Chapter 16: Standing Still



After three days of consideration, Uchiha You gave up the idea of ​​obtaining the Eight Gates Ninjutsu.

This forbidden technique is extremely painful to practice, and what's worse is that there is no positive feedback. I cannot endure practicing it by force.

Uchiha You has a very clear understanding of his willpower.

The most important thing is that during the foundation-building stage, his core pursuit is to advance natural energy and physical body in tandem, so as to lay the most solid foundation for entering the next stage of cultivation.

In Uchiha You's vague impression, the Taoist system of practice believes that the practitioner's body is a precious raft for crossing the world and once it is damaged.

Before the foundation is built, one must absolutely avoid injuries that cause physical defects, and one must not damage the original foundation. Things like indulgence in sexual activities are unacceptable.

The training intensity of Might Dai and Might Guy is even more terrifying than excessive indulgence. If someone else does this, they will have symptoms of hematuria in just a few days.

Uchiha You was able to confirm that Might Dai had symptoms of hematuria at least ten times in the past ten years.

His body was full of holes. The muscles in his arms, legs, waist, abdomen and back all showed signs of rhabdomyolysis, and it had occurred repeatedly more than once.

Otherwise, there will be no muscle fiber adhesion.

In contrast to him is Might Guy, who, despite being only eleven years old, has trained with the same intensity as his father, and does not have any hidden injuries in his body.

Uchiha You was greatly surprised, and finally could only sigh: Might Dai is an amazing taijutsu expert and a great father.

It is impossible for the Might family's training intensity to not cause hidden injuries. Might Guy has no hidden injuries at all, which is naturally due to Might Dai's meticulous care and sufficient medicine.

Judging from the income of Dai, a perennial Genin, he spent all his money on his son, and he just gritted his teeth and endured it, not even having money to buy painkillers.

If he had not embarked on the path of cultivating immortals and had not successfully established his foundation, Uchiha You might have made up his mind to spend a large sum of money to hire Might Dai, who would definitely be able to help him design the strongest physical training plan.

Moreover, hiring Matt Day to supervise me in executing my exercise plan can also eliminate my laziness factor to the greatest extent.

But now it is no longer possible. Uchiha You's body has undergone major changes. The changes brought about by the foundation building are so exaggerated that they do not even require Might Guy to check them personally. As long as he gives a brief description to this physical training expert, Uchiha You will reveal his secrets.

The Uchiha clan shouldn't have greater self-healing abilities than the Senju, and they shouldn't have more chakra than the Uzumaki clan.

These are all deadly secrets.

Therefore, it is better to wait until you complete the foundation-building stage before trying it yourself.

Uchiha You carried a load that was ten times his body weight and walked his way step by step. After circling Konoha Village, he walked back to his home step by step.

He pushed open the gate and took the last few steps tremblingly to the door of the room. He glanced at the clock in the living room and his heart suddenly rejoiced.

"Seven forty-nine, a full five minutes earlier than yesterday. Not only have I improved, but the speed of improvement has also increased."

"I can't believe such a stupid exercise method can have such a big effect, meow."

Miwa Masayo walked in a cat-like manner, circled around Uchiha Yu, carefully observing his upper body without clothes, and exclaimed in amazement.

Due to the high-intensity training, his muscles were engorged with blood and bulged high, making Uchiha You look exceptionally strong.

It was totally different from the miserable appearance of the first day. Although Uchiha You's brain felt great, his body showed signs of muscle contraction and foaming at the mouth, which scared Miwa Masayo so much that he was at a loss.

It was not like yesterday, when he collapsed in the hall, his soul ascending to heaven in happiness.

Today Uchiha You had a stronger sense of refreshment, but he was able to soberly take off his weights and vest, standing up and enjoying the natural energy repairing his whole body.

On the third day, he was able to finish weight training by standing. The speed of his improvement made him decide to try standing still to see what effect static exercises would have.

After a simple shower, Uchiha You changed into a loose training suit.

Under Miwa Masayo's puzzled gaze, Uchiha You tried to do horse stance.

He spread his feet shoulder-width apart, then slowly squatted down, lowered his center of gravity, and gradually squatted deeper. Then, as seen in the short video, he continued to spread his feet apart, and then raised his hands to the same level as his shoulders.

After only three minutes, Uchiha You's brows were furrowed. He felt the soreness in his thigh muscles just like in his previous life, and even had obvious tremors.

No, there is a problem.

He had seen people who could do horse stance. Those people were definitely not as strong as he was now, but they could do it for half an hour without any shaking in their bodies.

[By the way, they all said that the key to doing horse stance is to relax and loosen up your muscles and bones...]

[My thighs are as tight as iron pillars. There is no possibility of relaxation. What's wrong? ]

[Let me think about it…]

[By the way, the horse stance is not the first step of standing still. The first step is called Hunyuan stance. I remember it is a very relaxing posture. Give it a try.]

Hunyuan Posture is really very simple.

Uchiha You followed his memory, placed his feet slightly apart to shoulder width, adjusted his breathing, and relaxed his body.

With steady breathing and a peaceful state of mind, he began to bend his knees slightly, pretending to be half squatting and half sitting, while raising his hands to shoulder width, with his five fingers spread out and his palms facing inward.

Relax, relax…

Gradually, Uchiha You found some feeling and his posture changed naturally.

The wrists of both hands rotate inward, making a posture of hugging inward and supporting outward, while the shoulders become more and more relaxed without any feeling of hunching.

Uchiha You felt what it meant, and his feet really felt like they were rooted in the earth.

Slowly, he lowered his shoulders and elbows, hunched his chest and straightened his back. His whole body looked like he was holding a big bell in his arms. Although he was sitting backwards, he stood there steadily.

Miwa Masayo was confused and yet found it very interesting. She jumped all over Uchiha Yu out of curiosity, but did not wake up the owner who had fallen into a deep state of tranquility.

Entering into natural tranquility is not the same as sleeping; the human spirit is alert.

If they encounter danger, the person in a state of tranquility can react immediately, but will not be awakened by the touch of familiar and reassuring creatures.

After naturally entering a state of tranquility, Uchiha You's body began to relax, and his posture continued to undergo fine-tuning as he relaxed.

The stance exercise does not seek to be low, but focuses on cultivating Qi and blood. When Qi and blood are full and flow spontaneously, they will naturally transition to the stage of stretching the tendons and bones, which means they will naturally become a low stance.

In theory, this is a basic skill, and it normally takes two to three years for the physical fitness to meet the requirements.

But Uchiha You's physical fitness is very strong, completely not on the same level as ordinary people, and it can even be said that he is a different species. His progress in standing still naturally cannot be calculated according to common sense.

Unconsciously, Uchiha You's posture switched to a horse stance, with his knees hanging down, naturally assuming a low-structured horse stance.

Two hours later, he felt the existence of his "muscles and bones" and made them jump. His body shook up and down as his muscles and bones jumped, and his thigh muscles were really in a relaxed state, similar to the at-ease posture in a military posture.

After his muscles and bones throbbed for about a quarter of an hour, Uchiha You felt the qi and blood.

That was not real qi and blood, but an indescribable mental state, but it felt as if there was really qi filling the body.

He even had a feeling of being hung upside down and falling down.

Very amazing.
