Chapter 43 Ancient Martial Arts
Chapter 43. Ancient Martial Arts
Songhe Soft Form Fist, Spirit Snake Swimming Palm...

Looking at the two somewhat quaint names, Ren Ping fell into hesitation for a moment.

I had a narrow escape from death at the police station, firstly because Long Wei came to my rescue, and secondly because I happened to practice ancient martial arts, and it was the right time.

Because of this, he finally developed a strong interest in ancient martial arts civilization and began to practice formally.

but……

All beginnings are hard!

Even if there is a system to help, if you want to succeed in cultivation, it will not be achieved overnight.

According to the records in the system, the ancient martial arts civilization was vast and boundless.

From the beginning of cultivation, each stage has a corresponding level of exercises.

And each kind of exercise is divided into internal cultivation and external practice.

Internal cultivation refers to stimulating the potential of the human body.

External training is a move to defeat the enemy.

Internal and external coordination, go hand in hand.

For example, the two types in front of me correspond to the [0, professional athlete] level.

The first type is the Songhe Soft Form Fist.

It evolved from the ancient Chinese "White Crane Boxing" and is a type of Southern Boxing.

Pay attention to lightness, swiftness, quickness, ingenuity, flexible and changeable, rigid or flexible.

The second type is the spirit snake swimming palm.

It is a variant of "Bagua Zhang".

The palm technique is still secondary, and the most important thing is the footwork.

If you can move like a spiritual snake, your palms will follow the enemy, which will help you gain an invincible position.

These two kinds of exercises have their own characteristics. After a period of practice, both of them can be improved to [0, all-around world champion] level.

Although looking from the inside, stimulating the potential of the human body is the same goal by different routes.

But the external effect seems to be very interesting...

[Exchange, Songhe Soft Fist]

After a little hesitation, Ren Ping still chose the first option.

Soon, a series of corresponding internal cultivation and external training methods emerged in my mind.

It turns out that for exercises of this level, internal cultivation is the key.

In the final analysis, it is during practice that the basic qualities of the human body such as speed, strength, endurance, nerve response, flexibility, etc. are subtly improved.

As for external training, it is a means.

When the time comes, success will come naturally.

Internal cultivation is the main thing, and external training is the supplement.

Whatever you do, focus on building the foundation, that's what it means.

"So... there is no conflict if you practice one type first and then practice another type after you have accumulated enough civilization points?"

"On the contrary, will they benefit each other?"

After thinking about this, Ren Ping suddenly became enlightened.

Calm down and immediately devote yourself to cultivation.

Fortunately, he lived in a VIP ward, where the environment was quiet and no one disturbed him.

No one will know even if Songhe puts on a funny pose of Songhe being independent and weird...

……

"Songhe Soft Form Fist,"

"Although it's just a basic skill, it's better than laying a solid foundation. It has the power to consolidate the foundation and build the foundation, so it's also broad and profound, so it shouldn't be underestimated,"

"Like other elementary skills, it is divided into five levels of practice:"

"[Movement], [Xu Ji], [Tight Chi], [Rigid and Soft], [Fang Yuan],"

"From easy to difficult is the origin of ancient martial arts civilization,"

"Move still, use stillness to stop, move and break stillness..."

"Xu Ji, that is, speed..."

"Tighten and relax..."

"Hard and soft, light and heavy according to one's heart, hard and soft combined, retractable freely..."

"If you refine the square circle to perfection, there will be a circle within the square, and there will be a square within the circle. If you turn the circle as you wish, you will be able to defeat the enemy..."

In the hospital ward, while stretching his limbs, exercising his muscles and bones, and posing in various strange poses, Ren Ping closed his eyes and focused his attention, earnestly comprehending the essence of this exercise.

Cranes, in the eyes of ordinary people, have an elegant image and a myriad of manners.

However, once integrated into the ancient martial arts civilization and added to these many changes, it became sharp, cold, and ruthless.

Just like the [Movement] in the first stage.

Silence should be as majestic as a mountain;
Move with great speed;
The evolution is in the moves, they are all sudden attacks, which can hurt the muscles and bones in the slightest, and break the limbs in severe cases.

In the past, Ren Ping would probably never learn to be kind to others.

But after the incident at the police station, improving one's own strength has inevitably been put on the agenda.

Especially gradually, the more he practiced ancient martial arts and got more information from the system, making him realize more clearly:
In this world, warriors really exist!
If you don't practice, the gap between you and others will become wider and wider.

For example, the former Ren Ping's physique was not bad, at least it was considered normal.

