At the mont when Xiao Shuai’s heart was surging with excitent and he silently made a firm resolution.
Fang Cheng had already finished the last set of handstand pushups.
He twisted his waist and abdon, his body turning gracefully in the air, his feet landing on the floor as softly as feathers.
"Awake?"
Fang Cheng stood steadily again, looking at Xiao Shuai, who was standing there in a daze, staring at him.
Not knowing what he was thinking at the mont, Fang Cheng greeted him plainly.
"Uh—"
Xiao Shuai shivered, coming back from his daydream, and couldn’t help but ask cautiously:
"President, are you doing morning exercises?"
"Mm."
Fang Cheng’s tone was very relaxed, as if he had only done a few simple warm-up exercises just now.
Then he rembered sothing, so he specifically asked:
"How is your practice of the Great Sun Burning Body Technique that I taught you going?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Shuai imdiately straightened up and replied respectfully:
"Replying to the President, I’ve been practicing without fail every day!"
As he spoke, he seed eager to show his training results and was about to sit cross-legged and practice here for Fang Cheng to see.
"No rush."
Fang Cheng waved his hand to stop him and instructed, "Go order breakfast first, order more, I’m a bit hungry."
As he spoke, his eyes swept across this intricately decorated apartnt used for surveillance.
Then he looked out the window; the view here was excellent, almost overlooking the entire comrcial street.
Not far away, the silver-gray building of the Noah Group stood quietly, with glass curtain walls faintly shimring in the morning light.
This was located in the busiest area of the city center, and from the window, one could see rows of office buildings, surely making the rent not cheap.
Fang Cheng’s heart stirred, and he casually asked:
"Ah Ren, do you still have enough money?"
"Enough."
Seeing Fang Cheng asking, Xiao Shuai imdiately explained the situation in detail:
"President, the 200,000 operation funds you gave , there’s still 195,300 left, mainly because I bought a new phone and a plan."
"I’m now working at Yuanchen Group. The salary is high, so I don’t lack money, and the rent for this apartnt is covered by the Red Tiger Gang as support for the mission."
He spoke quickly, fearing the President might think he pocketed any funds or spent recklessly.
Fang Cheng nodded slightly:
"The funds are for you to get things done, not to be saved. In the future, spend as needed, don’t hold back on such trivial matters."
"Yes, President."
Xiao Shuai nodded vigorously, feeling warm inside.
He responded earnestly, then imdiately turned around and ran back to the bedroom, picked up the phone, and called a nearby breakfast shop.
He ordered enough for five or six strong n in one go, afraid it wouldn’t be enough for the President to satisfy his appetite.
When he returned to the living room, he found Fang Cheng had started a new exercise routine.
This ti, it didn’t have the visual impact brought by extre strength.
Instead, it adopted a completely different style, with movents slow and gentle, as if performing a palm technique never seen before.
Each move was smooth and slow, exuding a harmonious and effortless charm.
Xiao Shuai did not dare disturb him, quietly washed up, then found a corner in the living room to sit cross-legged.
He closed his eyes, adjusted his breathing according to Fang Cheng’s taught steps, and emptied his mind.
Slowly, his consciousness sank into an endless darkness.
In the center of the darkness, he gradually visualized a bright ball of light.
That ball of light was like a rising sun, at first very distant.
As his intention concentrated, the ball of light beca closer and brighter.
Interestingly, although the light was fierce, when Xiao Shuai stared at it, he did not feel any glare at all.
Instead, there was a kind of close kinship stemming from the depths of the soul, nurturing his Spirit and moistening his physique.
He felt as if his eyes had been cleansed by this light, becoming brighter.
Even his entire body felt warm, as if there were countless subtle warm currents flowing gently through all his limbs and bones.
This was the introductory scene of the "Great Sun Burning Body Technique".
Xiao Shuai was imrsed in this wonderful feeling, sowhat forgetting himself.
Fang Cheng glanced at Xiao Shuai, who had smoothly entered the ditation State, feeling quite satisfied.
Then, he focused all his Concentration on his own practice.
Fang Cheng was not simply practicing the newly unlocked "palm technique" skill.
