As the saying goes, when one person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. As Long Ao gradually grew up, the status of the Long family in the village also underwent earth-shaking changes.
Long Ao's waist gradually straightened up, and when he walked, the expression on his face was different from before. A few years ago, he was dressed in linen clothes, with his head lowered and his back hunched, which had made Long Ao feel sad countless times.
Now, he wears a clean blue robe, a pair of shiny black leather boots, a machete stuck in his waist, and a stooped butler behind him. Although he still has to be respectful when seeing the offerings in the village, A rising tide lifts all boats, and now Long Ao has a bright future in the eyes of the villagers. Naturally, even the most powerful people in the village few dare to offend Long Ao.
In the secret room of Ma Gongfeng's house, Ma Wuya looked at Long Ao sitting cross-legged with a smile, and his heart could no longer be described as shocked.
This boy was born to practice martial arts. He had reached the middle level of a fourth-level martial artist at the age of 12. Long Ao could hide it from others, but he still couldn't hide it from Ma Tianya.
"Nine Transformations Xuanyang Jue is an internal skill secret book that I obtained when I was traveling abroad. This skill is more suitable for people with a certain foundation in external skills. The skill is masculine and domineering. The name of this skill is Nine Transformations, which is actually It is divided into nine levels, and each level is one turn. Whether you can practice this technique depends on your chance. At most one person out of ten is suitable for practicing this technique. Of course, with your qualifications, you can definitely practice it. The first turn." Ma Tianya explained.
Long Ao has long been looking forward to practicing internal skills, because it is simply unrealistic for a warrior to reach a high level by relying solely on external force. Even at the grand master level, his research on internal strength was only scratching the surface. On the contrary, his grasp of the artistic conception of martial arts is particularly exquisite.
"Now I will teach you the first formula. You should concentrate on listening to my formula. According to the knowledge of meridians that I taught you before, slowly feel the spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth. Breathe in and out, and slowly draw the Qi into the Dantian. If you are talented, you should be able to complete it in three days. Back then, it took Lao Er five days, I believe you will not be worse than him!" Ma Tianya's tone gradually became serious.
"Master, I'm ready, please pass on the instructions!" Long Ao said calmly.
According to the formula taught by his master, Long Ao recited silently in his heart and slowly experienced the changes in his dantian.
After a while, Long Ao felt a faint air flow slowly forming in his body, and was secretly happy in his heart.
Following the formula, Long Ao slowly sensed the airflow in his body, and slowly guided the airflow through the major acupoints around his body according to the direction of the meridians.
Ma Tianya's face was solemn, and he stared at Long Ao who was doing the exercises with his eyes closed. It was very important to practice internal strength for the first time. If you are not careful, you will damage the meridians, so Ma Tianya was so cautious.
Time passed by, and seeing the calm expression on Long Ao's face, Ma Tianya relaxed the tension in his heart.
Half a day passed. Long Ao opened his eyes with a smile. The inner energy was running in his body for a long time. From the initial numbness and unbearable pain to the final warmth like a spring breeze, the feeling of having power was really wonderful.
"Very good. To practice internal strength, you need to be so focused. With your concentration, I'm afraid it won't take three days to complete the first turn." Ma Tianya praised.
"What, how is that possible?"
When Ma Wuya put a hand on Long Ao's wrist, his eyes suddenly almost popped out, shocking Long Ao.
"Master, what's wrong? Did I practice something wrong?"
Regarding the future, Long Ao couldn't help but ask.
Ma Tianya had never heard of it, and his eyes swept over Long Ao's body. Long Ao felt like he was completely seen through.
"Monster, what a monster! No, maybe I should call you a genius, the genius among geniuses." Ma Tianya suddenly beamed, only to stop laughing and jump up.
"It took me only half a day to practice to the first level. God, if I had been as good as you back then, I would have long ago..." There was also a trace of jealousy in Ma Tianya's eyes.
"Haha!" Hearing what his master said, Long Ao felt secretly happy. This world is famous for its martial arts, and the better his talent is, the happier he will be.
"Although a thousand-mile horse is good, it still needs Bole's recognition. Master, if it weren't for you, there would be no Long Ao. One day, the apprentice will bring honor to the master." Long Ao flattered him at the right time.
"Long Ao, don't go home for lunch today. I'll bring you a message later. After dinner, you can continue practicing for the second round, haha!" Ma Tianya looked very excited.
In the afternoon, for the second round, Long Ao worked hard for a long time, but failed. Only then did he realize that not everything depends on talent alone. Each turn of the Nine Turns of Xuanyang Jue is difficult. The further you go, the harder it gets. The second turn is several times more difficult than the first turn. The third turn and the fourth turn, as you can imagine, get harder and harder the further you go. difficult.
"Master, how far has senior brother reached in his training?" Long Ao asked, always curious in his heart.
"He has just reached level three. If you work hard, you may catch up with him within a year." Ma Tianya said casually.
Long Ao nodded noncommittally. His senior brother who had reached the third level of internal strength training could barely reach the strength of a fourth-level martial artist, but he had reached the middle level of the fourth level by relying solely on external skills. It is conceivable that in terms of external strength alone, he was He has surpassed his senior brother by a lot.
"Long Ao, my master wants you to agree to a condition." Ma Tianya said solemnly.
"Whatever the conditions are, master, just ask, and the disciple will definitely do whatever he can." Long Ao replied with a smile.
"With your qualifications, even if you surpass your senior sister, it will only take a few years. If nothing happens, even if they practice hard, they will inevitably be surpassed by you in the end. My teacher hopes that you will not have any resentment towards your fellow disciples, and don't do anything when taking action. It’s not easy for your senior brother to hurt me. He was accepted as my disciple at the age of four. The girl he has had the most contact with over the years is your senior sister. It’s only natural for people to have feelings for you at a young age. It seems like all the pretty girls in the village have been taken advantage of by you!" There was a hint of weirdness in Ma Tianya's smile.
"Well, I understand, I will never embarrass senior brother." Long Ao chuckled, becoming even thicker-skinned.
"Hey, whatever, I really don't know what to say about you. I always feel as if you have lived for decades. Otherwise, at such a young age, how would you know anything about the relationship between children? Okay, you go back. I'll come back tomorrow morning. Come on!" Ma Tianya stared at Long Ao and said.
Long Ao was shocked, but on the surface he remained calm and nodded in reply. He also admired the master's observation skills and actually saw some clues about himself.
That night, Long Ao hid in his room and continued to practice the Nine Turns of Xuanyang Jue. This technique was of great benefit in improving his strength. With each new turn, his body's strength and speed would be significantly improved.
The main function of the so-called internal strength technique is to increase strength. If the Nine Revolutions Xuanyang Jue is completed for more revolutions, then even if it is still using a set of ordinary boxing techniques, Long Ao's strength will change qualitatively.
"The second transformation? I still don't believe it. For the sake of my beautiful senior sister, I must complete it tonight."
A look of perseverance appeared on Long Ao's face, and he began to enter the state of selflessness when practicing internal skills. A faint fresh air gradually appeared around his body. These fresh air were like smoke and mist, slowly surrounding him. If you look carefully, you will find these fresh air. It's moving slowly.
Feeling the changes in the Dantian, an aura like a small pebble gradually emerged. As the exercise was performed over and over again, the true energy inside the body gradually became full.
Since dusk, Long Ao has been sitting cross-legged. Time passed until the sky turned fish-belly white, and traces of golden light slowly poured into the room.
Long Ao still maintained the same posture as last night, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, with a hint of joy.
