Journey Through the Heavens: Starting with Chinese Martial Arts!

"You probably don't have anywhere to go yet, right? Do you want me to arrange a room for you?" After the two finished their meal and got into the car, Chen Yuanhuang asked Chen Jueshang in the back seat.

The ground in the capital was covered with a layer of snow. During the meal, a thin layer of snow fell on the car roof and the windshield, and it was still snowing heavily outside.

"Okay." Chen Jueshang did not refuse. It was his first time in the capital and he really had nowhere to stay. He was happy to have someone help him and didn't want to waste time on this.

Seeing that Chen Jueshang agreed, Chen Yuanhuang took out her phone and made a call. After the other end answered, she gave a few instructions and hung up before driving away from the restaurant.

"I didn't expect Sister Huang to be such a socialite!" Chen Yuanhuang didn't try to hide the conversation, so Chen Jueshang heard it very clearly. He naturally heard every word of the "Miss" and the like.

"Heh, being a rich young lady isn't so easy. There are always some good-for-nothings who like to hang around in front of me. If it weren't for the old man telling me to be careful, I would have killed them all." Chen Yuanhuang sneered.

She wasn't averse to men, but rather to those good-for-nothings who thought they could fool her like a fool by using tricks to coax a little girl.

"Then he should indeed be killed." Chen Jueshang nodded in agreement. After all, people admire strength, especially women in this regard. They wouldn't even look at someone who is inferior to them.

Not to mention a strong and domineering woman like Chen Yuanhuang.

Moreover, he had spent more than a month with the other party and knew what kind of person he was. He was not the kind of timid, dependent woman. He was skilled in martial arts, straightforward, and naturally looked down on the sons of powerful and wealthy families in the capital.

After a long while, the black sedan drove up to a detached villa. A butler, dressed formally and with graying temples and white gloves, stood in front of the gate, his posture upright, his face calm, and his eyes clear.

As soon as the car arrived, he immediately stepped forward to open the door, his voice respectful: "Miss."

"Mm." Chen Yuanhuang nodded and got out of the car one after the other with Chen Jueshang. She looked at the small villa in front of her and said with satisfaction, "Uncle Fu, you did a good job. You can go back now."

Chen Jueshang, on the other hand, didn't feel anything. He had no requirements for his living environment; as long as he could live there and practice his boxing, everything else was secondary.

The old man, who was called Uncle Fu, nodded, glanced at Chen Jueshang, and then left.

Chen Jueshang noticed the old man's gaze, but he didn't think much of it or take it to heart. He walked into the villa with Chen Yuanhuang. The villa was fully furnished and equipped, and they could move in immediately.

"You can stay here from now on. Call me if you need anything." With that, Chen Yuanhuang handed over a cell phone: "I've already inserted a SIM card in this phone, so you don't need to borrow one from someone else."

"Thank you." Chen Jueshang took the phone, feeling a surge of emotion. He would remember Chen Yuanhuang's help and kindness.

Although this woman is strong and domineering and likes to tease him, she is also his biggest angel investor in this world of Chinese martial arts. She not only teaches him Chinese martial arts, but also provides him with accommodation and help. He can never repay this kindness!

"I'm going back now." Chen Yuanhuang left.

……

In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed.

Outside the small villa, snow was falling heavily, covering the roof and the ground. Small, cone-shaped ice crystals shimmered faintly on the eaves. A figure stood in the snow, the snow beneath his feet melting due to the high temperature.

As Chen Jueshang practiced Xingyi Quan, his blood and qi flowed like a river, and his punches were sometimes as heavy as a thousand pounds and sometimes as light as cotton.

Although the force of his punches varies, if a master were here, he would definitely notice that the changes in his strength are not coordinated, that he cannot achieve both hardness and softness, and that his punches are still bound by form and cannot be released at will.

