Chapter 42 Times have changed In fact, this is overestimating Du Ruo. The reason why Du Ruo can drink so much is because his body is in some deficiency. In addition, his body is transported and protected by the mysterious "qi", so he can drink more than a kilogram of special medicinal wine at one time. …… The next day, Du Ruo got up early and prepared to go up the mountain. However, before leaving, he saw the kiwis that Yang Chenguang brought him yesterday. After thinking about it, he put a few in his pocket. These fruits were picked by Yang Chenguang in advance and stored for a few days. They are fully ripe and very sweet. I ate the monkey’s nectarines last time, so I decided to bring him some fruits this time. However, before leaving, Du Ruo went to the front desk of the B&B. It was still early and the front desk was empty. Du Ruo walked onto the scale and looked at the number displayed on it: 136. Du Ruo was very satisfied. The tonic and beef he took yesterday were effective. However, he couldn't relax and had to continue. Normally, for a martial artist like him, it would be no problem to eat up to 180 kilograms. It was conceivable that Du Ruo's body might have really reached the red line yesterday. Of course, gaining 5 kilograms in weight in one day is also related to Du Ruo's powerful organs and the "qi" in his body. Ordinary people who overeat like this are definitely close to death. After eating yesterday, all the functions of his body were used to absorb the tonic and beef. This is also the main reason why he felt a little sleepy after eating. After weighing himself, Du Ruo trotted towards the mountain. This time Du Ruo went up the mountain differently from the previous two times, he just wanted to stretch his body. In fact, everyone who practices martial arts will have a sense of hostility, which is a desire for destruction. Especially as the martial arts practice becomes more advanced and the body becomes stronger, this desire for destruction will become stronger. When you see a sandbag, you will subconsciously want to punch it. If you see someone bullying the weak, you will want to stand up and help. That kind of muscle impulse instinct will subconsciously suppress reason, and you will prioritize using violence to solve the problem.
Du Ruo himself does not have a very violent temper, and Xingyi Five Elements Boxing fits him relatively naturally. This is why he was able to stop easily and know when to stop when fighting with the man who went to find Li Qiyao the day before yesterday, and he also knew when to stop. Just because you don’t have much anger doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. Going up the mountain to get close to nature, looking far ahead, and relaxing your emotions is also a way to release anger. This time, Du Ruo still took big strides and moved forward quickly when going up the mountain, but he seemed to be strolling leisurely. He dodged branches or thorns more often when he encountered them. The first time going up the mountain was an exercise for physical strength, the second time going up the mountain was to practice boxing and light skills, and this time it was an exercise for body movements and eyesight. Every time Du Ruo goes up the mountain, he can gain a lot and make rapid progress. After several rounds of infusion of skills and knowledge, Du Ruo gained a great understanding of traditional martial arts. Many people who practice boxing only think about practicing Tieshan Leo and Banbu Collapse Fist when practicing Xingyiquan, because the power and effectiveness of these two moves against the enemy have been verified by their predecessors. Then they think that if they master these moves, they will be able to kill the enemy with one blow when fighting with him. In fact, after Du Ruo acquired the knowledge about acupoints in the hidden weapon knowledge, he knew very well that the human body is actually very fragile. Just like when Du Ruo was fighting with the Sanda champion in the tavern, the strength and moves he used could even be used by ordinary people, and he could easily knock people out. Now the times have changed. It is no longer the chaotic era of the late Qing Dynasty. What we have to face are no longer our strong peers, but modern high-tech weapons. Yesterday's weakness also made Du Ruo realize that humans are actually very fragile. He now wants to achieve transcendence, to evolve his body, to transform his body, or even... to live forever. This can be considered a transformation of the heart. It has only been a month since Du Ruo obtained the golden finger and extracted martial arts. This month has allowed Du Ruo to slowly change his mentality from an ordinary person. At the same time, Du Ruo is also looking forward to what kind of changes the system will bring to him in the future. It only took Du Ruo fifteen minutes to reach the top of the mountain. Compared with the previous embarrassing situation, Du Ruo seemed very relaxed this time, and he hardly sweated. Standing under the big pine tree, Du Ruo looked around, but did not find the monkey he saw last time. "It seems that the monkey's appearance last time was just an accident. That's right, those monkeys still prefer places with relatively high altitudes." Du Ruo was not disappointed when he didn't find the monkey, because he didn't intend to stop. Instead, he wanted to continue going up the mountain. The exhilarating chase with the monkey last time made him feel very refreshed. Climbing up this hill just now is just a warm-up, and the next step is to start the real exercise. Du Ruo subconsciously turned around and looked through the gaps between the branches towards the tea garden at the foot of the mountain. He had good eyesight and did not see anyone working in the tea garden. Then he turned around and ran towards the depths of the mountain. Uncle Yang had encountered this twice, and he didn't want to cause any more misunderstandings, mainly because he was afraid that the news would reach the ears of his parents in Dujia Village. Next, Du Ruo let go of his hands and feet, running, jumping, and climbing, moving forward in the mountains at a very fast speed. When encountering a ravine, he soared like a dragon; when encountering an uphill slope, he leaped like a tiger; when encountering a cliff, he climbed like a monkey. Occasionally, he would use his hands and feet together, and he brought the twelve forms of Xingyi and the natural gate into full play.
Huangshan is famous for its strange rocks and pines. It is extremely dangerous to travel at a very high speed in such a mountain. Fortunately, Du Ruo had amazing physical fitness. Although he experienced the changes in his body's strength when using the Twelve Forms while moving forward, every step Du Ruo took was very steady. The natural gate's light skills train the stability of the lower limbs and the control of body balance, which makes Du Ruo feel at home in the forest. Du Ruo was moving very fast, and the huge rock that separated him from the monkey last time appeared in front of him. "Tread~step~" Du Ruo was getting closer and closer to the boulder, but he did not slow down. When he was close to the boulder, he stepped hard with his feet, and like pulling an onion on dry land, his body rose higher. He then used his feet twice on the bulge in the middle of the boulder for leverage. After three efforts, his body rose to a height of nearly three meters, and his feet were level with the highest point of the boulder. "grass!!" Du Ruo originally wanted to land on the boulder in a graceful manner, but when he glanced around, he saw that there was something lying on the boulder where he sat last time. When he saw clearly what was lying on it, Du Ruo couldn't help but curse. But Du Ruo's body was still in mid-air at this time. The Chinese curse just now had already made him deflated, and there was a height of three meters behind him. If he fell with his back to the ground while deflated, even with Du Ruo's current physical fitness, he might lose half his life. So Du Ruo had no choice. He couldn't use the force to adjust his body in the air, so he could only step straight up. "Meow!!" On the boulder, an adult clouded leopard was lazily preparing to greet the morning sun, but then Du Ruo fell from the sky and it seemed that he would land right on it. If he stepped on it firmly, the clouded leopard would definitely die. (End of this chapter)
