Wizard: I brought the wrong system.

Chapter 500 Five Animal Frolics

The most despairing thing in the world is not the absence of a road, but the fact that as soon as you step onto it, you've already reached the end.

This is the legacy of the Witcher.

From the moment they became witchers with the help of potions, they were only familiarizing themselves with and mastering the techniques; their true power did not increase at all.

Just like how Yaro's endurance and physique each increased by 1 point after practicing "Blood Frenzy" for more than ten days, Anabe, although without a system, could also feel his physical fitness improving.

In Bialo's imagination, he valued "Blood Frenzy" more.

Therefore, the moment the Wind Dragon Armor stopped, Anabe ceased his training, sought out Yaro again, and shared his thoughts.

"Reorder all the movements, mimicking the physical characteristics of animals, and combine similar movements and muscle twists together..."

Yaro was completely confused: "Could you give me a rough demonstration?"

"like this."

As Anabe spoke, he took two steps back, letting his arms hang naturally, took a deep breath to puff out his chest, then clenched his fists and slowly raised them to his chin.

It tilted its head and peered out, looking as comical as a big monkey.

"Five Animal Frolics?"

Yaro almost thought he had met a fellow countryman, but upon closer inspection, he realized that it was not quite him.

These actions are entirely composed of fragmented 'blood berserk' movements.

It's like breaking a porcelain bowl and then using the fragments to create a painting.

Anabe dispersed the violent energy and blood through his movements, then categorized and rearranged these movements in groups.

"The Five Animal Frolics?" Anabe lowered his hand, looked up in surprise, and asked, "So it really requires five to fully summarize them?"

"What do you mean by 'as expected'?" Yaro asked, somewhat puzzled. "Don't misunderstand, I just felt that your movements just now were very similar to a secret technique I've seen before... well, a secret technique I've seen before called 'Five Animal Frolics'."

“Oh, I see. That’s normal then,” Anabe said, not minding. “This kind of holistic training method mainly works on the muscle groups of the five parts of the body. It’s normal that different paths lead to the same goal.”

Is this another way of understanding it?
Well, Yaro had only seen the old men in the park slowly practicing, but he hadn't actually learned how to do it himself, so he didn't really understand it.

Without dwelling on the 'Five Animal Frolics' issue, Ya Luo immediately said, "Your learning approach is fine, but it's only suitable for the first stage of surging Qi and blood. The second stage, which is the core stage, requires using a fixed process to control the flow of life force within the body. The order of this step cannot be changed."

It's like spinning two balls in your palm; all five fingers must work in a rhythmic pattern. If any one finger deviates, it will either stop completely or even cause the balls to fly away.

This is the core stage of "Blood Frenzy".

Unless there is a complete change, which would be equivalent to redesigning a solution, and it might not even achieve the same goal.

“I know, I have no intention of changing the order of the core components,” Anabe explained.

"That's fine. When you make the changes, just pay a little attention. The first stage of the Qi and Blood Frenzy is to tire the muscles. The degree of fatigue for each muscle is also designed, so don't change the number of repetitions for each movement. It can't be more or less. Other than that, there shouldn't be any major problems."

Arro assumed that Anabe was using this method to deepen his memory, so he casually gave a few instructions, waved his hand, and prepared to leave.

"Dean, wait a minute." Yaro turned around and asked, "Is there anything else?"

“I’d like to ask…” Anabe paused for a moment, then said hesitantly, “Since the first stage of the Blood Frenzy can be divided into five parts, then the core stage… can it also be divided in the same way?”

"Didn't you hear what I just said?" Yaro said impatiently, his brows furrowed.

Anabe quickly explained, "You misunderstood. I didn't mean to rewrite the order of the core parts, but rather to mark them."

“A label? What does that mean?” Yaro asked, puzzled.

“Like this,” Anabe held up his left hand as if to give someone a high five, “look, these are my five fingers. If I mark the core rhythm of the raging blood and qi on these five fingers, then I can play a piece of music with this hand according to the rhythm of the raging blood and qi.”

"And since the first and second phases use the same muscle groups, the movements in the first phase can be completely integrated into the same way as the second phase."

"From now on, you can directly learn the first stage first. After you have mastered it, you can integrate it directly and play a piece called 'Qi and Blood Frenzy' in your body according to the rhythm of the second stage."

Through Anabe's gestures, Yaro finally understood what he meant.

Originally, the first stage of Yarrow's design aimed to rapidly fatigue specific muscle groups.

The second stage only requires simple control.

Both phases are clearly and directly aimed at the goal.

Anabe's goal was to integrate the two phases of movement, where the same movement could tire the muscles in the first phase and then control and activate the muscle groups in the second phase.

This will almost inevitably lead to a decrease in the effectiveness of muscle fatigue in the first phase and a decrease in control in the second phase.

"It's like there's a straight road, but you insist on taking a huge detour," Yaro commented.

Anabe said with a serious face: "But this also reduces the difficulty of learning. Too much difficulty will only lead to self-doubt and giving up. One step at a time, you will eventually reach the end."

What is the theory of successive approximation in psychology?

I never expected that Anabe, who looks so unkempt, could say such profound things.

Yaro couldn't help but look at Anabe with newfound respect. "So, this detour you're referring to is a spiral staircase you're building?"

“That’s right,” Anabe looked at Yaro and asked seriously, “This way, they can also become a whole, right?”

What does it mean to 'make them a whole'?
Yaro frowned, feeling that Anabe was acting strangely today, but he generally understood what Anabe meant.

Yaro nodded and said, "If the movements used in the first and second stages are exactly the same, when you truly achieve the Qi and Blood Frenzy, the muscles mobilized during these exercises can also channel the life force in your body in turn."

Simply put, this is both a training method and a fighting method.

Since these movements can channel scattered life force to the heart, they can, in turn, channel life force from the heart to the corresponding muscle groups in the body.

According to the terminology of martial arts internal energy cultivation, this means opening up the internal and external meridians, allowing 'internal energy' to circulate unimpeded.

Anabe grew even more excited: "Dean Yarrow, could you help me finish it!"
