Chapter 6: Reinventing Martial Arts

It wasn't until the next morning that Gu Yi woke up. This sleep lasted a full day and night, which could be regarded as recovering the exhausted energy.

Gu Yi felt comfortable all over, moved his body casually, and then sent the Pure Yuan Gong technique to Flender. It's better to master this thing as soon as possible. No matter how many ideas he has, he still needs someone to protect him when he is weak.

The emergence of martial arts will definitely bring unprecedented changes to the world, especially since he plans to spread martial arts throughout the world. This is a big taboo. There must be someone to protect the road. Flanders is his only choice now, and it is also the best choice. Although the spirit saint level cultivation is not as good as Titled Douluo, it is still a high-level combat power among spirit masters. Especially after learning internal strength, the strength can be improved again. It was more than enough to protect him through his weakest period. Besides, Flender had a nurturing feeling for him, which no one else could compare to. The relationship between the two is better than that of father and son. He gave the Pure Yuan Gong to Flender without any hesitation.

Flender only opened the Pure Yuan Gong in his hand after Gu Yi agreed, and was immediately attracted by the novel training method. As a Spirit Saint, his control over spirit power is far beyond Gu Yi's, and his control over the body is not weaker than Gu Yi's. According to the records in the book, Flender quickly and smoothly performed the Pure Yuan Gong. As the spirit power entered his stomach, Flender was surprised to find that his spirit power had increased a bit. Although it was only a small amount, don't forget that he was a spirit saint. The improvement of cultivation is much slower than that of a low-level spirit master like Gu Yi.

"If I practice for a few more months, I will definitely be able to advance to the next level." Flender was a little excited. After all, at his age, improvement in cultivation takes a long time. This exercise gave him a shock and the possibility to continue to grow.

"This skill must not be taught easily. Even if it is taught, they must first take the martial spirit oath, otherwise it will not be taught lightly." After Flender was so excited, a chill ran down his back. This is indeed a good thing, and it can even change the pattern of the spirit master world. But everyone wants good things. He himself is not guilty, but he is guilty of possessing the treasure.

Gu Yi is not a child. Well, he is still a child now but he understands the situation, especially now that he is not under stable society of his previous life. It was a feudal society with clear class divisions. It is only because of the emergence of spirit masters that has given ordinary people a chance to climb up.

"Dean, I understand this. If nothing happens, I will take the first step." Gu Yi doesn't want to stay here and stare at Flender. There are still many things that need to be done. The experiments of martial arts, exercises, and the operation of meridians. These all take time to build up.

Flender didn't know how to teach his's adopted son and student. He can only let him develop on his own. It's just that his martial spirit is so weird and unprecedented that it can't be taught at all. This made him feel a little frustrated that he has nothing to teach to his's son. It would be strange not to be depressed to death. Thinking of this, Flender also flew out of the academy and went to no one knows where.

At this time, Gu Yi was seriously studying the functions of meridians. Knowing where but not knowing why is not advisable. Which meridians belong to Yang? Which meridians are Yin? And together with those internal organs? A martial arts is created through classification.

His spirit power does not have any attributes. If there is one attributes, it is life or vitality. After absorbing the spirit ring this time, it can be seen that the spirit ring not only makes his body stronger, but also has an extraordinary tempering effect on the meridians. It can even help him open up the eight extraordinary meridians.

  Before absorbing the spirit ring, only one of the eight extraordinary meridians, the Yang Wei meridian, was opened, but after absorbing the spirit ring, another Yin Wei(Yin Linking)[1] meridian was also opened.

Next time he plans to try to absorb a thousand-year spirit ring, but judging from experience, he is still some distance away from absorbing a thousand-year soul ring. The body must be strengthened. In the era of information in the previous life, there were countless ways to strengthen the body in various martial arts and fantasy novels. Totally countless. But there are very few that can be used. The ability to forge the body with thunder and lightning is a bit of a dream for him now, and it is unrealistic.

