Cosmic Demon

Chapter 13 New Skills, Battle Replay
"gather!"

Lao Liang blew the whistle hanging around his neck, and the sharp sound gathered the scattered students together.

Led by Li Yuan and Xie Yucheng, they stood in two rows according to their height.

"This is a new student, Qin Shi. Like you, he is the son of an employee of Jiuchang Street. Let's get to know each other."

After a brief introduction, Lao Liang began to arrange the training content:
"As usual, run ten laps first, time limit is forty minutes. The last person will get five more laps!

We will practice standing and holding the frame later. I have taught punches, steps, and body movements in the past few days, and will conduct actual combat tests later. "

Wow!

Everyone rushed to the playground and ran as fast as they could!
Everyone knows Lao Liang's methods, and he punishes students ruthlessly when they make mistakes.

No. 9 Middle School is not like the schools in the urban area. No matter how naughty a troublemaker is, he will be subdued after a few slaps.

Going back to complain to the parents won't work in Jiuchang Street.

Working families have always had a simple sense of trust in teachers.

Therefore, those gangsters who once followed Lao Liang and dropped out of school early, even if they didn't continue their studies.

Seeing him again was like meeting the King of Hell, and I tried to avoid him.

"Hour, you stay."

Lao Liang called Qin Shi:

“After you have grasped the Qi sensation, ordinary physical training will be of no use to you. It is too inefficient to tap your potential.

We will continue to do the coiling exercise in the morning, and this time we will wait until they finish running before we can rest."

The sun was high in the sky and the heat was unbearable.

Forty minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

Standing under the scorching sun, Qin Shi's expression was distorted, sweat was pouring down his face, and his skin was as red as a boiled shrimp.

The large tendons hidden in the body jump violently, causing the muscle groups to shake violently.

It was obvious that he was consuming a huge amount of physical energy every second.

“Stretching the tendons is very important. When the tendons are stretched, blood circulation is enhanced and bone density is increased.

Over time, your skeleton that supports your flesh and skin becomes denser and heavier.

This is what the old martial arts often refer to as 'heavy bones and flexible tendons'.

Once you achieve this, your punches will hurt you more and one punch will be worth ten punches from your opponent!"

Lao Liang made no secret of it and gave Qin Shi special treatment in public.

He has talked about these things countless times.

Traditional martial arts have never been just theory. It is useless to just listen to them. You must understand the meaning and practice them deeply.

Lao Liang asked:
"How do you feel now, Xiaoshi?"

"It's numb and itchy on top, and sore and swollen down there..."

Qin Shi clenched his teeth. The longer he stood, the warm current in his body became clearer.

This time, the feeling came quickly.

In just over ten minutes, the Qi was captured, but it was unable to form a complete circulation.

Every time he tried to ensure the continuity of his breathing, it would become disordered due to lack of physical strength.

The subtle sense of energy that has been captured is interrupted.

"now it's right!"

Lao Liang was very satisfied.

"From an earthworm lying in the mud, shedding its skin to become a snake or python, and finally transforming into a dragon, soaring into the sky. How could it be easy!
Go ahead and practice for another ten minutes!"

Lao Liang is too cruel!
It really trains me to death!
Qin Shi cursed in his heart.

This would be without the buff of [Deep Sleep] and the enhanced effect of [Muscle Memory].

He may not be able to withstand this devilish training!

“The two servings of nutritional cream every day were not wasted, and the registration fee was not waived in vain.

This kid, in the old era, was born with good muscles and bones!

With a little more practice, it won't be a problem to grow a 'monkey arm, bee waist, mantis leg'."

Seeing Qin Shi suffer, Lao Liang was very happy.

In traditional martial arts training, training muscles and bones is an indispensable and key part.

But not everyone can endure it.

The pain of stretched tendons, tearing pain, and friction of joints are like being cut by a knife or stabbed by a needle...all are uncomfortable.

These tortures, which are almost like cruel corporal punishments, stimulate the brain again and again, making it impossible for people to concentrate and give rise to a fear of difficulty.

Therefore, Jiuwu only selects good seedlings.

As the saying goes, "A hundred seedlings grow into one tree, and a thousand trees grow into a single towering tree."

That's it.

In comparison, Xinwu is much gentler.

High-end training halls and large group clubs are often equipped with medical teams of dozens or even hundreds of people.

Through various technological means, such as nutritional supplements, electromagnetic therapy, high-energy sustained-release fluids, etc., the body's systems are carefully regulated.

It not only reduces the risk of injury, but also ensures a steady increase in vitality.

As for the shortcomings.

It's very plain and simple.

