"Come on, he's awake! Little Shiba's awake!"
Little Shiba's consciousness had just returned to reality and he was still in a daze when Wang Tianlei's unique loud voice rang in his ears. Then, there was the sound of the door being pushed open. Little Shiba's mother rushed in crying and hugged Little Shiba.
"You damned little bastard, you scared your mother to death — wuuu —!"
She was helpless, depressed, and unlucky.
When they woke up in the morning and found that Little Shiba was missing, the Zhou's family was in a mess again. They searched everywhere and finally found Little Shiba, who had fainted on the ground in the bushes behind the wall. They hurriedly took him home and found the doctor, who was about to pack up and leave. After a flurry, they finally settled down, but Little Shiba's mother fainted because she was too worried about him and was too frightened.
As soon as he was carried out, Wang Tianlei's voice came from the room, saying that Little Shiba had woken up. Little Shiba woke up from his coma with a start and rushed into the room. That was what happened just now.
The touching scene did not last long.
Seeing that Little Shiba had woken up and was fine, everyone was relieved. But once they were relieved, Little Shiba would be in trouble.
"The so-called 'settling accounts after autumn' is referring to now, right?!"
Lying helplessly on a pile of dry firewood, Little Shiba put his hands behind his head and looked up at the messy cobwebs floating in the wind, covered with black ash. Listening to the sound of his intestines fighting with his stomach, Little Shiba smiled bitterly.
Just one day after he woke up, he was locked in the woodshed by Old Zhou, who was his father in this life, and was not allowed to eat for three days.
Old Zhou was an authentic mountain man who was born and raised in the mountains. He was good at hunting in the mountains, but he was not good at teaching children.
He believed in a maxim from Little Shiba's previous life, "A filial son is born under the rod." His way of education was rough and direct. However, Little Shiba had been obedient since he was a child, so he had never been locked in the woodshed like this. Generally speaking, it was Boxer who was locked in the woodshed.
But that was then and this was now. This time, Little Shiba was really screwed. Old Zhou could no longer tolerate him running around and falling into a coma as soon as he woke up. He sent him to the woodshed and starved him for three days in the same way he had dealt with Big Dog, Buttface, and Triple Dog.
In the days that followed, Old Zhou was very satisfied with what he had done. After being locked up for three days, the obedient Little Shiba was back, and he didn't have to worry about him anymore.
Time flies, the years fly by.
Unknowingly, four years had passed, and Little Shiba was now eight years old.
For most people, the period between the ages of four and eight was a period of muddle-headedness. At the same time, it was also the period of pureness. However, for the four dogs, these four years were enough. Enough to the point where they wanted to shout 'Long live'.
With the joint efforts of Wang Tianlei and the blind old man, the young people in the village had learned enough to read and write during these four years. Perhaps their level of education was not high, but at least they could write. When they wrote letters to their distant relatives, they no longer needed to hire someone to write for them. Of course, some typos were inevitable.
This was a great achievement.
Little Shiba was not interested in this achievement. The only thing he cared about was that he no longer had to deliberately hide the fact that he could read in front of others. Basically, all the children of his age in the village could read a few words. There were even one or two "child prodigies" who could recite large sections of ancient poems and sages' writings. Their parents were even eager to send them to participate in the imperial examination.
Little Shiba was not a child prodigy, and he was not interested in the cultural system that resembled the ancient world view of China. He only needed others to know that he could read.
The practice of the Ignis Skill was very smooth. After his eyes changed and he got the practice method of the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword, the most difficult part of the Ignis Skill was to absorb the energy of fire property from the essence of the world. Through a special mental cultivation method of Internal Strength, the energy of fire property could be transformed into the same fire property Internal Qi and stored in the body.
This was the most basic principle of most of the Internal Strength in the world. Of course, it was not easy to achieve this. Between heaven and earth, there was more than one kind of pneuma of fire property, but countless kinds. Not to mention others, just the sun above his head emitted more than a hundred kinds of pneuma of fire property, the most famous of which was the Genuine Fire of the Sun. Even a little bit of this kind of fire was enough to melt steel. Therefore, except for some legendary figures, few people played with the Genuine Fire of the Sun. Of course, the Ignis Skill was only the most basic mental cultivation method of fire, which belonged to the introductory level of Internal Strength. Little Shiba did not know this, and with his current sensitivity to the essence of the world, he could not feel so much.
