When he was young, Chen Yinglong often asked himself,"
What was qi?
Just as his parents said, his teachers said, and even the ancients said:
Qi is the basis of heaven and earth.
In ancient times, people in the Xia Dynasty called qi as zhenqi. They believed that zhenqi was the foundation of everything in the world.
Without true qi, there would be no world.
In modern times, qi had a new definition: Qi was a natural energy that could be controlled by consciousness and existed in matter.
However, the modern view was that qi depended on matter, and not matter depended on qi.
Chen Yinglong, who had a strict attitude, agreed with the new point of view. However, it didn't mean much.
This was because no one in the past or present could provide him with any help. Chen Yinglong, who was running around Mingtang Park in the eastern Chengdong District City, was already out of breath.
Since there were not many people going out in the morning, he took the first bus to the park. He pumped up the qi in his body by the artificial lake and drove his legs to run quickly.
In the state of high-intensity exercise, the qi in his body was completely unable to make ends meet. In less than fifteen minutes, more than half of the qi in his body had been consumed. In another ten minutes…he would probably run out of qi.
Chen Yinglong felt gratified when he calculated the remaining Qi in his body, but at the same time, he felt a little embarrassed.
He was glad that the training was effective. If he persisted in depleting his True Qi quickly every day, he could indeed quickly increase his capacity to hold Qi.
What made him embarrassed was that he had yet to catch up with the average of his peers: At this age, a normal Qi Refiner should be at level five…but he had just reached level four.
Sensing that he was about to run out of qi, Chen Yinglong slowed down and found a park bench to sit down and rest.
Qi, how magical…He reached out to wipe his forehead, but there were only a few drops of sweat. He quietly felt the heartbeat in his chest. His heart rate was still stable and normal.
After opening the thermos flask and drinking a few mouthfuls of water, Chen Yinglong noticed that the number of pedestrians in the park was gradually increasing, and there were also many people exercising.
After careful observation, Chen Yinglong understood that most of them were like him, consuming and training their qi…However, there were so many people now that they couldn't run as fast as they could.
Even so, they were still faster than him…Chen Yinglong sighed, stood up, and walked to the exit of the park.
Qi, qi…Since ancient times, all living beings in this world understood: Qi could improve the body's functions and strengthen the body's resistance.
The better the Qi refinement, the better the spirit and the better the body. The Qi Refiner who stood at the top would still be full of spirit and strong even if he aged.
As long as one was willing to consume it, qi could give ordinary life a terrifying power, which was comparable to dragons and elephants and swift like eagles.
In ancient times, Qi Refiners who wore armor and held copper spears were truly unstoppable. Sweeping an army was no joke.
Unfortunately, that kind of weight…Chen Yinglong shook his head in self-mockery. Once he started moving, the consumption speed would probably be even faster than before.
The feeling of exhausting one's true energy was not pleasant. His body was weak and his limbs were weak. Not to mention running and jumping, even walking was a little difficult.
This point... Every time after Qi Refinement, his cousin who collapsed on the ground and panted heavily on the chair had already confirmed it countless times.
Chen Yinglong wasn't interested in the power brought about by Qi Refinement. In fact, most Chinese people weren't interested either.
What people cared about was longevity, not brute force.
What is the average lifespan of humans in the Republic?
Ten years ago, the medical department estimated that it should be 247 years: Two hundred and forty-seven years, a total of two hundred and forty-seven years.
The ancients knew the fate of heaven at half a hundred years old, while outsiders lived to be eighty years old.
A hundred years old? A period?
Almost no human dared to dream about it-they knew that it was completely accidental: Humans were not elves, and having a hundred-year-old birthday was already the emperor's pity.
Other than the Chinese.
The effect of the Chinese Qi Refinement was so unique that it could even be said to be unique. Longevity.
Other than the People's Council and the Ministry of Health, no one knew the principle behind the Chinese's Qi Refinement.
In fact, the vast majority of Chinese people did not know what they were refining and why it had such an effect.
They only remembered one thing-Qi Refinement and longevity.
If he could live a long life, he would refine it.
Why was there a need to think so much?
Chen Yinglong, who was getting closer to his home on the bus, recalled a Chinese travel book he had read before. Inside, there was a paragraph of text:
New human beings, we are already new human beings.
If you don't believe me, please go outside and pay attention to the gazes of the people outside.
They looked at us in awe and fear.
……
Similar to Chen Yinglong, Sun Si also ran out of the house early in the morning and exhausted his qi through hard training.
Unlike Chen Yinglong, Sun Si really couldn't think of the things behind Qi Refinement. He only knew that his progress was not fast enough.
They had already broken through to the sixth rank, and Sun Si, who only remembered this, was gasping for breath. As soon as he got home, he collapsed on the sofa. He was sweating profusely and his eyes were starting to wander.
