Chapter 65: Forming Strength, Building Tendon Bridges, and Build Bone Beams
Time flies, it is November and Wuyi College has been in session for two months.
Many A-grade students have already started practicing and have mastered the breathing technique, but there are also many who have failed, and the number is the highest in history.
The school board discussed this and put pressure on the management, but the management believed that this was a very normal situation given the same proportion as the number of people increased, so they rejected the inquiry.
The B-grade students, on the other hand, are training harder in preparation for the start of training. Because their own qualifications are much lower than those of the A-grade students, they need more accumulation and training. Most of them will not be eligible to start training until half a year or a year later.
Since Chen Chuan temporarily had no assigned tasks to consider, he was able to devote himself to training.
As for the monthly exam in February, it went by without any setbacks.
At this moment, he once again fell into that state of immersion and forgot about time. Until one day, during repeated hard training, he felt his body getting warm again.
This fever was completely different from the last one, as if a different kind of power was growing out of the body and was about to break out.
It's like the feeling of a butterfly about to break out of its cocoon and shed its old shell to be reborn, but at the same time, it is bound and hindered by an invisible force.
He seemed to have some understanding in his mind, and practiced the regular free-hand fighting over and over again, trying hard to push and help the force to break through the obstacles.
Originally his moves were very fast, but later on he fought slower and slower, and his steps seemed to become extremely sluggish, as if he was bearing a huge burden in every movement.
But that layer of obstacle was not broken through for a long time, as if he could not escape the inherent cage. But he was not impatient, his mind remained calm, he completely put aside all distracting thoughts, and only focused on the present, so the night passed like that.
At the moment when the sun was about to rise and the sky was finally about to usher in the dawn, when he pressed out with one hand, he suddenly felt a shock all over his body, as if some restraints had been broken free, and then he maintained the posture of the free-hand stance without moving.
After a while, when the rays of rising sun shone through the side of the floor-to-ceiling window, illuminating the entire sky in front of him, he let out a long breath, slowly retracted his momentum, walked to the window, and bathed in the rising sun.
Although he hadn't slept all night, the abundant strength brought by the practice of the power method and the inner joy brought by the hard work and growth made him still energetic and not tired at all.
He slowly guided the breathing technique, feeling the changes in the alienated tissues in his body.
Different from the growth direction brought by other power methods, his alienated tissue starts to grow from the fascia, and then extends into the tendons with thin alienated tissue from the fascia.
They seemed to be intermittent, entangled with each other, and seemed to form a web that was neither broken nor unbroken, but as long as he exerted a little force, they would struggle and wrap around each other, twisting into a force.
Those that go under the skin are another form of alienation. It seems to be a more subtle and resilient gossamer-like existence extending from these fibers.
It seems to be flowing and alive. When the mind moves, it will stretch and connect in series, thus forming a protective layer that is like a membrane but not a membrane.
These alienated tissues do not exist independently, but are strongly connected to each other. They are multi-layered, with fascia attached to and wrapped around the bones and muscles as the foundation, and then extending outward.
Once he tries to exert force, the alienated tissues will cooperate with each other, contract and expand, and mobilize and transmit the force layer by layer.
However, these alienated tissues that were restrained and guided by Zhou Yuan Jin Fa still seemed very fragile at the moment.
Just like that layer of alienated tissue that seemed to be able to flow, although it could gather together at once, it was unable to form a protective layer that was solid enough like a wrapping force. After all, he did not specialize in that alienated membrane.
However, this was only his normal self. Because the alienated tissue grew from him, it was a part of "me," so the second self also possessed this power. And when the two were combined...
He turned his gaze to the sandbag hanging on the side, reached out his hand, and just touched it lightly with the back of his hand.
The sandbag didn't shake much, but suddenly, it fell apart, and the sand, cotton wool, sawdust and other fillings inside were scattered on the ground.
He slowly withdrew his hand. He had just imitated the internal vibration and soft force of Hunyuan Jin. He didn't know how effective it was compared to the real Hunyuan Jin, but he needed to know that he could try to use various forces to generate force, and the actual combat performance could not be compared with a single force.
