Chapter 129: Practicing external skills, unexpected gains

When practicing hard martial arts outside, you usually only need to be able to endure the pain and have money to buy medicine, and you can basically achieve success in practice.

Even if you can't stand the pain and someone forces you to practice, as long as you use medicinal baths and ointments, you may not be unable to practice.

But to practice hard skills internally, it really requires extremely strong willpower to be successful in practice.

In the midst of great pain, one must remain relatively awake to control one's internal forces and prevent one's internal forces from getting out of control. This is definitely not something that everyone can do.

Especially since this kind of pain is increasing gradually, training skin, training meat, training bones, training muscles... The initial skin training may be fine, but when it comes to muscle training, 90% of the world's pain will be lost.

The warrior brushed it off.

The bone training that comes later will be even more terrifying. The pain that penetrates the bones will become a real adjective. The person who can stay awake under this kind of pain and control the internal force for training must have a willpower of abnormal level!

Of course, if you want to practice cultivation by reducing internal force output, reducing pain, etc., that is indeed a method, but the cultivation effect is...

It is quite rare for you to become a second-rate warrior in your lifetime.

In the world of martial arts, one or two can be seen from time to time who can become first-class masters through external hard skills training, but who can become first-class masters through internal hard skills training. Currently, the only one famous in the world is the Evil Vajra Kung Fu.

This shows how difficult it is to practice hard martial arts internally.

This is still one of the difficulties.

For martial artists who practice hard internal skills, there is another big problem - internal strength.

That's right.

It’s inner strength!

The biggest difference between internal martial arts practitioners and external martial arts practitioners is that internal martial arts practitioners must use internal strength.

This characteristic that belongs exclusively to internal martial arts practitioners has also become a limitation on it.

Internal martial arts practitioners need to use internal strength to practice. Naturally, the more internal strength, the better the effect. However, people who practice hard martial arts are often not talented in internal martial arts...

If you are not naturally gifted in internal strength, you will naturally not have much internal strength. If you don’t have much internal strength, the effect of practicing hard skills will naturally not be good.

This is a dead end.

at the same time.

There is another problem that causes the poor results of hard kung fu training, and that is the problem of the efficiency of internal force transfer to the whole body.

By just opening up the Dantian, you can also circulate your internal energy throughout your body, but the efficiency is...

If the Twelve Meridians are highways, the internal force can be compared to a car.

Then after opening up the Twelve Meridians, this 'car' can pass through these twelve highways and travel to all parts of the body at extremely fast speeds and with extremely low losses.

Without clearing the twelve rules, this car is equivalent to running wildly on a completely undeveloped land. Things like speed and loss are easy to understand without even thinking about it.

In order not to be held back in this regard, internal martial arts practitioners must at least open up one meridian in each limb so that internal energy can circulate throughout the body quickly and with low loss.

Therefore, the second-rate internal martial arts practitioners you see in the martial arts world are often third-rate internal martial arts practitioners. A first-rate internal martial arts practitioner such as Evil Vajra Cao Quan is himself a second-rate internal martial arts practitioner.

When the internal training of hard skills relies so much on internal strength, if he does not have enough internal strength to support him, it will be difficult for him to reach the level of a first-class internal martial arts practitioner.

After watching the difficult internal training of hard skills, Xu Yi only had one thought in his mind.

"It seems that practicing hard kung fu here is very suitable for me?"

Willpower?

Are you talking about this with someone who can practice the "Evil Sword Manual"?

Internal force?

He is a first-class martial artist who has mastered ten serious principles. Is it difficult for him to practice first-class hard skills?

If that doesn't work, he can still take drugs!

Just take the Shiquan Dabu Pill as a blue pill. Wouldn’t it give you as much internal energy as you need?

The more Xu Yi thought about it, the more he felt in his heart.

"Practice and see!"

