Chapter 5: Martial Arts Enlightenment
More than ten years have passed since the death of Wang Ming, the "number one world in the world".

The soul was protected by the system and did not really die. It escaped a disaster, but also lost a chance to be resurrected.

No matter what, being alive is the best.

The only thing that makes him unhappy is that he cannot seek revenge on Zhu Wusi, but he thinks Zhu Wusi will be well taken care of by his filial sons.

Ok……

Filial piety is a great virtue! Filial piety is a hidden weapon! Filial piety is the end of it! Filial piety brings strength...

Thinking of this, Wang Ming was instantly relieved.

·
As soon as Wang Ming woke up in this world, he began to review and reflect on his mistakes in the previous world.

Finally, it was concluded that Zhu Wusi was hunting him down for three reasons:

1. His ability to collect intelligence was too strong, Zhu ignored his own uncleanness, and he panicked!

Second, he sought death in exchange for "The Great Shift of the Universe" from Zhu Wu Shi, which caught his attention.

3. "Indestructible Vajra Magic". Zhu Wusi started out by relying on "Absorbing Power", one of the two major inheritances of Tianchi Weird Warrior, and he also suffered at the hands of Gu Santong, so this martial art is his Achilles' heel.

And it's too wasteful.

My mind tells me to stay calm, but my heart starts to wander unconsciously.

He thought he was trading martial arts with others in a very secretive and steady manner, but the truth was he was dancing in front of the tiger, with his every move under Zhu Wusi's surveillance.

Shangguan Haitang, Gui Hai Yidao and Duan Tianya were all trained by Zhu Wusi since childhood.

If Wang Ming wants to exchange martial arts with them, Shangguan Haitang and the others will definitely report it to this old fox.

Even if they didn't say anything, what about Liu Sheng Piao Xu? This woman saw the "Phantom Sword" that Wang Ming exchanged.

Finally, Wang Ming couldn't help but sigh: "I'm still too arrogant. I'll be in trouble if I don't pay attention. The ancients were just not as good as modern people in some information, but their IQ was not bad, not to mention the old politician like Zhu Wushi."

Although Wang Ming committed suicide in his previous life, he did not regret it.

To be the best in the world, you have to fight hard.

The system only gave him the ability to travel through the world.

Unlike those awesome systems with sign-in, task system and other functions, the host only needs to stay alive and sign in to become stronger.

In "The World's Number One", Wang Ming's only advantage was his familiarity with the plot.

But the plot is something that will become invalid if it is not used after its expiration date.

Don't take the risk to grab a handful?
Could it be that he really used Zhang Jinjiu's useless middle-aged body to practice?

The fact that he could be easily killed by Liu Sheng Piao Xu shows that the aptitude of this physical body is average, and the martial arts inheritance is even more average.

Missed the plot.

Where can I find a good martial arts inheritance in that world?
Needless to say, it must be as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Wang Ming is very self-aware. He is not the destined protagonist, nor is he Long Aotian. Martial arts will not come to him on his own, nor will there be an old man who teaches him martial arts.

Thinking of the volumes of secret books in his mind, Wang Ming felt at ease.

The martial arts he collected in the previous world will be the best help for his rise in other worlds.

The system is too rubbish, so create advantages for yourself.

Otherwise, if you arrive in the new world as an ordinary person, how can you catch up with the "predecessors" and famous people who have practiced for decades?

Wang Ming thought to himself that now he was just traveling through the world of martial arts, but he thought that sooner or later he would be able to go to the world of immortals and gods.

perhaps,

I hope I can return to my hometown Blue Star one day.

After all, that is his home, where his parents are.

unfortunately,

Although the system can travel through the world, it does not mean that Wang Ming can go wherever he wants, otherwise Wang Ming would go back to Blue Star directly.

Let go of the past first…

·
In this world,

Wang Ming obtained the identity of one of the fifth disciples of the Huashan Sect.

He was an orphan who was brought to the mountains by Yue Buqun. He was only five or six years old at the time.

Wang Ming didn’t know whether this was reincarnation or possession of another’s body, but he had no memory anyway.

Because he was an orphan, when Lao Yue asked him his name, Wang Ming directly answered with his real name.

Lao Yue didn't think much about it, and he himself didn't care much about his disciple Wang Ming.

Linghu Chong's qualifications are really good, and disciples like Wang Ming are just thugs trained by Lao Yue for Linghu Chong.

