Chapter 99: Primordial Energy Warrior
Chapter 99: Primordial Energy Warrior
Seeing the small line of text on the panel, Jiang Cheng let out a sigh of relief.
In fact, more than half an hour ago, he had already confirmed that the secret martial art he had copied was genuine.
However, at that time, the note after the Shattered Jade Technique was not "Upper Volume" but "Beginner's Chapter."
Shi Yan's voice echoed, tinged with a hint of fatigue.
"Little Cheng, this is the Upper Volume of the Shattered Jade Technique, and it is the true core of the Shattered Jade Fist. Have you ever heard a saying in the martial arts academy? It goes, 'Practicing martial arts without cultivating inner strength is a waste of time.'"
"I have."
Jiang Cheng nodded.
This was something that Zhao Xiangyu often said.
Especially when he was doing Standing Posture Training.
The term "inner strength" referred to inner cultivation techniques, which taught one how to sense and absorb primordial energy into the body, then gradually strengthen the primordial energy, and finally, how to break through each acupoint. The last part is the most important and critical."
Shi Yan's expression was extremely serious.
"Each acupoint on the human body is crucial. Accidentally touching one can result in death or severe injury, let alone using primordial energy to break through. If the force is too strong or used recklessly, the consequences can be unimaginable. But with the cultivation technique, it's like standing on the shoulders of giants, avoiding many detours."
"Indeed, thank you, Brother Shi."
Jiang Cheng expressed his gratitude solemnly.
Although he didn't know if he would need this knowledge, having it was definitely better than not having it.
"Hehe, no need to be so polite. This was something we agreed upon beforehand."
Shi Yan smiled and shook his head, feeling a deep sense of loss inside.
Such an important thing, a treasure passed down through generations in the Shi family, was sold for just ten thousand yuan.
But he had no choice.
"Little Cheng, although the Shattered Jade Technique can help you absorb primordial energy, most people start by practicing the Shattered Jade Fist. They strengthen their bodies and sense a trace of primordial energy before they begin to cultivate the Shattered Jade Technique."
"I see."
Jiang Cheng immediately recalled what Shi Yan had said earlier.
The Shattered Jade Technique required meditation and cultivation, calming the mind and sensing the existence of primordial energy in the universe.
Most of the content discussed what to do after absorbing primordial energy.
"Yes, this step is the hardest. Those with innate talent can absorb primordial energy just by sitting there. As for us ordinary people, or the majority, we start by practicing the Shattered Jade Fist. After repeated practice, if one cannot sense primordial energy within three months, it means they lack talent and are not suited for secret martial arts."
After saying this, Shi Yan sighed and took out another small booklet.
"This is the Upper Volume of the Shattered Jade Fist. It contains many human body techniques. Copying it is not easy. Keeping it with me serves no purpose, so I'll lend it to you for a while. Just practice the techniques according to the images in the book."
"I'll take a look."
Jiang Cheng took it and saw a human body diagram with many meridians and acupoints marked on it.
Flipping through, he saw various techniques and movements.
At first glance, they seemed similar to the Crane Style Fist he learned at the martial arts academy.
But upon closer inspection, he noticed the energy flow paths and small notes explaining how to use force.
After flipping through for a while, he reached the last page.
Jiang Cheng carefully finished reading, and the small line of text on the panel changed.
【Shattered Jade Fist (Upper Volume): Beginner's Chapter (0/3000)】
"The experience bar is three times that of the Crane Style Fist, which means that with three times the time spent on the Crane Style Fist, I can enter the Beginner's Chapter?"
Jiang Cheng's heart leaped with joy.
150 hours didn't seem like too much.
After entering the Beginner's Chapter, could he absorb the Universal Primordial Force? With this thought, he turned to Shi Yan beside him and voiced his question.
"That's right," Shi Yan replied with a bitter smile. "Even if you've only entered the Beginner's Chapter, you can continue practicing the fist technique while cultivating the inner art. Once you open the first acupoint, you'll be considered a First Rank Primordial Force Warrior."
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng's worries dissipated.
If absorbing the Primordial Force into the body was the criterion for entering the Beginner's Chapter, then entering the chapter would definitely allow him to absorb the Primordial Force as well.
What seemed like an absurd notion to others could become his reality.
However, the term "Primordial Force Warrior" that the other party had just mentioned left him a little perplexed.
"A Primordial Force Warrior is a term used for those who cultivate Secret Martial Arts and utilize the Primordial Force. Even those with spiritual aptitude who cultivate Secret Martial Arts are called Primordial Force Warriors. As for those who solely cultivate the mental path, they are known as Mind Masters, but in terms of combat power classification, they are the same, ranging from First Rank to Tenth Rank."
"There's a set of standards for determining the ranks. For Primordial Force Warriors who absorb the Primordial Force to enhance their physical bodies, to reach the First Rank, their maximum punch power must be 200 kilograms, and they should be able to sprint at 10 meters per second. For Second Rank Primordial Force Warriors, the maximum punch power is 300 kilograms, and the speed is 15 meters per second. Third Rank Primordial Force Warriors possess a maximum punch power of 500 kilograms and can sprint at 20 meters per second."
"This set of standards is simpler for those with spiritual aptitude or Mind Masters. Their physical bodies might be slightly weaker, so as long as they can use their abilities to cause the same level of destruction, they are considered to have passed."
"I see," Jiang Cheng said, enlightened.
The maximum punch power of an average person is around 80 kilograms, and with special training, it can reach 100 kilograms.
As for 100-meter sprint times, they typically range from 13 to 15 seconds. If one can run it in under 12 seconds, they are considered to have great talent. As for breaking the 10-second barrier, there have been a few who achieved it in the past, but no one has managed to do so in the last decade.
A First Rank Primordial Force Warrior, in the world Jiang Cheng came from, would undoubtedly be among the top humans.
As for those who cultivate immortality and secret arts, they might have slightly weaker physical qualities, but they would possess various means, even including long-range attacks. Their threat level would by no means be inferior to those who strengthen their bodies and follow the martial path.
"Perhaps, in addition to the physical body path, I can also explore the energy and mental paths. The energy path requires spiritual aptitude, so if I don't have it, I might not be able to pursue it. However, the Mind Master path is something I can definitely try."
Jiang Cheng thought to himself.
As the saying goes, the more skills you have, the better. Having more ways to protect yourself is like having more lives.
Shi Yan remained silent.
He knew what Jiang Cheng was thinking because he had been through the same experience. When he first heard his father introduce these concepts, he had felt a surge of excitement, believing that he would effortlessly enter the Beginner's Chapter and be an unparalleled genius among millions. However, reality had slapped him in the face, and he had no choice but to accept that he was an ordinary person.
"Brother Shi," Jiang Cheng suddenly spoke up. "If I cultivate the Shattered Jade Technique to the Perfect Realm, what rank could I achieve?"
