Chapter Thirty: Inner Strength!

  "Ah!"

  A surge of inexplicable warmth flowed from the flesh and blood, as if a hot spring was moistening every overworked muscle.

  "My god!"

  Chen Dasheng suddenly fell to the ground, panting heavily, his whole body feeling as if it had been soaked in warm water, too lazy to move even a little bit, feeling so comfortable that he just wanted to...

  Under the moistening of those warm streams, the numbness and soreness of his muscles gradually disappeared. It wasn't until about ten minutes later that Chen Dasheng slowly sat up.

  "Huh? This warm thing, could it be the inner energy that sister mentioned?" Feeling the changes in his body, Chen Dashi initially thought that the warm currents flowing inside him were just his imagination, but now that he had recovered, those warm currents still lingered, and he couldn't help but feel a wave of doubt.

  The so-called inner power is like a clear autumn moon, still and quiet, yet when moving, it's like a wild wind sweeping away leaves. Soft and boneless, it adapts to any situation, hard as metal and stone, impossible to chop with an axe, light as a feather, drifting on the breeze, heavy as Mount Tai, nothing can topple it. It responds to the enemy at will, and releases freely without intention.

  These days, Chen Dasheng has done his homework. A martial artist relies on tempering his body to tap into his potential. When the physical body is tempered to a certain level, it will automatically produce a kind of primal power. This power not only can cure diseases and strengthen the body but also help martial artists temper their bodies, making them even stronger.

  Under Chen Xiaoli's popularization of education, Chen Dasheng knew that the stage where a martial artist cultivates their physical body to produce internal energy is called a Martial Disciple. Like a Martial Master, it is divided into nine levels. After the ninth level of Martial Disciple, when the physical body produces the first thread of internal energy, one can be called a Martial Master!

  Chen Xiaoli said that a person needs an extremely long time to temper his body, at least several years, and at most several decades. During this period, he needs countless days and nights of diligent practice without interruption, tasting all kinds of hardships, in order to reach the 9th level of martial arts, stimulate the potential of the body, and produce internal energy, thus becoming a martial artist.

  Throughout the entire land of China, there are less than a hundred masters who have reached the realm of martial arts, which goes to show just how difficult it is to cultivate internal energy.

  Chen Dasheng felt the warm flow in his body, and indeed it was not much different from Chen Xiaoli's description. He was suddenly surprised that he had practiced a set of inexplicable fist techniques for just over ten days, how did he manage to cultivate internal energy?

  Could it be that he himself was the legendary martial arts genius, or was this mysterious fist technique just too powerful? A series of huge question marks appeared in Chen Daxiong's mind. After thinking about it, Chen Daxiong leaned more towards the former, not to flatter himself, but because he had inherited the bloodline of the ancient giant spirit tribe.

  "What? How did you grow so tall?"

  In his excitement, Chen Da Sheng suddenly sprang up from the ground and found that his giant body had grown even taller, previously less than four meters high, now it was over five meters, almost six meters.

  "It seems I've really broken through to the Martial Master realm!"

  Chen Daxing's mouth slightly curved, and with a thought, he dispersed the giant body, feeling an overwhelming surge of power throughout his entire being, which was at least more than double what it was before.

  At present, how strong the power is, to say a specific number, Chen Daxing himself can't confirm, only has a rough estimate, maybe after Chen Xiaoli returns from Beijing, he can give him a specific measurement.

  "What? There's actually so much internal energy?"

  After the giant's body dissipated, Chen Daxing surprisingly discovered that the internal energy that was originally wandering in that massive flesh had also been compressed along with the shrinking of his body.

  Chen Xiaoli left a few days ago and gave Chen Dasheng several introductory books on martial arts, which talked about some complex meridian acupoints of ancient medical science. However, with Chen Dasheng's extraordinary memory, he grasped the basics in just a few days.

  According to the tricks he learned in school, Chen Dashi closed his eyes, sat cross-legged on the ground, and meditated, driving those strands of internal energy through the meridians, converging towards the Dan Tian Qi Hai three inches below the abdomen.

  Unfortunately, Chen Dashi can no longer achieve introspection, and he can only feel a warm flow below his lower abdomen, like an arm that can move at will, and with just a thought, it can flow to various parts of the body, which is quite wonderful and hard to describe.

  "In that case, if I cultivate with the body of a giant in the future, won't the inner energy I cultivate be several times stronger than others?" Chen Dabai's eyes flashed with a hint of sharpness, and the corners of his mouth curled up high.

  Chen Dasheng's current body, transformed into a giant, is at least three to five times larger than that of an ordinary person. Doesn't that mean the internal energy cultivated should also be three to five times that of an ordinary martial artist? Moreover, as the giant body grows, this advantage will surely continue to increase.

  It was as if he had a body that was uniquely gifted, born for the martial way. Chen Daxiong's mood was greatly refreshed, and he stood up with a hearty laugh, startling the trees on Longquan Mountain into rustling sounds.

  ——

  "Hey, wake up!"

