I Open Treasure Chests in the Apocalypse

When Earth becomes a battlefield and killing becomes the norm, everyone eagerly awaits their desired items from treasure chests dropped by monsters. But he, having opened so many treasure chests, h...

Chapter 287 Tai Chi Chapter

"Neuropathy!"

"You big bastard!"

Ning Yanlan sat cross-legged on the bed, muttering to herself as she poked the shrunken Tianhun Tong doll in her hand with her finger, while Jiang Yuan, dressed in casual clothes, was practicing boxing in the room.

"When you're not together, you're as greedy as a dog; when you are together, you just throw people aside. No man is any good!" Ning Yanlan almost smashed the Heavenly Soul Child, but luckily, the Heavenly Soul Child was of excellent quality, and even with her violence, it wasn't damaged in the slightest.

"Tai Chi Chapter!"

"The fist is like Tai Chi, which gives rise to Yin and Yang, and combines movement and stillness."

Jiang Yuan relaxed his whole body, his arms in an extremely natural state. "The true meaning of the Tai Chi boxing manual is really interesting. It doesn't even require any energy!"

He understood Ning Yanlan's meaning, but he still chose to fight. He didn't want the incident of Bai Ri Xuan Yin to happen here. After all, Xiao Pang and Leng Yue would come over for a stroll from time to time, and they couldn't afford to lose face like that.

That's why he chose to box.

Since obtaining the true essence of the fist technique, he hasn't had time to study it. This is an item obtained from a crystal core, and in terms of value alone, he doesn't have many items that can compare to it. He definitely can't let it go.

"The two polarities give rise to the three powers, namely, the unity of heaven, earth, and man. Heaven has the three powers of sun, moon, and stars; earth has the three powers of water, fire, and earth; and man has the three powers of essence, energy, and spirit."

As Jiang Yuan swept his arms across the room, his focus gradually shifted from scattered to concentrated, achieving a unity of spirit, then a unity of breath, and finally, the primordial essence. This essence was not the same as the other kind; it was the manifestation of his pure power.

"Harmony!" Jiang Yuan's body trembled, and he slowly entered the state of harmony between humanity and nature.

Everything is influenced by the right timing, location, and people. At present, he can only achieve the unity of people and state, and he is powerless to do anything else, but this is enough for now.

From the unity of his two fists to his spirit, Jiang Yuan clearly did not make any punching movements, yet he still possessed the aura of a grandmaster.

"The Four Phases!"

Jiang Yuan closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he had a different understanding.

The so-called four phases refer to the four limbs of the human body and the four directions of east, west, south, and north.

A punch isn't just about throwing one punch; you need to be aware of everything around you. So what about your punch? You also need to consider all four aspects.

"The Five Elements!"

Jiang Yuan's expression faltered for a moment. The Five Elements represent the five internal organs of the human body and are closely related to metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. They also represent the five elements of advancing, retreating, looking around, hoping, and settling.

Boxing relies not only on fists, but also on footwork, which is the foundation of boxing. Advancing, retreating, looking around, and striking are all extremely important aspects of Tai Chi.

Jiang Yuan happened to stop here, for no other reason than that his five internal organs were all damaged in the battle with Chi Yu, making it extremely difficult for him to coordinate the five elements.

"Holy Spirit Protection!" Jiang Yuan cast a skill on himself, and his internal organs barely managed to assume the posture of the Five Elements under the protection of the Holy Spirit Protection.

"Next comes Liuhe!"

The Six Harmonies are divided into three internal harmonies and three external harmonies. The three internal harmonies are the harmony of mind and intention, intention and qi, and qi and strength. The three external harmonies are the harmony of shoulder and hip, elbow and knee, and hand and foot.

Jiang Yuan was stunned when he saw Liuhe, but at that moment the Three Sovereigns gene hidden in his body erupted, and he inexplicably fulfilled the conditions required for Liuhe.

A strange power enveloped Jiang Yuan, and he entered a magical state. He knew very well that this was an opportunity! An incredible opportunity.

"Seven Stars!"

This refers to seven parts of the human body: head, shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees, and ankles.

"Gossip!"

The eight trigrams, namely Kan, Li, Zhen, Dui, Qian, Kun, Gen, and Xun, correspond to the eight physical strengths of the human body: Peng, Lu, Ji, An, Cai, Lie, Zhou, and Kao.

"Nine Palaces!"

The human body has nine acupoints: the arm, being the distal segment, contains three acupoints: Laogong, Quchi, and Jianjing; the torso, being the middle segment, contains three acupoints: Zuqiao, Shenque, and Huiyin; and the leg, being the root segment, contains three acupoints: Yongquan, Yanglingquan, and Huantiao.

"Eighteen balls!"

These are the eighteen main joints of the human body: the two shoulders, two elbows, two wrists, two hips, two knees, two ankles, two buttocks, cervical vertebrae, thoracic vertebrae, lumbar vertebrae, and coccyx.

Guided by the Three Sovereigns' genes, Jiang Yuan actually completed all the steps of the Tai Chi Chapter. When he unleashed the Six Harmonies, Jiang Yuan was in a daze. But at that time, there was no time to be amazed. He was more focused on following his body's instincts to complete the Tai Chi Chapter.

Ning Yanlan, who was sitting to the side watching, was dumbfounded. As an observer, she was the one who could most directly see the changes in Jiang Yuan. From his clumsy and incoherent boxing skills at the beginning to his current subtly masterful level, it was like heaven and earth.

From the Two Elements to the Eighteen Balls, Jiang Yuan memorized the subtle changes in each step. Such enlightenment is rare and hard to come by, and he dared not hope that he could enter such a state again in his next cultivation of the true meaning of the fist technique.

Jiang Yuan immersed himself in practicing the Tai Chi Manual again and again.

Boxing is not just a skill; having energy alone is not enough. You also need sufficient proficiency.

When you look at a mountain, it is a mountain; when you look at a mountain, it is not a mountain; when you look at a mountain, it is a mountain again.

This is a gradual process, just like practicing boxing. First, you imitate its form, then you learn its power, and finally you understand its meaning.

"Jiang Yuan, it's almost time!"

A faint voice entered Jiang Yuan's ears, startling him awake from his comprehension of the Tai Chi Manual.

"Smoke and Mist!"

The moment Jiang Yuan opened his eyes, his pupils trembled. He looked up and saw Ning Yanlan sitting on the edge of the bed, smiling faintly at him, though her smile revealed a hint of weakness.

"How long has it been since the last Holy Spirit protected us?"

"Just fifty minutes, I think. It's quite interesting watching you box, so I lost track of time!" Although Ning Yanlan looked very weak, her words were full of liveliness.
