Chapter 54: Basics, nuances
Feng Yuancheng sighed, and continued:
"I asked my master yesterday...he told me that mastering and proficiency in a formidable real martial art will bring more strength than a breakthrough in cultivation! He also said that even if I complete the transformation of true energy and break through to the second level of martial arts , as long as you don't master the true essence martial arts, you still won't be this Mu Lei's opponent!"
Chen Fan couldn't help but frown. Feng Yuancheng's foundation was strong, and he was rare among the core disciples, but the master said that even if his cultivation level surpassed Mu Lei's, he might not be able to beat him.
Curious in his heart, he couldn't help asking: "How powerful is the true essence martial art?"
In Feiling County, whether to win or not, moves are important, but the most important thing is strength and experience.
Skills may help, but Chen Fan never expected to be able to overcome the difference in foundation and strength.
Although Lin Qingyu's true essence martial arts were formidable back then, they did not reach the level that made Chen Fan completely unmatched!
Feng Yuancheng shook his head: "At the stage of true martial arts, martial arts are no longer just the mastery of moves, but are divided into different realms. From the beginning to the proficiency of martial arts, it is only the basic realm, and there is a higher realm above it, called subtlety! "
"Into the smallest details, in the smallest details..."
Chen Fan couldn't help being stunned when he heard the words, and said in surprise:
"Then Mu Lei has reached the state of subtlety?"
Feng Yuancheng shook his head and said:
"Being subtle is a big hurdle. Even among our core disciples, there are not many who have mastered the realm of subtlety. If he has reached the level of subtlety, let alone me, if he crosses the realm, there may not be many martial arts in our Baiyun Gymnasium. It's his opponent!"
"However, although Mu Lei has not reached the subtleties, he is not far from the basic level. His comprehension is good, he has realized the secret skills, and the moves have increased quite dramatically. Not to mention the first level of martial arts, among the second level disciples of our Baiyun Gymnasium, there is also Few realize the secret technique..."
Chen Fan was also a little dazed. It turned out that after the real martial arts, there were so many twists and turns, and the martial arts were so powerful.
After all, the Baiyun main library is different from when I was in the branch library. Those great geniuses at that time can be seen everywhere here.
Feng Yuancheng didn't stay for too long, and bid farewell to Chen Fan in a hurry.
Chen Fan also frowned deeply.
Don't dare to underestimate it.
After all, this is Yandu City, where geniuses gather together. Randomly pick out one of the core disciples, and they are all the top warrior geniuses in Feiling County.
Although the opponent is only at the first level of martial arts, it may not be easy to deal with...
I definitely can't be careless.
Thinking of this, Chen Fan couldn't help laughing. I don't know when, I no longer look down on the first and second levels of martial arts. The problem is, I haven't started to practice real skills yet.
...
The news that Chen Fan, as the owner of the pavilion, was challenged and won easily spread quickly.
There were also more people who became curious about Chen Fan.
After all, Chen Fan was really too young.
Among all the core disciples, there are few who are as old as Chen Fan!
And after Xiao Chunkong and others challenged Chen Fan, others began to think about it.
Chen Fan and Xiao Yurong fought for only one day, but he received another challenge invitation from others!
The challenger this time was only sixteen years old, and he was only an internal martial artist, not even a core disciple.
The bet was not as big as Xiao Chunkong and others, but it was worth fifty taels of silver.
"He still dared to challenge me when he knew that I had defeated Xiao Yurong, which shows that this person has a lot of self-confidence..."
Chen Fan frowned, he was so confident at the age of sixteen, he was obviously a genius!
Chen Fan naturally would not refuse.
Come to the ring.
In this battle, there were many more people watching the battle, and there were even many non-core disciples!
But the result disappointed Chen Fan, this young man was not too powerful.
Chen Fan took down his opponent in less than ten moves, and he didn't feel the pressure of the battle at all.
"If you still have this strength next time, don't challenge me again, it's a waste of time!"
