Msasi Martial Arts Arena.
As the students participating in the advanced course had decent combat skills, they could easily catch up without any preparation. Therefore, Lou Cheng was assigned to one of the groups by Brook without much trouble and was assigned to an exclusive training ground. There was a total of nine people in the group.
There were a total of nine people in this group, including him. Most of them were young men with strong physiques and natural advantages. Only three of them did not belong to this group. One of them was the red-eyed girl, Othaway, who was more than 1.8 meters tall. From the way the other students were fearful of her, it could be seen that she was not weak and could be considered as a big sister figure. The other one was the middle-aged man with grey hair and sagging cheeks, Cole. Under normal circumstances, at his age, he should have chosen the fitness class. However, he trained crazily more than anyone else. His eyes were filled with ferocity, and every punch and kick seemed to be filled with all his strength.
As for the third one, it was of course Lou Cheng himself. His muscles were moderate and his strength was hidden. Therefore, he could not fully support his combat suit. Compared to the other students, he was shorter and skinnier. However, the other students did not discriminate or provoke him. Since he could join the advanced course, he must have a good foundation.
Their speculations were quickly confirmed by Coach Lin Delo's introduction. This was an Asian kid who had practiced Chinese martial arts!
After observing for a while, Lou Cheng gained an intuitive understanding of the fighting techniques of the Geruga Sect. They used boxing as their core, mixed with Jujitsu and wrestling, and were very good at using the body and restricting the joints. However, this was all part of the basic content, and was not shown at all when it came to the integration of the body's spirituality and the ability to communicate with all living things.
With Lou Cheng's current insight, knowledge, and foundation, he joined the training after twenty minutes and got the hang of it quickly. It was as though he had been immersed in it for at least five years. Othaway and the other students were amazed and speechless. Only the middle-aged man, Cole, was not interested in anything else. He treated the void in front of him as his mortal enemy and kept on punching and kicking, making cracking sounds.
Not bad. He is already at the level of a Professional Ninth Pin. Why hasn't he become a combat apprentice … Lou Cheng glanced at him from the corner of his eyes.
After more than an hour, Coach Lin Delo announced that the combat training had come to an end. Everyone entered the room at the side and began to awaken their spirituality. This was also the reason why the advanced course was worth five thousand dollars and why there were so many applicants.
After entering the room, Othaway picked up the corresponding towel and wiped the sweat off her forehead. She glanced at the shy and introverted Asian boy Lou Cheng. He was calm and composed with barely any sweat on his forehead. It seemed like he was just warming up.
How magical … She looked at the other students and started whispering to them, attributing everything to the mysterious Chinese martial arts.
"Actually, I was really just warming up …" Lou Cheng could vaguely sense what they were thinking and said to himself in amusement.
At this time, Coach Lin Delo closed the door, stood in the center, and said to the nine students sitting around him,
He looked at the nine students in front of him and said to them, "The strength of the body is the key to strengthening the 'Own Spirit'. However, it is also the cage that restricts us from awakening the 'Own Spirit'. Therefore, we need to strengthen our body through hard training and let it fall into a state of fatigue to reduce the interference. Your current state is very suitable for the 'Awakening' training."
He had said similar words many times in the past. However, as there was a new student joining them today, he had to say it again.
Her body was tired but her spirit was still excited. Othaway followed the breathing rhythm that Lin Delo taught her and slowly adjusted her breathing. She gradually felt a strange sense of calmness in her heart.
At that moment, Lin Delo pressed the remote control and let the surrounding sound system play a sacred and melodious melody. He was guiding the students to become more relaxed.
When she was extremely relaxed, Othaway felt like her spirit was floating. She seemed to have seen the spirituality that belonged to her. However, she was still unable to awaken it and communicate with it.
"Isn't this meditating? However, there is a subtle difference. It seems to have some application of self-hypnosis mixed in … "Lou Cheng experienced the attempt to awaken the 'Own Spirit' with great interest. His consciousness was" above "and looked down at his body. He grasped every change in it without missing anything. He was like a god that ruled over this body.
Yes, this is not called 'Own Spirit'. It should be called 'Own Spirit'. Encountering God in the Void, God is oneself!
Half an hour later, Lin De Luo stopped playing the ethereal music and said to the few disappointed students, "Let's go.
"Don't try anymore. Otherwise, you will lose yourself."
After saying that, he took out a dark red box that seemed to be used to store jewelry. Yes, it was really a box used to store jewelry. After opening it, there was a blue gem lying inside.
"This is a sapphire that my teacher, Mr. Joseph, the Grandmaster of Martial Arts, made. He used the 'Own Spirit' as the main source of the polishing and gave it a certain level of spirituality. Try to communicate with it and tell me what you feel. This is the practice of communicating with the spirituality of all things. It can help you awaken the 'Own Spirit'," said Lin Delo seriously.
He was a black-haired Caucasian man who was less than thirty years old. He was obviously of Latin descent. The lines on his face looked like they were carved by knives and axes.
According to the order, the middle-aged man, Cole, was the first to receive the gem. He communicated with it quietly for a while before opening his eyes and revealing his grayish-white pupils.
"I feel a patch of blue."
Lin Delo nodded slightly and didn't comment. He let Cole pass the message clockwise.