Originally, he was not planning to practice now. Compared with internal strength, external power is called another path for warriors, and it is even a more difficult path. He felt that his practice for a day or two would basically not achieve any results.

.

It is better to wait until you are free in the future and then practice specifically.

But when he finished reading "Bronze Statue Kung Fu" and deeply felt the difficulty of practicing this external skill, he suddenly found that he seemed to be able to practice it very easily?

"Enable twenty-four times the normal state!"

"Practice the "Bronze Statue Skill"!"

The first level of "Bronze Statue Kung Fu" is to open up the Dantian. Xu Yi's Dantian has already been opened up, so he naturally skipped this level and went directly to the second level.

The second to fifth levels are all about skin training.

The cultivation process is also quite simple and straightforward. It is to use internal force to polish and temper the skin of the whole body.

Each tempering is a level one, and completing four temperings is equivalent to completing the training of skin training.

The same goes for future meat training, bone training, etc.

There are not so many complicated things in the practice of external skills. In simple terms, it only takes one word and you can practice it and you’re done!

Of course, when you really want to practice, you must not be too reckless.

"The first level of physical training is skin training."

"If you want to practice skin training, especially internal hard skills, the first thing you need to do is to know the tolerable strength of the skin membrane!"

This is the most basic and fundamental thing.

Only by determining the tolerable strength of your skin can you use the corresponding internal force to temper it and achieve the best training effect.

Otherwise, if you practice indiscriminately, you will use less internal energy and will not be able to achieve good cultivation results. Secondly, if you use too much internal energy... you'd better pray that you don't use so much internal energy.

Generally speaking, the strength of the skin membranes on each person's body is different, such as the skin on the feet, scalp, etc. The strength of these skin membranes is relatively high, while the skin on other parts of the body is relatively lower.

Xu Yi quickly circulated his internal energy throughout his body, and quickly found out the strength of the membranes in various places, then turned it into various data and recorded it in the memory palace.

Finally, I found that the difference in strength between these skins is quite obvious.

If the weakest skin is defined as 1, then the strongest skin is 4, which is a full four times difference!

(PS: The thickness of human skin is 0.5-4.0 mm, a difference of eight times. I personally think this difference is a bit too big, so I adjusted it slightly. Just think that skin thickness and skin strength are not the same concept.)

"It's not a big problem."

Xu Yi thought to himself.

It doesn't matter if the skin strength is too high in the early stage. After one or two tempers, the gap between them will quickly narrow. Even by the fourth time, these gaps will be completely smoothed out, and the skin strength of the whole body will tend to be the same.

numerical value.

This is mainly because for the internal strength tempering, the original strength of human skin is too weak, and it is not enough to compare with the tempered skin.

"Start practicing!"

Xu Yi began the formal cultivation process.

He has nine years of internal strength. Although he is still far behind other first-class martial artists, compared to other internal martial arts practitioners, this internal strength is already quite good.

Usually, internal martial arts practitioners start their training bit by bit. For example, for skin tempering, they first select a small section - usually a small amount of skin the size of a fingernail.

Expand and expand little by little.

Xu Yi did the same thing at the beginning, choosing a section of skin on his left little finger for practice.

"Well, it hurts a little bit!"

In a mysterious space.

Xu Yi came to his own conclusion through perception in the sea of ​​consciousness.

Then he understood that this kind of pain was not difficult at all for him who was in twenty-four times the normal state.

“Start expanding!”

Starting from a section of the little finger, it expands to the entire little finger, then the five fingers, and then the entire palm.

This kind of pain is superimposed. At this point, ninety-nine percent of warriors have begun to be unable to bear it.

But for Xu Yi, who has turned on the 24 times normal state, this is still just a very easy thing.

“Keep expanding the scope!”

The scope of skin tempering was further expanded, and in a short time, the entire forearm was included.

"Keep going!"

An entire arm is wrapped in it.

"Keep going!"

Except for the head, half of the upper body was wrapped in it.
