Chapter 203: Strengthening Instincts
() Running with weights, the conduction of power in the body is particularly important, Ge Zheng has strength, but from the rebirth of strength to the real effect of strength, this link consumes too much strength.
Where the power should be used, where it should be used, and which muscles should be transmitted are all questions worth considering.
It seems simple to run with weights, but it can mobilize the muscles of the body.
Running with weights is exercise, and climbing the ladder is testing and understanding.
With continuous training, the increase in strength is no longer obvious, but the control of strength is increasing day by day.
The eighteen-level ladder is not something that ordinary people can go to the end, especially those whose physical strength does not match the realm.
The ladder of heaven tests the coordination of body strength, Ge Zheng's physical body is already in the realm of Duyuan, but his cultivation is in the realm of Yuan painting, and the coordination between this is particularly difficult.
Yuan Painting, Divine Seal, Zhiling, and Duyuan, there are two realms in the middle, the physical body is too strong, and the cultivation is too weak.
This is also the main purpose of this training, to coordinate the strength of the body, before Ge Zheng liked to rely on the pure body to fight, in Ma Shangfeng's opinion, this is no different from a savage.
If the power of the physical body can sweep the world, what else do you need to cultivate? Everyone has gone to exercise the physical body.
Because the power of the physical body is too much stronger than cultivation, Ge Zheng gradually ignored the power of cultivation, and the role of Yuan Qi is not only to condense the Yuan Technique, but also to assist the strength of the physical body.
Coordination is the main body.
As for the breakthrough of strength, it is only an accessory to this training.
Another half a month has passed, and the weight-bearing run has been strictly controlled by Ma Shangfeng, and now Ge Zheng's strength is capped at 14 million catties, and the weight is 7 million catties, but Ge Zheng feels very relaxed, he can complete the weight-bearing cultivation in almost eight hours, and the remaining four hours are spent on the eighteen-level ladder.
"Apprentice, your progress is too slow, it's been a month, and you still haven't been able to climb the ninth step, and when you reach the end of the eighteenth ladder, you will have to be the year of the monkey. β
Ge Zheng gritted his teeth and desperately moved upward, his strength was poured into his legs, and he was only missing one foot, which he couldn't climb the ninth step for half a month.
The ninth step requires 100% coordination of physical strength, and it is almost impossible to climb it, and yesterday Ge Zheng barely stepped his left foot halfway, but he couldn't succeed when he arrived.
"I said, stupid disciple, have you forgotten all the words of being a teacher? Sometimes the effect of converging power in one point is not as good as spreading it to the body, and if you don't want to understand this, you can't go up to this ninth step. β
Of course, Ge Zheng didn't forget, he remembered every word of Ma Shangfeng.
From the moment he recognized Ma Shangfeng, the master, how dare he forget the teachings!
But in the current situation, he can't spread his strength, and the weight is pressed on his legs, and he will instinctively gather his strength towards his legs, which is an uncontrollable thought.
But Ge Zheng was working hard, and he also found that this ninth step was too weird, and it was difficult to climb it with the power poured into his legs.
The power spreads, and the legs are heavy and can't be lifted at all, and if you don't gather the strength on your legs at this time, you are likely to fall.
In front of the eight steps, Ge Zheng only took less than half an hour, but from the eighth step to the ninth step, he couldn't step out in a few hours.
The whole body trembled, the soul, **, even the meridians were under heavy pressure, and the teeth were bitten and creaked.
"Disperse!" Ge Zheng roared, trying to control the force to disperse.
Instinctive restraint is the key to this step.
In other words, spreading the power is not the purpose of this step, this step is to allow the climber to control his own power at will, rather than being driven by instinct.
Instinctive choices are sometimes not necessarily the right ones.
The most common situation is that if a sharp weapon pierces the eyes, almost all people's instinct is to close their eyes, but can closing the eyes resist the sharp weapon?
Too often others are easily driven by instinct, and now what Ge Zheng has to do is to control his power to spread out, instead of instinctively pouring power into his legs.
"Scatter, scatter, scatter!"
Ge Zheng kept roaring, stimulating himself with words.
