Chapter 61: Secrets
Cage area.
The afternoon session was clearly coming to an end.
Except for Sylvia and Dick, who fought for their lives in cages with a grouper tiger and a large brown bear, the rest of the apprentices were more or less wrapped in blood-stained bandages and watched from the outside.
Laugh at!
Inadvertently catching a glimpse of Raymond's figure walking slowly, Sylvia was slightly distracted and cut the front of the sideways of the grouper's claws, revealing a half of the blue corset of the same color as her hair, and the rounded curve aroused reverie.
Sylvia was ashamed and angry, screamed, and launched a round of fierce attacks on the grouper with a burst of speed, causing the grouper to dodge left and right, almost thinking that it was a tigress in front of him.
The apprentices watching the battle did not have the slightest intention of gloating, nor were they in the mood to look at Sylvia's sudden spring, and their eyes only wandered back and forth between the battle movements of Sylvia and Dick.
Tortured by the clones&&&&&, they can't wait to seize every opportunity and absorb the combat experience like a sponge.
Only Raymond looked at the blue round eyes openly, thinking back to the full pair of good hands that night, he couldn't help but dimple and show a smile that a man understands.
As for the performance of the two against the clone beast, he could only say that he couldn't bear to look at it directly - ten fights like this were not as experienced as he had gained from fighting the leopard-headed man, no wonder the third senior brother Andrew thought that he didn't need to participate in this level of actual combat training anymore!
If everyone else was at this level, he felt like he could take on all the apprentices alone!
Suddenly, Dick, who had a huge physical exertion, was slow in his movements, and he was about to bite the head of the big brown bear's blood basin, Andrew, who was standing like an iron tower outside the cage, sighed lightly and waved his hand unhurriedly.
Call!
A furious rush of energy pierced the air through the cage, separating Dick and the brown bear in a moment's time.
The big brown bear was like a thunderbolt, and the burly body of the man trembled, and finally tilted to the side and crawled to the ground again.
"Okay, Sylvia, you can stop too, that's all for today's practical lesson!"
Andrew's announcement made Sylvia feel relieved, opened the cage and walked out, it is not difficult to see that she has been abused out of the psychological shadow, and has a little war-weariness.
But this is the first day of the practical class!
Dick staggered out of the cage as well, like a child who had made a mistake, and kept his head down and did not dare to look at Andrew.
Andrew didn't even look at him either.
This kind of cowardly mentality like a primary school student can only show that he has not yet been able to adapt to the transformation from an ordinary person to a martial artist, and has not given birth to the consciousness of a martial artist.
In the world of warriors, the brave win when they meet on a narrow road, there is only life and death, there is no right or wrong!
At some point, life and death have to be put aside!
Andrew ignored the apprentices and turned to leave, and Raymond hurriedly followed.
"I heard that you were injured outside, and you used a quick healing?"
"Yes, the enemy is a snow leopard beast-mimicking ability!" Raymond said bluntly, there was no need to hide such a thing.
"It's not a bad thing to fight and get injured, but you have to be cautious about healing quickly......" Andrew looked rude, but at this time he showed a delicate side when he was serious, "Not only because rapid healing will overdraw the life of cells, but also because it is not conducive to cultivating the body's fighting consciousness!"
"Body's sense of battle?" Raymond's eyes lit up.
"Not bad...... Andrew walked calmly, "although science has not yet been definitive, but a martial artist who has reached a certain level can feel that the human body has a memory, and the memory of injury is still profound." β
"Therefore, except for serious visceral or bone injuries, it is best for the body to heal naturally from general trauma, so that the body's memory can be deepened, and the chance of making the same mistake again in the future will be reduced......
"Physical memory?" Raymond asked, recalling the biological knowledge he had learned in his two lifetimes, "Is it muscle memory, or cellular memory?"
"It's all and it's not!" Andrew took the trouble to explain: "Cellular memory is quite weak and unformed, and the memory effect of muscles comes from conditioned reflexes, after the same action is repeated countless times, muscles will form conditioned reflexes, so the speed at which muscles acquire memories is actually very slow, but once obtained, the speed of forgetting is also very slow." β
"In the era of ancient martial arts, the reason why the master asked his disciples to practice the cold weapon tricks day after day, month after month, was to cultivate muscle memory, so that when facing the enemy, they could use the corresponding moves quickly and quickly without thinking. β
However, because of the complexity and changeability of the combat mode and environment, the fixed three or five kinds of tricks and routines can no longer meet the needs, so there is no longer a hard limit on the moves, so the requirements for the personal combat quality of the warrior are bound to be higher. β
"The so-called combat consciousness of the body, including but not limited to cellular memory and muscle memory, is also mixed with various sensory senses and many other factors of the body, organically combined to form an intangible whole, once it is successful, it has a premonition of crisis, rapid response and other strange abilities. β
"Some call it the sixth sense, or extrasensory, while others call it the body's fuzzy perception......"
"For a martial artist, it is the comprehensive result of all the hard training and actual combat experience in the past, which at first glance seems to be a conditioned reflex, but in fact it is more than a simple conditioned reflex, far more complete, more keen, and more bizarre, more like a pure physical intuition beyond the heart and mind. β
"On the other hand, it is the telepathy that is not seen or heard, and is avoided by feeling danger!"
"Whether it's telepathy or physical intuition, one of the two is the one that really opens the door to the undefeated powerhouse!"
"Although this is a high-level and profound realm that can only be formally cultivated at the B-level or even A-level level, if you cultivate it intentionally in advance, you will naturally be of infinite use in the future......
"I understand!" Raymond nodded solemnly, and instead asked the doubts that had been buried in his heart for a long time: "Why is it that when the martial arts hall mentions B-level and A-level secret martial arts, it is often vague?"
