From breaking the limits of archery to achieving martial arts godhood

Inside the wooden box was a slightly yellowed book with four large characters written on the cover: Dragon Elephant Stance Kung Fu.

"A stance training method?"

"That's right, it's a stance training exercise."

"Take it back and you'll see."

Luo Qiufeng said with a smile.

Chen Xun glanced at Luo Qiufeng, then at the [Dragon Elephant Stance Technique] in the wooden box.

In the end, he accepted the stance training.

"I'd like to see what you're up to."

Chen Xun left with the wooden box.

Watching Chen Xun's retreating figure, Luo Qiufeng smiled smugly.

"The bait has been laid out; I don't believe you won't bite."

It should be noted that the "Dragon Elephant Stance Technique" is both difficult to learn and difficult to master.

Even after more than a decade of honing his skills, he had only barely grasped the basics and hadn't even reached the proficient level.

This will not help improve his strength at all.

Even so, this stance training technique is still precious, and if it were released, it would attract a lot of powerful martial artists to fight over it.

Carrying the wooden box, Chen Xun walked hurriedly through Chen Family Fort.

Suddenly, he saw a group of martial artists gathered together. Judging from their clothes, they were martial artists from the Chen family's guard team.

The Chen family guards were dressed in black, with a white "Chen" character embroidered on the back.

The Chen family patrol team wore blue uniforms with a black "Chen" character embroidered on the back.

Among the group of martial artists, Chen Xun saw Chen Hu and his brother, Chen Long, the number one expert in the Chen family.

The two brothers stood together, talking about something, their expressions somewhat solemn.

Chen Xun stood on the periphery and looked around, but instead of going over, he left directly.

This clearly indicates that something has happened. Although Chen Xun has joined the guard team, he is not a formal member yet, so he does not need to participate.

Moreover, Chen Xun doesn't want to get involved right now; he just wants to cultivate quietly.

Soon Chen Xun left Chen Family Fort and returned home.

The first thing I did when I got home was to boil water.

Just like making a blood-activating medicinal soup, pour the blood-nourishing powder into boiling water to get a bowl of blood-nourishing medicinal soup.

While the water was boiling, Chen Xun took the book out of the wooden box and began to read it.

The book is very thin, with only a dozen or so pages.

The first page introduces the origin of this standing meditation exercise.

After just one glance, Chen Xun's pupils contracted and his breathing became rapid.

It turns out that this [Dragon Elephant Stance Technique] actually originated from a high-grade Yellow Rank technique called [Dragon Elephant Innate Technique].

Based on the above description, if one can cultivate the [Dragon Elephant Innate Skill] to the highest level, one can unlock the Dragon Elephant Divine Treasury, obtain the blessing of the Dragon Elephant, and possess a trace of Dragon Elephant power.

The legendary dragon and elephant possess the power to move mountains and fill seas.

Therefore, even a mere trace of power is terrifying to Chen Xun.

"Naluo Qiufeng, you're being far too generous, giving away such a good thing so readily."

Chen Xun did not continue flipping through the pages, but instead pondered Luo Qiufeng's intention in giving him this skill.

He said that this achievement was largely due to that stroke of luck.

"From this perspective, that opportunity is very likely the complete version of the Innate Dragon Elephant Skill."

"He knows the location of the Innate Dragon Elephant Technique, but he doesn't go to retrieve it himself, which means that the place must be very dangerous."

"He's investing in me, trying to help me improve my strength as quickly as possible. He's also tempting me; if I want the complete Innate Dragon Elephant Technique, I'll have to make a deal with him."

Based on the information available to him, Chen Xun could only deduce this much.

"In the end, it all comes down to a lack of strength."

Chen Xun sighed, then quickly cheered up: "Since my strength is insufficient, I will work hard to cultivate."

Then, he began to look through the contents of the "Dragon Elephant Stance Exercise".

Compared to the Bull Demon Stance Technique, the Dragon Elephant Stance Technique is much more complex.

Moreover, the Dragon Elephant Stance Exercise has three stages.

These are the Giant Elephant Stake, the Heavenly Dragon Stake, and the Dragon Elephant Stake.

The Giant Elephant Stake corresponds to the Qi and Blood, and the Bone Forging Realm; the Heavenly Dragon Stake corresponds to the Blood Exchange Realm; and the Dragon Elephant Stake corresponds to the Concealment Realm.

