Chapter 190: Chapter 137: Superman Zhang Beixing? Incredible Martial Arts Evolution!_6

Even with his Spirit attribute at a high 105, he could play back events in slow motion in his mind.

As a result, he found that, apart from the commotion and his own movements being different, almost everything Elder Chen did was exactly the same.

This was quite bizarre.

Consider this: how long had Zhang Beixing been practicing martial arts? Three months! He had only been exposed to the Northern Sect Eight Pieces of Brocade for just over a month.

And now, his practice was almost on par with Elder Chen’s. In terms of the commotion and movements, he even performed better than Elder Chen. Wasn’t this utter nonsense?

Hearing Zhang Beixing say this, Elder Chen’s face stiffened.

PFFT!

Liu Yi, who had been watching the spectacle, couldn’t hold back and spat out the tea he had just sipped.

As a friend of Elder Chen, Liu Yi could clearly see that Elder Chen had pulled out all the stops with the Northern Sect Eight Pieces of Brocade he had just performed. He just wanted to show off in front of Zhang Beixing!

Yet, in Zhang Beixing’s eyes, what Elder Chen considered his ultimate display made him suspect that Elder Chen was intentionally holding back.

Wasn’t this an indirect way of saying Elder Chen’s practice wasn’t up to par? Zhang Beixing, you really have some nerve! Liu Yi thought, finding Zhang Beixing’s move quite audacious.

He was about to apologize but realized that no one in the room was paying any attention to him. So, Liu Yi simply let it go. He just followed their gaze, focusing on Zhang Beixing and Elder Chen.

He saw Elder Chen, after hearing Zhang Beixing’s words, pause, his expression stiffening.

However, he quickly adjusted, realizing that Zhang Beixing was not very familiar with the Northern Sect Eight Pieces of Brocade.

Ignorance is no crime. Elder Chen didn’t blame him.

Instead, he treated Zhang Beixing as an ignorant junior and offered guidance. ”Holding back? Why would you say that? Do you feel that my performance was not good?”

”Hehe, to be frank, the techniques I performed are all strictly according to the procedures in our Chen Family’s Secret Manual for the Northern Sect Eight Pieces of Brocade.”

”Whether it’s circulating Qi or resonating blood, every step is precise, Nephew Zhang. What skill did I conceal? Isn’t this how you practice?”

To this, Zhang Beixing shook his head. ”Not quite.”

He looked at Elder Chen with confusion. ”When I practice the Northern Sect Eight Pieces of Brocade, besides resonating blood, I also resonate Qi and resonate Hidden Force to achieve a Three-in-One Resonance.”

”Ah?”

Hearing Zhang Beixing’s words, now it was Elder Chen’s turn to be dumbfounded.

He looked at Zhang Beixing blankly, feeling like his mind couldn’t process it.

Resonate Qi, resonate blood, resonate Hidden Force? What is he talking about? Are we even on the same wavelength?

”Brother Zhang, are you trying to train yourself to death?” Beside them, Chen Fenghua couldn’t help but exclaim in shock, his face etched with disbelief.

He was currently practicing Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound, so he knew all too well how difficult it was.

Just the act of mobilizing the Qi and Blood within his body, making them vibrate and become active, nearly cost Chen Fenghua half his life.

Now Zhang Beixing, when practicing the Northern Sect Eight Pieces of Brocade, not only resonates blood but also resonates Qi, and even resonates Hidden Force? Hidden Force can be resonated too? It’s a true miracle he’s still alive!

Hearing his words, Zhang Beixing shook his head. ”No, it’s just... I trained normally, and as I trained, it naturally became like this. I was wondering, you guys only resonate blood and nothing else—does that really work?”

Hearing Zhang Beixing’s words, everyone’s lips twitched as they all had the same thought: Nonsense! Of course, it works! If it didn’t work, why would we practice it? And to think he says we *only* resonate blood and nothing else! The very idea is absurd! Does he really think everyone is like him, able to come up with such a bizarre cultivation method and emerge unscathed? With his training intensity, anyone else would have been dead several times over! This kid’s survival is a miracle in itself!

At this, everyone looked at Zhang Beixing with peculiar expressions.

If it was that simple, you should have said so earlier! Why did I have to spend so much time figuring out the Three-in-One Resonance?! Zhang Beixing thought. Seeing their strange expressions, he couldn’t help but feel a surge of panic.

The feeling was akin to a stingy friend suddenly treating you to drinks, only to insist you gorge on green vegetables. Or like an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor taking your pulse, his brow furrowing deeper and deeper until he actually starts flipping through medical texts!

”So, uh, practicing the Northern Sect Eight Pieces of Brocade this way... it won’t cause me any serious problems, right? My body is okay, isn’t it?” Zhang Beixing asked, freaking out.

Hearing his question, Elder Chen shook his head. ”I don’t know. I’ve never heard of this training method. Let alone resonating Qi, I’ve never even heard of purely resonating Hidden Force. No matter how I think about it, it doesn’t make sense; it doesn’t conform to human physiology. I truly can’t imagine how you managed it, let alone resonating all three simultaneously. This is simply... against all human reason!”

”So if you ask me, I’m at a loss too. Nephew Zhang, have you felt any discomfort in your body recently?”

Zhang Beixing pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized something, his complexion instantly turning pale. ”That... no, my body is fine, my Qi and Blood are flourishing. If I really had to point out any issues after training... it’s that the Hidden Force within me is growing. Every time I practice, it increases by a tiny fraction... HOLY SHIT! Chen Taishan, I’m not going to explode and die, am I?!” Zhang Beixing asked in horror.

Driven by caution, he even opened the System’s Personal Panel to check his status.

Apart from ’Fatigue,’ everything else appeared to be positive buffs, at least in his eyes.

This left Zhang Beixing utterly puzzled.

Could it be that these buffs aren’t what I think they are? he wondered.

Little did he know that upon hearing his words, Elder Chen and Liu Yi were instantly rooted to the spot, utterly flabbergasted!

What in the world? He can increase Hidden Force? How is that possible?!

One must understand, Hidden Force is fundamentally something that cannot be enhanced! Therefore, however strong one’s Hidden Force is upon first mastering it, that’s how strong it will remain.

In other words, the strength of Hidden Force is largely related to one’s innate physical constitution; it’s fixed and cannot be changed. It’s impossible for it to advance even a fraction, nor can it regress.

Moreover, whether Hidden Force is strong or weak doesn’t really make a big difference. No matter how strong it is, you couldn’t kill a tiger or lion with a single punch. And no matter how weak, it would still possess the requisite power.

Thus, after mastering Hidden Force, no one paid any mind to its strength. There were no criteria or standards to judge it by either, because everyone’s Hidden Force was more or less the same, falling within a similar range with no significant distinctions. Simply mastering it was sufficient.

But now! To hear Zhang Beixing claim that his unique Three-in-One Resonance Eight Pieces of Brocade could actually increase Hidden Force?

What kind of damn trick is this? Limitless growth of Hidden Force??? If he keeps training like this...

The mere thought sent shivers down everyone’s spines. They stared at Zhang Beixing, their faces masks of horror.

”Unthinkable! Truly unthinkable!”
