Chapter 40: 【037】On the Cliff

After Wang Longhu finished feeding the dogs, the group of rich kids also walked out of the house one after another.

However, compared to before they went in, their gaze towards Wang Longhu had clearly become much more admiring at this moment.

"Bro, let’s settle it then. We’ll come and pick you up tonight, and we’ll eat together then," Zheng Dongliang greeted Wang Longhu.

"Isn’t that too much trouble?" Wang Longhu was somewhat resistant, as he had learned various skills recently, he needed to invest more time in practice, otherwise proficiency would increase slowly, and his level couldn’t be raised.

"It’s necessary, it’s settled then. Don’t be absent tonight," Zheng Dongliang insisted and quickly left the courtyard with his group of friends, giving Wang Longhu no chance to decline.

Watching the backs of the departing group, Wang Longhu couldn’t help but sigh, "Alright, let’s eat. A free dinner with them should be great; this group of rich kids should offer a decent meal."

Entering the kitchen, Wang Longhu took out the wild ginseng and sliced a few pieces to prepare a medicinal meal.

This recipe for the medicinal meal was taught by Master Chen before, and it was considered a great tonic, which ordinary people’s constitution couldn’t withstand.

Wang Longhu still remembered the first time he drank it, he couldn’t control his nosebleed bursting out, it was extremely invigorating.

Watching the bubbling thick soup in the iron pot, while waiting, Wang Longhu couldn’t help but recall the underground passage he discovered last night while rescuing someone.

If the holes beneath the back mountain lead to an underground passage, doesn’t that mean the entire mountain interior is interconnected?

Who secretly built such a facility back then, to the extent that no one has discovered it till now?

If not for his strong physique, Wang Longhu might never have discovered this secret in his lifetime, as the deep mountain and Old Lin are forbidden areas for ordinary people to explore.

But for Wang Longhu, as long as he mastered the Lightweight Skill, even the most complex terrain would be as easy to traverse as flat ground, accessible everywhere.

"In the future, it would be better to practice Lightweight Skill in the back mountain, that place is spacious." Wang Longhu thought to himself as he drank a bowl of soup in one gulp.

[Name: Wang Longhu]

[Strength: 1.26(+)]

[Constitution: 1.71(+)]

[Spirit: 0.94(+)]

[Skills: Basic Fitness Lv3 (3/300), Three Body Pose Lv3 (0/300), Xingyi Boxing Lv2 (150/200), Lightweight Skill Lv2 (0/200)]

[Potential Points: 0.11]

After quickly drinking all the medicinal meal essence in the pot, and gaining quite a few potential points, Wang Longhu, as usual, added them all to his constitution.

The level of constitution determines a person’s endurance; having higher endurance would allow Wang Longhu to extend his daily training time, thereby gaining more proficiency.

Without giving himself any chance to rest, after drinking the medicinal meal, Wang Longhu donned all his weighted gear, walked straight out the back door of the kitchen to the backyard, and plunged into the forest.

Since his grandmother passed away, Wang Longhu hadn’t returned to Changkeng’s old home for several years, let alone the back mountain; today was the first time he walked into the back mountain during the day.

Even at noon, with the bright sun above, facing the silent forest and the weed-covered grass, ordinary people delving deeper would still feel apprehensive.

Wang Longhu walked slowly step by step, adapting to the experience of carrying 90 jin of weight.

"Above Ming Jin is Dark Force, neither Master Chen nor the monk have told me what Dark Force is, I have to explore on my own, if I can practice Xingyi Boxing to level 3, maybe I can have some enlightenment." Wang Longhu thought.

Walking with the Three Body Pose, Wang Longhu continued to practice the Five Elements Fist and Twelve Forms Fist, trying to repeatedly refine the five forces and Twelve Forms, accelerating their integration and understanding.

Soon, while practicing boxing, Wang Longhu arrived at the mountain peak, with a cliff at his feet, and below was a steep slope, falling off would surely result in a miserable end.

Looking at Changkeng Reservoir at the foot of the mountain, and the other large mountain on the opposite side, Wang Longhu felt his vision broadened and his thoughts cleared; he gained new insights into martial arts practice.

Xingyi Boxing, Pile Skill as its basic, Pile Skill practices not only inner vitality but also the stability of the lower body, focusing on standing like a pine tree and sitting like a bell; martial artists must be immovable like a mountain.

Regardless of how others push, one should barely budge.

Walking near the edge of the cliff felt no different than standing on concrete ground, but why do people become unsteady and shaky on cliffs compared to flat ground?

The reason lies in panic; panic leads to weak legs, weak legs cause a loose lower body, and once the lower body slackens, during combat you are full of openings, all weaknesses.

Wang Longhu pondered and directly stepped on the edge of the cliff, with half his foot already suspended unstably, relying on the other half to support his leg.

After swaying a bit, Wang Longhu raised his other leg, standing in a one-legged stance like a solitary golden rooster, his body uncontrollably trembling and shaking.

Entering this dangerous state, Wang Longhu’s foot subconsciously arched, with five toes tightly clenching the ground, trying to maintain more stability with the earth.

"I see!" Wang Longhu suddenly chuckled with joy, instantly comprehending Master Chen’s walking posture he saw this morning.

While a master can lead a student to the door, cultivation must be personal; whether Master Chen overlooked this, or he wanted Wang Longhu to realize it himself, at this moment Wang Longhu had a newfound clarity.

He hurriedly lowered the raised leg, preparing to practice the Three Body Pose on the cliff.

But Wang Longhu still overestimated his balance; coupled with the 90 jin of weights, he couldn’t stabilize himself and directly fell off the cliff, plummeting towards the steep slope below.

Seeing he was about to land, Wang Longhu swiftly grabbed a tree branch as thick as a fist, swinging forcefully, his body managed to leap more than half a meter high, catching the cliff wall below, awkwardly climbing back to the top.

"That was close." Wang Longhu couldn’t help but sigh seeing the at least seven or eight meters height from the slope below.

If it was the version of himself when he just returned home, he would’ve gotten seriously hurt, but now that his skills have greatly improved, he could quickly turn danger into safety.

"However, practicing martial arts in such dangerous circumstances seems to speed up gaining proficiency." Looking at the Three Body Pose panel with an extra 1 point in proficiency, Wang Longhu, to prove his hypothesis, continued practicing the Three Body Pose unafraid of danger.

Standing at the edge of the cliff, he resembled a floating wild grass, slightly swaying in the wind, always on the verge of falling.

While practicing the Three Body Pose, Wang Longhu continuously adjusted his posture to maintain the most balanced position, increasing his own stability.

Soon, ten minutes, half an hour, an hour...