However, Gu Yi set his sights on another martial arts , the Golden Bell Cover[2]. It's not that he knows this martial art, but it's because it's extremely easy to get started with, all you need to do is get beaten.

To be precise, it uses wooden boards to hit the human body, so that the internal force in the body can be integrated into the body, and then combined with medicinal baths to strengthen the body.

As a successor of traditional Chinese medicine in his previous life, he naturally knew some medicinal bath formulas that others did not know. Combining some of the herbal medicine books he had read over the years, Gu Yi was confident that he could prepare a more effective medicinal bath recipe.

He will also be prepared before that. He won't be able to master the legendary golden bell cover by just being beaten. Even though this martial art has got a bad name in later generations, it is definitely not simple, let alone easy to practice. What's more, he has no martial arts secrets at all and relies on his own exploration for everything. It is definitely not an easy task to create a martial arts secret book that is comparable to the Golden Bell Cover.

Although spirit power is not the same product as internal power, it has similar characteristics. Otherwise, why would the inner strength of Mysterious Heaven Technique that Tang San had practiced for six years make him a being with full innate spirit power? The spirit power itself can also nourish the body and achieve the effect of prolonging life. A titled Douluo can live for hundreds of years, and a limit Douluo can live for thousands of years. If the spirit power does not have such a role, how can it support the immortality of the body?

Thinking of this, Gu Yi also made several thick wooden boards from the woods behind the college, just wide enough for people to hold them in their hands. Each wooden board is 5 centimeters thick. Even though he is now a spirit master, his physical quality is even better than that of an normal adult. But it would definitely be uncomfortable to be hit by such a thick wooden board.

The stuff is ready, but now he still needs a helper. As for this helper, he has already thought about it. Zhao Wuji, whose martial spirit is the powerful Vajra Bear. He is also one of the teachers of Shrek Academy. There are only advantages and no disadvantages to having him help in mastering the Golden Bell Cover.

And Gu Yi believed that he would definitely agree. After all, it would be very beneficial to him too if he could master the golden bell cover. The Powerful Vajra Bear is mainly about defense and strength. If you master the golden bell cover, a martial art with extremely strong defense, your strength can be improved again. Besides, Zhao Wuji was originally a teacher in the academy, and it was his responsibility to help students practice.

Glossary:

[1]Yin Wei- In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the Yin Wei Meridian, also known as the Yin Linking Vessel or Yin Linking Meridian, is one of the eight extraordinary meridians. These meridians are considered deeper and more significant in their functions compared to the twelve primary meridians. It is associated with the element of Wood and is believed to have a significant impact on the circulation of Qi and blood throughout the body. It runs along the inner aspect of the arms and legs and connects with the Yin organs, such as the liver, heart, spleen, lungs, and kidneys. It is thought to play a crucial role in regulating the emotions and maintaining emotional balance, as well as in nourishing the internal organs. Blockages or imbalances in this meridian may manifest as symptoms such as emotional instability, fatigue, or issues related to the organs it connects with.

[2]Golden Bell Cover- The "Golden Bell Cover" (金钟罩) is a concept in traditional Chinese martial arts and qigong practices. It refers to a state of physical and energetic protection developed through training and internal cultivation. In martial arts, practitioners aim to develop a form of internal strength that can protect them from external attacks. This internal strength is believed to create a protective barrier around the body, similar to wearing an invisible shield or armor. When this state is achieved, the practitioner becomes resistant to strikes, impacts, and even certain types of weapons. The term "Golden Bell" symbolizes the idea of invincibility or indestructibility, while "Cover" suggests the protective aspect of this skill. The concept is often depicted metaphorically in martial arts legends and stories, where masters are said to have developed such profound skills that they could withstand powerful blows without being harmed. Achieving the Golden Bell Cover requires years of dedicated practice, including qigong exercises, internal energy cultivation, and conditioning of the body.
