Dawn of a New Era

Chapter 9: Tranquility and self-cultivation

"You prodigal son, what's wrong with stabbing, stabbing the wall, do you know how much it will cost to redecorate?" After a while, Mother Chen's sharp voice sounded in the restaurant.

"Mom, what did brother do again?"

At this moment, Chen Xingyue also came back.

As soon as he spoke, Chen Shouyi's face turned black with anger. What did I do?

Although I was indeed a little negligent this time, who would have thought that I could really penetrate the wall.

"Look, your brother has done a good job." Chen's mother signaled and said angrily.

At this time, the wooden chopsticks hadn't been pulled out, and were still stuck on the wall. Chen Xingyue took a closer look and said in surprise, "My brother did this?"

"Who else besides him said that he performed a lunge and stabbed straight, but he couldn't hold his head clearly and stabbed directly into the wall."

Chen Xingyue was a little puzzled and a little shocked. The so-called layman watched the excitement, and the expert watched the doorway. There were many such performances on TV shows. It seemed that a martial arts practitioner could do the same thing.

But there are no ordinary people who can go up to perform.

I don't know how difficult it is for wooden chopsticks to penetrate a wall with tiles. This is not just about strength and speed.

Its angle must be absolutely perpendicular to the wall. If it is slightly off, the chopsticks will break immediately. Even for a quasi-martial apprentice like her, it is difficult to do it once in ten times.

But how could my elder brother who has no martial arts talent do it?

In fact, even Chen Shouyi himself didn't know that the middle-aged martial arts teacher who absorbed his swordsmanship experience in the memory space, even though he was only a martial arts apprentice, might not be able to be promoted to a martial artist in his whole life. Can't compare.

However, this kind of martial artist apprentice has practiced repeatedly day after day for more than ten years, so it is not easy, especially in school, he only taught the bow step and straight thrust in swordsmanship. I don't know how many times I have practiced it, it is not comparable to Chen Xingyue, a young and tender quasi-warrior apprentice.

"Okay, okay! But there's a hole. I'll call tomorrow morning and ask someone to come over and exchange it." Chen Dawei said with a smile. Compared with this little money, he was more pleased with his son's change.

"This time I'm in charge. If you want to go to the martial arts cram school, go to it. You say how much it costs, and ask your mother to transfer it to you."

The family's financial power is all with Chen's mother, and his pockets are cleaner than Chen Shouyi's.

"You are being generous, it's not my money." Mother Chen gave him a blank look, but did not refute.

Although Chen's mother didn't say yes, Chen Shouyi still didn't understand at this moment, and quickly said, "I want to enroll in the advanced swordsmanship class. There are 20 lessons in one session, about six or seven thousand!"

His family is not very rich, but at least it can be called well-off.

The shop at home is his own without paying rent, and the annual income is about 200,000 yuan, plus the interest on private loans, which is not a small figure, and he is relatively well off financially.

"At that time, I will transfer seven thousand to you, and you will have no living expenses for this month." Mother Chen said with a cold snort.

Chen Xingyue kept surprisingly quiet beside her, with only a pair of big eyes, looking at Chen Shouyi flickeringly, wondering what was going on in her heart.

...

While eating dinner, Chen Shouyi secretly opened the attribute panel, and was pleasantly surprised to find that the energy accumulation had finally been broken. After finishing his meal in a hurry, he was eager to go back to the bedroom, but just as he opened the door, Chen Xingyue stopped him.

"Brother, when did you learn to lunge and stab?" Chen Xingyue asked, her voice was cloyingly sweet.

"A few days ago, what happened?" Chen Shouyi said impatiently, "What else is there? I have to do my homework. It's not like you have already recommended me. I still have to work hard."

"Oh! It's okay, I'm just curious."

"Then I'm going back to my room.

"As soon as Chen Shouyi finished speaking, he closed the door.

Looking at the closed door, Chen Xingyue gritted her teeth secretly: "A few days ago? You're lying to a ghost!"

...

When Chen Shouyi felt that Chen Xingyue had left, he immediately locked the door.

His heart was pounding, and he hurriedly called for the Book of Knowledge.

Name: Chen Shouyi

Attributes

Strength: 10.5

Agility: 10.5

Constitution: 10.4

Intelligence: 10.3

Perception: 10.3

Will: 11.0

Knowledge: Chinese language (proficient 6); physics (proficient 12); chemistry (proficient 11); biology (proficient 10); mathematics (proficient 9); English (proficient 6); computer (beginner 6); cooking (beginner 5 ); Thirty-six Forms of Body Training (Proficiency 2); Tranquility Training (Beginner); Swordsmanship (Beginner 8); Archery (Beginner)

Energy accumulation: 1.05

In the past few days, not only his physical attributes have increased significantly, but his knowledge and skills have also improved. For example, his English has improved a little.

