Chapter 23 The gray sky outside the bottleneck window, and the faint mist outside can be seen through the glass, because there was a rain last night, and now there is a strong earthy smell in the air, which makes people feel not particularly comfortable.

Call......

In the dimly lit bedroom, a boy in a white vest stood facing the window, his eyes slightly closed, and his breathing was long and powerful, and the interval between breaths could even reach more than half a minute.

The boy's face is delicate, but there is a faint deterrent, the outline of his body is very strong, obviously his body is very good, especially the exposed arms, the muscle lines on them are very emotional, compared to the average boy of the same age, his arms are at least thicker, compared to adult men, not inferior to adult men, full of explosive sense of power.

This is exactly what Dior is.

Slowly opening his eyes, he felt the surging power in his body, and a slight smile appeared on his face. Suddenly, his eyes froze, his right hand clenched his fist and struck forward, and then he stopped steadily at a distance from the window glass, and there was a brief sound of breaking wind, and the curtains on the side were raised high as if they had met a strong wind, and only after a while did they slowly hang down.

Since the battle on Mount Mannheim, Dior has clearly felt that his strength has grown like he has entered a fast lane, especially after the battle on Elm Street. This feeling of being able to clearly feel himself getting stronger every day made him addicted, and this sense of accomplishment of climbing one peak and moving towards another all the time made him constantly spur himself, so that he couldn't help but spend any time he could squeeze out on cultivation, which in turn made his progress more significant.

This phenomenon is not actually abnormal, and the reason is clear to Dior.

After the battle on Mount Mannheim and the ability to control muscles, the Book of Initiation opened up some new information to Dior. With muscle control as the main growth route in the future, then the whole cultivation will be divided into five stages, the first stage is the period of rapid growth, in this stage the speed of his cultivation will be very fast, until he reaches the node of 30% of the muscle strength of the whole body, he will enter the second stage of stability, then the speed of cultivation will slow down, the whole process is like a dry sponge thrown into water, at first it will absorb a lot of water, but after saturation, no amount of water will go in, unless the original volume of the sponge further increases。

Now Dior, whether it is speed, strength, visceral strength or skin toughness, has surpassed his twenty-five-year-old self, and every change in his body is as clear as if he has seen it with his own eyes, and he can even use the ability of muscle control to promote the growth and development of the body to a better state, becoming more perfect and stronger.

For martial artists, if they want to give full play to their maximum ability, then they must understand where their true limits are, understand the upper and lower limits of their strength, speed, explosiveness, endurance and other indicators, control every muscle, every bone and even every nerve, blood vessel, and skin inside and outside their body, and understand their structure, so that they can find the most suitable way to exert their power and use the body most effectively.

Therefore, many martial artists will learn certain medical skills, at least they also need some health skills, not for anything else, but to better understand themselves, so as to discover their greatest treasures.

And at this point, Dio, who has the ability to control muscles, has an advantage far beyond others, no one understands the mysteries of the body better than him, and his control of his body can even extend to every trace of muscle fibers, so to speak, when he awakens this ability, then he has laid a solid foundation for his martial arts path, and there will never be obstacles due to physical conditions.

However, the growth of the body is not unlimited, without a goal, if you want to fully exert the potential of the body, then strength, speed and other indicators need to reach a balance point, and it may be harmful to let the body grow indiscriminately. It's like if the strength is too great, then it will affect your agility and endurance, and vice versa.

As for how to find this balance, it is actually about the adaptation of body and technique. The body is the hardware, which determines the upper and lower limits of your own strength, and the skill is the software, which determines how many layers your own strength can play.

If you encounter an enemy with similar strength, generally speaking, if there is a powerful and unguardable move, then the winning rate will naturally be greatly improved, even if you are slightly weaker than the opponent, if you have skills to make up for it, it is not without a chance to defeat the opponent. Just like Dior in the battle on Mannheim Mountain, the real strength of the opponent was actually stronger than him, but in the end he survived, and this is the role of skill.

With Dior's current combat ability, in addition to the ability to use muscle control to simulate some similar animals, the rest is actually the fighting skills he learned in his previous life. These very continental fighting abilities were enough for him in his previous life, but for Dior, who is now in a period of rapid growth, it is a shackle.

He could clearly feel the faint awkwardness when using his fighting ability, as if his body was tied to a rope, with a suppressed feeling, and he was also vague about the direction of his body's growth in the future. The Dance of the Sun is not a technical ability for actual combat, so he now needs a higher level of martial arts so that he can find a way forward.

"The power needs to be fully exerted, the speed must be fast, and the explosive power cannot be ignored ......"

Dio thought about it, neither his previous fighting experience nor martial arts knowledge was enough for him to create such a technique, he had no clue at all, and those messages and experiences in the initial book did not mention similar content, this kind of thing can be said to be the crystallization of the wisdom of generations in this world, and it cannot be made casually.

Thinking of this, Dio remembered what the teacher who taught him fighting skills in his previous life had said.

"These things we cultivate are actually just very common public goods, just some power skills and basic fighting knowledge, these things can be said to be learned no matter which martial arts gym you go to, and they are all about the same. Learning these things to reach the level of a professional martial artist is already the limit, if you want to impact to a higher level, you need the secret martial arts and mystical martial arts that are only passed on to the core disciples by various martial arts sects, but it is not easy to become a core disciple, talent, luck and hard work are indispensable, you need to go through various tests, I can't do it, it depends on whether you have a chance in the future......"

Recalling this, Dio shook his head and said softly: "To become a core disciple, you must at least be observed by the martial arts hall master for more than two years, and you also need to go through many years of basic cultivation, this time is too long, and I don't know what year and month it will take to become a core disciple in this way." ”

By this time, the sky outside the window had completely brightened, and the sunlight had broken through the clouds, and the glass shone on him.

He looked up at the sun peeking out of the clouds, and a smile appeared on his lips.

"But it's okay, there are other ways to go. ”

The sunlight slowly moved down to his right hand, and there was an extra black card in his hand at this time, and two huge words on the front flashed in the sunlight - "Deathmatch".