Naturally, he wouldn't care whether the disciple's name was Wang Ming or Wang An.

but,

Wang Ming was still very satisfied with his identity as a disciple of the Huashan Sect.

After entering Huashan Sect,

Wang Ming received systematic and comprehensive education and training from Yue Buqun.

From reading, literacy, writing, dialects, accents to the identification of meridians and acupoints, everything was taught one by one.

After learning from the lessons of the last world, Wang Ming came to the conclusion:

"I have plenty of time. There is no need to stand out. I should stick to one principle: just stay put."

Therefore, Wang Ming has been hiding his abilities.

Apart from the fact that he really didn't want to recite the Three Character Classic with Linghu Chong and the others, and showed a pretty good memory, everything else was mediocre.

Linghu Chong's aptitude is really good, both in terms of comprehension and physique.

Wang Ming's physical aptitude is average, and his comprehension is also average.

Of course, with mature thinking, it is not a problem to become the second in command at Huashan.

but,

Since he cannot surpass Linghu Chong, Lao Yue will not focus on training him, and his resources are no different from those of ordinary disciples.

They are just tools.

Wang Ming never thought of killing Linghu Chong and then occupying a large amount of Huashan's resources.

That's good.

So that he wouldn't owe Huashan Sect and Yue Buqun too much favor in the future that he couldn't repay.

So he tried not to draw attention to himself.

Over the past decade, he has been like an invisible man in Huashan, with no one targeting him and no one caring about him.

The fifth year of climbing the mountain,
Start practicing inner strength.

At that moment, I realized how ridiculous my past thoughts were.

How unreliable it is to think that an ordinary person can learn something by falling off a cliff and picking up a secret book.

There are many professional terms in the secret books. I memorized a lot of secret books in the last world, but because I didn’t understand their meaning, I just memorized them without paying attention to the code words at all.

Only in this world did I know that it was a good thing that I didn’t practice randomly at that time, otherwise I might end up like Mei Chaofeng and the others when they practiced the "Nine Yin White Bone Claw", and become neither human nor ghost.

When you first start practicing Qigong, you need a master to "seed the Qi" and guide the disciples to sense the flow of true Qi.

Wang Ming also asked Lao Yue: "Can you develop internal strength without cultivating Qi?"

Lao Yue replied: "If you are naturally intelligent and have good luck, you can develop your own "Qi Seed" in three to five years."

Upon hearing this, Wang Ming couldn't help but sigh that the first person who created qigong was really amazing.

Talent, good luck, three to five years?

When you first start practicing the exercise, you may experience a stitch in the side or some bloating or pain in the abdomen.

If you get a little bit of gas, you will become a disabled person if you get a stitch in the side.

·
During the days in Huashan,

Wang Ming did not start practicing the "Vajra Indestructible Divine Art" right away.

It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s that I can’t.

In the first five years, Wang Ming couldn't understand what was said in the secret book.

At the same time, before Linghu Chong was fifteen years old, Lao Yue would check on his progress in internal energy training from time to time.

Yue Buqun was a suspicious person by nature, and another kind of true energy emerged from Wang Ming's body.

Isn't this the end?

but,

The treatment at Huashan is also good.

After practicing the basic introductory skills for one or two years, all disciples turned to practicing the Hun Yuan Gong.

To be honest, the treatment in Huashan Sect is really good. They start with the "Hunyuan Gong". This is the treatment that Yuan Chengzhi gets!
If you don’t practice the basic mental skills of other sects for ten years, do you want to change your skills?
Don't think this is abnormal.

At this time, the Huashan Sect's "Purple Cloud Secret Book" was the sect's signature martial art.

"Hunyuan Gong" became so high-end only after "Zixia Secret Book" was lost.

Furthermore, Huashan has a small population at the moment, so there is no need to hold on to resources. The key is to quickly train disciples.

After he turned fifteen, Wang Ming discovered that Lao Yue could no longer detect the progress of his Qi cultivation, so he began to practice the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art.

This martial art is different from the "Hunyuan Gong" which stores the Qi in the lower Dantian. Instead, it stores the Qi in the middle Dantian, the Tanzhong point in the chest, which does not affect the practice of "Hunyuan Gong" at all.
Wang Ming practiced very hard.

but……

What he didn't know was that the martial arts he got from "The World's Number One" were of very limited use to him.

