Chapter 3 Extra Points While recalling the key points, Du Ruo naturally began to practice the Three Body Posture. The Three Body Posture is divided into two types due to difficulty. The most basic is the double Three Body Posture, which means placing the balance when standing between the legs and letting both legs bear the weight together. Du Ruo chose a more difficult practice method, the single-weight three-body pose, which means placing the center of gravity on one leg. Because the single-weight three-body posture is the fastest and most effective way to change strength. There is no such thing as being perfunctory in practicing martial arts. Only effective practice can yield results. Moreover, the skill-related knowledge in his mind does not allow him to be perfunctory. Du Ruo got into position, emptied his mind, stopped thinking, and began to feel the changes in his body. After doing the single-weight three-body pose for half a minute, soreness, numbness and itching began to spread from the feet to the whole body, and then the body began to shake unconsciously. This feeling was so uncomfortable, as if ants were crawling on his body. Slowly, Du Ruo realized that his standing posture was about to be deformed. "Huh... the time is a bit short, not even a minute." Not long after the shaking started, Du Ruo could no longer hold on. He took a breath, stood up straight, stretched his body, then changed feet and continued standing. There is a standard for changing the strength of the Xingyi Three Postures, and that is to persist for three minutes.
With the correct posture, if you can stand in the single-weight three-body posture for three minutes, the change of strength is completed. The unconscious shaking of the body just now is actually the beginning of changing strength. The stiffness of the body (muscle force) will be shaken off during the shaking and turned into whole strength (bone force). But at the same time, we should also pay attention that shaking is allowed but the posture cannot be deformed. It becomes more difficult to stand in the stance as time goes on. The first two and a half minutes test your body, while the last thirty seconds test your perseverance and faith. Therefore, practicing martial arts is a process of perseverance, and it is also a kind of tempering of your martial arts spirit. The Xingyiquan knowledge that Du Ruo obtained from the panel made him know how to practice and how to practice correctly without taking any detours. What matters in the three-body standing posture is not the duration, but whether the posture is correct and whether you can persist in it. If the posture is correct, you can gain one minute's worth of skill by standing for one minute. If the posture is incorrect, it will be useless even if you practice for ten years. Du Ruo practiced for half an hour. Just when he started to feel a little impatient, he saw the panel jump. Skills: Xingyiquan LV0 (1/100) Attribute points: "Is it only a little bit of proficiency and attribute points that I gained after practicing for half an hour?" Du Ruo stopped and sat down in a chair to rest, feeling excited and satisfied as he looked at the panel in front of him. Du Ruo found the long-lost happiness. This happiness was simple and pure. Du Ruo had only felt it when he was in school and played an online game for the first time and watched the character he controlled level up. "Then the next step is: add some points!!" Du Ruo looked at the familiar panel, and at the same time a "+" sign appeared behind the energy value, indicating that points could be added. Without hesitation, Du Ruo added his only attribute point to the lowest "Essence". Du Ruo only felt a warm current surging, traveling from his dantian throughout his body, and the muscle soreness from the exercise just now seemed to be relieved. "Keep up the good work. Next, it's time to practice the Xingyi Five Elements Boxing routine." After adding points, Du Ruo felt it carefully, but unfortunately, apart from feeling a little more comfortable, there didn't seem to be much improvement. It was obvious that the value was still a little low. Du Ruo decided to strike while the iron was hot and began to try the Xingyi Five Elements Boxing routine to see if he could gain a little experience after practicing it once, or if, like the Three-Body Style, he needed to practice for a certain period of time before gaining a little experience and attribute points. Another reason is that standing still also requires a relaxed mind. Usually, when you are restless and irritable, it is not recommended to stand still or do static exercises. Xingyi Five Elements Boxing is the basic boxing of Xingyi Quan, including the chopping fist, drilling fist, collapsing fist, cannon fist, and horizontal fist. Each boxing method is matched with the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. The practice of Five Elements Boxing is very particular and requires consideration of the relationship between the five elements.
With the skills and knowledge, and the fact that these movements did not require much physical strength and could be done easily, Du Ruo's practice was just like a textbook from the beginning, with no deviations or mistakes in his movements. After performing the boxing technique once, the skill remained unchanged. Du Ruo was not disappointed, but continued to practice, while clearing his mind and stopping thinking too much, fully experiencing the changes that boxing practice brought to his body. Half an hour later, the skill proficiency jumped again, increased a little, and the attribute points increased by again. Without hesitation, he continued to add attribute points to "essence". The fatigue in his body dissipated and his energy was restored a little. The feeling of immediately getting rewards for his efforts was so great that Du Ruo couldn't help but indulge in it. Every time the experience bar jumped, Du Ruo felt satisfied. This visible growth gave Du Ruo great motivation. Du Ruo knew that from then on, his life began to become smooth, because hard work pays off, he no longer had to take detours, nor would he run into walls, or even bottlenecks, at least when it came to practicing martial arts. Du Ruo was absorbed in the practice, and then there were sounds coming from the first floor, as if her family had returned. However, Du Ruo was most excited at this moment and had no intention of stopping at all. Just after Du Ruo had practiced wholeheartedly for three hours, he added the attribute points he had gained to "Essence" again. The panel changed, and Du Ruo had to stop. Name: Du Ruo Age: 31 Refinement: () Gas: () God: () Attribute points: Skills: Xingyiquan LV0 (6/100) Note: The host's body cannot withstand all skills, please work hard to improve yourself. The six points of skill proficiency were the result of Du Ruo's full dedication for just three hours. In addition, the biggest change is that his energy and spirit have just declined, especially his spirit and energy. At this time, Du Ruo relaxed and only felt a headache. He also felt that the bowl of noodles he had eaten in the afternoon had been completely absorbed, and his stomach was empty and he was very hungry. Du Ruo frowned and sighed, knowing that he could not practice anymore. The fundamental purpose of practicing martial arts is to make oneself stronger, and unlimited practice is definitely not a good thing. What's more, for a beginner like Du Ruo, blindly practicing can easily damage the foundation, which will end up being counterproductive. At the same time, it also made Du Ruo completely understand one thing, that this is reality, not a game, and he can practice endlessly. "That's good. At least it means I'm the one playing the game, not the game playing me." Thinking of this, Du Ruo smiled instead. This real feeling made him feel at ease. If he could practice endlessly, maybe he would really become a machine. (End of this chapter)
