Chapter 052 Epic Kung Fu
Ryan's annoying look made Sam feel a little uncomfortable.
The uncle showed his signature simple smile, and without further explanation, he said directly: "I see that you have great talent in martial arts, so I plan to pass this secret method to you. Do you want to learn it?"
"study!"
Ryan listened, his eyes lit up, and he agreed immediately.
How could he refuse such a good thing that came right to his door?
Sam didn't say anything more. He took out a silver box that looked very exquisite and said solemnly, "This is the 'Secret Body Refining Method' passed down in my family. If you can learn it, I will give it to you."
I really gave it to you!
Ryan felt as if he had won the lottery. He took the box, was stunned for a moment, and then seemed to suddenly understand something, and shouted that he wanted to pay homage to his master.
"Master, I will accept your disciple..."
If you don't hold on to an olive branch thrown by such a great master, wouldn't that be stupid?
Sam quickly stopped him and said, "I'm just giving you a manual, but I don't plan to take you as my apprentice."
Originally, he was willing to accept such a talented disciple, but Ryan in front of him was absolutely not an option.
Not to mention the relationship with the eldest princess, there is the unclear situation with my own president...if something really happens, how will my generation be calculated?
He dare not be arrogant.
"ah?"
Suddenly the golden thigh that he was hugging slipped, and Ryan was stunned.
Could it be that I misunderstood?
But... since he has given me this secret method, why doesn't Uncle Sam accept me as his disciple?
Or maybe... this is a secret method that is so popular that it is given away as a gift?
Thinking of this, he instinctively wanted to open the silver box to see what was inside.
“Wait!”
Seeing this, Sam's face suddenly changed. He pressed on the silver box and hurriedly stopped him, saying, "This secret method is recorded in a special material. You can only read it once. Find a secluded place to read it carefully. Don't waste the opportunity..."
"A one-time secret book?"
Ryan was confused.
It's just a secret book, why make it so mysterious?
He suddenly felt that Uncle Sam was not serious and was trying to make fun of him.
The surprise in Ryan's eyes immediately turned into teasing, and he asked tentatively: "Uncle Sam, what grade of the technique you gave me?"
The skills are not like magic potions, which have accurate data to classify the quality and the boundaries are also vague.
However, in order to distinguish the quality of martial arts, people still like to give them a quality level such as black iron, silver, gold, and legendary.
Generally speaking, the common ones are called "black iron"; the rare ones are called "silver"; the valuable secret methods in the hands of masters and nobles are called "gold"; and the peerless skills that became famous because of the legendary demon hunters are called "legendary quality".
But Sam thought about it and said a grade he had never heard of before, and said: "This one... It is of 'epic quality'. Because, it was discovered by my ancestors in an ancient relic. It is a secret method of body refining that exists in the history and mythology of ancient civilizations."
"Epic quality?"
Hearing this statement that was beyond his knowledge, Ryan felt more and more like he was being tricked.
Originally, he felt the excitement of having a gold brick in his hand, but now, he felt as if he had obtained a "Tian Di Bank note" with a denomination beyond the normal range.
If the pie is too big, it won’t seem real.
But he was also very confused. Sam was such an honest person and didn't seem like the kind of person who would joke.
But then, the uncle said something very unreliable: "If you can master this secret method, you will have about twice the strength of a martial artist of the same level. If you are extremely talented, you may even have three or five times the strength... and even reach the realm of supernatural power of 'breaking all laws with force'!"
“…”
Ryan's eyelids twitched violently as he listened.
This guy, is he exaggerating too much?
The [Martial Artist] in the fighting sequence is originally an extraordinary profession that focuses on tempering strength. The strength is several times higher than this, and he can kill a few enemies with one punch?
Will he become a bald man in the later stage, and defeat anyone with one punch using his super strength...
After all, the other party had good intentions. Although he felt it was unreliable, Ryan reluctantly accepted the silver box: "Oh, then I'll take a look at it myself later when I'm free."
Sam smiled and nodded, as if he had given away a hot potato and finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Yeah."
It's really a stretch for an honest man like him to act.
After saying this, he strode forward, as if deliberately avoiding suspicion, and walked to the front of the team, "I'll go ahead and scout the way. You stay here to protect the lady."
“…”
Ryan was left with a stunned look on his face, disheveled in the wind.
…
Soon, the team found an open place to rest.
Ryan wanted to open the box, but Sam once again warned him to keep it secret. He then found a secluded corner away from everyone's eyes and opened the box that he thought was a "joke".
As he expected, there was a book inside, only a few dozen thin pages.
"Huh... there's no text?"
Ryan glanced at it and thought he was looking at a comic book like a simplified picture book, without even a name.
No, there is not even a single word to describe it.
The first page of this "secret method" is about a ferocious monster, who looks a bit like the evil image of Rakshasa in some temple murals in his previous life. He has a fierce face and two huge fangs on his mouth, which makes him look fierce no matter how you look at him. This monster is covered with gold paint and looks like a demon, giving people a strong visual impact of being indestructible and invincible.
