61: Chapter 60 Eight Extremes

"Hmm? That's not right!"

Suddenly, Li Changsheng paused, and then immediately began another round of Baji Quan practice.

Baji Quan emphasizes: First, train raw strength like a mad demon; second, train soft movements for sealing, closing, and deflecting; third, train inch-by-inch connection, seizing, and entry/exit; fourth, train free stances like a lazy dragon lying down; fifth, train the heart, liver, gallbladder, spleen, and kidneys; sixth, train the integration of sinews, bones, skin, and flesh.

After finishing another round, heat rose from Li Changsheng's body, and his face was slightly flushed.

"How can this be? Is it because Baji Quan is an External Martial Arts style, so the practice speed is this fast? Or is it because I already have mastery of one martial arts style, allowing me to pick this up so quickly?"

Right now, Li Changsheng felt that his mastery of Baji Quan had already reached the second level of Xingyi Fist, which is the stage where one can smoothly release Integrated Force.

This was somewhat incredible. One has to know that previously, to reach Integrated Force with Xingyi Crushing Fist, he had practiced for many days and engaged in real combat for many days before he finally mastered the application of Integrated Force.

And Integrated Force almost represents Visible Power; one only needs to reach the point where the force is released as soon as the intention moves, and that is truly stepping into Visible Power.

In other words, Li Changsheng's Baji Quan was now only one step away from reaching the power-release level of Visible Power.

Open Panel

[Physical Strength: 7.2]

[Energy: 7]

[Lifespan: 190.]

"My physical fitness has increased by 0.2. This should be the result of my martial arts practice and physical training over the past few days. My Lifespan has increased quite a bit. It seems the feedback from the Internal Alchemy Meditation nearing Foundation Establishment is starting to show effects on my life."

After looking at the panel, Li Changsheng felt somewhat satisfied, yet also felt this was only natural.

After all, for an External Martial Arts style like Baji Quan, the focus is not on the extreme polishing of the body, but on the high-lethality application of the body's strength and techniques.

Various killing moves and ruthless techniques of Baji Quan began to emerge in his mind.

One has to say, Baji Quan is a martial art style purely for killing. Its fighting style highlights ruthlessness, ferocity, dominance, and unreasonableness.

"It seems that External Martial Arts are easier to pick up. Of course, the memory transfer from the System also saved me a lot of time."

Li Changsheng vaguely understood another saying: "Taiji takes ten years to step out of the door, while Baji kills people in one year."

It is not without reason that Baji can possess such lethality so quickly.

After all, Internal Martial Arts emphasize internal training of Qi, requiring a gradual, step-by-step process, but External Martial Arts don't have so many requirements; they train on how to master the most ruthless and lethal methods as quickly as possible.

"Not bad, this reward is very valuable. Not only does it include the full basic insights and applications of Baji Quan, but also some related memories of the Liuhe Spear."

That's right, besides Baji Quan, Li Changsheng had also vaguely grasped some of the techniques of the Liuhe Spear.

Baji Quan was derived from the Liuhe Spear, but the two complement each other. It can be said that most people who know a bit of Baji Quan also know a few moves of the Liuhe Spear, and vice versa.

As for the spear techniques, Li Changsheng didn't plan to practice them for now; he would practice them when it was convenient later.

"My time is still quite tight right now. My current top priorities are Baji Quan and Internal Alchemy Meditation. Baji is to quickly master a second trump card to deal with the potential assassinations that might occur next.

Internal Alchemy Meditation is about to enter the Foundation Establishment stage. Although I don't know what changes Foundation Establishment will bring, under the threat of cancer cells, I cannot take it lightly."

Calming himself, Li Changsheng decided to open his livestream room, set the title to [Just practicing casually today.], and began to practice Baji Quan.

Perhaps because he hadn't streamed for several days, the viewers in the livestream room quickly flooded in, and there was much more chatter than usual.

