After Elder Yu left, several people went to train separately. Zhang Tianbiao went to the Fiery Room, Cao Tianqi followed Senior Brother Guo to the Ice Cellar. Fatty Cao thought that his fat body would be useful in the Ice Cellar.
As for Lu Kun, he plans to go back to the stone house to try strength training first. Following today's explanation from Senior Brother Guo, some special training movements from the past may be useful.
When meditating in the fire room and the ice cellar, the body remains still because the initial function of most of the deep muscles in the human body is to maintain the stability of the body posture. Only when they are still and receive external stimulation can people feel their movements.
exist.
Some power moves are also static, such as handstands. Thinking of this, Lu Kun returned to his room and started trying it.
Inversion seems simple, but it is not. First of all, the correct body posture is like standing in a straight line on the ground. In this action, the strength of the shoulders is second. What is important is the deep muscles of the core of the waist and abdomen and the deep muscles of the arms. They come from
Keep your body stable and balanced.
Lu Kun began to train in his room. According to his speculation, when he loses strength, it is the best time to feel the deep muscles.
As time passed slowly, Lu Kun began to sweat more and more, and his body began to tremble, as if he was about to fall down in the next moment, and his arms, shoulders, waist and abdomen began to feel sore.
"This is the moment!"
Lu Kun threw away his distracting thoughts and began to use his consciousness to feel all the external muscles that were exerting force. He felt that the arm muscles were screaming with pain, the shoulder muscles were moaning with fatigue, and the abdominal muscles were screaming with tearing pain.
However, the blood in the leg muscles has decreased and it is no longer possible to feel it.
"No, since I can't feel the muscles of the thighs and calves now, why can they stand upright? What maintains them? It's impossible for bones to maintain stability without muscles. There must be some, and I want to find them!"
My consciousness began to move towards my body, and I gradually felt the muscles in my thighs.
"I feel it. Hey, this is an external muscle. Why am I so stupid? The leg stability must be the muscles near the waist, abdomen and pelvis."
The consciousness then moved towards the pelvis, waist and abdomen. At this time, the external muscles happened to be a little numb. I ignored the wailing external muscles, and finally felt something strange between the pelvis and waist and abdomen.
"Those tiny but powerful little guys, attached to the bones and hiding deep in the external muscles, I finally found you!"
When he was excited, his external muscles could no longer maintain their movements, and he fell to the ground with a "bang". However, Lu Kun remained motionless and kept this feeling firmly in his brain.
Then he began to adjust his breathing, relax his body, and once again feel the deep core of his body. However, he found that this time he could only feel the muscles there, and no deeper feelings could be felt.
Lu Kun frowned and murmured: "How could this happen? I felt them contracting just now, but now it's only a little bit. It must be because the deep muscles were in a tight state just now. I'll try again."
After previous training, the external muscles had begun to tire. Later, Lu Kun's handstand time became shorter and shorter, and the increasingly sore external muscles also blocked Lu Kun's perception.
As if he thought of something, Lu Kun was delighted: "I can change my posture and find a way to increase the core pressure. I just need to cross my legs and do a handstand. That's it!"
After resting for more than half an hour, Lu Kun began to do a cross-legged handstand. As soon as he completed this movement, he felt the pressure on his waist and abdomen increase greatly, and his sensation quickly transferred to his waist and abdomen.
Soon, the external muscles in the waist and abdomen were overwhelmed, and his posture was about to collapse. Lu Kun gritted his teeth and tightened his will to keep himself stable.
After a while, he once again had the feeling of deep muscle support. He immediately felt these muscles with all his heart, how they exerted force, how they contracted, and how they stabilized.
…
For the next two days, Lu Kun locked himself in the stone house. Except for the servants who regularly delivered meals and occasionally chatted with Cao Yunqi next door, he kept practicing cross-legged handstands.
The physical problem of dizziness still occurred, but it was only at night, and it did not have much impact on his cultivation.
With repeated practice, Lu Kun can feel the deep muscles of his core as soon as he does this movement. However, when he is quiet, he cannot actively mobilize these deep muscles, so he is not yet a beginner.
"Junior brother Lu, you are still studying the Vajra Technique. I will go to the ice cellar in a moment. Do you want to come with me?" Cao Yunqi's voice came from outside the house. In the past two days, Cao Yunqi would say hello to Lu Kun every time before practicing.
"Yes, I feel a little bit better now. I can try it in the ice cellar to see if I can force my muscles to contract actively."
When Lu Kun heard Cao Yunqi's words, he was suddenly enlightened. He shouted outside the room: "Senior Brother Cao, wait, let's go together."
But before leaving, he hesitated slightly and picked up the quilt in the room.
When Cao Yunqi saw Lu Kun coming out with a quilt, he looked surprised and said, "Junior brother Lu, what are you doing with the quilt? Could it be that he wants to sleep in the ice cellar tonight?"
Lu Kun smiled mysteriously at the fat man and replied: "Senior Brother Cao, please bring the quilt as well. As for what to do, you will know in a moment."
