A Single Person's Infinite Wonderful Life

Early the next morning, Li Wei got up early to prepare breakfast for the girls. Since no one was watching, he could confidently use magic to cheat. In no time, a light yet substantial breakfast was ready.

After adding the preservation and temperature control spell, Li Wei began to organize the content he was going to teach.

As a proper Qi cultivator, Li Wei can easily create techniques that would be considered extraordinary in the martial arts world if placed in a regular setting. Frankly, these techniques are more than enough to lay a foundation for the girls.

However, considering that none of the girls had a proper foundation in Chinese, he also had to translate the cultivation method he created into Japanese. However, Japanese translations often failed to convey the meaning accurately, which was the most troublesome part for him.

After all, the Chinese language is the product of countless refinements. As a fully pictographic script, whether it is the modern simplified script or the scripts of different periods in ancient times, it is imbued with mystical power. For those who understand it, even if they do not possess magical powers, the power of the script itself is enough to accomplish things that seem unbelievable to ordinary people.

Because each character contains different meanings, even a vast amount of information, it took Li Wei some time to translate it into Japanese. If it were someone else, Li Wei wouldn't bother with all that; he'd simply suggest they take the Level 7 Modern Chinese exam, pass it first, and then move on to the Ancient Chinese level. Want to cultivate? Start studying first!

It took Li Wei about ten minutes to sort out his thoughts, and the breathing technique that could enable ordinary people to cultivate to the point of crossing the river on reeds was born. If such a breathing technique were to be created by an ordinary person, it would require countless "martial arts masters" to brainstorm and spend decades to complete it. However, for Li Wei, a Qi cultivator, it was a complete subversion of reality. He simply had the idea and it came to him on a whim.

Just as Li Wei had mentally simulated the great cycle of human breathing techniques hundreds of times and repeatedly confirmed that there were no problems, the time had unknowingly reached seven o'clock.

Several girls got up one after another to wash up, while Li Wei had already started training in the courtyard. As an old-style building, Chun Yuan Manor had a considerable amount of open space around it, enough to create a garden, a vegetable patch, or even a training ground. Considering that the temperature would rise quickly in the coming days, even if it were a training ground, Li Wei would add a roof and a full set of cooling equipment to prevent people from suffering from heatstroke, which is a very tormenting condition.

Haruhara Ayaka looked at Li Wei, who was shirtless and barefoot in the courtyard, wearing only a pair of athletic shorts, with a strange light in her eyes. Li Wei's muscles during his morning exercise were so muscular and energetic that they gave her a great sense of security.

As the three girls passed by the corridor, they saw Li Wei practicing boxing and couldn't help but take a second look.

Kazami Yuri exclaimed, "Wow! Brother Li Wei's muscles are even more impressive than those of movie stars! He looks just like Bruce Lee, no, Brother Li Wei's physique is much stronger than Bruce Lee's!"

Li Wei was pleased to hear Kazami Yuri's words, because although his strength surpassed Bruce Lee's, his respect for Bruce Lee, the martial arts master, was no less.

Li Wei said, "What are you all doing here? Go have breakfast first. After breakfast, rest for a while and then we'll start training."

Ayaka Haruhara asked, "Li Weijun, aren't you going to eat breakfast?"

Li Wei said, "I've already eaten and I'm just waiting for you. But don't rush to eat. Training is something that can't be rushed. The most important thing in breathing exercises is to stay calm and not have too many emotional fluctuations."

Li Wei could sense the girls' excitement, so he had to calm them down. After all, breathing exercises were not physical training techniques, and emotional excitement had a negative effect; it would be best to eliminate it.

The girls obediently went to eat breakfast. Sumire Tsukimi volunteered to wash the dishes, and then the four of them went to the courtyard. Li Wei also stopped his slow warm-up punches.

Li Wei looked at the girls, who had all changed into their sportswear, nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Very good. You all had a good rest last night and are full of energy. Not bad."

Li Wei and the others sat down in the corridor. It was quite cool because it was still early. The temperature would gradually rise after a while, which would affect the training.

Li Wei began to teach the group the rhythm of breathing, the guiding posture for sitting cross-legged, and the corresponding incantations. The group was quite aptitude, and the simplified incantations were relatively easy to understand. They memorized the incantations in about ten minutes. The most talented, Haruhara Ayaka, even began to try training in breathing techniques.

