Martial Arts: Starting with Bajiquan, I will prove my divine power through the ultimate path!

Shi Wen was secretly delighted.

The Ultimate Seal was a cheat code he discovered after transmigrating to this world.

The Extreme Seal can digitize martial arts. As long as one improves their proficiency, they will be able to master the most perfect martial arts without any bottlenecks!

[The "Bajiquan Basic Skills for Beginners" is now digitized, with the data presented as it is today:]

[Bajiquan Basic Skills for Beginners: Not yet a beginner (0/1)]

"It really worked!"

Shi Wen clenched his fists, his heart filled with joy!

He drank a bowl of coarse tea in the outer courtyard and waited until he regained his strength.

He immediately gritted his teeth and got up to practice his skills.

He stood awkwardly in the Two Forms Stance for half an hour, practiced the Breakthrough Step, and executed six consecutive killing moves, already drenched in sweat.

And the data on Jiyin.

Subtle changes have also occurred.

[Bajiquan Basic Skills for Beginners: Introduction (1/50)]

"You've mastered it!"

In an instant, Shi Wen felt a warm current flowing through his body, with the warm current being most noticeable in his legs.

He also saw that his originally slender legs had developed prominent muscle lines, and he also gained some more memory information about basic skills in his mind.

When he performed the Two Elements Stance again, his movements were noticeably more precise than before.

When practicing the stepping technique.

He gained a deeper understanding.

"So, the 'breakthrough step' relies on the power generated by pushing off with the legs, which is then transmitted through the waist and hips to the opposite hand, thus unleashing a burst of power!"

"And those six basic killing moves actually contain a great deal of essence..."

The pile driving at Shiwen Station has been completed.

Start practicing the moves.

The "Supporting Strike" is also known as the "Breaking Bow and Shooting Arrow" technique. The power originates from the feet and is transmitted through the waist and hips to the fist, creating a penetrating force that specifically targets the chest and abdomen!

One blow and even a strong man will become a weakling!

The Mountain-Splitting Palm, also known as the Five Sacred Mountains Facing the Sky Cone, is specifically designed to attack the head and neck.

The palm strike to the face is primarily aimed at the throat and face.

The "Silk-Coiled Blowing Fist" technique involves using spiraling force to break free from a grappling position and then using the momentum to launch a powerful blow to the opponent's jaw or throat.

The "Heart-Piercing Elbow" is a deadly move among the basic skills!

Also known as the King of Hell's Summoning Hand, it can shatter an opponent's sternum and internal organs in an instant, and is the number one killing move in basic skills!

The "Mountain Lean" technique utilizes explosive power from the shoulders, back, chest, and hips to instantly knock opponents away!

"It may seem like basic skills, but it contains a complete set of training methods and techniques. Master Li is truly skilled!"

A glint of light flashed in Shi Wen's eyes.

Without mastering the basics, he couldn't discern much of the intricacies when practicing these moves.

Once he got started, he felt that mastering the six killer moves would be enough to conquer the world!

"If the basic skills are this formidable, I wonder how powerful the real Bajiquan must be?"

After regaining his strength, Shi Wen continued practicing his skills.

I don't know if it's because I'm too tired from practicing martial arts, or because the potato pancakes I ate this morning weren't filling enough.

I haven't been practicing for very long.

Shi Wen's abdomen made gurgling sounds, and his intestines felt like they were being tugged in knots. When he practiced, it felt like a thousand needles were pricking his body, which was extremely uncomfortable!

The basic skills were very difficult to master, and it was hard to complete them even once.

Fortunately, lunch was served.

Disciples practicing martial arts in the outer courtyard, those not practicing, and even some disciples wearing martial arts uniforms all walked in from outside, heading to the dining hall in a large group.

Shi Wen was dumbfounded.

You should know that we didn't see so many disciples in the outer courtyard just now.

But when it was time to eat, more than sixty people suddenly gathered, which was simply outrageous.

Shi Wen practiced his skills all morning.

Soaked in sweat and raindrops, Shi Wen simply changed into his training clothes.

To be honest, although the boxing academy's training uniforms were also made of Ge Bu, they were clearly better made than his clothes.

The training uniform was a brown short-sleeved shirt with the boxing academy's logo embroidered on the left chest.

Shi Wen lined up for his meal, and soon it was his turn.

He was quite shocked when he saw it.

