Chapter 30: Chapter 30 Old Affairs, Hidden Dragon School Kungfu Body
Li Qi waved his hand, "It's all old stories. Back in the day, I and Girl Ning's grandmother were fond of each other and almost became a thing, but unfortunately, her husband didn't agree..."
Xue Jing: "¿"
"Go on."
Xue Jing rarely ignited with a gossip flame.
Li Qi touched his smooth bald spot, humbly said, "Hey, it's really nothing. When I was young, I looked quite decent, pretty much just like you, so there were more temptations around me.
Back then, I was still young and full of vigor, liked all those fighting and killing stuff, so I found a way to sneak into the famously notorious Dragon Cult. At that time, Girl Ning's grandfather hadn't become the Sect Hierarch yet. I was close to him like brothers, often visiting his house..."
Li Qi's eyes revealed nostalgia.
"The first time I saw sister-in-law, her buttocks..."
Xue Jing sat down, listened intently, afraid of missing a single word.
Who knew Li Qi would just smack his lips, "Alas, there's nothing good to say, the past is unbearable to recall."
Xue Jing got a bit anxious, "Don't stop, Master, tell me more."
Li Qi gave him a glance, "Are you here to learn martial arts or to listen to stories? Young people should not pry into the matters of the older generation."
Xue Jing moved his mouth, nearly cursed out loud.
Damn cliffhanger!
"Alright, let's hear this kind of things later, let's talk about serious matters now," Li Qi said.
Xue Jing gathered himself and nodded in agreement, "Yes."
"Come here, let me check your bone." Li Qi waved him over.
Xue Jing walked up to him.
"Stretch out your hand."
Xue Jing did as he was told.
Li Qi stretched out his somewhat withered palm, grabbed Xue Jing's wrist, and gave it a vigorous shake like he was flipping noodles!
Xue Jing only felt an irresistible formidable force pouring into his body through his wrist.
He felt like a small boat amidst stormy waves, involuntarily making various movements, his bones making a series of crackling sounds.
"Hmm... Huh?"
Li Qi, using the feedback from the transfer of power, probed Xue Jing's body, initially puzzled, then surprised.
"What kind of exercise do you do usually?"
He asked, puzzled.
Xue Jing said, "Just some running and stuff, nothing else really."
After hearing that, Li Qi murmured, "Impossible, can it really be?"
He lifted his head, his originally cloudy old eyes now frighteningly bright, "Do you, lad, know what condition your body is in?"
Xue Jing, a bit unsettled, asked in confusion, "What's wrong, Master? Is my health not good?"
"Not good?" Li Qi shook his head, seemingly wanting to laugh.
"It's not that it's not good, it's too good, to an almost impossible level."
"Your body, is like it was made by some god with obsessive-compulsive disorder, every muscle, every bone, every organ… all balanced and perfect to a frightening extent."
Li Qi marveled endlessly, stroking the muscles on Xue Jing's forearm as if they were a rare treasure.
"If it weren't for my certainty that I have nothing worth coveting, I would definitely think you were a manufactured genius created by those big corporations with technological means."
"I never imagined that such a perfect human physique could actually exist in this world..."
Xue Jing narrowed his eyes.
There was no doubt, it was because of the Skill Panel.
Since he had activated the Skill Panel, especially after activating the "fighting" skill, his body had transformed into this state.
In some respects, he was indeed the 'man-made genius' Li Qi spoke of.
"Little Jing,"
Li Qi's gaze towards him grew much more eager.
"Without a doubt, you are the most suitable person in the world to cultivate the Hidden Dragon School."
"If it's you, you can surely cultivate the most perfect Hidden Dragon Kungfu Body."
"Kungfu Body?" Xue Jing's gaze shifted.
He heard a new term again.
Li Qi smiled and said, "The so-called 'Kungfu Body' is the physique gradually tempered by cultivating a complete set of martial arts from a specific school."
"Each school's martial arts practices and fighting skills are different, each with its own focus, whether it be flexibility and swiftness or powerful forcefulness. People practicing different martial arts will eventually develop a physique suited to their martial arts."
"Just like how a sprinter's leg muscles are definitely more developed, a fighter's muscle structure is completely different from that of a basketball player. This body, trained to adapt to different things, is the Kungfu Body."
"For example, the Golden Wind Dojo you know of, their school is named Golden Wind White Rainbow Sword. Once the Kungfu Body is fully cultivated there, the internal structure of the body is completely different from ordinary people, capable of generating sharp force like a blade.
Hitting someone with a fist is like slicing them with a knife, tearing off a large chunk of flesh with each pull and even using a Palm Knife to chop off a person's head is not difficult."
Xue Jing's eyes lit up with excitement, "Then what are the characteristics of our Hidden Dragon Kungfu Body?"
Li Qi smiled, "The features of our Hidden Dragon Kungfu Body can be said to exist, yet also not exist."
Xue Jing: "Hmm?"
Li Qi said with a bit of smugness, "Hexagonal Warrior, ever heard of it?"
"The core philosophy of our Hidden Dragon School is eight words—'Hide the Dragon in the Body, Nourish the Dragon in the Heart.'
"Once the Kungfu Body is fully developed, it's like having a whole True Dragon hidden inside your body, large or small, ascending or hiding, agile, with speed, strength, defense, penetration...encompassing everything, possessing five ultimate moves, three Ultimate Skills, capable of handling all situations, without any weakness."
He then sighed, "Of course, excelling in everything often means dilution in all aspects. Hidden Dragon School demands extremely high physical talent; those without enough talent will only become mediocrities if they cultivate Hidden Dragon School."
"Even your senior brothers and sisters don't all possess sufficient talent. Although they also cultivate Hidden Dragon School, they each find ways to alter their training methods, developing other Kungfu Bodies with different focuses."
Li Qi patted Xue Jing on the shoulder, saying, "Your physical talent is the greatest I've seen in my life, so balanced it's unbelievable, perfectly suited for the 'Hexagonal' philosophy of Hidden Dragon School."
Sounds awesome...
Xue Jing eagerly said, "Please teach me, Master."
Li Qi laughed, "Okay, no time like the present. Today I will first teach you about Static Posture from Hidden Dragon School's Dynamic and Static Postures—the Coiling Dragon Art."
He grabbed Xue Jing's hand and with just a shake, force extended through the palm into Xue Jing's body, controlling his movements.
Uncontrollably, Xue Jing's legs spread apart, his torso leaned to the maximum limit to the left, his hands clenched into fists beside his ears, and his whole body crackled with a sound like bones popping, his posture resembling that of a dormant dragon.
"Remember this pose, as well as the corresponding breath and the tremors of force on various nodes of the body."
Li Qi instructed.
"Coiling Dragon Art, this posture aims at 'Cultivating Dragon Qi', is cultivated by meditatively visualizing the dragon's posture, mimicking the appearance of a dragon, thus nurturing an overwhelming presence of Dragon Qi."
"Once you are proficient in this posture, I'll teach you the Dynamic Posture 'Armor Shaking Skill' to 'Train Dragon Strength.'
Xue Jing spoke not, focusing entirely on memorizing all the changes inside and outside his body at the moment.
