Chen Shiying and Chen Qiaoyi were very happy to have two new members in the family.
Before going to bed at night, they chatted for a long time, and occasionally glanced at the kitten in the corner.
However, Chen Qiaoyi was pregnant after all, and fell asleep after a while.
Next it’s time for Zhou Ziwen and Chen Shiying to exercise.
Moonlight streamed into the house through the window. The kittens curled up in their warm nests, occasionally moving their ears.
They were a little confused as to why there was a big cat's cry in the house.
And the big cat's cry is very strange.
Nothing happened that night. The next morning, as the first ray of sunlight shone into the house, Zhou Ziwen was the first to wake up.
He opened his eyes, took a deep breath of fresh air, and felt full of energy.
The first thing Zhou Ziwen did after waking up was to open the auto-switch panel.
【Five Animal Exercises MAX】
【Medical Skills Level 3 (1747/3000)】
[Dog Training Level 10 (532/1000)]
【Cooking Level 10 (231/1000)】
Planting Level 3 (17/3000)
[Grow Mushroom LV10 (375/1000)]
【Bow and Arrow Crafting Level 7 (199/700)】
【Management Level 5 (419/500)】
Fishing Level 4 (368/400)
[Feng Shui Level 0 (456/500)]
[Farming Level 0 (321/500)]
In the panel, the Five Animal Exercises have reached the maximum level.
The full level of Five Animal Exercises brought Zhou Ziwen unexpected results.
The Five Animal Frolics is a set of Qigong exercises designed to imitate the movements of five animals: tiger, deer, bear, ape, and bird.
After reaching the maximum level, Zhou Ziwen felt that he had more energy and his body was more flexible and coordinated.
He could feel the Qi and blood flowing freely in his body, and the functions of his internal organs were significantly improved.
Each breath seemed to absorb more oxygen, making his thinking sharper and his memory stronger.
In addition, the full-level Five Animal Exercises also made Zhou Ziwen's senses more acute.
He can hear sounds from far away, and his vision is sharper, allowing him to see clearly even at night or in low light.
By now, he already has two max-level skills.
One is Bajiquan and the other is Wuqinxi.
These two skills complement each other, one strengthens the body and the other regulates qi and blood, allowing his physical fitness to be further improved.
Zhou Ziwen got out of bed quietly without disturbing Chen Shiying and Chen Qiaoyi who were still sleeping.
He walked into the yard and started his day's exercise.
The movements are smooth and each posture is standard and in place, as if they have really transformed into five animals, showing their unique postures.
When he finished a complete set of Five Animal Exercises, he felt refreshed and comfortable all over his body.
He could feel a warm power filling his body, which made him feel healthier and stronger.
"Next, it's time to learn a new boxing technique."
Zhou Ziwen had an idea and took down the Five Animal Play that was idle.
Once the Five Animal Play reaches the maximum level, it is no longer useful to continue AFK.
He was also prepared for the next AFK skill.
Zhou Ziwen searched the idle panel for a while and soon found the target.
Tai Chi LV2 (156/200)
As the saying goes, Tai Chi in literature can bring peace to the world, and Baji in martial arts can determine the fate of the universe.
Since I have learned Bajiquan, it is natural not to miss Tai Chi.
Tai Chi is an internal martial art that uses softness to overcome hardness and stillness to control movement. It focuses on regulating breath and body balance, and its concepts and practice methods are different from Bajiquan and Wuqinxi.
However, in this era, knowledge was not circulated smoothly and everyone kept it secret, so Zhou Ziwen naturally could not learn real Tai Chi.
The Tai Chi he found was just a castrated version of health-preserving moves.
But for Zhou Ziwen, the castrated version alone is enough.
He only needs the boxing philosophy of Tai Chi.
When the level of Tai Chi reaches a certain level, it is actually no different from real Tai Chi.
