Chapter 79 He's Going to Kill Someone with His Move

The concept of bioelectricity is discussed in detail in "Cold Steel," as it is an important part of the new technology.

“That’s right. The reason your hand was numb and you couldn’t move it just now was because I cut off your nerve conduction,” Zhou Qing nodded.

This disciple is indeed quick to understand; he grasped the essence of Qi cultivation immediately after just a brief experience.

"Master, if someone can sever the nerve conduction of others with just a touch, then aren't Qi Refining Martial Artists and Body Tempering Martial Artists worlds apart?" Chen Wujun asked with some doubt.

As Senior Brother Li once said, it's not uncommon for a Body Tempering Martial Artist to kill a Qi Refining Martial Artist if they are exceptionally talented.

"Who said that refining Qi can sever someone's nerves?" Zhou Qing retorted.

Chen Wujun understood this time.

Zhou Qing was just letting himself experience the difference; it doesn't mean that Qi Refining can achieve this level.

"Everyone has bioelectric currents in their body. Each of your cells is like a miniature battery that can absorb and release bioelectric currents. Your heart is your bio-generator..."

"Your brain is a never-ending bioelectric storm composed of hundreds of billions of neurons. All your thoughts, memories, and emotions are products of these complex electrical activities... This is the foundation of biological existence."

"The so-called Qi Refining is when you completely control yourself, use various methods to control and enhance the bioelectric current in your body, and then continuously stimulate and temper your body and internal organs."

"In battle, this current is transformed into a more powerful force and released; this is Qi."

"Although Qi cultivation and internal strength are different, the principles are the same."

"Don't be fooled by the mystical things in those ancient books, like how internal strength requires the six yin to be complete and the unity of heaven and man. It's just that science hadn't developed to that level before. The ancients knew the reasons but not the inevitability. They knew the phenomena but didn't understand the essence."

"Our predecessors were able to practice and experience it, but they didn't know how to explain it, so they summarized a set of explanations based on their practice and imagination. Later generations, however, found these explanations obscure and difficult to understand."

Every time Zhou Qing lectures, he sets aside those mysterious and abstruse concepts and explains them using modern science.

This makes it more accessible and easier to understand, so that Chen Wujun can grasp it immediately.

Another reason is that, given Chen Wujun's cultural background, if Zhou Qing were to talk about those profound and mysterious concepts like "the Dao arises from nothingness and gives rise to one Qi, from which Yin and Yang are produced," he might not be able to understand them.

After listening, Chen Wujun pondered for a long time and came to understand some things:
"Master, the new technique is like a battery, constantly charging the body, causing it to gradually undergo a transformation..."

"The old technique involves controlling and strengthening the body's bioelectric currents, much like a generator generating its own electricity."

"That's mostly right." Zhou Qing nodded slightly.

"Then, when we were practicing standing meditation before, we needed to use magnetic field crystals to activate and strengthen the bioelectric current in each part of our body... Isn't that similar to the new technique?"

Chen Wujun had been thinking about this question since he watched "Cold Steel".

The Cold Steel fighting techniques offer an extremely comprehensive analysis of the new techniques.

"The two are not inherently opposed; they simply have different foundations, but ultimately they lead to the same goal. Over the years, the new techniques have absorbed some elements of the old techniques, while the old techniques have also absorbed many elements of the new techniques," Zhou Qing explained with a smile.

"I understand." Chen Wujun breathed a sigh of relief. Zhou Qing's explanation had clearly dissected the principle, which made him understand a lot.

"Master, how exactly do you cultivate Qi?"

“To cultivate Qi, one must adhere to one’s original intention and subdue the restless mind… one must unite one’s mind and will, and one’s will and Qi. Whatever kind of mind you have, that’s the kind of will you should connect with, and then use your will to subdue your other chaotic thoughts,” Zhou Qing said slowly.

"Think carefully about what's in your heart. This is the path you will take from here on out, and then solidify your resolve. Whether it's justice or greed, benevolence or tyranny, when you practice your boxing, you must concentrate your strength into one force. Now, you must concentrate your heart into one force!"

So when he saw Chen Wujun perform a set of Swimming Dragon Palms with a fierce aura, he didn't correct him, because it was Chen Wujun's own technique.

To cultivate Qi, one must adhere to one's original intention, subdue the restless mind, and unleash one's inner strength. Whatever one's original intention may be, as long as one can carry it through to the end, it will become one's own path.

As Chen Wujun listened, he felt that this was very similar to the new technique.

The more advanced a master of a new skill becomes, the more steadfast they must be in their belief. Therefore, the more skilled they are, the more convinced they are of their conviction, and the more obsessive they become.

However, as my master just explained, he also knows that new and old techniques can learn from each other and complement each other's strengths.

Even before new techniques were developed, old techniques already had the concept of the harmony between mind and intention, and the harmony between intention and spirit.

So this is probably because the new technique absorbed some elements of the old technique from the very beginning.

"No one can help you refine your Qi; you must subdue your own heart and transform it into a single force," Zhou Qing concluded.

Actually, there is a shortcut to Qi cultivation, but he doesn't intend to teach it.