Is the “Vajra Indestructible Divine Art” powerful?
Very strong, not too bad even in the high-level martial arts world.

but,

It must be practiced in conjunction with the "Absorbing Energy Method", otherwise it will be a bottomless pit, comparable to the "Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu".

Gu Santong knew the "Absorbing Energy Technique", but even so it took him several decades of practice to achieve mastery.

"The Great Shift of Heaven and Earth"!
It’s not the version in The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber. This version is just a simple skill to kill enemies, which requires very high internal strength to use. Wang Ming can’t learn it at all.

"Dominate the World"!
Wang Ming said: I dare not practice.

At last,
On the contrary, only "Phantom Sword" and "Flowers and Rain of Money" are the most realistic.

But Wang Ming didn't know it at that time, otherwise he would have regretted it.

At that time, a woman full of secrets was right in front of him, but he didn't know how to cherish her. It was not until he lost her that he realized...

·
·
There are also disadvantages to practicing two internal skills at the same time.

The progress is much slower than others.

The most troublesome thing is the resources consumed, which is twice as much as others.

To put it simply, internal strength is about refining essence into energy.

To refine the essence, you naturally need medicinal food, otherwise you will just be refining yourself.

One portion is obviously not enough, fortunately all the brothers and sisters on the mountain are a bunch of people who have no ambition to make progress.

Or it could be said to be ignorant.

When I was young, I didn’t want to drink any black and bitter medicinal food.

Every time a big pot is boiled, and then the disciples serve themselves. They are not allowed to drink out until the whole pot is finished. If they dare to pour it out or waste it, the consequences will be very miserable.

A group of mentally immature children don’t know the benefits of medicinal food, they only know that it doesn’t taste good.

So Wang Ming took most of the advantage.

But in the past two years, these guys have grown up and realized that it is a good thing.

This made Wang Ming's financial situation difficult.

Linghu Chong's status in Huashan is indeed extraordinary.

He is just a child leader. Except for Wang Ming and Lao Denuo, all his brothers and sisters basically follow him to get into trouble everywhere.

For example: Linghu Chong often takes the lead in teasing, Lao Yue invites a teacher to teach the Four Books and Five Classics, and lets Wang Ming watch a live version of Fight Back to School.

This kind of behavior disgusted Wang Ming for many years.

Wang Ming really wanted to review all the ancient knowledge. He didn’t want to experience the embarrassment of not knowing how to practice the martial arts after getting them.

Fortunately, Lao Yue was very helpful and kept inviting teachers to come to Huashan to teach. In the end, he basically invited all the teachers who could be hired around Huashan, and offended them all.

Later, Lao Yue found it difficult to find a teacher. He thought that since he didn't have to take the imperial examination, it was enough for him to understand the secret books, so he stopped inviting teachers to teach him.

Wang Ming sometimes couldn’t help but sigh, Old Yue is so unlucky!

Including the outer disciples, there are more than a hundred disciples in the entire Huashan, and the one with the best qualifications is naturally Linghu Chong.

Therefore, Linghu Chong's treatment was different from that of ordinary disciples like Wang Ming.

For ordinary disciples like Wang Ming, the medicinal food they eat is good if the medicinal materials are ten years old.

The medicinal materials used in Linghu Chong's medicinal diet are all more than twenty years old, which is one of the reasons why Linghu Chong's martial arts skills are so outstanding among his peers.

Wang Ming and his men were trained by Lao Yue as thugs, that is, tools prepared by Linghu Chong.

Linghu Chong is the true successor.

He was trained by Lao Yue as his own son and the successor to the sect. It can be said that he is the young leader of the Huashan Sect.

After Linghu Chong turned fifteen, Lao Yue no longer taught martial arts in a group, but taught Linghu Chong individually.

Then Linghu Chong will teach the other fellow disciples, which is to pave the way for Linghu Chong to take over as the head of the sect in the future and to establish his prestige in front of his disciples.

Another thing is that Linghu Chong often eats at the same table with Lao Yue's family. If ordinary disciples like Wang Ming sit at the table, it means they don't know etiquette.

pity!

Apart from learning martial arts very quickly, Linghu Chong was a mess in everything else.

Can't tell right from wrong!

He has no sense of responsibility as the young leader!

Unlearned and incompetent!

Drinking all day will cause trouble!

In the entire sect, the only one who can do things and stand on his own is Lao Denuo.

