Dual Transmigration: American Prison, Surviving to a Fantasy Development Stage

Chapter 18: Breaking Through to the Second Level of Body Refinement

Lin Feng was jolted, and the whole world suddenly seemed different to him.

Although the flow of Qi and blood was smooth before, there was always a sense of constraint as it flowed in a predetermined channel.

At this point, the twelve meridians are connected end to end, completing the full cycle of Qi and blood, and there is no more stagnation or break in the flow of Qi and blood.

You can feel the power throughout your entire body, even in every muscle.

He officially entered the second level of body refinement, the tendon refining realm.

Compared to yesterday, although it's only a few meridians that are not open, the difference in strength is qualitative.

Reaching the second level of body refinement is a new step forward compared to before.

To verify his conjecture, Lin Feng took out a two-stone white ox horn bow and drew the bowstring.

Extremely relaxed.

The tension of the two stone bows is 120 kilograms.

If I used to be exhausted after only three pulls, now I can easily pull thirty.

This qualitative improvement allowed Lin Feng to experience for the first time what true, exhilarating pleasure meant.

Then, Lin Feng had some doubts. According to Tian Guangwen and Tian Guangyuan's memories, both of them were at the second level of Body Refinement.

But they could only barely draw two stone bows, and they would be exhausted after drawing them only twice.

Lin Feng's cultivation level is not as high as theirs, but his strength is greater.

After some thought, Lin Feng realized that the power fed back by the Black Lotus was even more miraculous, allowing his strength to be comprehensively enhanced.

The second level of body refinement is tendon training, which in urban terms means stretching.

The purpose of "tendon training" is to enhance the strength, elasticity, and fascia flexibility of tendons and ligaments, thereby achieving the effects of "for every inch the tendons grow longer, life is extended by ten years" (emphasizing flexibility), thorough power generation, and joint stability.

This tendon-strengthening exercise also consists of twelve sets of guiding movements, similar to calisthenics.

These twelve sets of guiding movements are mainly for training all the large and small tendons in the body.

According to the "Lingyuan Fist" manual, there are a total of 674 tendons in the human body, which include all the large and small tendons and ligaments in the body.

All of them are included in the twelve sets of movements.

Training your muscles and tendons is also a way to gain a better understanding of your body.

Although there are twelve sets of movements, they can be summarized into three stages, with each stage consisting of four movements.

The first stage is static stretching, the foundational stage (stretching and unblocking).

When practicing static stance training, the large tendons in the body will produce a cracking sound.

The second stage is the strengthening phase (burst integration):

Through instantaneous explosive movements (such as the Bengquan in Xingyiquan and the Dingzhou combined with Zhenjiao in Bajiquan), the joints and tendons are vibrated and trained to improve their load-bearing capacity and transmission efficiency.

Every exertion of force is a tempering of the tendon conduction network.

The third stage of special training (requires external assistance): such as grasping and squeezing heavy objects (like stone locks or jars).

The highest level of mastery is the ability to throw a 300-pound stone lock a zhang (approximately 3.3 meters) high and catch it easily.

These are all basic skills.

The arrival of disciples from the Tian family martial arts school made Lin Feng feel a sense of urgency.

Begin practicing the first set of movements.

The static stance involves standing on the edge of a rock with the soles of your feet suspended in the air and your toes supporting your entire body.

The dynamic stability of the whole body is extremely tested, requiring the coordination and support of the tendons of the major joints of the shoulder, hip, knee and ankle.

This is the essence of seeking movement within stillness. Through a specific skeletal structure, the major tendons of the whole body bear tension in a static state, which is the core exercise of "stretching tendons and pulling bones".

It's done when you can hear a slight "clunking" sound when you pull it open.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Feng focused his mind and coordinated his breathing with the breathing technique.

The sensation was like a silkworm spinning silk, slowly stretching the muscles and bones.

After an incense stick had burned, Lin Feng heard a "clucking" sound.

Lin Feng didn't expect that the first set of movements would be completed so quickly.

