Chapter 921 916. "Martial Arts" Practice

Border area.

Ma En lowered his right leg and steadily stepped onto the psychic block in front of him. Then, as he lifted his back leg, he released the psychic block he had just stepped on and stepped into the air that was about to create the psychic block.

He walked in mid-air in a seemingly natural way, without any hint of anything unnatural about it.

This journey through memories not only enhanced his mental strength once again, but also gave him a rather subtle feeling during his battles with martial artists.

After finding a way to control his own defensive shield, he immediately came up with an effective countermeasure. But most importantly, the moment he made the countermeasure, even before he understood what to do, his subconscious made the judgment.

Moreover, he was incredibly fast at devising countermeasures; in actual combat, the enemy probably wouldn't even be able to detect the difference between the two. In addition, this almost instinctive reaction was also remarkably simple and efficient.

Although not entirely clear on this, Mar and Eng had a vague feeling that such a rapid response strategy did not come out of thin air, but was likely related to their martial arts experience.

This means that it is very likely that this abnormal knowledge entered his mind and completely changed him.

This change may not only be a direct effect of martial arts, but also have an indirect impact on Li Hongyu's memories. Perhaps martial arts, as an abnormal form of knowledge, is also awakening her combat memories.

It was for this reason that he began to try to incorporate the martial arts concepts he had seen into his mental power practice, attempting to rediscover that subtle feeling from his memory in this way.

He is currently undergoing telekinesis training, which draws on some basic martial arts training concepts. After several days of such training, Ma En has indeed been able to feel some subtle changes.

Although the degree was not obvious, he could indeed feel that his mind and body were more in harmony.

For example, the unusual techniques he first "mastered"—or rather, the few unusual techniques he hasn't forgotten—are still very useful today.

This technique, just like its name, is like a close-fitting garment draped over one's body. But as he began to train in various martial arts imitations, Ma En also vaguely sensed a subtle change in the outer garment.

It is gradually transforming from clothing into its own skin.

Moreover, although this change is not so obvious now, in fact, considering his training time, the speed of this change is actually very fast, even to the point of being unreal.

It's as if he's not learning or comprehending...

Instead, it's a recollection.

This is why Mar felt that the past two years were not entirely a direct result of martial arts training.

He walked steadily down the "stairs" and returned to the ground covered with leaves. As he walked naturally on the ground, the fallen leaves and dust around him scattered to both sides, as if some little sprite of nature was paving a path for him.

When he first started practicing, he had to deliberately move the fallen leaves away. However, as he integrated this training into all aspects of his daily life, he gradually stopped needing to use his brain to control his mental power.

It's like when he walks, he can lift his leg without having to consciously do it.

Naturally, he doesn't need to deliberately make the leaves scatter. He doesn't need to draw any shape of the range of his mental energy in his mind, nor does he need to make his mental energy swing like a broom.

He only needs to walk forward, and the fallen leaves will naturally make way for him.

Don't think about anything.

If in the past, telekinesis was more like a super weapon that could be almost entirely controlled by one's will, then now telekinesis is gradually becoming what it should be—a component of one's own spirit and body.

His mental power is no different from his hands, brain, and heart.

This feeling is probably related to the fact that martial arts knowledge is a kind of abnormal information and has awakened his memories, and it is also likely related to his mental strength getting closer and closer to recovery.

It is recovering.

Ma En raised his hand, and many fine dust particles swirled around his wrist like planetary belts, drawn by independent forces rather than being dragged by brute psychic power.

In the past, he would have needed to concentrate fully to achieve such an effect, as if he were operating a large instrument that could unleash terrifying power. But now, the precise trajectory of this dust was like the complex activity of the cells in his body, breathing outside his body in the most carefree manner.

"It seems that those martial arts books have also provided you with a lot of help."

Li Hongyu said, standing at the doorway.

Ma En turned to look at Li Hongyu, whom he had noticed long ago; the dust on her wrist was still flowing naturally.
"Do you see anything?"

Li Hongyu did not answer directly:
"Perhaps, but I don't know the answer to that question. If you could bring God Fist to me, he might be able to tell me whether I've seen anything, but I can't answer that question myself."

Marne said:

"I might actually have a way to bring the Divine Fist right in front of you."

Upon hearing this, Li Hongyu didn't react immediately. After a few seconds, a suspicious look appeared in her eyes:
"What do you mean?"

Marne said:

"The Divine Fist is not dead."

Li Hongyu opened her eyes wide:

"You mean the guy who wrote this book isn't dead?"

Maren then said:

"But his condition is not good, it's even much worse than ours. At least I can't see any trace of the former Divine Fist in him. Now he's just an old man who can't take care of himself."

Hearing this, Li Hongyu didn't know whether to feel relieved or disappointed, but she did breathe a sigh of relief:

"is it?"

As a martial artist, she wasn't ready to look up at this towering mountain. If she had already reached the Innate Realm, she felt she would be quite excited about the return of the Divine Fist.

But now, she feels only fear.

Marx and Engels also noticed this:
Are you worried about his return?

Li Hongyu nodded:
“That’s right. I didn’t realize I had this thought before you mentioned it, but I suddenly realized it when you said he was still alive.”

"I'm afraid to see him, at least the one who wrote this book?"

Marx and Engels asked with a hint of curiosity:
"why?"

Li Hongyu said honestly:

"I'm afraid that after seeing him, I won't have the courage to move forward in martial arts. I'm afraid that I've seen some kind of correct answer, a correct answer that I can never reach in my life."

"I'm afraid that if I see someone who can fly, I'll forget how to walk."