Immediately afterwards, Lu Kun moved a lot of stone piers in, and under Cao Yunqi's curious eyes, he built a strange combination. At the bottom were some stone piers forming a circle, leaving a space for one person to stand in the middle.
The stone piers were piled up to the height of a person's buttocks, and a layer of quilt was spread on top. On top of the quilt was a layer of ice cubes one foot high, and there was also a layer of quilts placed on top of the ice cubes.
When Lu Kun stood in, only the core of his waist and abdomen was in the ice, and the rest was insulated by quilts.
"Senior Brother Cao, I will start to feel the deep muscles of the waist and abdomen in a moment, so don't disturb me yet."
After saying this, Lu Kun closed his eyes and mobilized his consciousness to feel the muscles in his waist and abdomen, regardless of Cao Yunqi's thoughtful expression.
"First mobilize the external muscles to keep out the cold."
Lu Kun gradually felt a touch of warmth in his waist and abdomen. After a while, the external muscles were exhausted, and the cold air began to invade the depths. The internal organs did not feel particularly cold, and the deep muscles began to throb.
Recalling the feeling of deep muscle contraction when doing a cross-legged handstand, gradually, those little guys began to contract very hard under Lu Kun's will.
"It's moving, good. I have to control them to contract more slowly. The slower they are, the stronger my control will be."
I don't know how long it took, but after controlling the deep muscles to slowly contract twenty times, Lu Kun felt a sense of fatigue in his brain. This was different from his fainting at night. This was the fatigue of his consciousness.
After adjusting his breathing and relaxing his mind, Lu Kun opened his eyes and was greeted by four pairs of curious eyes.
"Um, senior brothers, why are you all here?"
Guo Botao looked at the things Lu Kun had piled up and explained: "Fat Cao asked us to come. Junior Brother Lu has been in this circle for most of an hour. Have you gained anything?"
After thinking about it, Lu Kun had no intention of hiding his progress. He nodded and said, "I'm lucky. I've just been able to mobilize a little bit of my deep muscles and barely got started."
Several people were stunned, with a bit of surprise in their eyes.
You must know that they have been practicing foreign martial arts for ten years, and Guo Botao reluctantly entered the door by chance, and Lu Kun was actually ahead of them.
"I heard from Elder Yu that Junior Brother Lu lost all his internal strength for some reason. It seems that he once practiced an external skill." The speaker was Ouyang Yiyun. He has not memorized the secret manual yet, and he was the last to come, but he didn't.
Jealousy.
Guo Botao and Cao Yunqi had a good impression of Lu Kun. They were a little surprised at most, but Zhang Tianbiao looked depressed.
Seeing everyone's different expressions, Lu Kun didn't talk nonsense and told them his thoughts and experiences on single-part training in the ice cellar.
These four people were very talented. They immediately drew inferences from one example and began to build this special training framework for the parts they were best at.
Lu Kun returned to the stone house, looking a little sluggish. This kind of mental exhaustion had occurred a long time ago when he first started to exercise, and he needed to replenish himself through sleep.
"Guo Botao and the others have practiced martial arts for many years, and with the blessing of internal energy, their energy and spirit are much stronger than mine. However, after practicing the Diamond Art for a period of time, I, Lu Kun, can also improve my energy and spirit."
Then he lay on the bed and caught up on his sleep.
…
In the next few days, Lu Kun continued to exercise the deep muscles of his waist and abdomen, practiced active contraction in the ice cellar, and returned to the stone house to do cross-legged handstands to practice his perception. As his control increased, he returned to straight-legged handstands.
According to the description of Vajra Jue, once the muscles in this area can contract freely with the movement of the mind, you can contract the muscles in this area at a specific frequency according to the first-level formula.
Slowly, the nearby deep muscles will be infected and can be controlled by perception. When all the deep muscles of the whole body can be mobilized, the first layer will be completed.
Lu Kun had his own thoughts and wanted to use static strength movements to train the deep muscles of the whole body. This is much better than the method of Vajra Technique.
…
Time passed quickly, and it was the day for Elder Yu to explain. The five disciples had been waiting in the empty stone room in the middle of the square.
At this time, except for Cao Yunqi, several others had already started. Guo Botao, who was the earliest, could control the deep muscles of his arms. Zhang Tianbiao stayed in the ice room for three days and felt the deep muscles of the chest. Ouyang Yiyun, who came last, could also control them.
The deep muscles of the shoulder.
At about midnight in the morning, a lean middle-aged man walked in. He glanced at everyone, and finally locked his eyes on the burliest bald young man, and said slowly: "Zhang Tianbiao, you should be admitted."
"Yes, Elder Yu, except Cao Yunqi, everyone else has also started."
When Elder Yu heard that four people had entered the school, he was stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise: "I didn't expect you to start the school so quickly. Sure enough, you are all disciples suitable for practicing the Vajra Art!"
