After the darkness!

Lin Yijue did not hide anything and told him in detail about the bottlenecks and difficulties he encountered in practicing Yun Sheng boxing.

Although he had skill slots etched from the talent tree, he clearly felt that the rate at which proficiency was accumulated was slowing down as he progressed.

This is naturally because it is easy to learn but difficult to master.

Even if it has the effect of providing a permanent certificate, if the key is not fully understood, then one can only rely on "reading the book a hundred times and its meaning will become clear," which naturally reduces efficiency.

It would be foolish not to ask a renowned teacher at this point.

Wei Hong tapped her fingers lightly on the table and listened quietly. "Your understanding of Yun Sheng's boxing style is much deeper than I expected."

He glanced outside the office. "Come on, let's talk outside."

The two arrived outside the venue, right in front of the huge oil painting.

Before each class, after a basic warm-up, everyone needs to stare at the oil painting for three minutes, the purpose of which is to build up their courage.

But now, of course, they don't need it anymore.

Wei Hong then began to answer the questions raised one by one.

"First of all, the two problems you mentioned are not really bottlenecks at all, such as the coordination between kicking techniques and boxing techniques you mentioned."

Why is it that when everyone practices the same boxing style, or even when training routines, some people perform very well, but when they actually spar in real combat, they suddenly fall apart? The reason lies in the difference in reaction speed and sense of rhythm.

Based on my observation, your practical combat talent is actually quite good.

Lin Yijue listened quietly, watching Wei Hong walk to the sandbag.

"The so-called sense of rhythm and reaction speed are mainly about observation. You need to observe what the enemy is doing and then respond accordingly." Wei Hong smiled, stretched out her hand, made a fist, and gently tapped it on the sandbag before continuing to raise her leg for a side kick.

"The first observation depends on talent and experience, while the second response requires some skill."

He said:

"In any boxing style, punching and kicking techniques complement each other, and the foundation lies in momentum. Punching is to generate momentum, and kicking is to borrow momentum."

As he spoke, he suddenly sped up.

With a flick of his left fist, seemingly soft yet producing a soft thud in the air, Wei Hong's right leg swept out as Lin Yijue instinctively took a half-step back. The movement was incredibly fluid, and a black shadow flashed by as the sandbag was kicked and slammed heavily against the wall with a thud.

"If you are good at kicking, your punches are like hooks, drawing the opponent's attention; your kicks are like hidden arrows, taking advantage of the opening created by your punches. If you are good at punching, then it's the opposite."

If you want both to work well together, there needs to be a primary and a secondary element.

"As for the stagnation in the Cloud Rising Step, that's not actually your fault, but rather your lack of strength. You haven't fully mastered the Eighteen Forms yet, have you?"

"Not enough strength?" Lin Yijue's mind stirred. Strength was already in the realm of martial artists. The Eighteen Forms of Basic Forms: Returning to the Clear Strength, which can be said to be the mark of a martial artist.

"The core of the Cloud Rising Step lies in 'swallowing' and 'spitting out.' Swallowing is sinking the waist and dropping the hips, absorbing the opponent's force into the ground; spitting is twisting the hips and sending the shoulders forward, throwing out one's own force."

If you lack overall strength and rely solely on your waist and abdomen, the power won't flow throughout your body, and you'll definitely get stuck.

"Then what's the method for integrating strength?" Lin Yijue asked subconsciously.

"Of course, we should practice the 'Eighteen Forms'," Wei Hong said. "The 'Eighteen Forms' may seem simple, but they are the best way to organize and refine internal energy, and cultivate clear energy. Once you have cultivated clear energy, then you can think about other things."

"Alright, do you have any other questions?" He changed the subject and continued to ask.

"By the way, there's another question, Master Wei. Besides boxing, Yun Sheng Boxing also includes kicking techniques, grappling techniques, and throws, but most of them are only scratched the surface. I'd like to learn more about some of them," Lin Yijue said earnestly.

Wei Hong was taken aback. "Have you heard something?"

"What? What?" Lin Yijue answered subconsciously.

"Oh." Wei Hong looked him over carefully, then smiled. "It's good that you haven't heard of it. It's good that you have a desire to learn. It's fine to learn about it in advance. After all, if you really love fighting and want to pursue this path, this is something you must master."

"Is it absolutely necessary to master this?" Lin Yijue's heart stirred slightly, and he vaguely sensed that the other party had something in mind.

"Yes, if you want to become an elite disciple of the club and receive the club's martial arts secrets, you must start with the Cloud Rising Boxing Technique and gradually master the skills you mentioned."

Wei Hong said solemnly.

"The so-called martial arts secrets are the unique internal strength training methods of our Yun Sheng Sect," he added.

"In short, it can be summarized in one sentence: first punches, then kicks, then grappling, combining the five elements of weaponry and internal martial arts. This is the mantra of our Yun Sheng Sect's martial arts secrets."

"Give it a try. I'll teach you for half an hour after each get out of class. If you can master them all before the course ends, I can give you a surprise."

"So what will we teach today?" Lin Yijue asked subconsciously.

Half an hour later.

Lin Yijue walked out of the club.

At 5:30, the sky was already getting dark, and as the Cold River Period drew closer, it grew darker and darker.

The streets were brightly lit by neon lights, and in the distance, the high walls also lit up one after another, looking like rows of stars shining in the sky.

It cast a faint glow on the originally dark sky.

"First punches, then kicks, then grappling; a five-in-one combination of weaponry and internal martial arts—this is the secret path for a martial artist, the Yun Sheng Sect's martial arts secrets?"

Turning his gaze away from the distance, Lin Yijue seemed to be deep in thought.

Before this trip, he originally planned to take a loss and exchange it for some good things from Wei Hong.

I thought the other party would probably agree, but I didn't expect the rewards to be even greater than I imagined.

According to Wei Hong, the "Eighteen Styles" are considered an entry-level exercise. Compiled by the General Administration of Sport, they are already considered top-notch in terms of their effectiveness in building a foundation.

However, after entering the basics, if a martial artist truly wants to advance to the next level, they will need various martial arts secret techniques.

The other party took the opportunity today to reveal this information to him, and he naturally did not believe that it was a slip of the tongue.

So, is this considered a gesture of goodwill? Or perhaps a promise made in the dark?

Lin Yijue pondered this in his mind.

However, he quickly stopped thinking about it. In any case, the benefits were already in his hands!

He looked ahead, where the pale green talent tree swayed its branches in the evening breeze.

【Yun Sheng Boxing Technique: Mastery (2%)】

[Yun Sheng Foot Massage: Beginner (39%)]

"Talent Tree: Novice Boxer (Young Tree Stage)"

"Energy collection rate 72.2%, number of evolution attempts: 1, evolutionary stage: insufficient information, unknown."

Talent: [Tree-Talented Boxer (White): ...]

[Ye - Double Strike (White): ...]

[Ye - Exceptional Endurance (White): ...]

The Cloud Rising Boxing Technique, which was just a little short of proficiency, was directly mastered, providing nearly 40% of the energy accumulation for the talent tree.

He also learned the leg techniques from the Yun Sheng Club, namely the [Yun Sheng Chuo Jiao Technique].

Half an hour of instruction was enough to get him almost started.

Besides that, what's most exciting is that next to the talent tree, which has grown a little taller, there is a giant energy droplet.

It has a "Retrievable" label on it.

This is precisely the crystallization of consciousness energy that appeared when Yun Sheng's boxing skills reached their peak!
