Outside the city of Guangzhou, Xishan Ridge.

Xishan Ridge is not big, it is not a famous mountain, only a few hundreds of meters high mountains are connected, there is no famous scenic spot or cultural landscape, the only special scenery is a cliff in the south of Xishan Ling. The south cliff is more than 30 zhang high from the ground, like a knife cutting, straight and steep, the rock wall is smooth as a mirror, even the most daring herb pickers, do not dare to climb.

At this time, it is the early morning of midsummer, and the morning sun has just emerged, because of the height difference, the temperature up and down the south cliff is very different, and the atmospheric convection movement is frequent, resulting in a cold mountain wind and violent violence.

And on the south cliff where the mountain wind was howling, there stood a person, a young man, whose face looked very immature, but his body was strong and tall, a head taller than his peers, and red. The naked upper body is full of strong muscles, eight-pack abs, showing beautiful lines and full of masculine strength. He is Chen Qi, who is ten years old today, but he has grown into a little adult.

Now, he was standing on the edge of the cliff, only to see his feet spread horizontally, slightly wider than his shoulders, his legs slightly bent, into a high horse stake, his arms slowly raised to shoulder level, elbows slightly below his shoulders, his shoulder blades were firmly attached to his chest, his arms were in a ring in front of his chest, the ten fingers of his hands were naturally open and curved, resembling tiger claws, the top of his head was erect, and his eyes were looking straight ahead.

The violent mountain wind was howling, but Chen Qi's body did not move at all, like a steel nail nailed there. However, from his slightly trembling eyelids and the twitching corners of his mouth, it can be seen that his mood is not calm.

By chance, Chen Qi found that he had an extremely serious fear of heights like in his previous life, which shows that his fear of heights is largely a psychological problem. As soon as he reached a slightly higher place, he involuntarily became nervous, his heart beat faster, his limbs were weak, his face was pale, and he couldn't stand steadily.

How can this work? Chen Qi's goal is to be a martial arts master who comes and goes, flying up and down. Has anyone heard that martial arts masters commit fear of heights? If you fly too high, your fear of heights will attack and you will fall, which is definitely a tragedy and a joke.

So, for a year, Chen Qiji went to the edge of the south cliff every day to practice national arts, practicing courage, and the effect was very obvious, although he could not completely eliminate his fear, he could already control himself. What surprised him a little was that his mental strength and willpower had unconsciously increased a lot, and his mood had improved greatly.

After all, to practice martial arts, you must first train your courage, and when you fight, your courage is insufficient, and you can't give full play to your ten-layer strength.

After standing for a while, Chen Qi got up, moved his body, and the bones and joints of his whole body crackled, like thunder, this is the sound of muscles and bones, and only by reaching the peak of Mingjin can he barely do it.

Human movement is completed by controlling muscles and bones through the nervous system, in which muscles convert biological energy into physical kinetic energy and provide a source of force, while bones are like levers that transmit force using the principle of simple levers.

Ordinary people punch and kick out, only using a small part of the muscles, but the practitioner of national arts, when the kung fu reaches a certain level, every punch, most of the muscles and bones of the whole body are moving, the whole body strength is integrated together, and the power is transmitted up and down unimpeded, also called kone, which is a sign that the Ming Jin cultivation in the national art has reached its peak.

Chen Qi turned around, took half a step with his left foot, shifted his center of gravity slightly forward, and the force started from his feet, from the dantian at his waist, from his back to his shoulders, and reached his arm, and punched straight into the air, "Bang!"

It is hard to buy a sound, and hitting the air is like a real place, which proves that the speed and power of Chen Qi's punches are very terrifying, and his kung fu has reached a certain level.

With the growth of age, physical development, coupled with various tonic nourishment, and hard practice of national arts, Chen Qi's whole body musculoskeletal has become very strong and tough, so he began to practice boxing, that is, external skills.

In the early morning morning, there was a crisp snapping sound on the south cliff, Chen Qi practiced the five elements of boxing splitting, collapsing, drilling, cannon, horizontal, and then the five elements combined together the twelve shapes of Xingyi; and then the five hammers of Taijiquan: moving block hammering, skimming body hammering, elbow bottom hammering, finger crotch hammering, planting hammering, three whips: single whip, double whip, opening and closing whip hand, seven cannons: such as the heart cannon, chain cannon, cupola cannon and so on.

Chen Qi majored in Xingyi Boxing, after Dacheng, he practiced Taijiquan, for the Baguazhang, only slightly involved, only practiced the old eight palms: that is, single palm, double palm, homeopathic palm, back palm, turn over palm, grinding palm, three wear palms and back palms, others such as Luohan hands, seventy-two dark feet, seventy-two truncated legs, etc., just understand. After all, the inheritance of Baguazhang is too messy, and there are too many stunts and secret skills.

