Chapter 118 The Great Perfection of Tai Chi Chuan
On this gentle slope where the respawn rate is not slow, he hardly needs to move, as monsters swarm in one after another, becoming the best source of resources for him to hone his fist techniques and accumulate proficiency.
He was completely immersed in this state.
With mind and fist intent in perfect harmony, perception is amplified to the extreme, allowing for clear grasp of the angle, speed, and strength of each monster's attack, and delicate control over the contraction of every muscle, the shift of center of gravity, and the release of force.
The profound principles of Tai Chi Chuan—leading the opponent into emptiness, using minimal force to deflect great force, and overcoming strength with softness—were repeatedly pondered and experienced in these practical battles, gradually sinking from the level of understanding to the level of bodily instinct.
Sweat gradually seeped out.
His hair was damp with sweat and stuck to his skin.
The color of the rough cloth outfit darkens on the shoulders, back, and underarms.
But he seemed oblivious, simply repeating the moves he already knew by heart, making subtle adjustments to pursue a more harmonious, efficient, and effortless way of exerting force.
Time loses its meaning in this high-intensity, highly focused practice.
Only the constantly fluctuating and steadily increasing proficiency numbers at the edge of the field of vision mark the progress.
The monsters on the gentle slope were cleared out in one round, but they quickly respawned.
Wu Feng moved nimbly within the small space, his fist shadows and palm winds enveloping an area of about ten feet around him, forming an invisible domain.
Any monster that intrudes into this area, no matter which direction it attacks from, will ultimately be sent flying backward at an even faster speed and die on the spot.
In my backpack, the copper coins dropped by monsters and the occasional low-quality fur materials are slowly accumulating.
He didn't bother to look closely; he just mechanically threw punches, neutralized the force, and killed the target before moving on to the next one.
Before we knew it, the sun had climbed to its zenith, and the intense sunlight pierced through the sparse canopy of trees, casting dazzling patches of light on the slope.
As the temperature rises, the moisture in the forest evaporates, carrying with it the smells of blood and dust, making it somewhat stuffy.
Wu Feng's clothes were soaked through and clung to his body.
His breathing remained steady and long, but sweat streamed down his forehead, and he occasionally had to blink to wipe away the beads of sweat that had slipped into his eyes.
The continuous exertion, dodging, and intense concentration take a real toll.
If it weren't for the extremely fast recovery speed of true qi brought by the Great Perfection of "Harmony with the World" and the ability to faintly resonate with the surrounding world and absorb meager primordial energy to replenish oneself, it would probably be difficult to sustain such a long period of high-efficiency continuous combat.
On the attribute panel, the proficiency number next to 【Tai Chi (Perfect)】 has skyrocketed from over 130,000 this morning, breaking through 200,000, 250,000, 300,000...
As the sun began to set, casting his long, slanted shadow across the slope, the numbers in his skill bar finally approached the critical point:
Tai Chi (Complete 398600/400000)
Only 1,400 more proficiency points are needed.
Wu Feng took a deep breath, suppressing the barely perceptible ripples in his heart.
His gaze swept across the gentle slope, just as a new wave of monsters spawned. Three wild boars and five hyenas appeared from different directions, growling and locking onto him, the intruder.
He didn't rush forward, but slowly adjusted his breathing to calm his heartbeat, which had accelerated slightly due to the long battle.
Guided by intention, the surging internal energy flows more smoothly and closely matches the intent of the fist.
Then, he moved.
With a swift movement, he darted between the two wild boars that charged at him like a fish.
The wild horse parted its mane and drew its bow with both hands, placing its paws on the sides of the wild boar's neck. With a stroke and a pull, the two immense forces collided, causing them to lose their balance and crash together, dizzy and disoriented.
Before they could react, Wu Feng spun around, performing a "turning lotus kick," and his right leg swept out like a whip, carrying a spinning force that was both soft and strong, kicking one wild boar in the jaw and the other in the waist.
The cracking sounds of bones breaking rang out almost simultaneously, and the two wild boars collapsed to the ground, howling in pain.
A third wild boar seized the opportunity and charged at us from behind.
Wu Feng seemed to have eyes in the back of his head. He didn't turn around or dodge. Instead, he slightly lowered his waist and hips, shifting his center of gravity and planting his feet firmly in the ground.
"As if sealing or closing," the arms are drawn in a circle behind, seemingly slowly, but just at the moment the tusks reach the body, the outside of the arms are pressed against the sides of the wild boar's head.
Engage with closed-mouth energy.
There was no loud noise, only a muffled groan.
The wild boar's forward momentum came to an abrupt halt, as if it had crashed into an invisible wall of air. Its entire head was gripped by a supple yet immense force squeezing inward, its eyeballs bulged out, blood slowly seeped from its seven orifices, and it collapsed limply.
[Tai Chi proficiency +210.]
[Tai Chi proficiency +210.]
[Tai Chi proficiency +210.]