But it is martial arts that has improved the most.

For example, the thirty-six body training moves from (beginner 5) to (proficient 2), and at the same time, swordsmanship has never been introduced, and it has been promoted to entry (8). This is just the result of him only mastering one sword move. In terms of lunge and straight thrusts in swordsmanship alone, the level is at least proficient.

He looked at the attributes panel, hesitating for a while. The knowledge and skills that he was planning to optimize next, such as learning knowledge, were directly excluded by him. He was still far away from the time for the college entrance examination, and it would not be too late to optimize it a month or two before the exam.

What's more, in his heart, he is still more keen on martial arts.

Next, swordsmanship was also ruled out by him.

In swordsmanship, he only masters lunge and straight stab, and optimization is not cost-effective, and this can also be learned quickly through memory space, unless he can't improve, he will waste energy points for optimization.

As for the arrow path, you don't even have a beginner, so naturally you don't need to think about it.

Chen Shouyi felt that he was far from being able to meet the standard physical attributes of a warrior apprentice, so he decided to continue optimizing the thirty-six exercises for body training.

"The thirty-six forms of body training that have been optimized once are already so powerful. Wouldn't it be more effective if optimized again?"

Cutting wood is not a mistake to sharpen a knife. Only when the physical fitness is up to standard can we continue to consider other things, otherwise it will be useless to practice more in other aspects.

Unexpectedly, just as he was about to optimize, he was told by the feedback information from the book of knowledge that he lacked energy.

"The second optimization will consume more energy?"

Chen Shouyi was stunned for a moment, he couldn't help but feel a little hesitant.

"Should I wait for the book of knowledge to accumulate enough energy, or should I optimize myself into meditation?"

The time for the former is unknown, but the latter can see immediate results. Chen Shouyi decided on the latter without much thought.

He can't afford to waste this time now, instead of waiting, he might as well choose what he can get immediately.

What's more, it is also extremely important to practice one's body in meditation, it can help oneself to control the body more easily, and control the muscles of the whole body to use every bit of strength in the body.

For many people, swordsmanship is extremely difficult to get started, and it is also extremely difficult to improve after getting started.

The main reason is that the muscles of the body cannot be finely controlled, but for a person who has initially completed "Training the Body in Tranquility - Refining the Meat", it is completely easy to practice, and there is no difficulty at all.

At the same time, it is also one of the important symbols of warriors.

If you can become a martial artist apprentice through hard work and good comprehension ability, then if you want to become a martial artist, you must refine the muscles of your whole body through "Training yourself in tranquility".

Without hesitation, Chen Shouyi immediately selected "Peacefulness and self-cultivation" and chose to optimize.

The next moment, the familiar dream appeared again. In the dream, he sat cross-legged with his heart turned to the sky, and practiced meditation over and over again. From the beginning, he was distracted and distracted, and later, he gradually calmed down.

As he practiced and tried for an unknown number of times, his mind became more and more peaceful, his mind seemed to exist but not to exist, to think but not to think, as if falling into a state of complete silence.

All external interference is completely shielded, only the sound of human activities is sharply amplified.

His breath was long and distant, his heart beat like a drum and hammer, his stomach stirred like swill, and he could even faintly hear the flow of blood on the blood vessels.

But in the dream, there is always a little clarity in his mind. He condenses his mind, blocks all sounds, and focuses his attention on the four extremities of his body.

He started to sense from the toes. At the beginning, the toes were very vague. He could easily feel them, but they had no specific shape, like a chaos.

The reason for this is that at this time, Gai's thinking has almost stagnated, leaving only the subconscious mind, imagination and previous memories have been isolated.

While here, he seemed to get stuck, practicing over and over.

In the dream, his mind became more and more tranquil, and he gradually fell into the deepest tranquility, and the change happened suddenly.

In a trance, a little matter seems to be born from the dark nothingness, and countless gray and dark intertwined emerge. These lines are divided into several strands that are intertwined with each other, like the complex texture of muscles, beautiful and shocking.

As if it was a signal, these lines soon began to slowly spread around, and the shape of a complete toe was gradually constructed. Soon the entire sole of the foot, and then the legs again. Then there is the whole body.

Gradually, light and dark changes appeared between the lines, and the boring lines became full and three-dimensional, as if changing from a two-dimensional picture to a three-dimensional one.

At the same time, more and more details began to appear. Chen Shouyi saw the tiny blood vessels between the muscles, various nerve endings, and lymphatic tissues.

At the end of the dream, the range of induction began to spread to the whole body, he saw the heart, lungs, bones and spine...