And, the amazing thing is...
When Ryan saw the first page of paper, he felt like he couldn't take his eyes off it.
“What…is going on!”
The more you look at it, the more this flat painting turns into a 3D projection.
Unconsciously, he was watching the golden-bodied monster move in a strange rhythm. It seemed to be doing some strange ancient yoga movements, changing for thirty-six times, a total of thirty-six different movements.
The movements were very slow and so strange that it seemed as if human limbs were not restricted by joints, making one incredible twisted shape after another.
And when he looked closely, every time he moved, the muscles on the golden monster's body seemed to come alive, pulsating like a dragon. With every change of movement, his muscles seemed to be divided into silk threads, each one clearly displayed in front of Ryan.
Not only the movements, but also the organs and bones were clearly visible, just like an X-ray. The light blue fighting spirit was clearly visible, not flowing along the meridians, but flowing into the muscles.
Before I knew it, I had finished reading thirty-six pages.
In Ryan's mind, the thirty-six animated images seemed to be engraved in his brain and could not be erased.
It makes people want to practice it unconsciously.
But!
With a "click" sound!
Ryan imitated the first move, just like an old man suddenly doing the splits, and his waist was almost broken.
"This... the level of muscle control in this picture is terrifying!"
Coming back to his senses, Ryan instantly understood why he couldn't do that action.
To achieve that level, the toughness of the muscles and the ability of the nerves to recruit the muscles must reach a terrifying level.
For ordinary people, these actions... are simply anti-human!
…
Before Ryan had time to recall the contents in the classics, something strange happened again.
"Huh... this paper is actually burning?"
He was just about to flip through it again and read it again, but he never expected that the book in his hand would spontaneously catch fire and burn up completely in the blink of an eye.
This is a bit like the magic paper in the previous life, where the box is empty in the blink of an eye.
Ryan's eyelids jumped as he looked at it: "No wonder Uncle Sam asked me to look carefully. It turns out there is such a trick... Could it be some 'epic' body-building method? Otherwise, why is it so mysterious?"
However, although the books were burned, the contents of the patterns were indeed recorded.
After a quick thought, he instantly understood the principles of this body-refining technique .
"No wonder Sam said that practicing the technique was very difficult... So it's because of this!"
Ryan had to admit that once this skill was mastered, it could indeed give him extraordinary powers as Sam said.
But the key point is...it seems like ordinary people can't master this thing at all!
Through meditation, the extraordinary people absorb the elemental energy between heaven and earth and turn it into "genetic source power". These powers will gather in the meridians to form the Qi Sea. When you feel that the Qi Sea is "full and overflowing", it means that you can break through the second-level gene lock.
This is one of the hard conditions for extraordinary advancement.
Generally, extraordinary people are afraid of any waste that would affect their realm improvement, so they will be very careful to let the source power flow through the meridians and directly flow into the qi sea.
However, this exercise takes a different approach, taking the path of "using qi to nourish muscles".
The principle of this body-refining method is that the "genetic power" that people have worked so hard to train does not gather in the meridians, but passes through the muscles, nourishes the muscles, and then gathers in the qi sea.
What is the difference between the two...
It's like the water in a reservoir. When the gate is opened and flows into the river, the water level will rise significantly in an instant.
But you have to use another way, make it turn into rain, fall all over the earth, and then gather into the river.
Although the total amount of rainfall has not changed, the rainwater has passed through a large area of mud and moistened the earth, so some of it will be "lost", or even completely gone when it flows into the river.
Practicing this secret method will make the soil (muscles) more fertile, but the improvement of the extraordinary realm will be extremely slow, or even no progress at all!
Of course, all this is based on a very harsh premise!
That is, you have to get started first and learn the thirty-six weird movements that control every muscle fiber!
The human body has more than 600 muscles, and the number of muscle fibers exceeds 6 billion. The more you control, the more you are nourished by the source of power, and the greater your strength will be...
This is the threshold. Most people may not be able to get in even after ten or eight years!
…
"I have an 'intelligent brain'. I practice muscle control in my dreams. It's only a matter of time before I learn those thirty or sixty movements... But I finally meditated for a whole day to generate a little energy, and I used it to nourish my muscles. How can I advance?"
Ryan frowned, and suddenly he felt that this body-building technique was a bit useless.
Unless he has a large amount of genetic power to use this secret method, it is not practical at all.
With this minor success in the secret body-refining technique, theoretically he could possess strength several times greater than those of ordinary people at the same level. Combined with the amplification from the magic potion of [Corpse Stitcher], his strength would indeed be exaggerated to a certain degree.
But if the realm cannot be improved, and it stays at the rookie stage of [Awakener], what's the point of being invincible at the same level? Isn't it still a low-level extraordinary rookie?
That little bit of power increase is far less effective than the all-round enhancement brought by breaking through the genetic lock.
Ryan suddenly wanted to complain: "Uncle Sam gave me this skill. He thinks too highly of me..."
This is indeed a very powerful secret method, but... I don’t know where to start!
