Chapter 26: Worshiping Incense To Join The Ranks
Martial Arts School, Chen Wujun sat on the ground resting, Senior Brother Li held a teacup, drinking tea while explaining some common knowledge to him.
“Master should have told you that Old Technique has the division between External Martial Arts and Internal Martial Arts.”
“Besides that, there are also the levels of Body Tempering, Qi Refining, and Transformation Realm, but this is just to judge what level your Kung Fu has reached and how to polish it, it cannot judge strength.”
“Body Tempering is hammering tendons, bones, skin, and membranes, building up strength, moves are fierce, Force is Manifest Force.”
“While Qi Refining is cultivating the internal organs through Breathing, Force is Hidden Force, can injure people through the body, and with strong internal organs, endurance and recovery will also be greatly strengthened.”
“Body Tempering and Qi Refining are just different levels, but there is not much difference in strength.”
“Speaking of which, everyone’s Physical Quality is different, some people have 400-500 jin of strength per punch, some are gifted with 700-800 jin per punch, the former reaches Qi Refining level, the latter is just Body Tempering, the former being beaten to death by the latter is common.”
Chen Wujun thought about it, and it was indeed the case.
“But small strength beating big strength to death is not impossible either. In the end, the division of Manifest Force, Hidden Force, and Transforming Force is also just to judge what level your Kung Fu has reached.”
“Kung Fu is ultimately fought out, not practiced out!”
“Specifically who is strong and who is weak, only after fighting will you know. The winner is strong, the loser is weak.”
“What about Transformation Realm?” Chen Wujun asked further.
“You’ve heard the idiom ‘already reached Transformation Realm’? It means a person’s skill has become divine!” Senior Brother Li said slowly.
“Transformation Realm means your Kung Fu has become divine, Force is harmonious and penetrating, a feather cannot be added, a fly cannot land, control over Self is exquisite.”
Chen Wujun listened with yearning.
“But Transformation Realm… is extremely difficult. Therefore, many people practicing Old Technique reach Qi Refining and cannot break through to Transformation Realm, so they switch to New Technique.”
“And New Technique… absorbs Magnetic Field Crystal through Meditation, perceives and reinforces own Magnetic Field, reconstructs own Biological Magnetic Field, reinforces Bioelectricity, finally feeds back to Self, letting all body functions be elevated.”
“New Technique is different from ours, but also divided into several levels: Perception, Initial Construction, Resonance, Harmony, and Reconstruction, corresponding to Reinforced Reconstruction of own Magnetic Field 0%-25%, 25%-40%, 40%-65%, 65%-90%, and 90%-99% respectively.”
“Then New Technique is more detailed, Old Technique has only three levels, while New Technique has five.” Chen Wujun said.
“Not really, actually Old Technique has four.” Senior Brother Li smiled, he had asked this question before too.
“You first Entering Force, then Body Tempering, then Qi Refining, if you have talent and Opportunity, you can break through to Transforming Force.”
“Entering Force is not a level, it is a threshold. After Entering Force, whole body Force is unified, has root and tip, can be issued and retracted freely.”
“Most people practice for a year and still cannot Entering Force, let alone Body Tempering. It’s just that we all treat Entering Force as the foundation of learning Old Technique, so few people mention it.”
“Starting from Standing Meditation, those with better talent can Entering Force in half a year. Those with worse talent take a year to Entering Force.” Senior Brother Li spoke eloquently, then looked toward the direction where the previous few disciples were doing Standing Meditation, but it was empty there long ago, those learners hadn’t come for a long time.
“Those learners you saw before couldn’t even Entering Force. Only Entering Force is the true entry to Martial Arts Practice.”
“Then was Senior Brother Li fooling them before?” Chen Wujun suddenly realized, no wonder Senior Brother Li hardly managed those learners at that time.
He guessed in his heart that he should now be at the Body Tempering level, daily Standing Meditation and Punching Practice were all hammering tendons, bones, skin, and membranes.
Back then, he didn’t even feel the threshold of Entering Force and had crossed it.
He immediately asked: “Senior Brother Li, when did I Entering Force, it feels like nothing changed.”
He thought Senior Brother Li would praise him, he just wanted to hear that.
Sure enough, as soon as he asked, Senior Brother Li didn’t want to speak.
After a long time, he said: “One month, you Entering Force, that is, so-called Kung Fu possession.”
……
Chen Wujun came out of the Martial Arts School, still thinking about New Technique.
According to Senior Brother Li, New Technique entry is Induction Stage, at this time already starting to sense, reinforce, and reconstruct own Magnetic Field, Physical Quality will also gradually increase, usually all aspects improve by 50%.
After Reinforced Reconstruction reaches 25%, it is Initial Construction Stage, at this stage body’s Bioelectricity will gradually integrate, Physical Quality and Explosive Power will also become stronger and stronger, Physical Quality almost doubles.
Until Reinforced Reconstruction 40%, it is Resonance Stage, body’s Bioelectricity fully integrates, New Technique Martial Artist’s nervous system also starts optimizing, reactions become faster and faster, five senses also become extremely sharp, at this time Physical Quality is several times that of a normal person.
And not only Physical Quality is several times that of ordinary people, even five senses and reactions are extremely sharp.
New Technique Martial Artists who reach this step are already very difficult to deal with.