There was rice in the wooden bucket!

Although this rice was just coarse rice, with grains of varying lengths and small black pebbles and husks visible, in the memory of the previous owner, rice was only eaten during festivals!

Next to the rice bucket were two buckets of meat and one bucket of soup.

No wonder so many people came back to eat silently at mealtimes; the food is really good.

People lined up to get their food. Each bowl was full of rice, topped with meat, and a bowl of soup.

Smelling the aroma of meat wafting over, Shi Wen's appetite was whetted, and he took his food to find a place to sit down.

There are seats in the dining hall, but those are reserved for inner court disciples.

Most of the disciples in the outer courtyard would just find a place to sit down and start eating, without any regard for appearances.

Shi Wen quietly found a place to sit down and eat, but unexpectedly Yan Kai, who was sitting in his seat, waved to him, "Junior Brother Shi."

"Senior Brother Yan?"

Shi Wen saw this and quickly went over. "Is there something you need?"

He glanced discreetly at the people sitting at their seats eating, both men and women, all of them strong and tall, and their food was clearly much better than theirs, including braised pork, pig's feet, and ribs.

"Dear senior brothers and sisters, this is the junior brother who joined the boxing academy today."

Yan Kai smiled and said, "This junior brother is handsome and hardworking. I saw him practicing his skills all morning without taking a break. He will probably become a member of our inner courtyard in the future."

The inner court disciples who had never seen Shi Wen before glanced at him briefly.

He then turned his gaze away, showing no interest whatsoever.

This junior brother is indeed quite handsome, but good looks can't be used as a basis for talent.

Those who practice martial arts either have good physical constitution or a wealthy family background. Practicing martial arts requires adequate nutrition and medicine to nourish the body; otherwise, the body simply cannot develop its qi and blood!

Shi Wen was just one of those people who left silently two months later.

They might not even last two months.

He introduced himself to Yan Kai.

Shi Wen hurriedly greeted everyone, but ended up in an awkward situation.

Nobody paid any attention to him.

"How was your practice today, junior brother? You should rest well at noon, and I'll give you some pointers this afternoon."

Yan Kai also felt awkward.

After chatting with Shi Wen for a couple of minutes, he poured some meat into a small plate for him and then turned to continue chatting with the inner court disciples.

The inner disciples mostly chatted about which martial arts academy or school had a younger generation of disciples who had reached what level of cultivation, the rise and fall of a certain gang, and which place offered the best salary and benefits for temporary positions.

The content of the conversation.

It has nothing to do with a poor kid like him who can't even make ends meet.

Shi Wen, of course, wouldn't invite trouble upon himself.

He told Yan Kai and then turned and left.

This scene was witnessed by many outer court disciples, which inevitably sparked some ridicule and disdain. They all believed that this newcomer wanted to rise to the top in one step and was trying to seduce an inner court disciple.

Shi Wen remained silent, quietly eating to replenish his energy.

After we've eaten our fill.

Back in the outer courtyard, he found a corner to continue practicing his skills.

This scene was witnessed by some disciples who had returned to the outer courtyard after finishing their meal, and they all showed disdainful looks.

They all believed that Shi Wen was trying to attract attention and gain popularity.

Instead of taking a nap after lunch, I went to practice my martial arts.

So you want to attract the attention of Master Li and those inner court disciples?

Shi Wen ignored him.

He simply found that after eating a full meal, he felt good during his practice and had a lot of energy in his body.

The improvement in his proficiency with the Extreme Seal is the source of his motivation to practice.

Others can't see the future or the progress, and over time they will become numb, disheartened, and give up.

But he was different.

He possesses the Ultimate Seal, which digitizes martial arts techniques. As long as his proficiency increases, he can break through to the next level.

You can see progress in every punch and kick!

Everything he did was driven by an extremely strong force that sustained his will to repeat the arduous and exhausting martial arts training over and over again!

During this time, some inner court disciples left the outer court and went outside.

We also saw Shi Wen practicing his skills during his lunch break.

They didn't pay much attention, quickly looked away, and left.

To be honest, if Yan Kai hadn't introduced them, they wouldn't have bothered paying attention to the outer disciples.

Can a newcomer rise to prominence?

Who among them isn't incredibly diligent when they first arrive, only to start questioning their existence after ten days or so, and then quit?

It's rare to find someone who can hold out for two months before leaving!

