Chapter 608 Strength

"The foundation of inner strength lies in the body, and the core source is food."

"You should think of your body as a blacksmith, food as iron ore, and inner strength as the weapon made by the blacksmith..."

"Internal force exists in our bodies, but we cannot feel it normally, and we don't have the right means to gather it. So if we want to sense internal force, the easiest way is to exercise and make the body stronger. This is 'external power'..."

"Using external skills to cultivate internal strength that can be directly perceived by one's own consciousness is as difficult as asking a blacksmith to make weapons without using any tools..."

"So our first step is to make this 'blacksmith' tool, which is to open up the Dantian."

"Opening up Dantian also requires internal strength, and this part of internal strength can only be activated by external skills."

"This external skill for opening up Dantian is called 'Zhuang'. It can be divided into 'dynamic Zhuang' and 'static Zhuang'. 'Dynamic Zhuang' helps to open up the meridians, while 'static Zhuang' focuses on opening up the acupuncture points..."

"If the internal force is compared to sticky honey, the 'dynamic pile' is like constantly shaking the bottle of the body, allowing the internal force, the honey, to move back and forth along a specific route. The 'static pile' is similar to turning the bottle upside down, allowing the honey in the bottle to slowly move in a fixed direction."

……

noon.

The sun is shining brightly.

After a morning of exercise and study, the five tired girls ate something and prepared for a nap.

Yaluo and Bevin left the yard and returned to their tent.

At this point, Bevin couldn't help but ask the question he had been holding back for the whole morning.

"Teacher, I thought you would use the same skills you used to help me on the journey to show them your Qinggong skills. I didn't expect you could even smash such a big rock with one palm! Is this also witchcraft? Can martial arts achieve the same effect?"

"of course can."

Ya Luo chuckled and said, "Do you still remember the principle of how the diamond finger pecks through stone?"

It had only been a few days, so Bevin naturally remembered.

"The vitality repels the earth magic. The accumulated earth magic changes the texture of the stone in a short period of time, thus affecting the compactness of the stone. Combined with the force of the external attack, it causes the stone to crack."

Ya Luo nodded slightly and agreed: "Yes, this is 'power'!"

"Jing? What does that mean?" Bevin asked puzzledly.

"To combine with force is called 'jin'."

Yaluo added, "Just like before, I covered my palms with earth magic power, borrowed the principle of 'Vajra Finger' to break the stone, and used my own strength to crack the stone. This extraordinary power that works with strength is what I call 'Jing'."

"For example, fire magic can be called 'fiery power', ice magic can be called 'icy power', and neutral vitality or vitality without obvious attribute bias can be called 'gang power'."

Bevan frowned: "Teacher, isn't this a normal magical effect? ​​Why does it need a separate name?"

Ya Luo said: "Because I found that the principle of the diamond finger destroying stone has great potential for further exploration, and can even be used as the main means of destruction for warriors!"

Bevin didn't quite understand.

However, he had long understood that the teacher's wisdom was profound and he could always see the subtleties that ordinary people could hardly perceive.

  So just ask:

"Teacher, through this principle, I can only think of that it can also destroy weapons and armor, or resist witchcraft and magic. It has no effect on living things at all, right?"

"I know the key to your question. You don't understand how 'force' can affect soft things."

As Yaluo spoke, he took out a piece of uncut beef from his space ring and handed over a dagger.

“Can you cut steak?”

Bevin shook his head: "I don't really understand." From childhood to adulthood, Bevin basically just ate the finished product and had never cooked anything himself.

Seeing this, Ya Luo did not hesitate. He took back the short knife and gestured on the beef:

"If you're just cutting the beef, cut against the grain and it will be easier to cut."

"But if you're cutting a steak, you cut against the grain of the beef so it has a loose texture after cooking."

"The body of an organism is like this piece of beef, with specific muscle texture directions."

"Even if the nature of the internal force changes, its foundation is still life force, which will inevitably affect the muscle structure of the living body. The parts affected by the life force will naturally proliferate, but the newly proliferated parts will inevitably be weaker than other parts. It's like adding a texture to this piece of meat along the direction of the force."

As Yaluo spoke, he cut a small hole along the grain of the beef and then grabbed it.

"Look, just like this..."

As he spoke, he exerted force with his arms.

Tear!

A piece of meat was torn off directly and smoothly.

"This is 'strength'. It increases the damage done to living things."

"You also know that, in conjunction with the output of strength, 'jin' can enhance the damage of 'li' to hard objects. I have just explained the principle of 'jin'''s damage to living things."

"'Jing' itself can resist witchcraft and magic."

"Then why doesn't it deserve a name?"

……

'Internal Power' is not only new in name, but also in the way it is practiced.

Unlike formal knights, who exercise consistently.

It's not like a wizard, where you need to meditate from beginning to end.

On the path of internal strength, the focus is different at each stage.

To develop inner strength, the emphasis is on physical fitness—similar to the training of knights.

To purify the inner strength, one needs to open up the acupuncture points and meridians and perform large circulations - similar to a wizard's meditation.

As for going further up, Yaluo hasn't figured it out yet, but he hasn't completed the first two steps yet, so there's no need to rush into things that far ahead.

Just the two points that have been clarified now can form a logical closed loop.

A strong body can produce better internal strength.

The purified internal energy can in turn strengthen the body.

The two are interdependent and mutually reinforcing, and can completely spiral upward.

However, precisely because the "internal strength" is too new and there is basically nothing similar to learn from, when teaching, every detail needs to be explained by Ya Luo and taught personally.

Fortunately, although these five girls are young, they have all experienced the hardships of life.

When they have the chance to gain strength, they are not afraid of physical fatigue at all. They will not rest until they collapse from exhaustion. Not to mention cheating, Yaluo even needs to order them to stop and rest.

During this process, the older businessman girl performed particularly well.

Not only did she memorize theoretical knowledge quickly, like a sponge, quickly absorbing all knowledge related to martial arts, but her learning speed of "Jingzhuang" was also amazing.