But compared to fourth-tier fighters like Long Wei and Li Ming, they look like disabled people!

Not to mention Long Yan, the king of fighting.

Even those mysterious warriors who are above him and stronger than him.

Sometimes, it’s knife or fish.

Just in one thought!
According to the essence of the exercises, after practicing for half an hour, Ren Ping was already sweating profusely.

Judging by his current physical fitness as a professional athlete, it can be seen that the consumption is huge.

It is not so easy to do those strange postures that have been passed down from ancient China and are said to be able to sense the heaven and the earth and achieve the unity of heaven and man.

When I was about to take a bath and take a rest, suddenly:

Boom!Boom!Boom!
There was a knock on the door.

Since the potential of the human body was stimulated, his five sense organs have become particularly keen.

As soon as I heard it, I noticed that the sound was different. It was not a female nurse who went in and out of service on weekdays.

Sure enough, when I opened the door and took a look, I couldn't help but be surprised:
"Miss Long? How did you find this place?"

The person outside the door has an exquisite figure and delicate features, it is Long Wei.

However, unlike the elegant and intellectual black bodysuit when we met last time, this time I was wearing a pale pink casual dress.

Underfoot canvas loafers.

Her short, shoulder-length hair is scattered on both sides casually without looking messy.

Eyebrows smiled.

At first glance, it looks like he is here to visit a patient.

I am recuperating in the hospital. Not many people know about this, so I am puzzled.

However, as soon as the words came out of his mouth, Ren Ping realized that he had asked a stupid question.

The woman in front of her, even the mighty fighting king Long Yan, seemed to be her subordinates or followers, which showed her deep background.

How could it be difficult for her to find out about a person's movements and trivial matters?

"What? Why don't you invite me in?"

Smiling slightly and tilting her head mischievously, Long Wei said playfully outside the door.

This sudden gentleness in American English caught Ren Ping off guard.

For a moment, my mind flickered, my chest was slightly hot, and I couldn't help it, almost giving birth to the sweet feeling that the two were in love.

Then he quickly calmed down.

"Where, please come in."

While collecting his thoughts, Ren Ping quickly invited Long Wei to come in and take a seat, and poured him a cup of tea.

At this time, Long Wei hadn't noticed his strangeness, but after entering the door, she suddenly realized that she was empty-handed, and couldn't help being a little embarrassed:

"Sorry, I rarely visit people in the hospital, so I forgot to buy something."

"You're welcome, if you don't tell me, I don't even pay attention."

Ren Ping smiled.

The embarrassing atmosphere was quickly swept away, and the distance between the two gradually narrowed invisible.

Long Wei also responded with a smile, and then explained her intentions.

She came here this time to visit.

The second is to thank Ren Ping again for informing the Twelve Hidden Flower Gods.

The third is to send a message.

Li Ming has been settled by her, she is absolutely safe, and she is always on call, so he can rest assured.

Ren Ping nodded.

About the twelve hidden flower gods, such as what is the use, or why it is so important, Long Wei never explained.

Out of politeness, he didn't ask either.

But when Li Ming was mentioned, it reminded him of something.

"By the way, I was just about to ask you, how many people like Li Ming are there in Nanling City?"

This question is a pun.

The implicit meaning is actually to ask about the current situation of warriors in Nanling City, and even other things about ancient martial civilization.

Sure enough, Long Wei is a smart person, she knows everything.

After pondering for a moment, he smiled:

"I knew you would ask, anyway, since you know everything, I don't have to hide it,"

"As you saw that day, Li Ming, including me and Long Yan, are not ordinary people. We have all practiced ancient martial arts inherited from ancient Chinese civilization, and are called warriors,"

At this time, Long Wei didn't know that Ren Ping had also practiced ancient martial arts.

After a pause, he explained carefully:
"The so-called ancient martial arts are actually not that mysterious. They just stimulate the potential of the human body and release all the hidden power in the human body..."

"Because it has been dormant for hundreds of years, ancient martial arts civilizations and warriors in various places have been out of service. It has only improved in recent years,"

"As for Nanling..."

"After all, it is the ancient capital of China with a long history. There should be quite a few warriors left. Although I haven't learned about it carefully, I can roughly estimate that there are no less than a hundred people."

"Hundreds of people?"

Ren Ping was surprised when he heard this.

For a while, I didn't know whether this number was big or small.

But when I think that there are hundreds of powerful people like Li Ming hidden in Nanling, which is as prosperous as ever on weekdays, I can't help but shudder.

"What about the strength of these people? Are they all similar to Li Ming?"

He couldn't help but said.
