In the afternoon, in the familiar quiet room.
A strong smell of ointment echoed in the space. Ka Zheng was applying a black paste all over his body. That's right, according to Feng Xiang Mi Wu, no place should be left out. Although it was a bit embarrassing, he still followed it strictly.
In a moment, Kaxiu's skin turned a light black, and a cool feeling suddenly came to his mind. The senses were very comfortable, but the smell was really unpleasant. The smell was like the black riverbed mud dug out after the water receded.
It is very irritating and has an earthy smell.
"Are you ready?" Lisha's voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"Teacher, wait a minute, I haven't put on my clothes yet!" Kaxiu quickly grabbed the light yellow training suit on the ground and put it on.
"All right!" he shouted.
With a creak, Lisha pushed the door open and walked in.
"Open the window and ventilate the room for five minutes. Otherwise, you won't be able to stay focused when you practice breathing techniques later."
"Yes." Kaxiu did so immediately.
A cool breeze blew in from the window, and five minutes later, the room and Kaxiu were no longer smelly.
"From today on, as your master, I will officially teach you the secret martial arts of the wind." Lisha said, "Tsk, why are you so far away from me? Come closer, everyone comes this way, there's nothing to be embarrassed about. By the way, have you finished applying the paint all over your body?"
“Apply… apply…” Kaxiu, whose face was covered in black, twitched the corners of his mouth. He felt colder and colder, as if he had been covered with wind oil.
"Is the drug's effect starting to wear off? Then let's not waste any more time talking and start with the breathing technique and special moves."
Lisha immediately skipped the nonsense, threw out the book containing the secret martial arts from her arms, and explained the movements and essentials to Kashu.
Fifteen minutes later, in a corner of the quiet room.
Kaxiu was half-squatting in a horse stance, his whole body leaning forward, his toes slightly raised, and his head slightly drooping.
His hands were clasped together as if he was praying devoutly.
“Huff… Chi… Huff… Chi… Huff… Chi… Huff… Chi…”
The breathing sound rises and falls in a regular pattern, with the frequency of exhalation and inhalation being: "three-one, two-one, one-one."
This cycle repeats itself over and over again.
At this moment, Kaxiu felt as if he was immersed in a hot spring. The originally cool ointment now exuded a wave of warmth, spreading through the skin into the muscles, bones, and meridians, forming a large heat source.
"Um?"
He suddenly felt vaguely that the heat flow on the surface of his body, which turned into stars, suddenly gathered in the direction of his heart. At the moment of forming a vortex, it suddenly exploded and splashed.
Boom! Kaxiu felt his head buzzing, his eyes went dark, and he lost consciousness in an instant. When he woke up again, he found that he was still in the same position.
But two streams of red blood flowed from his nostrils.
"This is… "
Kaxiu looked up in confusion, and the text in the upper right corner suddenly jumped.
"Elephant Soul Secret Art Incomplete: Spikes 5% (three layers in total)"
The progress jumped directly to 5% of the first level! Also, what does this incompleteness behind the Elephant Soul Secret Technique mean
Kaxiu sensed it slightly and obtained some residual information.
Incomplete, as the name suggests, means that the Xiangpo Secret Art is not complete, with a total of three realms, spikes, insect bites and burning wind.
First layer of spikes, all. Second layer of insect bites, all.
The third level of Foehn is incomplete. The completeness is 55%.
"Is it to prevent the most critical level from being leaked? A means to maintain the loyalty of the core disciples. Or is it that the Wind Elephant Sect only has two and a half levels of the Elephant Soul Secret Art, and the core inheritance is incomplete?"
Many thoughts went through Kaxiu's mind at once.
"How is it? The first time you practice the Elephant Soul Secret Technique is the most stimulating to the body and can also bring great benefits. From the first day of practice to the tenth day is a period of rapid progress. Cherish this time." Lixia walked over and said.
Kaxiu stood up, looking a little confused.
"Okay, wipe the blood from your nose, and let's go eat."
"Yes." Kaxiu walked all the way to the bathroom, wiped the blood from his nose, but found that the ointment on his skin had disappeared.
There is only a thin transparent layer that exudes a faint fragrance.
Just like the sunscreen applied by the beauty-loving girls in the previous life, if you don’t look carefully, you can’t even notice there is a thin film.
"It's quite convenient..." Kaxiu muttered to himself.
He took off his upper body clothes and stood in front of a bright and smooth mirror. Chest muscles, abdominal muscles, oblique shoulder muscles, biceps.
It is lean but not exaggerated, bulging but not protruding. The overall shape gives a streamlined feeling, and the muscles are firm and elastic.
From a skinny bamboo pole to a sturdy body like a cheetah.
It took Kaxiu nearly six months in total.
He patted his solid chest with his hands, feeling the dull thumping sensation. He inexplicably gained confidence in facing the crisis of reality.
"No one can take my life."
"Levi!"
"Hey, here it comes!"
…
Time passed day by day, and just as Lisha said, the first ten days were the fastest stage for training the Elephant Soul Secret Technique.
During these ten days, Kaxiu improved at a rate of 1% per day. Every night he dreamed that his bones were growing, and every day he could feel his muscles tightening. His physical fitness improved little by little.
During this time, Lisha also taught Kashu the Wind Elephant Secret Martial Arts, the Wind Elephant Fist. It was an advanced version of the basic Wind Elephant fighting technique, and all the basic moves could be found in the fighting technique.
However, the Wind Elephant Fist's moves are all more complex and advanced combinations, mixed with a lot of explosive techniques. It is impossible to use it without an extraordinary physique.
Therefore, the Xiangpo Secret Art is the foundation and the Fengxiang Fist is the branches and leaves.
The priority of the two is generally to put Xiangpo Secret Technique first.
Kaxiu trained hard, and fifteen days passed in a flash.
"Elephant Soul Secret Art: Spikes 15.5% (three levels in total)"
"Wind Fist Incomplete: Gale 5.6% (three levels in total)"
As expected, the Wind Elephant Fist and the Elephant Soul Secret Technique, both fighting methods, were incomplete, lacking a certain part of the third level.
However, this had no effect on Kaxiu who had just started practicing.
As the sun sets, a brilliant glow hovers in the sky, and in an instant the sky is dyed deep red. The slowly moving clouds look like a magnificent red ocean.
In front of the cafeteria, in a neat open space.
"Xiao Wei, let's make a deal. I'll take a leave of absence and go home in half a month. We'll go see our mother." Li Chu sighed and said, "I wonder if anyone waters the sycamore tree at home..."
"Okay." Kaxiu stood beside Li Chu, his shadow lengthening.
"Xiao Wei, you seem to be taller than me." Li Chu raised his hand and gestured the heights of the two in surprise.
"Yes." Kaxiu looked up, his face glowing red.
"Xiao Wei..."
The two of them walked along like this, with each asking questions and me answering them.
He stopped only at a fork in the road.
"Xiao Wei, are you worried about something today? You can tell me. Don't keep it in your heart. It's very uncomfortable."
Li Chu looked up, a worried look on his pale face.
"Sis, it's nothing. Can I give you a hug?"
"Oh... sure."
Li Chu was stunned for a moment, then took the initiative to open his arms and hugged Kaxiu. His right hand patted Kaxiu's back from time to time, just like a mother comforting a crying child, warm and gentle.
At the same time.
Kaxiu also patted Li Chu on the back: "Sorry."
"What did you say?"
"nothing."
The two separated and walked towards the left and right forks in the road.
Li Chu smiled and waved over here: "See you tomorrow."
Kaxiu raised his fist with his back to Li Chu: "Goodbye..."
