I, Uchiha Yu, am solely focused on cultivating immortality

Chapter 16 Static Standing Posture

After three days of consideration, Uchiha Yu gave up the idea of ​​acquiring the Eight Gates.

This forbidden technique is extremely painful to practice, and what's worse is that there is no positive feedback. Forcing oneself to practice it is something one cannot endure.

Uchiha Yu had a very clear understanding of his own willpower.

Most importantly, during the Foundation Establishment stage, his core pursuit is for natural energy and physical body to advance in tandem, laying the most solid foundation for entering the next stage of cultivation.

In Uchiha Yu's vague memory, Taoist cultivation systems believed that a cultivator's body was a precious raft for crossing the world; once damaged,

Before the foundation is established, any harm that could damage the body must be absolutely avoided, and the fundamental source and foundation must not be damaged. Things like indulging in lust are unacceptable.

The intensity of training, like that of Might Guy and Might Guy, is even more terrifying than indulgence. If someone else did that, they would experience hematuria within just a few days.

Uchiha Yu was able to confirm that Might Guy had experienced hematuria at least ten times in the past ten years.

His body was riddled with holes; his arms, legs, waist, abdomen, and back muscles all bore the marks of rhabdomyolysis, and this had happened repeatedly.

Otherwise, there would never be a situation where muscle fibers adhere together.

In contrast to him was Might Guy, who, despite being only eleven years old, had already trained at the same intensity as his father, yet had no hidden injuries whatsoever.

Uchiha Yu was greatly surprised and could only sigh: Might Guy was not only an amazing taijutsu expert, but also a great father.

The Might family's rigorous training inevitably resulted in hidden injuries, but Might Guy was completely free of them, which was naturally due to Might Dai's meticulous care and sufficient medication.

Judging from Dai's income as a perennial ninja, he spent all his money on his son, while he himself just gritted his teeth and endured it, and didn't even have money to buy painkillers.

If Uchiha Yu hadn't embarked on the path of cultivation and achieved foundation building, he might have been determined to spend a fortune to hire Might Guy, who would surely have been able to design the strongest taijutsu training plan for him.

Moreover, hiring Matt Day to supervise the execution of one's training program can also eliminate one's laziness to the greatest extent.

But that's no longer possible. Uchiha Yu's body has undergone a major change. The changes brought about by Foundation Establishment are so exaggerated that Might Guy doesn't even need to examine him personally. Just a brief description to this taijutsu expert is enough for Uchiha Yu to reveal his secret.

The Uchiha clan should not have a self-healing ability exceeding that of the Senju clan, nor should they have a chakra reserve exceeding that of the Uzumaki clan.

These are all potentially deadly secrets.

Therefore, it's best to wait until you've completed the foundation-building stage before trying to figure it out on your own.

Despite carrying a weight ten times his own body weight, Uchiha Yu walked his way step by step, circling Konoha Village before finally returning home.

He pushed open the courtyard gate, took the last few shaky steps to the front door, glanced at the clock in the living room, and felt a surge of joy.

"At 7:49, it was a full five minutes earlier than yesterday. Not only did we improve, but we improved even faster."

"I never expected that such a stupid training method would have such a great effect."

Miwa Masayo walked with a cat-like gait, circling around Uchiha once, carefully observing his upper body after he took off his clothes, and exclaimed in amazement.

Therefore, due to the high-intensity training, his muscles became engorged with blood and bulged high, making Uchiha Yu appear exceptionally strong.

Completely unlike the miserable state of the first day, although Uchiha Yu's mind felt great, his body showed signs of muscle spasms and foaming at the mouth, which frightened Miwa Masayo into not knowing what to do.

Unlike yesterday, when I collapsed in the hall, my soul blissfully ascending to heaven.

Today, Uchiha Yu felt an even stronger sense of exhilaration, yet he was able to consciously remove his weights and vest, standing up to enjoy the natural energy's restorative effects on his entire body.

On the third day, he was able to finish the weight training standing up. His rapid progress made him decide to try standing meditation and see what kind of effect static exercises would have.

After a quick rinse, Uchiha Yu changed into a loose training outfit.

Under the bewildered gaze of Miwa Masayo, Uchiha Yu attempted to assume a horse stance.

He stood with his feet shoulder-width apart, then slowly squatted down, shifting his weight lower and gradually squatting deeper. Then, following the posture seen in the short video, he continued to separate his feet and raised his hands to shoulder level.

In just three minutes, Uchiha Yu frowned, feeling the same soreness in his thigh muscles as in his previous life, and even experiencing noticeable tremors.

No, there's something wrong here.

He had seen people who knew how to hold a horse stance. Those people were definitely not as strong as he was now, but they could hold the stance for half an hour without their bodies shaking at all.

By the way, they all said that the key to horse stance is to relax and loosen up your muscles and bones...

My thighs are as tight as iron pillars, there's absolutely no way they can relax. What's wrong?

Let me think...

By the way, the horse stance isn't the first step in standing meditation. The first step is something called Hunyuan stance, which I remember is a very relaxed posture. Give it a try.

Hunyuan Zhuang (a type of martial arts exercise) is really simple.

Following his memory, Uchiha Yu stood with his feet slightly apart, shoulder-width apart, adjusted his breathing, and relaxed his body.

With steady breathing and a calm mind, he began to slightly bend his knees, adopting a half-squatting, half-sitting posture, while raising his hands to shoulder width, spreading his fingers, and facing his palms inward.

Relax, relax...

Gradually, Uchiha Yu got the hang of it, and his posture naturally changed.

Rotate your wrists inward with both hands, making an inward-embracing and outward-supporting posture, while your shoulders become more and more relaxed, but there is no feeling of shrug.

Uchiha Yu felt it; he truly felt his feet were rooted to the ground.

Slowly, he adopted a posture of slouching his shoulders and elbows, hunching his chest and straightening his back, as if he were embracing a large bell. Although he was sitting backward, he stood there steadily.

Miwa Masayo was confused yet amused, curiously jumping and hopping around on Uchiha Yuu without waking his owner who had unknowingly fallen into a deep meditation.

Entering a state of natural tranquility is not the same as falling asleep; one's mind remains alert and alert.

If danger is encountered, the meditator can react immediately, but will not be awakened by the touch of a familiar and trusted creature.

After naturally entering a state of tranquility, Uchiha Yu's body relaxed, and his posture gradually adjusted as he relaxed.

The goal of stance training is not to lower the stance, but to focus on cultivating qi and blood. When qi and blood are abundant, they circulate spontaneously, eventually leading to a natural transition to the stage of stretching tendons and bones, which is to naturally become a low stance.

This is supposed to be a basic skill, and normally it would take two to three years for one's physical condition to meet the requirements.

However, Uchiha Yu's physical abilities are extremely strong, completely different from ordinary people, and can even be described as a different species. Therefore, his progress in standing meditation cannot be measured by common sense.

Unbeknownst to her, Uchiha Yuu's posture had switched to a horse stance, with her knees hanging down, naturally adopting a low-stance horse stance.

Two hours later, he felt the presence of his "muscles and bones" and made them twitch. His body shook up and down with the twitching of his muscles and bones, and his thigh muscles were truly relaxed, similar to the at ease posture in military posture.

About fifteen minutes after his muscles and bones began to throb, Uchiha Yu felt his blood and energy returning to him.

It wasn't real qi and blood, but rather an indescribable mental state, yet it felt as if there really was qi filling the body.

He even felt like he was hanging from the Baihui point and falling to the Huiyin point.

That's amazing.