Li Wei did not stop Ayaka Haruhara from trying it, because breathing techniques are very peaceful and there is absolutely no possibility of going astray. They are safer than yoga meditation and Taoist visualization. At most, if you practice it wrong, you will not get any results, and there is no risk of getting a stitch in your side.

Li Wei only gave a few reminders, and then let the girls practice on their own to find their rhythm. Before long, the girls had found their rhythm, started to adjust their breathing, and cleared their minds.

The reason they were able to get into the zone so quickly was because Li Wei gave them a boost. For ordinary people, it would take two or three months to even get started. Finding the rhythm of breathing is not difficult, but achieving "resonance" with oneself is not easy. Without achieving "resonance," mere appearance is useless and a complete waste of time.

After the girls became absorbed in the rhythm of their breathing, Li Wei remained silent, not wanting to disturb them, and began to close his eyes and meditate, starting his own cultivation.

Chapter 4. Visit from an Old Friend

Half an hour passed before the alarm clock rang, and the four girls were jolted awake.

Kazami Yuri said incredulously, "Half an hour has passed already? I didn't feel it at all."

Li Wei said, "The first time you practiced the breathing technique, it gave you an illusion. Half an hour did indeed pass, but you just felt that time had sped up. This is just a difference in the perception of time. You will have to overcome this error in the perception of time later. Of course, since we have only just begun to practice, I will not jump directly to the later content. We will take it slowly."

Li Wei's words made Kazami Yuri put away her little thoughts. She originally thought she was exceptionally talented, but it turned out to be just her illusion, which made her a little disappointed.

Ayaka Haruhara said, "Is half an hour of training every morning enough? Doesn't martial arts require a lot of time to train?"

Sunohara Ayaka herself had also practiced Aikido. She had endured a lot of hardship at the dojo to learn this self-defense technique. It was through hard work that she was able to master this martial art in a shorter time than others.

Half an hour of practice time each day, if it's Aikido, doesn't even count as a warm-up.

Li Wei said, "I know you might be wondering what kind of exercise you can get in half an hour every day. Now try standing up, and you'll see."

Upon hearing Li Wei's words, the girls tried to stand up, and then they realized something was wrong; their physical strength had dropped drastically.

Ayaka Haruhara felt a chill on her back, and when she touched it, she realized that her back was covered in sweat.

Ayaka Haruhara said, "It felt like I had jogged for kilometers, and my muscles were even a little sore."

Li Wei said, "This is the domineering nature of the breathing technique. On the surface, it only seems to be training the heart and lungs, but in reality, it is slowly improving the cultivator's overall quality. To be honest, I didn't expect that each of you would have some talent. Although your talent is not high, you should have no problem getting started. I really didn't expect that."

Li Wei is lying through his teeth. In reality, of the four girls, only Haruhara Ayaka has the talent for cultivation. The other three are just ordinary people. If it weren't for his help, even if they had a divine skill manual, they wouldn't be able to achieve anything in their lifetime.

Of course, he still had to say the polite words, and he couldn't dampen the girls' enthusiasm. Hearing Li Wei's words, the girls were quite happy, and Li Wei was also pleased to see them like this, so he didn't intend to tell the truth. He had the ability to protect these girls and prevent them from suffering, so being a little lenient wasn't a big deal.

Time passed day by day, and Li Wei settled down in Chun Yuan Zhuang. During this time, a serious attack occurred near Chun Yuan Zhuang, but the news was quickly brought under control by the authorities. However, the people living there began to feel uneasy. The so-called "safety" of Japan began to be doubted by ordinary people, who could no longer confidently say that "Japan is a safe country."

On the tenth day of Li Wei's stay at Chunyuan Manor, which was also the third day after the three girls' long vacation began, a guest visited Chunyuan Manor.

When Ayaka Haruhara looked at the bald, burly man who was over two meters tall and as strong as an ox outside the courtyard, she felt uneasy. When the bald, burly man circled around and returned to the gate of Haruhara Manor, Ayaka Haruhara's heart jumped.

The doorbell rang, and a deep voice said, "Excuse me, is Dr. Li Wei here? Please don't be afraid, I'm here to visit the doctor."

