EFB Chapter 10 Benefits
Chapter 10 Benefits
Chen Luo was unaware of what was happening in the backyard of the martial arts school.
If he knew, he would definitely admire Instructor Li's shrewd insight.
Because, in the past year, he has indeed relied on the word "diligence" to complete the accumulation before entering the Nine Yang Force and has forcibly practiced the Nine Yang Force to 73 points.
Subsequently, it was indeed through sheer luck that he broke through the barrier in the face of the Huan beast and mastered the Nine Yang Force.
However, if he heard Instructor Li's assessment that "one strike is the finish line," he would disagree.
He felt that nothing in the world is absolute, and the path of martial arts is probably not one that only those with extraordinary talent can take.
Otherwise, wouldn't it mean that a person's ability to cultivate martial arts is determined from birth? That would be a gross underestimation of an individual's resilience and destiny.
If your muscles and bones are weak, then find a way to strengthen them; if your comprehension is insufficient, then spend more time, year after year, to deduce and comprehend, and you will eventually find the right method.
Difficult does not mean impossible.
In short, he was not the kind of person who was stubborn. He felt that even if he was born with disadvantages and had no extraordinary encounters, he would still do everything he could to try to gain a chance in the path of martial arts.
What's more, he also had a miraculous encounter.
Back home, after a quick dinner, Chen Luo went straight to the back room and immediately activated his Vertical Pupil.
In an instant, the world froze again, and the boundary between light and darkness merged.
"Old strength not exhausted..."
Recalling his insights from the martial arts academy, Chen Luo lowered his waist and sat in a horse stance, using his internal energy to guide his strength.
After a moment of gathering momentum, he clenched his fist and unleashed a powerful strike, neither too fast nor too slow.
Just as the fist pierced the air, a burst of force suddenly erupted, then dissipated at an even faster speed, leaving only a trace that was about to dissipate.
"Synthetic Regeneration!"
He let out a low shout, and the lingering force of his fist suddenly surged forth again, blasting out with his fist and palm.
--boom.
A barely audible muffled sound came from the air.
Chen Luo withdrew his fist and couldn't help but frown.
"Compared to the evening class, the power of this punch did not seem to have increased at all, and the superposition of the double force was also slightly sluggish and not smooth enough."
Muttering to himself, he once again channeled his energy and unleashed several punches in the same manner.
—Bang bang bang.
The air was filled with muffled thuds of fist force. After the duration of the vertical pupil ended, Chen Luo chewed on the steamed bun he had prepared and summoned the progress panel.
【Nine Yang Strength (Beginner): 12/300】
The progress value of Nine Yang Strength changed from 11 to 12, an increase of only 1 point.
"During evening practice, I observed Instructor Li with the help of the subtle insight technique. Almost every complete punch I threw increased the progress value of Nine Yang Strength by 1 point."
"And now, after practicing in the same way for 25 minutes, my progress in Nine Yang Strength has only increased by 1 point in total."
"The reason for this..."
Chen Luo pondered, "It's probably because there must be something to study and understand; only by seeing the subtle details can it be effective."
This means that the ability to see the big picture from small details has its limitations.
—It can only be achieved by “seeing”, that is, by witnessing firsthand, that is, by gaining insight into the subtle details.
Without someone to learn from, and without a teacher to demonstrate in front of you, you cannot fully utilize your ability to perceive subtle signs.
Chen Luo wasn't dissatisfied with this at all.
"My efficiency in practicing martial arts in private is much higher than before."
the reason is simple.
Through observing the evening practice, he had gained a profound understanding of the operating principle of the second level of the Nine Yang Force.
Even though Instructor Li wasn't demonstrating the moves to him right now, his memory remained, and his understanding of the double force was still there.
Or rather, although he is not satisfied with the "seeing" of small details, he has "seen" and can still partially "know," but he cannot replicate the perfect state of insight he had during evening practice.
"In that case, there's no need to use the Vertical Pupil technique in private martial arts practice anymore."
Chen Luo quickly understood what he should do next.
During evening practice, I used my vertical pupils to gain insight into subtle details and practiced with Instructor Li to deepen my understanding of the Nine Yang Force.
When practicing at home, there is no need to strain your eyes. You can simply follow the understanding and insights gained from the evening practice and digest the material on your own.
—Attend classes during the day and study on your own at night.
As for the present situation...
--practice!
Without activating his vertical pupils, Chen Luo returned to his initial state, relying on his memories and understanding to unleash punch after punch.
His progress in mastering the Nine Yang Strength increased little by little with his diligent practice.
【Nine Yang Strength (Beginner): 13/300】
【Nine Yang Strength (Beginner): 14/300】
【Nine Yang Strength (Beginner): 15/300】
……
When the night was deep and quiet, and he was almost completely exhausted, he threw his last punch, the wind from the punch carrying a muffled thud of force.
"The force of this punch is approximately 400 kilograms."
"He's already at the same level as the top boxing champion from my previous life."
Chen Luo's eyes lit up with excitement; the feeling of his power constantly growing stronger was truly addictive.
Then look at the progress panel.
【Nine Yang Strength (Beginner): 17/300】
The progress of the Nine Yang Strength technique finally stopped at 17 PM.
After about two hours of intensive training, I gained a total of 6 progress points.
It wasn't as dramatic as during evening practice, but it was still much faster than the previous rate of increasing progress by a little bit per week.
Moreover, after such arduous training, Chen Luo keenly realized that the refinement of his fist power seemed to be even better than when he practiced in the evening.
Every punch, every release of power, must be handled with greater ease.
This is a state he didn't experience during evening practice.
"The reason for this..."
Chen Luo pondered, "It's probably because although seeing the big picture from small details can reveal the subtle nuances, it is ultimately a process of imitation. What I learn and understand comes entirely from Instructor Li, and I lack my own insights."
"As a result, the limitation that seeing the big picture from small details requires 'seeing' precisely forced me to add a process of verification and understanding to my imitation."
"Although this will slow down the pace of growth, it will actually make the foundation more solid."
Chen Luo couldn't help but smile. Thinking about it this way, the limitations of "seeing the big picture from small details" didn't seem to be all bad.
Just like learning calligraphy, copying the works of famous calligraphers can certainly make one improve quickly, but in the end, one can hardly escape the old ways and lose one's own style.
Only by practicing in seclusion, refining and tempering one's skills through copying, can one cultivate a unique personal style of calligraphy.
"If I maintain this pace, I can reach the second level of the Nine Yang Force in as little as a month."
Chen Luo settled his mind, but at the same time felt a wave of exhaustion wash over him.
Martial arts training should not be overdone; let's stop here for today.
He drew water from the well and took a cold shower, then prepared to go to sleep.
However, whether it was a hallucination or not, he seemed to hear a commotion coming from outside.
Unlike modern times, this world is quiet at night, and people should be asleep. Why are there voices talking?
Chen Luo pushed open the door in confusion and went out to take a look. He then saw many neighbors in twos and threes carrying lanterns, gathered by the country road, pointing and talking in a certain direction in the distance.
There were many familiar faces in the crowd, such as Huang Chen and his mother, as well as several shirtless burly men who had obviously gotten up after lying down.
No matter the world, everyone loves to watch a spectacle.
Chen Luo curiously leaned over, and without even asking what had happened, he understood what was going on just by looking at the direction of everyone's gaze.
In the distance, under the moonlight, a faint red glow could be seen at the base of the massive mountain range.
That's south of Qingshan County.
It looks like there's a fire?