Four big words - get out of here, poor bastard!
……

...This high-intensity physical training lasted for four days.

Qin Shi left home every morning and came back at night, tired as a dead dog.

From 40 minutes of coiling the muscles and stretching the back, it was extended to two hours in the morning and two hours in the afternoon.

From capturing the Qi, it becomes about guiding its circulation, ensuring more than two small circulations.

Lao Liang was merciless and fully squeezed every potential out of Qin Shi's body.

He strives to transform all the nutritional paste he eats into rich vitality.

“It’s true that there is no such thing as a free lunch.

If it was Zhou Ning, Bao would be beaten to the point of foaming at the mouth by Lao Liang and faint on the spot!"

In the bedroom of the shed on Baogong Street, Qin Shi opened the closet, took out clothes, and glanced at the full-length mirror embedded inside.

The figure in the mirror has solid muscles, tight skin, a well-proportioned body, and every line is just right.

Kaka!

Qin Shi clenched his fists lightly, and his joints made a slight sound.

The fascia of the arms and shoulders rose up instantly like cowhide.

In the previous life, to achieve such results, one would have to practice hard for at least two and a half years.

It is a professional bodybuilding that strictly controls diet and follows a muscle-building process.

"In less than a week, the me now can beat both of my former selves."

Qin Shi's physical fitness improved rapidly by doing back curling and qi control every day.

The joints stretch, the bones open, and the tendons lengthen!
All these changes made him grow taller.

About 1.82 meters tall.

“Old martial arts can indeed transform the human body, and the changes in body shape are not small.

My shoulders are broader, my back is thicker, and I have developed shark muscles.”

Qin Shi simply admired it for a few seconds and casually put on a loose T-shirt to cover up his good figure.

The monument panel with a black border unfolds, and after hard work, the progress is gratifying.

【Primary Achievement-Deep Sleep (7/7)】

【Primary Achievement-Muscle Memory (61%)】

“I don’t know what skills I can unlock.”

Qin Shi rubbed his hands expectantly and focused all his attention on the monument panel.

As the conditions were met, the gray stone tablet, which originally looked like a small mound of earth, turned into white granite.

It exudes a unique meaning of hardness and firmness!

Followed by.

A waterfall of text messages refreshes quickly——

【Intermediate Achievement-Deep Sleep】

[Deep sleep: It’s great to be young, you can fall asleep as soon as you lie down. Any organism’s growth stage cannot be separated from adequate rest, let alone you, a still developing embryo seed. ]

[Features: You will no longer face the trouble of insomnia, and you can recover more physical strength and energy through shorter sleep time. The immune system is reorganized and the resistance to viruses is greatly improved.]

[Advanced route: Maintaining a good work and rest schedule is essential. If you persist in going to bed early and getting up early for 30 days, you can upgrade again. ]

“Never lose sleep, quickly restore your energy bar, and add a buff similar to immunity to all diseases. Perfect!”

Qin Shi nodded, very satisfied.

Human beings spend nearly one-third of their life sleeping.

If you shorten this time, you can do more physical exercises.

An achievement like [Muscle Memory] requires more than twenty sets of exhaustion training every day.

But because I need to practice martial arts and stand in a fixed position with Lao Liang.

The courses are too packed and it is difficult to complete them on time and in full.

[Unlock skill: Battle replay]

[Effect: Capture every detail of the opponent, magnify every move of the opponent, and find flaws and opportunities for victory. ]

"If it's an instant skill, it would be amazing. If it's activated suddenly in the middle of a battle, wouldn't it be like stopping time?"

Qin Shi's eyes flickered and his thoughts wandered.

The next moment, he mobilized his spirit and tried to use the new skills he unlocked.

A few seconds passed, and there was no response!
In my imagination, the slow-motion scene of entering bullet time did not appear!
"What a pity, it looks like it's a passive trigger."

Qin Shi suppressed his regret and returned his gaze to the updated data panel.

[Anchor point: Qin Dynasty]

【Growth stage: embryo】

[Progress: 0.009%]

[Monument number: Deep sleep (intermediate), muscle memory (primary)]

[Skill: Battle Replay]

"My efforts paid off! I upgraded [Deep Sleep] to a higher level, my progress improved a bit, and I also unlocked a new skill..."

Qin Shi wondered silently, whether this string of numbers representing the progress of embryo growth was related to vitality?
If so, doesn't it mean that I have developed my vitality to 9 points in such a short period of time?
“We must find a way to conduct a comprehensive test so as to know the current level of vitality.

If it is exactly 9 o'clock, it means that I have made great progress and will be able to pass the amateur level exam easily. "
