Chapter 175 - 175 124 Vertical Qi like Thunder Courageous Inside and Out_2

175: Chapter 124: Vertical Qi like Thunder, Courageous Inside and Out_2 175: Chapter 124: Vertical Qi like Thunder, Courageous Inside and Out_2 He found many manuscripts of Master Lei Hongsheng from Old Liang, most of which contained essential tips on how to maintain the body.

Thus, he began urging his master to get rid of bad habits and enter a health-preserving rhythm.

“I’ll just have one cup, and I’ll truly quit afterward.”

Old Liang sighed.

As a master, he was now being controlled by his disciple, and quickly changed the topic:

“I was just talking about you with Brother Ren.

He thought your performance yesterday was excellent, but not without flaws.”

Qin Shi sat down on a low wooden stool with a serious expression, ready to listen.

He never thought of himself as a combat genius.

The fundamental reason for bridging the gap in life force lay partly in the huge boost from breaking two limits, and partly in the various enhancements from achieving characteristics.

Because of his lack of combat experience, Qin Shi wanted to make up for this shortcoming, so he persisted in choosing his targets and reflecting every night.

He also enjoyed experiencing defeat and being crushed repeatedly in the Virtual Combat Room.

“Mr.

Qin, you don’t seem too good at fighting.”

Ren You said so.

Old Liang took small sips of wine.

In teaching disciples, he might really not be as good as the Nanhuang Daoist School, which had many disciples and deep roots.

But hearing this, he was curious why Brother Ren said Qin Shi wasn’t good at fighting.

After all, yesterday Qin Shi single-handedly took down three wanted criminals from the Inspection Department.

How could it be said that his combat power wasn’t top-notch and his strength was extraordinary?

“Mr.

Qin, the way you use your strength is too…

crude, like a fully opened faucet releasing water uncontrollably, with almost no holding back or reserving strength.”

Ren You watched the video repeatedly, analyzing Qin Shi’s movements and reactions frame by frame, thus seeing through everything and understanding quite well.

“This might be a kind of Old Martial Sect path dependency because we focus on developing the mortal body and tapping potential.

Especially since Mr.

Qin has taken the Limit-Breaking Road, your physique and physical abilities are much stronger than your peers.

But in the Star Cup, or in the broader Star Sea, the strong enemies you’ll face in the future are all geniuses who have emerged from different administrative areas.

They include New Martial practitioners, Old Martial practitioners, and even those who are almost like the gods’ chosen ones, born with extraordinary talents.”

Qin Shi nodded.

Old Liang was more like a guide in his own cultivation, giving direction and reminders.

“Does Teacher Ren have any good methods?

I want to make up for my shortcomings.”

He said earnestly.

“Of course.

How about this, the Nanhuang Daoist School is nearby, Mr.

Qin can come with me, and I’ll personally demonstrate the ‘Inner Breath Unmoving, Vertical Qi like Thunder’ that Martial Artists pursue.”

…

…

About half an hour later, Qin Shi followed Ren You to the vast open area east of Old Factory Street, where there used to be abandoned, decaying, idle factories.

Now it had started to be demolished and rebuilt, gradually being cleared into an open area, with several construction teams working busily, the scene bustling with activity and noise.

It was expected that it wouldn’t take long before various orderly buildings would rise from the ground.

“The Nanhuang Daoist School will be located here in the future.

Mr.

Qin, look, these are the plots of land Tai’an allocated to us.”

Ren You drew a large circle with his hand, almost encompassing several streets.

Not to mention a Daoist School, it was enough to build a large sports arena.

You could see that Tai’an had truly invested heavily.

If these lands were used for selling buildings or developing industrial parks, it would probably be a billion-dollar project.

This also reflected the prominence and importance of the Nanhuang Daoist School’s reputation.

“Yu Hai City Construction.”

Out of the corner of his eye, Qin Shi saw a somewhat familiar company logo and frowned.

“What’s the matter?

Mr.

Qin, do you know this company?

We are new here, and many things are unclear.”

Ren You observed keenly and noticed the change in Qin Shi’s expression, so he took the initiative to ask.

“I’ve never had contact with them, but I’ve heard some bad rumors.

They were responsible for the demolition of Old Factory Street earlier and caused a lot of negative news.”

Qin Shi spoke calmly, without embellishment or slander.

