Chapter 36: The Essence of Physical Arts
Two days have quietly passed since the battle between Yin Feng and Shen Qing, and in the past two days, Yin Feng's 'undefeated myth' has completely become the focus of the outer gate, and all corners are talking about the fight two days ago.
If Yin Feng had won more than 200 competitions in a row in the martial arts training field before, it was only a little alarming to those disciples who had entered the list, then the battle two days ago undoubtedly moved them a little.
All the disciples on the list of the outer gate, the vast majority of them have entered the barbaric mountain range to experience penance, looking for opportunities, only a very small part of the disciples on the list remain in the outer gate, despite this, they also put all their thoughts on cultivation, often closed and secluded, and their hard work is not lighter than those disciples who have gone down the mountain to practice.
Therefore, even if Yin Feng's matter moved them a little, it would never make them pay attention to their hearts, because there was not much time left for them, and every second had to be taken, because in another year, it would be the biennial meeting of the four outer sects of the Taiqing Red Sword Sect.
In the past 20 years, the North Outer Gate has been at the bottom of every session, and it can be said that it has suffered the ridicule and ridicule of the disciples of the other three outer gates.
Compared with the last session, those harsh and ridiculous words were still fresh in their memories, and they couldn't let go, and the intense humiliation also turned into a terrible motivation, so they had to cultivate hard.
The most recent meeting from the North Outer Gate to achieve remarkable results in the competition was 20 years ago, when Zhao Xin, who ranked first in the North Outer Gate, still stood at the top of the list of the outer gates, and had not yet entered the inner peak.
In that session, Zhao Xin was the leader, invincible, and no one dared to beat his edge, which made the North Outer Gate out of the limelight at that time, and all the disciples who participated in the battle were all bright, with their chests and heads up, pointing at others with their fingers one by one, making mocking words, so not majestic.
Therefore, Zhao Xin's prestige at that time was extremely high, and he was the idol of all the disciples on the list, and he could not tolerate the contempt and insult of others.
But after Zhao Xin entered the inner peak, the North Outer Gate began to slump, and there has not been a figure comparable to Zhao Xin in the past twenty years, and even Su Canqi, who is now ranked first on the Outer Gate List, has only just entered the early stage of the ninth layer of the Foundation Building Realm, and now it is still stabilizing, and I don't know when it will be able to stabilize and start to enter the middle of the ninth layer of the Foundation Building Realm, but in any case, a year is a little stretched after all.
You must know that the disciples who ranked first in the other three outer sect lists had all reached the late stage of the ninth layer of the foundation building realm, how did this make them not panic, how much pressure they felt, no one knew how much they longed for the appearance of the second Zhao Xin.
Of course, for their pressure, those ordinary disciples who have not entered the list, they are not clear, and they cannot understand it, but they are not qualified to experience it if they do not enter the outer door list for a day.
Like those disciples who did not enter the outer sect list, Yin Feng also did not realize that at this moment, after he ended the competition two days ago, he did focus on martial arts.
In the past two days, Yin Feng did not rush to exchange spirit coins for high-level attribute martial arts, but was ready to use the basic fist technique, then change to a basic palm technique, then exchange the basic palm technique for a basic leg technique, and finally exchange it for a basic footwork.
The same basic martial arts, as long as you exchange the previous basic martial arts, you don't need to pay spirit coins, because it is only an explanation and elaboration of basic martial arts, and does not involve specific moves, so in a strict sense, basic martial arts is not a martial art.
All the outer disciples basically observed a basic martial art, and after cultivating and improving, they hurriedly chose an ordinary martial art or attribute martial art corresponding to it.
The foundation of physical art is to rely on the limbs to a certain extent and use the limbs flexibly to achieve the purpose of defense or attack, and the use of the limbs is nothing more than the use of fists, palms, legs, and steps.
Of course, in addition to these four basic martial arts, there are also basic martial arts such as basic fingering or basic claw techniques, but in Yin Feng's opinion, there are no realities from those four basic martial arts, which contain the essence of all the changes in the limbs.
Moreover, because this kind of finger or claw martial art is too tricky and weird, insidious and evil, it is usually classified as the left door of the side door, so it is not common in the three doors of the upper path of the main path, but it is extremely common in the three doors outside the left path.
