Chapter 3 Cultivation

  The sky was dimly lit, with a thin layer of morning mist. A teenager in his early teens was constantly practicing basic movements, punching and retracting, kicking and retracting, and adjusting the force of his muscles throughout the process.

  "Tongtong, come and have breakfast." Her mother Luo Xiaojun's voice came over.

  This year's twelve-year-old Yang Tong, due to martial arts practice and nutrition, looks like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old, sturdy and robust.

  Yang Tong walked in and saw that his father and mother were already seated at the dinner table.

  "Dad, Mom." Yang Tong called out and sat down.

  "Don't you have school today?" Yang Tong asked in a rough voice.

  "No need, in two days it's the elementary school graduation exam, so the school is on holiday." Yang Tong replied.

  "Oh, I see, looks like you're quite confident." Yang Tong said again.

  "That's right, I'm not afraid of exams, I now possess the power of a third-level martial artist." Yang Tong said proudly.

  "Let's eat, after eating, follow me to the yard." Yang Tong said and silently started eating.

  Yang Tong was more familiar with this slightly old-fashioned father figure, lowering his head to eat.

  After dinner, his mother cleared the bowls and chopsticks and went away. Yang Tong brought his son to the courtyard and said, "Come on, give me a punch with all your might."

  Yang Tong nodded, sank his waist and buttocks, and threw out a standard bow-step punch, perfectly combining leg strength, waist strength, and arm strength.

  Yang Tong stretched out one hand and easily caught his son's punch. Standing still on the spot, he nodded and said: "Not bad, you haven't been lazy in school for these few years, your foundation is very good, and your whole body strength is used very harmoniously."

  Yang Tong took a punch because he had been mentally prepared beforehand, so he didn't suffer much of an impact. After all, the gap between a third-level apprentice and a ninth-level apprentice was still quite large.

  "Now that your foundation is solid, I can also pass on this family's traditional 'Feng Lang Fist' to you." Yang Tong made a special fist gesture and performed the entire set of boxing techniques in one breath. Suddenly, the fist energy howled with the wind, and the shadow of the fists was everywhere, making Yang Tong dizzy and disoriented.

  After this set of boxing techniques that made Yang Tong's eyes dizzy was finished.

  Yang Tong said, "Whether it's punching or kicking, both require the coordination of waist and legs, pulling force in one line, using full-body strength. This kind of exertion is called standard exertion, which is what any third-level martial artist must achieve. However, this set of 'Feng Lang Quan' teaches you how to surpass standard exertion, making your fist strength even stronger, exceeding human limits. But the existence of boxing is not about routines, it's about teaching you how to use force, don't be stuck in the boxing itself. After learning this set of boxing, you must carefully experience the method of using force within it, then reach its limit, and surpass that limit, creating your own martial way."

  Yang Tong was stunned for a moment, and thought to himself, "So the purpose of fist techniques is to teach people how to use their strength effectively."

  One morning, relying on Yang Tong's extraordinary intelligence, he learned the entire set of fist techniques in just one short morning.

  "This set of 'Feng Lang Quan' is a boxing technique that can amplify standard strength by three times. You want to fully grasp it, it's not that easy. I've practiced for twenty years and just barely reached the pinnacle of this boxing technique." Yang Tong said, taking out a strange machine from the ring on his left hand.

  The ring is a spatial storage ring, human spiritual technology has long reached the level of splitting spatial storage. This kind of spatial storage item has been popular for a long time, but its price is still very expensive and not affordable for ordinary families. Yang Tong had always wanted one, unfortunately, his dad said he wouldn't buy him one until he reached apprentice level 5.

  "This is a dynamometer, which can test the strength of up to ten times that of a ninth-grade martial artist. You use all your strength to throw a punch, record your data, adjust the program, and then use it to test how strong you can exert your strength." Yang Tong said, nodding at Yang Tong.

  Yang Tong personally tried it out, punching with a force of 300 kilograms, which was his standard strength. With the Wind Wolf Fist's explosive power, he punched again, and the data showed 390 kilograms. An increase of 1.3 times, this data made Yang Tong very satisfied, and he said: "Not bad, it actually reached 1.3 times, when I first tested it back then, it was only 1.2 times."

  Yang Tong has a relatively intuitive understanding of the value of "Feng Lang Quan". Ordinary 9th-level apprentice martial artists have a standard power explosion of around 1000 kg, and his father has already fully mastered this fist technique, with an explosive force exceeding three times that. Even if Yang Tong were to learn the triple amplification, his strength would suddenly soar to match the standard power of an ordinary 8th-level apprentice martial artist.

  The entire "Feng Lang Quan" has only twelve moves, which must be used in a continuous manner to finally burst out three times the power. If you want to achieve three times the standard power with just one move, you can only do so after fully mastering and understanding the technique of exerting force, at which point any punch or kick can reach three times the power, and there is no need to be bound by the original moves, allowing for the creation of even more powerful techniques.

  Yang Tong practiced "Feng Lang Quan" repeatedly, familiarizing himself with the way of releasing power in this boxing technique. Unconsciously, a whole morning passed, and he didn't stop until his mother came to call him for lunch.

  Yang Tong was somewhat excited, originally human muscle strength under this boxing method can be doubled, which is the previous Yang Tong difficult to imagine.

  According to Yang Tong's understanding, human physical strength can be enhanced through special frequency vibrations, and the fist method is to embody this vibration frequency, allowing everyone to learn and master it.

  This made Yang Tong think of the internal family fist on Earth, maybe it's the same principle?

  To cultivate this boxing technique, what is needed is enlightenment. In the process of practicing boxing, one should feel and grasp the essence of the vibration frequency conveyed by this boxing technique.

  After lunch, Yang Tong was once again immersed in it.

  Yang Tong and Luo Xiaojuan leaned against each other, watching their son's shadow practicing boxing in the courtyard.

  "Looks like your son has a special passion and talent for boxing!" Luo Xiaojuan said.

  "Hmm, I've already seen it, our son is actually a genius. He's only been in contact with the Wind Wolf Fist for less than a day and he's already mastered it so smoothly, and has even begun to grasp its subtleties. It took me three whole years to reach this level back then, but he's done it in just half a day." Yang Tong said excitedly.

  Luo Xiaojuan was also a ninth-level martial artist, but after giving birth to her son, she rarely went out to hunt and kill barbaric beasts. She could certainly understand Yang Tong's mood at this moment. "Maybe our son can become an Awakened one! In that case, we can move to Luoxing City to settle down and won't have to live in the county town with a sense of unease."

  Yang Tong's face sank, and he said: "Recently, the brothers of the Mercenary Guild have been saying that the barbarians in the depths of the wilderness seem to be making a move, and it won't be long before the new barbarian attack arrives. Recently, fewer and fewer warriors have gone out, and every household is preparing for battle."

  Luo Xiaojuan heard this and couldn't help but shudder, her face pale as she said: "I hope we can get through this ordeal safely this time."
