Phew … At the end of his morning exercise, Lou Cheng exhaled a mouthful of foul air and shook his head with a wry smile.
To him, this was something he had expected.
How could one be able to find the right direction and achieve success on the first try?
In fact, ever since Lou Cheng found out that the Jindan in his body came from the lost martial arts sect "Cultivation", he had put in a lot of effort to gather information about it. However, the information he could find on the Internet was too mysterious and hard to believe. For example, in a small Cultivation fan exchange forum, there was a guy named "Thompson" who had developed hysteria due to his practice and almost became a cripple. He only recovered after a long time.
Without a corresponding martial arts reference, Lou Cheng's attempt to grasp the characteristics of Cultivation through the Jindan was like a blind man groping for an elephant. It was difficult for him to gain anything of value. At most, he could deepen his understanding of the concepts of "Frost", "Vairocana" and "Starry Sky". Naturally, there was no way for him to integrate the knowledge of Cultivation and open up his own path.
"Sigh, it's been several months since Master's old friend obtained the Longhu Immortal's legacy. Why hasn't he achieved anything?" Lou Cheng complained in his heart. He packed up his things and prepared to go home for breakfast.
If he still couldn't grasp the characteristics of Cultivation, then he decided to use the simplest, crudest, and most effective method. That was to completely follow the orthodox martial arts path and treat the Jindan as a supernatural energy fountain. Through time and time again, he would completely absorb it and strengthen his own supernatural abilities of frost and flame.
As for the combination of supernatural abilities and martial arts, there were too many references. The predecessor planted the tree, and the successor reaped the shade. It was half the work but twice the effect!
"If there's no other way, then so be it. Jindan, Jindan, who knows what it is …" Lou Cheng's thoughts fluctuated and he sighed slightly.
At this moment, he suddenly had an absurd association based purely on the literal meaning of the word.
"Jindan, Danqi State, they are all" Dan ". Could it be, could it be that there are some similarities?"
As soon as this whimsical idea came into his mind, it was like a flood breaking through a dam. It was endless and couldn't be stopped no matter how hard he tried.
"The specific meaning of the Danqi State is that the strength of the whole body is transparent and smooth, intertwining with the spirit, qi, and blood. It's like a Dan. Every punch and kick can mobilize the strength of the whole body to the greatest extent and can be controlled with extreme precision. There's Absolute Reaction, so it's called the Human Body Big Dan. The most powerful of all is Force Concentration, which condenses the strength, qi, blood, and spirit into a point and unleash … Master's description, it's round and bright …"
"Jindan, I still don't know what it is, but from my senses and observations over the past few months, I've discovered that it perfectly matches the description of 'round and bright'. It balances itself and forms a universe of its own. It's like a supernatural ability, uh, a material product formed by the condensation of Physical Invulnerability Aura Shield, intent, and spirit. It has the duality of matter and spirit …
"Can I imitate the Jindan or use it as a fulcrum to complete my Force Concentration?"
"With the experience of Force Concentration, I can find and condense my own martial arts will and rely on it to repeat the process. Can I become a real Dan State?"
Lou Cheng thought aimlessly. Gradually, he had a general direction and was filled with the passion to try again.
This time, his train of thought didn't involve the characteristics of cultivation. It was purely imitating the operating rules of Jindan.
Well, I'll try again tomorrow morning. Failure is the mother of success!
…
With his longing resolved and his feelings nourished, Lou Cheng also had a direction to improve his martial arts. When he stood in front of Zhang Qiufan, Yao Ruiwei, and the other students again, he was really glowing. He was in a good mood from inside out.
Wu Ting smiled and asked, "Coach Lou, did something good happen to you yesterday?"
"Yeah." Lou Cheng answered with a smile.
"Then will you go easy on me today? I'm so tired after the last training. My whole body is sore. "Wu Ting seized the opportunity.
"Yeah, my legs were shaking when I walked yesterday." Yao Ruiwei, the little fatty, quickly agreed.
