Chapter 16 Innate Grappling Technique
Bai Sheng put down his textbook and started chatting with Teacher Zhang.
"Teacher Zhang, I don't know why, but lately I've been really nostalgic for things from my childhood."
This Chinese textbook feels especially familiar to me...
Could you give it to me as a souvenir?
Bai Sheng asked in a casual, conversational tone,
Teacher Zhang was stunned for a moment.
Then look at the textbook in his hand, its edges worn and frayed:
"Yes, the school gives us new textbooks every year."
The copy you're holding is the newer, updated version; I didn't write many annotations on it.
If you think it has sentimental value, you can take it with you.
Bai Sheng closed his textbook and chatted with Teacher Zhang for a while longer.
After leaving the teachers' office, Bai Sheng did not leave immediately.
Based on his memory,
I knocked on the doors of the math and English groups one by one along the corridor...
All the doors to the teachers' offices.
Even teachers of minor subjects like art and music,
Bai Sheng was not spared either.
These teachers also reaped no rewards.
Bai Sheng was not surprised.
To stumble upon a book of innate Taoist teachings is already an unexpected delight.
As we left No. 9 Middle School, it was getting dark.
He took a taxi and scrolled through his phone all the way back to school.
Back in the dormitory,
The two roommates sat on their respective beds, playing King of Glory together.
"Support, follow me! Support, follow me!"
Jiahao shouted himself hoarse.
Bai Sheng lingered at the door for a moment.
The dormitory is only this big.
If he lays an elementary school Chinese textbook out on the table and flips through it...
Within three minutes, those two would have to peek over to take a look.
He was too lazy to explain.
I don't want to study Taoist texts while playing video games in the background.
Bai Sheng slung his backpack over his shoulder, turned around, and went out.
Walk to the commercial street opposite the school gate,
I randomly picked a budget chain hotel.
The receptionist scanned his ID card.
One hundred yuan a night, breakfast included.
Swipe the room card.
Tick!
The door opened.
The room was not big.
The window faces a quiet back alley, and the soundproofing is quite good.
It's perfect for studying alone.
Bai Sheng put his schoolbag on the sofa.
Take out the Chinese textbook and spread it out on the table.
The first lesson in the textbook is "Exhortation to Learning".
Bai Sheng drew the curtains tightly shut and locked the door.
The room was very quiet.
The only sound is the airflow from the air conditioner vents.
The first time he read this text,
A complete body-refining method emerged in his sea of consciousness.
Bai Sheng read the text aloud twice more, from beginning to end.
This body-refining method has also been discovered to have a name.
Innate grappling technique!
Bai Sheng put down the book and flexed his fingers.
There is a prerequisite for practicing innate grappling techniques.
One must reach the innate realm.
If someone whose true qi has not been formed and whose physical body has not been tempered were to obtain this set of incantations...
The initial stage of Qi and blood circulation cannot be properly regulated.
But he held the title of "Innate Martial Artist" above his head.
That threshold has been crossed.
Bai Sheng started by trying the first sentence of the mantra.
According to the mnemonic description
When this grappling technique generates force, it does not rely on muscle contraction.
Instead, it mobilizes qi and blood to form a vortex of qi in the fingers and wrists.
With a simple snap of the five fingers, one can lock the gaps in an opponent's joints.
The force penetrated through the skin and flesh, reaching straight to the bones.
Bai Sheng focused his mind,
Following the instructions in the exercise manual, the location of the dantian was quickly found.
In the dantian,
A stream of heat flowed.
He channeled the heat from his dantian and circulated it along the three Yin meridians of the hand on the inside of his arm.
The heat reached my wrist, but then suddenly dissipated!
It's like a water pipe cracked halfway through, preventing the water from flowing to the end.
I tried three times, and all three attempts failed.
Bai Sheng frowned.
I silently read the text aloud again from beginning to end.
Suddenly, I remembered a phrase my Chinese teacher always used.
Read a book a hundred times, and its meaning will become clear!
"You should read it a few more times! Maybe things will turn around."
Bai Sheng sat up straight cross-legged and picked up his textbook.
I felt like laughing a little.
Then, he began to read aloud.
"A wise man says that learning should never cease..."
This time,
He stopped thinking about the meaning of the mnemonic.
Let the whole text flow like water.
It flowed through my mind.
The essay "Exhortation to Learning," which I memorized in high school, was reactivated from the depths of my memory.
Back then, I spent two morning study sessions memorizing those sentences.
Now, retrieve it from the bottom of the memory bank.
The speed is naturally much faster than it was back then.
In less than fifteen minutes,
He can already recite the entire text almost verbatim.
The kind that doesn't stutter or break sentences.
While achieving this level,
Bai Sheng's body reacted before his brain did.
The warmth from the dantian naturally flows along the three Yin meridians of the hand.
Reaching the fingertips,
At the first phalanx of the index, middle, and ring fingers
Each seemed to condense into a small vortex.
Spread your fingers open and then close them.
Between the joints, an invisible layer of air pressure envelops them, causing the joints to mesh.
Bai Sheng looked at his right hand.
Spread your five fingers,
A faint red glow could be seen flowing beneath the skin of the fingertips.
"Wow! That's impressive."
He placed his right hand on the bed, intending to test the strength of this grappling technique.
Next second,
Bai Sheng was thrown out.
boom!
He bumped his head on the ceiling...
"hiss--"
Bai Sheng covered his head and sat back on the bed.
He rubbed the top of his head.
Eh?
It didn't hurt that much.
Looking up,
On the ceiling,
There's an extra dent, about the size of a bowl.
Ok……
Bai Sheng thought for a moment.
The decision was made not to pursue the hotel for responsibility for the low ceiling height.
Presumably, when the staff cleaned the room,
They wouldn't be so bored as to stare at the ceiling.
future,
Perhaps a young couple is sweating it out in this room.
Then you might have stumbled upon this spectacle by chance.
Bai Sheng turned to the next page, when suddenly a line of small black text appeared before his eyes.
[Innate Grappling Techniques (Beginner): 0/5] +
The following lessons describe the process of condensing innate true energy.
There is a prerequisite.
Only when the body has been tempered to perfection can true qi be generated.
If you can't master grappling techniques, then forget about completing the body tempering process.
The entire road was blocked at the first step.
Bai Sheng glanced at his cultivation points and saw that he had 6 left.
"If we don't pry open this door first, all the other paths will be blocked!"
Bai Sheng made up his mind.
In his mind, he tapped the plus sign after "Innate Grappling Technique" five times.
A surge of heat rose from the bottom of his dantian.
It felt like someone had shoved a high-pressure water gun into the prostate.
Heat surged wildly along the three Yin meridians of the hand.
It gathers simultaneously at three points: the wrist, the base of the palm, and the knuckles.
His five fingers spread open uncontrollably, and his joints cracked like popping beans.
Oh shit,
It is clearly stated that the breakthrough of this innate grappling technique is always extremely slow and the process is gentle.
Why is the medicine so potent?
Bai Sheng finally understood.
At the time, he mistakenly thought that with the addition of 5 cultivation points,
They will move from "beginner" to "minor mastery".
However, the truth is,
After the first cultivation point is added.
The innate grappling technique has reached the "minor achievement" level.
Small success, great success, peak, perfection, great perfection!
After adding 5 points.
The realm of innate grappling techniques
It's already beyond repair!
"I believe I have now reached the second stage of body refinement."
Standing meditation, breathing exercises, blood circulation exercises, and bone tempering exercises.
"The physical strength at its limit is even greater than that of a [Primordial Martial Artist]."
