Ren used the "congratulatory gift" from the old emperor in exchange for the secret technique of the old man guarding the treasure house [Condensing Qi and Transforming Gang].
It's not a martial skill, but a method of condensing fighting spirit.
Ymir said nothing.
After all, this book is a gift to "them".
Although she had heard some of it before, she also patiently accompanied Ren and listened to her, the imperial uncle, explain the unique secret method of Qi training of "Jie Chuanliu".
"Qigong Master" is almost the extraordinary profession that has the deepest understanding of fighting spirit among all extraordinary beings.
Listening to it, she has now entered the "Legendary Realm". She can understand more by analogy.
... .
The three of them did not continue wandering around the treasure house, but sat in a very plainly decorated cabin.
"The use of fighting spirit is the true essence of the 'Qigong Master' lineage. It is not like the 'Martial Arts Master' lineage, which specializes in practicing martial arts..."
"When I first entered the martial artist sequence, I also chose to enter the 'Martial Arts' category. Because the martial arts moves are beautiful and the killing blows are fierce. And as long as the fighting skills and kung fu are proficient enough, extraordinary people of the same level will rarely encounter opponents."
"Later, I discovered a problem. No matter how powerful the martial arts are, they are not powerful enough... Extraordinary people are 'guns', martial arts are just 'bullets', and 'gunpowder' is the root of determining the combat power of extraordinary people. Fighting Qi , is the 'gunpowder' of a fighter. Only by controlling the more explosive fighting spirit can one exert greater power. This is also the most fundamental reason for the gap between extraordinary levels."
"I was wondering if there was a way to make fighting energy more condensed. Then, I found a fragment of a secret method about the concentration of fighting energy excavated from ancient ruins in the palace treasure house, and I had a lot of insights. Later, I went into retreat for dozens of years. Years later, today's [Condensing Qi and Transforming Gang]..."
"..."
Renn listened carefully to the old man's explanation of the origin and principles of his secret technique.
The whole story sounds a bit "Versailles".
To put it simply, there was a "fighting genius" in Omar who beat all the invincible opponents at the same level, but he was not satisfied.
Because he feels that his mastery of martial arts has far exceeded that of the same level, and is even better than higher-level fighters.
But unfortunately, he has never been able to cross that hurdle, because it is difficult to "leap-level challenge" (frontal combat with non-professional restraint).
If you want to fight beyond the level, you can't avoid one problem, and that is "body protection fighting spirit".
The second-level transcendent has a fighting spirit gauze, the third and fourth levels have fighting spirit armor, and the fifth level has elemental armor, which is equivalent to wearing a "bulletproof vest".
This body armor is not absolutely invincible, but if you cannot break it, the force cannot penetrate it, and the damage caused will be very limited.
Therefore, martial arts are like bullets hitting bulletproof vests for leapfrog combat. Bullets are hard (martial skills), which will definitely increase the lethality. But it is the penetrating power of the bullet that determines the final effect.
Generally speaking, if you are in the fighter sequence and fight at a higher level, the damage of the low-level extraordinary will be buffered by more than 80% by the protective fighting spirit of the high-level extraordinary.
It is roughly equivalent to one hundred kilograms of force. It is good to have twenty kilograms of fighting energy that can penetrate the body's protective body and hit the opponent's body.
The damage of about 10% is not painful at all for high-level extraordinary people.
Unless he has an absolute monster like Renn, even if it is only about 10%, he still has an absolutely exaggerated base to break the opponent's defense.
If one hundred kilograms doesn’t work, then ten thousand kilograms!
Once the defense value limit is exceeded, it is "real damage".
Therefore, Ren's current opponents are usually killed by a strange punch.
Of course, if you encounter something that cannot be killed by bombardment, you generally cannot defeat it head-on.
... .
Ren's current strange power is all due to various opportunities.
Intelligent brain, [Hercules Art], [Gangxian], and the physical body that the blood nematodes feed back after they mature... none of them are missing.