Since only one basic martial art was chosen, those outer disciples could not master the original essence of physical arts, so it was inevitable that they would rely too much on the martial arts moves themselves, so it would be difficult to achieve a clear and transparent realm of martial arts with one move and one style from the heart.
Yin Feng, who had tried with more than two hundred disciples in the martial arts training field, undoubtedly had a deeper understanding of this, since he had embarked on the road of physical cultivation, if he did not comprehend the essence of physical arts, he would be really sorry for this strong body.
On that day, when Yin Feng came to the Sword Pavilion and was about to exchange the basic fist technique for the basic palm technique, Elder Wu's gaze was a little strange, and when he asked for a while and was familiar with Yin Feng's thoughts, the strangeness in his eyes immediately became even stronger, and it was also mixed with imperceptible appreciation.
Finally, in Yin Feng's stunned eyes, Elder Wu directly handed Yin Feng the basic palm technique, leg technique, and footwork all at once, and then waved his hand to signal that Yin Feng didn't need to thank him, this was nothing.
Yin Feng may not know that at this moment, he has become the focus of Elder Wu and Elder Zhou's attention, and the degree of his attention is even many times stronger than that of Zhao Xin back then.
After leaving the Sword Pavilion, Yin Feng stayed on the low hill in front of the wooden house day and night to participate in the enlightenment and practice, his expression was serious, and he was fully integrated into the artistic conception of the basic exercises, and he had nothing else to think about.
During this period, Mu Gen had also been here many times, but when he saw Yin Feng's devotion to martial arts, he didn't dare to disturb, so he had to sit in front of the wooden house with Sun Ren and chat, and before he knew it, the relationship between the two was getting deeper and deeper.
Yin Feng's first basic martial arts that he chose to comprehend was the basic palm technique, after all, Yin Feng had already comprehended the basic boxing method to the realm of Dacheng that originated from the heart and was restrained in fist strength. The fists and palms are all out of the hand, the grip is the fist, and the relaxation is the palm, although there are differences, but after all, there are commonalities, and it will be too convenient to understand.
On the low hill, the applause is whirring, the palm shadow is long, Yin Feng's palm speed has also changed from the initial incoherent, slowly becoming coherent, the palm wind or pitching or raising, or pushing or spinning, compared with the indomitable boxing, brave and resolute, after all, the palm has more retreats and more changes.
The main attack of the fist, the palm is the main defense, at first Yin Feng still practiced the palm with one hand, and then it became a two-handed palm, and finally it was a fist and palm exchange, the attack and defense were integrated, and then they did not distinguish each other.
Three days later, Yin Feng took back the fist shadow and palm shadow in the sky, and said happily: "Finally, the basic palm method has been comprehended to Dacheng, and the enemy can do whatever he wants, and he can change freely, so that when fighting with people, the upper and middle roads of the body are stable, and it is time to go down the road, it's time to understand the basic leg method!"
Thinking of it, Yin Feng immediately took out the basic leg method, sat cross-legged on the low hill, spent an hour of reading, and spent half a day closing his eyes to understand, Yin Feng finally practiced, the martial arts is different from breakthrough cultivation, as long as you have enough physical strength and energy, you can continue to do it. Breakthrough cultivation is different, not only does it have to keep consolidating solidity, but it also takes a long time to improve one's state of mind.
The leg shadow is like a whip, or a forward kick and a back kick, or a side kick and a split, each of Yin Feng's leg whips will bring a gust of wind, and the weeds and shrubs that blow will break their waists.
Fortunately, Yin Feng's soul strength is amazing, and after observing the absurdity over and over again, the soul power has grown rapidly, and the most direct benefit of this soul power growth is that the comprehension power has risen.
If Lingquan qualification is an external qualification, then comprehension is an internal talent, and it can be said that both are indispensable, and only a cultivation genius who is excellent in both aspects can go longer and farther on the path of cultivation than others.
Four days later, Yin Feng finally comprehended the basic leg method to the Dacheng realm.
After another four days, Yin Feng took advantage of this joyful momentum to realize the basic footwork to the Dacheng realm, the footwork is an extension of the leg method, and the connection between the two is undoubtedly much closer than that between the fists.
Footwork is also the key to the body, only the essence of footwork to a very high realm, in the future will be the body of the martial arts to cultivate in order to be handy, round and natural.
Comprehending these four basic martial arts to Dacheng is not only a mastery of the essence of physical arts, but also a solid foundation for the practice of various martial arts in the future, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
