Extraordinary Realm from Persuasion System

Chapter 62: Chapter 62: Sudden Enlightenment, the Variations of Yue Family’s Combo Punches!

Zhang Beixing’s feet landed on the wire, and the previously stable steel suddenly began to tremble.

Despite this, Zhang Beixing seemed oblivious, casually stepping his other foot onto the wire as well.

In an instant, the wire shook even more violently.

Seeing this, Lin Siqi’s mouth twitched; she had already predicted Zhang Beixing’s inevitable fall.

Thus, she muttered softly, ”This boy is such a handful,” and moved forward, preparing to catch Zhang Beixing.

However, despite the wire’s tremors, Zhang Beixing did not fall. He seemed welded to the wire. Though his body swayed with it, there was no sign of him falling! He was a completely different person from the Zhang Beixing who had previously struggled to cope whenever the wire trembled even slightly.

Zhang Beixing noticed this as well.

It must be the System, he thought, realizing he needed to improve his physical constitution to enhance his potential and break through his own limitations!

He turned his head towards Lin Siqi, confidently saying, ”Sister Qi, get out your phone and record this. My wire-walking fist practice will surely succeed this time!”

With those words, Zhang Beixing stretched his legs, extended his body, raised his arms, and, on the wobbly wire, formally began to perform the Yue Family’s Connected Punches.

Hearing his words, Lin Siqi was momentarily stunned. Then she quickly recovered, pulled out her phone, aimed it at Zhang Beixing, and pressed record.

「...」

After all his attributes reached 80, Zhang Beixing felt a surge of strength throughout his body. It was as if he had unblocked the governor and conception vessels; his whole being felt transparent and clear. The problems that had previously troubled him were instantly resolved under the System’s point allocation!

”HUFF, HUFF, HUFF—”

Standing on the wire, Zhang Beixing’s iron fists flew, creating a powerful gust.

He continued his Yue Family’s Connected Punches.

The more he punched, the more engrossed he became, and his movements grew larger.

At this moment, his heart held nothing but punching!

Driven by this conviction, he seemed to gain a new understanding of the Yue Family’s Connected Punches; snippets of Yue Fei’s life flashed through his mind.

In a trance, with each punch, Zhang Beixing felt as if he had returned to the Song Dynasty, to that tumultuous and chaotic era, witnessing scenes interwoven with his martial arts.

The Jurchens invaded, burning, pillaging, and slaughtering as they conquered the Central Plains. Like locusts, they left devastation in their wake; countless commoners were displaced, their families shattered, many losing their lives.

They continued southward, breaking into Jiangnan.

When the defending general Du Chong led the surrender, a 32-year-old defending unit commander stood out. He led his own troops, retreated to Yixing, and began a prolonged struggle against the Jin army.

It was none other than Yue Fei, courtesy name Pengju, later hailed by posterity as a national hero!

Under his command, the Yue Family Army reclaimed Jiankang and recaptured the six commanderies of Xiangyang. Later, he led an expedition to the north, capturing Shang Prefecture and Guo Prefecture, among other territories. They successively recaptured Zheng Prefecture and Luoyang. At Yancheng and Yingchang, they delivered a crushing defeat to the Jin army, advancing to Zhuxian Town.

During this period, the daily martial arts practiced by all soldiers in the Yue Family Army, the techniques used for combat and killing, were the Yue Family’s Connected Punches!

”Created to suit warfare...”

”Kill, and kill again!”

Standing on the wire, Zhang Beixing’s gaze was vacant as he murmured softly.

Naturally, he couldn’t truly be seeing scenes from the Song Dynasty; it was all just a series of fantastical images in his subconscious. With each punch, a new scene flashed by, growing clearer and more vivid, almost as if real.

But the movements of his hands and feet never paused for an instant.

In fact, his Yue Family’s Connected Punches grew increasingly fierce and powerful!

If someone knowledgeable were here and saw Zhang Beixing’s state, they would exclaim in surprise. Because Zhang Beixing, in such a perilous and difficult situation, had entered a special state of clarity. In the traditional martial arts community, this state is commonly known as ”self-forgetfulness,” scientifically understood as being completely focused and undistracted. That Zhang Beixing could achieve this was clearly related to his incredibly high Spiritual Power. It was similar to how he had learned the Yue Family’s Connected Punches—figuring them out on his own after watching them only twice—also due to his Spiritual Power, which represented his comprehension.

