Starting with fishing, I've traversed a chaotic world of demons and martial arts.

Hongyun Martial Arts School.

Practice room.

"Tianxing, the Pianhong Jingwu Jue of our Hongyun Martial Arts School."

It's not the kind of martial art that's extremely lethal.

It focuses more on control over the body and breathing.

Especially breathing!

It is also the core of our Pianhong Jingwu Jue (a martial arts technique).

The Pianhong Martial Arts Technique is divided into four realms.

These correspond to the four realms of the mortal body, respectively.

Hongfei assumed a fighting stance and began to speak:

"The first level is called Turtle Breathing and Calming the Mind."

That corresponds to your current Body Tempering Realm!

The practice focuses on controlling the breath and initial introspection.

The imagery is inspired by a thousand-year-old sacred turtle, lying at the bottom of the sea.

You have now reached the Great Perfection of the Body Tempering Realm.

With your aptitude, you should be able to learn this tortoise breathing technique for calming the mind very quickly.

Li Tianxing stood beside Hongfei and began to imitate his stance.

Practicing the Graceful Martial Arts Technique...

As expected of a personally instructed disciple, he receives excellent treatment.

This is teaching by example and hands-on instruction!

Li Tianxing asked curiously:

"Master, that day when Senior Brother Da Guang and I were sparring..."

How did you demonstrate your use of "qi" in the past?

It's not only when you reach the fourth stage of mastery that you can achieve this.

When the Qi permeates the entire body...

Is it only through this process that an air film can be formed around the body, creating a powerful fighting force?

Hongfei smiled slightly:

"That's right, but I've already told you."

Our Pianhong Martial Arts Technique places greater emphasis on breath control training.

In fact, "qi" exists not only within our bodies, but also between heaven and earth and all things.

The fourth realm, a powerful being who has reached the Great Perfection of the Qi Circulation Realm.

It allows you to freely manipulate the body's Qi to form an Qi film.

But we have cultivated the Flying Swallow Martial Arts Technique.

After consciously strengthening our breathing, we can use breathing to gain a basic understanding of the Qi (vital energy) in our body.

Although it cannot be done as easily as "qi penetrating the whole body".

But it can deliver a fatal blow to the opponent at a crucial moment!

Li Tianxing stopped talking and began to follow Hongfei's guidance...

Feel the changes in your breathing.

Hongfei's fingertips kept tapping various parts of Li Tianxing's body.

He helped Li Tianxing correct subtle changes in his movements:

"The first exercise is to practice tortoise breathing and calm the mind."

Your breathing must be deep, long, fine, and even, flowing from your lungs into your abdomen, and from your abdomen back to your spirit!

Li Tianxing felt the subtle sounds of his own breathing and the flow of air in his nasal cavity and trachea!

Until you can hear the faint tidal sound of blood and qi flowing through your body!

His breathing was slow, his muscles were relaxed, and he felt a strange sense of ease.

"This feels so good!"

My body, which was usually tense from martial arts practice, was relaxed, and my breathing pattern was corrected!

Is this the core advantage of the Flying Swallow Martial Arts Technique?

Li Tianxing felt his breath acting as a guideable warm current, flowing throughout his body!

Li Tianxing was secretly delighted...

This is the legendary "Vipassana"!

Hongfei looked at Li Tianxing's visible progress and couldn't help but sigh inwardly...

This kid's comprehension is terrifying!

From this perspective...

Today he will be able to fully learn the first level, "Turtle Breathing and Mind Concentration".

How long did it take me to learn this tortoise breathing technique to calm my mind?

Seven days or ten days?

Even Xiao Han, the most talented student under my tutelage, seemed to have taken three days...

That brat Ah Meng took five days.

It seems like Da Guang spent ten days...

But it seems that Tianxing only needs half a day at most!

……

Li Tianxing's breathing became slower and slower, his breathing rhythm resembling that of a sea turtle.

He inhaled very slowly and deeply, but exhaled slowly and gently.

Li Tianxing slowly withdrew his stance, his eyelids twitching slightly...

[Technique: The Graceful Martial Arts Manual (Beginner)]

Progress: (1/300)

[Ability: Turtle Breathing and Mind Stabilization.]

[Turtle Breathing and Mind Cultivation: Prolonged and deep breathing enhances control over the body, allows for preliminary introspection, and enables the concealment of breathing and heartbeat sounds, making it suitable for stealth in certain environments.]

"The Flying Swallow Martial Arts Technique, what a powerful skill."

After being upgraded by the panel, it has reached a new level!

Moreover, as I learned more and more martial arts, my strength grew stronger and stronger.

With the added benefit of "reading" techniques, my comprehension has become increasingly stronger.

