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

As the sun sets behind the western mountains, its last rays spill across the landscape.

That's enough practice for today.

Liu Bai stood up, holding his iron fan, and prepared to leave.

"I used to only practice stance training for health."

"From now on, I will practice stance training and leg training together to improve my health."

"By combining both, you've taken the first step in 'practicing martial arts'."

Upon hearing this, Lu Changqing stopped his cultivation and immediately smiled, "Thank you very much for your generous instruction, Young Master Liu!"

Liu Bai waved his hand: "What I promised to do is what I should do, there's nothing to thank me for."

"But in these few days, the thirty coins you gave me have all been spent."

"You'll need to pay more attention to the money later on."

He stopped in front of the courtyard gate, glanced at her, and said, "Also, you haven't left Pig Cage Village these days, so the one watching you hasn't had a chance to make a move."

"But you can't stay cooped up in this little place forever..."

"You need to practice these self-defense techniques as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Lu Changqing immediately realized that Liu Bai was referring to Wang Laizi!

"I see."

"Thank you, Young Master Liu."

Liu Bai raised his hand, turned around and left.

Looking at the closed courtyard gate, Lu Changqing took a deep breath, his eyes gradually turning cold.

There must be a hidden force behind Wang Laizi...

But this other party is my biggest problem right now...

We need to find a way; the first move is crucial!

I looked at the plus sign that appeared after my own attributes...

He probably knows the functions of attack, defense, and life.

What exactly is magic?

Why is there no plus sign?

However, he immediately put this question out of his mind.

The current consideration is where to allocate the skill points for the first time.

The three attributes are all different.

If you ask what he lacks... Lu Changqing lacks everything at this moment.

After all, he was born with a chronic illness and was in poor health.

Because he had never practiced martial arts, his legs and feet were clumsy and his body was not agile...

All three attributes are important to him.

After a moment's thought, Lu Changqing made a decision.

I'll add this hard-earned attribute point to "Health" first.

There are two reasons.

First, he has a congenital condition, and even with recent attempts to repair it using neutral Tai Chi stance, he has not been able to fully recover.

Adding some points might help him solve this problem.

Secondly, in addition to instructing him on stance training, Liu Bai has also popularized many basic skills and information related to martial arts in recent days.

As the saying goes, "Merit cannot be established without destiny, and the Way cannot exist without nature."

Physical health is absolutely the most important asset for practicing martial arts.

Therefore, Lu Changqing plans to add this amount to "life".

"call!"

He exhaled, his mind shifting slightly as he focused on the plus sign.

The next moment, Lu Changqing felt a force that was both gentle and surging, both turbulent and calm, suddenly emerge from his left chest!

Immediately afterwards, his blood seemed to become scalding hot, constantly rushing and flowing through his body.

It seeps into the whole body silently.

A moment later, the words appeared in my mind.

Life: 1 → 2

Increasing the value by one brought about a completely new change for Lu Changqing!

The most obvious thing is that the feeling of tightness and suffocation that had accompanied me since childhood, with every breath, has completely disappeared!

An unprecedented feeling of coolness spread out!

His breathing suddenly became deep and smooth!

He subconsciously touched his chest, took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled.

No cough, no dull pain, only a feeling of relief as if a heavy burden has been lifted!

The word "illness" has also disappeared!

Lu Changqing couldn't help but beam with joy!

Comfortable!

I clenched my fist, but the strength in my arm didn't seem to increase significantly.

Besides recovering from his illness, he felt that his energy and spirit had changed, and he was full of vitality...

After a moment's thought, he assumed the Tai Chi stance once again.

The difference becomes immediately apparent when practicing stance training.

The state of "movement within stillness, balance of yin and yang" that used to require deliberate effort and slow searching now arises almost naturally with a thought.

The flow of Qi and blood was incredibly smooth, and the soreness, numbness, and heaviness that would usually strike after standing for a while were greatly reduced.

Stand more steadily, for longer, and more easily.

Immediately afterwards, he took a hundred-foot-long, breathtaking stride.

As he moved, the sluggishness that had been lingering due to his physical weakness diminished considerably.

The waist and hips are more flexible, and the footwork is less strenuous, although it is still far from "stunning".

But after one rehearsal, his breathing was only slightly disordered, far from being as panting as before!

Standing in the courtyard, Lu Changqing felt as if his body had been cleansed and refreshed!

After a moment of excitement, he made another discovery...

The fatigue from the recent walking exercises and leg training has now eased considerably.

In other words, the "life" attribute is related to physical strength, energy, recovery speed, etc.

At least for now, he has only noticed these few things...

"Cool!"

In high spirits, Lu Changqing gave a soft shout.

Although it did not directly bring him a significant improvement in strength.

However, judging from the current changes, they will only bring great benefits to the future development of martial arts!

In cultivation, you'll achieve twice the results with half the effort!

"Now I understand the function of the white 'yang' side of the Tai Chi diagram!"

"Eat! Train! And you'll become even stronger on top of your martial arts foundation!"

Lu Changqing's eyes sparkled with anticipation for the future.

Imagine two martial arts masters who both practice the same technique, and their skill levels are comparable.

However, because of the existence of the Tai Chi diagram.

He added points to all the attributes multiple times!

At the same level, could the other party be his opponent?

At that time, even those at a higher level might not be able to defeat him decisively!

Thinking of this, Lu Changqing quickly walked to the side room, took the braised pork knuckle from the stove, and poured it into the rice bowl.

He took out two more dry steamed buns, broke them open, soaked them in the meat broth, peeled off a few cloves of garlic, and returned to the stone table in the courtyard.

Smelling the aroma wafting from his nose, he picked up his chopsticks and put a large piece of pork knuckle into his mouth, then quickly scooped up a piece of stale steamed bun and bit off half a clove of garlic.

The aroma of meat combined with the spiciness of garlic filled his mouth, and with each chew, Lu Changqing felt instantly satisfied!

Eat more!

Eat more and you'll become stronger!

But as Lu Changqing continued to swallow his food, he suddenly noticed that the white part of the Tai Chi diagram was filling in at a slower rate than before.

Although the white only added a slight...

But the golden finger is his hope, and it can be said that he has been observing things meticulously every day since he awakened his innate wisdom.

He could even notice these subtle changes.

He frowned slightly and pondered for a moment, then he roughly understood.

The white part of the Tai Chi symbol is related to "ingredients".

The more nourishing the food, the faster it will replenish the body.

The more nutrition, the better.

Secondly, there is martial arts training.

However, as the body changes, its nutritional needs naturally increase.

With the same ingredients as before, the effect of adding more ingredients on the body will naturally be reduced.

Having figured this out, Lu Changqing continued to eat.

At the same time, I made a decision in my heart:

Points are hard to come by, and they are definitely easier to obtain in the early stages than in the later stages.

Therefore, he should try his best not to specialize in any subject!

Be a hexagonal warrior!
