Transmitting the Technique
Chapter 26: Passing on the Technique (Please read on and add to your favorites!)
"It's just like combat practice. Just activate your fighting spirit and swing your sword," Tessie answered honestly.
"I see." Alphonse had a slight understanding. Battle Qi was like external martial arts, which simply focused on physical training.
Apart from the heart as the core, it does not involve the twelve regular meridians or the eight extraordinary meridians in the body.
In the martial arts world of the previous life, even if one's external skills were practiced to the extreme, they would not generate fighting spirit, and they were not comparable to internal energy cultivation methods that combined internal and external skills.
Both are extraordinary powers, but battle aura will radiate in all directions, which naturally affects its power and effect.
Moreover, battle qi can only be accumulated automatically through daily training, which is much less efficient than cultivating internal energy.
In other words, the power system in this other world is strange, as it can generate things like battle aura.
"How long have you been at the second level of Battle Qi?"
"It's been several years."
Are there any signs of a breakthrough?
There's not a single sign yet.
Hearing Tessie's reply, Alphonse smiled. "It seems your talent in battle aura is quite average. I don't think you'll have much of a future if you continue practicing. Your dream of slaying dragons and eating roasted meat will be very far away, and it will be difficult for you to reach a higher level. How about I teach you a way to practice something else?"
"What method? I don't have the talent to learn magic," Tessie said, puzzled.
"The extraordinary powers in this world aren't limited to martial arts and magic," Alphonse laughed even more heartily. "I'll teach you a completely new way of cultivation."
"What is it?" Tessie couldn't help but feel a little curious.
I'll teach you later.
Alphonse had no intention of returning to his room to meditate and cultivate for the time being. He had already rested for a while, and it wouldn't be too late to practice the "Yi Jin Duan Gu Pian" to enhance his physical fitness.
As the saying goes, "sharpening the axe won't delay the work of chopping wood," meaning that working on both fronts simultaneously is the right way.
But there was no intention to leave Taisi idle.
"Practice a few moves with me first."
After saying that, Alphonse struck a pose one by one, performing three or four movements before stopping. "Got it?"
Taixi nodded, completely bewildered.
"Hold each position for three minutes," Alphonse commanded him, and then began practicing himself.
It must be said that Tai Xi's lower body strength is quite solid; he can stand on one leg while carrying a large backpack without wobbling.
Of course, it could also be because he is short.
Alphonse already had a plan in mind: which internal energy cultivation method he would teach Tessi.
The Blood Demon Sect's Blood Fiend Demon Art would be very suitable.
This technique was originally created specifically for the assassins around the cult leader.
Although progress is rapid, there is a hidden danger: every full moon night, one's blood and qi will boil uncontrollably. If there is no way to resolve this, the danger will intensify, causing unbearable pain, until the meridians burst and one dies.
The cult leader himself inherited techniques that could temporarily alleviate the hidden dangers of the Blood Fiend Demon Art, as well as methods to trigger these hidden dangers, making it impossible for his bodyguards to betray him.
The slave contract may break free from its constraints because Taisi's fighting spirit has reached a higher level. The Soul-Seizing Technique is temporarily unable to control him, so we have to be wary of him.
Once he starts practicing the Blood Fiend Demon Art, he'll never be able to stop; practicing this art is addictive.
It doesn't matter if he doesn't understand meridians and acupoints. As long as you introduce true qi and guide it through a few times, he can remember the path of the exercise.
"What kind of nonsense are you practicing?"
A cold voice reached my ears.
Alphonse then noticed that Mia had somehow come over and was leaning against a tree trunk in the shade of a nearby tree, arms crossed, quietly watching them.
He couldn't project his divine sense outwards, so he couldn't detect how she approached him silently.
Tsk!
He glanced at Mia a couple more times.
Ah, her posture makes a certain part of her body look particularly "great".
She must have wrapped it tightly with cloth strips inside.
Although she was wearing a thick coat, which was a bit tight, it still couldn't hide it.
It's true that the greater the mass, the stronger the gravity.
"This is a special training method that can enhance physical fitness and improve talent." Alphonse didn't intend to keep it all from Mia. It would be best to pique her interest in the cultivation method so that he could tamper with the technique and completely turn her into one of his own.
Otherwise, she would always be loyal to her mother, and if something were to happen to her cheapskate mother, she might run away.
"That magical bard taught you that again, didn't he?" Mia was at her wit's end; she always got the same explanation.
"Haha, we get along really well."
Alphonse gave a perfunctory reply and continued his actions, striking a pose resembling Kui Xing kicking the Dipper.
"Hmph." Mia scoffed at Alphonse's statement, finding his posture odd. One hand was raised, the other lowered, and he used only one leg for support while the other was bent high as if he were about to kick something, yet he remained motionless.
He could barely stand; he was swaying unsteadily.
This can improve physical fitness?
Can it even enhance talent?
However, Alphonse was extremely exhausted. If he were in a normal state, he could remain unmoved by the winds.
"Do you want to learn? If you do, I can teach you," Alphonse said with a smile, his posture unchanged.
"Not interested!" Mia refused without hesitation.
Alphonse didn't mind. After spending a few days with her, he had a general idea of what was going on. Mia had a proud and confident nature, but she would eventually reach a bottleneck. When his strength surpassed hers and completely shattered her confidence, she would probably become interested in his cultivation method.
"How come you have so much free time to come and watch us train?"
"Madam asked me to come and see what you're doing," Mia replied coldly, and without waiting for Alphonse to continue, she turned and walked into the castle.
So it was Mother's order?
Alphonse smiled and changed to another gesture.
Something popped into my mind: Do bras even exist in this world?
That kind of thing should have a market in this other world, right?
After all, it can prevent sagging and has a lifting effect; you can even pad it to make it look fuller.
Mia, with her ample resources, doesn't need to use padding.
But where can you find a flexible underwire? Without one, it won't provide adequate support.
Alphonse only thought about it for a moment before putting the idea out of his mind.
tell you later.
It's not appropriate to ask Mia about this, nor is it appropriate to ask my cheap old mother. The market I'm dealing with is only the ladies and young women of noble families. Perhaps I can talk to Chloe about this next time I meet her.
Alphonse was unaware that Mia had returned to the castle and gone up to the second floor. Instead of going to Lady Mary's room, she found a window that offered a view of Alphonse and Tessie in the courtyard and quietly stood on the windowsill, spying on them.
The claim that it could enhance physical fitness and improve talent still caught her attention.
