I will eventually become a god through sheer hard work.

In a sense, he truly is the 'man-made genius' that Li Qi was talking about.

"Xiao Jing."

Li Qi's gaze towards him became much more fervent.

"Without a doubt, you are the most suitable person in the world to cultivate the Hidden Dragon Style."

"If it were you, you would surely be able to master the most perfect Hidden Dragon Style Technique."

"Cultivation techniques?" Xue Jing's eyes flickered.

I heard a new word again.

Li Qi smiled and said, "The so-called 'physique' is the physique that is gradually cultivated after practicing a complete set of martial arts styles."

"Each school of martial arts has different training methods and fighting styles, each with its own emphasis. Some are flexible and swift, while others are powerful and forceful. People who practice different martial arts will eventually develop a physique that is adapted to those martial arts."

"Just as sprinters have more developed leg muscles, the muscle structure of combat athletes is completely different from that of basketball players. This kind of physique, developed to adapt to different things, is called a martial arts body."

"For example, the Golden Wind Dojo you know. Their school is called Golden Wind White Rainbow Sword. When they master the skill, their internal structure is completely different from ordinary people. They can generate sharp, knife-like force. When they punch someone, it's like slicing someone with a knife. They can tear off a large chunk of flesh with one blow. Cutting off someone's head with a palm strike is not difficult either."

Xue Jing's eyes lit up as he listened, "Then what are the characteristics of our Hidden Dragon School's martial arts?"

Li Qi smiled and said, "The unique characteristics of our Hidden Dragon School's martial arts can be described as having them, or not having them."

Xue Jing: "Hmm?"

Li Qi said with a hint of smugness, "A hexagonal warrior, you know?"

"The core of our Hidden Dragon School's philosophy can be summarized in eight words: 'Hidden dragon within the body, nurture dragon within the heart.'"

"Once the skill is mastered, it is as if a whole true dragon is hidden in the body. It can be big or small, can rise or hide, and is agile, fast, strong, defensive, penetrating... It has everything and is all-encompassing. It has five major killing moves and three profound techniques, and can deal with all situations without any weaknesses."

He then sighed and said, "Of course, wanting everything often means being mediocre at everything. The Hidden Dragon Style has very high requirements for physical talent. People who don't have enough talent will only become mediocre if they try to cultivate the Hidden Dragon Style."

“Even your senior brothers and sisters, not everyone has enough talent. Although they also cultivate the Hidden Dragon Style, they will each find ways to change their cultivation methods and develop a different kind of cultivation technique.”

Li Qi patted Xue Jing on the shoulder and said, "Your physical talent is the best I have ever seen in my life. It is so well-balanced that it is the most suitable body for the 'hexagonal' concept of the Hidden Dragon School."

That sounds awesome...

Xue Jing said expectantly, "Please teach me, Master."

Li Qi laughed and said, "Alright, let's not delay. Today I will first teach you the static stance of the Hidden Dragon Flowing Still Stance - Hidden Dragon Technique."

He grasped Xue Jing's hand, and with a slight jerk, the force extended from his palm into Xue Jing's body, controlling his movements.

Xue Jing involuntarily spread his legs, pressed his torso to the left as far as possible, clenched his fists and brought them to his ears, and his whole body crackled and popped, his posture like a lurking dragon.

"Remember this posture, and the corresponding breathing and force that vibrate at various points in the body."

Li Qi gave instructions.

"The Hidden Dragon Technique aims to 'cultivate dragon energy' by visualizing the posture of a dragon and imitating its appearance, thereby accumulating a powerful dragon aura."

"Once you've mastered this stance, I'll teach you the 'Shaking Armor Technique' for 'training dragon power'."

Xue Jing remained silent, focusing intently on remembering all the changes inside and outside his body at that moment.

Chapter 31 Junior Brother, you scared me!

Maintaining the stance of the 'Dragon Hibernation Technique', Xue Jing remained motionless.

With each breath, countless hidden nodes inside his body are being constantly stimulated. If these nodes were connected by a line, their shape would resemble a lurking dragon.

As time went by, Xue Jing felt his body begin to feel hot, numb, and itchy, as if he were being pricked by countless needles. His blood and qi were circulating rapidly throughout his body, making a faint sound like the babbling of a stream.

Just half an hour later, he was drenched in sweat, his breath coming out of his mouth and nose, which was almost scalding hot. The nodes in his body were not only numb, itchy and hot, but also gradually felt swollen and painful.

Xue Jing's breathing became erratic, and he immediately lost the posture of the Hidden Dragon Technique, collapsing to the ground, breathing heavily, and falling into a state of oxygen deprivation as if his lungs had been squeezed dry.

[You have completed one session of the Hidden Dragon Stance Training, gaining 98 Fitness Experience Points.]

[You have completed one session of the Hidden Dragon Technique stance training, gaining 89 experience points in energy cultivation.]

Upon opening the panel and taking a look, Xue Jing was pleasantly surprised.

Just half an hour of practicing the Hidden Dragon Technique stance training can simultaneously earn you 98 fitness experience points and 89 energy circulation experience points!

It's twice as efficient as exercising directly in the gym, and you can also gain experience in energy cultivation at the same time!

