Chapter 196: 0194 Quenching Intention

The skirmish ended with Shen Mengchen’s victory.

Ye Qiu began to teach her actual martial arts practice, starting with horse stance and involving Niu Yinyin as well.

"The horse stance is the foundation of all martial skills, also known as standing stake. To master the horse stance, first and foremost, it makes your lower body stable, strengthens your legs; next, it’s about cultivating Inner Strength. Training the horse stance is not the work of one day but needs to progress gradually," Ye Qiu walked ahead of Shen Mengchen and Niu Yinyin, explaining as he went.

"Shift your weight downward, gradually squatting deeper. Pay attention to your breathing rhythm, or you will quickly become unable to sustain it," Ye Qiu said as he corrected the two women’s postures.

"Ye Qiu, how long do we need to maintain it?" Shen Mengchen, starting to feel tired, asked.

"Start with ten minutes," Ye Qiu said. "Miss, can you hold out for ten minutes?"

"Hmph, don’t underestimate me," Shen Mengchen got riled up by Ye Qiu’s provocation, not wanting to be the butt of his jokes. She endured the soreness in her legs and continued with the horse stance.

Niu Yinyin seemed to have a lot of determination, taking it seriously and holding a smile despite her face turning red.

Ye Qiu paced back and forth in front of the two women, his gaze drifting intentionally or unintentionally over Shen Mengchen, whose half-squat pose and straight arms accentuated the scenery at her chest, making it even more enticing, like a balloon being squeezed.

At that moment, Shen Mengchen was struggling with her body and didn’t notice Ye Qiu’s sneaky glances; otherwise, she would have definitely glared back fiercely.

The ten minutes quickly passed, and Shen Mengchen really didn’t want Ye Qiu to laugh at her. She persevered, and surprisingly, Niu Yinyin also completed the ten-minute horse stance.

Ye Qiu allowed them to rest for a while before continuing the training, with the next horse stance practice lasting twenty minutes.

Shen Mengchen, with a defiant look, collapsed on the ground, massaging her legs and arms, while Niu Yinyin was still full of energy, running around everywhere.

Ye Qiu didn’t waste any time; he started to contemplate how to make up for his deficiencies.

Ever since the encounter with the mysterious figure, the impact on Ye Qiu was tremendous. Only by clashing with such an expert did Ye Qiu realize he had many shortcomings. Even details that seemed minor before could have become fatal flaws.

The most pressing issue was his bodily reaction speed; it had yet to fully reach the realm where his movements followed his heart without any gap. There was always a slight delay, which prevented Ye Qiu from evading the mysterious person’s attacks.

Realizing this significant weakness, Ye Qiu couldn’t ignore it; otherwise, in the future, he would continue to be defeated by others because of this one flaw.

When experts clash, a miss by a whisker can lead to a miss by a mile; one small oversight could mean the loss of a life.

Ye Qiu practiced his punches from a standing position, his speed increasing from slow to fast, and the direction consistently changing.

Soon, it caught the attention of Shen Mengchen and the others.

In their eyes, Ye Qiu’s fists were moving so fast they were dizzying, yet for Ye Qiu, they were still not fast enough.

He thought about punching, palm striking, poking, flicking, and other movements, observing whether his body could follow in the shortest possible time.

Human thoughts are the fastest, like lightning, a thought can pierce the sky; this is not just exaggeration, but it also signifies the incredibly fast speed of human thoughts, which can undergo considerable changes in a moment.

The body moves with the thoughts, and to train until thoughts initiate movement instantaneously, the body must react involuntarily.

Those who can achieve this are few and far between in the martial world.

Only through relentless refinement can one forge a devilishly fast reaction speed.

Ye Qiu had not noticed this point before, but now this discovery excited him, meaning that once he made up for this flaw, his strength would definitely improve.

Ye Qiu kept changing his boxing techniques, with various unpredictable moves, he was never in the same spot on the empty ground.

Still not fast enough!

Ye Qiu’s eyes were focused, deeply absorbed in practicing his skills, as if no one else was around, and he had a clear understanding of his own movements.

Not fast enough!

Needs to be faster!

The flurry of punches was dazzling, and at this moment, in front of the two women, it seemed as if there wasn’t just one Ye Qiu practicing boxing, but multiple Ye Qius, with the shadows of their punches and palms constantly appearing before their eyes, never disappearing.

Shen Mengchen opened her mouth in awe, as it was the first time she’d seen Ye Qiu practice boxing like this, breaking her perception of martial arts. So, a master could actually be so powerful, just the skill displayed by Ye Qiu before her eyes was enough to leave her astonished.

Ye Qiu practiced for a whole day, and Shen Mengchen, who had been practicing horse stance, was too tired to walk normally, but bear it she did, so as not to look weak in front of Ye Qiu, albeit the price she paid was hefty, as she lay in bed, busily applying hot water compresses that Shangguan Hong had given her.

"You, always competing with him, end up hurting yourself the most," Shangguan Hong said as she chided Shen Mengchen for her pointless rivalry, which now even made her afraid to walk.

"Hmph, I just don’t want to see that guy smirking," Shen Mengchen said through clenched teeth, her eyes flashing with stubbornness.

"You’re being reckless. How’s the company doing now?" Shangguan Hong tapped Shen Mengchen on the forehead and then inquired about the state of Longjia Corporation.

"Without Wang Jianguo, the company naturally follows my wishes," Shen Mengchen claimed.

"So, you now have full control over Longjia, congratulations," Shangguan Hong said sincerely.

"Shangguan Sister, why don’t you come help me in the future? With you around, I feel that Longjia will have even better development," Shen Mengchen earnestly suggested.

"Mengchen, my ambitions lie not in business. I want to live my own life," Shangguan Hong replied lightly.

Shen Mengchen didn’t press further, knowing that Shangguan Hong had always been pursuing her own life, and tying her to Longjia seemed to be actually not beneficial for Shangguan Hong.

The two women continued to chat, while on the other side, Ye Qiu was still engaged in relentless practice.

During the day, he practiced integration of intention and physique, while at night he sat in meditation to condense his True Qi, making it more refined.

To break through the True Qi realm, there was still a long way to go, at least until more acupoints were broken through could there be a glimmer of hope.

Once the Yongquan acupoint was opened, the recovery speed of True Qi increased, and with each Zhou Tian circulation within the body, a significant amount of True Qi was restored, which also tempered the organs throughout his body.

And so, Ye Qiu spent his days teaching Shen Mengchen and Niu Yinyin martial arts while practicing the harmony of intention and body, and before he knew it, half a month had passed.

During this time, many reporters wanted to interview Ye Qiu, but he rejected them all. There were also numerous paparazzi who tried to take secret photos, but naturally, they got nothing. With Ye Qiu, trying any sneaky moves was simply not feasible.

In that time, Ye Qiu’s skills had reached the goal he desired, truly achieving the unity of intention and motion.

However, even having achieved his goal, Ye Qiu still wasn’t completely confident that he could dodge the attacks of that mysterious person if they met again. That person’s strength felt like it was a whole level above his, and it was no longer merely about speed.

It was a kind of understanding that penetrated to the very marrow of martial arts, a realm above the True Qi level, something to look forward to indeed!