Upon hearing this voice, Ayaka Haruhara was taken aback. The voice was deep and resonant, with a magnetic quality, and it didn't sound fierce at all. In addition, the other party's tone was very polite, so even if she wanted to find fault, she couldn't.

Li Wei was also in the room at this time. Haruhara Ayaka was not afraid and said, "Please wait a moment."

“Okay, I’m right at the door,” said the bald, thuggish man at the door.

Ayaka Haruhara found Li Wei, who was taking a nap in his room, and explained the situation, since she couldn't make the decision on this matter herself.

Li Wei said, "Sister Caihua, could you please prepare some tea and snacks? I'll take them to the living room. Where are Youzi and the others?"

Ayaka Haruhara said, "They're watching TV in the living room. Should we ask them to leave?"

Li Wei said, "There's no need. In the current environment, it's not a bad thing for them to be exposed to more social affairs. From your description, that bald guy should be a friend of mine. We haven't been in touch for quite a while. I didn't expect him to come here too."

·Requesting flowers·· ······

Li Wei left the room and went outside Chun Yuan Manor, bringing his puppet clone, the muscular monster "Reinhardt" from Germany, into the living room.

The three girls in the living room saw the bald, stern-faced, and casually dressed man next to Li Wei and silently turned off the TV.

Just as the atmosphere became a little awkward, the bald thug opened the wooden box he was carrying, took out the beautifully packaged "Old House" pastries, and said in broken Japanese, "I apologize for disturbing you, but this is just a small token of my appreciation."

The bald thug's antics left the three girls bewildered. In their eyes, someone like him was extremely dangerous, but they never expected him to be so polite. This stark contrast left them somewhat speechless.

Li Wei patted the big man's arm and said, "Sit down and talk. We're all old friends. Yuzu, Lily, Violet, let me introduce you. This is my old friend, Reinhard Norromann from Germany. He's a researcher in the field of human biology and also a modern martial artist who is an expert in the art of bones and muscles."

The three girls sat down to the side. They realized that appearances can be deceiving, and that the seemingly silly big guy in front of them was actually a highly qualified person.

Muscle Monster Reinhardt said, "Excuse me for disturbing your rest. Actually, besides visiting you, Doctor, I have another message I want to tell you."

Ayaka Haruhara came over with tea and snacks. After hearing Reinhardt's words, she put the things down and stepped aside to sit and listen.

Li Wei said, "News? I've been away from this small circle for a while now, so my information is starting to lag behind. A lot has happened during this time."

Reinhardt said, "Doctor, something big happened after you retired from the industry, and it's because of this that I came to Japan. The long-lost Qin Secret Manual has reappeared and ended up in Japan."

Li Wei raised an eyebrow, revealing a surprised expression. It was the first time the girls had ever seen Li Wei with such an expression, and they were somewhat worried.

Chapter 4. Playing the part completely.

Haruhara Ayaka asked curiously, "Li Wei-kun, what is the Qin Secret Manual? Could it be that this is what caused the chaos in Tokyo?"

Li Wei said, "Yes, this thing is a treasure, but also a scourge. The Qin Secret Manual is a collective name for three books. The three books record internal martial arts, external martial arts, and the art of emperorship. If you can fully learn the contents of the three books, you will have overwhelming power and wisdom. Many powerful emperors in European history have collected the Qin Secret Manual to some extent, but unfortunately, none of them have ever truly collected all three books and obtained perfect power. They either had enough power but lacked the art of emperorship, or they had enough wisdom but their individual strength was not enough, so they died a violent death."

Reinhardt said, "Years ago, the three secret scrolls that had never been collected in history were finally gathered, causing chaos and bloodshed in the European underworld. Later, the three scrolls disappeared, and the situation was brought under control. This time, the three scrolls have appeared in Tokyo, and now all the world's experts and forces are focused on this area. No one will stop until they obtain the secret scrolls."

Li Wei said, "Three secret manuals... It seems that Tokyo is going to become a battlefield this time. This is just a warm-up. When the secret manuals really appear, it will be the time when all the forces clash. I hope that this scourge of secret manuals can be taken away from Tokyo. I don't want to get involved in this mess."

Reinhardt said, "I didn't want to come either. I know how powerful that thing is, but my boss is obsessed with it. He wants to seize the secret book. We came here to pave the way."

Li Wei said, "That must be hard on you. Whatever the boss says goes."

