Chapter 1: Keeping Healthy and Strengthening Your Body
"The feet are divided into yin and yang, and the hands are pinching the meridian."
"With your eyes downturned, your eyes look at your nose, and your nose looks at your heart."
"Close your mouth and hide your tongue, put your tongue on the roof of your mouth, breathe continuously, and lower your Dantian slightly."
The night fell heavily, like a curtain of darkness, extinguishing all the light in the world.
Zhenjiang City, the Third Army Community, Wang Dong's ears twitched slightly, and he noticed that his third brother Wang Feng and Xiaoliu Wang Ping were both asleep, and he got up silently.
Sitting cross-legged habitually and naturally, with his left foot belonging to Yang on the outside and his right foot belonging to Yin on the inside, he started to pinch the Ziwu Jue and calmed down his mind.
He breathed "deep, thin, long and evenly", descending to the Dantian, and exhaled from the abdomen. He looked at his nose with his eyes, and his heart with his nose. In just a short while, his mind felt like water was still, his body was like a gaunt wood, and he naturally entered a state of meditation.
As soon as the thought returned to the center, everything was quiet, and the body and mind were forgotten. After an unknown amount of time, Wang Dong gradually felt numb again, as if an electric current was running. This electric shock-like feeling of comfort was wonderful.
Word.
After a while, slowly, his mind came back to his senses.
My hands and feet are already sweating, and my abdomen is warm, but my eyes are clear, my mind is refreshed, and my spirit is high.
After rubbing his hands, Wang Dong used a special technique to iron his eyes first, then starting from the head, passing through the forehead, temples, behind the ears, to the back of both hands, and then from the chest to the lungs,
All the way to the soles of the feet, and finally back to three inches below the navel.
"Once you enter meditation, you can eliminate the fatigue from a whole day of physical strengthening exercises, and it can also promote and strengthen the functions of various parts of the internal organs."
"Moreover, I can also feel that my Yuanyang Essence is also being generated. It should be the effect of the body-strengthening technique. My innate Yuanyang Essence is much stronger than what Bai Haiqiong remembered."
"The combination of Taoist health-preserving skills and physical strengthening skills really complement each other and are perfect."
"There are still two months until graduation. Before then, it should be enough to set up a furnace and refine it."
"As long as the essence of the innate Yuanyang is transformed into the innate Yuanyang Qi and collected in the Dantian, the road in the future will be much smoother."
"By then, I should also be able to enter the warrior level?"
"As long as you can become a true warrior, whether you enter university or join those forces in advance, at least your parents won't have to work so hard, especially dad. By then, I will never let you go to the front lines of the battlefield again."
Sensing the condition of his body, Wang Dong stretched his arms and waist, stretched his muscles, and then fell asleep silently.
Bai Haiqiong was a Taoist priest in the Southern Song Dynasty, which was at least 800 years away from the year 2102 when Wang Dong lived. Logically speaking, it is impossible for the two to have any communication.
But six years ago, when Wang Dong was 12 years old, a memory suddenly appeared in his mind, which was the result of Taoist Bai's obsession.
No one can explain why this memory fell into Wang Dong's mind after 800 years. However, having this memory, to be more precise, he has the Taoist health-preserving skills carried in the memory, especially the integration.
After Bai Haiqiong practiced Taoist health-preserving skills for many years, Wang Dong completely transformed.
Before the age of 12, Wang Dong was just an ordinary child. After the age of 12, he suddenly possessed the wisdom and the power of an adult.
While practicing body-building techniques that are popular in the world, he also silently practices health-preserving skills. The two are the foundation of each other and complement each other. Over the past six years, his body-building techniques have entered a high level, but he can still control the inner state of his mind.
His calmness has never been shown in front of any outsiders.
During the years he attended No. 3 Middle School, no one knew he had the strength of a senior student.
In the eyes of everyone, Wang Dong is just an ordinary person, and even looks a little inferior. He never conflicts with anyone, and never has too deep contact with anyone. In No. 3 Middle School, he has almost no
Sense of presence….
"The last two months."
"It's time for a change."
In the darkness, Wang Dong's eyes wavered slightly.
