High-level martial arts: Invincibility starts with basic archery.

Chapter 26 Tai Chi Style

After about an hour or two, Chen Fan looked at the skill panel with satisfaction.

【Wuji Style: lv2 (0%), Characteristic: Strengthening Body Level 2】

[Basic Gestures: lv1 (0%)]

[Basic Leg Technique: lv1 (0%), Trait: Powerful Level 1]

Basic Footwork: lv1 (0%), Trait: Swiftness Level 1

Like the Strength trait, the Strength attribute increases by one point for each level up. The Agility trait, on the other hand, increases by one point for each level up.

The basic gesture level increased, but no special features appeared. Instead, a large, clear memory appeared in my mind. Of course, the experience points required to level up were also less; one point was enough to level up one level.

[Basic Leg Techniques] and [Basic Footwork], like [Wuji Stance], require 2 experience points to advance from level 0 to level 1.

In this way, by consuming 10 experience points, you not only gain a lot of memory, but also improve your constitution by 2 points, strength by 1 point, and agility by 1 point, which is very beneficial.

In fact, Chen Fan had another guess in his heart.

He felt that these basic skills might not have a level cap, and as long as you have enough experience points, you could keep leveling up.

Similarly, the resulting attribute boosts will likely be endless.

However, he also had a concern: the improvement brought about by raising the level of basic skills might be rather mediocre.

Just like what Uncle Zhang said about standing meditation, from Wuji stance to Taiji stance and then to San Ti stance, there is a reason for this. It is not only from easy to difficult, but the improvement should also be greater.

Therefore, he leveled up all of them, leaving the remaining 7 experience points to observe the effects.

"alright."

Just then, the limping man's voice rang out. He swept his gaze over the group of people who looked miserable, "It's not like I'm expecting you all to remember it today. I'll demonstrate it once a day from now on, and you'll have to practice along with me. You'll eventually remember it. Besides, these are the most basic things. If you can't even do these things well, you should give up the idea of ​​practicing martial arts as soon as possible."

Sure enough, these words excited everyone.

"Uncle Zhang, we will definitely remember."

"That's right, it's just a little bit of stuff, what's so rare about it?"

"It's much more interesting than reading before."

Chen Fan rolled his eyes, thinking to himself that Uncle Zhang really liked using reverse psychology...

However, Wang Ping and his group seem to love this kind of thing.

It's understandable, after all, not everyone is like him, living two lives.

"Alright, that's enough for today. You all go practice your marksmanship. Chen Fan, you stay behind."

After he finished speaking, the group left with envious expressions.

Chen Fan smiled sheepishly and said, "Uncle Zhang, are you going to teach me Tai Chi?"

Seeing this, Zhang Ren felt the other person was being obsequious and inexplicably annoyed. He snorted coldly and said, "Hmm, how did you manage to master it on your first try?"

"what?"

Chen Fan scratched his head. "I don't know either. I just have this feeling that standing like that is effortless and allows me to clear my mind, just like the feeling when I smoke."

"Smoking..."

Zhang Ren subconsciously licked his lips.

"Ahem, this has absolutely nothing to do with smoking. If you can't make a good analogy, then don't. Anyway, you have a good talent. If you study Tai Chi diligently, you can get the hang of it in a week. That's how we all did it."

"Yes."

Chen Fan nodded repeatedly, as if to say, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's get started!"

Listen carefully.

Zhang Ren's expression returned to normal. "Taiji is born from Wuji and is the mother of Yin and Yang. It means that Taiji is evolved from Wuji and is the nature of Yin and Yang. All things in the world have Yin and Yang aspects."

When discussing martial arts, it's essential to talk about stance training. Stance training is divided into static stances and dynamic stances. Only after mastering the static stances can you begin practicing the dynamic stances, which is the Tai Chi stance I'm about to teach you.

Soon, Chen Fan realized that what the other party said was indeed true.

【Tai Chi Style: lv0 (0%)】

Unlock requirement: [Wuji Stakes Lv2, already achieved]

This gave him a vague idea: could it be that the Three-Body Stance, including Tai Chi, has similar prerequisites? If you don't meet them, ordinary people can't get started. If it were him, he wouldn't be able to unlock the proficiency level.

Perhaps, that's really the case.

Next, you can start practicing. The initial movements are similar to Wuji stance. Then, you should slightly bend your knees and slowly raise your arms to form a circle in front of your chest.

After only a few minutes, Chen Fan felt his arms getting sore and he could barely keep going.

"Remember how I taught you to hold on? You can rest for one minute after every five minutes, and you can stand for a full hour." Zhang Ren glanced at him and said calmly.

Chen Fan breathed a sigh of relief and stretched his muscles after finishing his stance.

It has to be said that this Tai Chi stance is much more tiring than the Wuji stance. Wouldn't it be even more tiring when we get to the later San Ti stance?

Taking this opportunity, he glanced at the skill bar and sure enough, a new line of small text appeared.

【Tai Chi Style: lv0 (0.05%)】

"..."

He was somewhat dumbfounded.

Good grief, only 0.05% increase in five minutes? One ten-thousandth increase in proficiency per minute? To level up, I'd have to stand for 10000 minutes!

166 hours, without sleep or rest, exactly one week...

He glanced at Zhang Ren and thought to himself, "Uncle Zhang is really a ruthless person. Does he not even go to the toilet in order to practice his skills?"

"Practice slowly first. This Tai Chi posture is the starting movement for all Tai Chi routines. If you master it, you can achieve twice the results with half the effort. Don't be lazy."

After Zhang Ren finished speaking, he walked towards Wang Ping and the others.

Chen Fan gritted his teeth, looked at his back, and decided to temporarily abandon his plan to add more points.

After all, it's too fast to have mastered the basics in just five minutes. He'll add more later when he's almost there. Fortunately, his physical attributes are already beyond those of ordinary people, so a minute of rest will allow him to recover a lot.

An hour is about to pass.

Zhang Ren walked over and, seeing Chen Fan's posture, felt a slight sense of relief for some reason. He nodded and said, "Alright, that's enough for the stance training. We'll continue tomorrow."

"Yes, Uncle Zhang."

Chen Fan let out a breath; after an hour, he was exhausted.

"Take a rest for a while, and we'll continue helping you practice archery later. Archery is a bit special; if you don't practice for a day, you'll become rusty."

"Um."

Chen Fan nodded.

My current proficiency in Basic Archery is close to 60%. I can reach level 5 in the afternoon and evening. At that time, the level 3 Mounted Archery trait will provide a 90% hit rate.

If he were to encounter a wildebeest again, his first arrow wouldn't be so easy to dodge.

As for practicing stance training and fist techniques, it's to improve strength so that you can draw a heavier bow.

At this moment, his gaze fell on a figure not far away, and he asked with some curiosity, "Uncle Zhang, is Zhao Feng also planning to practice archery?"

"Hmm, maybe it was because of what you said."

Zhang Ren also looked over, "But if he can really master it, it will be a good thing for the village."

Chen Fan wholeheartedly agreed.

The stronger the others in the village are, the less pressure he feels on his shoulders.

Of course, the most important thing is to have strong personal abilities.

"Barring any unforeseen circumstances, we'll continue hunting outside the village tomorrow morning." Chen Fan narrowed his eyes slightly. He wanted to proceed step by step, conserving some strength to avoid attracting too much attention.

But every time they go out, they are struggling on the brink of life and death. One wrong move and they could lose their lives. At this time, it would be too naive to worry about whether their strength will be exposed.

Therefore, let's continue to add more points to the Tai Chi style!