The essence of Tai Chi lies in its principles of the interplay of yin and yang, and the balance of hardness and softness. Even simplified health-preserving moves contain rich philosophical insights and practical wisdom. Zhou Ziwen is well aware of this, so he's eager to learn Tai Chi.
As Tai Chi continued to play, Zhou Ziwen had some sporadic insights into Bajiquan in his mind.
These insights are not only an improvement of physical fitness, but also a baptism of the soul.
For Zhou Ziwen, practicing Tai Chi is a brand new experience.
He stood in the courtyard, facing the morning light, and slowly began the opening steps of Tai Chi. Though simple, each movement held profound meaning, and he could feel the air in his body flowing with the opening and closing of his fists.
The movements of Tai Chi made Zhou Ziwen feel an unprecedented sense of tranquility.
His mind seemed to be soothed by an invisible force, and all his worries and distractions gradually dissipated.
Practicing Tai Chi makes his mind more peaceful, like a calm lake without a single ripple.
In this state of mind, Zhou Ziwen's understanding of Bajiquan has also been further enhanced.
He discovered that the strength of Bajiquan and the gentleness of Taijiquan, though seemingly contradictory, actually complement each other.
In his Tai Chi practice, he learned how to better control his strength, making it more precise and efficient in the performance of Bajiquan.
After this practice, Zhou Ziwen gradually became addicted to it.
His boxing skills are already very high.
After reaching the maximum level in Bajiquan and Wuqinxi, he was considered a leading figure in boxing.
Take Tai Chi for example. He just looked at the practice methods in the book and before he even started practicing, he had already reached level two, close to level three.
When he started practicing, his Tai Chi skills and proficiency increased rapidly.
Zhou Ziwen only practiced Tai Chi once and broke through the second level to reach the third level.
"At this rate, I'm sure Tai Chi will reach max level soon."
Zhou Ziwen thought as he practiced boxing.
Just as he was immersed in practicing boxing, Chen Shiying and Chen Qiaoyi also got up.
When the two sisters saw Zhou Ziwen's movements, they were infected by the leisurely atmosphere of Tai Chi and their mood became calm.
"Sister, Brother Ziwen's Tai Chi looks so good." Chen Qiaoyi spoke softly beside her sister.
"Well, Ziwen's Tai Chi is very smooth." Chen Shiying nodded in agreement.
Tai Chi is widely spread and most people have heard of it.
After being with Zhou Ziwen for so long, they have a certain understanding of boxing.
Zhou Ziwen has sharp senses, and although he was immersed in boxing, he still discovered the Chen sisters.
Seeing that they all stood up, Zhou Ziwen also retracted his fist.
"Sister, Yiyi, you guys get up!"
Zhou Ziwen asked with a smile.
Chen Shiying and Chen Qiaoyi looked up and saw that Zhou Ziwen had stopped and stood up, looking at them with a smile on his face.
"Brother Ziwen, you got up so early to practice boxing?" Chen Qiaoyi rubbed her eyes, looking a little embarrassed.
Zhou Ziwen nodded: "Yes, the air is good in the morning. I practice boxing and I feel more energetic."
Chen Shiying approached, her eyes full of admiration: "Ziwen, your Tai Chi is very good. It looks smooth and natural."
"Tai Chi is indeed very suitable for you. When I see you practicing, I feel that your movements and breathing are very coordinated." Chen Qiaoyi also agreed.
Zhou Ziwen smiled and explained, "Tai Chi emphasizes the combination of movement and stillness, and the balance of hardness and softness. It's a great exercise for both body and mind."
Chen Shiying pondered, "It sounds very profound. I want to learn it too."
Chen Qiaoyi's eyes lit up: "I want to learn too, Brother Ziwen, please teach us."
Zhou Ziwen readily agreed: "Of course, Tai Chi is good for strengthening your physique and regulating your mind and body. Tomorrow you should get up early and I will teach you Tai Chi." (End of this chapter)
