Chapter 104 Getting Stronger (II)
“You must have gotten injections to improve your physique, right? Otherwise, there's no way you could recover so quickly.”
Li Cheng颐 didn't say anything. The recovery speed of the Radiance Force Field was indeed impressive. Before, when he injured the corner of his eye, the wound completely disappeared overnight, without even a scar.
Training here was the same; all damage was completely repaired overnight.
“There really aren’t many people like you nowadays who are willing to endure hardships and practice traditional combat and fighting.” Yu Long sighed.
“No matter what your reason, what your cause, what your motivation is for coming here to learn, I've seen your perseverance and persistence.”
“Your previous performance has given me a rough estimate of you. Originally, I only intended to have you roughly master the entire set, just enough to prevent the Dragon Whisker Force from being lost. But now it seems that you might really have a chance to completely master this technique.”
Yu Long seemed to have become serious because of Li Cheng颐's performance.
“Master Long, the reason I’m learning boxing is because I encountered a powerful opponent with superb fighting skills. With similar physical qualities, I was completely suppressed by him,” Li Cheng颐 said solemnly.
“That's normal.” Yu Long smiled. “Those who have truly practiced fighting to the top even have super-strong danger perception abilities and can avoid or deal with threats before they even happen.”
“Sometimes I have this feeling too, but what is the principle behind this perception ability? I wonder if Master Long knows?” Li Cheng頤 nodded in agreement.
Several times when cornered, he had this feeling. Even though he didn't understand certain things, he could feel his whole body tingle with danger and avoid it in advance.
“This is the treasure buried in the subconscious,” Yu Long replied. “Since ancient times, we humans, generation after generation, have relied on primitive tools and skills to fight against various giant beasts and ferocious creatures, encountering various dangers and disasters. Our consciousness has long deeply imprinted many experienced dangers in the deepest part of our minds.”
“You may not know what you are facing, but your subconscious, the deepest part of your genes, the hidden information, will quietly remind you and tell you that it is very dangerous.”
Yu Long sighed.
“This treasure contains many fixed impressions, and we cannot blindly obey them. We need to use reason to observe and distinguish. We’ll talk about this later. There are now many theoretical studies in psychology and biological genetics, and you can buy some to read when you have time.”
“Today, let's really understand what Dragon Whisker Force is, what benefits it will bring you after you master it, and what the current situation of my Dragon Whisker Sect is.”
“Master Long, please speak,” Li Cheng頤 nodded seriously.
Yu Long put down the milk tea and placed it on a small wooden table on the side.
“First, let’s talk about the one thing you want to know most: what kind of gains you can get after mastering it.”
Yu Long smiled, rubbing his hands together.
“Dragon Whisker Force is essentially a type of Qi. The so-called Qi is the term for the flowing of power. It is not a real airflow, but a flow of power. Letting power flow freely in the body like an airflow, that is Qi.”
“Isn’t that the same as ordinary exercise?” Li Cheng颐 frowned.
“Don't worry.” Yu Long raised his eyebrows. “Qi is divided into two types: Gang Qi (Hard Qi) and Rou Qi (Soft Qi). Gang Qi has a simple name in modern sports science called explosive power. Rou Qi is called buffering force.”
“These two types of Qi have their own uses, and you need to master them all. Moreover, different traditional fighting schools have different emphases on Gang and Rou Qi.”
After Li Cheng颐 understood and digested it, he said again.
“Dragon Whisker Force, as the name suggests, is to first gather power like silk threads to one point on the body, and then strike with the fierce force of a dragon.”
“This is not so much a move as it is a realm, a skill.”
“Once you successfully master it, you can use Dragon Whisker Force in many places. For example, when I taught in the military region back then, it was the same. Gathering the countless strands of power in the body to one point and striking out in the form of a dragon, which is the most vigorous way. Few people can match such explosive power.”
“The principle is very simple.” Li Cheng頤 understood instantly.
“Yes, a very simple principle. But human potential is strong, and it is not easy to do this.” Yu Long nodded.
“My Dragon Whisker Sect now has three students including you, of course, not counting those who quit voluntarily.”
Speaking of this, he was faintly sentimental.
“Times are different, and learning this can’t support a family. Actually, I understand and empathize.”
Before Li Cheng颐 could comfort him, he quickly regained his senses and continued.
“Of these three students, one is in Bai Xing (White Star), whereabouts unknown. The other is in this country, serving in the military. You may have a chance to meet him in the future.”
“To continue what I was saying, Dragon Whisker Force is divided into four stages: Qi, Li, Xu, and Long.”
“First, learn to make the Qi in your body flow, feel the Qi, and master the Qi. This is the foundation.”
“Then, transform the Qi into usable force.”
“Then, transform the force into strands of whiskers and determine the point of convergence.”
“Finally, achieve the form of a dragon.”
“It doesn’t sound difficult.” Li Cheng颐 nodded knowingly.
“The principle is simple, the key is how small and fine you can condense the Qi.” Yu Long smiled.
“The smaller the unit area, the greater the pressure with the same force, and the stronger the damage. Even elementary school students know this, right?”
“…What if I wear an alloy needle tip on my hand? Or gauntlets with spikes?” Li Cheng頤 said quickly.
