After the family split up, I achieved martial arts sainthood.

really!

The same principles can be applied to stance training.

Seeing the changes on the panel, Gu Xin's face lit up with joy.

Following this pattern, sooner or later, one can fuse together a gold-grade cultivation technique that directly leads to the Divine Treasury Realm.

That was a feat that would amaze generations.

However, such a scene is still far away, and it is unrealistic to yearn for it too early.

Gu Xin composed himself, suppressed his longing, and began to experience the profound mystery of the new stance training.

It was then discovered that the new Youyue Zhuang Gong, like the previous one, combined the advantages of Zouma Zhuang Gong and Panshi Zhuang Gong.

It combines the agility of the "Walking Horse Stance" with the stability of the "Stone Stance".

Finding a balance between movement and stillness allows the new stance training to possess both flexibility and stability.

Its form is like a galloping horse, its spirit like a rock.

Having grasped these points, Gu Xin understood why all cultivators aspire to cultivate high-quality techniques.

The higher the quality of the technique, the more obvious its advantages.

The more rigorous the logic, the more ingenious the reasoning.

After practicing, it becomes easier to grasp the true meaning of martial arts, and thus easier to reach a higher realm.

Of course, the higher the quality of the cultivation technique, the more difficult it is to practice.

The principle is the same.

The more rigorous the logic and the more ingenious the reasoning, the more intelligent the understanding and the more outstanding the innate talent required.

If one lacks comprehension and innate talent, practicing high-quality techniques will actually be less effective.

The same principle applies to reading.

The difference in the quality of practice methods is like the difference between university-level and elementary school-level topics.

The difference between a top student and a poor student lies in their aptitude and innate talent.

High school students who are academically weak can understand elementary school problems, but struggle to understand university-level problems.

High school students who excel can not only understand elementary school topics, but they are also capable of understanding university-level topics.

Those with exceptional talent, often described as being blessed by God, can discover the secrets of the art even before enrolling in school.

Gu Xin once saw a video on Douyin (TikTok) of a kid who hadn't even started school yet, who discovered the pattern of prime numbers.

Gu Xin shook his head with a sigh, banishing his distracting thoughts and refocusing his attention on the control panel.

Seeing the words "can be deduced" appear after the new stance training, Gu Xin immediately began to deduce it.

"All in! Perform the Yue Zhuang Gong (a martial arts technique)!"

You have mastered the new stance training method, Youyue Stance Training...

After three years of dedicated practice, you have gained a clear understanding of the Youyue Zhuang Gong (游岳桩功): you have made some progress.

Cultivation experience: 41 years

[After ten years of dedicated practice, your understanding of Youyue Zhuang Gong has reached a new level: consummate skill]

Cultivation experience: 31 years

[After thirty years, you have fully comprehended the profound mysteries of the Youyue Zhuang Gong.]

[Youyue Stance Exercise: Reaching the Pinnacle]

Cultivation experience: 1 years

As the text in front of you changes, the attribute panel changes accordingly.

Gu Xin's internal energy and blood also underwent significant changes.

When Gu Xin reached the pinnacle of the Youyue Zhuang Gong, his Qi and blood were enhanced again, improving significantly.

One's bones, tendons, internal organs, and skin all undergo a qualitative change.

It became solid, as hard as a mountain.

His blood and energy surged, making him even more vigorous.

If you listen carefully, you can clearly hear the sound of blood flowing.

Like a gurgling spring.

Gu Xin moved his fingers and felt that his palms and fingers were stronger.

It's as if a casual flick of the wrist could shatter a child's skull.

"My strength is now greater than before, increased by at least 50%."

After feeling his own power, Gu Xin couldn't hide his excitement: "If I were to spar with my third senior brother again, I would be absolutely confident that I could defeat him head-on."

His abundant sense of power gave him great confidence.

"Have you heard? Something big happened in the city today."

"Huh? What's the big deal?"