"Hoo!" Chen Jueshang exhaled a breath of white air, turned around and walked into the villa, picked up a book that Chen Yuanhuang had given her yesterday, which explained her understanding of the changes in light and dark and the opportunity for breakthrough.

Of course, everyone's understanding and opportunity for breaking through to the next level are different, but ultimately it comes down to daily accumulation.

A sudden enlightenment is possible, but the probability is low.

For more than a month, Chen Jueshang got up at dawn every day to practice boxing. Occasionally, he would go out for a stroll with Chen Yuanhuang, and after returning, he would still practice boxing.

With his prodigious talent and comprehension, his fist techniques improved rapidly, and he mastered both the obvious and hidden energies. He was just one opportunity away from breaking through the threshold of the Transformation Realm.

"Light and dark, yin and yang, Tai Chi generates two polarities. Light and dark represent movement, while transforming energy represents stillness. Light and dark training focuses on fist techniques, but stance training is fundamental. To break through to transforming energy, I should start from the outside and work inward..."

After reading the book, Chen Jueshang seemed to have gained some insights, as if he had a new understanding of the Transformation Realm. Gradually, the path to Transformation Realm became clearer to him.

Putting down the book, Chen Jueshang got up and braved the heavy snow to go outside again. He stood in a stance, his muscles and bones relaxed and heavy, yet his body contained a bursting, explosive force, moving from external stillness to internal movement.

Instantly, the blood and qi in his body seemed to come alive, slowly boiling and surging. The snow that had just fallen on his body was instantly evaporated, his pores closed, his skin became smooth, and his body was like boiling water seeping out wisps of white mist, with the locked essence circulating inside.

He was like a blazing furnace, intense and fiery. The snow that fell on his body eventually melted into water, wetting his clothes, but then drying them in the blink of an eye.

Chen Jueshang ignored the changes in the outside world. He closed his eyes and looked inward at his own body. Everything inside him was crystal clear.

He could hear the blood flowing through his veins like a river, and each heartbeat was steady and powerful, like a beating drum. The location, shape, and rhythm of his internal organs were all present in his mind.

Every single detail is meticulously rendered.

At this moment, Chen Jueshang understood his body so well that it seemed he could move his internal organs at will, causing them to shift slightly, twitch, or even stop his heart.

Connecting the inner and outer, originating from the heart!

"Hoo!" At this moment, Chen Jueshang slowly exhaled, and an invisible force burst forth from his pores, causing his clothes to tremble slightly: "Is this... the Transformation Realm?"

He opened his eyes, his strength flowing freely to his extremities. The coarse, fine, internal, and external forces intertwined and solidified. The previously somewhat obscure strength transformed into a single, unified force as he entered the stage of "transformation."

"Clap clap clap!" Before Chen Jueshang could comprehend the profound mystery of the Transformation Realm, suddenly, the sound of applause came from not far away. He looked over and saw that Chen Yuanhuang had been standing there at some point.

Her phoenix eyes smiled, and her voice rang out: "You've broken through to the Transformation Realm in just over a month. I suppose that book has been helpful to you. So my efforts weren't in vain. Congratulations!"

Today, she was wearing a fiery red dress, standing in the snowy landscape, like a blooming fire lotus, creating a strong visual contrast.

"When did you get here?" Chen Jueshang was familiar with the power of the Transformation Realm, and he completely took control of his body in about three breaths. The slight discomfort brought about by the breakthrough dissipated.

Although he broke through to the level of Huajin, the improvement was not significant. The most important thing was that his control over his internal energy became stronger, and his control over his body became more refined and subtle, with his internal energy flowing smoothly throughout his body.

"I've been here for a while now. Seeing that you were breaking through to the Transformation Realm, I didn't want to disturb you." Chen Yuanhuang stepped over and continued, "Now that you've broken through to the Transformation Realm, with the World Martial Arts Tournament just around the corner, we should set off."

Chen Jueshang calculated the days and realized it was indeed time to set off: "Then let's go."