There are no shortcuts to mastering skills; all shortcuts will eventually come at a price.

"So what is my true intention? What is my path?" This thought popped into Chen Wujun's mind.

"I want money, I want to buy mansions and luxury cars... I want everyone to respect me and fear me, I want to become a big shot... I want to be shrewd and decisive, and if anyone offends me, I will fight back on the spot and get my revenge..."

Chen Wujun felt his mind was in complete disarray.

He didn't know when Zhou Qing left.

He had originally intended to ask his master about Tongbei Quan (a style of Chinese martial arts) so that he could offer some comments when he tried Li Wei's kung fu in a few days, but at this moment he completely forgot about it. His mind was filled with all sorts of chaotic thoughts; he wanted everything, and he wanted everything to go his way and be as he wished.

……

On a road near the walled city, a gray sedan was parked on the side of the road, and a tall white man in the back seat spoke.

"According to our information, he takes this route every Tuesday."

"Why don't you go find his master? He and Shark Nine use the same boxing style; they're from the same school," a Hua Yan man asked.

“His master’s name is Zhou Qing… but there’s no record of him. He’s a troublesome person,” the white man said casually.

In fact, they had already investigated Zhou Qing long ago, and even sent people to keep an eye on him for a long time, but they couldn't even get a single photo of his face.

The people sent there couldn't even find Zhou Qing; they even returned in a daze after entering the residential area.

This made them realize that Zhou Qing was not someone to be trifled with. In addition, Zhou Qing did not cause trouble, and there was no evidence that he was involved in any case. They simply put Zhou Qing aside.

"You'll show up and talk to him first in a bit."

"A kid who just graduated from high school... I might be able to fool him with a few words..."

……

As Chen Wujun walked back, his mind racing, his basic vigilance had diminished considerably.

He only woke up when he was almost at the city wall and someone stopped him six or seven meters ahead.

"Chen Wujun, right? Come on in the car and let's talk?" A tall, imposing Huayan man looked down at him with a condescending expression.

Chen Wujun's mind was filled with all sorts of chaotic thoughts, and he had no mood to chat with anyone else, especially since the other person's gaze made him very unhappy.

Want to chat in the car? Let me see if you're good enough for me!

Without uttering a word, he stomped his feet, arched his body, and lunged forward like a tiger descending a mountain, striking his opponent with a powerful palm strike, as if wielding a giant axe, swiftly and fiercely aimed at his opponent's chest.

The other party was startled by Chen Wujun's sudden move, and then flew into a rage.

What a vicious person!
He didn't even know who he was, yet he was ready to kill someone just because they blocked his way!
The man immediately unleashed his full strength, blocking outwards with his arm. As their arms collided, the man felt a tremendous force coming from the other side, as if it were a road roller, and he immediately took a step back.

Chen Wujun stepped forward and unleashed a double palm strike, channeling power to his four extremities. His sleeves slapped against his body, producing a loud crackling sound like a whirlwind.

At the same time, he silently raised his foot and stepped on the man's instep.

Known for its agility and balance of strength and gentleness, the Swimming Dragon Palm, when unleashed in his hands, is like a ferocious tiger ready to devour its prey, each move exuding a bloodthirsty aura.

The man felt a stench assault his nostrils and was terrified by Chen Wujun's ferocity, breaking out in a cold sweat. He recoiled backward and hissed:
"Federal Police, are you trying to kill a police officer?"

"Federal Police?" Chen Wujun was about to give chase when he heard this word and stopped, looking at the other party suspiciously.

What do the federal police want with me?
The man stared at Chen Wujun with a hint of anger, still somewhat shaken.

What an aggressive fighting style.

Even though they had seen the videotape and knew that Chen Wujun was ruthless, they realized that facing this kid in person was completely different from watching the video.

If the opponent's fighting style is so fierce, and I don't speak up to stop them in time, one of us will be down in just a few moves.

The other person has only graduated from high school less than a year ago?
"What do the federal police want with me? Officer, have I done anything wrong?" Chen Wujun stood still, straightened up, and quickly scanned the area before his eyes landed on a gray sedan.

The car door was already open, and the people inside were watching, preparing to get out and provide assistance.

"Killing someone in broad daylight and you're not guilty? But I'm not here to cause you trouble. Let's talk in the car."

"Why don't you call your men down to talk?" Chen Wujun said.

How could he possibly get on the bus? He'd be in a difficult position then.

"It's not a good place to talk, is it?" The man glanced around.

Chen Wujun glanced around and looked at the alley entrance not far away. There were passages in both directions, and the area was crowded with people, making it easy to escape.

"Over there!"

Hua Yan glanced in the direction of the car; this kid didn't seem so easy to fool.

Then I followed Chen Wujun over there.

The white man in the car frowned. This kid was so fierce; he didn't say a word but his moves were deadly.

Moreover, it was their special mission department that approached him just now, but now, after just a few words, they've become the ones following him; the roles of primary and secondary personnel have immediately reversed.

After a moment's thought, he decided to get out of the car and walk towards the two of them.
