Chapter 411 411: [163] Wang Longhu's 'Insights Notebook', Cell Guiding Energy Technique_3
Once the production of subsequent cell energy does not increase, the human body will begin to show signs of aging, and physical strength will start to decline.
The early manifestations include feeling tired easily after exercise and skin developing wrinkles, becoming rough and losing its luster, along with a decrease in collagen, and so on.
In the later stages, it becomes completely covered with wrinkles, hair turns white, bones become brittle, physical strength is close to zero, and vision and hearing are not as good as when young, completely transforming one into an old person.
Martial Artists use 'body training' and 'special breathing techniques' to stimulate cells to produce more cell energy.
Cell energy helps to maintain the vitality of the human body and also breaks the limits of human physical functions.
This is why some people can only punch with a force of 600 jin, but a Martial Artist in Ming Jin can reach a full strength punch of 1000 jin.
And for a Martial Artist like Wang Longhu, whose physical function limits are broken to a higher degree, a full-force punch could unleash 'the strength of one and a half to two elephants,' which is over ten thousand jin.
Wang Longhu was exposed to cell energy and embarked on the path of 'body training.'
However, he was not unfamiliar with the 'special breathing techniques' either.
Techniques like Tongzigong and the Marrow Cleansing Scripture use breathing methods, allowing Wang Longhu's entire skeletal system to achieve the divine aspect of 'Jade Bone Golden Marrow.'
It was this Marrow Cleansing Scripture that allowed him to grasp the realm of effortlessly lifting heavy objects.
Writing these special breathing techniques in a notebook, Wang Longhu continued to record his views on cell energy, gradually clarifying his thoughts.
After filling up an entire notebook with dense notes, Wang Longhu's thoughts suddenly became clearer and much more organized.
As Wang Longhu raised his hand, he instinctively stimulated all his acupoints.
His cells instantly boiled over, frantically generating energy that flowed into his blood and throughout his body.
Wisps of white gas seeped out from Wang Longhu's arm. Though not as obvious as Monk Yunlong demonstrated, it was still visible to the naked eye.
It felt akin to when you exercise and sweat in the dead of winter, and the heat from your body interacts with the cold air outside to produce white mist.
Wang Longhu gathered True Qi in his palm and suddenly flung it towards the ground.
"Ha!"
With a muffled shout, a three-meter-long and 80 cm-wide irregular trench appeared on the ground.
This power exceeded the Gang Qi he used by more than tenfold.
"The stamina and energy consumed in this move are really significant, equivalent to my using full force three times," Wang Longhu thought to himself, feeling the depletion of True Qi.
If Gang Qi is like a handgun, able to attack in a pinpoint manner with a range of no more than ten steps,
then True Qi is simply a shotgun, attacking over an area with formidable power.
Wang Longhu was already an exceptional master, and now having understood the unique True Qi of the Daoist School's path of cultivation, his overall strength was practically reborn.
If Jiang Tianzhen were to reincarnate and clash with him again, Wang Longhu would defeat Jiang Tianzhen with a single strike, leaving him utterly defenseless.
"I came in hearing such great commotion from you, it seems you've mastered the use of True Qi—truly a prodigious talent in martial arts. I thought you'd need at least seven days to grasp this,"
Monk Yunlong, dressed in a new outfit, came over holding a cup of milk and a hamburger.
Now clad in a casual suit and leather shoes, anyone seeing Monk Yunlong for the first time without Wang Longhu's introduction would never guess he was actually an ancient figure from over two hundred years ago.
"Senior Yunlong," Wang Longhu rose to greet him.
Now that the Heaven and Earth Alliance was under Monk Yunlong's complete control, as its original founder, he possessed notable leadership experience.
With only two of the five Elder Councillors left, he decisively supported three families from Japan Island willing to follow him, elevating them to the five Elder Councillor positions.
In doing so, he secured pivotal support, ensuring no one beneath dared to covertly stir dissent.
Moreover, with Monk Yunlong's extraordinary skills, none of the Heaven and Earth Alliance members dared to defy him. Thus, the Alliance was preliminarily under Monk Yunlong's control.
"How is it—how is your grasp of True Qi? If you are prepared, according to my words, we should find an open place to spar,
I haven't made a move in years, and I'm feeling rusty," Monk Yunlong said with a smile.
"Soon, I've just begun to master True Qi, but I believe in a few more days, I can proficiently use it in battle," Wang Longhu nodded.
If he hadn't encountered the awakened Monk Yunlong, he probably would have been stuck at the Condensing Pill stage of the Three Elixirs for quite some time.
It was even possible that he would never come into contact with the concept of True Qi in his lifetime, thus being unable to research the topic of 'cell energy.'
It's just like scientific research; without a certain concept, you simply can't develop certain technologies.
For instance, Newton needed to be hit by an apple to gain the inspiration for gravity, adding a significant concept to the field of physics.
Concepts are the starting point of a journey; without a concept, you wouldn't even know a path exists, so how could you possibly walk it?
"Alright, alright, then I'll wait for the day you become skilled, otherwise, without anyone to spar with, life would be terribly boring," Monk Yunlong said, walking towards the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the streets of the modern city below with a sense of poignancy.
The people from his era have long since turned to dust, leaving him unable to even find his relatives.