Chen Fan stood on the ring, looking coldly at the audience around him.
Chen Fan's foundation and vitality at this time are so strong that it is unimaginable. He is much stronger than Feng Yuancheng who has practiced two sets of first-class cheats, let alone other people!
The strength of this young man is not as high as Chen Fan imagined, and he is just around the same level as Xiao Yurong.
As soon as this statement came out, the boy's face turned red, he was filled with shame and anger.
The reason why Chen Fan said this was because he was looking forward to the battle with stronger players.
Without pressure, how can we talk about progress?
Going out to find an opportunity for epiphany, after all, is not as convenient as gaining insight in battle!
Mu Lei and Xiao Yurong were also watching the battle.
Xiao Yurong frowned, turned to look at Mu Lei: "How about it, do you have the confidence to defeat Chen Fan?"
Mu Lei raised his eyebrows: "Based on his current strength, I can beat him three or five times, but this kid is more than capable, obviously still has more strength, I don't know how much strength he has retained..."
That is, a complete victory cannot be guaranteed.
Xiao Yurong was helpless: "Brother will come back tomorrow, I wonder if he can get any useful information..."
...
The next day, Lin Shiyu received a letter from Feiling County, and at the same time, Xiao Chunkong rushed back from Feiling County!
It didn't take long for the exact information about Chen Fan's strength to spread in Baiyun gymnasium...
Everyone also knows why Chen Fan was accepted as a disciple by the museum owner at such a young age.
Chen Fan is the number one expert under the age of 18 in Feiling County!
Fourteen years old, the first person in the county!
Many people directly called it the first genius in Feiling County.
After hearing the news, those Inner Breath Realm fighters, or those who just started to practice real kung fu, completely gave up the idea of challenging Chen Fan to earn resources.
Only those who refuse to admit defeat, or those who are confident in their own strength, still have the heart to challenge.
Compared to Yandu City, Feiling County is nothing, but it is also a large county with a population of one million!
As for the Baiyun Gym, although it is amazing and has many talents, it is only one of the big martial arts gyms in Yandu City. If you want to find someone who can perform as amazingly as Chen Fan, it is not impossible, but it is very rare.
As for those who are stronger in martial arts among the core disciples, they can't save face to challenge a disciple in the inner breath state.
"Damn, this kid is so terrifying at all?! I said how dare he accept our challenge so casually!"
Xiao Chunkong and the others got together, their faces getting uglier than the other.
After learning about Chen Fan's details, these people naturally dare not underestimate him!
Although at the same level of cultivation, the strength of the core disciples of the Baiyun Headquarters is much higher than that of the geniuses of Feiling County, they dare not underestimate Chen Fan and other outliers.
Mu Lei said speechlessly:
"This kid seems to have just turned fourteen! Outrageous!"
In fact, in the eyes of the core disciples, the number one person under the age of 18 in Feiling County may not be very powerful.
Many people with poor foundation practiced real kung fu ahead of time, and their strength is still very strong at a younger age.
People with second-class roots such as Yu Xingzheng and Ge Yuantong, even if they practice real skills in advance, they will not be afraid of the future.
But the problem is that Chen Fan's age is there, he is less than fourteen years old!
Its ability to defeat other fighters to win the championship shows that it is born with vitality and strong foundation, so it cannot be underestimated.
Xiao Yurong pursed her lips: "Hmph, I knew, you guys do this every day, and sooner or later you kick the iron plate, don't even think about it... how can ordinary people be easily accepted as disciples by the owner of the gymnasium!"
Several people were also helpless. If they had known that Chen Fan was so powerful, at least they wouldn't let Xiao Yurong make the first move.
Although Mu Lei is strong, and even easily defeated Feng Yuancheng, but his strength is only at the first level of martial arts...