Now, he had completely transformed the Unusual Strength Qigong practiced by his original body into the Ignis Internal Qi and integrated it into the punching skill of Thousand Kills. When he performed the punching skill, in addition to the power of the punching skill itself, it would also produce a kind of hot fist wind, which was several times more destructive than the ordinary punching skill of Thousand Kills.
At the same time, he also found that when his Internal Qi was slowly transformed from Unusual Strength Qigong into the Ignis Internal Qi, it seemed to have some miraculous effect on solidifying the tendons, bones, and meridians in his body. That was to say, what Wang Tianlei once said to him was accurate. Reasonable internal strength was very helpful to improve the strength of his body. Internal Strength and External Strength were a process of interaction.
In a sense, Little Shiba's punching skill and Internal Strength had reached the Basic level. Even within the next three years, his improvement would not be very big. If he wanted to improve it by force, it might even destroy his body. It could be said that his Internal Strength and Internal Strength had reached the limit of his age.
He was only eight years old, a little kid. His body had not fully grown and he had not even reached puberty. Whether it was his bones or Qi and blood, they were all at their weakest. If he forced himself to improve at this time, even if he succeeded, his future achievements would be limited. Moreover, Little Shiba was very suspicious that if he forced himself to improve his strength in such a condition, he would keep the appearance of an eight-year-old for the rest of his life, which was really shameful.
Therefore, three months ago, he put all his energy into the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword.
The Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword was a strange martial arts skill. In Li Haoran's memory, he did not know that this kind of martial arts skill was called a special technique.
As mentioned before, ordinary martial arts skills absorbed the essence of the world from the outside into the body, and then transformed it into one's own Internal Qi through the mental cultivation method of Internal Strength. Then, the transformed Internal Qi would nourish the tendons, meridians, Qi, and blood. The operation of Internal Qi could be controlled and controlled at will. This was the so-called "from the inside to the outside".
The Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword was a unique martial arts skill that Little Shiba had never imagined. He even thought that it was a martial arts system that was completely independent of his cognition. Of course, this also reflected that his understanding of martial arts was not extensive and only stayed at the level of martial arts novels and comics.
Directly collecting Evil Qi, using a secret method similar to the mental cultivation method of Internal Strength, smelting the absorbed Evil Qi and condensing it into unparalleled Sword Qi, storing it in the body.
It sounded no different from the breathing method of Internal Qi, but in essence, there was a big difference.
There were numerous kinds of essence of heaven and earth absorbed by people who practiced internal strength and had various properties. These kinds of essence were divided into two categories, one was Spiritual Qi, and the other was Evil Qi. Very few could be absorbed and transformed into internal strength by human beings. The essence that could be easily absorbed and transformed was called Spiritual Qi. The property of Spiritual Qi was generally very mild. Even if one absorbed and transformed the pneuma of fire property like the Ignis Skill, the property of this pneuma was also mild and could be absorbed by human beings. It was like drinking water, no matter whether it was cold water or warm water. Evil Qi was the essence of heaven and earth that could not be absorbed and transformed into internal strength by human beings. It was like boiling water. Not to mention drinking it, even touching it would cause burns.
The attribute of this Evil Qi was violent, but at the same time, its power was not comparable to that of the mild essence of the world. For example, the Ignis Skill that Little Shiba was practicing now could only absorb and transform the ordinary pneuma of fire attribute. The power of this pneuma was much weaker than that of the Genuine Fire of the Sun.
Therefore, in order to make use of this violent essence of the world, the special technique was born.
The special technique was a secret method created by the martial practitioners in antiquity times by combining various ways of using Internal Qi and martial arts techniques with the various characteristics of the Evil Qi. It could transform the violent Evil Qi that could not be safely absorbed into a fixed form and store it in the tendons and meridians of the body.
