C6 Recultivating Martial Arts
Early morning, the cold air curled up.
At the back garden of the Pingyuan Marquis Residence, a frail body was practicing a set of complex fist techniques. Although he was still unable to unleash the fist force and wind of the Martial Cultivator, his posture was rather standard, and he had an impression of his own.
The youth wore an open set of blue training clothes, revealing his bare arms. His body was already covered in fine beads of sweat, but he still clenched his teeth, his expression solemn.
Originally, Gu Yu requested for a leave of absence from Imperial Guards to help Gu Fann break through to Middle Heaven Level, but because of Gu Yu's accidental disappearance, he had no choice but to rely on himself. Gu Fann hadn't even slept well the previous night, so he was worried about his eldest son from his previous life and the older brother in this life. However, he had heard from Madam Yu Jue that Gu Yu was extremely filial and filial. Even if he had something to do throughout the day, he would send someone to bring a letter back to Pingyuan Marquis Manor so that Madam Yu Jue wouldn't be worried about him. Sometimes, when it was really inconvenient for him to send a message back to Pingyuan Marquis Manor, he would send a passerby a message back to Pingyuan Marquis Manor and then go to the office to collect a silver tael as a reward.
Madam Yu Jue had also asked Gu Fann's story in detail at dinner yesterday. Madam Yu Jue guessed that Gu Fann might have gone out to fight against injustice, gotten into trouble, and didn't dare return to Marquis Mansion. Gu Fann saw deep worry on her face. Obviously, she could only use this excuse to comfort him. Similarly, Gu Fann also felt the same way.
Gu Fann stopped the last move and put his hands on his waist. He let out a long sigh of relief, but he could no longer hide his fatigue. After all, even though he possessed strong willpower, he wasn't someone who could be struck by iron. Four consecutive hours of boxing wasn't considered boring, but exhaustion was inevitable.
At this time, he had not yet entered the Middle Heaven Level, and the only thing he had consumed to execute his punches was his physical strength, which was unable to absorb Heaven and Earth Genuine Qi. The only way to replenish his energy was to eat, eat a lot, and only when it was almost noon and there was still a long time until lunch.
Gu Fann retracted his fists and put his fists on his waist. He habitually clasped his hands in front of his face and bowed. This was a habit that he had learnt from his master when he was practicing martial arts in his previous life. After doing this, Gu Fann couldn't help but think of his previous life, when he was still a child, taught by his master deep in the mountains.
At this moment, not only was time passing by in a blur, but things had changed for different people. Gu Fann sighed with emotion.
Gu Fann walked forward a few steps and found a stone bench to sit on. The maid who served Gu Fann at the side hastily went up and brewed a bowl of tea for him.
Seemingly extremely thirsty, Gu Fann actually picked up the tea bowl and started gulping down the tea, which made the servant girl beside him stare.
When Gu Fann put down the tea bowl, he heaved a sigh of relief and started to feel the changes in his body.
The boxing style that he had performed just now was called the "Five Element Fist" and it was the most basic boxing style that had been taught in the military. In the martial way, it was believed that the human body and the five elements restrained each other. The lungs belonged to the metal, the liver to the wood, the kidneys to the water, the heart to the fire, the spleen to the earth. Therefore, the Five Elements Fists were also divided into the "Five Techniques" and the "Five Elements Fists". Furthermore, the purpose of this set of basic fist techniques was to allow the most ordinary soldiers to use the Five Element Boxing to strengthen their bodies and make it difficult for them to be killed by the enemies on the battlefield.
At this moment, his thin body had been continuously practicing the Five Element Boxing for two hours. Gu Fann's foundation was very poor and his strength in muscle was almost negligible; he was just a white-faced scholar without even a little bit of strength. If you compared his current body to a teacup, practicing the Five Element Boxing for two hours was like draining all the water in the cup without leaving a single drop.
But when Gu Fann calmed down, adjusted his breathing, and closed his eyes to meditate, he felt an irresistible tiredness. At the same time, he was pleasantly surprised to discover another phenomenon.
"There is heaven and earth origin energy!" Gu Fann raised his head with a joyful expression, "I can feel that the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi is gradually seeping into my body."
When he was executing his punching routine, he had been trying to absorb the energy of heaven and earth using the Middle Heaven Level from his memory. As expected, the training method after becoming familiar with the technique was much more effective than the one before!
Actually, Gu Fann knew that the heaven and earth origin energy was only at the Foundation Establishment stage of cultivation. The heaven and earth was filled with endless and powerful origin energy. The first step of martial arts cultivation was to absorb the formless and omnipresent origin energy of the world into the body, refine the body, and build up the foundation of martial arts. Only when one's physical body was strong enough would it be able to contain even more strength.
Therefore, Gu Fann was very meticulous in his boxing style. He was afraid that his foundation would be bad and affect his future development. However, fifteen days of time was more than enough time to step into the Middle Heaven Level.
Using Gu Yu who had advanced in Heaven Level as a reference point, it seemed like Gu Fann's talent was also extremely good in this life.
Gu Fann stood up and took a deep breath to calm his joy of advancing to the next level. He turned around and called the servant girl to prepare some food for him in the kitchen.
This time, Gu Fann had integrated the Yuan Qi that he had just absorbed into his fist art. When he used the Five Element Fist in his hand, it was already a completely different scene!
"Golden Core Wu Zhao!" The punch that Gu Fann threw out was like a tiger or a tiger, it suddenly exploded and caused a slight explosion sound in the air.
"Gale Grass!" The power of the first punch was still there. Gu Fann had already moved forward a bit, but with the gravity in front of him, his left hand, which was in front of him, suddenly rotated and a palm came slashing down.
Gu Fann kicked at the air in front of him with his right foot. His body spun in the air using that power. His lower body slightly bent and he clenched his fists as he charged forward. It was the third move, "Immeasurable Sea".
Following that, that person's body suddenly leaped up. His hands were like two iron hammers as he ruthlessly controlled two gusts of air to smash onto the ground. The fake mountain in front of him was unexpectedly jolted by this violent force.
Gu Fann retracted his fist, and a look of gratification appeared on his exhausted face. If not for Gu Fann's memories of his previous life, it would have been impossible for him to use a fist to shake the boulder before stepping into the Middle Heaven Level.
After all, a person's physical strength is limited. Although Gu Fann was strong in his previous life, his current body is still that of a sickly, weak scholar. He felt exhausted several times and was about to fall to the ground to lie down, but he clenched his teeth and persevered on.
Those who could advance to the Star Rank or even the peak of the martial way in the future, even if they were not Grandmasters of martial arts, must have a firm mind and a will like King Kong, because learning martial arts meant they had to transcend mortality. And to do this, one had to pay a price, the amount of tempering they received would be countless times greater than ordinary people!
It was no wonder that Gu Yun was able to become a heaven-defying expert with an extraordinary Gu Family. In this life, he practiced his set of Five Element Boxing until late at night.
However, the Second Young Master of the Gu Family instantly changed from a refined scholar to a Martial Cultivator that reeked of sweat. Not to mention his mother Madam Yu Jue, even the servants and maids were all surprised.
When Gu Fann was resting, he ate three big bowls of food in one go. Afterwards, he even went back to the back garden to continue practicing his boxing. When he looked around, there was no one around him.
He discovered that even though the star force from his previous life had lost its foundation, he was still able to clearly remember those moves. As long as his strength had reached that level, he would be able to freely execute them. Thinking of this, Gu Fann stretched his muscles as if he was satisfied with the results of today's first day of training. He returned to his room and fell into a deep sleep.