The shameless ones come back for lunch, while the shy ones don't even bother to come.

Shi Wen remained silent.

He gritted his teeth and improved his proficiency once during the noon break, then found a corner and lay down to sleep in a sheltered spot, just like the other disciples.

It was afternoon by then.

The sounds of outer court disciples practicing their skills filled the air.

Shi Wen was woken up by the noise.

He opened his sleepy eyes, and only then did he feel all sorts of aches and pains throughout his body.

He looked down at his palm, and the pain in his body seemed to vanish.

【Extreme Seal】

[Bajiquan Basic Skills for Beginners: Introduction (3/50)]

"Once I practice the basics 50 times, I'll have achieved a minor level of proficiency."

"I suppose once I've mastered the basics, I'll be able to refine my blood and qi. Only by becoming a Blood Refining stage martial artist can I barely protect myself in this chaotic world. If I become an inner disciple, the Red Lantern Gang probably won't dare to sacrifice me to the gods in Dragon Sorrow Valley anymore..."

With this idea in mind.

Shi Wen gritted his teeth and persevered. He got up and sat for a while to clear his mind, then scooped up some cold water from the tub and washed his face.

He then continued practicing his skills.

In the afternoon, Shi Wen gritted his teeth and persevered in practicing his skills.

However, he could only increase his proficiency in the "Basic Skills" by a maximum of 2 times before he became too tired to move.

It wasn't that he didn't want to practice, but his body couldn't withstand the high-intensity operation, so he had to stop forcibly. The soreness all over his body and the excruciating pain in his bones made it unbearable for him, and he simply couldn't maintain the state of practicing.

"This body has been suffering from hunger and cold for many years and is malnourished. It simply cannot withstand the high-intensity training."

"As expected, the poor study literature while the rich study martial arts. After only a few hours of training, I felt very hungry again, and my intestines were cramping like they were tied in knots. I heard that I need to drink medicinal soup and take medicinal baths to nourish my muscles and bones, otherwise my muscles and bones will have difficulty withstanding the intensity of martial arts training and will suffer internal injuries."

"Under these circumstances, let alone making a breakthrough, it's difficult to even maintain daily training."

"I wonder if possessing the Ultimate Seal will allow me to avoid this problem."

Shi Wen sat on the steps.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and silently estimated how many days it would take to master the "Basic Skills".

Thinking about it.

Now that he's joined the boxing academy, will the Red Lantern Gang hesitate to take action against him?

"Senior Sister Li is here!"

"Hello, Senior Sister Li, are you here to distribute the medicinal soup again today?"

"..."

A burst of noise pulled Shi Wen back to reality.

It turned out that it was Li Qianqian, a senior student from the inner courtyard, who came to distribute the medicinal soup. Yan Kai even ran over to greet her warmly.

The outer disciples, who were practicing stance training, stepping, and moves, all jogged over to line up for soup. Even the burly men blushed and became shy when facing the beautiful and gentle woman.

Shi Wen also went over to queue up and got a bowl of medicinal soup to drink.

After drinking a bowl of medicinal soup with a strong medicinal flavor, it felt as if a warm current was nourishing my internal organs.

The aches and pains throughout my body are gradually dissipating.

Shi Wen was shocked to find that his fatigue and muscle swelling had quietly disappeared, and after drinking a bowl of medicinal soup, it seemed that all the negative effects had vanished!

"Junior brother, I saw you practicing very diligently this afternoon. If there's anything you don't understand, remember to ask me. Don't be shy."

Yan Kai came over and said something.

During this period, he was assigned to manage the outer disciples and teach newcomers boxing.

More than a dozen new players have joined in the past few days, but Shi Wen is the only new player who has practiced for half a day and is already playing quite well.

Seeing that Shi Wen was practicing diligently and without making any mistakes, he didn't bother him.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Yan."

Shi Wen nodded. He wanted to drink another bowl, but Yan Kai stopped him, saying, "One bowl per person. You'll have to pay extra if you want more."

"Junior brother, don't underestimate this medicinal soup. The medicinal soups in the martial arts academy are all paired with martial arts training, and they are not cheap. The human body has its limits, and the medicinal soup is like firewood, adding fuel to the fire of the human body's furnace."

"Those senior brothers and sisters in the inner courtyard either soak in medicinal baths from a young age, drink medicinal soups, or practice basic skills from childhood. Those who can afford it obtain elixirs to nourish their bodies. With such a solid foundation, they can soar to great heights when they start practicing!"