“It’s different.” Yu Long shook his head. “The Dragon Form is a legendary realm. If you can really reach it, your whole person will undergo a transformation from the inside out. Secondary development, or even multiple developments, eliminating all useless genes, useless structures, and useless cells. Only leaving the strongest flesh and blood, and then using it as the basis to re-divide, evolve, and replace the whole body!”
“That kind of realm… in ancient times, it was the level called Buddha or Zhen Jun. In the West, it is also called the level of a saint.” As Yu Long spoke, he also yearned for it.
“Sounds very strong.” Li Cheng頤 felt that this pie was drawn big enough.
“Nonsense, if it wasn’t strong, would I be able to go to the army as an instructor? I’ve only had a dozen strengthening injections in my life, but I still overpowered those who had hundreds of injections. What do you think I relied on?” Yu Long laughed.
He gently clapped his two fat hands.
“Okay, if you master the Dragon Form, you can achieve the highest peak data of drug effectiveness with any strengthening drug. It’s no problem to fight a cyborg hand-to-hand. Facing a Fei Yi (Flying Instrument), they won’t be able to hit you at all, and you can beat up anyone below the professional level at close range.”
“What about above the professional level?” Li Cheng頤 asked.
“You can try if you want to die. At that level, the biological force field surrounds you, and you can’t even break their defense. What are you going to fight with? It depends on what you have in your hand.” Yu Long glared at him.
“Now it’s a modern society, a technological society. You have to believe in science. No matter how good you are at fighting, can you dodge a Mach 10 Fei Yi rushing over? The sonic boom alone can blow you away, hehe.”
“The nerve reaction speed is only so much, and the human body is naturally incapable. It’s not our fault,” Li Cheng頤 retorted.
“You know that much?” Yu Long walked forward and stood in the center of the training ground.
“Okay, I’ll demonstrate the Qi of the Dragon Whisker Force for you. It’s called Dragon Whisker Qi, and it has a majority of Gang Qi and a minority of Rou Qi. You’ll know about the force exertion method in the future. Now let’s look at the effect first.”
He raised his foot, did a somersault, soared into the air, landed, and tapped the ground heavily with his right leg.
*Bang.*
His sole landed, instantly smashing the cement, with debris and dust flying everywhere.
“I only used a hundred pounds of force with this kick.”
Yu Long’s round body bounced on the ground like a ball before he steadied himself and stood up.
“Did you see that?” He beckoned to Li Cheng頤.
Li Cheng頤 walked closer and looked at the ground with him.
He saw that there was an exploding pit the size of a bowl on the ground.
“The force uses a point to break the surface. If it’s sharp enough, it can be like a needle, first penetrating the opponent’s interior, and then exploding instantly.”
Yu Long revealed a hint of complacency.
“This is the powerful power of my Dragon Whisker Force. Ordinary people can use their legs to exert a hundred pounds of force, but why can’t they achieve the same effect as me?”
“Awesome!” This time, Li Cheng頤's eyes really lit up, and he applauded sincerely.
He instantly thought, if he wore the Flower Scale Armor and used such skills…
The destructive power would be terrifying!
“It is precisely because of this style of instantaneous penetration and then fierce explosion that in the traditional fighting world, our school’s skills are very suitable for assassination. This is also the reason why I was able to teach in the military.” Yu Long said triumphantly.
Just after this explosion, his forehead was already slightly sweaty.
He took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat, and suddenly felt a little sad again.
“Actually, I don’t have much talent and can only rely on strengthening injections to barely maintain appearances. If it were my master, who is also your grandmaster, he practiced the Golden Snake Skill, and my Dragon Whisker Force was created by borrowing from this skill.”
He is truly amazing… He once infinitely approached the final Dragon Form realm.
Becoming a true dragon was his greatest wish in life, but unfortunately, he later joined the army and fought in Bai Xing, dying in an air-to-ground bombing ambush."
“Alright, anyway, I’m old now, and my only wish is to prevent the practice method of this Dragon Whisker Force from being lost. The more I pass it on, the better. You should work hard. If you accidentally master it, maybe you can show off and brag about it in the future, right?”
“Don’t make that expression. Your boss had a whole set of recovery and physiotherapy equipment shipped over for you. You can lie down on it after you finish training. It costs 500,000 to use it once. It's top-notch stuff.” Yu Long laughed.
“…My boss is really great!” Li Cheng頤 exclaimed sincerely.
“That’s right, those who know you know he’s your boss, but those who don’t know would think he’s your dad. No one else would be so generous.” Yu Long shook his head.
“Okay, let’s start with the first step, mastering Rou Qi.”
He took out a printed document from his pocket.
“This is Rou Lian (Soft Practice). When you feel the force in your body start to flow smoothly, it will be considered that you have initially mastered Rou Qi. It’s very simple, you can try it.”
He handed the document to Li Cheng頤.
Li Cheng頤 took the document. The cover had two large characters printed on it: Rou Qi.
The brownish-yellow background was a bit like feces, and there was a faint smell of glue.
With a rustle, he opened the first page.
‘Lesson One.’
‘Cohabiting with Nine Thousand Earth Dragons.’”
There was also a picture attached below.
Li Cheng頤 only glanced at it, and his face instantly turned green.
