20: Want to find bugs, start to observe humans crazily

Han Lie arrived at the school's training ground. No matter when he came, he would always see a group of people practicing Pile Stance there.

He briefly scanned the area and surprisingly found a familiar face: Zhao Ye, the director of the academic affairs office who had verified his grades, was also practicing Pile Stance here.

Many people gathered around, as Pile Stance is a profound discipline, and everyone hoped to learn something from the teacher.

Han Lie walked over.

"Han Lie is here!"

As soon as he approached, people around him immediately made way. Although a week had passed, the black horse's prestige remained undiminished.

Although his image in the class was not ideal, the top students didn't have time to gossip. Everyone was unaware that Han Lie was a so-called black horse who only liked to eat junk food and was poor in other aspects.

Han Lie focused his gaze.

["Hun Yuan Pile (Mastery): Hun Yuan Pile is an ancient boxing technique, originating from the Xingyi Quan in traditional martial arts, serving as its foundational health-preserving Pile Stance.

It primarily emphasizes relaxation and naturalness. Practitioners are sincerely advised to 'maintain normalcy, do not be curious.' Pile Stance is a holistic exercise where form, intent, qi, and strength are interconnected, mutually restraining, and adjusting the balance of yin and yang.......

A large number of entries instantly appeared before his eyes. After reading them, Han Lie sighed. The entries were real, but what good were they to him?

If a native of this world had just stepped into the martial path and lacked martial arts knowledge, such an entry would indeed be a decent golden finger.

However, the martial path in this world had developed for thousands of years, long becoming as mature as could be.

Just this Hun Yuan Pile alone, Old Ge, the homeroom teacher, could elaborate on it, with thousands of words more than these entries.

In other words, it was useless.

What he needed were those 'bugged' entries, simple exercise methods that could temper the body like Pile Stance, just by walking, running, or lying in bed.

"Oh, right!"

Han Lie seemed to have discovered the crucial point. If he wanted to find a shortcut for practicing Pile Stance, he shouldn't come to such a formal place.

So, what is Pile Stance related to?

He had previously discovered that the bug in his entries wasn't entirely without a trace. For example, the Mighty Bull Essence Blood he consumed, the real-world item was beef tendon, and there was a tiny connection between the two.

Other items also followed this pattern. This meant that if he wanted to find a bugged entry for Pile Stance, it would be best to start from basic attributes like 'external stillness and internal movement,' 'leisure and health preservation,' 'body tempering,' etc., and then push them to the extreme of commonality.

What could it be?

"What is Student Han Lie thinking about?"

Zhao Ye spoke from beside him. He had been observing Han Lie for a while and, seeing him frown and then relax, thought he had some confusion about practicing Pile Stance.

"Ah... nothing!"

Han Lie smiled, thinking to himself that when it came to Pile Stance, the teacher was quite authoritative, but when it came to not doing one's proper job, it had to be him, the transmigrator.

"Teacher, you're busy, I'll be going first!"

"Huh?"

Everyone around him was surprised. They had wanted to see Han Lie's level of Pile Stance, but he was leaving after just a few words. He was truly being mysterious.

As he left, a voice spoke up.

"I heard Han Lie's Pile Stance is terrible!"

"No way?"

"Why not? His former classmates told me that when he practiced Pile Stance in the regular class, he was always among the first to rest!"

"Oh my... then maybe Old Ge is giving him special lessons. Old Ge really understands Pile Stance, so maybe he's made rapid progress recently!"

"It's not that easy?"

"That's true... So he saw there were many people here and slipped away for fear of showing his weakness?"

"Definitely!"

...............

Afterward, Han Lie wandered around the school for a whole morning, observing other students engaging in various sports. Whether it was volleyball, basketball, football, or the more niche badminton and table tennis, he observed them all, but no entries were triggered.

He wasted another class period trying to contort Cui Dazhi's body into all sorts of desired shapes, but still didn't trigger the desired entries. Instead, he was regarded as mentally ill by teachers and classmates.

Then he spent an entire afternoon racking his brain, trying to sleep in various strange positions, but still without any effect.

Thus, a whole day passed.

The progress remained the same.

"Damn it!"

Han Lie felt his blood surging. He had wasted a whole day for nothing. The Martial Exam was less than three months away, and wasting time was equivalent to wasting life.

Returning home in the evening,

After a simple meal, he went out and began observing people, especially focusing on observing elderly men and women.

Tai Chi, square dancing...

He watched them all, one by one, until night fell, but he couldn't make sense of anything, only noticing that the relationships between a few elderly men and women seemed a bit unusual.

"To hell with it!"

Helplessly, he went to the park to observe human activities under the night sky. Good heavens, he didn't know until he observed, and when he did, he was startled. People with vigorous qi and blood seemed to have more intense urges in that regard, and their desires seemed stronger.

This small park,

It was really lively.

Han Lie was like a giant rock, smashing the calm surface of the water, creating huge ripples.

....Aside from almost getting beaten up, he still didn't observe anything useful.

But it was also a good thing; for such a two-person activity, Han Lie currently couldn't find a partner.

...........

The next day,

Han Lie directly took a leave of absence. He wanted to spend an entire day exploring and observing. On this day, he engaged in various sports, various health-preserving activities, various leisure and entertainment pursuits...

And then, there was no 'then.'

Aside from being utterly exhausted, he was still utterly exhausted. Whether it was skiing, mountain climbing, swimming, or watching movies, riding motorcycles, soaking in hot springs... none of it worked.

Not a single entry was triggered.

"........."

"Han Lie, why didn't you come today?"

At night, Cui Dazhi sent a message.

"...Something came up!"

"Are you coming tomorrow then? If you're not, I'll take tomorrow off too!"

"Tomorrow..."

Han Lie thought for a moment. Continuing this exploration was like searching for a needle in a haystack. Perhaps he should just break through to become a martial artist. If he was a little weaker than others, so be it.

Anyway, he didn't spend money on food, so absorbing it a bit slower didn't matter.

Maybe...

Pile Stance itself didn't have a bugged entry. This was very possible. He couldn't keep wasting time on this.

After some thought, Han Lie replied:

"I'll go tomorrow!"

He put down his phone and looked up.

"Still going?"

Han Lie asked himself and his wallet. In the end, he gritted his teeth, considering it a small reward for his body after being exhausted.

He strode inside.
