Taiji.
This is the cultivation method Lin Yun chose.
He is currently learning more than two hundred martial arts techniques, and he has mastered many of them to a high level. He is very skilled in various techniques of applying force, and in some aspects, he has many similarities with Tai Chi on Earth.
Tai Chi is a martial arts philosophy, among which two martial arts techniques are particularly famous: Tai Chi Chuan and Tai Chi Sword.
Lin Yun chose to learn Tai Chi.
Lin Yun believed that weapons are an extension of the body, and Tai Chi sword is actually a better way to use weapons by applying the Tai Chi philosophy, but Tai Chi Chuan is the foundation.
According to the information displayed on the Cosmic Trading System, there are three levels of Tai: low-level, mid-level, and high-level, which correspond to first-level, second-level, and third-level martial arts skills, respectively.
Although Lin Yun has already reached the Dark Force realm and can learn level two martial arts techniques, he still chooses to learn level one martial arts techniques.
Level 1 martial arts skills are fundamental; mastering them will help him build a solid foundation.
If his foundation is not solid, even if he learns intermediate and advanced Tai Chi, he will find it difficult to understand it more deeply and make greater progress.
"boom--"
The moment the hundred spirit crystals disappeared, a massive amount of martial arts information surged into Lin Yun's mind. At the same time, Lin Yun felt a special power emerge and circulate within his body.
This is the instinctive imprint that has been integrated into his body to practice Tai Chi, along with some accompanying breathing techniques.
Level 1 martial arts is just the beginning; to learn the beginner level, one hundred spirit crystals are required.
This is also why Lin Yun didn't learn Earth martial arts before; they were too expensive. The cost of learning them quickly was almost ten times that of the same level of martial arts from alien civilizations.
This time, Lin Yun is conducting an experiment.
whoosh—whoosh—whoosh—
Lin Yun closed his eyes, digesting the information about these martial arts techniques while practicing each move of this Tai Chi style.
"Sure enough, after learning Tai Chi, I have new insights... Tai Chi... Is this Tai Chi? No wonder it is a famous martial art on Earth, a martial art that is almost like the Tao. Although I am already very proficient in various techniques of applying force, and can achieve the effect of using four ounces to deflect a thousand pounds in many places, I do not have a detailed set of related martial arts principles..."
Lin Yun thought to himself.
Learning has no end, and Lin Yun experienced this feeling once again.
He originally thought his foundation was already very solid, but at this moment, he felt that he had made great progress again.
"Unfortunately, even just entering the realm requires one hundred spirit crystals, achieving minor success requires one thousand spirit crystals, and reaching the peak requires one hundred thousand spirit crystals..."
Lin Yun quickly shook his head.
One hundred thousand spiritual crystals—how terrifying is that?
This is just a basic level of Tai Chi...
If you want to learn intermediate Tai Chi, just to get started, you need to spend a thousand spirit crystals. If you want to reach the peak quickly, you need a million spirit crystals. What a terrifying number that is!
Not to mention, there's also advanced Tai Chi...
Furthermore, this is just Tai Chi Chuan; what about learning Tai Chi Sword next?
What if we were to learn other martial arts techniques from Earth?
"Perhaps I'm too greedy. A martial arts master only needs to master one martial art to be powerful and can climb the ranks step by step. But I want to learn many martial arts..."
Lin Yun hesitated and began to reflect.
"This is the foundation. There's no harm in learning more. If the cost becomes too high later, we'll see..."
Soon, Lin Yun shook his head again.
If he hadn't learned so many martial arts techniques, how could he, at the early stage of Dark Force, be able to fight against top experts at the peak of Dark Force? He was confident that he could defeat ordinary martial artists at the peak of Dark Force within a few moves.
Although, as the saying goes, skill is valued for its quality rather than its quantity.
However, this does not apply to Lin Yun, who possesses the Cosmic Trading System.
The principle of valuing quality over quantity applies because a person's energy is limited, and they cannot learn too many skills. Learning too many skills leads to a scattered focus, resulting in mastering none of them.
Remember, the problem here is that you're not an expert in everything. What if you're an expert in everything?
If you master one method, you master all methods. If you are proficient in all of them, the combined effect will be terrifying.
If a person has great energy and strong comprehension, it is certainly possible for them to learn multiple skills.
Just like the four arts of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, some geniuses only need to master one of them to the highest level to be very good. However, there are also some top geniuses who can excel in both calligraphy and painting, and even more amazing geniuses who can excel in all four arts.
Lin Yun possesses the Cosmic Trading System; to learn a skill, he only needs enough spiritual crystals.
If Lin Yun didn't have the Cosmic Trading System, within a certain realm, he would definitely only learn a few martial arts techniques at most. He would only refer to any more techniques and wouldn't delve too deeply into them.
Lin Yun benefited greatly from the set of boxing techniques.
After practicing it several times, Lin Yun's understanding of Tai Chi Chuan deepened.
"At my current pace, I estimate that it will only take me two or three days to raise this martial art to the minor mastery level..."
After typing it several times, Lin Yun thought to himself.
The basic moves of Tai Chi are just a few fixed ones. The levels of proficiency, such as minor success, major success, and peak, represent the degree of skill, various variations, and reaction speed. In the end, the moves can even be changed. Every punch and kick, every movement can incorporate the Tai Chi philosophy. Every move is a move, yet no move is a move. The level of "no move is better than any move" is achieved.
Intermediate Tai Chi, advanced Tai Chi, and even Tai Chi sword evolved in this way.
They have many things in common.
If Lin Yun masters one of these subjects, he will be able to learn another subject very quickly.
The same principle applies.
Lin Yun has learned more than two hundred martial arts techniques, and he has mastered most of them to a high level. He has a deep understanding of various moves, many of which contain Tai Chi principles. He is also learning Tai Chi very quickly now.