Five hyenas seized the opportunity to pounce from all directions, their claws and teeth menacing.
Wu Feng suddenly sped up, like a butterfly flitting among flowers, weaving through the wolf shadows.
"Cloud Hands" deflects the frontal attacks; "Jade Maiden Shuttle" dodges a flanking attack; "Single Whip" cleaves the spine of a wolf; "Groin Strike" bursts forth in a short burst, piercing the abdomen of another wolf...
The movements alternate between fast and slow, combining strength and gentleness, fully demonstrating the essence of Tai Chi Chuan in dealing with group attacks.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the last coyote tucked its tail and tried to escape. Wu Feng took a step forward and caught up with it. "Advance and block punch", the fist was like a hammer, and it struck first after being hit by the opponent's punch, and imprinted on the back of the coyote.
"Bang!"
The hyena lunged forward, but by the time it landed, it was already lifeless.
[Tai Chi proficiency +210.]
[Tai Chi proficiency +210.]
……
As the last hyena fell, the golden notification finally appeared at the edge of the field of vision, with a calm and natural urgency:
[System Notification: Congratulations! Your Tai Chi Chuan has broken through to the highest level—Great Perfection! Arm Strength +150, Constitution +120, Agility +100. Your understanding and application of softness, neutralizing force, and hardness have reached their peak, achieving a harmonious balance of Yin and Yang, and fluid, effortless movement. When performing Tai Chi Chuan, you can create a "Tai Chi Force Field," slightly deflecting, slowing down, and neutralizing attacks within its range; the special effect "Tai Chi Circular Strike" is greatly enhanced, storing more power after successfully neutralizing or withstanding an attack, adding significant Yin-Yang composite force damage to the next attack; you gain the additional special effect "Borrowing Strength from the Universe": after successfully neutralizing or borrowing the enemy's power, you slightly increase all your attributes for a short period of time.]
A torrent of enlightenment, far more vast, profound, and harmonious than the state of perfection, rose from the dantian and instantly swept through every meridian, every inch of flesh and blood, and even the spirit and consciousness of the entire body!
In my mind, all the essence of Tai Chi Chuan is there.
The principles of Yin and Yang, the distinction between hardness and softness, the mechanism of movement and stillness, and the changes between emptiness and fullness are thoroughly integrated and understood without any further hindrance.
The waist and stance become one, as natural as breathing. All the joints in the body seem to be perfectly connected by invisible threads. When one moves, all the body moves; when one is still, all the body is still. The coordination is perfect.
That sense of using softness to overcome hardness, leading the opponent to miss, and using minimal force to deflect a great weight no longer needs deliberate guidance; it has become the body's most instinctive reaction.
The internal energy surged and surged, resonating with the new fist intent, becoming increasingly smooth and fluid in its circulation, endlessly regenerating.
Wu Feng stopped his stance and stood up, slowly pressing his arms down to his dantian, exhaling a long, distant breath.
Its breath was like an arrow, condensing into a straight white streak in the cool evening air, shooting out several feet away before dissipating after a long time.
He stood quietly, closing his eyes and sensing the changes inside and outside his body.
Power is surging.
The boost from the 150-point increase in arm strength is clearly perceptible; when I clench my fist, it feels as if I can crush metal and stone.
Increasing one hundred and twenty points in Constitution not only significantly boosts maximum health and defense, but also brings a sense of stability that comes from within, like being firmly rooted in the earth.
The increase of 100 points in agility made his body exceptionally light and coordinated, as if he could make the most precise and swift movements with the slightest thought.
More importantly, it's about understanding the boxing technique itself and the newly acquired special effects.
The three special effects, Tai Chi Force Field, Tai Chi Circular Rotation (Enhanced), and Borrowing Force, elevate the defensive, counter-attacking, and force-borrowing characteristics of Tai Chi to a whole new level.
Combined with his current terrifying base attributes, his combat power is far beyond what it used to be.
He slowly opened his eyes, his gaze gentle and restrained to the extreme, like two bottomless ancient wells, all his brilliance contained within, only occasionally flashing a heart-stirring, harmonious charm.
He brought up his attribute panel, his gaze falling on the newly refreshed [Tai Chi Fist] status:
Tai Chi Chuan (Grand Perfection)
A solid, abundant sense of power filled my heart.
"The bonus from perfecting first-class martial arts... is indeed very high." Wu Feng's lips curled up slightly, forming a clear and satisfied arc.
That almost frantic practice session lasting most of the day was worth it.
Only then did he have the mind to glance at the battle log displayed by the system.
A rough estimate suggests that from dawn to dusk, at least a thousand wild boars and hyenas were killed.
Inside the backpack, the scattered copper coins automatically stacked up, roughly estimated to be more than twenty taels of silver.
There's also a bunch of low-quality fur and fang materials that have little value, taking up a lot of inventory space.
Even a mosquito's leg is meat; these things can still fetch a good amount of money when sold to a grocery store.