Because the Evil Qi transformed by the special technique was extremely violent, it was almost impossible to store it in the body like Internal Qi and turn it into one's own use. However, the special technique could solve this problem and make it exist in the body in a fixed form. Take the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword for example. The Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword used a secret method to condense the Evil Qi into an unparalleled Sword Qi. After being condensed into Sword Qi, the violent attribute of the Evil Qi would be completely smoothed out and transformed into the killing power of the Sword Qi. However, not every kind of Evil Qi could be used to refine the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword. Every special technique had extremely high requirements for the Evil Qi. For example, the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword needed to smelt two kinds of Evil Qi with completely opposite natures at the same time. One was extreme Yang, and the other was extreme Yang. Even if it was refined by a secret method, it could not be stored in the body like the real Internal Qi and could not be used freely. It could only be fixed in a specific form and stored in the tendons and meridians. Most importantly, the tendons and meridians that contained the Sword Qi had a stronger endurance than ordinary tendons and meridians.
Little Shiba was only eight years old, and his muscles, bones, and tendons and meridians had not grown up yet. Therefore, even if he could find two kinds of Evil Qi with completely opposite natures, it was impossible for him to store them in his body. His tendons and meridians could not bear it at all.
"What a pity! I thought I had obtained a life-saving asset!"
Thinking of this, Little Shiba also felt a little funny. An eight-year-old child who grew up in a remote mountain village had the same idea as the people in Jianghu outside, who wanted to have a life-saving asset at any time. He did not know what kind of mentality this was. Perhaps it was because he had read too many martial arts novels before?
Of course, during these four years, he had not only figured out the essence of the Ignis Heart Sutra and the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword. For Little Shiba, during these four years, the most practical thing was the complete interpretation of the Ignis Skill, and the most interesting thing was the practice of the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword. The most rewarding thing was his pair of strange eyes.
After four years of practice, he could already maintain his eyes in that strange state for about half an hour. After that state was lifted, he would not be extremely weak, at least it would not be a problem for him to escape. Of course, maintaining that state was still a great burden on his body. However, after maintaining that state, there would be a qualitative leap in his reflexes, insight, control of his body and Internal Qi, as well as speed and strength. His strength would increase by at least five or six times. The only pity was that it was not the Sharingan, so it could not copy other people's martial arts skills.
He had always been envious of Wu Qinglong's family's archery techniques. After all, he hadn't learned it yet. Although he had carefully observed every detail of Wu Qinglong's archery, which allowed him to benefit a lot and greatly improve his archery techniques, he still hadn't truly mastered the Wu Clan's archery techniques.
"I've been practicing Taiji Fist for seven years and I've probably figured out some of its mysteries. Hehe, when I was practicing Unusual Strength Qigong, it could strengthen Unusual Strength Qigong. Now I've completely transformed Unusual Strength Qigong into Ignis Internal Qi. I didn't expect that it could still be strengthened. Not only that, Taiji Fist is also strengthening my body more and more. It's totally a super fist skill that can be upgraded. It's so strange. Why didn't I feel this way in my previous life?"
After a round of Taiji Fist, Little Shiba was sweating all over. He only felt that his whole body was bathed by the heat of Internal Qi, which was indescribably comfortable.
"Recently, the old man has been a little uneasy. It seems to be about me going out to be an apprentice. Hehe, it's good to go out, it's much better than staying in this poor and remote place. Although I don't want to make a meteoric rise in the future, at least I want to have a good look at this strange world. Staying here, I'm afraid there won't be too many opportunities, right?"
This was Little Shiba's true thoughts and portrayal. Although the mountain village was quiet and peaceful, and had been made into a very suitable place for retirement by Wang Tianlei, Little Shiba was only eight years old and did not want to retire so early. Therefore, he was still looking forward to going to Qingyang Market to be an apprentice. Of course, he still did not know what kind of way out his second uncle had arranged for him.

Finally, the setting of the special technique was perfected. Of course, what was expressed in this chapter was not complete. The special technique was a huge system and had a lot of room for development. This would be slowly presented to everyone in the following content. Click, Recommend, Collect
