Capítulo 1503: Chapter 1537: I Only Didn’t Say It Because I Was Afraid You’d Blush

“I say, Lin, have you been secretly watching me practice martial arts this whole time?” Nangong Bing turned around, wiped the fine sweat off her forehead, and proudly said.

“Hehe… Observing, just observing. It’s not like peeping, no need to make it sound so unpleasant~”

Lin Zifeng shrugged his shoulders, touched his nose, and walked over with a bitter smile.

“In the Eastern Cultivator’s martial arts system, it’s divided into: Fist Generating Vital Energy, Vital Energy Expelling, Vital Energy Body Separation, Vital Energy Condensation, Qi Dao Realm, a total of five realms. Truly entering the cultivator’s domain is with the Vital Energy Expelling Realm. And you have just advanced from Fist Generating Vital Energy to Expelling, which is merely qualified. So practicing martial arts shouldn’t be rushed. The more impetuous it appears, the more impetuous one’s temperament, and the slower the progress in cultivation. You should know this.”

“How far must one expel objects in Expelling Realm to be truly mastered?”

Nangong Bing asked curiously, and since she had such a good teacher, why not ask more questions?

“There’s no clear concept. Like someone using their left hand to write; it’s awkward and unfamiliar at first. But over time, as time accumulates, it naturally becomes as habitual and skilled as using the right hand. In the Northern Song, there was a very skilled archer, Chen Yaozi.

One day, he practiced archery at home, shot ten arrows and hit eight or nine, the onlookers applauded, saying his archery skills were outstanding. Even Chen Yaozi himself felt proud and arrogant, but among the crowd, an old man was unimpressed, shaking his head.

The guy was a bit annoyed on the spot, and very unhappily asked, “Do you know archery? How do you think I shot?”

The old man acted all superior and scoffing, then took out a copper coin, placed it on a bottle, and dropped oil through the coin hole, every drop was precise. Finally, when asked why he was so skilled, guess what the old man said?”

Lin Zifeng looked at her.

“I… I read this story in middle school. It’s about skill coming from practice, right?” Nangong Bing hesitated and blinked, explaining.

“Indeed. This story not only teaches us that skill comes from practice, but it’s also related to cultivation. The range in Expelling Realm doesn’t have a concept. Some fierce individuals stay in Expelling Realm their whole lives but their combat power is astonishing, relying solely on thick vital energy to power weapons, killing enemies a kilometer away in an instant! The key is the great demand for thick vital energy.”

“So, isn’t the ability to expel weapons related to the vital energy within?”

“It’s at least partially related, and also about skill from practice. Expelling is one thing, but accuracy in hitting targets is another concept.”

“When you reach the point where just a thought and slight activation can hit the target, that’s the essence of skill and your Expelling Great Mahayana Realm.”

Damn it. Saying so much, even I’ve confused myself.

After saying all this, Lin Zifeng murmured inwardly.

“No wonder I can’t precisely hit targets when expelling with vital energy, and the object slides down halfway, I lack in vital energy.” Nangong Bing analyzed her shortcomings one by one.

No wonder, before the Star Ring fully awakens its power, it can’t compare to the Magic Bracelet.

The Magic Bracelet can constantly flood Lin Zifeng with primordial energy, compensating for the loss of vital energy in his body.

While Nangong Bing’s Star Ring is no different from an ordinary ring, only when Lin Zifeng encounters great difficulties can it display its true power, greatly enhancing Nangong Bing’s cultivation. Ultimately, both the Magic Bracelet and Star Ring seem to be helping Lin Zifeng…

The reason Lin Zifeng taught her Ancient Martial Tai Chi was mainly for Lady Buddha’s sake.

Every time Lady Buddha transforms into a blood-red figure, it’s fatal to her body, perhaps one day because of the Star Ring she’ll suddenly die, and if that happens, Lin Zifeng’s life is over…

She can only be allowed to slowly practice martial arts, and one day when she breaks through to Sub-Saint Realm, she won’t need the Star Ring anymore.

“Then how can one increase vital energy?” This is what Nangong Bing is most concerned about now.

During practice, she noticeably felt her vital energy was lacking in controlling the expelling, like running out of physical strength, so exhausted that there was no strength left to throw punches.

“Uh… this thing…”

This really troubled Lin Zifeng, vital energy is indeed hard to practice. It’s the most crucial element.

Like physical strength, when there’s enough, naturally there’s power.

Without strength, how can one fight the enemy head-on?

“What? Is vital energy very hard to practice?”

Nangong Bing urgently sought an immediate solution.

“Uh~ it is true.” Lin Zifeng didn’t know how to answer her. Because Lin Zifeng had never actually practiced how to absorb vital energy.

With the Magic Bracelet, every step was carried by its continuous supply of vital energy, making his journey quite smooth and complacent. He didn’t think vital energy was hard to practice.

But for those cultivators without divine artifacts, breathing exercises to cultivate vital energy is as hard as ****…

“Even you don’t know how to quickly increase vital energy?” Nangong Bing blinked her bright eyes.

These days her vital energy was slowly practiced bit by bit.

So she knew as the realm elevated, it would become harder to practice vital energy.

At merely the Expelling Realm, she took over a month just to reach the early stage, and that’s under the premise of the Star Ring altering her physique…

“…”

Lin Zifeng touched his nose, blushing, speechless…

“I got it.” Nangong Bing smiled without speaking, then adjusted her breath and prepared to leave the courtyard.

“Hey, what do you know!”

Lin Zifeng was puzzled, what does she know?

“The Magic Bracelet, isn’t it about relying on the Magic Bracelet?”

“Then why do you make it sound so mysterious…”

“I was afraid you’d blush and didn’t say it earlier. Now that it’s out, aren’t you blushing?” Nangong Bing straightened her prominent bosom, looking at Lin Zifeng’s green face, proudly said, “I’m giving you face. You keep asking, trying to provoke me…”

“…I swear!”

Lin Zifeng was so angry he blushed, his neck felt like it was burning.

Damn it. Isn’t just having the Magic Bracelet progressing faster than others, don’t hit someone so hard…
