Chapter 9 Martial Arts

The next morning, Chu Wuji put on his raincoat again and went to the back alley dungeon, spending 60 stamina points to enter.

The store still had plenty of fruit smoothies in stock. Chu Wuji's visit this time was not to restock, but to try out the three martial arts techniques he had just acquired yesterday.

The familiar forest clearing, the familiar fruit with stick figures running around everywhere, only this time the fruit has turned into tomatoes.

Chu Wuji did not directly confront the tomatoes, but silently retreated until the group of tomatoes disappeared from sight.

Unlike martial arts techniques that are often riddled with errors and learned through self-study, martial arts techniques instilled through brain-computer interfaces do not suffer from any errors due to different methods of understanding.

However, this also brought certain consequences, namely that Chu Wuji's physical foundation was different from that of the martial artists who created and improved this martial art.

Therefore, there will be some minor adjustments needed during use. These small errors may seem insignificant, but once the body enters a state of rapid operation in actual combat, these errors will be magnified infinitely.

It could be a muscle spasm, a side stitch, or even hitting yourself – any of these could be fatal in a fight.

Therefore, before the actual battle, Chu Wuji needed to get used to these three martial arts techniques.

First and foremost is the most core and fundamental martial art – the Reverse Yuan Electricity Technique. This is a martial art that includes breathing techniques, external skills, and internal skills. Practicing this martial art can adjust the practitioner's body to the state most suitable for using the Purple Lightning Reverse Yuan Sect martial arts, and at the same time generate the Purple Lightning Reverse Yuan Sect's unique True Qi for the martial arts to control.

As early as yesterday, when he had just acquired this martial art, Chu Wuji had already subconsciously mobilized his entire body and begun to temper his physique according to the Reverse Yuan Sheng Dian Jue method, giving birth to the first strand of true qi.

So far, the true qi within Chu Wuji's body has increased tenfold from its initial size and is still slowly increasing.

Chu Wuji opened his attribute panel.

【property:】

[Premium: 2]

[Qi: 1]

[God: 2]

True Qi, this kind of bio-energy, should belong to the category of "Qi". At present, Chu Wuji only has a little bit of Qi attribute, which is still within the range of a normal person.

However, the 2 points of the [Spirit] attribute also seemed to affect the condensation of True Qi, making Chu Wuji's True Qi refining speed much faster.

Arriving at a tree, Chu Wuji threw a punch, slamming it hard into the trunk.

With a muffled thud, the bark suddenly cracked, and sawdust scattered everywhere.

The punch left a dent several tens of centimeters deep on the contact surface, radiating a slight warmth from the violent deformation.

Chu Wuji's hand only had a few wood chips left on his knuckles, but was completely unharmed.

Shaking his hand, Chu Wuji moved to the side a little this time and began to circulate his true energy.

He threw another punch, which tore through the air with a "Swoosh!" sound.

"Thump!"

With that punch, the tree trunk exploded with lightning-shaped cracks, and a circular crater ran through the entire trunk.

Whether it was the point of contact between the fist and the lightning-shaped crack, some white smoke from the high temperature was rising from it, but Chu Wuji's hand did not even show a red mark.

This is the true essence of the Purple Lightning Reverse Yuan Sect!

Chu Wuji raised his right hand, which had been used to throw a punch, and clenched it in front of his eyes.

The moment the true energy surged through, the arm felt as if it had been electrocuted, accompanied by a burst of muscle stimulation.

Is this what it feels like to use True Qi?

The punch didn't consume much of Chu Wuji's true energy; he recovered it in just one or two breaths.

However, this is clearly not the method of using the True Qi of the Purple Lightning Reverse Yuan Sect.

The techniques must be used in conjunction with martial arts.

Chu Wuji closed his eyes, and two other martial arts techniques that had been engraved into his memory emerged.

Humans can only perform a limited number of postures. Martial arts in this era have been more or less deduced by supercomputers with extremely high computing power, and every exertion of force in operation has reached a state of perfection.

The distinction between high and low levels of martial arts skills mainly lies in whether the skill is perfectly coordinated with one's own internal energy when it is being used.

Take, for example, the Purple Lightning Reverse Yuan Fist. Although it is a fist technique, it has incorporated various attack and defense methods such as palm, finger, and leg techniques over a long period of time.

With a thought racing through his mind, Chu Wuji used both hands simultaneously, transforming them into two palm blades, one above and one below, one to the left and one to the right, which slammed into the two sides of the tree trunk.

"Yes, sir!"

The moment the attack struck the tree trunk, a surge of true energy shot out, flowing back and forth between the points where Chu Wuji's palms landed.

In an instant, accompanied by the faint sound of electricity breaking through, a lightning-like crack exploded between the two points of impact, spreading in all directions.

The smell of burning flesh filled his nostrils. Chu Wuji had used all his strength in this attack. Although the damage to the bark at the point of contact was not much greater than when he did not use martial arts, the terrifying true energy had already shattered the inside of the tree trunk.

Chu Wuji simply pushed the hardwood tree, which was so thick that it would take one person to hug it, and it fell down, the point of contact shattering into wood chips.

"Phew—" Chu Wuji let out a long breath.

This blow took a heavy toll on him; the meridians and acupoints that had been circulated by the true energy were swollen, and he felt a sharp pain on the sides of his hands.

At the same time, this attack also consumed more than half of Chu Wuji's true energy.

It cannot be used repeatedly in a short period of time in actual combat.

After resting for a while and recovering to a near-complete state, Chu Wuji got up, found a relatively open space, jumped around in place, and began testing the last martial art, "Chasing Thunder Step".

As true energy flowed into his legs, Chu Wuji vanished from the spot, leaving only a blur.

"So fast... Oh no!"

A sudden spasm in his diaphragm interrupted Chu Wuji's rhythmic breathing, and he was thrown out of his body.

Fortunately, Chu Wuji reacted quickly and adjusted his body in mid-air, landing safely.

"This needs a minor adjustment."

It's not a big problem. Fortunately, Chu Wuji had practiced it beforehand.

The speed boost from the Thunder Chaser Step is also terrifying.

Chu Wuji's normal speed is around two seconds to cover 100 meters, but the use of the Thunder Chasing Step seems to have increased his speed to half a second to cover 100 meters, and he hardly needs to warm up before starting.

The only drawback is that after entering the state of chasing thunder steps, Chu Wuji's control over his position and direction becomes weaker.

However, once it comes to actual combat, this kind of speed, which is like teleportation over short distances, combined with the Purple Lightning Reverse Yuan Fist, is terrifying to even think about.

"I've gotten used to it enough, let's get started..."

----------

Outside, Chu Wuji returned to the alley, took off his raincoat which was covered in tomato juice, and opened the control panel.

I practiced in the dungeon for three hours, and my proficiency level has reached [Proficient].

But Chu Wuji understood that this was largely because brain-computer interface technology saved him a lot of trouble, and that as time went on, improving his proficiency would inevitably become more and more difficult.
