Chapter 32 Mastery of Fist Technique, Internal Qi Doubles!

After each nursing competition, the list of those promoted and those who failed would be displayed in the courtyard for everyone to see.

In the promotion list, the prefix for "Li Xian" changed from [Ding] to [Bing].

This signified that he had become a Class C guard, which was no longer considered low-ranking even among guards.

There were more than 300 guards of the Ding class, most of whom were between 20 and 40 years old.

However, once you reach the Class C nursing academy, the number of staff is reduced to just over forty. Not only are the benefits good, but when you are sent on missions, you are also at the squad leader level and can get more benefits.

"You have already mastered two fist techniques. With this promotion, you can choose a basic martial art. I suggest you choose 'leg techniques'."

Li Xian always kept to himself in the manor. Despite his advancement in rank, he had no one to share his joy with. Instead, he took a copy of the "Qingfeng Leg Technique" and returned to his small dwelling.

Pang Long's words flashed through my mind.

This leg technique was recommended by Pang Long, who at the time even said:

“A martial artist will have strengths and weaknesses, but that’s for the old folks. As a beginner, you should try more things out and not limit yourself too early.”

"Choosing another martial art can help you learn by analogy and quickly master the basics, but it's ultimately just icing on the cake."

"Switching to leg techniques may be difficult in the initial stages, but the benefits will be even greater."

Li Xian thought it made a lot of sense.

Although this "Qingfeng Leg" is a basic martial art, it has its own unique features.

Practicing this not only strengthens leg techniques and lower body, but also significantly improves foot strength!

"I am now a Class C nurse."

"The patrol time has been reduced, while the rest time has increased. The number of patrols has been reduced from seven to four per day. This adds up to three hours."

"With plenty of time, it's just right to learn another martial art!"

After briefly reviewing the Qingfeng Leg technique and getting a general idea of ​​it, Li Xian didn't rush to practice it immediately.

First, go to the vegetarian restaurant and have a "Category C meal" to enjoy the benefits of a Category C guard.

"Old... Immortal Li, congratulations."

Upon hearing the news of Li Xian's advancement, Wang Chungang unexpectedly ran into her in front of the vegetarian restaurant. He looked embarrassed as he greeted her.

"Yeah, it was just luck." Li Xian nodded.

Wang Chun lowered his head and walked around to meet up with Zhao Han, Zhuo Yilie, and others.

The three of them were whispering amongst themselves, their conversation unclear. Li Xian merely glanced at them indifferently and didn't join in.

"In this village... from top to bottom, it's all about cannibalism."

“The three of them used to hate and resent me. Now that I’ve been promoted to Grade C, they don’t resent me as much anymore.”

Li Xian could clearly sense the change in attitude. This wasn't just from Zhao Han and his two companions, but also from numerous lower-ranking guards.

The Class C meal includes beef and mutton, which are very juicy and good for replenishing qi and blood.

Today's meal consists of three meat dishes and two vegetable dishes. Martial artists expend a lot of energy and blood during their training, so meat is essential.

After eating and drinking my fill, I felt full of energy.

...

The next day.

Li Xian began to practice the Qingfeng Leg technique. The first step was to imitate the leg manual like a cat trying to draw a tiger.

As shown in the leg technique, first take a large iron basin and fill it with water. Tie large stone bricks to your feet and step on the edge of the iron basin.

Keeping your waist still, use the force of your ankles to rotate the iron basin, creating a gentle whirlpool in the water.

The whirlpool isn't better the bigger it is; in fact, the smaller the better. Once you can spin the iron basin rapidly without creating a whirlpool in the water, you can begin practicing how to extend your legs.

"After mastering the Lesser Form of the Gentle Breeze Leg, the legs are like a gentle breeze, able to leave no trace on grass and kick people without causing injury, but the damage can penetrate through the skin and reach deep inside."

"I don't know when I'll be able to reach the 'Eating Essence' realm that Commander Pang revealed. But this clay body is already much stronger than before."

Among the many guards, many of their martial arts techniques overlap.

Take the Qingfeng Leg technique, for example; over twenty of the guards at the Ding level know it. However, most of them are only at the beginner to expert level.