The pressure of the body is on the legs, and the strength is also on the legs, and the strength is gathered because of the pressure, which is instinct.
When the legs are under pressure, the strength is concentrated on the legs, and when the hands are under pressure, the strength is gathered on the hands, which is instinct.
"Control the strength and put aside the shackles of instinct, so that you can climb the ladder in one step, otherwise, no matter how hard you try, it will be useless!" Ma Shangfeng carefully guided.
It's one thing to know the truth, but it's another thing to know if you can do it.
Ge Zheng is working hard, working hard......
Sweat ran down his cheeks, and the tremendous pressure made his face burst with bruises and roar in hysteria.
"Spread it out for me!"
"Boom!"
Silent but sound, this sound roared like thunder, but only Ge Zheng could hear it, it was the flow of power, the power condensed in his legs began to flow, all over his body.
Finally, I stepped out and stood firmly on the ninth step.
Ma Shang sealed the danger of diapers: "Yes, you have finally broken the shackles of instinct on you, and from now on, your power will be controlled by yourself, not instinct, continue!"
The first nine steps test the control of power, and control one's own strength before you can climb the nine-step ladder, and the next nine steps test the use of power.
Now Ge Zheng can carry a maximum weight of 14 million catties, but the pressure of the tenth step has exceeded 14 million catties, breaking the limit, and it is not the extreme for his strength to be exerted to 100%.
"Bell ......"
Bell
Reverberating, Ge Zheng came down from the ladder and started a new day's running.
After climbing the ninth step, it was no longer a problem to carry half of the weight of his own extreme strength, and the strength was evenly dispersed, and Ge Zheng did not feel much pressure.
"You have climbed the nine-step ladder, and your control of your own strength has been perfect, nine is the extreme, and the extreme is changing, so the next cultivation needs to change, you run seriously for me, enjoy it!" Ma Shangfeng smiled indifferently, but Ge Zheng felt a chill in his heart, Ma Shangfeng didn't laugh It's okay, he smiled, it must be no good.
Ge Zheng just thought about what kind of changes would happen, and the weight on his body suddenly disappeared, and Ge Zheng was a little uncomfortable for a while.
But before Ge Zheng was happy, more pressure hit, and the force of 10 million catties pressed on Ge Zheng's shoulders, if he hadn't controlled his own strength, this sudden pressure would definitely make him fall to his knees in an instant.
It turns out that the so-called extreme transformation is actually like this.
"From now on, the weight on your body will not remain the same, but may change at any time, this change is under my control, and when you can run smoothly under the weight of random changes, it is when your strength breaks through. β
Ge Zheng didn't have any complaints, he could see and feel that Ma Shangfeng was really teaching him, and he really wanted him to become a talent, not to teach his apprentice to lose face.
The change of the weight bearing is random, and after looking at the change of Ma Shangfeng, sometimes there is no change for an hour, and sometimes it changes several times in a breath, and even the breathing rhythm is too late to adjust.
After running one hundred and nine laps, Ge Zheng didn't feel too tired, but his body was extremely uncomfortable, and the random changes in the weight made his body a little damaged.
After the weight-bearing run was over, Ma Shangfeng did not urge Ge Zheng to climb the ladder for the first time.
"Disciple, look at your footprints, how do you feel?"
Surrounded by Ge Zheng's footprints, some deep and some shallow, the deepest footprints are as deep as a foot, and the shallowest footprints are not clear if you don't look carefully.
"It's still not perfect. Ge Zheng gasped slightly.
"Do you know why?"
"Please let Master know. Ge Zheng thought to himself: What's the reason? Isn't it caused by the change in the weight you put on?
"Because although you control your own power, but you can't change the external stimuli at any time, the power I exert is within your tolerance, if you can respond at the first time, the footprints should be the same depth, and when I apply any weight you can deal with at will, that is when you can walk through the eighteen-step ladder. β
External changes, perceive at any time......
Ge Zheng was silent.
It is true that all the power exerted by Ma Shangfeng on him did not exceed the limit of his weight, and there should be no footprints of different shades, but the change in weight sometimes comes very suddenly, how can he improvise?