Lou Cheng maintained his smile and answered,
"That's why you don't train often. You'll get used to it after more training. Don't worry, I'll be worth every penny you pay."
"Ah …" Wu Ting, Zhang Qiufan, and the others all let out disappointed sounds. Then, under Lou Cheng's guidance, they began to calm down.
When it came to the formal training, Lou Cheng realized how difficult it was to teach the half-grown kids. After a little more than a day, eight out of ten of the basic stances they had learned were not up to standard. They had to be explained and corrected again. The only two who were still okay were Li Lei and Wu Ting, who could barely remember the content of the previous lesson.
Fortunately, Lou Cheng knew that they only wanted to strengthen their bodies. As long as they could maintain the amount of training, they would pass. He didn't have high expectations, so his mood wasn't affected.
After correcting them one by one, he stood at the side with his hands behind his back. He concentrated on tightening and compressing his muscles, creating a moderate amount of vibration. Together with the erosion of the medicine, he polished his muscles and fascia.
Suddenly, he heard hurried footsteps and a commotion at the door.
Turning his head, he saw Qin Rui's excited and uneasy face.
"What's wrong?" Lou Cheng asked, puzzled.
Qin Rui lowered his voice and said, "The selection for the preliminaries is about to be finalized. Today, Chairman Wei will bring the person who has already been selected to visit the martial arts school. Whether or not I'll be selected to participate in the special training will depend on later!"
The selection of the team must be approved by the chief.
"Ha, who's the person? You'll be fine if you perform well, "Lou Cheng asked curiously.
Qin Rui answered in distress, "A Professional Ninth Pin fighter named Li Tianming. He's a disciple of a family sect in our city. He's very talented and got a Ninth Pin certificate at the age of twenty. He went to Gao Fen to develop. Sigh, their sect has a good relationship with Mingwei. In our martial arts school, other than Senior Dai, it's hard to say who will be selected …"
"Isn't there still Chairman Wei? He won't make it too obvious." Lou Cheng comforted him. "If you make a breakthrough in your still stance this month and perform well in the Youth Tournament, Chairman Wei won't see it."
"Yes! At the end of the day, strength is the most important! "Qin Rui nodded vigorously.
At this moment, the noise approached. Wei Renjie, with his hair slicked back, walked over with Chu Weicai, Dai Linfeng, and the others. Beside him was a young martial artist in his twenties. His face was thin, his eyes were small and sharp, and his qi and blood were so vigorous that they almost materialized. He looked a little complacent.
Wei Renjie glanced at the VIP class in front of him and smiled. "Tingting, are you practicing martial arts here?"
Wu Ting stopped what she was doing and smiled obediently. "Uncle Wei, my dad likes to be busy. He's worried that I'll learn bad things during the holidays, so he sent me here."
Lou Cheng was stunned. He didn't expect Wu Ting's family to have a good relationship with Wei Renjie.
But then again, according to Qin Rui, the VIP class wasn't a place that could be registered with money.
"It's good to practice martial arts. It strengthens your body. How is it? How do you feel? "Wei Renjie asked kindly.
Wu Ting nodded quickly. "Pretty good. Our coach is awesome!"
"Your coach?" Wei Renjie turned his head and looked at Lou Cheng. After a moment of shock, he recalled the past and smiled. "You're Lou Cheng, right?"
"Yes. Chairman, you still remember me?" Lou Cheng replied with a smile.
At this moment, Li Tianming's eyes also looked over.
Eh … His pupils suddenly shrank. He didn't expect to see a young martial artist with vigorous qi and blood in the Gushan Martial Arts School.
Ordinary people like Wei Renjie wouldn't think much of it. At most, they would think that Lou Cheng looked very energetic and tough. But in the eyes of martial artists with similar experiences, it was obvious what it meant.
At this stage of the Body Refining State, the strength of martial artists was like a firefly in the night. It was so bright and so flamboyant that it couldn't be hidden.