Now, anyone can directly reach the beginner level in cultivating techniques!

As Li Tianxing learned the Raging Waves Fist and the Graceful Swift Martial Arts Technique...

He increasingly felt the gap caused by the different grades of cultivation techniques.

The higher the grade of the cultivation technique, the stronger the resulting power.

Although high-grade cultivation techniques are very difficult to master, this is not a problem for Li Tianxing!

No matter how difficult the technique, as long as Li Tianxing practices diligently and takes one step at a time, he will eventually reach the end!

Hongfei patted Li Tianxing on the shoulder:

"Tianxing, congratulations."

I have successfully learned the first level of the Flying Swallow Martial Arts Technique: Turtle Breathing and Mind Stabilization!

The remaining three are:

Swallowing the body to temper it, breathing in and out to condense and store energy, and controlling the qi with astonishing speed.

These correspond to the Blood Bone Realm, Condensation Realm, and Breath Circulation Realm, respectively.

Next, I will demonstrate the key points of the second level of body tempering...

And the key points of the third level of breathing exercises and condensation.

You memorize the mnemonic and key points.

Practice diligently in the future!

Especially with the second level of the Whale Devouring Body Tempering, you'll soon break through to the Blood Bone Realm!

So you should experience it more first!

Li Tianxing clasped his hands in a respectful gesture and said:

"Thank you, Master! I will remember this!"

Hongfei said with satisfaction:

"Normally, I wouldn't teach this quickly, but your comprehension is just too extraordinary."

I'll just teach you the first three levels...

You'll have to figure it out yourself from now on.

I haven't fully grasped the fourth level of the "Amazing Qi Control" technique yet.

So I won't teach you yet, lest I mislead others.

The core essence of body tempering through ingestion lies in...

Breathing in and out like a whale drinking from the sea, to cleanse the body, temper the blood and refine the bones!

Use your breath to stimulate your blood and qi, and thus refine your body!

Combining breath control with techniques makes the transmission of power throughout the body more efficient.

The blood and bones will also receive deeper nourishment…

Li Tianxing stood beside Hongfei, learning from him step by step.

Li Tianxing devoted himself wholeheartedly to the task.

Hongfei taught diligently.

Both of them lost track of time!

……

sunset.

The last rays of sunlight slanted into the Hongyun Martial Arts Hall.

Li Tian walked out of the training room and came to the front hall.

If you look closely, you'll notice that Li Tianxing's demeanor has changed.

In the past, he would simply walk on the street.

Others can tell that he is a martial artist.

But now his aura is calm and restrained.

It would be difficult for an ordinary martial artist who has never been to the area to judge Li Tianxing's skill level.

Li Tian walked to the entrance of Hongyun Martial Arts School:

He turned and bowed to Hong Fei, saying:

"Thank you, Master!"

Today I not only learned the Raging Waves Fist Technique.

He also learned the "Pianhong Jingwu Jue" (a martial arts technique), from which he benefited greatly.

Hongfei felt very gratified at this moment.

Li Tianxing learned very quickly and grasped things immediately, which made him feel inexplicably comfortable.

It's like how teachers in a school all like students who are bright and have excellent grades.

"As your master, it is my duty to teach you martial arts diligently."

You've progressed so quickly that there's very little I can guide you with in the future.

My Hongyun Martial Arts School is open to you whenever you want to practice martial arts.

If you have something to do, go and do your own thing!

Li Tianxing told Hongfei about his need to catch thirty treasure fish.

Hongfei understood him very well...

They did not forcibly bind Li Tianxing inside the Hongyun Martial Arts School.

"Understood, Master. I shall take my leave now."

I'll be there to oversee the escort mission!

Li Tianxing clasped his hands in a fist salute, preparing to leave.

At that moment, Hongfei called out to him.

He came to Li Tianxing's side and asked with concern:

"Tianxing, I've heard about your dealings with the Black Dragon Gang."

Zhang Xiaohao, the leader of the Black Dragon Gang, is no pushover.

I have had many interactions with Zhang Xiaohao and know that he is ruthless.

Moreover, the Black Dragon Gang has the Chen family as its backer.

Even if he doesn't openly bully you, he won't dare to directly cause you trouble.

But you did kill his son!

So be careful of the danger behind you!

If you encounter any danger, just come to my Hongyun Martial Arts School!

And I will also go to the Black Dragon Gang to see his dead son.

Li Tianxing turned around, looked at his master, and said sincerely:

"Master, don't worry."

With Director Feng Lin and you as my backers, I'm fortunate.

Zhang Xiaohao wouldn't dare to touch me easily.

And it can't kill me...

Ultimately, it will only make me stronger.