"Actually, it was Junior Brother Lu who came up with the method that allowed us to get started so quickly." The speaker was Ouyang Yiyun. He entered the practice room in the next few days with the attitude of giving it a try, but he did not expect that he would get started so quickly.
.
Elder Yu heard this and said curiously: "Lu Kun, what is the method? Let me tell you."
"Disciple also came up with it by chance." Lu Kun blinked and told the story of the ice cellar that day.
After listening to Elder Yu, he looked thoughtful. Lu Kun combined his training method with the practice of Diamond Art. He sighed: "Lu Kun, you have advanced... to a deep level."
The method is very good!”
"If this method is used for the first level of the Diamond Art, the efficiency will probably be improved a lot. Not only can the ice cellar be used, but the fire room can also be used. Later I will discuss with the blacksmith inside the door to modify the fire room to see if it can become a local high temperature.
of."
Then his tone changed: "I came here today, on the one hand, to see your progress, which unexpectedly exceeded expectations, and on the other hand, to impart to you all my experience in the first level of cultivation. You must listen carefully and not be distracted.
"
Then Elder Yu slowly explained the whole process and experience from the very beginning to how he got started, then to the first level of Dacheng, and then to the second level. During the explanation process, he asked some questions to each disciple from time to time to see how they felt.
Check whether the understanding is correct.
"In the end, I broke through to the second level. The biggest feeling is that my spiritual sense has improved a lot. I have discussed it with the great elder before, and I think it is because the consciousness is constantly sensing the whole body, and the sense of flesh and blood is gradually strengthened. Finally,
Leading to increased spiritual awareness.”
"So although my internal strength is slightly inferior, my actual combat ability has reached an upper-class level among the first-class."
"On the other hand, high spiritual awareness will definitely be very useful for the first level of advancement. The way to improve your spiritual awareness is to fight constantly and experience dangers of life and death. And the more dangerous the situation, the more you can stimulate your body's potential.
Increase the speed of cultivation."
"You can tell by looking at Lu Kun. He practiced in the mountains and even left the official path. His spiritual awareness is higher than that of ordinary warriors. His speed in practicing the Diamond Art is not slow at all."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Seeing Lu Kun turn away, Elder Yu couldn't help but cough slightly and continued:
"So the leader and I decided to send you out to perform some more dangerous tasks when you have gained some results in the first level. And you should also have discovered that after you get started, the daily training time should not be too long, so the first
The training at this level will be very long.”
"This is not about cultivating internal strength. Some elixirs don't work. If we don't use special methods, I don't know how long it will take to reach the second level."
Looking at the thoughtful people, Elder Yu's tone became more serious: "I ask you again, if you reach the third floor within five years, the Grand Elder will personally guide you. There will be no hidden dangers until you reach the fifth floor. Now there are
Who doesn’t want to continue practicing?”
Seeing the five disciples below, especially Fatty Cao, looking at him with firm eyes, Elder Yu nodded and began to assign tasks to them:
"Next month, Guo Botao, Zhang Tianbiao, and Ouyang Yiyun, you three will go on a mission first. It just so happens that some nearby forces are starting to make moves. As for Cao Yunqi, you must learn the technique within a month and go with them in two months.
.”
"As for Lu Kun, I will take you to select some suitable moves later. Cao Yunqi, in the next two months, you will pass the two iron armor skills to Lu Kun for his reference."
"Lu Kun, although you have no internal strength, with the first level of Vajra Art, your attack and defense will not be bad. You will go out to perform the mission in a year."
"During this year, we will also select some suitable disciples to learn the Diamond Art, and you will be responsible for guiding them to get started."
During the question-and-answer process, Elder Yu discovered that Lu Kun's training method for the Jin army seemed to be extremely helpful in the practice of Diamond Art. Others were more or less affected by the exercises they learned, so they taught him
The job was left to Lu Kun.
Lu Kun gave him a big surprise, which relieved a lot of pressure on his shoulders.
Recently, someone has leaked the information about the Supreme Elder's short lifespan, coupled with Zhang Yiyang's death, which has caused several forces in other cities to be ready to take action. Some matters require their elders to personally take action.
Lu Kun naturally didn't know what Elder Yu was thinking, so he responded respectfully: "Yes, Great Elder, I will try my best to guide other disciples."
"Okay, just follow my instructions, Lu Kun, you come with me."
Elder Yu took Lu Kun away from the stone house, and the place fell into silence again.
"Zhang Tianbiao, Ouyang Yiyun, we have a little friction with each other. I hope we can put these small things aside first. Listening to the elder's tone and some of our next tasks are very dangerous, only by working together can we survive."
Guo Botao suddenly said to the other two people.
"No problem, I, Zhang Tianbiao, can still tell the difference between what is light and what is important."
Ouyang Yiyun glanced at the two of them and said: "I don't have a problem, but we need to confirm who is the master. What do you think? Whoever makes the fastest progress in the Vajra Art next month will be recognized as the Vajra Art.
