Chapter 149: Martial Arts Qi Refining

That day, in the Liu Family Courtyard.

There were fists and shadows everywhere.

Liu Ziwen was leading five high-level warriors to compete with Song Changming.

They said they were competing, but in fact they were just accompanying Song Changming to practice boxing.

Under the siege of many people, Song Changming was alone and still handled it easily.

After a while, the five sixth-level warriors had no strength to fight again.

Only Liu Ziwen could still hold on for a little longer between Song Changming's fists, but he was soon defeated.

"The Qi has reached the extreme state, the bones are as heavy as a mountain, and the force can break ten thousand pounds. As expected, the bone forging has been completed!"

Liu Dingsheng, who was standing aside, stroked his long white beard and nodded.

"Changming, congratulations."

Song Changming put away his hand and said with a smile: "After all, I can't hide it from the eyes of Old Liu. I was seen through this time."

"Haha, my eyes are not blurry. You just broke through and your breath is still unstable. I can tell at a glance that you have broken through. If I hadn't been old and my strength had dropped too much, I would have definitely competed with you when I was young." Liu Dingsheng laughed.

Compared to two years ago, Liu Dingsheng actually didn't change much. Except that his blood and qi had declined a little, he still looked energetic and capable.

This is also one of the benefits of practicing martial arts.

Most people who practice martial arts are strong and extraordinary, and they also seem to live long. Even in their twilight years, there are very few who are muddle-headed.

"Changming's martial arts talent is probably not inferior to those disciples of the hidden sects who don't come out to the world." Liu Ziwen rubbed his aching fist and sighed.

In the previous few rounds of punches, if Song Changming had not restrained his strength, the bones of his fists would have been broken.

At the extreme state of bone forging, his bones are as hard as fine iron forged a hundred times, which is far beyond his reach.

"Well, even if he can't compare to the most outstanding ones in the hidden sects, he is definitely not bad!" Liu Dingsheng nodded.

"Changming suffered a loss because he started practicing martial arts too late, and he didn't have a good background to support and cultivate him. Otherwise, his strength would be even more outstanding now!"

Liu Dingsheng said this, and he was comparing Song Changming with the heroes of the world, not just the Donglai County.

The most intuitive standard of measurement is age and existing strength.

Now Song Changming has passed the age of thirty. A thirty-year-old extreme martial artist is considered a brilliant talent in any place in the outside world, and there are very few who can do it.

But if we compare Song Changming's current martial arts achievements with the best young people in the world, he is already too old and does not have an advantage.

His grassroots background also greatly limited Song Changming's progress in martial arts training, which is also what Liu Dingsheng always felt sorry for Song Changming.

He really wanted to see what kind of outstanding performance Song Changming would have if he found a fertile soil and a platform space for him to grow freely.

I think he must be much stronger than now.

The biggest difference between Song Changming now and those young leaders of the world is that his starting point is too low.

Born in a poor peasant family, he is simply in the dust.

Song Changming can achieve today's martial arts achievements entirely by himself, which is a miracle in Liu Dingsheng's eyes.

Liu Dingsheng sighed for Song Changming in his heart, thinking that his background delayed Song Changming's brilliance.

Song Changming himself didn't care too much about it. He had a long time to squander and was not afraid of being delayed.

Poor background only makes him practice slower, and he has more setbacks and hardships on the road of martial arts. He needs to plan and fight for many materials related to practice.

And these are not unacceptable.

The long years mean that he will eventually encounter opportunities again and again, and he can try and make mistakes endlessly until he reaches the highest peak.

Therefore, time stands behind him and is his most powerful backer.

Even those peerless geniuses who can suppress him and are dazzling will eventually pass by like comets in his eyes.

Looking back after a few years, the eternal and unchanging bright moon hanging in the sky will only be him!

"Zi Wen, go and get the chessboard. I haven't played with Changming for a long time." Liu Dingsheng waved his hand.

The older he gets, the more obsessed he is with chess. When asked, he said that the chess game is all-encompassing and contains the truth of heaven and earth, just like enlightenment.

As one of Liu Dingsheng's old rivals, Song Changming can't understand this at all.

In his eyes, the chessboard is a chessboard, and the chess pieces are chess pieces, without any special meaning.

If we only talk about chess skills, under Liu Dingsheng's urging, he is actually improving every year. In ten games, he can win one or two times, which is enough to be Liu Dingsheng's opponent, not to be considered a bully.

