Chapter 33: 【030】Ming Jin Great Achievement

"Thank you to all the bosses for the rewards. If there are any brothers here who also practice martial arts, I’ll create a Douyin fan group later. You can join in and exchange ideas with each other. We’ll grow together,

I’ve been live streaming for quite a while today, so I’ll log off now. I’ll keep the push-ups I owe to the boss from Pingyi Jinren for next time."

Satisfied, Wang Longhu waved at the screen and swiftly ended the broadcast, leaving no room for the viewers in the live stream to react.

It’s already April now, and the weather is stuffy and hot. The Monkey King mask is truly stifling on the face. Wang Longhu couldn’t handle it anymore, and as soon as he ended the broadcast, he took it off and took a deep breath.

"Truly getting rich quick; the money earned from a day’s live streaming equals my past two months’ salary." Wang Longhu sighed and withdrew his wallet balance.

With this deposit, he wouldn’t have to worry about the cost of food and supplements for half a month.

Glancing at the weighted gear on his body, Wang Longhu didn’t choose to rest after the broadcast but walked out of the yard, starting to sprint madly on the mountain path.

The three skills I currently possess become increasingly tricky to gain proficiency as their levels increase, truly exchanging time for mastery.

And a level 1 skill is much easier to upgrade, especially with the Lightweight Skill effect. For Wang Longhu, it can be considered a substantial boost.

Mastering Lightweight Skill has become a very important task.

...

Late at night.

After taking a shower, Wang Longhu sat on the bed while drying his hair, scrolling through his Douyin account on his phone.

The old house at grandma’s doesn’t have a bathroom, so showering requires heating water and pouring it into a bucket, using a ladle to pour water over yourself.

In the past, Wang Longhu would definitely heat water for a shower, but now since training martial arts has improved his physique, he’s not afraid of the coldness of cold water and showers with it directly, highlighting his tough body.

Just a moment ago, Wang Longhu established his own fan group on Douyin, and immediately twelve people joined. Wang Longhu recognized the IDs; they were the ones who rewarded him during the morning’s broadcast.

Pingyi Jinren was also there, and seeing this tycoon’s proactive interest reassured Wang Longhu.

With such a big brother, the chance of making money is promising.

[Pingyi Jinren: Mr. Longhu, may I ask where you’re from?]

[Xiaomu: Checking the IP, it’s Zhejiang Province. Brother Long, how did you practice your brick-breaking technique? I’m 18 this year, is it too late to learn from you now?]

[Candy in Pocket: I used to think martial arts were fake, but after watching Brother Long’s demonstration today, I have to admit that martial arts indeed exist.]

...

Watching the few fans chat, Wang Longhu had nothing to do, so he joined them in idle conversation.

[Longhu: Yes, I’m from Zhejiang Province. I haven’t been practicing martial arts for very long, and if you’re aiming to strengthen your body through martial arts, it’s never too late to start learning at any age, honestly.]

[Pingyi Jinren: Mr. Longhu is being modest. If you can achieve Ming Jin in such a short time, given some years, wouldn’t you become a saint in the flesh?]

[Xiaomu: Brother Long, teach me! I want to learn martial arts.]

[Candy in Pocket: Brother Long, what kind of boxing do you practice? Could you recommend something?]

[Pingyi Jinren: Mr. Longhu, I’m also very curious about this.]

[Longhu: I practice Xingyi Boxing, one of the three major Internal Boxing styles. I haven’t dabbled in other forms. If you’re interested in learning, I can teach you the basic Pile Skill and the three-body stance of Xingyi Boxing next time I broadcast.]

Before the screen, hearing Wang Longhu’s explanation, Yu Yongyi couldn’t help but be surprised.

He had been fascinated by martial arts since childhood and had apprenticed with a Wing Chun martial artist from the south. Although the mentor didn’t teach him true martial arts, Yu Yongyi knew a lot about its ins and outs.

External Boxing focuses on developing tendons, bones, skin, palms, fingers, and strength.

It can make hands and arms tough as iron, breaking ribs and arms in combat is a breeze.

High-level External Boxing practitioners can even punch through a 20cm thick supporting beam, purely through skilled labor.

Internal Boxing, however, is more mysterious and involves cultivating Inner Qi. Styles include Cannon Fist and Beng Fist from Xingyi Boxing, the hammer of Tai Chi, and Eight Trigrams Palm’s whip hand.

But without training the physique, scientifically speaking, the destructive power of strikes isn’t as strong as External Boxing.

Just like today’s PK with Teng Qing, Yu Yongyi saw his palm once and recognized him as a skilled practitioner.

In his 50s, Yu Yongyi had never seen an Internal Boxing martial artist who could break bricks with punches. Hearing Wang Longhu say he only practiced Xingyi Boxing was shocking.

Watching live streamed Wang Longhu’s tender hands without callous marks showed no signs of physical conditioning.

External Boxing’s Ming Jin relies on great force; what does Internal Boxing’s Ming Jin rely on?

Can Internal Boxing really cultivate Inner Qi?

Heaps of doubts piled up in Yu Yongyi’s mind, making him instantly eager to ask.

But unbeknownst to Yu Yongyi, at the same moment, the lights suddenly went out in Wang Longhu’s room, plunging the entire space into darkness.

"What the heck? Power outage?"

Looking up at the weakly glowing filament of the old bulb, Wang Longhu was bewildered; power outages were a childhood recollection back in the early 2000s.

Since entering high school, Wang Longhu had never experienced a power outage.

This sudden blackout indeed caught him off guard.

Watching the screen display only 7% battery, for the first time, Wang Longhu felt anxious.

The worst part was being up in the mountain unable to determine whether it was a regional outage or house wiring burnout.

He walked to the balcony and amidst darkness gazed at the mountain woods outside, peering into the distant city lights with the night breeze blowing.

For some reason, Wang Longhu began feeling exceptionally clear-headed, as if his body was emerging from a muddy mire, gradually ascending, feeling lighter.

In an old house on the mountain, living alone, disconnected from outsiders.

In ancient times, this would be hidden sage.

Feeling inspired, Wang Longhu adopted the three-body stance and started practicing Beng Fist in the dark.

Pa! Pa! Pa!

Previously, his punches had sound, but achieving a crisp sound with Jing, Qi, Shen united would only happen with Ming Jin’s finest punch among dozens.

Now, every punch was followed by a loud crisp sound, resonant and vigorous.

A surge of energy rising and lowering stirred Wang Longhu, feeling his temples swelling eagerly, his body akin to an air-filled balloon, heavily inflated.

With skin tightness prickling, Wang Longhu reflexively punched the wooden pillar beside his balcony.

Pa!

The old wood burst with a punch, the surface cracked endlessly, even forming a web-like pattern of fissures.

Were there knowledgeable External Boxing martial artists witnessing this scene, they’d be astonished.

The power in Wang Longhu’s punch was equivalent to 20 years of craftsmanship.
