(First Update) Body Refinent Fist?
When the crowd watched Ye Qiu complete a series of bizarre movents, they were sowhat baffled.
This martial art seed sowhat different from the kung fu they rembered.
Ye Qiu’s version of the fist technique did not appear very powerful and the movents seed difficult.
Soone tried to follow along and only managed to maintain the pose for a few seconds before they had to give up; it was too hard.
At this ti, the five police officers who had been punished earlier felt sothing familiar about these movents, and because they had been forced to hold a strange pose for half an hour earlier, this Body Refinent Fist now seed much easier.
Ye Qiu began to slow down his movents and continually pointed out and corrected the crowd’s errors.
With demonstration after demonstration and correction upon correction, they finally learned it fairly well.
Ye Qiu’s requirent was to perform the Body Refinent Fist in one continuous, flowing sequence.
It seed simple and slow, but only when soone actually tried it would they discover it wasn’t as easy as imagined.
Take one movent, for example: standing on one leg with the other hooked around it, hands together above the waist as if in prayer.
This move resembled an action from Buddhist practice, but to perform it in a series while maintaining stability was not simple; it required excellent balance and center of gravity control.
Gradually, everyone realized that aside from the strange movents, the main aspect was gaining control over the body’s center of gravity and maintaining balance, which was the key to mastering the essence of the Body Refinent Fist.
Ye Qiu sat cross-legged on a rock, watching everyone gradually speed up their movents and deepen their understanding of the Body Refinent Fist.
In fact, many had practiced so Body Refinent Fist techniques before, but those were the most basic forms taught during military training, nothing like what Ye Qiu was teaching now.
Among the crowd, Wei Zidong and Lin Qiao’er were practicing with great concentration.
While others were still getting the hang of it, they had already started to link the movents of the Body Refinent Fist together smoothly.
This surprised Ye Qiu, who had not expected Wei Zidong and Lin Qiao’er to grasp the key points so quickly.
Watching everyone’s movents transition from awkward to proficient, Ye Qiu couldn’t help but recall the ti when the Old Master first taught him this Body Refinent Fist.
This was the first kung fu technique he had learned.
The Old Master’s requirent was simple: to perform it from beginning to end in one go.
Of course, this was not easy for an energetic and restless youth who had to overco difficulties in willpower and endurance.
Ye Qiu, however, gritted his teeth and persevered, not disappointing the Old Master.
The sweat he poured into his effort was well rewarded.
Although the Body Refinent Fist didn’t seem powerful, its true aning was much more important than any formidable attack technique.
Once the essence was mastered, the body’s flexibility would greatly improve, laying a strong foundation for future training.
Mastering control over the body’s center of gravity would help maintain stability under any circumstances.
Ye Qiu had his reasons for making everyone climb Azure Dragon Mountain before teaching the Body Refinent Fist: to improve their endurance, willpower, bodily resilience, and quick reflexes.
These are the qualities a master must have.
Although he wasn’t training these officers to beco martial arts experts, Ye Qiu used the sa rigorous conditions that would benefit any martial artist, which was clearly beneficial and harmless for the thirty officers.
Perhaps the true significance of Ye Qiu’s intentions would only be understood when everyone personally felt a huge change in themselves, realizing that all of Ye Qiu’s requirents had their aning.
Almost half a day’s ti was spent on the Body Refinent Fist, and at the end of the day’s training, everyone astonishingly found that besides being extrely hungry, they did not feel particularly tired, which amazed them all.
Ye Qiu didn’t explain, but many thought it might have sothing to do with the Body Refinent Fist he had taught them.
The look in their eyes when they regarded Ye Qiu now contained a bit more reverence.
The next day, just like before dawn, everyone gathered again at the foot of Azure Dragon Mountain.
The training regin was the sa: climb Azure Dragon Mountain, up and then down, followed by the Body Refinent Fist.
However, this ti they were required to climb Azure Dragon Mountain once more before the day ended.
After such a grueling week, although there were no earth-shattering changes among the group, their speed climbing up and down the mountain had increased several tis compared to the start, and they could perform the Body Refinent Fist in one go, without interruption.
On that day, Ye Qiu had everyone et at the beach.
Being unafraid of the mountain and practicing the Body Refinent Fist there led many to believe that there would be a new training regin.
The seaside in winter was quite cold, even more so by three parts than Azure Dragon Mountain, after all, the sea breeze that blew over from the distant center of the sea was significantly different from the usual cold wind.
Even if they wore many layers, this kind of sea breeze could effortlessly penetrate through their clothing.
“Instructor Ye, how will we train at the seaside?” soone asked curiously.
“Yeah, if the instructor asks us to practice our punches at the seaside, that wouldn’t be too bad.
I feel that even the Body Refinent Fist wouldn’t stiffen up in this sea breeze.”
“Ha ha…” As soone joked, laughter erupted among the group.
They were also curious in their hearts about what new thods Ye Qiu would have to train them.
Ye Qiu quickly provided an answer, and everyone’s faces imdiately turned bitter.
Practice punching in the sea!
“You’re not going to practice your punches by the seaside, but you’ll enter the sea to practice them,” Ye Qiu spoke, and everyone’s mouths fell open.
No way, it was harsh enough to climb mountains bare-chested in the freezing cold, and now they were to be thrown into the water to practice their punches—wasn’t this practically a death sentence?
Many people were beating a retreat, but Lin Qiao’er’s stepping forward shad so of them.
If a girl was not afraid, and they shrank back, it would look very unmanly, even less courageous than a girl.
All eyes were on Lin Qiao’er.
She didn’t say much, instead, she took practical action to show the group she obeyed Ye Qiu’s training demands.
“Soldiers regard obedience to commands as their sacred duty.
I will definitely accomplish any of the instructor’s demands!”
Wei Zidong was the second to rush out, facing the oncoming waves, his figure seed sowhat diminutive.
But influenced by Lin Qiao’er and Wei Zidong, gradually, more and more people approached the waves and executed the Body Refinent Fist Ye Qiu had taught them in water more than a ter deep.
Ye Qiu watched silently.
Although the sea wind was cold and the water bone-chilling, what was being forged was not only the body but also the heart.
Without a fearless heart, nothing can be done well.
Few present could understand the deep intentions behind Ye Qiu’s actions.
Ha!
Hmph!
Roar!
With bursts of shouts to embolden themselves continuously erupting from the mouths of the thirty police officers, it seed as if everyone’s heart was unified.
Each person moved in sync, their fists striking the waves, bodies forming various postures—strange, yet each face determined and unyielding.
Ye Qiu nodded silently to himself.
These people had not disappointed him greatly.
“If they can persevere, a transformation, a rebirth, is within reach!”
