Martial arts mastery? But I'm just a spoiled brat!

Sweating profusely and steam rising from his body, Yan Qing's attention was entirely focused on the words that kept appearing before his eyes.

Talent: Martial Arts Prodigy!

"Martial Arts to Divine Status: All those who cultivate martial arts will gain something, and once proven, it is eternal!"

Xingyiquan: Strength Training 100/100

Bajiquan: Ming Jin 500/500

"External Three Harmonies: Shoulder and hip align 500/500"

"External Three Harmonies: Elbow and Knee Alignment 500/500"

『External Three Harmonies: Hands and Feet in Harmony 431/500』

Baguazhang: Hidden Strength 2500/2500

『Inner Three Harmonies: Strength and Qi Combined 1324/2500』

『Inner Three Harmonies: Qi and Intention in Harmony 873/2500』

『Inner Three Harmonies: Mind and Heart in Harmony 321/2500』

"Finally, the hidden strength has been perfected, and we are beginning to enter the hidden strength stage: the integration of strength and energy."

After practicing his internal strength diligently for so long, Yan Qing finally achieved perfection, and a smile appeared on his face.

The completion of internal strength signifies that his cultivation has entered the next stage, and he will no longer need to continue honing his internal strength as before.

Most importantly, with perfected internal strength, he can have more time and energy to make up for his deficiencies, such as... lightness techniques.

Ordinary people often encounter various bottlenecks in their cultivation, such as bottlenecks in comprehending techniques, deviations in cultivation methods, slower speed of strength cultivation, and physical fatigue requiring rest. These minor problems can always appear unexpectedly, slowing down the progress of cultivation.

Take the cultivation of internal strength as an example. From the initial practice to the mastery, the entire process will last for several years.

During this process, they often use their spare time to practice other auxiliary methods that are more conducive to improving their strength.

These methods might be movement techniques, lightness skills, or weapon training.

But Yan Qing was different; his cultivation speed was incredibly fast, and he encountered no bottlenecks whatsoever.

Such a cultivation speed was already evident at the Ming Jin stage.

It usually takes three months for an ordinary person to train their strength, but at that time Yan Qing's body was far weaker than that of an ordinary person, so it only took him two months to train his strength and build his foundation.

This includes a month to replenish the body.

It was precisely because of this physical replenishment that Yan Qing was able to reach the peak of Ming Jin in less than a month.

However, at that time he was waiting to cultivate his hidden strength through the true transmission of Baguazhang, so after he perfected his Mingjin, he mainly used Bajiquan fighting style and then focused on the core Xingyiquan true meaning.

And now, Yan Qing's entire transformation of internal energy has only taken less than a month.

This kind of cultivation speed, where progress is guaranteed as long as one practices, makes him completely uninterested in cultivating anything else. This is a cultivation speed unique to Yan Qing.

Now that his internal strength has reached perfection, he can finally have the energy to cultivate other things.

The hidden strength: the stage of combining strength and energy does not start from the beginning. After all, the entire practice of Baguazhang is about tempering essence, energy and spirit.

He can achieve the same effect when practicing other internal energy techniques.

Hidden strength: This stage of combining strength and energy can be summarized in the simplest terms as training strength to reach every part of the body. Wherever the strength goes, the strength must follow.

Currently, Yan Qing has completed half of this stage, and this half should be the progress resulting from the complete opening of both hands and a small portion of the opening of both legs.

Currently, Yan Qing needs to continue to strengthen the connection between his legs and spine in terms of power. As long as he practices in this area, he can quickly pass through the stage of internal strength: the combination of power and energy.

"Reaching for the moon..."

Yan Qing figured out what he was lacking and had a plan for the next stage. He was about to call out to Lan Yue to have her help him wash up and give him a massage.

However, as soon as he spoke, he realized that the two women had been busy taking care of him these past few days and hadn't had much time to come and look after his daily life.

At most, they would come over to massage him at night, when he was asleep, and would also summarize the day's information or affairs.

"Forget it... I'll just do it myself!"

Having grown accustomed to being served by the two women, Yan Qing found it difficult to accept being served by others. He picked up a towel from the side, wiped the sweat off his body, replenished his water, and then began to walk out of the cultivation room.

After leaving the cultivation room, Yan Qing went to his study, which he rarely entered, and pushed hard on the bookshelf behind the desk.

The bookshelf, which had been tightly sealed, was pushed open inwards, revealing an invisible doorway.

The portal appeared, and Yan Qing stepped inside.

This is a secret room. The room is not big, only about ten square meters. Various boxes are piled up in the center of the room. As you pass by, you can faintly smell the medicinal fragrance emanating from some of the boxes.

However, after entering the secret room, Yan Qing didn't even look at the boxes, but went straight to the wall to the side.

The walls of the secret room are made of three bookshelves, crafted from the finest sandalwood, and covered with state-of-the-art transparent glass to prevent dust from entering.

Yan Qing looked over and saw various secret manuals neatly arranged inside the bookshelf.

Fist and foot techniques: Tai Chi, Xingyi Quan, Bajiquan, Baguazhang, Plum Blossom Mantis Hand, Eagle Claw Kung Fu, Springing Leg...

Yan Qing glanced at them briefly and skipped over them. Most of these boxing techniques were the signature skills of various martial arts schools, but most of the ones displayed here were not the true teachings, and even the true teachings were mostly niche boxing and foot techniques.

Niche martial arts techniques are not weak; in fact, they can be extremely powerful in certain aspects.

For example, Wanxing practices the Plum Blossom Mantis Hand technique, which is a deadly move.

However, this type of skill is specialized and easily countered, and it has an upper limit.

Weapons: "Arm Manual", "Sword Manual", "Intercepting Knife Technique", "Four-Route Miao Knife"...

Weapons… Yan Qing paused for a moment, then took out the “Arm Record” and began to look through it.

What's interesting is that "The Arm Manual" is actually a guide to spear techniques, but it's named "The Arm Manual" because spear techniques are an extension of the arm.

The Sword Manual is actually a staff technique...

After looking through it for a while, Yan Qing put it back.

Xingyiquan has a saying that one can transform a spear into a fist, so he doesn't need to practice weapons too much. In the future, he will only need to adapt a little to be able to directly use spear techniques.

Body Techniques: "Ascending to Great Heights and Reaching Far (Incomplete)", "Leaping and Leaping Techniques", "Plum Blossom Stake Kung Fu"

Looking at the bookshelf displaying manuals on movement techniques, Yan Qing thought for a moment and finally took out the "Lifting and Leaping Technique".

Lightness-body techniques are already rare, and most are still body-based techniques. Techniques that use strength to increase speed are even rarer.

Moreover, Yan Qing currently possesses the Bagua Palm technique, so he doesn't need additional training in evasive maneuvers, but his weakness lies in accelerating over medium and long distances.

So after seeing the "Art of Lifting and Releasing", Yan Qing took it into his hands.

Unfortunately, the book "The Method of Climbing High and Reaching Far" was only a fragment, with just two pages, and was not suitable for Yan Qing at the moment.

You can take a look at it after you have finished practicing the "Lifting and Leaping Technique".