Unlike Chen Yinglong…Sun Si didn't leave any trace of assurance. He was completely exhausted.
Just in the training room, Sun Si felt that he was getting closer and closer to the level of Sister Li and Three Blades from a few years ago. Whether it was his explosive strength or the limit of his weight, he was approaching the standard of level six.
However, the two of them were already at the seventh level of Qi Refinement…Sun Si still understood. He was still far from it.
200 kilograms per punch? Sun Si couldn't help but smile bitterly. According to Sister Li, there was really a use for a hammer.
With just one punch, under the protection of the cushion and boxing gloves, Sun Si still used up nearly 40% of his qi. His entire right arm was still numb and twitching from time to time.
If he really punched twice, he would probably have to give up on the spot. Sun Si swallowed his saliva and forced himself to get up to drink some water to calm his chaotic thoughts.
Level nine, level nine qi…what was it like? Closing his eyes, Sun Si slumped back onto the sofa. The rise and fall of his chest gradually stabilized.
He remembered that Saer had once smashed the academy's testing device with a single punch…and had also pierced through the old man's shield…
Perhaps that was the standard level nine explosive power? That was the standard of a soldier…the road was long…still needed…hard work…
In a trance, Sun Si didn't even notice that he had gradually fallen asleep.
……
Originally, Liu Meng wanted to use his parents 'work to stay at home and watch the TV screen and relax on the sofa.
Who would have thought that Li Yiyi would insist on asking him out to practice with her?
Liu Meng, who was watching the history segment, didn't want to agree. They said it was a sparring session, but in reality, they were the ones getting beaten up!
In terms of Qi Refinement…on the surface, Liu Meng was on par with Li Yiyi, but he knew very well that he was far inferior to her in terms of Qi Absorption capacity, control, and explosive power.
Liu Meng knew that Li Yiyi had been learning from her father since she was young…Her Qi Refinement skills were not something he could compare to.
Moreover, whether it was the speed of reaction, the control of strength, or the timing of the explosion, Li Yiyi's control was exceptionally terrifying…
In Liu Meng's painful memories, Li Yiyi never wasted any excess Qi…She could always seize the opportunity to explode and kill him with one strike.
After being beaten up so many times, Liu Meng had learned a lot…At the very least, he wouldn't use his true energy the entire time, jumping around like a fool, waving his fists randomly, and tire himself out before the other party could even make a move.
Watching the historical drama on the History Channel, Liu Meng couldn't help but sigh at the vanguard soldiers of the past. The work they were doing was really deadly. With just that thick and heavy armor…even if the Steel Claw soldiers could carry it, it would be difficult for them to move freely.
Not to mention the consumption of true qi…As a soldier, if he was too tired to move on the battlefield, he would definitely die…Thinking about it, Liu Meng couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from the tip of his nose.
As expected, the vanguards in ancient times were not ordinary people…and those who could turn from soldiers to vanguards and then to commanders…were even more talented and blessed with luck.
For example, at this moment, the Qing Emperor on the screen…was definitely not just a martial artist as described in the novel.
After weighing the pros and cons for a long time, Liu He still couldn't resist the threat. He left home and went to the familiar gym, ready to be beaten up.
The sky was clear and the wind was cold. It was not even noon yet, but there were already groups of people strolling on the streets, chatting from time to time.
While waiting at the station with a few middle-aged men, Liu Meng raised his head and looked up at the flyers in the sky. He also wanted to hover above a tall building and overlook the beautiful scenery of the city…Compared to riding a car, flying was more convenient and more interesting.
Unfortunately, Liu He couldn't do it.
He could only enter the bus with the others, take a short rest in his seat, and continue the fantasy in his mind.
No matter what kind of flying spell it was, it required a lot of magic power…At least, before graduating from an advanced college, it was impossible for students to unlock the permission to enter flying and floating spells.
Besides…he was flying so high. Thinking about it carefully, he was actually quite scared…Liu Meng comforted himself and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
Soon, the bus passed through several stops and dropped Liu He off at the destination. It continued on the main road of Li City according to the regulations and transported many residents.
……
" You're so slow." Li Yiyi had already put on protective gear and waited for Liu Meng for a long time. She pursed her lips and was dissatisfied." Can't you hurry up?"”
Liu Meng was also in a bad mood. He used all his strength to tie the straps of the protective gear and twisted his neck so hard that it creaked."Don't you know who invited me?”
If Chen Yinglong had heard the opening greetings, he would definitely have mocked," the tip of a needle faces the wheat awn.
Li Yiyi was too lazy to say anything more. She brought Liu Meng into the separate room and stood on the training platform surrounded by spring ropes.
Most of the training grounds in China were separated into single rooms, so that the residents would not be affected by strangers when they were training.
In this way, it would be easier for Li Yiyi and Liu Meng to focus their energy and practice more efficiently.
Their eyes met. Both of them had their own thoughts and were prepared.
