The martial arts tournament is still a month away from starting, and it will be held in Longhu Mountain, a famous Taoist holy site in JX Province.
At that time, it might have already snowed on Longhu Mountain, or the temperature might have been very low even if it hadn't snowed. The climate was a simple test for martial artists.
Although Longhu Mountain is famous, it's not particularly large. An older generation owner has property on one of the peaks of Longhu Mountain, but it's not open to the public.
Although the status of martial artists is declining, top-tier martial artists still wield immense power. This is true for figures like Grandpa Yun, Master Chanshan, and that other senior.
During this month, Chen Yang tried his best to finish filming all his scenes.
Filming didn't take up much time, and since we were going to film in the Micro Realm, it was also a training trip before the martial arts tournament.
He practiced his boxing on the "Mirror of the Sky" on the Loess Plateau, his reflection clearly mirrored in the water, the sky and earth a clear, deep blue—a breathtaking sight. He was also adjusting his Xingyi Quan, beginning to explore his own path.
Master Yun made modifications to Xingyi Quan, forging his own path, and spent decades perfecting it to achieve his current status.
Chen Yang is very close to this level. Grandpa Yun only discovered his path when he was almost forty years old, while he discovered it more than ten years earlier.
Chen Yang understood that the reason his Xingyi Quan talent was so extraordinary was mostly due to his wolf-like bloodline.
The reward of wolf bloodline seems inferior to lightness of body and extreme physique, but wolf bloodline is the ability that has the most profound impact on Chen Yang.
It endowed Chen Yang with exceptional endurance, allowing him to run for extended periods without rest. It also granted him primal instincts, enabling him to control his physical strength and push his body to its limits. Furthermore, it gave him a wild animal-like intuition, allowing him to sense danger and possess extreme reflexes.
These factors are what made Chen Yang a martial arts genius.
He also controlled and even exploited the side effects of his wolfish bloodline: his fighting spirit and sexual desire.
If the desire to fight can be controlled, it will only be an aid. Chen Yang has worked hard for this for a long time and has finally been able to rationally control it when the desire to fight is aroused.
As for sexual desire, well... all I can say is that Li Su'er has had a tough time.
Fortunately, Li Su'er also practices boxing frequently, and with the blessing of the spiritual energy in the micro-world, her body is in excellent condition. Also, well, how should I put it, she's quite strong in that area... I guess.
Let's avoid this topic.
Chen Yang is now searching for a path that transcends the wolf-like bloodline, using the wolf-like bloodline as a foundation, but not as the dominant force.
To transcend this, one must first understand it.
Therefore, Chen Yang deliberately did not control his fighting spirit and let it run wild.
To help him take another step forward, Grandpa Yun also came to the Loess Plateau to keep him company. He even brought Zen Mountain along as well.
He unconditionally cooperated with any of Chen Yang's ideas, and together with Chanshan, they were barely able to suppress Chen Yang when he was at full power.
Chen Yang's "going all out" means using all the abilities granted by the micro-world.
The beastly instincts of wolf blood, the ultimate vision and locking ability of eagle eyes, the speed brought by the lightness of the wind, and the ultimate physique that all martial artists yearn for.
When Chen Yang uses all these abilities without reservation, he becomes a humanoid Tyrannosaurus Rex who knows martial arts.
He ignores all attacks except those that are vital points, and can evade all vital points as well. He uses his lightness of body to influence his opponents in close combat. In such a duel between masters, even the slightest influence can be fatal.
Master Chanshan and Old Master Yun were even more terrifying. Despite their advanced age, their movements showed no difficulty whatsoever. Moreover, their movements, whether light or heavy, possessed their own unique power and presence.
Despite having such terrifying support, Chen Yang was still suppressed.
The two old men's attacks were too powerful; every move aimed at a vital point, even carrying a murderous intent. Chen Yang suspected that both of them had killed people before. Even Master Chanshan was no exception!
If he hadn't possessed an extremely superior physique, he would have been completely battered and bruised long ago.
His wolf-like instincts were completely useless against the two grandmasters. He was completely suppressed; every move he made was read, and his attack routes were blocked before he could even react.
Chen Yang is physically strong, but he still needs to defend his vital areas such as his face, head, throat, and groin, especially in front of two grandmasters.
Once we relax our guard, a complete collapse is inevitable.
Throughout the day, Chen Yang was punched and hit countless times with sticks, with several vital areas being attacked.
However, although Chen Yang was beaten countless times and knocked down many times, his recovery ability was too fast.
On the contrary, Grandpa Yun and Master Chanshan are getting old and their physical strength can no longer keep up.
Chen Yang wanted the two elderly people to rest, but they refused.
"No, you can't rest. You have to maintain this state and keep going!" Grandpa Yun said decisively.
Master Chanshan also silently picked up a twig and whittled it into a stick; this was the third time he had done so today.
Chen Yang understood the two old men's determination, so he said nothing more and continued to be beaten.
Then, under Yin Weilin's lens, Chen Yang's movements changed somewhat. His moves seemed more concise and more like those of a wild beast; he had fully activated his wolfish bloodline.
Under the Mirror of the Sky, Chen Yang punched wildly like a wild beast, yet also punched slowly like an old man; the contrast between stillness and movement was striking.
Despite the stark contrast, it doesn't look out of place at all; it's extremely comfortable. Even a layman could seem to discern some of the essence of Chen Yang's martial arts.
Yin Weilin was the one who could barely discern a trace of the essence in Chen Yang's martial arts.
He also knew that Chen Yang was exploring his own path, so his style was not very stable and was in flux.
However, he also noticed a wild, untamed quality in Chen Yang's boxing style, which made him very happy.
"Great, this is the kind of boxing that you learn from nature, this is the feeling that movies are trying to capture."
Yin Weilin was very excited; Chen Yang's transformation this time was exactly what he wanted.
"He learned martial arts from the organization, then followed the secret manuals left by Xue Kui and the deceased high monk, and gained insights in nature. Afterwards, we need to find Jing Wu to do some reshoots and modify some settings so that the protagonist's transition from youth to adulthood is spent learning from Xue Kui."
Yin Weilin murmured excitedly to himself, very happy.
He had revised his initial design many times, but he was still very happy because the revisions were not blind. They were constantly being improved on the original basis, and they were becoming more and more unexpected.
"This is what a movie should be like. You'll never know what it's like until it's finished being filmed."
Yin Weilin said with heartfelt emotion.
