Shen Qian hurriedly came out of the room. After hesitating for a moment, Shen Qian went to the Buddhist hall first.

Ji Ruoshui sat on the futon with her back to Chen Qian, chanting incantations as she recited Taoist scriptures.

Her long, flowing hair was piled on top of her head, her fair neck was exposed, and she sat there wrapped in a Taoist robe. The morning sunlight shone through the cracks in the window, casting a pale golden hue on her.

Peaceful and serene.

For some reason, this very cliché word flashed through Shen Qian's mind.

After standing silently for a while, Shen Qian spoke softly, "Eighth Senior Sister, thank you for the peach porridge."

Ji Ruoshui did not react, as if she was already immersed in the world of the scriptures.

Seeing this, Shen Qian stopped disturbing them and silently turned and left.

Not long after Shen Qian turned and left, Ji Ruoshui's upright posture slumped slightly, and a long, faint exhale echoed in the Buddhist hall.

...

Shen Qian originally wanted to go to the school's physical fitness testing center, but then he thought that the college entrance examination was tomorrow, and No. 7 Middle School, as one of the test centers for liberal arts, must have been closed. So he had to go to Kyushu Martial Arts Hall instead.

He urgently needed to verify his current strength, and... some conjectures about the chaotic energy.

Upon entering the Diamond Training Room of the Kyushu Martial Arts Hall, Shen Qian first activated the "Do Not Disturb" button to prevent Xiao Xuan from knocking on the door again, and then quickly went to the simulator.

The budokan simulator is a simplified version with no levels to complete, but it's sufficient for testing your skills.

After putting on the helmet and waiting for the simulator's detector to connect to his spinal nerves, a "Liu Changqing" quickly appeared in front of him.

Before throwing a punch, Chen Qian closed his eyes and began to sense and try to mobilize the vital energy in his body.

The biggest difference between martial artists and ordinary people comes from the ever-flowing vital energy within their bodies.

In the initial stage of martial arts practice, vital energy only circulates within the meridians.

The main training process from the first stage of beginner martial artist to the ninth stage of beginner martial artist is to refine the vital energy in the meridians. Specifically, it is to continuously compress and increase the quality of the vital energy.

A normal beginner martial artist can compress nine times their original energy at this stage.

Each time, the quality of vital energy will undergo a certain leap, and these nine quantitative changes correspond to the nine stages of a beginner martial artist.

When the primordial energy can no longer be suppressed and begins to permeate the flesh and blood, one enters the intermediate martial artist stage.

At this moment, Shen Qian's vital energy was newly generated, and it hadn't even filled his meridians yet. It was probably just a trickle of energy flowing continuously within his meridians.

Even a wisp of vital energy, when attached to the body, can greatly enhance one's strength, which is why martial artists are far superior to ordinary people.

After about ten minutes, when Shen Qian had fully adapted and felt the flow of vital energy within his body and could mobilize it smoothly, he suddenly opened his eyes.

He exhaled sharply, leaped high into the air, and threw a simple, unadorned punch at "Liu Changqing".

Boom!

"Liu Changqing" is torn apart.

A few seconds later, several lines of data appeared on the simulator's screen.

"...

Strength: 1039 kg

Speed: 2.1 s / 100 meters

..."

Although I was somewhat prepared, I was still shocked and surprised when I saw those two numbers.

The power level has successfully broken through the one thousand mark!

What does this mean?

According to textbooks, the maximum strength of a normal ninth-dan beginner martial artist is 999 kg.

1000Kg is a line.

The dividing line between beginner and intermediate martial artists!

After calming down, Chen Qian was still somewhat confused.

When a normal quasi-martial artist breaks through to the first stage of martial arts, their strength usually starts at 149 kg, and after the boost from vital energy, it increases by ten to twenty or thirty kilograms.

The extent of the increase before the sinking was simply too exaggerated.

Keep in mind, he just broke through...

In other words, if we divide the initial stage of the beginner martial artist into more detailed categories, Shen Qian is currently a novice at the early stage of the beginner martial artist level.

This is definitely not because of the existence of primordial energy, because primordial energy can only increase Shen Qian's combat power, but it will not directly improve his strength.

"I've finally understood, I've finally understood..."

Chen Qian muttered to himself, then suddenly remembered something and quickly rang the bell to call Xiao Xuan.

"There's a textbook called 'Martial Arts Human Anatomy.' Check if your martial arts gym has it in the book section. If not, could you go out and buy me a copy?"

Five minutes later, Xiao Xuan, sweating profusely and panting heavily, ran back, holding up her little skirt, and stuffed a slightly dusty book into Chen Qian's hands.

Upon closer inspection, he saw it was "Martial Arts Human Anatomy" published by the Ministry of Education. After asking Xiaoxuan to make him a cup of green tea, he sat down on the sofa and began searching for the content he wanted.

"Martial Arts Human Anatomy" is a supplementary textbook for "High School Martial Arts Physiology". It is not part of the mandatory learning content. I did not order this textbook back then in order to save money, so there are still some blind spots in my knowledge.

Soon, Shen Qian found the content he wanted in the "Beginner Warrior Chapter".

After reading through all the pages, Shen Qian had roughly resolved his doubts. He closed the book, his eyes bright.

I see……

The opening of the orifices enhances the potential of the body before sinking, but before sinking, he only knew that opening the orifices unblocked the obstructed body, but he did not understand the specific principles behind it.

It turns out that it's less about "opening the mind" and more about "opening the meridians."

The blockage in the human body actually refers to the blockage in the meridians.

Simply put, most beginner martial artists, having not yet undergone the process of "opening the gates," have their meridians mostly blocked. When vital energy enters their bodies, it can only circulate within a "small area."