Li Yiyi suddenly swayed forward, as if she was going to throw a punch and make a violent start.
Having been hammered so many times, Liu Meng had already formed a conditioned reflex. Subconsciously, he used Qi Concentration to dodge and retreat.
The awkward thing was that Li Yiyi did not call.
At this moment, her expression was playful, as if she was mocking him.
Liu Meng was extremely embarrassed. Not only was he being played, but he was also being ridiculed as a coward.
Secretly circulating his energy, Liu Meng planned to launch an attack to avenge his previous humiliation.
Usually, he would never take the initiative to attack…This way…
Suddenly, he saw Li Yiyi close her eyes and yawn. She even covered her mouth lazily.
Opportunity.
Without thinking much, Liu Meng immediately gathered all the Qi in his body, sprinted forward, and threw out his fist and body.
Condensation, condensation, condensation, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%…
Burst! All of them erupted!
Close to 50%!
This was his limit, the limit of his power!
Such a charge, such a punch, such a thunderous explosion, it was unstoppable. There is no turning back when the bow is opened. If it doesn't succeed, it will be a benevolent act.
The moment the true energy passed through, Liu Meng's arm started to tremble and go numb. He stared at Li Yiyi, determined to win with one strike.
Even if she was prepared, Li Yiyi probably wouldn't be able to take this head-on." If she was hit by such a heavy punch, the Weave in charge of this dojo would immediately declare her defeated.
Furthermore, she was still in a daze.
After the punch, Liu Meng's arm was completely numb, but he knew that the chances of winning were changing.
Victory was often decided in an instant.
Suddenly, he stopped.
Or rather, he was caught.
To be more precise, it was restrained.
"You fell for it again?"
Li Yiyi turned sideways to avoid the punch that should have hit her in the chest. She began to laugh again, and the playfulness in her eyes was even stronger than before.
Because she had already caught Liu Meng's arm that was numb and powerless after the attack.
If he didn't succeed, he would immediately die.
To put it simply, the outcome was decided.
"F * ck! "Don't…" From his eyes, Liu Meng could already guess what this violent maniac wanted to do. He immediately turned pale with fright and begged for mercy.
Unfortunately, it was too late. Li Yiyi turned around and threw Liu Meng away like a hammer.
A certain someone was sent flying heavily, crashing onto the entire training platform.
……
" If I didn't know," Liu Meng said as he walked out of the training hall, wiping his cold sweat. He still had a lingering fear from the heavy fall just now." I would have thought that you liked me."”
The sharp-eared pedestrians on the road immediately focused their attention and listened carefully to the conversation between the two boys and girls.
"Huh?" When Li Yiyi heard this, she was dumbfounded." What kind of bullsh * t conclusion is this? What do you think?"
" Beating is love, scolding is love." Liu Meng carefully leaned against the edge of the sidewalk." It's written in the book.”
"What kind of stupid book is that?" Li Yiyi rolled her eyes. She was speechless."I might as well go and revise my textbook ~ Cute Three Knives ~"
Hearing this voice, Liu Meng staggered and turned around on his tiptoes, only to miss the old man who brushed past him.
" Uh, you can beat me up, but don't be sarcastic." Liu Meng was so scared that he had goosebumps all over." It sounds too scary."”
"..." Li Yiyi turned her head. She really didn't want to talk.
After thinking for a long time, Li Yiyi still chose to speak in her dilemma."I think you're really a little cheap…I don't mean to insult you when I say cheap. It's that kind of…very special…"
Liu Meng shook his head decisively, indicating that he didn't understand.
The passersby who were previously focused on the two shook their heads helplessly. They couldn't understand the conversation between the young people at all…They didn't know if they were too old-fashioned or if these two children were too strange.
……
A tree, a…a big tree,
There were so many trees in Qinghe Village that even Sai Er couldn't count them.
As for the big tree, it was also very common and not rare.
But this tree was different. It was unique.
It was because Seer had pulled a branch off and stuck it into the ground. He had used his spirit to urge it for a while before it grew.
How long was a period of time?
In less than fifteen minutes.
This tree…Sayre caressed its rough bark and felt its vigorous vitality. How should he deal with it?
Saier scratched his head and fell into deep thought.
Think about it, think about it…That's right.
Sail looked at the tree apologetically and rolled his sleeves over his shoulders.
The first sound was broken and torn apart.
The second sound was that of a collapse.
After tidying up his clothes, Seer grabbed the wood that had sunk into the grass and dragged it to his uncle's house.
Recently, Carl said that he wanted to add some small furniture to the wooden house.
The villagers were allowed to cut down a certain amount of trees for their living needs.
Therefore, after checking the interface of the agricultural and forest center, Seer immediately broke the new tree from the bottom and dragged it back to his uncle to be used as wood, giving him a big surprise.
Or rather, frightened.