Zhang Beixing remained in this state of self-forgetfulness for a long time.

During this period, his punching movements grew even larger.

His entire body, standing on the wire, wobbled precariously.

But every time, just as he was about to lose balance and fall, he would subconsciously allocate some Ability Points to his Constitution and Power.

All attributes +1!

He was stimulating his potential to prevent himself from falling.

Of course, during normal Martial Arts Training on the wire, Zhang Beixing definitely couldn’t have managed this feat, no matter how many points he added.

But the issue was, this wasn’t a normal day. Zhang Beixing was in a state of self-forgetfulness. His Mental Attribute was already high, a full 105 points, granting him strong comprehension. Now, he was also in a state akin to sudden enlightenment, like an overclocked computer.

Furthermore, his Yue Family’s Connected Punches had been enhanced to +10. His understanding of the boxing technique had deepened, allowing him to know more clearly how to fight under any circumstance, which greatly assisted his punching on the wire.

Propelled by these various factors, he was finally able to stabilize his stance on the wire.

「...」

And so, Zhang Beixing kept adding points to himself until his Power and Constitution finally increased to 85.

When the Ability Points he had previously accumulated dwindled to just 1, Zhang Beixing snapped out of his state of self-forgetfulness.

His eyes regained their brightness, becoming spirited as if he had received some immense nourishment.

His Essence, Qi, and Spirit felt completely different compared to before!

”Awesome!”

”So awesome!”

”So this is the real Yue Family’s Connected Punches?”

Zhang Beixing exclaimed, appreciating even more the benefits of a high Mental Attribute.

He also realized that he had just experienced a rare state of profound Martial Arts Training.

No wonder it was something all Martial Artists coveted; the benefits it brought were truly significant!

The first and most prominent change was in Zhang Beixing’s mindset.

After this session of Martial Arts Training in a state of self-forgetfulness, his mindset had undergone some subtle, indescribable changes.

However, because he had only just emerged from that state, Zhang Beixing couldn’t yet pinpoint exactly how his mindset had transformed.

He only knew that this change was entirely beneficial to him, with no downsides.

Secondly, it was his boxing technique!

”WHOOSH—”

He threw a few punches, the force continuous and relentless. The fierce wind from his fists scattered to both sides, making the nearby leaves rustle loudly.

While Zhang Beixing’s high Power of 85 certainly played a role in this, it was more so the advancement in his Yue Family’s Connected Punches, brought about by the period of self-forgetfulness, that allowed him to achieve a breakthrough and enhance his abilities once more!

His punches grew faster, his steps steadier.

Zhang Beixing seemed to generate a whirlwind around him, as if nature itself sought to compete with him.

”WHOOSH—”

A strong gust of wind blew from outside the forest, rushing towards Zhang Beixing’s face and scattering his damp hair. This gust shook the branches; viewed from above, the canopy resembled a green ocean, and with a continuous rustling, leaves rained down.

Zhang Beixing stood on the violently swaying wire, his legs as stable as boulders.

Binding, pushing, pinning, pulling, grabbing.

His movements constantly changed. Each punch was robust and forceful, generating gusts of wind.

Unknowingly, a few falling leaves were drawn in by the wind from his punches, drifting languidly before him.

Zhang Beixing paid them no heed and continued punching.

He stepped forward with his right foot, hovering slightly above the wire. His palms changed into a ”camel-back” shape, his left hand guarded his chest, and his right arm crossed in front, resembling a coiled, venomous snake.

Then, ”SWISH—”

With a sound of tearing air, Zhang Beixing suddenly struck, unleashing the 103rd move of the Yue Family’s Connected Punches. His fist, like a heavy hammer, landed squarely on a leaf falling towards him.

”PUFF!”

The leaf was soft. The instant of contact, it enveloped Zhang Beixing’s knuckles. He registered the sensation transmitted back through his hand, as if he could clearly discern every vein in the leaf.

Then, he suddenly exerted force.

”CRACK!”

An almost inaudible crisp sound came from the leaf.

Zhang Beixing’s move ended precisely then; he slowly retracted his fist and transitioned to another.

And that leaf, with nothing to brace it, had been shattered by his punch, its fragments scattering in the wind.

At this point, Zhang Beixing’s mastery of the Yue Family’s Connected Punches had finally reached the stage of Integration!