At this time, he also discovered several important points. For example, when he used the Hunyuan Jin method to exert force, the force naturally came from the Dantian, because this is the foundation of the Hunyuan Jin method.
But his Zhou Yuan Jin Fa's force points are not limited to this one. Now most of them are on the root joints, with only a few in the middle joints.
He knew in his heart that it was because he had just mastered the Zhou Yuan Jin method and it was not enough to make all parts of his body become force points. However, if the alienated tissues in his body continued to grow, then as he gradually deepened his practice, more force points should appear.
Next, he imitated some of the techniques he knew one by one. Of course, this was just superficial. After all, every mature technique was the result of thousands of trials and tribulations, and required overall coordination.
Even among people who practice the same kind of Jin method, their level of application varies, so even if he can imitate it, he probably won't be able to reach the best level of a certain Jin method.
But he doesn't need to do so. As long as he can follow the force when using various means, that's enough. He has his own path and doesn't have to simply imitate others.
After combing his hair, he went to wash up and walked out of the dormitory. Although it was still early, most of the students had already gone out to exercise.
He came to the public phone, picked up the receiver, dialed a number, and when the call was connected, he asked, "Teacher, I hope I didn't disturb you so early?"
Cheng Zitong's voice came from the other side: "I'm your teacher in charge of logistics. I have to get up early and go to bed late. Well, what do you want from me?" Then he realized it and raised his voice slightly: "It can't be..."
Chen Chuan said: "Yes, teacher, I have mastered it."
He heard a brief silence from the other side, followed by a deliberately suppressed voice: "Well done, Chen Chuan, you haven't let your teacher down. More importantly, you haven't let yourself down. Your hard work has paid off!" After a pause, the voice continued, "Well, don't go anywhere. Wait for me."
Chen Chuanshuo said: "Teacher, don't you have something to do this morning? How about..."
Cheng Zitong immediately interrupted him: "What could be more important than my students right now? Just wait."
Ten minutes later, Cheng Zitong arrived at dormitory No. 4 on the seventh floor. He first asked Chen Chuan to demonstrate, then used special techniques to pat and inspect him, and asked a few questions to confirm that this student had indeed mastered the Zhou Yuan Jin method.
"It's been more than two months, and you've really nailed it. Very good, very good!"
Cheng Zitong seemed to no longer be depressed at this time, but was truly relaxed. He also knew that his student was mature beyond his age and would not be arrogant at all, so he did not hesitate to praise him.
Chen Chuanshuo said: "I would also like to thank the teacher for his guidance."
Cheng Zitong smiled and said, "No matter how much I teach you, it will be useless without your own efforts. I just want to remind you that even though you have mastered the Zhou Yuan Jin method, it doesn't mean you have fully mastered it.
'Yun Zhen Zhong' emphasizes the word 'Yun'. Now that your Zhen Zhong has entered, it's time to find a way to 'grow' it. This means allowing the alienated tissue to grow accordingly and gradually become stronger, but there are some tricks involved."
Chen Chuan also felt this way. He bowed to Cheng Zitong and said, "Please give me some advice, Master."
Cheng Zitong nodded and said, "The first alienated tissue you produced was fascia. These alienated fascia are attached to the bones and involved in the muscles. Therefore, in order to maintain its own strength, the alienated tissue will reversely infiltrate the bones, making the bones more resilient and strong, and able to bear greater forces.
This process, in the words of traditional martial arts, is like "building a bridge of tendons and a beam of bones"! It is like forming a new set of tendons and bones in your body.
Although the old warriors didn't understand the specifics of what was happening, they could sense the changes within themselves and, through experience, devised feasible methods and procedures. This coincided with the training philosophy of 'First Limit,' the only difference being that today's methods were more targeted, practical, and efficient.
He pointed at Chen Chuan and said, "Next, in addition to medication, you need to make these alienated tissues more obedient and compliant through continuous training and actual combat."
