Chapter 51: Endure!

From the abdomen, the remaining medicinal power from the ‘Body Tempering Liquid’ was once again activated, the tepid medicinal power flowed from the abdomen to the shoulders, waist, and finally the legs.

“What’s going on?” Song Shuhang couldn’t help but pause, carefully reflecting on the experience earlier, and realized the main reason for that strange phenomenon; it was the Fist Scripture Chant!

When Shuhang recited the Fist Scripture Chant, the chant’s unique syllables and beat activated that strange power from Heaven and Earth, causing it to press down on his body, twine around his fist, turning his fist from ordinary to extraordinary.

This is a cultivator’s body tempering technique!

“Hehe, you felt that mysterious energy from Heaven and Earth didn’t you?” Medicine Master’s eyes squinted as he smiled, explaining, “This is the biggest difference between cultivators and martial artists of the mortal world, you can call it spirit qi, it’s just a name anyway, and this name should be more familiar to you.”

“This is spirit qi?” Song Shuhang was no stranger to that name, in fact, he had no way of escaping from that name.

“Therefore, the most important aspect of a Fist Technique is its ‘Chant’. Even if it’s the most basic Foundation Building training method, the chant would mobilize a faint spirit qi through its special sounds, which, in turn tempers and strengthens the body. That one punch of yours that you just did, has the same effect as a mortal world martial artist bitterly punching over three thousand times.” Medicine Master explained, “At this point, I have to congratulate you, little friend Shuhang. You possess the most basic apt.i.tude for cultivating; intimacy to spirit qi. Although this was already highly likely when you remained safe and sound after drinking the Simplified Body Tempering Liquid despite not training up to this age, it has now finally been confirmed.”

“Intimacy to spirit qi, does this also means that despite reciting the Fist Scripture Chant, not everybody would be able to mobilize the spirit qi of Heaven and Earth?” Song Shuhang was sharp enough to catch on to the deep meaning behind Medicine Master’s words, and asked.

“That’s right, being unable to mobilize the spirit qi of Heaven and Earth means being unable to complete foundation building, which means having no apt.i.tude for cultivation. This is the most basic requirement for cultivating.” Medicine Master smiled and said, “Now, don’t stop, and don’t waste effort on thinking. After Foundation Building Technique One, immediately move on to the next move. Don’t let your body be idle, the more tired you become, the more effective the Foundation Building Technique becomes.”

“Roger!” Song Shuhang resolutely said.

Thank goodness he came into contact with Nine Provinces (1) Group.

Thank goodness he met Soft Feather, Medicine Master, and the other seniors in the group.

Thank goodness he possessed a body that had intimacy to spirit qi.

He was very lucky, so he definitely mustn’t waste this luck and chance.

Stepping one foot forward, Song Shuhang recited Foundation Building Fist Technique Two’s Fist Scripture Chant, while the punch was executed with his hands.

There was only one stance in Foundation Building Fist Technique Two, he made accurate steps, while his fist was swung in an arc. The quick punch, was thrown like a meteor.

The body tempering effect was one step stronger than One’s. The spirit qi of Heaven and Earth coiled around his fist and shoulders. After ten consecutive punches, Shuhang felt his fists become abnormally heavy, as if there was a ma.s.sive weight added onto them.

*Bang bang bang!*

It was the sound of the fist tearing through the air.

Every punch consumed a large amount of energy, sweat poured. Just like the time he sprinted like crazy after consuming the Body Tempering Liquid, there were black impurities mixed in with the sweat.

A pleasantly surprised look showed in Shuhang’s eyes.

This time there was no need for Medicine Master’s reminder, as Foundation Building Fist Technique Three immediately followed.

Springing step, charging punch, turn the body to intercept opponent’s punch, false step, quick palm. The third move may be considered a fist technique, but it also had a palm strike and dragon claw mixed in. Palms like blades and hatchets, claws like dancing dragons.

*Hu hu hu* Shuhang’s breathing deepened, the remaining medicinal power in the ‘Body Tempering Liquid’ in his abdomen went along with the use of Foundation Building Fist Technique Three, and was completely dissolved in a single breath, spreading itself to every nook and corner of Shuhang’s body.

The next moment, he felt every muscle of his body vibrating, his heated body turned scarlet from the heat!

In the indescribable heat, there was a warm energy produced from his muscles; is this blood qi?

All that’s needed is to fill the body with it, then the overflowing qi and blood can flow into the ‘heart acupoint’, once the heart acupoint is filled, the first wisp of qi and blood will be formed, that is foundation building!

“From an ordinary person who never cultivated, after drinking the Simplified Body Tempering Liquid, just how far can you utilize ?Vajra Foundation Building Fist Technique? before collapsing?” Medicine Master crossed his arms, and spectated Song Shuhang’s training.

He didn’t tell Shuhang that ?Vajra Foundation Building Fist Technique? is not a skill a beginner could immediately use from start to end.
