Chapter 19: The Twilight Wolf

Many people think that people who practice traditional Chinese Guoshu will not practice this basic strength training of the Western system.

In fact, such training is to a certain extent the most direct test and increase one's physical strength level. Since ancient times, the Chinese people have also used stone locks, stone grinders and other tools to temper their physique, which is similar to the utility of modern strength equipment.

Huaxia boxing method pays attention to the use of strength, which is fundamentally a skill, like an algorithm formula, inputting one part of energy to release two or even three parts through the transformation of a special force method, and doubling the destructive power.

But what if the basis of the input is two or even three? Therefore, the ancient boxing system for thousands of years has studied how to amplify its own limited strength and defeat the strong with the weak. In later generations, fighting schools such as jiu-jitsu and joint techniques made special use of levers to amplify the effect.

If a mutant with extraordinary physical talent practices the Guoshu boxing method, then due to the higher quality foundation of the body, it will definitely be more destructive than a human boxer of the same level, and even far surpass.

However, over the years, Chinese martial arts have long been integrated with obscure culture and thought. Not to mention the races of other countries with huge intellectual disabilities, even Chinese people are difficult to have the qualifications and talents to penetrate the secret door of martial arts, which has also led to the decline of martial arts fighting to a certain extent.

And James Howlett, the master of the national arts in his previous life, Bai Feng, this unimaginable anomaly, made all kinds of impossible conditions combined, making the peak of martial arts confusing again.

Twenty sets of extreme weight squats, deadlifts, and a series of strength beats are finished. James staggered through the weight armor, added a hundred kilograms of lead, and officially began today's training.

Only when you have exhausted your abundant physical strength and strength can you feel the strength that penetrates deep into the texture in your boxing. Now James has long been not confined to the shackles of the boxing school, the pace of Baguazhang may be used in the hammer method of Taijiquan, and the collapse of Xingyi may be matched with the Yu step of "shrinking the ground into inches".

In terms of technique, he has reached the peak, and James has a feeling that the cultivation of boxing after his integration may enter a new situation, and there will even be no shadow of the previous national martial arts.

The clock in the secret room reminded him that it had been almost five hours since noon, James slowly stopped, slowly shook his muscles and bones to relax his skin, closed his pores, and let the sweat vapor that was constantly squirting out slowly settle, and his breath settled down to return to the lower abdomen dantian, and suddenly a long breath roared out like fireworks in a brazier blown by white waves, and the two air currents finally slowly rose to the temples and gathered their strength.

From the beginning of the punch warm-up to the strength and the final boxing practice, he has been naked but not a drop of sweat has flowed, which is one of the essences of the inner boxing method, the fur to attack.

Along the long stone staircase that stretched upward, the cabinet full of all kinds of muskets in the study was slowly pushed open, and James, who had changed his clothes, calmly walked out and went downstairs to eat.

………………

It's been a long time since Victor has found new special traces in the forest, and since that unusual discovery in late autumn last year, he has been keeping an eye out for changes in the forest, but unfortunately, the "monster" that can cause such destruction seems to have completely left the place and never reappeared.

With the instincts and instincts of a beast, Victor had a vague feeling in his mind that this was his "kind", and firmly believed that there would be a time when they would meet. More than a century later, in the study of mutant genes, scholars called this instinctive desire for population tendencies the "zoomorphic community effect".

Variants who are closely related or genetically related to the same beast will have a natural co-population phenomenon that originates from the deepest layer, which is the population instinct of the beast group to prey on and survive. This instinct will tempt them to be close to each other and to depend on each other.

At the same time, the group pattern of the animals determines that they must have their own leader, the beast king of this hunting area, so this desire to attract each other to be close and dependent on each other has a very contradictory side, that is, they must eventually duel the king of this group. The beasts that are often at the top of the food chain either hunt alone or become "head wolves", and rarely subservient to humans.

Victor is mentally and physically desperate to find his "kind", to find his own "herd". And the powerful mutant talent, known as the "Sabertooth Tiger" in the future, means that only by becoming the Beastmaster can he form a state of coexistence with other compatriots......