Xiao Chunkong took a deep breath, shook his head and said:
"It's useless to regret now. Mu Lei, you must be careful. He once defeated Feng Yuancheng head-on in the ring, and his strength is much higher than the latter... He dared to agree to fight you in half a month, which shows that he is confident. It will be stronger after half a month, it is very likely that you have already started to practice real kung fu, and you are confident that it is possible to complete the transformation of true energy in half a month. If it is really completed, based on his foundation, you will most likely not be his opponent... "
Mu Lei took a deep breath, "Complete the transformation of true energy?"
Feel the great pressure.
Bets worth thousands of taels of silver, even among the core disciples of the Baiyun Gym, rarely gambled with such a large amount!
Xiao Chunkong narrowed his eyes:
"There's still time, you don't have to practice the Great Eagle Claw Kung Fu in ten days or so, I have a primordial stone here, you take it first, and convert it into a real primordial as soon as possible, breaking through the second level of martial arts!"
Primordial stone is a special kind of ore, which contains rich vitality of heaven and earth, which can assist warriors in their cultivation of true essence.
Mu Lei shook his head: "It's easy to break through to the second level. I suppressed it on purpose. With primordial stones, I can easily achieve it, but the progress of muscle tempering can't be improved quickly... With one primordial stone, my strength can't be improved much... "
Xiao Chunkong gritted his teeth, took out a porcelain bottle, and said, "I still have a bottle of Juyuan Pill here, don't worry about the toxicity, eat a few more these few days, and improve your muscle tempering progress as much as possible... We must ensure 100% Defeat Chen Fan!"
Juyuan Dan is a kind of elixir that is beneficial to quenching true energy.
However, taking too much at one time will also accumulate toxicity and drug resistance, and the gain outweighs the gain.
Mu Lei also showed joy when he heard the words, and nodded repeatedly: "There is a bottle of Juyuan Pill, it must be fine!"
At the second level of Martial Arts, with the help of Juyuan Pill, Mu Lei doesn't say that he can completely temper his muscles, but it is still possible to save half a year of hard training, and his basic strength can be doubled.
At that time, relying on his strong eagle claw skills, it was naturally impossible for him to lose to Chen Fan!
...
As Chen Fan's true strength was revealed.
In the following days, few people would challenge Chen Fan again.
Chen Fan will not accept weak, non-core disciples.
The stronger ones, among the core disciples, the second and third levels of martial arts, all disdain to challenge Chen Fan, a martial artist with inner breath.
And Chen Fan is still "hard training" every day.
Two days before the half-month period, his "Baiyun Pine and Crane Palm" has completed a breakthrough.
"I finally broke through!"
After improving efficiency twice, coupled with the accumulation of various resources during this period, Chen Fan's "Baiyun Songhe Palm" finally broke through.
This is also the first first-class secret book he has mastered!
With the many herb packs he earned from the last competition, he had enough resources, and he didn't lose his vitality.
And during these times, he also completed all the moves of the dozen or so kung fu that he had improved at the beginning, but after the space was vacated, he did not immediately practice "Star Exercise"!
Instead, I chose to hang up the other three first-class strength training cheats in the main hall!
He has not yet touched the limit of blood, and the unique talent can help him quickly complete the accumulation. It would be a waste if he didn't use it!
"Star Exercise" just listen to the name, it is definitely not a kung fu in the strength training stage, and it is not too late to practice after the blood reaches the limit.
"The increase of my qi and blood has gradually slowed down. I have a hunch that I am not far from the limit of my qi and blood!"
With the help of many resources, Chen Fan reckons that he will be able to complete the five strength training kung fu in three to four months. By then, he should be able to reach the limit of energy and blood.
Chen Fan was delighted.
Even though the more he practiced, the worse the effect would be, but his strength has improved a lot in just half a month compared to when he first came to Yandu City!
If Yan Lincu was standing in front of him at this time, Chen Fan was confident that he could easily deal with him without using ten moves, and he would not give him a chance to fight a protracted battle with himself at all!
"If there is a breakthrough in the three skills of my hang-up in actual combat, I can reach the limit sooner. Mu Lei, don't let me down..."
