Chapter 29: Martial Arts
Martial Arts are separated into 3 realms respectively: Bright Energy, Hidden Energy, Transformation Energy.
Bright Energy, the first and initial realm in Martial Arts.
This realm consists of 3 conjunctions, namely, the shoulders and hips conjunction, elbows and knees conjunction and finally, the hands and feet conjunction.
Basically, the 3 conjunctions required Martial Artists to be able to perfectly control their own body.
Once a punch was thrown, the entire muscles and tendons in one\'s body were able to combine their strength. A casual punch was able to exert one\'s full strength.
At the peak of Bright Energy realm, Martial Artists would be able to create a \'pa\' sound when they threw a punch upon gathering their strength. However, the sound did not originate from the popping of joints, but the breaking of the sound barrier due to the speed of the punch.
When one speedily waved a wooden stick in the air, there would be waves of sound, indicating the breaking of the sound barrier. \'A thousand gold is difficult to buy a sound\', this was the Dao of Martial Arts for the peak of Bright Energy realm.
Hidden Energy, the second realm of Martial Arts.
This realm consists of 3 interiors, the combination of heart and will, the combination of will and qi, and the combination of Qi and strength.
After stepping into this realm, Martial Artists would have to gradually build up and control the Martial Qi.
What exactly is Qi?
One\'s body would generate heat while exercising. The heat would cause one to sweat and eventually, the heat within the body would permeate out along with the beads of sweat.
The cloud of hot air that followed the secretion of sweat contained the Qi that arose from the hard work of Martial Artists.
Hence, Bright Energy requires one to control their tendons and muscles whereas Hidden Energy focuses more on controlling their pores.
The human body is like an empty wine bottle, filled with holes.Only when the holes are covered could it contain matter. When the pores are closed, the heat would be trapped within the body and at the same time, securely contain the Qi within.
Hence, when Hidden Energy Experts fought, they had to ensure that their body pores were tightly close and only open the pores on their hands, gathering the Qi. This is the so called 3 interiors, the combination of Qi and strength.
When they punch out, their entire strength and the waves of Qi erupted with exploding strength, easily exceeding the limits of the normal human strength.
The more one accumulates Qi, the stronger one gets.
This is the true essence of Hidden Energy.
Experts at the peak of Hidden Energy realm were able to use Qi to negate the attacks of their enemies or strike back, even if they stood unmoving.
Once the strength flowed throughout their entire body, the Qi would be able to burst forth from any part that they willed. They have reached the \'A feather nor a fly is able to land\' realm.
Even if a mosquito lands on their shoulder, they would be able to shock it to death using the sudden eruption of Qi,
Martial Artists at this realm was titled Transformation Energy!
Above Transformation Energy, was the Grandmaster.
Grandmaster was just a title and not a realm.
Legend has it that the realm above Transformation Energy was a mystery within a mystery.
Since Ning Zhong Guo was not a person from the Martial Arts World, he was not that clear about that realm.
… … …
"I see…"
Chen Xi thoughtfully nodded. No wonder he discovered a faint strand of Qi in Ning Zhong Guo\'s dantian.
"That means, if I can disperse the remaining Martial Qi within your body, the illness will be exterminated from the roots?"
"In theory, yes."
Ning Zhong Guo nodded, confirming Chen Xi\'s speculations.
All these years, Ning Zhong Guo had visited countless masters of the Martial Arts World, attempting to find one to cure his illness.
Sadly, however, Ning Zhong Guo was all but a normal person, and that Transformation Energy Expert from the Southern Coastal Provinces was too ruthless. He even used a unique secret technique to force all of his cultivated Martial Qi into Ning Zhong Guo\'s dantian, continuously harming his organs. This caused him to suffer an endless torment till death.
It was like using a knife to cut endlessly into Ning Zhong Guo\'s organs. Even if he consumed the Life Prolonging pill, it was not able to fully heal him and even continued to deteriorate
.
"Oh, it\'s easy if it\'s like this."
Initially, Chen Xi wanted to use pure energy to slowly sort out Ning Zhong Guo\'s 5 viscera. However, after listening to Ning Zhong Guo\'s description, Chen Xi finally understood the root of his illness.
All he needed to do now was to disperse the Martial Qi…
At the thought of it, Chen Xi send out his palm which came into contact with Ning Zhong Guo\'s chest.
As his move was too sudden, Ning Zhong Guo was startled by it and instinctively wanted to block.
When he has recovered, Chen Xi had already retracted his hand.
"It\'s done. Now, all you have to do is to consume the medicine professor Xie has prescribed for you. You should be able to recover within half a month."
"It\'s done?"
Ning Zhong Guo was stunned.
His eyes were opened wide as he stared as Chen Xi in disbelief.
Ning Zhong Guo looked as if he had seen a ghost. Instantly, Chen Xi understood that Ning Zhong Guo has labelled him as swindler once again. Hence, he softly sighed and patiently explained, "That strand of Qi was dispersed by me. Try to feel carefully, do you feel a cold sensation continuously flowing out from your dantian?"
"A cold sensation?"
Ning Zhong Guo doubtfully placed his hand on his stomach and sure enough, his lower abdomen was freezing cold.
It felt just like exposing your bare stomach during winter and continuously letting the chilling wind blow on it.
"That strand of Qi sided more towards the Yin aspect. After I dispersed it, it started to dissipate from your dantian. Hence, you will feel that your lower abdomen is slightly freezing. It will be fine after a while."
Finally, Ning Zhong Guo believed Chen Xi\'s words.
However, Ning Zhong Guo still could not wrap his finger around it.
This illness that had troubled him for so many years, were so easily dispelled by Chen Xi.
What did Chen Xi do just now?
It was just a casual palm strike. It even managed to disperse the life-threatening Martial Qi?
Is it possible that, he is a…
Martial Arts Grandmaster?
After thinking about it, Ning Zhong Guo felt that it was quite impossible. Hence, he decided to test the waters once again, "Mr Chen, are you really not from the Martial Arts World? Then how…did you accomplish this?"
He then pointed at his own stomach.
However, Chen Xi did not answer him. He shook his head and said, "That, you don\'t have to worry. I have already eliminated the root of the illness. As long as you recuperate according to professor Xie\'s instructions, you will naturally become a healthy person once your injury has recovered."
"Alright, sorry about my lack of manners…"
Although Ning Zhong Guo was still quite curious, but since Chen Xi refused to say, he could only stop asking.
Once the illness has been treated, Chen Xi naturally got up to leave.
Ning Zhong Guo invited Chen Xi to stay for a meal before going, however, he was tactfully rejected by Chen Xi.
Helpless, Ning Zhong Guo could only call Ning Qiu Tong to see Chen Xi out.
After he has recovered, Ning Zhong Guo planned to organize a banquet for Chen Xi, so as to thank his savior, Chen Xi.
Ning Qiu Tong accompanied Chen Xi to the door of the villa and the driver was already waiting for them.
It was still the brand new Maybach S600. Chen Xi glanced back at the vast and grandeur villa and suddenly, he thought of something and quickly asked Ning Qiu Tong, "Can you do me a favour?"
"Father has said it, you are our family\'s honorable guest. Whatever you need, just give a request."
"Help me find a person."
Ning Qiu Tong instantly nodded and replied, "I know a few people in the city office. Helping you to check a person\'s details shouldn\'t be a problem. What is the person\'s name?"
Hearing that, Chen Xi\'s face sparked joy as he said with agitation the name that he yearned day and night.
"Qin Ruo Ying."