"Zhou's Martial Arts School has declared that they will challenge Zhenwei Martial Arts School and Biaoma Martial Arts School today."

"What? Zhou's Martial Arts School is challenging Zhenwei Martial Arts School and Biaoma Martial Arts School? What's going on? Haven't the three major martial arts schools in Qingyuan County always kept to themselves?"

"Who knows? It just happened pretty suddenly. It's all over town now, and all the gambling dens of the Qinglin Gang have already opened betting odds, with payouts of 1 to 50."

"Wow! The odds are that high?"

"How could it not be high? Master Zhou is a martial arts graduate, and his disciples are all sons of wealthy families in the inner city. Not only do great teachers produce great students, but he also has the money for medicinal baths and tempering. How can those peasants from Zhenwei Martial Arts School and Biaoma Martial Arts School compare to him?"

Just as Gu Xin was marveling at his increased power, a cacophony of voices arose outside the carriage.

Ok?

Does the Qinglin Gang look down on Zhenwei Martial Arts School so much?

Hearing the commotion outside the car, Gu Xin frowned slightly.

With odds of 1 to 50, the higher the difference in odds, the less the bookmaker favors the losing side.

From the discussions among the crowds along the street, it's not hard to discern which is superior, Zhenwei Martial Arts School or Zhou's Martial Arts School.

"Master, go to the nearest gambling den!"

After a moment's hesitation, Gu Xin lifted the carriage curtain and beckoned the coachman to change course and head to the gambling den.

Since the Qinglin Gang was so eager to offer him money, he had no reason to refuse.

Gu Xin gave a soft snort; he still had one hundred taels of silver on him.

If he bets everything, with odds of 1 to 50, he could win... 5,000 taels?

hiss!

Just thinking about that amount made Gu Xin gasp.

This amount of money was something he had never dared to dream of before.

If he wins, he'll become a tycoon in no time.

If you buy a foot warmer every day, you can buy one for a whole year.

Several thousand taels of silver is not a small sum, even for the four major clans in the inner city.

"Spending so much money to create momentum, the four major clans' schemes seem to be quite complex."

Gu Xin chuckled mockingly, recognizing at a glance who was behind this betting scheme.

Without the authorization of the four major clans, how could the Qinglin Gang dare to publicize this competition so recklessly?

"Young master, we've arrived at the gambling den!"

The coachman's reminder interrupted Gu Xin's thoughts.

"Wait a moment, I'll be right back."

Gu Xin gave some instructions and then headed straight for the gambling den.

"I'm betting one hundred taels on Zhenwei Martial Arts School to win!"

Upon arriving at the betting station, Gu Xin immediately took out his money bag and bet on his own martial arts school without hesitation.

"Wow! A hundred taels to buy Zhenwei Martial Arts School? Is this guy an idiot?"

"The higher the odds, the greater the gap between the two sides. With odds of 1 to 50, Zhenwei Martial Arts School has less than a 10% chance of winning."

"This guy looks so young, he's definitely a greenhorn, no wonder he's so stupid. He's probably just gambling on the high odds."

"Haha, if he gambles like that, even a huge fortune will be lost..."

The gambling den was crowded with people, all of whom were utterly astonished by Gu Xin's generous and forthright demeanor.

After realizing what had happened, many people looked at Gu Xin with a mocking gaze, as if he were an idiot.

The clerks in charge of registering the money quickly put away their purses upon witnessing this scene.

Without even counting them, I threw them directly into the cabinet drawer.

Then he quickly sketched and signed a warrant, handing it to Gu Xin.

This action clearly indicated that he was afraid Gu Xin would change his mind.

"Young master, please take care!"

The waiter even had a wide smile on his face, unable to hide his obsequiousness.

Are they trying to take advantage of me?

Gu Xin smiled slightly, showing no embarrassment or anger. He put away the warrant, humming a little tune as he walked away.