"I feel like I'm touching water."
"I almost couldn't breathe just now."
"Waves, waves, I see waves!"
…
After a few people, the object of spirituality was in the hands of the extremely curious Lou Cheng. He imitated the other students and placed the gem in his palm. He placed it horizontally on his left chest and closed his eyes.
Focusing his thoughts, he reflected in the Ice Mirror. His mind slowly descended and came into contact with the gem. It seemed to surround and envelop it.
Ripples appeared in his Heart Lake. Within the Ice Mirror, a crashing sound could be heard. It was a surging sea that filled the surroundings. It was deep blue, layered, and dimly glowing.
Essence … Charm … These two words popped up in Lou Cheng's mind. He felt that this sapphire was very similar to the paper on which he had written the Fighting Formula. However, there were subtle differences.
There are three thousand paths, but they all lead to the same destination … He suddenly remembered a saying in a Cultivation classic. His mind and consciousness immersed in the gem, wanting to explore more.
With a crashing sound, the waves of the blue sea surged and churned to the bottom. There was a layer of blood-like water.
Thick, sticky, stinky, cruel, evil, and many other sensations appeared in Lou Cheng's Ice Mirror, creating exaggerated ripples and hideous cracks.
Lou Cheng responded in his mind. He visualized the Ice Spirit Holy Light and moved a little forward.
The "blood flow" immediately retreated and the Ice Mirror regained its stability. The blue sea once again covered everything, except for the coldness. It seemed to have two poles.
What's going on? When the Grandmaster of Martial Arts Joseph was polishing the gem, he couldn't control his emotions and allowed the negative things to taint his spirituality? Moreover, this evil feeling was buried very deep. It would be difficult to detect or trigger the changes if one wasn't of a similar level. Experts of a similar level wouldn't have the time to study the spiritual item that Joseph was polishing for his disciple …
Lou Cheng was still in a state where he didn't know much about the awakening and polishing of the Geruga Sect. It was hard for him to figure out the real reason. He opened his eyes and briefly explained his feelings.
"The sea."
Lin Deluo's eyes were filled with surprise. After a while, he nodded and said, "That's right."
This Asian kid's spirituality is very strong!
Seeing that no one noticed anything unusual, Lou Cheng secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He passed the sapphire to Othaway who was beside him.
Othaway got into position and communicated with him silently for a while. She opened her eyes happily and replied,
"Coach, I see an iceberg!"
… While Lou Cheng was speechless, Lin Deluo shook his head with a sour expression.
"Othaway, you've regressed."
Othaway's smile instantly collapsed. The two following students, one saying "cold" and the other saying "deep water", witnessed the remnants of Lou Cheng's influence gradually fading away without them realizing it.
After the practice of Own Spirit came to an end, Lou Cheng and the rest started their combat training again. This allowed him to re-understand the "foundation" of his martial arts from different perspectives and concepts. From there, he could find problems that he couldn't detect in the past.
Stones from other mountains can be used to attack jade!
At 11: 30 pm, Lin Deluo announced the end of the class for the day. If anyone wanted to come in the afternoon, they could do an hour of free practice.
Lou Cheng didn't have the time to care about the other students. He took a shower, changed his clothes, and returned to Connecticut University to have lunch with Yan Zheke. With his company, Du Yan had the time to do something of her own.
After noon, Du Yan returned and the girl re-entered the classroom. Lou Cheng found the nearest cafe and asked for an iced latte. As he drank, he used the local internet to search for famous criminals in Connecticut.
The first thing that came into his view was a scary guy known as the "God Slayer". He committed crimes all over America, not just in Connecticut. He took pleasure in killing famous "superheroes". Other than that, there was no pattern to his crimes. Until now, he hadn't been caught.
"This guy probably has the strength of a Physical Invulnerability expert …" Lou Cheng exclaimed.
However, the "God Slayer" targeted powerful "superheroes". It was almost impossible for him to affect Ke Ke, so he didn't need to be wary of him.
Lou Cheng swiped his thumb and looked at the search results again.
"Every year, the" Nightmare "would randomly kill people. His targets have no pattern. The only thing that can be confirmed is that when the corpse is found, the forehead will be slit vertically and there seems to be an additional bloody eye … According to the police report, there was once a person who tried to commit a crime to escape the law. In the end, he provoked the" Nightmare "and became the next victim …"
"From the limited two encounters, this guy is considered a veteran Grandmaster of Martial Arts in America. He's similar to our Inhuman …"
"No leads, no leads …" Lou Cheng sipped his coffee in frustration. His plan to clean up criminals had been foiled before it even started.
He didn't even know who the culprit was …
Out of habit, he continued to scroll down. He saw that there were cases of two to four female high school students and below disappearing every year. After years of police investigation, they could basically confirm that the culprit was the same person, codenamed "Butcher".
On the list of suspects listed online, Lou Cheng saw a familiar name.
"Eh, Joseph? Joseph from the Msasi Martial Arts Gym? "
…
In an ordinary car on the street, Smith looked at the surveillance camera and asked his subordinates,
"Can you find out what he's seen?"
"Yes, but you need to use the Skynet, boss," answered the guy wearing a baseball cap casually.
