Chapter 19: Three Changes in the Body

  （0019）

  Other new recruits are also trying their best to curry favor with their instructors, vying for their guidance. Even if they're not as outstanding as Xia Xingchen, Song Haicheng and Ye Sifu, their desire to become stronger hasn't changed one bit. They're doing everything they can to get stronger. Generally speaking, as long as they're willing to work hard, the instructors will still impart their knowledge selflessly.

  Even an idiot knows that on the battlefield, one more person is one more source of power! Of course, this sentence can also be translated to: On the battlefield, one more person is just another substitute for death. When escaping with your life, you don't need to run the fastest, just faster than your companions is fine. Therefore, quickly raising the new recruits' strength to that of a corporal is absolutely beneficial.

  Only Xia Xingxiao is still his usual self, coming and going alone. He has no good impression of all the instructors, especially Li Duocha, whose impression is simply terrible. He doesn't want to build relationships with those instructors at all. Therefore, he ignores everything outside. Every day, except for eating and sleeping, there's basically nothing else to do.

  Of course, on a day without women, masturbation is indispensable. His masturbation behavior was still the same as before, as if no one was around, and he didn't care about anything. As a result, it made others feel embarrassed to secretly monitor him.

  Who knows when the scene cuts over, this rotten person will be masturbating again? Anyway, Yu Zilei absolutely won't secretly monitor this rotten person anymore. As for Chen Duo Hai, I estimate he doesn't have a weird habit of peeking at others masturbating either.

  This strange phenomenon, on the other hand, gave rise to a sense of mystery. That is, Chen Duo Hai and others had almost no way of getting any valuable information from Xia Xing Xiao's body. Unbeknownst to them, Xia Xing Xiao became the most mysterious one among all the new recruits.

  Few people know about Xia Xingxiao's outstanding performance on the test field, except for new recruits and instructors. Things in the world have always been this way, good things don't go out the door, bad things spread thousands of miles. Whether it's reporters or the internet, they've always paid more attention to negative news. Of course, Song Haicheng also deserves some credit for this.

  Song Haicheng cannot let the matter of that day spread far and wide. If it were to happen, he would probably not even have the face to go out. He had no choice but to use the power of the Song family to prohibit all rumors related to him. Now it seems, the effect is not bad.

  What Xia Xingxiu did was very interesting and spread quickly. However, when it comes to his achievements and good qualities, people are not as interested, and no one is willing to actively spread the word. Compared to the countless romance action films he has starred in, his stunning punch on the test field that sent someone flying is really nothing special.

  Others thought that Xia Xingxiao was arrogant and looked down on others, not even bothering to provoke him. Even the instructors saw Xia Xingxiao's attitude and didn't bother to interact with him. Of course, they also didn't dare to suppress Xia Xingxiao casually, when he became transparent. They weren't worried about being thrown away by Xia Xingxiao, but were considering the future.

  It seems that a genius like Xia Xingxiao, if nothing unexpected happens, will definitely soar to great heights in the future. Without saying anything else, the rank of Major General is definitely not something that can be escaped. Unless Xia Xingxiao dies on the battlefield. If they suppress Xia Xingxiao now and he rises to greatness later, their days will be difficult.

  Actually, Xia Xingxiao was just trying his best to think of a way to make himself appear less outstanding. If he continued to perform so well, it's really possible that he would be sent to the battlefield in the near future. For the sake of his own happy life, it's better to find a way to leave the army and go back to being an ordinary person, which is the safest option.

  That damned bead, however, was clearly beyond his control. He wanted to stop the progress of his Easy Muscle Technique cultivation, but it was simply impossible. On the contrary, as the progress of his Easy Muscle Technique cultivation deepened, Xia Xingxiao himself could feel the obvious changes in his body.

  The first change was that his body became lighter. Although he had not yet cultivated any flying techniques and did not understand any flying secrets, due to the continuous flow of true energy within him, it naturally offset a part of gravity. To the human body's senses, it naturally felt lighter. Moreover, as the true energy grew more majestic, he would continue to become even lighter.

  The foundation of flight is to cancel out gravity. Only after canceling out gravity can the practitioner fly up. Obviously, the lighter the body becomes, the smaller the effect of gravity on it, and the faster the flying speed will be. From this perspective, the thickness of true energy is crucial for flight techniques. The thicker the true energy, the more beneficial it is to improve flying speed.

  Moreover, a robust true energy is also beneficial for increasing the distance of flight. In the Muye military base, there are gravity balancing devices, and the gravity is only at normal levels, so the true energy consumed by flying techniques is not much, and the flying distance is relatively far.