It is the last two months of high school. Whether you are preparing to continue studying in college or directly entering society, if you want to reduce the burden on your family, you must show your true strength.
Facing the endless and endless mutant beasts, especially those monsters with absolute power in the ocean, even though the Earth Federation has successfully opened up a continuation area on Mars, it is still on the defensive.
Under this premise, strength is everything.
If you want to change your own destiny, or your family's destiny, having the power to attract attention is the best way out.

"Sister, morning."
The next day, the sun rises slowly, and light comes to the world again.
Wang Feng and Wang Ping had already gone to have breakfast in a hurry, but Wang Dong opened the window, silently practiced breathing techniques, calmly adjusted the internal organs, and then walked out of the room calmly.
The person who prepared breakfast for them was the fourth sister Wang Jing. She graduated from high school and was not admitted to university. She has been looking for a job, but she has never been able to find a satisfactory job.
After greeting her with a smile, Wang Dong walked towards the square table.
Everyone had finished eating, and those who had work had already hurried out. Only Wang Ping, and Xiao Qi Wang Jue, who was still in junior high school, were still waiting for him to go to school together.
There is a small bowl left on the table, which is full of paste. This is synthetic food.
Since the disaster 80 years ago, most of the world has been occupied by mutant beasts.
Even the most powerful Huaxia Kingdom could only build eight large base cities at the locations of its seven military regions and Taiwan Island to barely resist the invasion of alien beasts.
Later, after receiving some unexpected help and the situation improved slightly, one after another, the Chinese military built some satellite cities centered on these eight base cities and in some important surrounding locations.
Zhenjiang City is one of them. It is located on the main thoroughfare of the Yangtze River. It is the forefront of Jiangnan City's defense against the invasion of marine beasts.
It is called a satellite city, but this is only compared to the eight major base cities. Zhenjiang City has a population of more than 10 million, all concentrated in the urban area.
After the catastrophe, all villages and counties have long become history.
Accordingly, it was already impossible for the common people at this time to eat rice, pasta, and fruits and vegetables.
From the time he was born until now, for 18 years, Wang Dong has never even seen what the 'legendary' vegetables look like. He and the whole family have been eating synthetic food.
A small bowl in the morning, a small bowl at noon, and a half small bowl in the evening. It is extremely nutritious and can support a whole day of physical training. As for the taste...it is as delicious as it has been for 18 years, as you can imagine.
"Wang Dong, the college entrance examination is about to take place in two months. You should make some changes. Don't be the last to get up every day and don't care about anything. Pay more attention. Even if you can't keep up with the physical strengthening skills, you should at least do it.
Try your best to go to the University of Science and Technology."
Seeing that the fifth child was eating breakfast unhurriedly as usual, Wang Jing frowned slightly, couldn't help but muttered as usual, and said: "Don't be like me, it's been almost a year since you graduated from high school.
, I still can’t find a good job, and I’m still taking my parents’ advice and using my parents’ advice.”
"Sister, I know what's going on, don't worry."
Wang Dong smiled slightly, turned back and nodded towards her.
"I hope so, but..."
Too many times, naturally, his words did not bring any confidence to Wang Jing.
"Sister, please stop talking. Time is very tight. Let Fifth Brother finish eating quickly. We have to go to school in a hurry."…
Seeing Wang Dong eating leisurely and distractedly talking to Wang Jing, Wang Ping and Wang Jue, who had been waiting anxiously, shouted at the same time.
If it weren't for their parents' instructions, they wouldn't be willing to wait for Wang Dong. Every time they go to school with Wang Dong, they always race against time. There can't be any pause on the way to arrive at school on time.
How could they dare to let the fourth sister share Wang Dong's feelings? If there was a slight delay and they were late... not everyone would dare to touch the school's punishment regulations.
"You guys..."
Shaking her head, Wang Jing stopped talking. The fifth child should be similar to her, the eldest sister Wang Qi, and the third child Wang Feng. They were all destined to work at the bottom. Wang Ping, the sixth child, was not much better.
If Seventh Wang Jue can maintain her current progress, she has great hope that she can actually enter university like her second brother Wang Qi.