If one's physical fitness is not up to standard, it is impossible to practice the Heavenly Dragon Stance and Dragon Elephant Stance later on.

These two stages of stance training are extremely demanding on the body's strength and flexibility; attempting them lightly will only lead to injury.

Chen Xun only tried one of the movements of the Heavenly Dragon Stance out of curiosity before he immediately stopped, grimacing and rubbing his waist.

If he hadn't given up and had continued trying, he might have twisted his back.

"Indeed, we still need to be down-to-earth."

With a sigh, Chen Xun fixed his gaze solely on the Giant Elephant Stake, no longer looking at the Heavenly Dragon and Dragon Elephant Stakes.

The Elephant Stance requires practitioners to emulate the steady, solid, and stable characteristics of an elephant when standing in a stance. Its core focuses on cultivating Qi, strengthening the foundation, improving physical strength, and concentrating the mind.

Imagine yourself as a steadfast giant elephant, your limbs rooted to the earth like stone pillars, your body as stable as a mountain, feeling the earth's support and your own weight.

Compared to the standard of the movements, the Giant Elephant Stance places more emphasis on the form and meaning.

When one can condense even a trace of the essence of the elephant, one can be considered to have entered the path.

Otherwise, no matter how perfect the movements are, it will be difficult to get started.

After entering the basics, one needs to cultivate and strengthen this trace of elephant-like form and intention in order to elevate the level of the giant elephant stance.

Until the very end, the form unexpectedly appears, and the person standing there gives the impression of a giant elephant reaching to the sky and standing on the ground, which is the perfect state of the Giant Elephant Stance.

Therefore, it can be seen that only martial arts geniuses can cultivate this stance training to a high level.

Most people might get stuck at the beginner level for months.

But for Chen Xun, the first hurdle was very simple.

Because in his memory, he once transformed into a giant bull demon, wreaking havoc in all directions.

The similarity between the Bull Demon and the Giant Elephant lies in the fact that they are both incredibly huge, extremely strong, and physically powerful beings.

Therefore, after Chen Xun became familiar with the movements of the giant elephant stake, he imagined himself as a giant elephant standing on the desolate land.

In his previous life, he had seen real elephants in a zoo and combined that image with the enormous size of the Bull Demon.

The next moment, the image of an ancient giant elephant, exuding a rustic and wild aura and standing on mountains, appeared in Chen Xun's mind.

Then, Chen Xun channeled his consciousness into it, transforming into a giant elephant and beginning to walk through the mountains.

With each step he took, a mountain range was flattened by his enormous elephant feet.

Gradually, Chen Xun's body began to rise and fall, and the frequency of those rises and falls was clearly in sync with the giant elephant in Chen Xun's consciousness.

Chen Xun became so engrossed in the story that he even ignored the words that floated past his eyes.

Chen Xun didn't know how much time had passed, but he felt a surge of intense fatigue, and then he woke up.

What's wrong with me?

I feel so tired.

Chen Xun shook his head.

Then he felt a sudden hunger in his stomach.

He hadn't felt this hunger for a long time.

"By the way, I was practicing the Giant Elephant Stance just now."

"Could it be that I've mastered the basics of the giant elephant stance?"

So he quickly checked the "Martial Arts Diligence Record" and sure enough, he found the record of the Giant Elephant Stake there.

【Dragon Elephant Stance Exercise - Giant Elephant (Beginner Level 12%)】

"This isn't just getting the basics right, it's progressed so much faster!"

Chen Xun looked surprised.

But he didn't have time to think much before rushing to the kitchen to start a fire and cook; he was starving.

While cooking, he felt a large mass of qi and blood energy gathering within his body.

It was clearly formed during the practice of the Giant Elephant Stake.

By circulating his breathing techniques, Chen Xun condensed this energy into qi and blood, strengthening his body.

If Chen Xun had taken the medicinal soup and continued his cultivation, he wouldn't have been in this situation where he was about to starve to death.

After quickly cooking a large pot of rice and stir-frying a large plate of smoked meat, Chen Xun wolfed it down, finally suppressing the hunger that wanted to devour everything.

While digesting his food, Chen Xun looked at his progress in practicing the Giant Elephant Stance and couldn't help but laugh, "It's not that difficult!"

Soon, a wave of sleepiness washed over me.

Chen Xun was completely unable to resist. He yawned, then lay down on the dining table and fell fast asleep.