"Let's choose fast learning instead..."
Lin Yun shook his head.
Now, he's become addicted to learning. It takes him two or three days to reach a basic level of proficiency in Tai Chi, and he can't wait any longer.
"boom--"
Lin Yun chose to study again.
As the thousand spiritual crystals disappeared, an even larger amount of martial arts information entered his mind, and at the same time, deeper martial arts imprints entered his body.
whoosh—whoosh—whoosh—
Lin Yun practiced Tai Chi again, and this time, the feeling he experienced while practicing it immediately changed.
Don't think that the minor level of Tai Chi is nothing. Many people have practiced Tai Chi for many years and still may not be able to get started. Some so-called Tai Chi masters are only at the minor level.
As the saying goes, "It takes ten years to master Tai Chi," meaning some people practice Tai Chi for ten years and still may not even have mastered the basics.
The Great Perfection... Even some martial arts masters who have reached the pinnacle of Tai Chi Chuan only reach this level.
At this moment, Lin Yun's Tai Chi movements already possessed the air of a master.
In addition, his martial arts foundation, built upon learning over two hundred different martial arts techniques, enabled him to unleash Tai Chi Chuan with a power that even surpassed the power of some Tai Chi masters' lesser-level Tai Chi Chuan techniques.
"Hmm? Brother Lin is performing Tai Chi?"
Zhang Haoran, who was practicing his moves, suddenly noticed the commotion on Lin Yun's side. After watching for a while, he was slightly surprised.
He often watched his father practice martial arts, which broadened his horizons. He quickly realized that Lin Yun's Tai Chi was not simple.
"Could it be that Brother Lin is a disciple of the Wudang Sect, or perhaps a disciple of the Tai Chi Sect?"
Zhang Haoran thought to himself.
Tai Chi is widely practiced, but the Wudang School and Tai Chi School are considered the most authentic. Furthermore, both the Wudang School and Tai Chi School are major martial arts schools.
However, even if Lin Yi is a disciple of the Wudang Sect or the Tai Chi Sect, it doesn't prevent him from making friends.
Soon, he stopped paying attention to Lin Yun's fist techniques.
The preliminary round only lasts one day, and it's getting late, so he needs to make the most of his time to practice his moves.
The moves that Lin Yi taught him were very useful, and he couldn't waste Lin Yi's kindness.
An hour later, Zhang Haoran stopped practicing his moves.
Lin Yun also stopped practicing Tai Chi.
This demonstration of Tai Chi at a junior level benefited Lin Yun even more, and left him wanting more.
"Unfortunately, it takes 10,000 spirit crystals to quickly learn the advanced level of Tai Chi..."
Lin Yun sighed again.
If it weren't for the need for 10,000 spirit crystals, he would really like to study quickly again.
This is a new path, a new perspective. He felt that there was still a lot of knowledge to explore, and this feeling made him want to quickly absorb this knowledge. Most people cannot understand this feeling.
Zhang Haoran went to compete again.
Lin Yun also went to watch the battle.
This place brings together martial arts geniuses from all over the country.
They displayed a variety of martial arts techniques, some of which caught Lin Yun's eye.
Lin Yun also wanted to see if he could find another Earth martial art that he wanted to learn quickly.
Zhang Haoran participated in the draw and soon began to fight.
This is Zhang Haoran's seventh battle.
Before this, many weaker individuals had been injured or discouraged and no longer wanted to fight. Those who joined the battle now were mostly strong.
Zhang Haoran's opponent this time, like him, had already reached the mid-stage of Ming Jin.
The sect is... the Seven Wounds Sect!
Lin Yun was somewhat surprised when he heard the other person's self-introduction.
Seven Wounds Sect?
Isn't this the sect of his master Yan Dashan?
His master also asked him to deliver a letter to one of his master's uncles, and that letter is still in his trading space.
Zhang Haoran was already quite strong at the mid-stage of Ming Jin, and after practicing the moves taught by Lin Yun, his strength became even greater. After a dozen or so moves, Zhang Haoran defeated his opponent.
"Brother Lin, I have already won five games."
Zhang Haoran happily stepped off the stage, while the other person glared at him fiercely before leaving from the other side.
Originally, Lin Yun had planned to go up and inquire about the Seven Wounds Sect, but upon seeing this scene, he stopped his plans.
The opponent had just lost to Zhang Haoran and was in a bad mood towards him. Zhang Haoran had already come down to talk to him, and if he went up to him now, the opponent probably wouldn't give him a good look.
Furthermore, if he remembered correctly, the Seven Wounds Sect was not entirely friendly to his master; in fact, most of them were unfriendly, and some even injured his master.
He shouldn't go yet.
Anyway, he'll be staying here for three more days. Since the Seven Wounds Sect has also come, he shouldn't have trouble finding an opportunity to talk to them. He just needs to hand over his master's letter to his master's uncle.
At this point, Zhang Haoran had already participated in seven matches, with three matches remaining.
In the eighth match, Zhang Haoran lost.
In the ninth match, Zhang Haoran won.
In the tenth match, Zhang Haoran lost.
Although he lost two out of three games, Zhang Haoran was still very happy.
Because he has already won six games, it is no problem for him to enter the top 300, and he may even enter the top 100, which greatly exceeds his expectations.
"Brother Lin, I must thank you for teaching me those moves. Otherwise, I would have had a hard time winning these two matches..."
Zhang Haoran expressed his deep gratitude.
"Brother Lin, you're amazing! Ten consecutive wins! That's rare even in previous tournaments. Brother Lin, I feel like you're going to become famous at this martial arts tournament..."
Then, Zhang Haoran looked at Lin Yun with envy and said.