It is difficult for ordinary people to obtain any of these things in their lifetime, and it is impossible for them to have all kinds of opportunities pile up on them.
The same was true for Andrew back then.
Even though he belongs to the Omar royal family and has mastered almost all the top cultivation resources in the world, he has tried his best and still can't find the method that allows him to fight beyond the level.
Even after visiting famous teachers and seeking advice from top extraordinary people in various professions, no one could solve this problem.
However, this "fighting genius" did not give up. He read a large number of fragments of ancient secrets in the palace collection.
Then, I really found some ideas.
He felt that since it was a question of the degree of Condensation of Dou Qi, then he should specialize in condensation of Dou Qi.
Therefore, in the end, he gave up the "Martial Arts Master" sequence and switched to "Qigong Master" again.
Then combined with the fragments of the ancient method, a low-level extraordinary secret method was created that could break through the high-level extraordinary body-protecting fighting energy.
That is - [Condensing Qi and Transforming Gang].
... .
"Everyone in the world thinks that the strength of Douqi armor is determined by the extraordinary rank. In fact, this is not the case... Douqi can be condensed, but the method is difficult..."
When Ren heard Andrew talking about the principles of his secret technique, he inexplicably thought of his own [Gang Thread].
Gangxian is to shape fighting spirit into the shape of "line".
The principle of Andro's secret method is also to shape fighting spirit, but it is not a shape, but "compression and condensation".
He is making the "density" of fighting spirit stronger!
The strength of a transcendent's body-protecting fighting spirit is directly proportional to the transcendent level.
To use a more vivid metaphor, the first level of extraordinary body protection and fighting spirit is like a layer of "sand clothes", while the second level is like "tofu", the third level is like "stone", steel (fourth level), diamond (fiveth level) level).
Although the defense power is different, the essence of the body-protecting fighting spirit is the same, they are all fighting spirit.
Just like sand and diamonds, they are essentially carbon elements, but due to the different arrangement of atoms, their hardness is very different.
Andrew's [Condensing Qi and Transforming into Gang] is a special secret method of arranging and condensing Dou Qi.
This method allows low-level transcendental beings to control higher levels of condensed fighting spirit. This directly solves the most fundamental problem of "leapfrog combat".
As long as one can master it, a second-level extraordinary person may also have the condensed "density" of fighting energy of a third-level extraordinary person, or even a higher-level ordinary extraordinary person.
The so-called damage reduction of body-protecting fighting energy no longer exists.
In game terms, the attack increases the "physical penetration" ability!
And Andrew relied on this secret technique to defeat invincible opponents all over the world.
The hand knife wrapped in his fighting spirit is as sharp as a knife, and can easily cut through the opponent's body-protecting fighting spirit.
Initially, it is invincible at the same level.
Later, you can fight even if you cross higher levels.
In the end, after he reached the fourth level of transcendence, he had almost no opponents. Regardless of fighting spirit or magic shield, one palm can pop it like a balloon... (The concentration of fighting spirit is part of combat power. Andrew is a fighting genius, and his fighting skills and physical fitness are also very good)
His famous "cutting the river with one palm" is the embodiment of fighting spirit condensed to the extreme.
However, this secret method is very powerful, but it also has a huge drawback!
That is, the amount of Dou Qi after condensation will be greatly reduced visible to the naked eye.
The higher the level of secret technique cultivation, the more severely the amount of fighting energy is reduced.
According to Andrew, in order to reach a level similar to the level of concentration of fighting spirit at the next major level, fighting spirit must be condensed to its original level of about 18.
The whole process is like refining a rough iron embryo with rare impurities into steel, and the volume will shrink.
Therefore, even if you are a professional "qigong master" who is said to have the most fighting spirit, practicing this secret method will make you look like a "weak chicken" in terms of fighting spirit.
... .
Andrew talked about this and asked again: "So, have you really thought about learning this secret technique? Although your current fighting energy is very good, it is seven or eight times that of ordinary third-level qigong masters. But after you finally condense it, you may Only the level of ordinary third-level extraordinary. Of course, the premise is that you can master this secret method."