Reinforced Reconstruction to 65%, it is Harmony Stage, New Technique Martial Artist’s magnetic sensitivity fully awakens, certain parts of the body start Mutation, New Technique Martial Artists at this stage are likely extremely strong in some aspect.
And Reinforced Reconstruction to 90%, it is Reconstruction critical point, New Technique Martial Artists at this period actually don’t have much change.
Until Reinforced Reconstruction 100%, at this time New Technique Martial Artist will transform and become Magnetic Field powerhouse.
At this level, they are Masters in the entire Federation.
Chen Wujun was considering the strength of Ji Xiang, A Hao, Hua Zai Rong, and Cun Bao, likely Initial Construction Stage or Resonance Stage.
Reaching Initial Construction Stage, Physical Quality is already extremely strong.
He had been thinking these two days about making quick money and long-term Industry.
Making quick money is easy, find a place to rob a sum, but Industry he is completely clueless, he doesn’t understand these at all.
But he still had to think, after all, only with Industry is there a long-term way to make money.
Sister Sha Jiu has some Industry under her, handed to a few people to manage.
The few people through these Industries can get quite a bit of money every month, and can also support a group of underlings.
Chen Wujun felt that if one of these few died, that would be good.
He actually had no malice toward these few.
He just felt… these few were blocking his upward path.
……
“Jun Zai!”
“A Jun!”
People from Jin Di Finance all looked up to greet.
Chen Wujun knocked on the door, then entered Sister Sha Jiu’s Office.
“Senior Sister!”
“Heard you caused Trouble last night?” Sister Sha Jiu looked up and asked.
“Two rotten guys, Li Dong’s. But I wasn’t at fault in this matter!” Chen Wujun briefly explained the matter, and said grudgingly: “They still owe me 5600.”
Sister Sha Jiu laughed loudly after hearing: “Just realized you’re so stingy.”
“It’s not about being stingy, what is owed to me must be paid back!” Chen Wujun said.
Although these were his best pants from childhood to now, but this wasn’t an issue of stinginess.
Sister Sha Jiu smiled, thought for a moment and said: “Jun Zai, these two are actually small matters, but they stepped on Wen Long’s Face, Wen Long definitely won’t let it go, otherwise tomorrow someone will step on him.”
“For people like us, many times Face is more important than life!”
Chen Wujun nodded: “I understand.”
For people like them, it relies on one Strength, one reputation.
If Face is lost, everyone comes to step on, even if you can fight, it’s overwhelming.
And even if you can fight, can all your underlings fight?
If all underlings are beaten down, no one to use, left with just yourself, what can you do?
“Although you follow me, hang under my banner, but haven’t paid homage or registered.”
“If you have any matter, He Tu cannot step out.”
“So this time I plan to have you pay homage and register, from then on any matters are He Tu’s matters.”
Although Chen Wujun worked for Sister Sha Jiu, he hadn’t paid homage at He Tu’s incense hall.
For any matter, only Sister Sha Jiu could step out herself, even if it came to fighting, other He Tu people had no excuse to intervene.
Therefore Sister Sha Jiu planned to use this Opportunity to have Chen Wujun register, so from then on matters would be He Tu’s matters.
Can pull others in, why fight life and death alone?
Not just for this matter, but also for the future.
After all, their branch are all Extremely Bold.
……
He Tu incense hall’s location is right behind Tian Hou Temple, usually not many people here.
But at this time incense hall doors and windows tightly closed, inside Guan Di statue in the center, front candles flickering continuously.
“From today on, Chen Wujun is He Tu member”
“Enter Life and Death book!”
Chen Wujun held a pen and signed his name on the roster, entering this “Life and Death book” meant registered.
After Chen Wujun signed, he poured tea for Sister Sha Jiu: “Sister Sha Jiu!”
Only Ji Xiang, Kai Lun and very few others knew Chen Wujun was Sister Sha Jiu’s Junior Brother.
Outside, Chen Wujun all called “Sister Sha Jiu.”
……
Eight o’clock in the evening, exactly when the Dance Hall has guests, the door was kicked open with a “bang”.
A man wearing a Shirt, wearing Glasses, looking somewhat scholarly, but tall with a body full of Muscle walked in.
Right behind him, seven or eight underlings surged in, each with a body of Muscle, whole body exuding a sturdy aura.
In the middle, two “seriously injured” with Crutches, legs and hands all with Splint, heads also wrapped in a layer of Gauze.
“Brother Wen Long, bringing so many people to support the scene?” Kai Lun smiled and went up to greet, while signaling underlings to turn the music down a bit.
“Support the scene? How dare I support Sister Sha Jiu’s venue! Not afraid of being beaten to death?” Wen Long sneered.
“Yesterday my underlings came to support your scene, two arms and one leg broken, let Sister Sha Jiu come out and give me an explanation, hand over the kid who hit people!”
“Wen Long, voice so loud, you come here to scare my guests?”
A woman’s voice came from the corner.
Wen Long heard this voice, his brows twitched, followed the voice and looked over, saw Sister Sha Jiu walking out from the corner.
Beside Sister Sha Jiu, followed a neat and sharp youth with extremely spirited eyes.
Seeing this youth, Brother Hua and Brother Hu immediately got excited, speaking with a whistle: “Boss, it’s him!”