His personal preferences couldn’t influence the bidding decisions of the Nanhuang Daoist School.

“I see.”

Ren You nodded and did not say more.

He led Qin Shi to a temporarily renovated Daoist School, following an ancient design style.

The main gate was vermilion red, exuding a sense of nobility.

Stepping inside, there was a wide front courtyard paved with smooth flagstones, black tiles, white walls, lush trees, and bamboo groves, full of charm.

“It’s only been a few days, and they’ve created such a place to stay.

Truly exceptional foundation.”

Qin Shi marveled inwardly, filled with imagination and anticipation for the legendary master of the Nanhuang Daoist School.

He must be an old senior with an immortal demeanor and extraordinary bearing!

…

…

Walking through the corridor into the backyard, the natural scenery of rockeries and pools made one feel relaxed.

Ren You led Qin Shi to a room, which had a completely different style compared to the outside.

Sturdy and resilient, the cold, metallic floor seemed like an oversized steel plate was laid underneath.

The walls were the same, smooth and shiny, reflecting human shadows.

The space was exaggeratedly large, with a strong sense of depth.

“Mr.

Qin, this is the training room.”

Ren You put on a miniature headset and then said:

“Xuanming, set up the scene.”

In a blink of an eye, crisscrossing beams of light appeared.

Within seconds, the empty, dark room transformed into a crowded highway.

Qin Shi was amazed.

When he reached out to touch the car, he felt a quite real tactile feedback.

“‘Xuanming’ is the ‘Awareness Body’ developed by the Nanhuang Daoist School.

It’s like ‘Crimson’ from Qiguang Heng University and ‘Queen Bee’ from Jia Kai Science University.

They are collections of electronic consciousness, specialized in handling complex tasks and maintaining various facilities.

However, the electronic lockdown level in Dangyang East Suburb is higher, not as relaxed as in the Tai’an Metropolitan Area, so we only transplanted part of Xuanming’s consciousness, enabling auxiliary functions for cultivation and living.”

Ren You explained.

The Old Martial Sect didn’t seem that old-fashioned.

Qin Shi thought to himself.

Even this kind of electronic awareness body was being used.

“Mr.

Qin, pay attention.”

Standing more than ten meters away, Ren You effortlessly lifted a car like it was a shot put and hurled it forcefully.

The whistling wind rushed towards him.

Qin Shi stood firm, raised his fist, and punched out.

With a “thud,” the car’s front caved in.

The violent force surged through, crushing the entire vehicle as if it had been severely hit.

The headlights and windows shattered, and the deformed car fell powerless to the side.

“This is your lack of control over power.”

Ren You, wearing the headset, repeated the transmitted voice.

“Mr.

Qin, why don’t you try throwing a car at me?”

Qin Shi regulated his breath, drawing the heat throughout his mortal body.

He opened his arms to embrace a car, lifting it slowly as if holding a heavy object, and pushed it towards Ren You.

The latter extended his hand and gently moved it with just two fingers.

The moment he touched the heavy vehicle, his body expanded like a black hole, instantly absorbing the enormous kinetic energy capable of crushing flesh and bones, deftly redirecting the force and setting the car aside.

This scene made Qin Shi’s eyes light up.

“The so-called ‘Inner Breath Unmoving’ means that in combat, to remain undefeated, one must always maintain a stable center without external forces disrupting one’s stance.

‘Vertical Qi like Thunder’ means that the force must be fast, fierce, and smooth, reaching every part of the body.”

Ren You relayed the spirited words from the headset.

“Strong muscles produce explosive strength, strong bones generate divine power, strong skin results in skillful strength, and strong membranes create flexible strength.

Mr.

Qin, you have explosive strength and divine power but lack skillful and flexible strength.”

Qin Shi pondered, feeling it was indeed the case.

He sincerely said:

“Teacher Ren, could you teach me?”

Ren You waved his hand, and the highway scene dissipated, replaced by a normal martial arts ring.

He placed his right hand in the front, pushing out with a palm, and his left hand in a guarding position, forming a stable stance.

“Mr.

Qin, your muscles are strong enough, but your bones are still somewhat lacking.

Our Nanhuang Daoist School has a not-so-profound ‘Inner and Outer Divine Courage and Strength Qi Cultivation’ that you can learn if you wish.”
