I meet all the requirements for becoming a god in this world!

"It's alright." Cheng Laiyun patted Qi Dazhuang's broad shoulder.

"As for spirit rice, I can manage to get some."

The young lady said that when she recruited him.

Give yourself a meal of spiritual rice every day.

Judging from the young lady's personality, it shouldn't be inferior spirit rice...

Qi Dazhuang doesn't seem to be very bright, which is a good opportunity to get some more information out of him.

This friend is someone I can be friends with for now.

Ok?

Qi Dazhuang stared blankly at Cheng Laiyun:

"Where did you get this?"

You'll find out then.

…………

The bell rang.

All the martial arts masters gathered in the courtyard.

Standing in the crowd, Cheng Laiyun silently observed the martial arts instructors of Xu's Cloth Shop.

The group of martial arts masters, at a cursory glance, numbered about twenty or thirty.

Everyone was strong and healthy, and even in the dead of winter, they were all wearing only thin clothes, and no one complained of being cold.

Everyone looked at the seemingly frail figure in front of them with respect.

Huodong Canal.

The most surprising one was Qi Dazhuang.

He stood to the left of Huodong Canal, facing the crowd.

He seems to be highly respected by martial arts masters.

Huo Dongqu's expression was indifferent.

Sitting in the armchair that Qi Dazhuang had brought for him, he lightly skimmed the foam from his teacup, not even glancing at the others, and simply said softly:

"Let's begin."

Qi Dazhuang stood at attention with a solemn expression:

"yes!"

He then bowed to Huo Dongqu, turned to look at the crowd, and shouted:

"Start the attack!!"

Swish! !

The crowd dispersed.

Cheng Laiyun looked completely bewildered.

Everyone was scattered in the courtyard, picking up different things to do.

Some people were tossing the stone lock, which weighed over 100 pounds, up and down like a toy.

Someone placed a water tank similar to Qi Dazhuang's on their head, and no matter how hard they punched, the water inside the tank remained completely still.

People were in pairs, hitting each other with wooden mallets, producing dull thuds...

From Cheng Laiyun's perspective, these are the people.

They're all monsters.

"No wonder the young lady had herself train her strength at the Martial Arts Academy."

Cheng Laiyun felt a surge of excitement.

I look forward to the day when I can become one of these humanoid superheroes.

Compared to the others' enthusiastic efforts, Cheng Laiyun stood still, seemingly doing nothing.

Regarding this outlier.

The martial arts masters were not surprised.

Everyone has a first day.

Master Huo's gaze also turned in this direction.

Cheng Laiyun gave him an innocent smile and shrugged.

"Dazhuang, go help the new guy."

Huo Dongqu remained expressionless, took a sip of tea, and flicked his finger in the direction of Cheng Laiyun.

"yes!"

Without hesitation, Qi Dazhuang took three steps in two to get to Cheng Laiyun.

"Here it is." Qi Dazhuang said with a smile on his honest face, rubbing his hands together somewhat embarrassedly.

"Let me help you loosen up your muscles first."

As his voice faded.

The martial arts masters who were training in the courtyard all looked in this direction at the same time.

His face wore an enigmatic smile.

?

Looking at Qi Dazhuang's restrained smile.

Cheng Laiyun had a bad feeling.

No.

What are you shy about?

……

Half an hour later.

Cheng Laiyun finally understood what was going on.

At this moment, following the posture taught by Qi Dazhuang, he half-squatted in place and set up the plum blossom stakes.

Cross your legs with your left foot in front and your right foot behind.

Clench both fists at your waist.

Stand tall with your chest out and head held high, looking straight ahead.

His face was deathly pale.

His thin, bony body twitched involuntarily as he chased the cold wind.

Just now, that damned Qi Dazhuang actually managed to bend his legs, which were so weak he couldn't even do a split, into a perfect vertical split...

It is euphemistically called: opening the tendons.

This is not over yet.

"After the tendons are opened, there may be some injury, but it is not a big problem. In fact, it is the best time to sense the energy of the plum blossom stake."

Sweat dripped from Cheng Laiyun's chin onto the ground, melting the winter frost.

Fortunately, Qi Dazhuang knew he didn't know his own strength.

He stayed by Cheng Laiyun's side, patiently answering Cheng Laiyun's questions.

"These plum blossom stakes are a unique stake-holding method used by our Xu Family Cloth Shop."

"Its function is to help martial artists sense the energy of heaven and earth as quickly as possible."

"The path of martial arts has three stages."

"The first stage is called 'Enlightenment of Breath,' which involves sensing the breath."

"The second stage is called Body Tempering, which involves cultivating one's strength by consuming spiritual rice and generating martial arts energy within the body."

"The third challenge is to use the energy generated within the body to communicate with the energy of heaven and earth that is sensed, and to draw it into the body."

"Once you pass the three tests, you can be called a transcendent being."

Qi Dazhuang answered very patiently.

Cheng Laiyun also gained a clear understanding of martial arts in this world.

"Is sensing aura... difficult?"

Cheng Lai lacked energy and his voice was weak.

The pain radiating from all over his body forced him to listen intently to Qi Dazhuang's words in order to distract himself.

"It's not difficult," Qi Dazhuang grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth.

"I sensed the energy after standing on the plum blossom stakes for three months."

He pointed to the martial arts instructors training in the courtyard:

"Some of them have been waiting for six months, some for a year."

Cheng Laiyun continued to ask:

"What about the second stage, the body-training?"

"I can't say for sure," Qi Dazhuang said, stroking his chin, his honest face showing a slight hesitation.

"The body is a water tank, and the breath is the water."

"The third step, drawing qi into the body, involves pouring water into a water tank."

"To withstand the impact of the energy between heaven and earth, one must forge a body strong enough. If one's body is not strong enough and one forcibly draws energy into it, one will explode and die..."

"Is there any limit?" Cheng Laiyun asked.

"I could lift a thousand pounds," Qi Dazhuang replied casually.

"How long will that take?"

"If you have good talent, maybe half a year."

……

Cheng Laiyun's lips twitched slightly.

The young lady's task for him was to hone his strength; he had to enter the second stage of the extraordinary realm of body tempering.

In other words, he wanted to formally cultivate the extraordinary system of the Mo Sect.

It'll have to wait at least a year?

It's hard to accept.

We have to find a way.

Then Cheng Laiyun suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

He blinked:

"Dazhuang, what was it like when you first sensed that aura?"

"It's just like when you're doing Zhan Zhuang (standing meditation), you just start to sense it..." Qi Dazhuang's answer was somewhat incoherent. As he spoke, Qi Dazhuang seemed to remember something and suddenly slapped his forehead:

"That's right! It's when you don't feel tired while standing in the stance, you can stand for a long time, and then you can quickly sense your breath."

……

"Phew~"

Cheng Laiyun simply closed his eyes.

Quietly feeling the world around me.

Fifteen minutes later.

He opened his eyes weakly.

Besides feeling pain all over my body and my body almost giving out,

I didn't feel anything.

His gaze revealed helplessness.

It seems I'm not very talented.

no way.

Then we have no choice but to... open it.

Thinking of this.

Cheng Laiyun then stopped hesitating.

The [Patriarch's Image Register] has been opened!

If you have a cheat program but don't use it, isn't that a waste?

[Ears that can hear the wind] will start gently immediately.

moment.

Cheng Laiyun once again entered a state of profound mystery, as if he were activating supernatural powers.

The world has changed.

The sound of a heartbeat, the rustling of leaves in the wind.

The sound of sweat dripping onto the ground and cracking...

They came one by one.
