would be my honor if I could see you get into the top three."

Li Bowen offered a little flattery.

Wang Xiao smiled and did not stop Li Bowen from going to the stadium. Thinking that he had already won a prize of 30,000 this time, he felt a little relieved. He would find a way to make money later. If he could win the professional marathon championship next week, the pressure of rent would be solved at once.

As long as the urgent problem is solved temporarily, Wang Xiao has no worries about next year's rent.

He has a year to study martial arts. Within a year, he is confident that he can elevate his family martial arts to at least a higher level, or even a higher level. By promoting his family martial arts and martial arts school, making money will be a simple matter.

With enough strength, all problems will be solved.

and so!
Wang Xiao made up his mind.

In next week's professional marathon competition, I must try my best to win the championship, not only for the prize money, but more importantly for the free experience points awarded as a championship reward.

This week, I need to prepare well.

Look at the panel information again.

With 100 free experience points, you can click wherever you want.

Since I have decided to win the championship next week and take away the $50,000 prize money, I will do my best.

So, Wang Xiao decided to improve his springy legs first.

The experience points required to upgrade Liuhequan were too high, and 100 experience points was just a drop in the bucket. As for long-distance running skills, Wang Xiao did not value them.

Bouncing legs can not only improve running power techniques, but also improve actual combat capabilities. After all, this is a practical traditional martial art. After practicing to a high level, Wang Xiao can also teach it together with the family-inherited Liuhequan to others to increase the competitiveness of the martial arts school.

Moreover, the experience points of the spring kick are about to be upgraded, and only a few more experience points are needed to reach the mastery level.

No longer hesitate.

With an idea in mind, Wang Xiao added ten experience points to the bouncing leg skill.

In an instant, a piece of information about the martial art of bouncing legs appeared in his memory, and many scenes of practicing bouncing legs appeared in his mind. It was as if Wang Xiao himself had practiced diligently and accumulated enough experience, and then made a breakthrough in one fell swoop. The muscles in his leg inexplicably changed a little bit, and became more coordinated.

Wang Xiao's understanding of the spring leg has also risen to a higher level.

When you have reached the level of mastery in the bouncing leg, you will also gain more techniques for generating power with your legs and for gathering strength.

The core pursuits of all the profound traditional martial arts that have been passed down to this day are only two points - health preservation and concentration!

To put it bluntly, it means immortality and power!
The internal martial arts that have health-preserving effects are those that are accompanied by internal breathing exercises. Those that are not accompanied by internal breathing exercises are purely about the pursuit of gathering strength and bringing every bit of strength contained in the body to the extreme.

The bouncing kick that Wang Xiao learned from Bilibili is the authentic twelve-way bouncing kick, which has its own supporting internal breathing method. However, the internal breathing method tends to transport qi and blood in the lower limbs, pursuing the ultimate leg power, and has almost no health-preserving effect. It is fundamentally different from the internal breathing method of Liuhequan, as well as the three major internal martial arts of Xingyi, Tai Chi, and Bagua.

Therefore, the bouncing leg is actually a leg technique that pursues ultimate lethality and force-generating skills.

Spring Kick: Mastery (5/1000)

It takes one thousand experience points to raise your proficiency to minor success.

The experience points required to advance from the minor success realm to the major success realm suddenly soared to five thousand.

The later you advance in each martial art, the more difficult it is to improve, but the improvement will also be greater and more obvious.

Wang Xiao has not yet mastered his skills, so he doesn't know how much experience points he will need to upgrade from mastery to perfection. However, judging by this increase, it will probably be exaggerated.

It is not easy to get a perfect or grandmaster-level skill even with cheats.

"Mr. Li, there's a car blocking our way."

The driver suddenly spoke.

Li Bowen immediately sat up straight and looked outside, and saw a van parked in front of him, blocking the road.

The driver asked, "Mr. Li, do you want to stop the car?"

Li Bowen couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's funny, someone dares to stop my car! Stop the car, let me see who it is."

The driver slowly slowed down and asked again, "Mr. Li, do you want to call the police?"

Li Bowen looked at Wang Xiao beside him. Wang Xiao also opened his eyes at this moment, looked at the people getting out of the car in front, and said softly, "It's them!"

Li Bowen also saw it and recognized the person.

The people who got off the van in front were the three black athletes who were ten lengths behind Wang Xiao in the marathon race, as well as Li Zhengguang, Wang Feng, Zhou Hua, and the big man who finally rushed towards Wang Xiao from the crowd and wanted to knock him to the ground.

Li Zhengguang walked straight over and knocked on the car window.

Li Bowen slowly lowered the car window, looked at Li Zhengguang outside, and asked calmly, "What's the matter?"

Li Zhengguang looked at Li Bowen, then saw Wang Xiao sitting motionless on a chair inside. He smiled softly and said, "Brother, congratulations on winning the championship and getting the prize money! Can we chat?"

Wang Xiao saw these people appear together, and he knew they were together. They must have been the ones who stopped him during the game. He immediately said in a cold tone: "If you have something to say, just tell me!"

Li Zhengguang nodded and said, "Brother, I checked and found out that you're not a professional athlete. You're an amateur who won the long-distance race for the first time. You have a great talent for long-distance running. I want to work with you and earn prize money together. There are many long-distance running competitions across the country every year. I'll take you to participate and we'll split the prize money in half! Just focus on running and winning, and I'll take care of everything else."

Wang Xiao shook his head: "Not interested!"

Li Zhengguang stared at Wang Xiao: "Nothing to discuss?"

Wang Xiao still shook his head: "If I want to win the championship, I will run on my own ability, I don't need your help. The three people who ran out to stop me today were all arranged by you, right?"

Wang Xiao glanced at the big man standing not far away.

Li Zhengguang shook his head and said, "Don't say that. Those are just long-distance running enthusiasts who support you. It has nothing to do with me. Since you don't want to cooperate, then forget it. If we meet again next time, we'll compete again!"

After saying that, Li Zhengguang wanted to turn around and leave.

He brought people to stop Wang Xiao specifically because he had found out some information about Wang Xiao and thought that Wang Xiao might be a long-distance running genius who could be won over.

If Wang Xiao doesn't agree, he won't force it. If he meets Wang Xiao again in the competition next time, he will make more detailed arrangements.

However, Wang Xiao said, "Wait!"

Li Zhengguang turned around and looked at Wang Xiao: "Brother, do you want to cooperate?"

Wang Xiao shook his head: "I won't cooperate with despicable people. I didn't let you go!"

Li Zhengguang's face turned ugly, and he said in a deep voice, "What do you mean?"

Wang Xiao slowly sat up and asked calmly, "You sent three people to stop me today. How do you deal with this?"

Li Zhengguang said seriously, "I told you, those three people have nothing to do with us! Don't talk nonsense. You need evidence to prove your point. Do you have any evidence?"

Wang Xiao reached out and gently opened the car door, staring at Li Zhengguang with an even sharper gaze. His tone was slightly cold as he said, "I'm not arguing with you, and I don't need evidence! I'm asking you, how do you handle this matter when you sent people to stop me? I'm not asking if you did it, I'm asking how you're going to resolve it!"

Li Zhengguang looked grim and waved behind him. Wang Feng, Zhou Hua, and the big man all came over.

Seeing this, Li Bowen directly pressed the dial button on his mobile phone and made a call.