After dinner, the Wayne butler brought a letter from the Howlett family back in the United States, detailing the recent John Brown uprising and the Republican leader Abraham Lincoln. James thought for a moment after reading carefully in the study, wrote a reply letter and explained the follow-up layout tasks.

The prologue of the American Civil War is about to begin.

The night was deep, and the winter Canadian night was as quiet as if it had lost its hearing. Heavy snow clings to the reckless Rocky Mountains, and the fireplace in Mr. Howlett's bedroom crackles softly, and the room is warm and not hot.

James sat cross-legged in meditation on a thick Persian blanket in the left corner of the room, next to the fireplace, his handsome face blazing. Accompanying his grandfather made him feel very relieved, and in this world that was not his own, he needed some persistence and bonds to make him less hesitant.

"Ahem... Ahem, ahem! ”

Mr. Howlett coughed intermittently, and rolled over with some struggle. When James heard the movement, he opened his eyes and got up and went to the bedside, rubbing his grandfather's back and holding a glass of warm water for him to take two sips slowly. The old man seemed to be more energetic than ever, and motioned for James to help him up and sit down on the bed.

"Roar... Ahem, ahem... It's okay Jamie, it's okay, I'll sit down for a while, and I'll just talk to you. He rubbed left and right on the pillow laid by his grandson quite quickly, and found a comfortable position.

"You've been making yourself uncomfortable these days, aren't you? Every night with me, an old fellow, he manipulates some things that his subordinates do. ”

"You're kidding again, these things shouldn't have been done by anyone else." James sat down beside Mr. Howlett, lit the oil lamp, and looked at the old man's withered face with a flush, and seemed to be a little angry. In the cloudy eyes, you can faintly see the once sharp and deep brilliance.

On the contrary, he felt uneasy in his heart, and responded to his grandfather's words in a little panic.

"Alas...... I couldn't speak for a while, and I was groggy, but I could feel that you were here with me every night, feeding, delivering water, and scrubbing the toilet...... When people are old, they are afraid of causing trouble to the children, but they are reluctant to let you go away, knowing that you are by your side... Just ......"

Mr. Howlett babbled to his grandson what he had been unable to say for a long time, and the more James listened, the deeper his heart sank, and a pair of invisible hands twisted his heart inch by inch.

"Grandfather... Don't talk about it, save some energy and get some sleep. He tried to interrupt Mr. Howlett with some pleading, but the old man took his hand and tightened it tightly.

"I know when I'm here, and if I miss something, I won't have a chance." He took a slow breath and continued, "You are smart enough, you have more ability than me, and you don't have to talk nonsense about what to do and what not to do in the future." This family, whether it rises or falls, people must be good! ”

James nodded, holding his grandfather's hand and caressing it gently.

"I'm only worried that your temperament is too arrogant, I know that you don't want to trust anyone when you're young, I can see it, but you remember, no matter how powerful a lone wolf is, it can't beat a lion, only a wolf pack can be invincible! You have to have your own 'wolf pack' to deal with the wind and rain in the future, and don't carry everything by yourself. ”

"I remember, grandfather"

"The root of a family is not maintained by blood, but a kind of inheritance, a kind of spiritual and persistent inheritance, everyone who identifies with and surrounds you can become a member of this family, the same blood does not necessarily have the same heart! The only thing I want to entrust to you is the 'Howlett' family, and it is my only wish that this family that began with me can continue. ”

James nodded heavily: "Don't worry, the Howlett family will definitely pass it on!" ”

"And... Although there is no need to be obsessed with blood, children still have to have more children! I can't see the day you have children, don't think about so much mess, how many have and how many are born, there are enough lives in this heaven and earth......"

Mr. Howlett remembered that after ten minutes of talking a little, he slowly became as if he had been in the past, and gradually lost his strength, and seemed to fall asleep. James helped him to lie down, kneeling on the edge of the bed with the old man's hand, his face against the back of his grandfather's hand, keen awareness and strong hearing felt the old man's heart beat slowly and stubbornly......

Slowly, there was no sound.