"Like our senior brother Shang An from the boxing academy, his family is from the Chengnan Chamber of Commerce. He has been nourished with all kinds of powerful medicines since he was a child. Now he is only 27 years old and he is already a master of the Yuanxue stage."

"You might not have a good grasp of the Yuan Blood stage, but those famous experts in the city, like the leader of the Black Whale Gang, or even some martial arts instructors from the boxing academy and the county constable, are only at the Yuan Blood stage!"

"But the reason why Senior Brother was able to cultivate so quickly, besides his talent, is also related to money. Without money to eat meat, he couldn't continue cultivating; without money to buy medicine, his body was depleted!"

"So the saying 'the poor study literature, the rich study martial arts' is not a lie."

Yan Kai sighed for a moment, then turned around and went to help his senior sister Li Qianqian maintain order at the scene.

She has such a carefree personality.

After drinking the medicinal soup, Shi Wen rested for a while.

Continue practicing boxing.

I don't know if it's just psychological.

The medicinal decoction was indeed very effective.

After practicing the basic skills twice in a row, Shi Wen finally felt exhausted.

Rest, practice boxing, rest, practice boxing...

When someone in the boxing academy struck a gong and drum to signal the end of class, the outer disciples left the academy in twos and threes.

During this time, many disciples looked at the thin figure still practicing his boxing in the corner.

They scoffed at it.

If hard work were effective, everyone could become an inner court disciple.

Why pretend on your first day here?

After a while, won't their true colors be revealed anyway?

Haha, do you really think you have the talent to practice boxing and can really refine your qi and blood through the "Basic Skills"?

Some inner court disciples also came out from inside.

They seemed to be discussing something, and laughter continued.

The inner court female disciple named Zhou Heling smiled at Yan Kai and said, "Junior Brother Yan, let's go. It's time to meet with those ship gangs. Let's go and have a chat."

"good!"

Yan Kai was clearly waiting for someone.

Seeing them arrive, he smiled and left.

Clearly, they were discussing something important.

All of this has nothing to do with Shi Wen.

Sunset West Mountain.

Almost all the disciples from the inner and outer courtyards have left.

Li Qianqian came out from inside. She glanced at the boy practicing his boxing but didn't say anything.

Until the opponent finishes their final move after mastering the basics.

He had just said, "Junior Brother Shi, the boxing academy is closing soon, you should go back."

"Okay, senior sister."

Shi Wen was panting as he wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Seeing that the equipment in the outer courtyard was in disarray, he and Li Qianqian tidied up the things in the outer courtyard.

He said goodbye before turning and leaving.

"He's an honest junior brother, but unfortunately, good people can't be tolerated in this chaotic world."

Li Qianqian watched Shi Wen leave silently.

There weren't many ups and downs.

Clearly, over the years she has seen far too many people who come full of enthusiasm but leave disappointed.

Shi Wen was unaware of how outsiders felt.

He glanced at the Extreme Seal in his hand, feeling a sense of security filling his heart.

【Extreme Seal】

[Bajiquan Basic Skills for Beginners: Introduction (9/50)]

"In four more days, I will be able to master the basics."

"The Red Lantern Gang... hopefully the boxing academy will deter them!"

Shi Wen took a deep breath and hurried to the dock.

Heiyun County is a large county with a population of about 500,000. Its main livelihood depends on the canal transport system that originated from the Longwang River. It has two large wharves controlled by the government and the Black Whale Gang, as well as countless small wharves. The flow of people is as high as tens of thousands, and countless ships come and go every day.

This has supported countless people.

Shi Wen's family was of modest means; his father was a small merchant transporting goods by the canal, and his mother made a living by weaving baskets in a workshop.

When you run into a red-light district gang, you really have no way to express your suffering!

Shi Wen found his father, who was running a stall, at the dock.

Next to the stall, several members of the Red Lantern Gang deliberately stirred up trouble, trying to force the Shi Wen family to compromise on their plan to worship the gods at Longchoujian.

The man at the head of the group saw that it was Shi Wen who had arrived.

He gave a malicious look and twisted his neck, as if he was about to make a joke.

Out of the corner of my eye, I could see the boxing academy logo on Shi Wen's chest.

His expression shifted slightly, and he silently led his men away...
