73: Chapter 73 Special Effects: "Dance of Lightning"

Chapter 73: Special Effect " Dance of Lightning "

Early morning.

Jiangbin Park.

Fang Cheng was shirtless, his legs apart, striking a horse stance.

This was Stance Training he learned from Ma Jianguo yesterday, said to be an introductory Cultivation Technique for building a Foundation.

There was a saying in traditional martial arts: " Before learning to punch, stand on the stakes for three years. "

This referred to the many benefits of practicing Stance Training, which could not only stretch the muscles and bones, but also help activate Qi and blood, and increase physical strength.

[ Writing up to here, I hope readers remember our domain name, chasing Taiwan novel Divine Artifact k n . c o m, read anytime ]

Among all Stance Training, the horse stance was the simplest, easiest to learn, and most common technique.

Of course.

Common did not mean crude or low-level; it precisely demonstrated that its effects were extremely good and its functions numerous, which was why it was sought after and widely circulated.

In addition to exercising the muscles, bones, Qi, and blood, practicing the horse stance also had immediate effects on actual combat.

For example, when exchanging blows with someone, only by having your feet rooted and your stance stable could you fully display your techniques while preventing others from easily shaking you.

" Contain the chest and Pull-up the back, lift the crown of the head... "

" When practicing to the unity of waist and horse, your feet can be like roots, and your explosive force like a thunderbolt... "

Fang Cheng recited the formula silently, constantly adjusting his posture while carefully sensing the changes in his bodily state.

For him, who frequently practiced the Squat, holding a horse stance for a while was not a difficult task.

The key was to experience the subtle feeling of Qi and blood surging as mentioned by Ma Jianguo.

When he first started practicing, he was still in a relatively relaxed state.

As time slowly prolonged, his legs gradually began to swell, heat up, and ache with numbness.

With the help of this method of realizing pain, Fang Cheng vaguely found a hint of Qi surging upward from the soles of his feet and abdomen.

The Squat and the horse stance could be said to belong to the two sides of motion and stillness.

If according to "Human Movement Mechanics" that Fang Cheng read from the library.

Holding a horse stance belonged to a kind of static training, which could exercise deeper small muscle groups, tendons, and ligaments that were not easily involved in ordinary exercise.

It was also conducive to improving joint stability and played a preventive role against various sports injuries.

At this moment, as the gradually brightening light pierced through the morning mist and shone on his rosy face,

one could clearly see crystal-clear condensed droplets of sweat shimmering, slightly evaporating into white water vapor.

Fang Cheng contained his chest and pulled up his back, his waist sank, and his legs were rooted there like an old tree.

Listening intently with a settled mind, faint " creaking " sounds could vaguely be heard from various joints.

This was a sign that the muscles and bones of his legs were being stretched open, and also a precursor that his physical stamina was approaching its limit.

Holding a horse stance looked simple, but in reality it was the most arduous and tested patience the most.

To reap results, the only secret method was the " forebearance formula ".

The longer he persisted each time, the more obvious the effect, and it was also a means for a Martial Artist to temper their Heart-Nature and hone their will.

The east was about to dawn, and red clouds gradually dyed the sky.

Figures around were sparse, and various scenes became clearer and clearer.

" Purr — — "

Fang Cheng focused his gaze and mind, exhaling and voicing out.

His entire shoulders and body trembled slightly, and an elusive sound came from his abdominal cavity as he exhaled.

This was the Breathing Technique taught by Ma Jianguo — — " Tiger-Leopard Thunder Sound ".

In the eyes of Martial Artists practicing internal martial arts, this sound, which was like a tiger purring and like distant thunder, was extraordinary, revered as the highest martial arts Profound Truth.

They believed that this sound was extremely deep, capable of penetrating to the extremities of the whole body, and was the result of originating from the Dantian and generating internal breath vibration.

Therefore, this resonance phenomenon could be used to exercise the muscles, bones, skin, membranes, and internal organs, while also healing internal injuries sustained when practicing and tempering the body.

However, the specific practice method had always been a Martial Forest legend, understandable only through intuition and indescribable in words, and no one had ever verified it in practice.

The Cultivation Technique in Ma Jianguo's hands, whether passed down from his ancestors or obtained from elsewhere, had very complete cultivation steps.

Ordinary people had never heard the purring sound of tigers and leopards.

But cats, as the Ancestral Master of felines, were very common animals.

Ma Jianguo simply had Fang Cheng hold his family's lazy fat orange cat and stroke it carefully to feel it.