Zhou Qi Who Likes Reaper Cat: "The streamer is finally live! I came from Weibo. Streamer, do you really know martial arts?"

Wu Peng Who Loves Frog Meat Porridge: "Yeah, I also came from over there. Streamer, was your whole body emitting smoke at the end really not a special effect?"

Qingfeng: "I'm an old fan. Let me explain. The streamer really has true skills and is also proficient in Card Throwing techniques. However, the streamer is usually very serious when training. I hope everyone can understand this; after all, he is a hypnotic streamer."

Ancient Martial Arts Nine Heavens: "Really? I'm waiting for the streamer to show his real kung fu. I hope he's not the next Master Ma."

Pangu Clan of Fire God Valley: "I suggest everyone @ Master Ma and have Master Ma issue a public challenge to the streamer, so everyone can see who is stronger, Traditional Martial Arts versus Traditional Martial Arts! (Dog head for self-preservation)"

Zhao Huang: "Master Ma is boring. Better to find Monk Yihu. He fights in Wulin Feng and has real skills. Invite him to challenge the streamer."

Reaper Cat Zhou Qi: "Monk Yihu is a fighting star; why would he pay attention to small fry like the streamer?"

The livestream room was a mess; it was clearly the aftermath of the popularity from Weibo.

Although the livestream popularity had risen to 30,000, this popularity would clearly not last.

Li Changsheng occasionally glanced at it while practicing, but he didn't mind; debates were normal.

"I'll vindicate Traditional Martial Arts when there's a chance later. Right now, survival is more important."

Li Changsheng always kept in mind the goal of changing the current state of Traditional Martial Arts.

But wanting to change the world's perception of Traditional Martial Arts is not something that happens overnight. Just take Monk Yihu, for example; he also comes from a Traditional Martial Arts background, having learned Taiji, Wing Chun, Boxing, and other martial arts.

The early Yihu was actually quite sharp, but as his fame grew and he fought on professional rings year after year, that sharpness was gradually worn away.

Part of this was because he became famous and made money, losing some of his drive to improve. Another part was that once Traditional Martial Arts reached the professional ring, they were gradually forced to merge with professional Boxing.

Li Changsheng also thought about going to the professional ring to prove Traditional Martial Arts, but the cautionary tale of Monk Yihu let him know that a tiger cannot be kept in a cage.

For Traditional Martial Arts, the ring is a cage.

True Chinese Martial Arts are only for killing enemies, not for performance.

Once you put on gloves, it's like putting on shackles. Standing on the ring is like letting people watch you perform like a monkey.

As for how to spread Traditional Martial Arts, Li Changsheng felt he could learn from Dragon.

(The subsequent plot might involve some parts about going abroad to film movies, but that is only a small portion; the focus remains on going abroad to fight, fight, and fight.)

Dragon was previously ambushed, and Li Changsheng felt that until his kung fu reached a high level and he reached the stage of Dark Force, he could not go abroad.

It would be best to be able to ignore firearms at medium to close range; otherwise, that hellish place abroad is truly "freedom every day, shootings every day."

[Tingxu Lang Qiandie gifted the streamer a Rocket: "Streamer, give me a moderator position!"]

Catching a glimpse of this message, Li Changsheng paused.

He thought about it, and it was true; he often forgot about the viewers in the livestream room when practicing. Having a moderator to help manage things would be fine.

So, he directly gave Tingxu Lang Qiandie moderator status in the backend.

Sure enough, after getting moderator status, Tingxu Lang Qiandie banned several people who were stirring up trouble in one go.

Most of those were diverted from Weibo. Old fans were almost all used to Li Changsheng's streaming style, while among the new fans, there were quite a few who liked to run their mouths.

Of course, it was also because Li Changsheng had indeed become a bit popular in the outdoor section.

One must know that Douyu has real popularity, meaning there were truly thirty thousand people watching his stream.

Some peers were naturally jealous when they saw this, so one could see that most of these banned users were just low-level alternate accounts.