As long as you master the basic martial arts to the "minor success" level, you will almost always be able to enter the third rank sooner or later, because the guard competition is held once a month.

Sometimes, with slightly weaker opponents and a bit more luck, you can get promoted. As long as you're willing to put in the time to work your way up.

"Commander Pang said... Anyone who is diligent and self-disciplined can become a Class C guard. But a Class B guard requires some talent."

"Martial artists seek a complete transformation, washing away their old ways. But the process is not easy. Before the age of twenty-seven or twenty-eight, if they cannot accumulate internal energy to the point of 'circulating the Qi throughout the body'..."

"If the internal energy cannot nourish the body, the blood and energy will begin to dissipate from the gaps. This will lead to a decline in bodily functions."

"Reaching the 'Essence Consumption' realm is even more impossible."

"But what is meant by the circulation of Qi throughout the body? Is it the accumulation of internal Qi to a certain degree?"

Li Xianping cleared his mind of distractions and focused on training his legs.

Two hours passed in a flash, and with a "plop," Li Xian fell out of the iron basin. Water splashed out, soaking his clothes.

Li Xian got angry too, and took off her shirt. She stood in the iron basin again, using the twisting force of her ankles to gradually make the basin spin. As it spun, the vortex grew larger and larger, becoming increasingly difficult to control.

Failure seemed imminent.

Li Xian suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "When I was carrying water before, I knew how to exert force to eliminate the splashing of water inside the bucket and save energy."

"Do they work on the same principle? I might as well give it a try, since my clothes are already wet anyway."

He then applied the technique of "lifting water" to his Qingfeng Leg. It worked; the whirlpool gradually shrank and eventually disappeared completely.

[You have mastered the method of practicing the Qingfeng Leg Technique.]

[Qingfeng Leg]

[Proficiency: 1/500 Beginner]

As Li Xian received the message that his destiny would reward his diligence, he paused, a sense of accomplishment rising within him.

[Skill: Weeding], [Skill: Water Carrying], [Skill: Running], [Skill: Consuming Food], [Raging Bull Fist], [Four Directions Fist]...

Now, another style has been added: [Qingfeng Leg].

"I will master all the martial arts I have acquired to their fullest extent!"

"Shouldn't that allow me to find a place to live in this world? I won't have to live under someone else's roof."

"No matter how good a guard is, he is still a servant. What others can give, they can also take away. Only what is yours is unshakeable!"

Li Xian thought to himself.

...

The nursing competition was usually held at the end of the month, and two days after the competition, it was already the beginning of October.

That day.

Li Xianzheng was practicing boxing.

Although the Qingfeng Leg technique has become a new favorite, the Sifang Fist technique has not fallen out of favor.

With a punch thrown, his body trembled slightly. A flush of red and a warm current emanated from within him, continuously flowing from his limbs and bones.

The sensation surged throughout Li Xian's body, making her breath hot, and white mist enveloped her entire face.

[Four Directions Fist]

[Proficiency: 1/5000 Mastery]

[Description: With mastery of the fist technique, Qi flows throughout the body, making the body feel like a furnace, bringing immeasurable benefits. Through repeated punches, you achieve mastery of the fist, gradually grasping the essence of the Four Directions Fist and witnessing the initial stage of the fist technique...]

A surge of heat coursed through his body's dantian, surging relentlessly. Suddenly, the scene before him changed, and he saw a blurry figure.

This is the beginning of this boxing style. Who created this style, and why?

This is a great opportunity. The initial scene often points directly to the true meaning of the boxing technique, surpassing any teacher's instruction!

Judging from her figure, she should be a woman…

The woman stretched out her slender fingers and casually gestured in the air. She drew a line to the left, then to the right, and then up and down.

Then, with a flick of his sleeve, it was over.

Li Xian was stunned. He had heard Pang Long mention that the Four Directions Fist was created by "Madam". The figure in the scene should undoubtedly be Madam.

Such casual gestures... and you can create a set of boxing techniques?

That's a bit too astonishing, like something out of a celestial being.

Lost in thought, I was suddenly startled by a cold gust of wind.

Coming to my senses, I focused my mind and felt the energy in my dantian triple!