What does this mean? Li Tianming looked at Chu Weicai in surprise. He saw that this old man with deep wrinkles was also looking at him. His smile was amiable and his eyes were meaningful.
"How can I not remember? My idea for special training came from your opinion. "Wei Renjie laughed." Is it summer vacation? Why are you here as a coach? "
"Part-time job." Lou Cheng answered honestly.
"Good, good. It's good to be self-sufficient." Wei Renjie didn't say much. He walked around the VIP class area and walked towards the stairs surrounded by people.
When the area was almost out of sight, Li Tianming couldn't help but look back at Lou Cheng.
How could he not be cautious when he found a martial artist at the peak of the Body Refining State in a martial arts school that he didn't have a good relationship with?
But Lou Cheng didn't care at all. He didn't even think about competing for the preliminaries.
"It's a pity that Chairman Wei isn't a martial artist. He can't see how strong you are …" Qin Rui sighed regretfully. He strode forward and caught up with the group.
…
After the tour, the few people with the highest status sat down in the office on the third floor.
Li Tianming glanced at the "Summer Martial Arts Class Registration List" on the table. He pretended to pick it up casually and flipped through it.
"VIP Class Three, Coach Lou Cheng, Professional Ninth Pin …"
Lou Cheng … Chairman Wei called him Lou Cheng just now … Li Tianming put down the list and took out his phone while listening to Wei Renjie's long speech.
A Professional Ninth Pin martial artist could more or less find the competition videos online.
Chu Weicai glanced at his actions and smiled faintly.
"Lou Cheng, Professional Ninth Pin …" After typing these words, Li Tianming put his phone on silent mode and browsed through the information. He randomly clicked on a video.
At the beginning, his expression was still normal. But as he watched, his expression changed and his body couldn't help but tremble.
Wei Renjie ended his speech and looked at Li Tianming with a smile. "Tianming, what do you think after watching the young talents of Xiushan? Do you have the confidence to take on the challenge of the preliminaries? "
He was inviting Li Tianming.
Li Tianming suddenly woke up and looked at Chu Weicai subconsciously. He saw the smile on Chu Weicai's face.
Li Tianming took a deep breath and answered stiffly,
"Chairman, I don't have the confidence …"
"Huh?" Wei Renjie was stunned.
What kind of answer is this?
I was just asking out of habit.
Li Tianming forced a smile and said, "I've thought about it seriously. I'm still too weak to win glory for Xiushan. Chairman, I'm sorry to let you down."
If I agreed to be the leader, Gushan Martial Arts School would definitely find an excuse to challenge me …
And I really don't have the confidence to face that guy just now …
Wei Renjie was still calm. He maintained his composure and asked seriously, "Are you sure?"
"Yes." Li Tianming answered with a red face.
After the exchange, he left Gushan Martial Arts School as if he had escaped from a tiger's den.
…
Looking at Li Tianming's panicked back, Lou Cheng pulled Qin Rui and asked thoughtfully, "Chairman Wei, why did you decide to visit today?"
"My master invited me." Qin Rui didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
Lou Cheng laughed and shook his head. He didn't say anything else.
…
"Master, this trick is really useful!" After watching Wei Renjie leave, Dai Linfeng saw that there was no one around and said excitedly, "In the future, if we meet any ignorant Professional Ninth Pin who wants to be the leader, we can invite them to visit. Lou Cheng doesn't want to do that, but others don't know!"
Chu Weicai sighed and said, "This method can only be used once. Do you think Lou Cheng is stupid? Can't he see through it? We can use his prestige a little and think about our relationship with him. He will turn a blind eye and let it go with a smile. If we do it again and again, what does he think he is? "
Dai Linfeng nodded and said sincerely, "Master, I understand. Yes, we have to seize the opportunity and try to get the Professional Ninth Pin who is close to us."
Sigh, only an experienced person like Master can accurately grasp the limits of the previous method.
