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

"Senior sister, could it be the breathing method?"

Shi Wen asked curiously.

It wasn't just the Bajiquan routine that Li Qianqian just performed.

When I was observing Wei Shan's methods just now, his breathing was like the roar of a beast, as if he had thunder in his chest. When his various killing moves were unleashed, it was like a burst of breath, which was extremely frightening!

"That's right, it's related to breathing."

Li Qianqian nodded and said, "The core of Bajiquan, besides the continuity of its moves and the more refined parts, is related to its breathing method."

"The human body is full of wonders, and special breathing techniques can make killing moves more lethal and temper the body more deeply, achieving the effects of regulating breath and nourishing the spirit, preventing diseases and maintaining health, prolonging life, and strengthening the body!"

She went to the specially made wooden dummy to demonstrate.

The same punch, delivered with normal force and with special breathing techniques, has drastically different destructive power!

"Every superior martial art is paired with a special breathing method, which allows the martial art to unleash unexpectedly powerful destructive force. If the moves alone cannot unleash the corresponding destructive force, it is difficult to achieve the correct level of body tempering."

"It can be said that without internal energy cultivation techniques, even if you master all the martial arts moves, you will only achieve half the result, and may even suffer backlash..."

She briefly described the importance of the internal breathing method.

Shi Wen nodded from time to time.

Indeed, for top-tier martial arts, the absence of internal energy cultivation techniques is practically useless.

For example, in the "Taibao Henglian Gong" he learned, the internal breathing method is extremely important.

If one does not use internal breathing techniques to coordinate with the practice when tempering the whole body, firstly, one will get injured; secondly, one will not be able to train at all; and thirdly, one will not be able to unleash the so-called killing moves.

"Junior Brother Shi, I will teach you the internal energy cultivation method. Listen to the steps I will describe and try it out."

"Take a breath, take three steps, inhale, take three steps, and repeat this cycle, feeling as if air currents are flowing from all directions around your body..."

Li Qianqian began teaching the Stone Warm Internal Breathing Method.

Shi Wen, quick to learn, mastered the internal breathing techniques of Bajiquan and demonstrated the "Six Harmonies and Eight Desolations Bajiquan" to Li Qianqian.

During this time, Li Qianqian gave some pointers. Seeing that Shi Wen had almost mastered the stance, she nodded and smiled, "Junior Brother Shi, you have a high level of comprehension. You've already got the hang of it after only two repetitions."

"Just keep fighting like this. Once you get used to combining internal energy training, your blood tempering level will increase significantly within two or three months. Then you can try blood clotting. But you must be careful when you reach the blood clotting stage."

"The coagulation period is different from the quenching period. The coagulated blood contains properties such as penetration and explosion, which can produce extremely powerful destructive force on external objects."

"Therefore, the stage of condensing qi and blood into blood qi is somewhat dangerous. If it fails to condense, it can easily lead to a backlash of qi and blood."

"But this stage is still early for you..."

Shi Wen listened quietly as Li Qianqian explained the key points.

After Li Qianqian finished speaking, he feigned curiosity and asked, "Senior Sister Li, I've heard that breathing techniques can strengthen muscles and bones, improve physical strength, and change one's constitution. Is that true? What are breathing techniques?"

"Can breathing exercises strengthen muscles and bones, improve physical fitness, and enhance overall health?"

Li Qianqian was somewhat surprised at where Shi Wen had heard this.

But he still patiently explained, "Junior Brother Shi, breathing techniques are a special secret method at a higher level than internal breathing techniques. They emphasize the ability to accelerate the tempering of blood and achieve a certain tacit understanding with martial arts through a special breathing frequency."

"Generally, you only need to learn breathing techniques when you are about to reach the Yuan Blood stage."

"Breathing techniques can accelerate the tempering and circulation of blood throughout the body, achieving a special way to rapidly temper blood and qi, thereby building up a blood membrane."

"But ordinary breathing techniques are basically not available on the market, and this has become a core part of martial arts."

"Even in our martial arts academy, one can only learn breathing techniques if one becomes Master Li's last disciple or is about to reach the Yuan Blood stage."

Li Qianqian said seriously, "Currently, apart from our senior brother, there are no other disciples in our martial arts academy who have reached the Yuan Blood stage. Martial arts cultivation is not something that can be achieved overnight; it requires many years of training to step into the Yuan Blood stage."

"As for what you said about breathing techniques that can strengthen muscles and bones and change one's constitution... I'm sorry, I haven't heard of that."

"I see."

Shi Wen nodded silently, but he was very interested in the broken breathing technique he had seen on the Extreme Seal.

He saw that breathing technique very clearly.

Not only can it strengthen muscles and bones and temper the body, but it can even change one's constitution and receive a baptism of earth energy every month!

Each explanation may not seem groundbreaking, but they all offer real benefits, far superior to the breathing method introduced by Senior Sister Li!

Unfortunately, it took too long to deduce the breathing technique.

It will take a full ten years!

Otherwise, what else could he say? He really wanted to experience firsthand the breathing technique derived from the Extreme Seal, and see just how it differed from other methods!

"If we could find something that could shorten the deduction time of the Extreme Seal, that would be great."

Shi Wen sighed softly.

Swallow the precious blood.

I spent the whole afternoon practicing "Liuhe Bahuang Bajiquan" and silently mastering the moves.