And Liu Dingsheng also loves to play chess with Song Changming the most. The relationship between the two was gradually drawn closer from one game after another.

Now, for Song Changming, the relationship between the two is both a teacher and a friend.

During the move, Song Changming suddenly asked: "Senior, you once said that you can practice martial arts after you have reached the extreme state of physical training, but now I have the martial arts, but why am I not making any progress in practicing it?"

In the past two years, he would take out the Wind Dragon Divine Sword Art from time to time, carefully appreciate and observe, and analyze the martial arts scripture word by word.

He does not need to understand and master the martial arts exactly, but only needs to find a way to successfully enter the martial arts into his panel martial arts column, and he can get experience, and this matter will be considered a success.

However, until today, he has not been able to display this martial art on his personal panel.

Even though he has practiced bone forging to the extreme, he still has not succeeded.

This made him wonder if the methods and approaches used in martial arts training in the past would not work when applied to martial arts techniques.

Maybe, he really needs a master to guide him, and he is no exception? Can he only seek help from Gu Wenhui?

If so, it would be a bit tricky.

For the ambitious Gu Wenhui, it is okay to cooperate occasionally and get what they need, but he does not want to completely rely on him and work for him.

Especially when his martial arts strength is enough to protect himself now, it is even more unnecessary.

So, today, with confusion, he found Liu Dingsheng, hoping that this knowledgeable old senior could help him solve his doubts.

"Martial arts techniques are different from martial arts. The two are even different in the source, so if you want to practice, you also need to abandon many previous martial arts training experiences and start again."

Liu Dingsheng slowed down the speed of the move and explained to Song Changming.

"Martial arts are about momentum, the momentum of the sword, the momentum of the fist, and the power of the sword. To practice momentum to the extreme is perfection, and martial arts are about intention, which is above momentum, deeper, and more powerful."

"Intention" Song Changming listened attentively. In the annotations of the martial arts secret book, the "intention" mentioned by Liu Dingsheng was also mentioned repeatedly.

But he only heard and saw, and never experienced this so-called "intention" in person, so he never understood what it was.

He only knew that the martial arts he got was to practice this "sword intention".

"In addition, martial arts practice the body, and martial arts practice the qi. This is the second biggest difference, and it is also the focus of your practice after the extreme state." Liu Dingsheng continued.

Song Changming nodded.

In simple terms, it is a second martial arts practice track opened up by martial artists when their physical bodies have been tempered to the limit and there is no more room for improvement.

This is also what Liu Dingsheng said about refining qi.

Qi training is to train the internal Qi, which can be transformed into substantial Qi and penetrate the body with great power when it is used in martial arts.

"I think these are also described in your martial arts secret records, so I won't say much. The key is that before refining Qi, you need to open up the sea of ​​the underworld, condense and nourish the spirit, and reach the ability of inner vision, so that you can refine Qi, control Qi, and comprehend the artistic conception of martial arts," said Liu Dingsheng.

In his early years, he suffered from a feud in the rivers and lakes, which damaged his meridians and left him with a hidden disease. He missed the best time to refine Qi, so that he finally stopped practicing martial arts at the extreme level of body training.

This is his biggest regret in this life.

But he did have the opportunity to refine Qi, and he also knew a lot about it.

"So, I couldn't practice the martial arts because I didn't open the sea of ​​the underworld to condense the spirit?" Song Changming grasped the key point at once.

"It's probably like this. If you can't use your mind to see inward and sense the existence of internal Qi, you naturally can't refine Qi, let alone comprehend the mystery of martial arts." Liu Dingsheng nodded.

Song Changming understood now.

There is no seamless connection between body training and Qi training. There is also a process of opening up the sea of ​​the underworld to condense the spirit in between, which cannot be ignored by any martial artist.

This is also a part of the training content that is not described in the martial arts formula.

If Liu Dingsheng had not told him today, he would probably still be at a loss, not knowing the root of the problem.

This is also the importance of having a good master.

Song Changming had no one to guide him, and he was blindly working behind closed doors. Naturally, he had no way to know these things.

If there was a master who taught him hand in hand, he would have understood these things about training early without asking.

It can only be said that fortunately, Liu Dingsheng was by his side, and he could still help him solve his doubts.

Otherwise, he could only go around the world looking for those Qi training masters to solve his doubts.