Marx and Engels asked:

"Can you deduce what kind of person he is from these words? I mean, based on our current prevailing moral standards, what kind of person do you think he is more likely to be?" Li Hongyu pondered for a moment before replying:

"I think rather than saying he's more of a so-called good or bad person, it's better to say he's definitely a very pure martial artist. I can see his passionate love for martial arts."

"This love is genuine, and of course, perhaps I can see more..."

"On the condition that you give me more content from 'Martial Arts'."

Upon hearing this, Marx and Engels simply nodded slightly.
"If the situation is appropriate."

Li Hongyu's answer was basically the same as Marx and Engels' judgment, but such repeated verification was not entirely useless, because she provided a very interesting point.

That means that Shenquan must love martial arts, and it is probably very important to him. This information will also help me to better negotiate and communicate with him in the future or in the past.

This might become a bargaining chip at some point.

Li Hongyu also realized that Ma En did not intend to meet her expectations, but this was within her expectations.

"Your practice these days must be related to martial arts, right?" Li Hongyu changed the subject. "Although I spend most of my time reading in my room, I've occasionally seen you practicing. To be honest..."

"You seem to be making rapid progress."

Marne said:

"It doesn't look like a martial arts training session at all."

Li Hongyu nodded:
"It's not even like when you were practicing those martial arts. To be honest, I think you progressed faster when you were practicing your telekinesis than when you were learning those martial arts. But that's not because you showed better martial arts talent in those areas. How should I put it..."

She thought for a few seconds before saying hesitantly:

“I feel more like you never really put your heart into practicing martial arts before, and now you’ve finally found a style of martial arts that you’re particularly good at and enjoy, and you’ve embarked on your own righteous path.”

Marx and Engels revealed a knowing look:
"turn out to be……"

call out!
As she spoke, Li Hongyu suddenly raised her hand and struck Ma En in the face.

Snapped.

Her hand stopped steadily a dozen centimeters away from Ma En, as if it had been held by someone.

Li Hongyu withdrew her hand, which had been released, and looked at the still-moving dust, saying:

"Moreover, I feel that this power is more like your body than your body. You know, I have quite a few disciples who have abnormal powers, but their powers cannot be integrated into martial arts learning."

"Even for me, the combination of external forces and martial arts is the result of my own hard work. I need to specifically research and create a particular martial art to integrate the various forces within me into it."

"But you're different. You're not integrating it into martial arts; you use this power like a martial artist uses our bodies. We all have absolute control over it, if I'm not mistaken..."

"I'm afraid you'll be able to use this power to replace your body in martial arts."

Marx and Engels looked surprised:

"You mean I can use telekinesis to perform martial arts?"

Li Hongyu nodded:
"Of course, you can't just copy it blindly. After all, many martial arts are created and designed based on the human body, and there are many times when you really can't use them directly, at least not for you right now..."

"But for a martial artist of my level, it's completely different. It's like if I encounter a martial art that's suitable for a Yin-type martial artist to practice, it's really not good for me to practice it directly."

"But as long as I modify the martial art according to the situation, I can still exert 50% to 80% of its power in most cases. Moreover, if the martial art is particularly compatible with me and I modify it particularly well, it is very likely that it can fully exert its original power, or even be better than the original."

"Actually, I have quite a few martial arts techniques that I could adapt for you, because the difference between telekinesis and physical strength isn't even as significant as the difference in physical constitution I just mentioned, it's just a pity..."

She looked regretful as she said this:

“These martial arts that I am familiar with are all very slow to learn, as if your strength is instinctively resisting their existence. It is a pity that you can only learn martial arts from the past.”

"However, if you still have a way to find martial arts from the past, then you can look for any martial arts that are particularly suitable for use with telekinesis."

"If you can bring it back, then perhaps I can help you modify it to suit your situation."

"Of course, you should also pay appropriate compensation for this."

At this point, she revealed a sly smile. Clearly, this was her real purpose in telling Ma En all this; she wanted to obtain more martial arts information through this transaction.

Not to mention that such martial arts modification itself must provide her with the martial arts being modified.

This was a very profitable deal for her.

But Mar and Eng still nodded calmly:

"Yes, if I can find it."

Because this was also a very profitable deal for him. All he had to provide was some cost-free knowledge, and in exchange, he would get a way to enhance his telekinetic attack methods.

Considering that his psychic power will soon reach the peak of level V, if he can truly master these advanced martial arts techniques, it will greatly enhance the power he can unleash.

Moreover, unlike ordinary martial arts techniques, it is entirely possible for him to have initially mastered such advanced martial arts in just a few months.

As Li Hongyu said, his mental power progressed much faster in martial arts than his physical body.

Li Hongyu was a little surprised to see Ma En agree so readily. She had actually thought that Ma En would try to bargain with her, since he had been a little "stingy" in the previous transactions.

For this reason, she also said, with a touch of kindness:

"Of course, if you can really master a few advanced martial arts and accumulate an understanding of the entire martial arts system in the process, then you might be able to modify these martial arts yourself at that time."

"By then, you certainly won't need my help anymore, because you will definitely be able to modify martial arts better than I can, just as you understand your own strength far better than I do."

"You might even be able to improve these martial arts to some extent, because your mind can do many things more easily than your body, and of course, the reverse is also true."

"In many situations, and even most of the time, the physical body is more effective than your mental power."

"After all, this is the foundation of martial arts. Many martial arts have developed in this way. Your situation is quite special, as you have no accumulated knowledge of martial arts in this area."

Marx and Engels nodded:

"I understand."

Li Hongyu is right, and this might also explain why she could remember so many martial arts techniques. After all, if complete mental power could be used as a physical body to practice martial arts...

That means you may have done something similar in the past.