"Until now, we only know that C-level is the main cultivation of qi, and we don't know anything about what B-level and A-level secret martial artists are cultivating......
"I thought you would endure it for a long time......" Andrew smiled rarely, but that smile was enough to stop the child from crying at night, "I think I endured it and endured it back then, and I couldn't help but ask this question to the senior brother after barely holding on for a month!"
"Now, I'll repeat the answer that Senior Brother gave me back thenβin your opinion, what should secret martial arts focus on cultivating at the B-level and A-level stages?"
Raymond was stunned for a moment, then frowned and thought about it.
Andrew was full of interest, "A little hint for you, don't be confused by the inherent concept of so-called martial arts, think more about the enemies of our secret martial artists......"
"The enemy of the secret warrior?" Raymond perked up and his thoughts became clearer, "Yes, just like biological evolution, no matter what kind of superpower, the trajectory of its evolution and upgrade is the history of struggle and evolution against natural enemies. β
"According to the information contained in the martial arts hall, in the entire transcendent world now, the enemies of the secret warriors, in addition to the various types of secret warriors with different division of labor, the most common is of course the elite of thermal weapons, followed by a variety of strange ability races, biochemical weapons (biochemical transformation of humans or beasts), going back to the past, there are alchemists, mages, warlocks, onmyoji, shamans, ninjas, witches from the Eastern Continent, magicians, witches, witchers, priests, priests, knights, ...... from the Western Continent."
"However, to sum up, the abilities of these superpowers can be roughly divided into three categories - physics, energy, and spirit!"
"Our secret martial artists cultivate fists and feet, blades, and supreme true qi or fighting qi, which already includes the physics department and the energy department, if you want to have no shortcomings, then you should cultivate spiritual power!"
"Could it be that the focus of cultivation for B-level and A-level secret martial artists will shift to spiritual power?"
After the words fell, Raymond stared at Andrew with blazing eyes.
"Yes, not all right!" Andrew shook his head slowly, "B-level and A-level do include spiritual power in the cultivation process, but from beginning to end, the core of our secret martial artists is the cultivation of qi!"
"Even if you cultivate spiritual power, the purpose is to improve the realm of qi!"
Lei Meng's eyes flashed, the secret martial true qi was really different from the Jindan Avenue in the previous life, after refining and refining qi, it was not even a god of refining qi, although he could also refine a god, but it was still centered on refining qi!
Andrew's expression became more and more serious, "This involves this planet, even this galaxy, this galaxy group, the ultimate mystery of the laws of nature!"
"Not only B-level and A-level, but even in the process of breaking through C-level, condensing true qi, and circulating the breath in the body into qi energy and releasing it, this mystery will also be used, but the level is relatively shallow!"
"Even so, the initial stage of the C-level is only a thin line apart from the D-level consummation, but it has undergone earth-shaking changes, and the C-level martial artist is the official member of the transcendent circle. β
"Not only us warriors, but also other transcendent beings such as supernatural beings, witches, and magicians, are still supernatural beings, and rely on this mystery more than our martial artists. β
"After all, if there is no such mystery, we martial artists are still martial artists, and we can still have sympathy, breath circulation, and qi energy through penance, just because true qi is derived from the potential of life, a kind of biological energy inherent in the human body, and it is not transferred by external factors. β
"The power is greatly reduced when the maximum energy is released......"
Raymond's expression moved when he heard this, and Andrew cast an approving gaze when he saw this: "I think you also feel that as long as the internal breath is condensed to a certain extent, it can be turned into qi without this kind of mystery." β
"Of course, with this kind of mystery, the power of the outward release of qi can be multiplied geometrically. β
"But the Stranger is different......"
Andrew showed a mocking smile, "Once you wake up, you can get the magical powers that mortals dream of, which can be described as pie in the sky, but in this world, how can there be a free lunch?"
"Energy, which is always conserved, cannot be created in a vacuum, and the same is true for abilities. β
"The appearance of the supernatural is because of this mystery, and the energy consumed by the supernatural when exerting their abilities mainly comes from this mystery, once this mystery is gone, the vast majority of the supernatural people will be beaten back to their original form at one time!"
It gradually became clear to Raymond that this mystery must be the fundamental factor that he had been secretly suspecting, causing the development of supernatural forces in this world to be diametrically opposed to the earth in his previous life.
The eyes were shining: "Is this mystery related to the era of the cataclysm hundreds of years ago?"
"Looks like you've guessed it......" Andrew dismayed, "a lot of smart people can guess it, but it's impossible to know more." β
"Because in modern times, for the sake of long-term peace and stability, those in power in all regions of the world have consciously or unintentionally blocked this truth to avoid the emergence of too many superpowers who are difficult to control. β
"Even more than 30 years ago, the official initiative of the three continents, the world's major super-energy organizations and scientific research organizations also jointly discussed and signed the relevant non-proliferation treaty, and later the "Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons" was born. β
"The general stipend of the treaty is that the new members of the various super-energy organizations are not allowed to tell the specific details of this mystery until they have reached the necessary level, and for us secret warriors, that is, before reaching the D-level consummation, we are not qualified to know the truth......
"The reason why the major superpower organizations agreed to sign this treaty is that in addition to jointly monopolizing the ascent path of the superpowers, more importantly, this mystery is not the cosmic law that has existed in this galaxy since ancient times, but only appeared in the era of cataclysm......
Raymond's heart was stirring when he heard it, although Andrew was vague and perhaps Andrew himself knew very little, but Raymond still had a vague guess about the so-called "mystery".
It's a pity that he can't know more now.
Andrew suddenly changed the topic: "Your field mission has been settled, go to the logistics room to get a set of equipment later, and the other party will take the initiative to contact your ...... tomorrow"