"Good, good. You were able to maintain the stance for so long on your first attempt at the Hidden Dragon Technique. Just as I thought, you are very suitable for the Hidden Dragon Style."

Sitting in his wheelchair, Li Qi exclaimed with delight.

"Besides you, the one with the best physical talent among the direct disciples is your senior brother Meng Boshang. He lasted for twenty-three minutes when he first practiced the Hidden Dragon Technique standing meditation."

“You are ten centimeters longer than him… ten minutes longer.”

Xue Jing: ""

Ten what? Say it again.

"So, have you memorized all the specific steps of the Hidden Dragon Technique?"

Li Qi asked.

Xue Jing took a breath, closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then nodded.

"I've got it all. Thank you, Master."

The Hidden Dragon Technique has countless complex details. Just achieving the correct posture is difficult enough, not to mention the stimulation of the joints by circulating internal energy and blood, which is more than ten times more difficult than the posture itself. If such a complex stance training were practiced using ordinary methods, it would take an unknown amount of time to memorize it.

But Li Qi, with his superhuman strength, simply shook Xue Jing's hand and made him assume the most standard stance of the Hidden Dragon Technique, allowing him to focus on memorizing all the steps. This teaching method was simply a game-changer.

"Good, good health, and good mind too." Li Qi nodded with great satisfaction.

After resting for a while and regaining his breathing, Xue Jing asked, feeling that he had recovered:

"Master, what should I learn next?"

Li Qi shook his head and said, "One should not rush into practicing martial arts. The Hidden Dragon Technique puts a great strain on the body. People who are not talented enough will suffer a great loss of energy after standing for just a few minutes. Although you are talented, you should not over-practice in the initial stage."

"I've already asked Shan Ying to prepare some 'Sleeping Dragon Ointment'. She'll massage it on you later to help you recover, and you can continue practicing tomorrow."

Xue Jing hesitated and asked, "Should I ask Senior Sister Zhu to massage me?"

Thinking of that young-looking girl... I wonder if I hurt her yesterday.

Li Qi waved his hand and said, "She offered to help you on her own initiative."

"Shanying is a year younger than you and has a rare, pure, and innocent heart. Although she is nominally your senior sister, there are bound to be things that you need to take care of."

"Now that you've become my disciple, that child finally has a playmate of the same age as her. She'll be closer to you, so you two should get along well."

Xue Jing nodded in agreement.

"Haha, the Sleeping Dragon Ointment is here!"

As if waiting for this moment, a cheerful, childlike voice suddenly came from the door of the training room. Zhushan Ying walked in, holding a fist-sized porcelain white medicine bottle. Her young face was full of smiles, seemingly unaffected by her defeat by Xue Jing yesterday.

"Well, you young people have a good chat among yourselves. I got up early and need to go back to sleep for a bit..."

Li Qi waved his hand and wheeled himself out of the training room.

As soon as he left, Zhushan Ying turned his gaze to Xue Jing.

"Come on, junior brother, take off your shirt and sit down here."

Zhushan Ying sat down on the ground in a duck-like position, patted the floor, and gestured for Xue Jing to sit in front of her.

The girl, dressed in a form-fitting exercise uniform, with her hair tied in a bun and her bare, unadorned feet, exuded a youthful yet alluring charm in her duck-sitting pose, a pose that showcases feminine beauty.

"..."

Xue Jing felt there was something wrong, but he couldn't refuse at the moment, so he could only nod, grab the bottom edge of his t-shirt with both hands, and lift it up, exposing his perfectly sculpted upper body.

"Wow."

Takeyama Hidezan exclaimed.

"You've got quite a bit of substance, junior brother."

"You flatter me, Senior Sister Zhu." Xue Jing approached the girl, turned his back to her, and sat down cross-legged.

Soon, Xue Jing felt a pair of soft, slightly cool, smooth hands applying ointment to his back.

Wherever it was applied, there was a burning sensation, like having medicated oil applied.

In the silence, Xue Jing thought for a moment and then spoke:

"Senior sister, I'm so sorry about yesterday. Are you alright?"

Takeyama Hide paused in applying the ointment, then said with a smile, "Of course you're not injured."

"However, although I'm not physically injured, I am a little hurt emotionally."

The girl's fingers wandered over Xue Jing's back, then suddenly she pressed down hard on a spot, the force penetrating his body, causing Xue Jing to gasp in pain.

Zhu Shanying's cheerful voice rang in Xue Jing's ears, her breath as fragrant as orchids.

"Junior brother, don't let my appearance fool you, I'm actually quite competitive."

The girl twisted her finger and forcefully scraped across Xue Jing's muscles.

"Don't move. This way, the Sleeping Dragon Ointment can penetrate deep into your body for the best effect."

"..."

Xue Jing turned to look at the smiling Zhu Shanying, said nothing, and silently endured the massage, which clearly carried a hint of revenge.

Before long, the girl couldn't hold back anymore.

"...Say something, please!" the girl said coquettishly.

Xue Jing said in a low voice, "It's nothing, as long as you're happy, Senior Sister."

Takeyama Hideaki: "..."