After so many times of boxing practice, Chen Qi was covered in sweat, wiped his sweat, drank a few sips of homemade iced black tea brought by his family, and after resting for a while, he got up and continued to practice. The boxing techniques he practiced just now were all using the Ming Jin power method, and now he felt that his kung fu had reached a certain level, and it was time to practice the dark energy.

The so-called dark energy is just a method of exerting force, and it is not very accurate to divide it as a realm of national art cultivation. For most people, dark energy is very mysterious, what exactly it is, there are different opinions, most people believe that dark energy is a cultivator to punch a mysterious qi into the enemy's body, destroying the internal organs.

This statement is very unscientific, the earth is a material world, there is no extraordinary power in the human body, and there is no national art cultivator in the body, everyone is just misled by martial arts novels, and the dark energy and internal strength are confused.

The main reason why dark energy is called dark energy is that the person who is injured by dark energy does not seem to be seriously injured on the surface, but all the internal organs are seriously injured, and this kind of strength is hidden and insidious, so it is called dark energy.

Among the practitioners of national arts, there are many who practice hard skills, such as the famous golden bell jar iron cloth shirt, the practitioner hits the whole body through external force, increases his ability to resist blows, supplemented by muscle-generating and blood-invigorating herbs, stimulates the growth of muscle deformities, and washes the body with the mind internally to strengthen the control of muscles.

After the hard work was accomplished, the cultivator's mind moved, and all his muscles bulged, and he used his will to make them tightly bind, hard as a steel plate, flexible as rubber, and full of elasticity. When a cultivator fights against a person, when he is punched, most of the strength is absorbed by the elastic muscles, and the remaining strength cannot penetrate the muscle defense, and when he punches others, the enemy will be injured.

In order to crack the defense of hard skills, the masters of national art pondered and meditated, and finally invented the method of dark energy.

"Chest broken boulder," everyone has seen or heard, a big hammer smashed the slate, the slate shattered, and the people below were unharmed, because the kinetic energy was absorbed by the slate.

But if someone puts his foot on the stone slab and steps on it suddenly, he will ensure that the person below vomits three liters of blood. Although there is a factor of the weight of the slate itself, more importantly, the force of the foot will be transmitted to the person below.

The muscles of the whole body of a hard gong cultivator are like the stone slab on the chest, and if you want to break the defense, you must stick to the muscles in your chest and suddenly exert force. But the enemy won't stand stupidly and let you fight, and the fist that doesn't exert force has no speed and won't hit anyone at all.

Dark energy perfectly solves this problem, its key lies in the second explosion, one force hits the enemy, and the second time is close to the enemy's skin between square inches of explosive power, this explosive power, with penetrating power, penetrates the enemy's muscle composition of defense, and goes straight to the internal organs.

Dark energy is just a general speech, many schools of national arts have their own dark energy methods, such as the half-step collapse of Xingyi boxing, the inch strength of Wing Chun, etc., among which the name of inch strength is the most vivid, dark energy is the power that erupts between square inches near the enemy's body.

Chen Qi wants to practice the half-step collapse boxing in Xingyi boxing, which was created by Mr. Guo Yunshen, a master of national arts, and carried him forward, and won the reputation of "half-step collapse boxing all over the world".

To practice half-step collapse boxing, you must have a goal, release dark energy into the air, and you must achieve chemical energy, otherwise it is easy to injure yourself.

Chen Qi came to the woods, where a sandbag had been hung. I saw him take a deep breath, his left foot suddenly took a big step, his right foot followed half a step, his legs were slightly bent, his left hand stepped forward and grabbed the sandbag, his right hand clenched his fist between his waist and abdomen, his right leg suddenly straightened out, his will control the muscles of the whole body bulging, and his right fist suddenly exerted force, punching on the sandbag.

Because the left hand was tightly grasped, the sandbag did not shake, at this time, Chen Qi's fist hit the sandbag, his arm was completely straight, and the force was already old, ordinary people had to withdraw their fists in order to continue attacking, and the mystery of the half-step collapse fist lies in this.

Note that at the beginning, Chen Qi's legs were slightly bent, his fists were withdrawn to hit people, and his legs were bent to exert force, at this time his right leg was already straight, but his left leg was still slightly bent, so he could exert force a second time.

Inhaling again, Chen Qi's whole body muscles relaxed and contracted, and his slightly bent left leg suddenly stepped on the ground, the force rose from the ground, rising from the dantian, the muscles of the whole body suddenly expanded, and the force was transmitted to the right fist, and the muscles of the right arm bulged out under the will, and the fierce force broke out again, because the right fist was close to the sandbag, and the left hand did not need to let go, so the strong two-stage force of the right fist penetrated the sandbag and went deep into it.
