Becoming a saint begins with apprenticing under the last martial arts champion.

time flies.

Lu Changqing was completely absorbed in the process of walking on the stakes.

One reason is that the Tai Chi diagram in his mind keeps moving in sync with his actions.

The ink-colored characters flashed and appeared frequently.

[The subject has effectively practiced Tai Chi stance, proficiency +1]

[The subject has effectively practiced Tai Chi stance, proficiency +1]

【…】

This ever-growing, unstoppable positive feedback filled Lu Changqing with immense joy.

Secondly, because...

The Tai Chi symbol is a white pattern representing "Yang".

With his stance training movements, it is filling up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Although there is still a considerable distance to go before it is fully filled.

But he was so eager to know what changes would occur once the pattern was filled in!

Especially now that we can watch it increase right before our eyes.

The sense of satisfaction from achieving a goal is truly captivating.

I don't know how much time has passed.

Lu Changqing felt a warm, large hand rest on his shoulder.

Even though it didn't use much force, it somehow restricted his movements.

"Alright, it's time to rest."

Lu Changqing snapped out of his daze and stared blankly at Liu Bai, who was standing in front of him with a meaningful expression.

"In martial arts training, the key is perseverance rather than speed."

"Being impatient for quick results will only backfire."

"Slow is fast."

After Liu Bai finished speaking, Lu Changqing finally came to his senses.

At that moment, he felt extremely sore all over, his calves began to tremble, and he had no strength left, collapsing to the ground.

My chest was burning, and I was panting heavily.

My forehead, chest, and back were covered in sweat.

So tired... my throat hurts so much... but I feel so satisfied!

Lu Changqing wanted to cough, but because he was short of breath, he couldn't cough up anything.

After practicing the walking meditation, it felt as if the body's Qi and blood had been mobilized.

The heat and coolness created a balance, making him feel as if he were immersed in warm water.

I feel incredibly comfortable!

Is this what's known as Tai Chi stance, the effect of Yin and Yang...?

Lu Changqing felt that his passion for practicing martial arts at this moment far surpassed Su Hui's memories of playing games and indulging in rich food!

First, it increases martial arts proficiency; second, it fills in the cheat code Tai Chi diagram; and third, it brings physical pleasure...

One workout, three benefits!

Is there anything more comfortable in the world than opium smoking?

But there's one thing he has to admit.

Her body is too weak...

At this moment, Lu Changqing felt dizzy. Even though he was slumped on the ground, he felt the world spinning and wanted to lie down...

"have eaten."

At that moment, Liu Bai put something into his mouth.

He took a bite, chewed it thoroughly, and it released a refreshing minty aroma, instantly clearing his previously dizzy mind.

The swirling sky and earth gradually calmed down.

As he swallowed the minty substance in his mouth, a cool sensation spread from his stomach to his limbs.

The feeling of fatigue was swept away.

A few more breaths later, Lu Changqing seemed to come back to life.

He clenched his fists, feeling full of energy.

He looked at Liu Bai, stood up with a delighted expression, and said, "Thank you for your help, Young Master Liu!"

Liu Bai waved his hand: "No need."

"This was bought with the thirty silver dollars you gave me; you spent your own money."

Immediately, he went to the side room and took out the cooked food that had been prepared in advance.

Braised pork knuckle, fried dough sticks, a few eggs, and a bottle of milk.

"Your body is weak, and while standing meditation can help, you still need to take supplements."

"Your thirty dollars should last about half a month..."

"I'll have to figure out how to make some more money in two weeks... but that's a story for another time."

"Eat quickly."

As Lu Changqing listened to Liu Bai's words, the words of his good friend Wang Hao, who had advised him back then, flashed through his mind...

The expenses of practicing martial arts are indeed like water flowing away!

He now does homework for rich kids every day, which earns him some money.

But as time goes by and his martial arts skills improve, he will definitely still not have enough to spend.

We still need to find another way to make money!

As he swallowed his food, the white "yang" side of the Tai Chi diagram in his mind was slowly filled again.

really!

The more nutritious the meat, the faster it replenishes your body!

At this rate, it won't be full in less than a month!

...

...

Ten days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Lu Changqing slowly put away his stance in the courtyard.

His legs didn't tremble; like an old tree, he steadily supported his body.

"call--"

He let out a long breath and a smile appeared on his face.

[Tai Chi Stance (Beginner, 111→574/1000)]

For the past ten days, apart from eating, drinking, sleeping, and doing homework for those young masters and ladies, he has spent the rest of his time cultivating.

It's not that he worked particularly hard.

It's not just the visual feedback from the cheat code that's amazing!

It made him fall completely in love with cultivation!

Furthermore, with the combination of stance training and a large amount of dietary supplements, his body became stronger day by day.

Although I still cough occasionally, it's a world of difference from the previous feeling of being like a sickly person.

"You can stop practicing stance training today."

Liu Bai got up from the recliner beside him. "Good progress."

"I'll teach you some more techniques today."

Upon hearing this, Lu Changqing couldn't hide his smile and immediately clasped his hands in a fist and palm salute, saying, "Thank you, Young Master Liu!"

"The progress is acceptable, and I must thank Young Master Liu for his careful guidance."

In the past few days, Liu Bai has been constantly correcting Lu Changqing's shortcomings in stance training.

It can be said to be meticulous and detailed.

This is also the main reason why he can only increase his proficiency by +1 each time he practices, but he can improve it so much in ten days.

With guidance from a renowned teacher!

Liu Bai shook his head. "You have good comprehension skills; I'm just here to assist you."

His gaze towards Lu Changqing was now filled with emotion.

After so many days of instruction.

He discovered that Lu Changqing's natural talent was indeed quite ordinary, and his cultivation progress was not fast.

But his understanding of "skill" is truly remarkable!

It was even better than he was back then.

However, on another note...

You can't tell just by looking at stance training.

Liu Bai stood up and said to Lu Changqing:

"As the saying goes, strength comes from the ground; if you have no strength in your legs, you won't be able to hit anyone hard."

"If you encounter someone with good legwork, you won't even be able to touch them."

"Therefore, there is a saying in martial arts training: first leg, then fist, and finally weapons."

"Today I'm going to teach you a leg technique called: The Hundred-Foot Startling Step."

...

...

This practice lasted from morning until dusk.

Lu Changqing lightly touched the ground with his foot and slid three steps to the side.

The strides are small, yet fast and steady.

He then twisted his waist and spun around, dodging the pebbles that Liu Bai casually tossed at him, clean and nimble, showing none of the clumsiness he had displayed when he first started practicing that morning.

Liu Bai tapped his fingers lightly on the table, a hint of approval and a thoughtful expression flashing in his eyes.

This kid has really become...

Good comprehension...

Lu Changqing stopped, his breathing slightly rapid, but his mind suddenly felt clear and open.

Just now, while he was making that movement, he felt his body become "lighter".

It's not that the weight has decreased, but rather that the previous stiffness has subsided by more than half.

Once the thought is there, the strength in your body can flow down your waist and legs, and your steps can follow!

He knew that this was far from the "walking like a startled swan, each step covering a hundred feet" that Liu Bai had described.

But for him, he had gained some confidence in dodging ordinary punches and kicks, and even in dealing with people through maneuvering and fighting!

Of course, the most important thing is...

The white part of the Tai Chi symbol, representing "Yang," is full!

Next, look at your own information.

He astutely noticed that a plus sign ("+") had appeared after the attack and defense data.

Attack: 1 (+)

Defense: 1 (+)

Life: 1 (Status, Illness) (+)

[Mana: 0]