For his first practice, Fang Cheng did not pursue immediate initiation; being able to have some comprehension was already enough.

As a breath of foul air was exhaled, he successfully dispersed the technique.

Fang Cheng shook his arms and shoulders, and kicked his legs.

Strong winds whistled into existence.

He only felt that when his legs exerted force, they were more retractable and flexible, just like being equipped with springs.

Looking at the red sun sticking out half its face from between the high-rise buildings, he estimated the time.

This horse stance practice lasted for at least 1 hour.

[ Congratulations, through diligent practice of your skills, you have gained initial comprehension and successfully mastered a fitness-category skill ]

[ Unlocked skill: Stance Training lv0 (0/100) ]

The panel light flickered, and a prompt message surfaced before his eyes.

" Eh, isn't it Qigong? "

Seeing this, Fang Cheng could not help letting out a soft grunt.

Beyond his surprise, he saw the two words " fitness ".

Then he nodded slightly, understanding that the nature of this skill was actually similar to the Squat and Push-up.

The Qigong practice methods taught by Ma Jianguo included various Stance Training, Breathing Technique, Tai Chi routines, and a recipe book on how to treat illnesses with food.

Among them, Stance Training was the practice method, the Breathing Technique and recipe were the nourishing methods, and Tai Chi belonged to the fighting method.

It was said that after entering the door of practicing Qigong, there was also a very special Visualization Technique.

However, Ma Jianguo said Fang Cheng was still at the Foundation-building stage, and coming into contact with it too early would do more harm than good.

Therefore, he had not seen it yet.

[ No error, one head, one issue, one internal, one content, one at, look one by one! ]

After moving his limbs, Fang Cheng turned to look at the other gains from today's morning exercise.

[ Focus Exp + 4 ]

[ Sanda Exp + 4 ]

[ Muay Thai Exp + 5 ]

[ Jiu-Jitsu Exp + 10 ]

[ Push-up Exp + 12 ]

[ Squat Exp + 13 ]

[ Leg Raise Exp + 15 ]

[ Pull-up Exp + 15 ]

[ Back Bridge Exp + 10 ]

[ Handstand Push-up Exp + 15 ]

...

In order to make room for Stance Training practice, Fang Cheng appropriately reduced the training volume for Shadow Boxing and other items.

Today's morning exercise also focused more on the soon-to-upgrade Sanda skill, concentrating on practicing various Kicking Techniques.

Therefore, he successfully upgraded it to Great Master level.

[ Sanda lv2 (0/500) ]

Fang Cheng's gaze swept across the panel, looking at the two enhancement reward directions that had not been chosen before.

[ Enhancement One: Free Attribute 8 points ]

[ Enhancement Two: Skill Special Effect, Dance of Lightning ]

Making a decision now, he chose the second item.

[ When using Kicking Techniques, each time a target is hit, own movement speed increases by 60%, which can be continuously stacked on targets within a five-meter range around oneself, with an upper limit of 10 attack counts, exceeding the distance will cause it to expire ]

As the name implied, this special effect meant that he could kick continuously 10 times in an extremely short period.

It seemed to have little increase to basic attributes, but the further it went, the more the speed stacked, possibly becoming as fast as teleportation.

It was simply a divine skill for group battles!

Fang Cheng figured that in the future, he would inevitably encounter group beating situations similar to the one-versus-many in the night market back then.

After possessing this skill special effect,

even if the opponent had a large group of people, they probably wouldn't be able to react in time and would all lie flat instantly.

While thinking, a burst of noisy human voices came from around.

Fang Cheng glanced at the old men coming from afar to practice health preservation boxing, then turned and left the park.

Today's training end time was slightly later than usual, so he had to act a bit more briskly.

...

Ayang Bathroom.

Having finished his bath, Fang Cheng greeted the neighborhood aunties, carried the bag filled with clothes, and walked onto the street.

As usual, he came to his frequent breakfast stall and bought steamed buns and soy milk.

On the way home, he thought about today's sparring class arrangement.

Suddenly, he caught sight of a thin and frail girl's figure near a large black trash can not far away.

She was leaning over the rim of the can, seemingly searching for discarded beverage cans and cardboard boxes.

Because she wasn't tall enough, she tried hard on tiptoe, her small hands frantically digging inside.

Amidst the blowing cold wind, her body swayed back and forth, appearing somewhat unsteady.

Fang Cheng stopped in his steps, casting his gaze over.