  However, once outside the Myanmar military base, the gravity in other places is five times the normal level. Whether it can fly under the action of five times gravity is still unknown. Even if it can fly, the speed of flight, the distance of flight, and the flexibility of flight will be greatly restricted. And the true energy consumed by flying will also increase greatly.

  It's like Yesuf's flight speed, averaging around 35 meters per second. Once he leaves the Mino military base, it's a big discount. Under five times gravity, whether he can reach 5 meters per second is a problem. At that time, he basically won't be flying, but walking. Once he encounters a monster, it will be very dangerous and he won't even be able to run away.

  The second change is that the meridians have become heavier. Due to the large amount of true energy flowing back and forth in the meridians, the true energy contains rich energy, and the energy naturally has a pressing attribute, which makes people feel that the meridians are becoming heavier and heavier. It's as if every single meridian, no matter how fine it is, starts to become heavy. Of course, this is just a feeling. In fact, the meridians haven't really become much heavier.

  As the meridians became more refined, Xia Xingxiao's grasp of the meridians also became more skilled. With just a thought, a certain meridian would obediently start running. Although he couldn't control the flow of the Easy Tendon Meridian, he could control all the other meridians. Of course, not simultaneously, but in sequence. For cultivators, this was the initial step in manipulating true energy.

  No matter how complex and powerful the martial arts skills are, they are all performed through the meridians. The energy must be released from the Qihai, through the relevant meridians, and spread outside the body to effectively harm the target. Mastering the meridians is equivalent to mastering the foundation of performing martial arts skills. What's left is how to release the specific energy.

  The heavier the meridian, the more compressed the true energy is, the more it is a prerequisite for a powerful strike. The more true energy bursts out in an instant, the more energy stored inside, the greater the damage to the target. If one can instantly release all the energy stored within their body, the power would be the greatest. Even if it's an opponent many times stronger than oneself, they probably wouldn't be able to withstand it. However, that's not a display of martial arts skills, but rather self-destruction.

  The third change was that his dantian seemed to be truly taking shape.

  It's really not bad to say that the mysterious bead's ability is indeed extraordinary. The Yijin Jing, under its guidance, has a surprisingly effective cultivation effect. After more than ten days, Xia Xingxiao inadvertently discovered that his own Dantian had almost taken shape.

  According to the knowledge imparted by Guang Brain, the Qi Hai takes shape in its infancy, usually after one year. And for the Qi Hai to be fully formed, from gas to ***, it takes another three to five years. If the practitioner's innate talent is average, it may take ten years.

  Before that, the Qi Hai was foggy and irregular. The absorbed heavenly and earthly Yuan Qi were all stored in a gaseous state. After taking shape, the Qi Hai became lake-like. The absorbed heavenly and earthly Yuan Qi were all stored in a liquid manner.

  Now, his dantian is like a pure and serene lake. The heavenly and earthly yuanqi he absorbed have all been transformed into **, stored inside the dantian. After only a few days of cultivation, the dantian has basically taken shape. This kind of cultivation speed is simply terrifying.

  If things continue like this, it's not going to be possible to avoid shocking the world. Xia Xingxiao was worried that if he tested his strength again, his explosive power might exceed 1,000 kilograms.

  The difference in energy between gaseous and liquid true energy is huge, even a fool can see that. After repeated compression, the energy stored in the true energy has basically doubled. Therefore, it is entirely possible to exert a force of 1000 kilograms.

  1,000 kilograms, that's the standard for a third-class cultivator. If Yu Zhirui were here, he would definitely confer the rank of second-class soldier on him on the spot.

  No way! Absolutely can't be so perverted! Too perverted!

  We must think of a feasible way to slow down the speed of practicing Yijinjing.

  But those damn beads won't listen, it's obviously impossible to start from the beads, can only think of other ways.

  "Roar!"

  Suddenly, a low growl came through.

  Xia Xing Xiao subconsciously turned his head and looked in the direction of the loud roar.

  As a result, nothing to see, one look scared. Paralyzed, in the depths of his cave, a pig-like beast actually walked out! The pig-like beast walked out shaking and trembling, facing him and roaring. But seeing it baring its teeth and growling, it was clearly threatening Xia Xingxiao.

  Pig beast is also a space monster. However, it is the weakest of all space monsters and has almost no combat power. Without wings, it cannot fly and can only walk on the ground. Its only strong point is its massive body, which weighs around 30,000 to 40,000 kilograms. With its thick skin and flesh, it is also quite resistant to damage, making it a popular choice for novice cultivators to practice their skills.
