161: Budo Gymnastics Version 2.0...

Ten minutes later, a set of Martial Arts Calisthenics was completed.

Martial Arts Calisthenics also became the first Cultivation Technique that Yang Dian truly mastered without relying on energy, only on himself.

Glancing at the first trait that only required 3 energy points to manifest, Yang Dian looked at the three pairs of eyes in front of him.

Little Orca was lying on the ground, Yang Lele was sitting cross-legged on Little Orca's head, and Little Black Cat was sitting upright on Yang Lele's head.

Pacing to stand before the three little ones, Yang Dian extended his hand and tapped each of their heads—one fish, one human, one cat:

"What are you looking at? Go play."

"Woo~"

"Meow~"

"Brother, why are you doing calisthenics?"

Reaching out to grab Little Black Cat from Yang Lele's head, Yang Dian then lightly jumped onto Little Orca's head:

"Little Orca, take me to play in the water for a bit."

"Woo~~~"

Little Orca let out a joyful cry, flapped its two wings, and, carrying Yang Dian, plunged headfirst into the pool.

Dudu timely extended several tentacles to wrap around Yang Lele, helping her stabilize her body.

In addition, it extended two more tentacles to wrap around Yang Lele's and Little Black Cat's heads, ensuring they could open their eyes and breathe normally underwater.

Initially, Yang Lele was a bit flustered when brought into the water, but after realizing she was firmly fixed on Little Orca's back and could open her eyes freely and breathe perfectly underwater, she began to grab Yang Dian's hand and shake it wildly.

Her excitement was evident.

Little Black Cat, however, extended its claws and tightly gripped Yang Dian's clothes:

"Human, this isn't fun at all..."

...After playing wildly with Little Orca for a while, Yang Dian had Little Orca take the three of them ashore.

Then, while drying Little Black Cat with his Qi and blood, and feeding fresh salmon to Little Orca, he answered Yang Lele's previous question:

"What I just did was 《The First Set of National Martial Arts Exercises for Primary and Secondary School Students》, created by the organization for ordinary people to practice martial arts."

"When you start school, you'll have to learn this too."

"Ah? I have to learn it too?" Yang Lele's face fell:

"Can I not practice it? Morning exercises are so ugly."

Reaching out to pat Yang Lele's head, Yang Dian realized that his family might have spoiled her a bit.

"Do you think I'm discussing this with you?"

"And 'so ugly'."

"Let me tell you, unless you can master the Heaven and Man Unity Skill and sense Qi and blood, entering the Martial Arts class that the school is preparing to open."

"Otherwise, you absolutely must practice this Martial Arts Calisthenics!"

Yang Lele hugged her head and squatted down:

"I'll practice, I'll practice, but stop hitting my head."

"When Queen Lele becomes a Martial Arts Grandmaster, she will definitely take revenge tenfold, a hundredfold, for all the grievances she suffered!"

"Alright, alright," Yang Dian chuckled as he fed Little Orca:

"Then I'll wait for Queen Lele to become a Martial Arts Grandmaster and then take revenge tenfold, a hundredfold, for the humiliation she's experiencing now..."

...Yang Dian stayed in Orca Pavilion and played with Little Orca for quite a while before leaving, which was considered compensation for its grievance of being pecked by the Hawk.

Although by the time they left, the wound from the pecking had already disappeared.

Sitting in the ride-sharing car on the way home, a tired Yang Lele hugged Little Black Cat weakly:

"Brother, can I still go play with Little Orca in the future?"

"How big will Little Orca grow in the future?"

"Will it turn into a Kun, as written in 'Carefree Journey'?"

"The Kun is so vast, its size unknown for thousands of miles, too big for one pot."

As she spoke, her eyes began to gleam again:

"If it really gets that big, then riding Little Orca out will be so cool!"

"Brother, I've decided, I don't like dinosaurs anymore, I'll only love Little Orca from now on!"

"Buy me a few sets of orca pajamas with wings!"

Saying that, she hugged Yang Dian's arm again:

"Buy me, buy me, buy me..."

"I can't do anything with you."

"Yay! I knew you love me the most, Brother."

The driver in front, seeing the interaction between Yang Dian and Yang Lele, couldn't help but show envy:

"You two siblings have such a good relationship, unlike my two at home; either the older one hits the younger one, or the older one bullies the younger one."

Yang Lele raised her hand upon hearing this, indicating she had something to say:

"My brother has also been bullying me since I was little..."

...Returning home amidst laughter, Yang Lele glanced at the sky and exclaimed, then ran upstairs two steps at a time.

Her summer homework was not yet finished.

Little Black Cat was held in Yang Dian's arms, its tail hooked around Yang Dian's wrist, and it raised its round head to look at Yang Dian.

The meaning in its eyes was self-evident: it wanted to lick catnip.

Yang Dian stroked it twice:

"It's almost dinner time. You can lick catnip after dinner."

"Human, you're not allowed to lie to me."

"When have I ever lied to you?"

Scratching Little Black Cat's chin, Yang Dian then took it to the backyard, placed it on the windowsill, and then began to perform Martial Arts Calisthenics in the open space.

Yang Dian had a premonition that even without energy, he could manifest the first trait of Martial Arts Calisthenics in a short time.

And it was as he thought.

Ten minutes later.

As he completed a set of Martial Arts Calisthenics without a red face or gasping for breath, an intuition stemming from his body's instinct surged from within him.

'The first trait has manifested.'

With a thought, the panel unfolded.

As he expected, a trait, 'Fist Follows Intent', had appeared next to Martial Arts Calisthenics.

He threw a punch, then shook his head.

The trait 'Fist Follows Intent' was completely covered by the Hun Yuan Strength.

After achieving Major Achievement in Hun Yuan Strength, he could perfectly control every inch of his strength, which was far stronger than 'Fist Follows Intent'.

'One can only say it's similar to Grass Tread Flight's first trait, 'Swift as Wind', and has almost no effect on me now.'

'That's right, if Dudu hadn't elevated my Physique, the energy required to manifest the first trait of Martial Arts Calisthenics should have been 15 points, just one point lower than Grass Tread Flight.'

'The two were inherently similar.'

Thinking this, Yang Dian once again assumed a stance and began to perform Martial Arts Calisthenics, pose by pose.

However, compared to the previous two casual attempts, this time he was more serious.

What effect each Move had, which muscle groups it could mobilize, and how it could stimulate cells to gather energy and derive Qi and blood strength through instinctive reactions... By the time he completed Martial Arts Calisthenics once more, a flash of insight arose in Yang Dian's mind.

"So that's how it is?"

He murmured, then began to demonstrate Martial Arts Calisthenics again.

Traces of energy flowed between his cells with each Move, eventually transforming through some mysterious process into faint, almost imperceptible traces of Qi and blood, merging into the torrent of Qi and blood within Yang Dian's body.

"Using Moves to drive muscle groups, and using muscle group movement to trigger an instinctive reaction in Life Qi, converting energy into Qi and blood."

"As long as one is proficient enough in Martial Arts Calisthenics, one can sense the birth of Qi and blood during its practice, which is to perceive Qi and blood and step into the Dao of martial arts."

Martial Arts Calisthenics' second trait: Qi and Blood Self-Generation.

'As expected of the foundational Cultivation Technique that the organization prepared for over 10 years to promote widespread martial arts practice.'

'Even with my cheat, I can't find any flaws in it!'

'However, becoming the instructor for 1.4 billion imperial guards is not without opportunity.'

'For example, improving the quality of Martial Arts Calisthenics, making a 2.0 version...'
