Chapter 32: What's Missing
Today is another day of fatigue. Bai Ke exercised all day and sweated profusely, but he always felt a little irritable. It's not that he's relapsed and impatient, it's that he feels like he's never improving. He went into the bathhouse with some thought, took a shower, and then returned to his lodgings, and after a few casual bites, he lay down on the bed and began to think about his future. It has been more than three months since he returned to the martial arts hall, and he has been training hard every day, but his gains are limited. Bai Ke felt that there was no progress in himself, and he was quite helpless in his heart.
His physical fitness was too strong, his regular training was ineffective, and adding weights to his body didn't work well, which upset him.
Fortunately, he had just experienced a life-and-death crisis after all, and his soul had been sublimated, although he was a little impatient, but he didn't want to escape or mess up. He changed his mindset and wanted to solve the problem, not run away from it.
"What's going on? Lately, I feel like I'm not making any progress at all. With such a large amount of training every day, I feel like I'm just moving mechanically, repeating it over and over again, and it doesn't make any sense. Is it the wrong way to train? "He started to have some self-doubt.
Bai Ke's current training is mainly self-cultivation, and Celine may occasionally give some guidance. At the beginning, Celine helped him lay the foundation, although Celine later slacked off (in fact, he was hit by Bai Ke's physical fitness), and he also changed his instructor, but this friendship is still there.
Basic training is not difficult, some are like various fitness programs in the Earth Gym, after the coach has guided it, the rest is up to the students to stick to it. Bai Ke is very patient now, and he continues to practice hard every day. Of course, with Bai Ke's friendship with Aisha, he occasionally went to Aisha to ask her for advice, or trained with her, it was no problem.
Bai Ke has undoubtedly entered a bottleneck period now, he wants to make rapid progress, but he can't find a way. After thinking about it carefully, he decided to start observing the training of his senior sisters to see if he could find any clues.
The next day, Bai Ke secretly observed the senior sisters while training. He was closest to Celine and observed it the most carefully. Celine is tall and strong, and she is very bold when training for fights, without any regard for the possibility of her own injury. Bai Ke didn't find anything special in her, she was similar to Bai Ke, they were both representatives of miracles.
The other senior sisters were far away, and he couldn't see them completely with his eyesight, but he felt that their training was much the same, and there was no difference. Only one or two people seemed to be different, and one of them was Bertha.
He observed Bertha's training and found that her movements were very smooth, full of a sense of rhythm and rhythm. It's like those martial arts masters make combos, one after another, endlessly.
Is this it? It doesn't seem to be, although her moves are continuous, they are obviously less powerful, but Celine's one move is extremely powerful.
Bai Ke was confused, did he feel that his progress was simply because his time to practice martial arts was too short and his accumulation was insufficient? It's possible. After all, Bai Ke has only been in contact with martial arts for ten months now, and of course he can't compare with Celine and Bertha, who have been practicing for more than ten years, but he always feels that something is missing.
He is extremely talented, and now he has surpassed almost all the disciples in the martial arts hall in terms of physical fitness alone, including Aisha, including Celine. In terms of basic training, I have been studying hard for several months. So what's missing?
I don't know if Aisha can inspire herself, she is a personal disciple of her master, so there should be a difference. Thinking of Aisha, in fact, Bai Ke has watched Aisha's training, but how to say it, Aisha's training is like dancing. Although the movements are very exaggerated, the body can twist and turn as if there are no bones, and at the same time, it is full of rhythm and rhythm like Bertha, and the muscles are full of explosiveness like Celine, in general, it is a combination of the best of the two, but it does not show anything special.
Is it really about grinding time? Do you accumulate strength little by little over a long period of time? Bai Ke was puzzled, what was the difference, what was missing? He pondered and meditated, but he never understood the essentials.
On this day, Bai Ke saw Master Sale drinking tea in the courtyard of the hall, and he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and knew what was missing.
Missing the extraordinary!
Arad is a demonic world, and everything in this world is soaked in magic. Even if the magic is not manifested, it is only in a hidden state, not non-existent. Arad's high-level martial artists can crack stones and destroy mountains and mountains (Salle is a typical representative of this), which is simply impossible in the homeland of the earth, and Bai Ke absolutely does not believe that there is no magic involved.