There is no hint, the weight changes when it is said, and there is no psychological preparation at all.
"Instinct! The first step is to control the power, get rid of the instinct, and the second step is to strengthen the instinct, and when your instinct can change at any time, you can at least climb the seventeenth ladder. β
"What about the eighteenth ladder?" Ge Zheng had already calmed down.
"Eighteen-step ladder......" Ma Shangfeng looked up at the sky: "Actually, this eighteen-step ladder, since I brought it back, no one has ever stood on the eighteenth step, and there are countless people who can climb the seventeenth step, but there is not one who can climb the eighteenth step!"
"There is no hope, Master, what does the eighteenth step represent?"
I don't know, I haven't climbed it myself, but according to some ancient records, eighteen steps mean: the most powerful. β
Ge Zheng opened his mouth, but didn't say anything.
Is there a limit to strength?
"Bell ......"
The two talked, and before they knew it, a few hours had passed, and the bell rang, but Ma Shangfeng still did not urge Ge Zheng.
"Take a day off, take a good look at the knowledge that the teacher will teach you, and then continue your practice tomorrow. β
Ge Zheng was stunned, didn't he say that he was not allowed to rest if he didn't climb the eighteenth step......
But of course it's best to be able to rest, for a whole month, every day is extremely tired, and you can only breathe when you climb the ladder, Ge Zheng is almost at the limit.
Lying on the bed, Ge Zheng couldn't sleep.
"Breaking free from the shackles of instinct and strengthening instinct, isn't the trial of this ladder inconsistent?"
Ge Zheng's mind was full of confusion.
If you want to control your own power, why do you need to strengthen your instincts later?
"Instinct, restraint or talent?"
In the quiet cave mansion, only the sound of Ge Zheng's breathing.
Stayed up all night, and now if he just meditated and practiced, it would not be a problem for Ge Zheng to stay awake for decades.
Ge Zheng thought about it all night, but he didn't understand the mystery.
It wasn't until the rising sun that Ge Zheng thought about it.
"The east rises and the west falls, the cycle repeats, the sun rises and sets, and the sun never opposes. β
Untying the instinctual shackles is to better control the power, strengthen the instinctive response, and better respond to external stimuli, which is not opposite.
Even if it is now intensive instinct training, the purpose is still to better control the power and respond to changes in the outside world with faster reactions.
The burst of power should be in response to changes in the outside world, and if you can't control the power perfectly, you will lose control of the power if you are blindly driven by instinct.
Training that seems to be opposites is not in fact opposites.
Thinking of this, Ge Zheng was relieved.
It turns out that the purpose of all this is control
Strength.
Control yourself first, and then control the forces exerted on you by the outside world.
After resting all day, late at night, Ge Zheng began to run with weights again, and Ma Shangfeng didn't sleep anymore, just shook the pu fan to bring bursts of cold air to dispel the heat, and changed the weight on Ge Zheng from time to time.
After figuring it out, Ge Zheng trained more seriously.
Progress requires a process, and there is no easy success, only continuous sweat.
"It's good to be young, to sway to your heart's content, it reminds me of that midsummer 1,137,522 years ago......"
Ma Shangfeng turned into a nostalgic and chatty old man, narrating his glorious past in Ge Zheng's ear, and by the way, he coldly changed the burden on Ge Zheng's body.
"Speaking of weight, I think of that cold winter of one hundred and ninety-three thousand eight hundred and fifty-one years......"
Ge Zheng was about to go crazy, and he complained in his heart: "Your old man has such a good memory, and he remembers every year, month, and day so clearly." β
Ge Zheng felt that Ma Shangfeng must be making up stories, he was just too boring, otherwise who could remember the past so clearly, even if the power of the emperor's soul was extremely powerful, but after living for more than a million years, some memories should have been blurred.
On the first day, Ge Zheng's progress was obvious, before his deepest footprints were one foot foot, and today he left the deepest footprints no more than seven inches.
At the end of the hundred laps, when climbing the ladder, Ge Zheng quickly climbed the nine steps, and then stepped out and stood firmly on the tenth step.
