Chu Li smiled. "That's why you're all cultivating wrongly!"
His expression remained the same as he said, "If you don't believe me, you can practice according to my method and the old way. Now, I'll explain the first picture of the Crouching Bull Insight."
As he spoke, he struck a pose.
Suddenly, his aura changed drastically as if he had turned into a green bull.
Moreover, it was a gigantic green bull with a monstrous aura as if it could stomp him into minced meat with a single stomp.
Chu Li said, "The first picture isn't about a crouching bull, it's about becoming a bull. How can you become a green bull? Only by understanding the green bull and being similar to it can you truly tame it. It's this picture that often leads people astray and makes them think that they'll become green bulls in the future."
As he spoke, he made a punching gesture.
Instantly, it was as if a green bull was raising its horns to pierce through the sky. It was a shocking sight.
"Does anyone want to try the power of the first picture of the Crouching Bull Insight?" Chu Li asked.
Duan Tianya floated up and landed on the stage. He fist saluted. "Young Master, let me try!"
Chu Li nodded and punched with both hands like a bull.
Duan Tianya met it with his fist using the Crouching Bull Punch.
"Bang!" A muffled sound was heard as Duan Tianya and Chu Li's fists collided and he staggered backward.
Chu Li retracted his fist and smiled at Duan Tianya. "I didn't use my inner energy this time. It's purely physical strength."
Duan Tianya nodded.
Indeed, he did not feel any fist force. There was only a strong force, but it was enough to force him to retreat.
Chu Li said, "This punch is a basic fist technique. You can activate it according to your heart technique. As for its power, it depends on your cultivation level. However, the power of this punch lies in its amplification of pure physical strength. When you don't have any inner energy, you can still use this punch to win. With inner energy, it'll be even more powerful."
Duan Tianya frowned. "But why isn't our punch as powerful?"
They all saw the first picture as a beginner's guide, used to train their bodies. They never thought about its power. It was like the starting gesture, just a decoration or a guide for later cultivation.
Chu Li said, "That's because everyone didn't practice it correctly. I'll go through the intricacies of this punch in detail. Every movement must be precise. The slightest mistake can lead to a huge error. There can't be any mistakes."
As he spoke, he began to stand. Everyone's steps were different. Because of their different heights, the steps required were also different. Some only needed to take small steps, while others needed to take big steps.
Everyone got up and started practicing on the training field.
Chu Li glided off the stage and corrected everyone's posture.
With the Omniscient Mirror, he could clearly see everyone's meridians, aura flow, and vital essence flow. That was why he could adjust everyone's posture to the best state and achieve the most precise state.
Murong Chun, Xia Liyan, and a few other higher-ups also went along with the flow. They posed with the others so that Chu Li could correct them.
They were the most curious, and their suspicions of Chu Li deepened. They felt that the two elders could not possibly be wrong.
However, as soon as Chu Li adjusted their postures and did not do anything else, they instantly felt their bodies relax. Their bodies were connected, and an invisible force surged from the soles of their feet. It was as if their feet had become one with the ground. Boundless energy surged from the ground, and they could not wait to release it.
This made it impossible for them to doubt it. They had never felt this way before.
Chu Li's movements were extremely fast. With just one palm, he corrected everyone's posture. He did not need to adjust it bit by bit.
Even so, it took some time for him to hit one thousand palms.
The others were not impatient. They were all in a wonderful state. They felt like they had become one with the ground. They were the ground, and the ground was them. The ground surged with boundless energy.
They were full of energy. They were better than they had been before.
After correcting everyone's posture, Chu Li glided back to the stage and said, "I don't think there's a need to continue today. Everyone, just stand for a while. When you really remember this feeling, it'll be better if you can stand by yourself next time."
Duan Tianya said, "Young Lord, we have nowhere to release our energy. We'll suffocate."
Chu Li said, "You can't release it. Once you do, it'll be useless. This form is used to nourish and strengthen the body. The longer you stand, the better. It can increase everyone's strength. This is the real way to cultivate the Green Bull."
"Young Lord, what about the second illustration?" Murong Chun asked.
Chu Li glanced at him and chuckled. "It seems like Elder Murong can't wait for the second illustration. Originally, everyone should've cultivated the first illustration for around a year to strengthen their bodies. However, since Elder Murong and everyone else is anxious, I'll talk about the second illustration."
The aura around him changed. It suddenly became illusory and unpredictable.
Then, he said, "The second illustration starts with the Crouching Bull Technique. It's the first technique of Crouching Bull. It requires the circulation of an extremely hard force, and then it becomes extremely soft. You can freely switch between hard and soft. When you can freely switch between the two, you'll be considered to have cultivated the second illustration."
Everyone listened to him thoughtfully.
Chu Li fiercely threw a punch. A huge green bull appeared in front of everyone. It was so lifelike that it looked no different from the real thing.
The green bull's momentum was unstoppable. It was as if it wanted to crush everyone in its way.
His punch was aimed at Murong Chun and the others.
Murong Chun and the others threw their fists at it. They were also using the Crouching Bull Fist.
"Moo …" Chu Li's green bull seemed to let out a low growl. It knocked away everyone's fist force and crashed into them.
More than twenty people flew into the air. An opening was formed in the encirclement.
The green bull disappeared into the air. Chu Li retracted his fist and nodded in satisfaction. "Everyone, do you feel anything?"
Murong Chun, Xia Liyan, and a few other elders and disciples who flew into the air were deep in thought. They felt the fist force and noticed something strange. It was as if it was extremely hard, but it suddenly became unpredictable. It was soft and weak, but it suddenly became hard and fierce. It was impossible to defend against it. It was so uncomfortable that they wanted to vomit blood.
Chu Li said, "It's useless to blindly be hard and soft. Only by combining hard and soft and changing at will, it's truly magical. I don't have to explain the last few illustrations of the Crouching Bull Insight. Everyone should follow this logic and comprehend it. I'm sure you'll be able to master it quickly."
Everyone looked at Murong Chun and Xia Liyan who remained silent. It was obvious that they agreed with Chu Li's words.
Chu Li smiled. "Elder Xia, Elder Murong, you can go back and try. If it doesn't work, you can stop cultivating."
"… Alright," Murong Chun said slowly.
The Young Lord's words completely overturned his understanding of the Crouching Bull Insight. He had to start from scratch.
It was not an easy task. He needed to fight against his original beliefs. The older one was, the harder it was to change. Duan Tianya and the others were more accepting.
Chu Li glanced at everyone and said, "Everyone can give it a try. I'll start teaching three days later."