He was, instead, preparing to delve deeper into how to "transmit force" based on this palm technique, hoping to use it to take his combat ability to the next level.
In the context of traditional martial arts, "force" is an esoteric and core concept.
It is not rely brute muscle strength but a kind of energy flow, full of penetration and explosiveness, emitted through the coordinated efforts of the entire body after long-term training and ntal guidance.
Different martial arts schools, especially Inner Boxing, have similar yet distinctive interpretations and applications of "force", often closely linked with the mysterious "qi".
In the Tai Chi Boxing taught by Ma Jianguo, there are three highly representative force transmission thods: Silk Wrapping Strength, Spiral Force, and Bounce and Shake Strength.
Fang Cheng first practiced Silk Wrapping Strength.
His arms moved slowly, and his entire being seed subrged in invisible water, movents continuous, wherever his mind went, an invisible air current would gently entwine along with the palm movents.
The air seed to thicken, pulled and stirred by his palms, forming countless unseen, flexible silk threads.
In Fang Cheng’s perception, the True Qi inside his body was no longer simply attached to his palms but spread out like a continuously extending spider web, erging from the Dantian and dispersing through the ridians,
with the turning of his wrists and the twisting of his fingers, faintly perating outward through his skin.
He could even clearly sense that if an object were to touch his arm at this mont, this Silk Wrapping Strength would imdiately cling to it, winding around layer by layer, enough to lock down the opponent’s joint in an instant, or even silently cut through their fascia like the sharpest steel wire.
Suddenly, Fang Cheng’s movents abruptly changed.
The sticky, coiling sensation vanished instantly, replaced by an extre sharpness and penetration.
His strikes beca direct and concise, with each palm thrusting forward, the entire arm carrying a slight, high-speed rotation.
Before the palm arrived, a drill-like forceful wind had pierced the air, making a faint "hiss" sound!
This was precisely the application of Spiral Force.
True Qi was highly compressed, forming a high-speed rotating air vortex at his fingertip, drilling forward violently with the palm movent.
This force specializes in breaking through various Horizontal Training Hard Skills and solid defenses, its penetration far surpassing a simple palm strike.
This is the Piercing Hand in Karate.
In Dong Yunchuan’s Eight Trigrams Palm, there is also a similar Force Transmission thod that can be used interchangeably, touching on common principles.
Imdiately after, Fang Cheng’s form changed again, like a taut bow instantly drawn to its full extent.
All the muscles in his body contracted in an instant and burst out the next mont.
His arm seed to transform into a swinging long whip, with each palm strike cracking a crisp "snap" in the air.
The sound was not loud, yet it was full of explosive power and carried an amazing penetration.
This was Bounce and Shake Strength.
It was no longer rely the strength of the arm but a coordinated action where Fang Cheng’s entire muscles, bones, and even internal organs completed a power accumulation and release in an instant, concentrating all the strength on one point and abruptly launching it.
This power, just like the wing vibrations in White Crane Boxing or the deadly pounce of a feline after curling its body, can unleash the most terrifying lethal force in an inch of space.
It can not only be used for close-range attacks but also burst out in defense, resolving the enemy’s impact, and even give the body greater explosive force during a jump.
Fang Cheng recalled how Wu Dewang would emit a crane call sound while practicing White Crane Boxing to aid in issuing power.
He faintly felt that if he could combine this force with the "Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound," he might unleash an even more astonishing effect.
With the repeated practice and integration of these three kinds of force, Fang Cheng could clearly feel that the consumption of True Qi within his body had significantly reduced compared to when he simply used True Qi earlier.
Ma Jianguo’s teachings were not wrong, and the analogies by Dong Yunchuan and Wu Dewang were very fitting.
However, the current limit of the True Qi leaving the body remained at about five centiters, still insufficient to support him in performing a real long-distance attack.
But Fang Cheng was not discouraged.
His progress could already be considered remarkably swift, and as long as he persisted, with the improvent of Skill Proficiency, these limitations would eventually be broken one by one.
Ti quietly slipped away during focused practice, and the techniques of body and palm movent continuously improved and refined through confirmation.
