Chapter 4
Sky-Piercing Hammer
Afternoon
As the "Ten Years to Cultivate People" training program gained traction in the morning, the original senior high school timetable was almost entirely replaced.
Zhang Haifeng made a sweeping decision: aside from one or two math classes a day to keep the brain active, almost all other courses were moved to online classes, leaving all martial arts students to study online at home in the evenings.
This matter did not cause any trouble. On the contrary, many students agreed and suggested that math classes should also be online, since they couldn't learn it anyway.
After all, in the martial arts student exam, the total score is 1000 points, with Qi and Blood level accounting for 500 points and martial arts skill level accounting for 400 points. All the cultural subjects such as Chinese, mathematics, English, history, geography, etc., add up to only 100 points, accounting for only 10% of the total score. It is no wonder that many martial arts students do not care much about the cultural subjects in their senior year of high school.
Many people even think that if they awakened their martial arts spirituality and received an extra 10% bonus to their overall score, they might as well stop studying academic subjects and focus on improving their Qi and Blood levels.
Even just one more level of Qi and Blood is a boost of nearly 50 points, which is much better than grueling memorization and practice problems.
"So, Brother Li, why don't we play a 'two-person fighting match' together tonight to relax? Even though the virtualization is only 90%, and it can only simulate the combat of an apprentice with level 5 health, it might actually help improve our martial arts skills."
As the morning martial arts competition approached, Zhou Yibai couldn't resist the urge to ask Li Xijun to duo queue with him that evening.
Li Xijun, who was still burdened with gambling loans, naturally had no interest in this and said directly, "The current virtual technology is fine for teaching knowledge and playing games, but if you really want to improve your martial arts skills, you should honestly practice and fight offline."
Zhou Yibai wanted to try harder, but Zhang Haifeng had already entered the classroom. As his sharp gaze swept around, all the martial arts students stood quietly and obediently in their respective positions.
After the classroom quieted down, Zhang Haifeng turned on the control screen on the wall with satisfaction. As the lights in the martial arts classroom became brighter, three humanoid bionic targets for practice appeared in the center of the classroom.
"This afternoon is martial arts class. As usual, we'll start with the practice of the 'Thirty-Six Forms of True Martial Arts.' Stop thinking about swords and weapons all the time. This set of fist techniques that coordinates your qi and blood with your body is what you should be learning the most."
"Otherwise... when you take the exam, if your Qi and Blood levels meet the requirements but your Strength and Speed tests don't, you'll be the ones who cry."
"Next, I will demonstrate the training method as usual and teach you the killing move of the first move. Please remember it carefully."
As he spoke, Zhang Haifeng demonstrated the moves, performing each technique with the agility of a black bear, leaving Li Xijun quite amazed.
The current seven basic cultivation methods are already very comprehensive in stimulating physical improvement and enhancing qi and blood.
However, simply having the right physical fitness and blood circulation is not enough. In a real battle, the true strength lies in how much power and speed you can unleash with your powerful physique.
Generally speaking:
The requirements for Level 5 are: 10 meters per second and a punching power of 200 kilograms.
The requirements for Level 6 are: 13 meters per second; punching power of 300 kilograms.
The requirements for Level 7 are: 15 meters per second and a punching power of 450 kilograms.
The requirements for Level 8 are: 18 meters per second; punching power of 800 kilograms.
Level 9 means reaching a speed of 20 meters per second and a punching power of 1000 kilograms.
Therefore, the "Thirty-Six Forms of Zhenwu," a martial art that integrates training and combat techniques, is simple to learn, and has strong universality, has become a key subject of practice for martial arts students across the country.
The entire set of techniques focuses on coordinating one's own physical body's qi and blood, with three fighting techniques serving as the markers for the three stages of "True Martial Thirty-Six Forms".
According to Zhang Haifeng in his second year of high school, if one could master the first two killing moves, it would mean that until becoming a martial artist, one could have complete control over the qi and blood of one's physical body and operate it at will, and would pass the strength and speed tests in the college entrance examination perfectly.
Even if you take a martial arts exam with your bare hands, you can still get a score of 320-350.
If one masters the third killing move, then one has reached the realm of a Transcendent Realm martial artist, which will greatly benefit one's martial arts cultivation.
As each move was completed, when Zhang Haifeng suddenly stretched out his arms, cupped them, and pressed them down, making a gesture resembling a white python shaking its scales, the rhythmic movement of his muscles exuded an astonishing and soul-stirring power.
