Wizard: I brought the wrong system.

Chapter 618 The Foundation of Martial Arts

Using magic to replace life force in cultivating internal energy has many flaws.

First of all, magic is not as compatible with life force. Cultivating with magic will not only erode the body, but also cause pain because the essence of cultivating internal energy with magic is 'trauma'. Pain may affect the cultivator's concentration and cultivation efficiency, and may even lead to the interruption of cultivation.

Moreover, magic power belongs to consciousness and is like water without a source in the body. It is continuously depleted during cultivation, and cultivators need to constantly replenish their magic power, which increases the complexity and time cost of cultivation.

Unlike vitality, which can gradually improve its internal strength and achieve self-improvement and breakthroughs as long as it follows the right path.

Of course, magic also has its advantages. Even if magic does not pursue a qualitative change in energy and does not need to become the ideal 'internal force', it can still be used as an extension of one's own limb and controlled at will.

Although Anabe failed to establish the Great Circulation, he did manage to open up the meridians in his lower limbs according to the "Swallowing Words Technique".

Based on these foundations, Anabe had the means to create his own techniques.

Anabe explained:

"Based on practice, it has been found that only the action of 'pushing' can maximize the power of the meridians in the 'Swallowing Word Technique'."

"Then, based on the combat techniques of the Manticore School and my personal combat experience, I carefully selected some moves and made minor modifications."

"These include front kick, back spin kick, side kick, back kick, and push kick..."

"..."

Just like the knee-jerk reflex only kicks forward, the meridian stimulation of the "Swallowing Words Technique" will only exert force in a fixed direction.

Anabe was able to come up with many moves that met the needs of actual combat, even with this kind of "assigned topic".

At the end of the book, there are also simple drawings of human figures with clearly defined muscle lines.

Yaro slowed down his reading pace, silently sighing to himself:
"Those who survive the test of time and live to old age are a veritable treasure trove."

These exquisite and simple drawings are of a very high standard.

With just a few strokes, he can depict the muscle lines of the human body with exceptional precision.

This demonstrates that Anabe had a very clear understanding of the distribution and structure of muscles in the human body, and that his level of 'human anatomy' was high.

This also shows that his painting skills are quite good.

Take a closer look at the actions in the simplified diagram.

Whether it's the way he exerts force, the angle of force exertion, or even from a practical combat perspective, Yaro cannot find any flaws.

Even Yaro himself wanted to learn.

This kind of legwork is something that Yaro lacks.

Yaro's footwork originated from 'cat-walking fist,' which imitates digitigrade animals.

Its advantages are high speed and explosive power.

The disadvantage is that it is not stable. It is suitable for fast movement and sprint attacks, but not for strong attacks, hard attacks, or defensive counterattacks.

The 'push-off' techniques summarized by Anabe are very similar to those of plantigrade animals... that is, how humans exert force.

It can be used as a pure leg attack.

It is also applicable to footwork, and can make full use of the strength of the arms and upper body, suitable for situations involving heavy lifting, slashing, and powerful attacks.

He's thinking about another problem now:
"Anab doesn't seem to value his combat skills very much?"

But that's right.

These combat techniques have nothing to do with the core power of the Witcher, and they are not even secret techniques.

But Yaro valued it highly.

Because these techniques are like a user manual for the human body, a direction for strengthening the body, and the foundation of martial arts moves!

You could even say that this is the foundation of martial arts!

……

"Very well written!"

Yaro breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head, and asked earnestly:

"Could you design more similar moves?"

Anabe shook his head slightly.

"Unless I can open up more meridians, but I have already cultivated the 'Qi and Blood Frenzy' to a certain stage, and I cannot expel the remaining life force of the 'Qi and Blood Frenzy' in a short time, so I cannot cultivate the entire 'Swallowing Word Technique' for the time being."

"Since most of the meridians in the Blood Word Technique are connected to the Blood and Qi Frenzy Technique, I absolutely cannot touch it."

"Unless you give me other key words, I can't design other moves specifically based on the new meridians and acupoints."

The residual vitality of "Blood Frenzy" is a legacy issue, and Yaro doesn't have a good solution for it.

Fortunately, the design concept of "Blood Frenzy" is relatively primitive and will not change the body's tissue structure. In addition, the demon hunter's body cannot generate life force on its own. As long as he does not continue to consume demon plants, the accumulated life force will eventually dissipate.

As for the new word formulas... the "Heaven-Mending Formula" should count, right?

But after Anabe took the "Heaven-Mending Manual" and flipped through it, he suddenly chuckled.

"I knew that you would design an even more sophisticated internal energy cultivation method while you were away for a few days. Fortunately, I didn't let anyone else practice the Bajiquan method this time, otherwise I would have caused others to lose their internal energy cultivation along with me."

"This……"

Yaro rubbed his nose awkwardly. "It can't be considered a more mature internal energy cultivation method, can it? The Eight Extremes Method is broad, while the Heaven-Mending Technique is specialized. They have different directions and there is no superiority or inferiority between them. So you don't need to abandon internal energy cultivation. I gave you this internal energy cultivation method just so you could take a look and see if you can refer to the meridians in it to design the moves."

"Does Dean Yaro believe that what we Witchers are doing does not fall under the category of 'Mending the Heart of Heaven'?"

Anabe spoke in a measured tone, his stiff expression making him appear exceptionally serious.

"Of course I didn't mean that."

Yaro quickly defended himself:

"I just feel that the Bajiquan method offers more options and makes it easier to achieve greater success."

"Since you already possess magic power and the threshold for cultivating internal energy is low, why not directly cultivate the 'Eight Extremes Method,' which offers a wider range of choices?"

"Even if we take a step back and assume that our internal strength cannot break through the limit, and the upper limit is only the level we have researched so far, the Eight Extremes Method, which cultivates the body in eight directions, is still better than the single Heaven-Mending Technique."

Yarrow spoke with both public and private motives.

The selfish motive is naturally for the sake of the moves.

The number of techniques created by cultivating eight sets of meridians is significantly greater than the number created by cultivating a single meridian.

Anabe seemed to understand Yaro's thoughts and explained:

"Dean Yalu, don't worry. I will continue to cultivate the Eight Extremes Method. After all, I will be the master of the martial arts holy land in the future. Although I won't be teaching martial arts, I still need to master the most comprehensive martial arts mental techniques, right?"

"Then you mean..."

"I want other demon hunters to learn the 'Heaven-Mending Technique'."

"why?"

Anabe countered, "Because the 'Heaven-Mending Technique' is already perfected and still has room for improvement, as for the 'Eight Extremes Technique'... it only has two key words right now. Can Dean Yaro guarantee that he will complete all the other key words before leaving?"

"Forehead……"

Yarrow was speechless.