Can……

His sister is an undercover agent, and it seems that Lao Yue also knows it.

Wang Mingze didn't care about anything, nor could he care, and he didn't dare to care.

We are practicing two internal skills together, but our progress is not fast. What if we perform too well and get killed?
You should know that Huashan has undercover agents.

Wang Ming made up his mind to be his own invisible person.

As for worrying about Lao Yue?

Is there something wrong with your brain?
Why are you, a small fry, worrying about anything?
It's like a social animal with a monthly salary of two or three thousand yuan worrying about whether a billionaire with a net worth of hundreds of billions has money to eat!
Isn't this nonsense?
Eat carrots and worry less.

Just make yourself stronger first!

Obscene development is the way to go!

Once you become strong, it won’t be too late to pull Lao Yue down.

................................................

one day,
A letter was delivered to Yue Buqun, and then Yue Buqun summoned all his disciples to Zhengqitang.

"Master Liu Zhengfeng of your Hengshan Sect invites me to go to Hengshan to witness him retiring from the underworld."

Yue Buqun glanced at his many disciples and continued:
"Those who want to follow me to Hengshan?"

Soon,
Wang Ming looked around and saw that it was his brothers, and felt a little noticed.

He was the only core disciple who stood still and did not want to go to Hengshan.

It's not surprising that everyone else wants to go. They are all young guys at the age when they love to play, so it's normal for them to want to go out and see the world.

In Wang Ming's opinion, there is nothing good to be gained from this trip, but instead there are a lot of troubles.

It's really boring to go out with Lao Yue watching me all the way.

"Ming'er! I was planning to let your mistress look after the house.

It’s just right that you don’t want to go to Hengshan. You can just take care of the affairs of your sect at home!
Remember to supervise your fellow apprentices in their martial arts training." Lao Yue said in a good mood.

"Disciple obeys your command!" Wang Ming said respectfully.

Afterwards, Yue Buqun called out those disciples who wanted to go to Hengshan Sect but whose martial arts skills were low, and asked them to stay at home with Wang Ming.

Then Yue Buqun asked his disciples to disperse and go back to pack up and prepare to go down the mountain.

in the afternoon,

Wang Ming escorted Yue Buqun and his party down Mount Huashan.

"My fellow disciples, please take good care of the sect. I'm going to Siguo Cliff to practice in seclusion. Please don't disturb me unless it's important."

Those who stayed were all junior fellow students, so naturally they had no objection.

Wang Ming is the one with the highest status in Huashan now. How could anyone object to what Wang Ming said?
The swordsmanship on the cliff of repentance,

Wang Ming had endured for more than ten years and never opened it. Finally, he had the chance to go up and take a look.

In the beginning,
Wang Ming thought about telling Yue Buqun the "Five Mountains Sword Technique" to improve Huashan's strength so that he could live more safely and at the same time repay his kindness over the years.

But when I calm down and think about it, this is a way to die!

First of all, there are spies on Mount Huashan. Lao Denuo is a spy known to Wang Ming, but are you sure there is only one?
Aren’t there other spies in Songshan?

Are there any spies from Shaolin, Wudang or the Demonic Cult?
The leakage of news that there is a lost "Five Mountains Sword Technique" on Mount Hua will only bring disaster.

There is a precedent for this. The news that Huashan had the peerless martial arts "Sunflower Manual" leaked, which attracted a massive attack from the elders of the Demon Sect.

The two great leaders of Huashan at that time died in the battle.

and,

The martial arts learned on the Cliff of Repentance actually had little effect on Lao Yue.

For masters of their level, other martial arts techniques are of little help to them except for those at the level of "Nine Swords of Dugu".

Those evil cult elders are not much more powerful than Lao Yue. What they can break, Lao Yue can also break. It’s just that Lao Yue has no systematic summary.

At their level, what they compete on is internal strength, and over-emphasizing on moves is just a crooked way.

Among the top martial arts masters in today's world, those with the most powerful moves should be those of the Sword Sect, but their martial arts skills are not even among the top ten in the world.

Look at Dongfang Bubai's "Sunflower Qi", Zuo Lengchan's "Ice Qi", Ren Woxing's "Star Absorbing Technique", Fang Zheng's "Yi Jin Jing"...

PS: The plot of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer is mainly based on the 2001 version starring Zhang Jizhong.