Reinhardt nodded and said, "You'll get used to being a worker. Besides, my boss has been good to me. This is his only wish, so naturally I'll do my best to help him achieve it. But I also know that with our strength, we can't have the last laugh. I just hope that when I'm brought here, you, doctor, can save my life."

Hearing Reinhardt's words, the girls realized the seriousness of the problem. People living in Tokyo would be facing hostile guests, and not everyone would reason with the locals.

Li Wei said, "This is easy to handle. Anyway, I won't get involved in this mess. Whoever wants the secret manual can take it. As for those who have gotten their hands on it, which one of them in history has had a good ending? Your boss isn't afraid of death, so let him try. Let's make it clear first, I'm only saving you personally, since we have an old relationship. As for others, I won't interfere. The money will still go through the old account, you understand?"

Reinhardt said, "Doctor, I'm already incredibly grateful that you're willing to help me like this, how could I possibly bring anyone else to bother you? Besides, I wouldn't do anything to make an enemy, would I?"

Li Wei nodded and said, "That's good. I just want to live a peaceful life now, practicing my boxing every day, tending to my flowers, taking walks, and going out for a stroll. As long as no one bothers me, I don't want to cause myself any trouble."

Reinhardt smiled wryly, "To be honest, living that kind of life in Tokyo these days is quite difficult. Nobody knows what the future holds. Doctor, you should be prepared. With your abilities, various factions will want to secure a place with you for life-saving purposes. There will definitely be many people bothering you. After all, you're the kind of man who can snatch people from the jaws of death..."

Li Wei said, "They're giving me all these weird and strange assignments again. This is really bothering me."

Reinhardt stood up and said, "I'm so sorry, Doctor, I have to take my leave. I have to go back to my boss. Ordinary guards are not capable of protecting my boss in this kind of environment. Please forgive me."

After exchanging a few more words, Li Wei saw the other party out the door. Although the big guy in front of him was just his puppet clone, he still had to play his part well. The girls didn't know this, so he had to act it out properly.

Li Wei simply used the concept from the 20th-century arcade fighting game "Fatal Fury," saving himself the trouble of racking his brains to come up with a foolproof setting. SNK does a pretty good job with concept design, although the King of Fighters series is gradually overturning previous concepts.

The Secret Book of Qin is an important plot thread in "Fatal Fury" and a setting that connects all the events. However, after the Fatal Fury world was merged into the King of Fighters world, the setting of the Secret Book of Qin was gradually downplayed by SNK.

Li Wei found this setting quite interesting and suitable for the current situation, so he adopted it to find a reasonable reason for various forces to intervene in the chaos in Tokyo.

As Haruhara Ayaka watched the tall figure disappear into the distance, she said, "You really can't judge a book by its cover. He looked like a very fierce person, but I didn't expect him to be so polite. I was actually a little scared when I first saw him."

Li Wei said, "Everyone knows the saying 'don't judge a book by its cover,' but most people can't put it into practice. Reinhardt's appearance is indeed very fierce. I once learned an interesting story from chatting with him. When he was young, he worked odd jobs at an amusement park, wearing a heavy leather costume as a plush mascot. Because of his tall stature, he was very popular with the children. One day, while he was resting in a corner, he took off his mascot costume, and the children saw this. As a result, the children were terrified and cried. This incident had a huge impact on him, and he still harbors resentment about it to this day."

Haruhara Ayaka laughed, "I didn't expect Mr. Reinhardt to be so childlike. That Mr. Reinhardt, although I don't know his true strength, just standing in front of him makes my legs tremble a little. How strong is he in Li Weijun's little circle?"

Li Wei said, "He is in the first tier, but there is still a gap compared to the real top masters. Moreover, he is very unbalanced. Once someone targets his weaknesses, he can only unleash half of his full strength at most."

Chunyuan Ayaka said curiously: "Weakness?"

Li Wei said, "He put all his points into strength. Although his defense is not bad, it is still relatively weak compared to his muscles. Moreover, his biggest weakness is speed. If he encounters a high-speed, high-damage expert, he will be completely outmaneuvered."

During this time, Haruhara Ayaka has been practicing breathing techniques with Li Xiuwei, and has gained a certain understanding of martial arts. Originally, she only had a certain understanding of Aikido, after all, she herself is a practitioner of Aikido, but now, she has a certain understanding of various schools.