After a pause, he continued: "Cultivation of this secret method requires extremely firm perseverance, and it needs to be practiced throughout a lifetime. If there is any wavering, all previous efforts may be wasted. If you are reluctant to part with your majestic fighting spirit, I advise you. It’s better to give up as soon as possible, otherwise it will be a waste of energy... "
"Senior, I am willing to learn this secret technique!"
Ren agreed without hesitation.
The secret method that made Andrew known as "the first person in Omar" was definitely not a weakling.
Moreover, Renn himself does not have to worry about the amount of fighting spirit at all.
The mature blood nematodes gave him the meridians to bear fighting qi that were almost like those of a mythical beast. Now when he was at the third level, the amount of fighting qi was seven to eight times that of the same level.
In the next four and five levels, this gap will snowball and get bigger and bigger.
This massive amount of fighting spirit made Ren a little confused.
The huge amount of fighting spirit not only allows him to have strong battery life, but also allows him to have more milk and use more ultimate moves.
Except for the good increase in individual skills like [Air God Strike], it seems that the increase in explosive combat power is not much.
If it really condensed into one-tenth, he wouldn't feel much distress.
Because at first glance, when he reaches the fifth level, he will be at least several times the same level.
However, once condensed, the increase in combat power is immediate!
But if he learns this secret technique, which gives him super high "physical penetration", and coupled with his strange strength, it almost has the effect of "ignoring defense". Wouldn't it mean that he can become a high-level extraordinary with one punch
Hearing Ren's choice, Andrew's eyes showed rare relief and said: "Smart choice!"
It is too difficult to find a successor for his secret technique.
Not to mention that the learning threshold is high, most people's vision is also very shallow, and they simply can't let go of that fighting spirit.
It is estimated that after his death, he will only be left in the treasure house of the imperial capital to eat ashes. I don’t know when or what month someone will dig it out again.
Perhaps it will always be lost.
Why didn't he see that Ren En had such strength at the third level of extraordinary level? He was definitely a very talented person.
This secret technique may not be impossible to learn.
After a pause, the old man's eyes suddenly burst out with a glimmer of light, and he said: "Only after you can master [Dou Qi Transformation], you will find that your vision has reached a new level, and it will be a whole new world." level of power!”
"Um, senior..."
After hearing these words, Ren seemed to have thought of something and asked: "You can accurately sense the amount of my fighting spirit because of the ability brought by condensing fighting spirit."
"good!"
The old man nodded and said: "When you master this secret technique, Dou Qi will no longer be an illusory and out of reach thing for you. It will become your closest 'partner'. You will clearly understand Perceive the flow of fighting energy in the extraordinary body, and even the breath of all things..."
Ren was confused when he heard this, thinking about something similar to "elemental affinity".
It's too early to say this now, because the prerequisite is that he has to learn this secret technique.
... ..
"When the old man was young, he explored this road by himself and took many detours. Over the years, he has been studying secretly, and he has finally mastered this secret method..."
To say it is a "congratulatory gift" is certainly not a careless one.
The old man took out a booklet on the secret method of [Condensing Qi and Transforming Gang] that he had compiled, and then started a practical drill.
"Little Ymir, you should also watch carefully. This should be more beneficial to your current state. I can demonstrate it to you a few more times and see how much you can understand. Otherwise, after tonight, I’m afraid I won’t have a chance in the future…”
When Ren heard what he said, he didn't know whether the old man knew that his time was running out, or whether he was referring to Omar's current mess.
A worried look appeared on Ymir's face: "Grandpa, you..."
The old man was very calm and said: "In two months at most, I will reach the end of my life."
The atmosphere was inexplicably sad.
When the two of them heard this, they looked even more serious and seemed to be listening attentively.
They may be the last two people alive to hear the secrets of Andrew's teachings.
The old man didn't hesitate and started the teaching session directly: "If you want to [Condensate Qi and Transform into Gang], you have to learn to control Dou Qi..."