In the next instant, his move suddenly changed. He raised his right hand, and a thunderous explosion was heard as his fist, the size of a sandbag, struck the head of the humanoid dummy. The entire dummy then slammed into the wall of the martial arts classroom with a loud 'boom'.
"See that? This is the ultimate move, the Sky-Grasping Hammer, which integrates the strength of one's own muscles."
"Next, I will break down the steps and small steps I just demonstrated, and you can try to practice along with me."
Zhang Haifeng began his usual rounds among the students, explaining as he went and adjusting their movements.
This time, Zhou Yibai was positioned a few positions ahead of Li Xijun, and Zhang Haifeng quickly came to his side.
The large palm of the hand, like a toy, helped him correct his steps and posture. When he was about to unleash his final killing move, the hand easily touched the joint connecting his arm and back halfway through the move. The arm was raised slightly, and the muscles in his back and thighs visibly twitched, making the sound of the fist cutting through the air extremely crisp.
The benefits of this kind of real-world training are incomparable to the combat training in virtual martial arts games.
I'm afraid that even if Zhou Yibai spent half a year playing in the virtual world, it wouldn't be as good as Zhang Haifeng's one personal guidance.
quickly,
Zhang Haifeng then surveyed Li Xijun's side, and after observing her for a moment, he revealed a very satisfied expression.
Perhaps it was because of his high spiritual level, or perhaps it was because Li Xijun was already very proficient in the "Thirty-Six Forms of True Martial Arts," and after Li Haifeng's demonstration, and through his own exploration, he had grasped some of the true essence of the killing move, the Sky-Grasping Hammer.
Especially when practicing the earlier moves, the integration of one's own muscle strength is very smooth.
So it wasn't until Li Xijun gathered all his strength to unleash his killing move that Zhang Haifeng seized the opportunity to deliver a palm strike from behind, causing Li Xijun's body to tremble.
"Bang!"
In an instant, the punch was thrown with lightning speed, tearing through the air and resounding throughout the entire martial arts classroom. Many students who were practicing couldn't help but turn around to look, revealing expressions of surprise.
Your mastery of the "Thirty-Six Forms of True Martial Arts" has increased from 87% to 90%.
"Holy crap! Brother Li, you've mastered it!"
Zhou Yibai, who was in front, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. He clearly remembered that Li Xijun's talent in learning martial arts was about the same as his.
"That was only a minor achievement. You have indeed laid a good foundation in the Thirty-Six Forms of True Martial Arts. Only when your punches are as powerful as thunderclaps from a flat ground will you be considered a master."
"The teacher can only help you get a feel for martial arts techniques. You have to practice on your own and be able to execute them consistently before you can say you've mastered them and can use them in real combat."
"Remember that feeling; practice more and it will truly become your own!"
That's what he said, but seeing how quickly some of his students had improved after his guidance, Zhang Haifeng was still quite satisfied and said a few more words.
"And Zhou Yibai, you should practice properly. If you keep interrupting during class, you'll be asking your parents to come!"
He turned around and scolded Zhou Yibai a few times, just as Zhang Haifeng continued to walk back and teach the students.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Three identical, explosive punches that tore through the air silenced the entire martial arts classroom so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
This caused almost everyone in the classroom to focus their attention on the boy who calmly threw a punch.
The students in the martial arts class were surprised to find that someone in their class was so talented in martial arts. Zhou Yibai couldn't help but show a hint of jealousy and envy.
However, only Zhang Haifeng, a martial arts instructor for many years, noticed that when Li Xijun threw punches in succession, the power and posture of the punches were exactly the same, with almost no change. His eyes widened involuntarily, his pupils contracted, and he suddenly seemed to realize something, his heart pounding rapidly.
However, the bear-like teacher did not show any unusual reaction on the spot. He just continued to shout loudly, telling the students to keep practicing hard, while he himself taught the remaining students as if nothing had happened.
Li Xijun, who had just given a stunning performance, remained equally unmoved.
Perhaps others, after mastering a move with the teacher's help, would need to practice and solidify it continuously. However, the characteristic of "once proven, always proven" allowed Li Xijun to remember the feeling almost instantly after performing the move "Heavenly Hammer" and solidify it directly.
The reason he so blatantly displayed his talent was naturally to showcase it and seek the teacher's attention and the school's resources.
This world doesn't suppress or question martial arts geniuses, and it's even less likely to detect their Great Luo Mark.
In particular, with the promotion of the "Ten-Year Cultivation Program," countless brilliant talents will emerge from the Great Yan Dynasty to the Federation, striving to become Martial Saints within ten years.
Isn't it normal that Li Xijun is a martial arts genius who can learn anything in no time?