"In a little more than a year, my second brother will graduate from Jiangnan University. If he can join the Academy of Sciences or enter a large group, dad will no longer have to fight on the front lines. Those people should not dare to... I can too
Go to work like a normal person."
Thinking of Wang Qi, Wang Jing felt relieved again. The whole family's greatest hope was in him.
"Sister, let's go."
Time was really running out. In a few bites, he swallowed his breakfast and nodded to Wang Jing. Rarely, Wang Dong's usually calm face showed some serious expression: "Don't worry, these two
Yue, I will change it."
After practicing Taoist health-preserving skills for many years, Wang Dong's mind is extremely peaceful. He can ignore the opinions of any outsiders, but this does not mean that he has lost his ambition.
"Um?"
Wang Jing's heart stirred slightly, and when she regained consciousness, she saw that Wang Dong and the others had already rushed downstairs. Recalling Wang Dong's serious look just now, Wang Jing couldn't help but murmured in her heart: "Lao Wu seems to be a little different.
But...it's only two months, so maybe it's a little late."
……………………
"10,9,8,7,6..."
She was in Class 6, Grade 3, counting down the time on her watch with a calm expression. Suddenly, Huang Ying's heart moved and she turned her eyes to the door, where Wang Dong's figure appeared.
"It's 5 seconds again. This is the 53rd time. Did he hurry up and rush here?"
A strange color passed through Huang Ying's eyes. Her gaze focused on Wang Dong without stopping, and she soon withdrew her gaze again.
"Xiaoying, I noticed that you are watching Wang Dong again."
Huang Ying's deskmate was Li Na. She saw all Huang Ying's movements. She smiled, whispered in Huang Ying's ear and said softly: "Are you not going to admit it this time? But I have to
Let me remind you, we only have the last two months, so if you want to take action, you must hurry up."
"Ding ding ding..."
In a few steps, Wang Dong walked to his seat very punctually. As soon as he sat down, the bell rang for class.
"Don't talk nonsense, I am somewhat interested in him, but it's not that kind of interest."
Huang Ying glanced at her friend angrily, pondered for a moment, and said softly: "I just think that Wang Dong is not as simple as it seems. Don't you think that the time he enters the classroom every time is too precise?
He didn’t wear a watch, how did he keep the time constant at the few seconds before class?”
"Also, although he never performed well when our class practiced physical strengthening techniques and competed in groups, have you ever seen him sweat or even see him breathing disorderly?"
Slightly, some contemplation appeared on Li Na's face. She didn't pay attention to it before and didn't think anything of it. But now when Huang Ying said it, something seemed wrong.
After thinking about it, she added: "Is it really not that simple? Give him a try and you will know. There will be a training class soon. Let's..."...
Huang Ying shook her head and was about to speak when the teacher walked in.
"Students, today we will review the third lesson. Please type your books until..."
After the catastrophe, physical strength training became the most important course in all schools, but some courses related to science and technology, such as mathematics and physics, were not abandoned.
If they have not achieved much in physical strengthening techniques, many students will also specialize in these cultural courses in order to be admitted to the University of Science and Technology. If they can become scientific researchers, they can also gain a very high status in society.
The two cultural classes passed quickly, and at the same time, everyone in Class 6 walked out of the classroom and walked quickly to the training hall.
The next two classes are training time for physical strengthening techniques.
In the first period, the whole class practices together, and the martial arts teacher provides guidance and corrects students' mistakes.
The second section is free group confrontation training, but generally speaking, each student has already had his own fixed opponent.
"I haven't tested it for a long time, but my current explosive power should be close to 700kg."
"Lao Li will be surprised soon."
Together with several classmates who specialized in cultural courses, Wang Dong walked slowly and slowly at the back of the class. Thinking about the surprise of his old partner Li Chen, he smiled slightly in his heart.
Unless you are born with supernatural power, for ordinary people, as long as you have an explosive power of more than 600kg, you can obtain the title of 'senior student'.
In the entire Third Middle School, not to mention the junior high school, there are more than 10,000 people in the high school, and no more than five people can win this title.