As he explained, he released his fighting spirit and explained the principles of this secret method step by step from the shallower to the deeper.
At this moment, the old man raised his hand and the teapot not far away floated steadily in the air. As if being dragged by an invisible hand, tea was poured smoothly into the cups of the three of them.
Seeing this, Ren was dumbfounded and shouted in his heart: "Using Qi to control objects?"
Damn it... this secret method is broken.
... ..
[Ding! System recording... ]
Ren listened, and the system started recording at the same time.
Even if you don’t understand it this time, you can listen to it again and again in the future.
However, the only difficulty is that the system cannot record the "meaning" level.
This lecture lasts for two hours.
For the first time, Ren realized that what a "qigong master" was.
It turns out that this is the “essence” that Andrew was talking about. There are specialties in martial arts, and this is a "qigong field" that even the top experts in Mafa have not touched upon.
Before attending the class, Ren felt that he was not just a fighting genius, but at least he could be considered a leader among qigong masters.
But after listening to the class, he realized that he was really just jumping sideways on the threshold of a qigong master.
Not even a qigong master.
It is more appropriate to say that he is a "martial arts master" with strong fighting spirit.
The real power of a qigong master is no longer in martial arts skills, but in the use of fighting spirit.
Although Renn has a huge amount of fighting spirit compared to the same level, he can use it very superficially. He can "overwhelm mountains and seas" with one move repeatedly, using his absolute superior strength and fighting spirit to suppress the enemy.
This method is very cool, but when you encounter an enemy that cannot be suppressed, you can only fight and be exhausted to death.
But now, after listening to the qigong master's explanation from seventy years ago, it seemed that a new door had been opened to Renn, and he saw a brand new way to use power.
When the fighting spirit is used on the blade, the power will increase exponentially!
This secret method of [Condensing Qi and Transforming into Gang] is similar to the method of condensing [Gang Thread] that Ren learned before.
Dou Qi is shaped into a line shape, which is a simple introductory application.
And this secret method is not only able to shape the fighting spirit into shape, but also uses a special structure to compress and condense it.
It's like condensing fighting spirit into "silk" first, and then weaving it into brocade silk regularly.
According to Andrew, this secret method has no limits in theory.
After the extraordinary cultivation level is advanced, it can be condensed repeatedly and reach an "unknown level of power".
This means that in the future, Ren's [Gang Thread] may really have the strength of a "steel wire", the sharpness of a knife blade, the length of infinite extension, and the shape that can be shaped at will.
That kind of exaggerated level of concentration can easily break through the fighting spirit armor of extraordinary people. Even without taking action, a single gang line can take someone's head.
Ren felt that as a melee fighter, he had learned this secret technique and seemed to have developed an incredible long-range attack method.
Of course, the most important thing is.
As soon as he listened to the explanation, he was already sure that this secret method could be practiced using the dream state of the brain!
This is the most surprising part.
With the "Intelligence Brain", for others, it is only a matter of time before mastering the secret qigong method that requires extremely high talent.
... ..
During the teaching process, the three people also communicated with each other.
The old man naturally knew about Ren's ability to control the Gang Thread.
Then it was Andrew's turn to be shocked.
Finally, a strange look appeared on the face of this old man who had lived for more than a hundred years and half of his feet were in the coffin: "You... have you mastered the secret of condensing fighting spirit?"
Ren said truthfully: "To be honest, I also learned a method of condensing Qi before I came down. So, I think senior, if you give me some time, maybe I can master this secret method..."
Of course, there is no secret.
The only difference is that the auxiliary system of dream cultivation is used to make certain cultivation conditions reach the "ideal state" and complete the work that others cannot complete. Of course, there is also a twenty-fold difference in dream time.
When Andrew heard this, his cloudy eyes suddenly lit up.
His blood, which had been stagnant for a long time, suddenly began to surge.
Finally, before he died, he found the most suitable successor.
This secret method will never be lost...
