Above the source of Tao

On a quiet afternoon, Yun Chang'an sat in his simple room, flipping through the "Canyang Fist" technique he got from the Sutra Pagoda. Although he was also interested in the "Zhengyang Sword Technique", he decided to put aside the idea of ​​learning swordsmanship for the time being due to the lack of a sword that he was familiar with.

Recalling what Master Laiyang said during the class, Yun Changan knew that any exquisite boxing technique not only relies on the exquisiteness of the moves, but also on the physical strength of the caster. Only by training one's own vitality and body to the extreme can one use the Qi-inducing Technique to make every punch have a power beyond that of ordinary people. Such power can even surpass the full force of an ordinary person holding a weapon.

Immersed in the world of "The Falling Sun Fist", Yun Changan spent three hours and finally understood the contents of this secret book. According to the book, this set of boxing techniques can use the vitality in the body to smash a huge rock into pieces with just one punch.

There are five fist styles in "The Settling Sun Fist", namely "Gathering Sun", "Carrying Mountain", "Opening Mountain", "Splitting Earth" and "Breaking Sun". Each style has its unique power and use.

The first move is called “Gathering Yang”, which involves gathering one’s own energy in both hands and attacking with all one’s strength, with the force being ten times that of ordinary boxing.

The second move is "Carrying the Mountain". As the name suggests, this move is defensive. It mobilizes one's own vitality to form a natural barrier that can withstand the enemy's full-strength attack.

The third and fourth moves are "Opening Mountains" and "Splitting the Earth", which involve mobilizing all of yourself, concentrating on your entire arms, and punching forward. When the moves are perfected, they can have the effect of opening mountains and splitting the earth, so these two moves are called "Opening Mountains" and "Splitting the Earth".

The fifth move is a unique skill of this boxing method, named "Smashing Yang". The creator of this method created this fifth move after mastering the first four moves. The first move is to mobilize the whole body's flesh and one's own vitality, and throw punches faster and stronger, until the strength is exhausted, otherwise it will never stop.

Therefore, using this move can "shatter the sun". Although this martial arts book describes that it can shatter the sun, Yun Changan still feels that it is a bit exaggerated, but the power of this set of boxing techniques cannot be denied.

However, for Yun Changan, this set of boxing techniques is undoubtedly the self-defense method he needs most at the moment.

……

The next day, noon.

In the secluded hut, the midday sun shone in through the crack in the door. The wooden barrel that Yun Changan had found from somewhere was placed in the center of the room. Under the barrel was the Five Elements Gathering Formation arranged by Fairy Shichen, which was emitting a dim light.

This Five Elements Gathering Formation was an advanced version of the Small Five Elements Gathering Formation that Fairy Shichen had set up at my grandfather's house. The materials needed for this formation were also purchased from Brother Xi Que in the sect, but it cost a lot of merit points. This made the already poor Yun Chang'an even poorer.

At this time, Yun Chang'an had already prepared the materials for the bathing elixir and was just waiting for noon to arrive.

Soon, a beam of sunlight shone directly on the wooden barrel.

"It's time." Yun Chang'an murmured, and according to the previous steps, he poured the elixir into the wooden barrel one by one. Then, he jumped into the barrel to bathe as before.

hiss.......

This elixir was indeed stronger than ordinary herbs, and Yun Changan grimaced in pain.

But even so, Yun Changan did not jump out, because he knew that this was something he had to go through. If he gave up halfway, the effectiveness of the medicine would be greatly reduced.

And, most importantly, he spent 2,000 merit points to buy this, so it must not be wasted.

It's not that I feel sorry for these merit points, but the more I use them, the fewer they are. It seems I have to get some more.

Yun Chang'an was now experiencing a bath that was even more painful than before. His eyes were wide open, staring angrily at the front, not daring to move at all. If he moved even the slightest, the medicinal power of the herbs would drill into his skin like a bug.

This is the pain of drilling skin and scraping bones that Fairy Shichen mentioned before. Indeed, this skin-refining and bone-tending soup is extraordinary. If an ordinary person were to experience this bath, he would probably jump out before he even takes a step.

After experiencing the excruciating pain of scraping skin and bones for half an hour, a refreshing feeling arose from within.

"Hmm? It seems like my muscles and bones have become stronger."

It was not known whether Yun Changan had an illusion due to the pain, but he felt as if his muscles and bones were being regenerated, replacing the old bones.

It's like a plant that has been withered for a long time, and suddenly a new bud grows out of it, giving a feeling of new life.

"It's not an illusion!"

Yun Chang'an felt carefully and found that his body was "replacing old bones with new ones", which made Yun Chang'an overjoyed.

After a long time, seeing the herbs in the bucket slowly becoming clear and the medicinal power of the herbs slowly disappearing, Yun Changan knew that the bath was complete.

Half an hour later, Yun Chang'an felt a fresh feeling coming from inside, as if his muscles and bones had been reborn. He was sure that his muscles and bones had become stronger, so he stopped bathing and came out.

Now he felt very happy, so he opened the book "Setting Sun Fist" again and started practicing it move by move in real time.

According to what was said in the previous book "The Settling Sun Fist", practicing at the three hours of the day, namely the Mao hour, the Wu hour and the You hour, can often achieve twice the result with half the effort. Therefore, every day after that, Yun Chang'an would practice boxing outside the house for three hours at a time.

As the saying goes, diligence brings perfection, so Yun Changan did not dare to slack off even for a moment.

Every day thereafter was spent like this. He would get up at the morning hour and practice boxing once, then find some food to eat, and then draw water from the well to irrigate the land. After noon, he would take a bath and drink the skin and bone-refining soup, practice boxing once more, study another set of exercises, "Zhengyang Sword Technique", and practice boxing again at the evening hour.

Ten days later.

boom......

At this moment, a large rock outside the field collapsed with a roar from Yun Chang'an, turning into pieces of rubble.

As the white mist formed by the vital energy around him suddenly dissipated, the vital energy gathered in his arms also turned into white mist and dispersed in all directions.

"It's done!"

This is exactly the third move "Kai Shan" of the "Chan Yang Fist" martial arts that was originally selected from the Sutra Library.

Yun Chang'an smiled instantly, this was a small success in the Kaishan style boxing. After ten days of hard practice and unremitting practice, he had successfully studied the first two styles of boxing thoroughly. Each style was as natural and smooth as flowing water, and the third style had also been mastered.

The bathing in the skin-refining and bone-tending soup was also completed today. His body has reached a whole new level. His skin is tougher, his muscles are stronger, and his bones are harder.

"It's time to impact the fifth meridian." Yun Changan thought.