Then comes the second set of movements, similar to archery.

The front leg is bent, the back leg is pushed off, the arms are like hooks, and the spine is like a dragon.

This posture may appear static, but in reality, all the major muscles in the body are under subtle tension.

The whole body is like a strong bow being gradually stretched to its fullest extent, with the fascia becoming stronger and more resilient under pressure.

After getting into position, Lin Feng even took out the white ox horn bow for assistance.

After just three minutes, large beads of sweat slid down his chin.

My whole body aches and feels hot.

After persisting for about half an hour, just when Lin Feng was about to give up, he finally heard a gurgling sound.

Lin Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief; his entire body was now soaked in sweat.

The smell on his body was also very pungent.

He then stopped cultivating, focused his energy in his dantian, and stood up.

My whole body ached, but I felt incredibly refreshed.

Once his breathing had calmed down, Lin Feng filled a bucket with water and washed himself thoroughly, feeling completely refreshed.

We set off for the charity hall.

Once you reach the late stage of tendon strengthening, you can easily perform many movements without hurting yourself.

It's like doing the splits. If someone who has never trained suddenly does it, they don't know if the enemy will be okay, but they will definitely be injured.

On his way to the charity hall, Lin Feng made a special trip to the cattle and horse market.

Looking around, they found the hunter who had reported Zhao Erniu.

At the hunter's feet was a deer and several rabbits. Many people inquired about the price, but no deal was made.

Lin Feng pretended to walk by casually and looked down at the deer.

"What's the price?"

"This deer costs 15 taels."

"Too expensive"

"If you really buy it, I'll throw in a wild rabbit as a bonus."

Lin Feng waved his hand and turned to leave.

He has confirmed that this person is the one who reported Zhao Erniu.

Like most hunters, this man would enter the city in the morning and leave after selling his prey.

If you haven't sold out, you leave when the city gates close in the afternoon.

There was no opportunity for the city to take action to resolve this potential problem.

The only option is to block him outside the city.

With this in mind, Lin Feng first went to the charity hall to make sure there was nothing wrong, and then left the city.

They found a secluded spot outside the city and waited.

Time flies, and before we knew it, it was afternoon.

Just as Lin Feng was getting impatient, he finally saw the hunter.

Looking around, Lin Feng noticed that there were still quite a few pedestrians on the official road.

It's not appropriate to take action here.

She found a straw hat to wear and covered her short hair.

Continue along the official road.

They just walked very slowly.

After a cup of tea, the hunter's figure surpassed Lin Feng's.

Perhaps having sold all his prey, the hunter was in a good mood, humming a tune as he walked.

When we reached a fork in the road, not only were there fewer people, but the slope was also steep, which blocked our view.

Lin Feng knew his opportunity had arrived.

He glanced over and noticed the person behind him.

At this point, the distance to the hunter was about 30 paces, within Lin Feng's effective and accurate shooting range, so he was still confident of success.

Lin Feng took out the white ox horn bow from his spatial storage, took a deep breath, and strained his arms. The bow, made of hardwood and sinew, made of horn, made a teeth-grinding "creak" sound as it was drawn to its full length.

Aim, without hesitation, release the three fingers that were holding the bowstring, and the bowstring bounces back with a dull thud like a drumbeat.

With a flash, the arrow pierced the hunter's back, penetrating several inches deep.

The sudden, immense force caused the hunter to stagger a few steps, and since it was downhill, he fell directly to the ground.

The hunter died without understanding who wanted to kill him.

The power of the two-stone bow was still very great.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lin Feng immediately chased after him, drawing his bow and shooting arrows as he ran.

The arrow struck the hunter directly in the back of the neck.

Lin Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief after both arrows hit their mark.

The black lotus quickly ran to the corpse, and the moment it touched the hunter's body, it devoured it.

Seeing the bloodstains on the ground, Lin Feng used an iron shovel to shovel away the blood-stained yellow soil, leaving no trace.