  In a daze, someone was knocking on the car window. Liu Hao woke up from his sleep and looked out of the window with sleepy eyes, where a naked man's face appeared outside the window.

  "Sheng Ge, you're back!" Recognizing Chen Dashi, Liu Hao suddenly gained energy and quickly opened the car door.

  When Liu Hao saw Chen Daxing dressed similarly to last time, he suddenly felt a bit confused and wondered if this guy had gone to fight in the wilderness. Except for a piece of tattered cloth wrapped around his waist to cover his shame, he was completely clean and tidy.

  "Pass me the clothes in the bag!" Chen Dasheng did not get on the bus, but stood at the door and ordered Liu Hao.

  It ended up like this, which Chen Dasheng didn't expect either. Once the giant body was displayed, even the largest clothes would be torn apart. This might also be a trouble caused by the giant body to Chen Dasheng, but compared to the powerful strength, this trouble seemed negligible.

  "Whoa!"

  Chen Dasheng suddenly tore off the tattered cloth wrapped around his waist, and Liu Hao's eyes almost popped out. If you didn't know better, you'd think Chen Dasheng had pulled out a baton.

  Liu Hao looked down at himself, then looked at Chen Da Sheng. He, who had always been full of confidence, suddenly felt a faint sense of sadness and inferiority in his heart.

  "Go!"

  Chen Dasheng quickly put on the clothes he had prepared earlier and sat in the front passenger seat.

  Liu Hao smacked his lips, "Sheng Ge, you're really too manly, your combat power should be very strong, right?"

  A pair of fiery eyes with a strong curiosity, Chen Daxing was stunned for a moment, and then understood the meaning of Liu Hao's words.

  Damn it, this stuff is too awesome!

  Chen Dàshèng immediately rolled his eyes, "Don't look at me with that kind of gaze, my orientation is very normal!"

  "Ah!" Liu Hao heard this and dryly laughed, hastily saying, "My orientation is very normal too!"

  "Hah!" Chen Dajun couldn't help but laugh and said, "Hurry up and drive already!"

  Liu Hao smiled and hastily started the car.

  ——

  The car was speeding on the highway, and after a while, Liu Hao curiously asked Chen Dajun, "Dajun, I heard you've been getting close to my sister recently!"

  "Huh?" Chen Dashi heard this and turned his head to glance at Liu Hao, saying "Who told you that?"

  Liu Hao heard this and smiled, "No one told me, it was my sister. Every day after work, when I go home, the most talked about person is you. My old man is even thinking of when to invite you to our house to play!"

  "Ah!" Chen Dashi nodded, thinking that this kid had sent someone to spy on him, but it turned out he was overthinking. He immediately said, "Your sister is our class's English teacher and has been tutoring me in English recently, so we're often together. Don't think too much about it!"

  "Hey, come on, men shouldn't be so shy!" Liu Hao said with a sly smile spreading across his face. "Let me tell you, Sheng Ge, my sister is already 26 or 27 years old, but she's never had a boyfriend since childhood!"

  As he spoke, Liu Hao turned his face and glanced at Chen Dajun with a pair of eyes full of smiles, the meaning contained in them could be seen even by a blind man.

  "Your sister has never had a boyfriend, how is that possible?" Chen Dashi was also surprised to hear this, Liu Xiaomin was already 26 or 27 years old and looked so beautiful, there must be many suitors, how could she not have had a single boyfriend? Wasn't Liu Hao just joking?

  Liu Hao smiled complacently, "Sheng Ge, you wouldn't believe it, but our family's discipline is strict. My parents kept a tight rein on my sister, and she's the type of strong-willed woman just like your sister. That's why she's still single to this day!"

  "What? You're not kidding, right? Your sister is already in her twenties and your parents aren't worried?" Chen Dashi still couldn't believe it.

  "Hurry up, why not hurry? We've met several times before and after, all of them are from big families, but my sister is so proud and looks down on everyone. The old couple is anxious to the point of scratching their heads!" Liu Hao chuckled and suddenly turned his face to Chen Dasheng, "How about it, Sheng Ge, are you interested in being my brother-in-law?"

  "Are you sick or something?" Chen Dabai had expected this kid to say that, and immediately rolled his eyes, "You said it yourself, your sister is arrogant and proud, who can tame her? I'm not interested in that!"

  "Hey, Brother Sheng, you may not be interested in being my brother-in-law, but I'm interested in being your younger brother-in-law!" Liu Hao suddenly slowed down the car. "Don't you think it's honorable to have a younger brother-in-law like me who is always at your beck and call? And what's wrong with my sister? Although she's a bit older, she's beautiful, has a good figure... let alone in Chengdu, she's definitely one of the top beauties. There are many rich guys who have set their sights on her, they could even form a fleet! As the saying goes, 'a woman is most valuable at 30', and my sister has never had a boyfriend before, never had a boyfriend! You understand what I mean..."

  "Stop, stop!" Chen Dabing hastily called out to interrupt Liu Hao's non-stop talking. "I'm telling you, Haoke, what did your sister do to you that you're so eager to marry her off?"
