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

Holding the "Art of Lifting and Releasing" in his hands, Yan Qing did not stop reading but continued to read it.

Special items: "Martial Arts Heavenly Gang Acupoint Striking", "Nine Diagrams and Six Images Visualization Method (incomplete)", "Taoist Internal Alchemy (Small and Large Heavenly Circuit Method incomplete)"...

After thinking for a moment, Yan Qing took out "Wu Tian Gang Acupoint Striking" and "Nine Diagrams and Six Images Visualization Method (Fragment)".

Although this secret room is small, it contains all the martial arts resources that the Yan family has collected from the common people over the decades.

This collection started from Yan Qing's grandfather's generation.

However, the Yan family has never seemed to have much talent in martial arts cultivation. They have only used these martial arts resources to cultivate some martial artists, such as Wanxing and Lanyue.

After Yan Qing demonstrated his amazing martial arts talent, all these martial arts resources were handed over to him.

Previously, Yan Qing only practiced Ming Jin (manifest strength), and he specialized in Bajiquan and Xingyiquan to solidify his foundation.

Now that his internal strength has reached perfection, he can be considered a master in his own right. Therefore, he should also improve in some details.

Holding the three martial arts manuals, Yan Qing walked out of the secret room.

Then he began to peruse the books in his study.

The three techniques, "Lifting Technique," "Martial Arts Heavenly Gang Acupoint Strike," and "Nine Diagrams and Six Images Visualization Method (Fragment)," were not chosen arbitrarily.

The "Lifting and Leaping Technique" is the lightness technique that Yan Qing needs most in actual combat. The last assassination attempt made Yan Qing realize his shortcomings in lightness, which would make him extremely passive when facing a master stronger than himself.

If Yan Qing were to learn the "Lifting and Leaping Technique," he would be able to make things much easier in the same situation, given his current physical condition and abundant strength, whether he chooses to escape or pursue.

In addition, the "Lifting and Leaping Technique" has another advantage: it is a method that specializes in cultivating internal strength in the legs, which perfectly matches Yan Qing's current level of skill.

Specializing in the "Lifting and Leaping Technique" can quickly improve one's proficiency in the "union of Qi and strength" within internal strength.

For the same reason, "Wu Tian Gang Acupoint Striking" is an extremely rare acupoint striking technique.

Unlike ordinary acupuncture, Tiangang acupuncture targets the thirty-six major acupoints of the Tiangang acupoints, which are the thirty-six major fatal acupoints of the human body. It uses a special method to condense the force into needles, and then uses hidden force techniques and explosive force to strike the fatal acupoints, ultimately killing the person.

The reason Yan Qing chose the "Martial Arts Heavenly Gang Acupoint Strike" was because he could only fight back against a martial artist who had reached the Transformation Realm last time.

The obvious and hidden force he injected into the opponent's body were all neutralized by the opponent, and could not cause any effective damage.

If Yan Qing had practiced the "Martial Arts Heavenly Gang Acupoint Strike," he wouldn't be completely lacking in countermeasures, at least not like last time.

Moreover, the special technique for condensing internal strength in "Martial Arts Heavenly Gang Acupoint Strike" is also the most suitable cultivation method for the second stage of internal strength cultivation, namely the unity of Qi and intention.

As for the last one, "Nine Diagrams and Six Images Visualization Method (Fragment)," it is a pure visualization method. Although the method is incomplete, the most core images have been preserved. It is perfect for condensing the mind and spirit and for achieving perfect harmony of mind and intention in the final stage of cultivating internal strength.

Of course, this is also why Yan Qing has not yet found a better method for cultivating his mind through visualization.

Only Yan Qing possesses such profound knowledge, allowing him to choose various cultivation methods for targeted practice at any time.

For ordinary people, obtaining even one martial arts technique is already a stroke of luck, enough to pass down through generations or even to establish a sect. How could they possibly be as free to choose as Yan Qing?

"Let's start by practicing the 'Lifting and Strike Technique'."

After reading through all three manuals, I finally picked up "The Art of Lifting and Releasing" and examined it again.

Generally, the practice of lifting and leaping tends to be an external skill, but that part belongs to the Ming Jin stage and requires a lot of jumping over pits and weight-bearing exercises.

The "Lifting and Leaping Technique" chosen by Yan Qing is an internal martial arts practice. Its cultivation method focuses more on the coordination of breathing and lifting of qi, as well as the combined force exerted by the legs, hips, and spine.

If you have enough strength, you just need to keep practicing.

"Give it a try!"

After reading the entire "Art of Lifting and Releasing," Yan Qing had memorized all of its contents.

But just looking is useless; ultimately, it needs to be put into action.

The practice of "Lifting and Leaping Technique" was not suitable to be carried out in the training room, so Yan Qing went to the courtyard and began his first practice of "Lifting and Leaping Technique".

"Contract your anus and lift your breath," "Tuck your chin in," "Use the Baihui acupoint on the top of your head to guide the movement." Standing still, Yan Qing adjusted his breathing and mind before unleashing his power from his feet.

As the force exploded, Yan Qing took the opportunity to step forward.

"Whoosh~"

With one step, Yan Qing's body suddenly rose higher, and when he landed again, he was already more than three meters away.

"Hmm? Not bad."

After landing, words appeared before Yan Qing's eyes: the progress of the Inner Three Integrations increased by one. When he looked back, the ground where he was standing was still flat.

Previously, Yan Qing's short-distance bursts of power were simply a matter of letting the force surge out from his feet, and then using this recoil force to propel his body forward.

Therefore, each time the explosion occurs, the feet are impacted by a tremendous force.

Yan Qing just used the breathing and force exertion methods from the "Lifting and Stretching Technique".

The effect is obvious. The distance covered by the "Lifting and Leaping Technique" is the same as before, but it requires much less effort, and the movement is subtle and more concealed.

Most importantly, the "Lifting Technique" is only the initial stage. As long as you can master it, there will be considerable room for improvement in the future.

"In the past, the explosive power was amateurish, using pure force to propel the body forward. But the current 'Lifting and Leaping Technique' uses breathing and intention to guide the force internally. This is the benefit of practicing this technique."

Yan Qing simply experienced the process of the energy circulating within his body and then understood the essence of both.

However, there is a core key to all of this.

That is, Yan Qing cultivated Ming Jin to its extreme and then perfected An Jin before starting to cultivate the "Lifting and Leaping Technique". Whether it is the depth of his strength or the strength of his physical bones, it is far beyond that of ordinary people.

This is why he was able to achieve such results on his first practice session.

"But this is just the beginning!"

Having learned from the previous experience, Yan Qing continued to experiment in the courtyard.

The uses of "Lifting and Leaping Techniques" are not limited to traveling or chasing; more importantly, they are used in actual combat.

Therefore, there can be no mistakes; constant practice and experimentation are needed to master the force and distance down to the millimeter.

Otherwise, taking that first step and charging straight into the enemy's blade would be a huge joke.

"Whoosh~ Whoosh~ Whoosh~"

Next, Yan Qing began to move back and forth in the courtyard. He took long strides with each step, and sometimes he would jump onto the wall or climb onto the artificial hill.

Occasionally, Yan Qing makes mistakes, but his exceptional skills allow him to adjust in time.

Before his eyes, words kept appearing, and the progress was soaring.

"Young Master!!! Urgent report from the front: the enemy has deployed multiple artillery pieces and requests permission to abandon the front line and retreat to the second line of defense."

Just as Yan Qing was practicing with great enthusiasm, Wan Xing rushed into the backyard at lightning speed, bringing with her a battle report from the front.