The effect of the training was evident, and the pressure exerted on him by the tenth step was not as noticeable as it was yesterday.
On the eleventh step, Ge Zheng's right foot was raised, but he couldn't fall, and the strong resistance spread from the soles of his feet to his body.
There is resistance under his feet, there is pressure on his body, and the strength between the two is so clear that it has not been neutralized, and Ge Zheng fell down the ladder with a stumble.
"What the hell is this? There is repulsion under the feet?"
"So, you didn't react quickly enough to the outside forces, and a repulsion on the soles of your feet shook you away, continue to refuel, there is still time. β
Ge Zheng patted the dust on his body and climbed the ladder again.
Originally, the pressure was exerted on the body, but at the eleventh step, a resistance suddenly rose, and Ge Zheng, who was dealing with the pressure, could react.
This time, knowing that there was a ghost in it, Ge Zheng took precautions in advance.
Taking a step, Ge Zheng fell down the tenth step again.
"Damn! Why isn't it resistance!"
This time, the power came from the front, and Ge Zheng thought it was still the resistance under his feet, and he was directly shocked again.
"Fool, if the first floor of the ladder remains the same, it is not possible to climb it in advance, you are really naΓ―ve, the power of this eleventh step is completely random, all angles, all kinds of strength is possible. β
Ge Zheng did not believe in evil, got up and climbed again.
"Bang!"
He was thrown to the ground again, this time with a light force, just touching Ge Zheng's forehead lightly, and his center of gravity was unstable and he fell from the ladder.
"In vain, it's wrong for you to do this, don't think about how to resist that force, you should think about where the power comes from, and respond as soon as possible, so that you won't be knocked away. β
Say it all, do it all the time.
Knowing that the eleventh step was impermanent, Ge Zheng had worked hard for more than an hour and still couldn't climb it, and he didn't even step on it.
Until the sub-clock rang, Ge Zheng was still thrown to the ground.
"You haven't reacted fast enough to changes in the outside world, and if you continue to train, you won't be able to climb the eleven steps in your current state. Ma Shangfeng's understatement made Ge Zheng crazy.
"It's impossible, you still let me try!" This time Ge Zheng didn't hide what he was thinking, and said it directly.
"It's not for you to get used to it first, to confront the master, and to reward you with a thunderbolt. After speaking, a heavenly thunder fell from the sky and accurately landed on Ge Zheng's heavenly spirit cover.
Ge Zheng, who was split and covered in black, wanted to cry without tears, what could he do with such a master?
The weight on his body fluctuated from heavy to light, and Ge Zheng almost wanted to vomit blood.
Just now, the strength of luck resisted the weight, and the weight on the body suddenly disappeared, like a punch on the cotton, which made people feel uncomfortable and want to go crazy.
When the weight is light, I just want to relax but suddenly it is heavier, and my foot directly crushes the mountain rock under my feet, leaving a deep footprint.
Under such torture, Ge Zheng spent seven hours finally completing the task of running with weights.
"Alas, today's results are not very good, yesterday your deepest footprint was only seven inches, today it is still seven inches, I guess, you still can't climb the eleventh step. β
Ma Shangfeng shook the pu fan, extremely idle.
Ge Zheng didn't believe it, he couldn't climb the eleventh step after a day of hard work.
But sometimes the reality is so cruel, Ge Zheng worked hard for several hours, but he couldn't climb the eleventh step, and he was thrown into disgrace.
"Come on apprentice, you still have a long way to go!"
It took more than a month to climb the tenth step, which is actually a very good result, and it took Ma Shangfeng two months to climb the tenth step when he tried it himself.
The only difference is that Ma Shangfeng didn't know the secret of the ladder at the beginning, but now he knows it, and he has formulated a cultivation plan for Ge Zheng according to the characteristics of the ladder.
One day, two days...... Five-day ......
On the fifth day, Ge Zheng finally climbed the eleventh step, and no matter how much weight on his body changed, his footprints would not exceed five inches deep.
From one foot to seven inches, it took him only one day, and from seven inches to five inches, it took six days.
The control of power becomes more and more difficult the further you go.