Because the formal Bajiquan has many moves, and every move is a killing move.

In addition, there must be a corresponding internal breathing method to coordinate with each movement and move in order to be considered effective practice, so the speed at which Shi Wen improves his proficiency in the early stages is not fast.

This martial art cannot be mastered through brute force like the "Taibao Horizontal Training Technique".

In one afternoon, one can only formally practice 5 times.

During this time, many inner court disciples secretly observed this new disciple, but quickly shook their heads and stopped looking.

They thought this guy named Shi Wen would have a high level of comprehension and be able to break through the shackles of his physique, but when he was learning the core martial arts of the inner academy, they couldn't see anything special about him!

This "Six Harmonies and Eight Desolations Eight Extremes Fist" is performed crookedly and awkwardly.

It's also not coherent.

Isn't this just below average?

The core martial arts of the boxing academy are not as simple as basic skills.

Once you're familiar with the moves, you'll need to master the coordination between internal energy cultivation techniques and the moves themselves.

Haha, if you play like this, you'll be lucky to even get the basics down after a few months!

It seems this kid's ability to temper his blood has a large element of luck involved!

"Junior Brother Li, come here for a moment, we're having a meeting in the inner courtyard."

A female disciple from the inner court named Xi Ying came over and called out to him. She looked at him curiously for a moment, then ran outside to find Zhou Heling.

soon.

Under the shade of trees in the inner courtyard.

More than twenty people watched Li Qianqian speak.

Shi Wen stood at the back of the crowd, unremarkable, his gaze curiously surveying the group, including some inner court disciples he had never seen before.

After Li Qianqian explained, Shi Wen understood why so many disciples had come today.

It turns out that the rebel army in the neighboring Tiannan Prefecture had seized power, and the matter had escalated to a great extent.

In order to boost morale across the country and select martial arts prodigies, the imperial court convened the triennial martial arts examination ahead of schedule.

The goal of the martial arts examination in Heiyun County is to select candidates from eligible young people.

If one can win first place in the martial arts examination, one can obtain official rank, be exempted from labor and taxes for the whole family, and receive various great medicines, advanced martial arts and divine weapons as rewards from the imperial court!

These words were spoken.

Many inner court disciples eagerly signed up with Li Qianqian.

Even Zhou Heling, who had an injured hand, excitedly ran over and signed up.

After all, as long as you pass the martial arts examination, you can become a martial arts scholar, and you will be exempt from taxes and labor service, and you can also receive extra subsidies from the government every year.

Furthermore, this military examination was specially convened by the imperial court to appease the local areas, so the rewards are sure to be generous.

Who wouldn't want to sign up?

As for the martial arts examination...

He wanted to pass the imperial examination in Heiyun County and become a martial arts graduate.

The preliminary stage alone can eliminate a large number of people!

Without being in the Yuan Blood stage and without using Qi and Blood, no one can lift a thousand-pound hard bow or stone lock with bare hands!

Moreover, this is only the most basic standard.

"If no one has any objections, I will sign up for all of you," Li Qianqian said. "Since this year's martial arts examination is being held earlier than usual, I'll take this opportunity to broaden my horizons. There will be another martial arts examination in two years, and I can participate then."

Upon hearing this...

Many inner court disciples agreed.

The martial arts examination was a major event held in Heiyun County, with an unknown number of participants.

Then we will be able to witness the martial arts of various schools and the geniuses from all over the world.

It's also a lively and exciting event that martial arts practitioners like!

"Junior Brother Qin, this time you sign up to take the martial arts exam first, just to broaden your horizons. Then, in two years, you can take the martial arts examination and become a martial arts graduate."

Wei Shan chuckled, "You should know that Junior Brother Qin is a genius with an eighth-grade root bone. It shouldn't be a problem for him to become a martial arts candidate in two years, unlike some people who rely on luck to temper their blood and qi, but can only stay in the same place for their entire lives."

"Senior brother is joking. I have only just mastered the basics of the Six Harmonies and Eight Desolations Eight Extremes Fist. It will take quite some time before I reach a minor level of proficiency."

Although Qin Huan said that, his face was full of pride.

"Impressive, junior brother! You truly deserve to be called a genius of our boxing academy."

Wei Shan followed suit, his provocative gaze subtly sweeping over Shi Wen.

Unfortunately, seeing that Shi Wen paid him no attention, he could only turn his gaze away in disappointment.

After the registration for the martial arts examination is completed.

Sun Mingting spoke up, "Senior Sister Li, are we not going to deal with the Flying Cloud Pavilion matter?"

"The martial arts examination is imminent, and the preliminary martial arts test is in seven days. Besides, Master Li is away on business and won't be at the martial arts academy for the time being. Let's go to Feiyun Hall to seek justice after the martial arts examination is over!"

"That's it, meeting adjourned!"

After Li Qianqian finished speaking, no one present dared to say anything more.

They all dispersed.

The school bell rang to signal the end of the school term.

Shi Wen did not leave immediately; he familiarized himself with some of the moves.

He had just left the boxing academy wearing the clothes of an inner disciple.

Unexpectedly, many of the outer courtyard disciples, who usually left after school, were still practicing their skills.

The outer disciples saw him come out.

They all pretended to be busy, but after Shi Wen left, the jealousy and complex emotions on their faces lingered for a long time.