Even those with explosive power exceeding 400kg and earning the title of ‘intermediate student’ are not many.
Generally speaking, as long as you can obtain the title of 'intermediate student' before the final examination, you will have an absolute guarantee of entering the university. If you are an 'advanced student', you can even directly enter Jiangnan University to receive the highest level of martial arts.
educate.
"Wang moves! Wang moves!"
Just as Li Chen and the others were chatting and laughing, suddenly, a clear and sweet voice came over.
Wang Dong raised his eyes and saw Li Na, who was holding Huang Ying and calling him loudly, about ten meters ahead. Beside the two of them, there were several girls giggling.
"What happened to this little pepper?"
Wang Dong's heart wrinkled slightly. Li Na's fierce temper was quite famous in the entire class, and even in the entire senior year of high school. However, it seemed that she had never had anything to do with him.
"What's the matter?" Xu walked a few steps and Wang Dong said with a smile on his face.
"When training against each other, remember not to rush into groups."
Li Na smiled, glanced at Huang Ying, and said, "Xiaoying said that she will be paired with you in today's confrontation training. Remember to perform well later."
For a moment, Huang Ying's face turned red. Li Na's voice was not low, and many people around her looked over with different expressions.
Huang Ying spat: "Li Na, what did you say? Wang..."
"Xiaoying is shy."
But she didn't give her a chance to defend herself. Several girls, led by Li Na, laughed, picked up Huang Ying and ran away. As they ran, Li Na turned around and shouted: "Okay, that's it, we'll see you later, no."
, I’ll see you later.”
"Oooh!"
"Wang Dong, I didn't notice it. When did you and Huang Ying..."
"Hey, Lao Wang, I have absolutely no objection to you wanting to be paired with Huang Ying, but I don't know about your relationship with Huang Ying, so I have absolutely no objection."
Li Chen and others were in an uproar.
In the school, the most eye-catching ones are the 'senior students' and 'intermediate students'. These students, who specialize in cultural courses, usually find it difficult to straighten their backs, but unexpectedly Wang Dong was able to attract Huang Ying's attention.
In No. 3 Middle School, Huang Ying was one of the school beauties. I don’t know how many adolescent boys had an idea for her, but I had never heard of anyone succeeding...
As for Wang Dong, his cultural courses are average, and his physical training is average. Apart from attending classes every day 'on time', he has almost no sense of existence in the eyes of most people.
No one could have imagined that the two of them would actually get involved.
"What does this little pepper mean?"
Wang Dong frowned slightly inadvertently. Wang Dong would not think that Li Na's words were true. Although he and Huang Ying were in the same class in high school for three years, they had not even spoken a few words. How could he possibly pull this out at this time?
this relationship.
"Huh? Is that so?"
While he was pondering to himself, he heard Li Chen and the others' teasing, and noticed the strange looks from the people nearby. Suddenly, Wang Dong's heart moved, and he somewhat guessed Li Na's intention.
In the eyes of the people around him, there was ridicule, jealousy, drama, and even some undisguised hostility.
"Are you trying to spark conflicts between me and these people?"
"But I have never had anything to do with her, so why would she target me?"
"Could it be that you want to test it? Even Teacher Tang can't detect it. With her eyes, she can see my hidden power?"
As his thoughts flashed, Wang shook his head and smiled bitterly in response to the teasing of Li Chen and others: "Can you believe Li Na's words? If Huang Ying really meant it, do you think Li Na would say this in public?"
"That's not necessarily the case.
Li Na and Huang Ying are such good friends, they would never spread rumors about her in person for no reason.
Maybe they feel that time is very tight, and if they don’t express themselves, they will have no chance in the future.”
With a smile, Li Chen didn't agree with Wang Dong's intention at all, and said: "In short, don't say that I didn't give you a chance. I will definitely not be paired with you in this confrontation training."
Shaking his head and smiling, Wang Dong stopped defending. He could tell that Li Chen and the others were making noises. The more he defended himself, the more violent they made noises.
As for those hostile looks, it didn't matter. In the last two months, he had decided not to hide anymore. If they were to come, he would simply use them as a springboard.
