Chapter 98: 【091】Three-Body Posture Perfected, Two Horses Difficult to Pull

Zheng Dongliang’s apartment is indeed luxurious. As Wang Longhu walked in, he saw many things he had desperately wanted during university, but had given up on buying after graduation due to a busy work life.

For example, the PS5, Switch, DJI drones, and Marvel DC collectibles—all toys that could excite most guys beyond belief.

The most outrageous thing was a 2-meter-tall Iron Man Hulkbuster model placed in the corner of the living room, truly opening Wang Longhu’s eyes.

"Make yourselves at home, there’s drinks in the fridge, snacks in the storage compartment. You all know the drill, I won’t be playing host, I’ll just go order some takeout for you," Zheng Dongliang said and headed to his bedroom.

Zhou Juanjie, Li Yao, and the others who came along all found places to lie down as if they were at home, clearly showing the great relationship between them.

[Name: Wang Longhu]

[Strength: 2.00]

[Physique: 2.20]

[Spirit: 0.99]

[Skills: Basic Fitness Lv3 (100/300), Three-Body Pose Lv4 (395/400), Xingyi Boxing Lv4 (100/400), Lightweight Skill Lv3 (220/300), Baji Fist Lv2 (70/200)]

[Potential Points: 0]

Through his relentless practice of the Three-Body Pose in recent days, Wang Longhu had increased its proficiency to 395, just 5 points away from leveling up.

Anyone, compulsive or not, would want to make up those last 5 points right now, and Wang Longhu was no exception.

After sitting in the car all morning, unlike the others who went to rest, Wang Longhu went to the balcony to find a quiet corner to immerse himself in standing in the Three-Body Pose, while refining his internal organs with Dark Force.

Although he wasn’t in a dangerous environment to steal heavenly secrets, to get these last 5 points, Wang Longhu was determined to achieve it within a day.

Buzzing!

Seeing Wang Longhu’s actions outside on the balcony and hearing the Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound coming from his body, the group of rich second-generation in the living room couldn’t help but start quietly discussing.

"Brother Hu is just too diligent. No matter where or when, he keeps practicing martial arts. I wasn’t even this diligent when preparing for my college entrance exams."

"Brother Hu is only a few years older than us and can fight four brawny men by himself. Do you think he relies on some golden finger or system hack? It’s definitely all due to Brother Hu’s own hard work and efforts."

"It’s so inspirational. While others play, he practices martial arts; while others rest, he still practices. Brother Hu deserves to be so powerful. I’m truly not envious."

Completely engrossed in the standing pose, Wang Longhu was unaware of how this group of wealthy second-generation was discussing him. He was fully absorbed in the process of refining his internal organs with Dark Force.

Throughout this process, Wang Longhu’s internal energy flowed through the body’s fourteen meridians, allowing him to gradually discover many subtle details he hadn’t noticed during the Ming Jin stage.

Think of the human torso and limbs as a single iron pipe with four iron pipes branching off, where each of these five pipes is filled with dense small holes, known as the body’s acupoints.

Vital energy, like water, fills the inside of the five pipes. The more water there is, the heavier the pipes, and the stronger the power unleashed when exerted. This is Ming Jin.

In the initial stage of Internal Boxing, one must refine the vital essence into Qi, sealing the pores, nourishing Qi within the body, with it rising to the temples and sinking to the Guanyuan Acupoint. With time, this enhances bodily functions, making the pipes harder and more resilient.

Throughout the process, the small holes on the pipes remain sealed. If one leaks, the whole body leaks, causing fatigue, which is a major taboo during combat for martial artists.

However, this requirement is broken during the practice of Dark Force.

Spraying water from the small holes without leaking energy can be considered the achievement of Dark Force. When one can spray water from all the small holes without leaking, it is the realm of Huajin.

Force reaching the teeth, tongue, nails, and hair; with Dark Force pervading the body, it becomes ’a feather cannot be added, a fly cannot land’.

This is also the highest realm recorded in Xingyi Boxing for martial artists.

In the process of refining the internal organs with Dark Force, Wang Longhu was gradually becoming familiar with body acupoints other than the hands. Over time, he realized that besides his hands, he could also emit Dark Force from other parts of his body, inching towards the door to Huajin.

"If one cannot achieve the Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound, a martial artist practicing Dark Force will only stop at this point. Without using Dark Force to penetrate the entire body, regulate internal organs, and exercise them, it is impossible for mana to reach the four extremities. Internal Boxing truly is wondrous."

Understanding a few unanswered questions, Wang Longhu couldn’t help but reveal a trace of a happy smile.

This feeling was like someone encountering a computer for the first time, managing to properly download an online game from the official website purely through personal exploration.

Although this path had always existed, under the absence of a guide, namely a traditional martial arts master, he had blazed a correct trail purely on his own.

Wang Longhu’s comprehension and talent in martial arts were remarkable even among martial artists.

...

As the city lights turned on, Fu City began to display its nocturnal beauty.

Standing on the balcony, overlooking the nighttime scenery of the city center from this land-expensive high-end residential block, gazing at the immense dynamic advertising screens on distant skyscrapers, even the air was filled with the scent of money.

Wang Longhu slowly opened his eyes, his tongue pressed against the roof of his mouth as he exhaled a long breath.

Even though it was already early June and the weather was stuffy, Wang Longhu still emitted a two-foot-long line of white mist from his mouth, condensed and not dispersing, truly miraculous, making the Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound coming from his body seem ordinary in comparison.