In fact, he should have thought of it a long time ago, after all, there is still a change of rank as a martial artist and a qigong master. Qigong masters need to be exposed to magic from the very beginning, although this can be very talented, and they must also be trained in advance as children.
This world is a world of demons, but why don't all the senior sisters in the martial arts hall use magic power. Although the steel fist itself is a genre that relies on physical strength to fight hard, since it is in a demonic world, how can it not use magic power? If Gangquan really doesn't have a wide future, then it is impossible to pass it down in this world, let alone become a prominent scholar in the Delos Empire. But I didn't see anyone in the martial arts hall using any magic power.
"Maybe I should ask the Pavilion Master, Master Saler, directly, and I don't know if she will teach me." As far as Bai Ke observed, he found that Zareth didn't really care about him. Dinah and Zareth seem to have made a deal just to bring themselves to the gym to study, and as for how much they can learn, it is up to them, and Zareth will not pay extra attention. I think that there are special exercises and secret techniques in this world that can apply magic power to martial arts, but will Zareth teach it to himself? It's hard to say, after all, he is not a disciple of Zareth.
Bai Ke suffered from gains and losses, and he felt that his cultivation had reached a bottleneck. The next stage of advancement should be based on the unique magic of this world. He wanted to teach Zareth, but he was afraid that Zareth would reject him.
In the next few days, Bai Ke was a little absent-minded, although he still completed his training on time and in accordance with the amount every day. But he was always looking around to observe the training of his sisters, trying to figure out how to use his magic, but unfortunately he didn't get much.
On this day, he went to observe Aisha's training, and Aisha was different today, not training, but constantly circling around a stone pillar with a thick bowl.
Aisha: What is this for? Bai Ke had doubts in his heart, so he sat next to him and watched carefully.
Aisha circled around the pillar, then reached out and knocked on the pillar again, and then kept moving up from different positions. After sticking her hand to the pillar a few times, Aisha finally stood still, took a deep breath, and took a standard posture of punching.
"Drink!" She drank violently, exerted force in her hand, and punched out the stone pillar in the middle. There was a soft sound of "click", Bai Ke's eyes widened, what did he see, the stone pillar was actually cracked by Aisha, and the crack was getting bigger and bigger. The entire stone pillar of "Jambang" was actually broken in the middle!
This... What is it? Isn't it what you have been looking for to shake a hard stone pillar with human flesh and blood and break it? Bai Ke couldn't sit still, he stood up and rushed towards Aisha. Aisha was watching her masterpiece at this time, and she was very satisfied. Bai Ke rushed in front of her and grabbed the hand she had just punched. Aisha's other hand reflexively grabbed Bai Ke's outstretched hand and clasped it.
"Oops!" Bai Ke's hand was twisted by Aisha, and a strong attack came, and Bai Ke's elbow suddenly hurt sharply.
Aisha reacted quickly, let go of Bai Ke's hand, her face was slightly red, and said, "What are you doing?" Why are you going to grab my hand all of a sudden? ”
Bai Ke didn't care about the pain in his hand at this time, and continued to grab Aisha's hand. Aisha didn't resist this time, and handed him her hand with a blushing face. Bai Ke turned over and over and looked at Aisha's hand that had broken Shi Zhu just now, it was still so white, tender and ruddy, except for a slight redness on the fist surface, there was no damage.
"How did you do that?"
"What?" Aisha is a little unshady.
"How did you manage to break the stone pillar?"
"That's how I punched and interrupted."
"It can't be! Your hand is flesh and blood, how can you break the stone pillar, and your hand will not hurt after breaking the stone pillar. Bai Ke exclaimed.
He put down Aisha's hand and looked at the broken pillar. This should be a marble pillar, the material is hard, Bai Ke tried to punch the stone pillar. Well, there wasn't the slightest crack, and my hand hurt terribly.
He covered his hands and continued to circle the stone pillar. There was a pit in the fracture of the pillar - this was punched by Aisha, and from this pit burst out many cracks, all over the middle punch. It was from this part that the stone pillar broke off and eventually collapsed.
Bai Ke looked at the stone pillar, his eyes were extremely focused, as if he was looking at a lover. He touched the broken part of the stone pillar, thought about it, and picked up the broken and fallen half of the stone pillar, and spliced it together with the remaining stone pillars. Looking at the cobweb-like cracks, and looking at the pit that Aisha had knocked out, it was incredible.
