Chapter 088 Panel Update
Carrying a bottle of ointment and two large bags of freshly bought fruit, Chen Jue took a taxi back to the B&B.
I gave a bag of fruit to Uncle Yu and his friends as a thank you for their care over the past few days.
Uncle Yu and the others wanted to decline at first, but when they saw that Chen Jue bought two portions of the same fruit, which he definitely could not finish by himself, they accepted it with a smile and kept Chen Jue for dinner.
I didn't have porridge for dinner. The casserole seafood porridge at noon was warm and moist, but it was not enough to fill my stomach. In addition, Chen Jue was injured and needed to get energy and nutrition from food, so he ate white rice and home-cooked seafood dishes.
Stir-fried cauliflower, fried small yellow croaker, blanched shrimps, steamed red swimming crabs. To see her son Yu Yue off, the aunt even stewed a pressure cooker of old duck soup, saying it was a tonic before going out to sea, so that Yu Yue wouldn't be unable to withstand the cold and humidity on the sea when he got on the boat.
Chen Jue also had a full meal, but his appetite was not as good as before when he was well, and he only ate three bowls of white rice.
After drinking a few sips of the old duck soup, I felt warm in my stomach and my injuries were slowly recovering. I sat down and chatted with Uncle Yu and his family for a while before going back to my room to rest.
…
I sat in the living room of the villa and watched TV for a while, then went to the new group I just joined and sent a few messages about my experiences in developing hidden energy.
During the day, because Chen Jue demonstrated his skill of leaving handprints on dumbbell plates, the martial artists in the group became more and more active.
When Chen Jue came out to speak, a lot of people pricked up their ears, and emoticons such as "The boss is here", "Pass a cigarette to the boss", and "Be nice and ask for advice" started to appear one after another.
Chen Jue originally used the ancient books and materials in the group to make that jar of unknown ointment that was very beneficial for internal injuries. He felt that he should be grateful, so he shared a little about his method of practicing hidden power by relying on standing meditation and entering the water.
Of course, he didn't say that he dived into the water, he just said that he took advantage of the changes in the water flow to realize the hidden power.
There were several martial artists in their thirties and forties in the group who had been stuck at the peak of Ming Jin for many years and had made no progress in their martial arts. When they saw Chen Jue, a master of An Jin, come out to share his experience, they naturally watched with great interest.
As for whether he could learn Chen Jue's method and practice hidden power, Chen Jue didn't know.
He only teaches, not teaches.
Whether or not one can develop hidden power depends on the luck of these folk practitioners in the group.
…
After hanging out in the group for a while, Chen Jue went into the group folder and started reading the collection of boxing classics.
The idea of "stealing the secrets of heaven" in boxing training caught Chen Jue's attention. After reading the whole article with great interest, Chen Jue suddenly realized, "The reason why my ability to stand up improved so quickly when I was practicing on the table and on the boat before was that it was all a bit like stealing the secrets of heaven."
This "Stealing Heaven's Secrets" tells the story of some ancient Taoists who built huts in the mountains to practice martial arts and body movements every day on slippery mossy stone steps or steep cliffs. By facing danger, they can build up courage, improve eyesight, and increase attention and concentration.
Practicing in such an environment can greatly stimulate the improvement of standing practice and boxing skills. It is like exchanging your life and property for kung fu from God. This is why there is the saying of stealing the secrets of heaven.
Chen Jue had practiced on a table and a boat before, and had to be on guard against falling at any time. Although it was not as dangerous as practicing on a cliff, it was similar to "stealing the secrets of heaven".
As for practicing in a reservoir or even under the sea, it is equivalent to an upgraded version of "Stealing the Secrets of Heaven". Although you don't have to worry about falling to your death, you do need to pay attention to the changes in the water flow in order to feel the changes in the strength in your body.
If you can't hold your breath or are swept away by the undercurrent, you will drown or suffocate. Moreover, the visibility in the underwater environment is low, and it is pitch black at night, which is more difficult than practicing kung fu on the edge of a cliff.
This is why the levels of several boxing techniques and stance training of Chen Jue improved so quickly after he went into the water several times, all of which implied the principle of "stealing the secrets of heaven" in the boxing technique.
…
Before, Chen Jue practiced blindly behind closed doors by searching for information on the Internet. Although he relied on the attribute panel to make a brutal breakthrough all the way, he also practiced to the point where he had mastered the dark energy.
However, due to the lack of systematic learning, he was unable to explain some boxing terms and the underlying principles.
Now with the help of the group file, he suddenly felt much more enlightened.
After sitting and browsing on his phone for over an hour and taking the medicine prescribed for injuries, Chen Jue felt that dinner had settled in his stomach. He then took the ointment he had prepared in the afternoon and applied it, then put down his phone and began to practice the newly learned Wudang Golden Needle Finger Technique.
Around 9 o'clock in the evening, there was a sudden "ding" sound. Chen Jue knew that the attribute panel had been updated, so he put down the pebble in his hand for practicing finger skills and hurriedly looked at the attribute panel:
Name: Chen Jue
Age: 27
Health index: 72% (minor internal injuries)
Strength: 2.77 (1.93)
Agility: 2.16 (1.51)
Constitution: 3.01 (2.11)
Intelligence: 1.24 (0.74)
Free attribute points: 0.62
Skills: The rest are brief... [Wudang Golden Needle Finger Skill Lv0 (88/100)]
Current status: [One Qi Chaoyang Sheng] [Lü Zu Enlightenment] [Yi Jin Jian Gu] [Shaolin Bronze Man] [Gestapo] [Unknown Blockade]
The updated panel, just as Chen Jue had guessed before, began to display the peak values of various attributes and the maximum attributes that could be exerted at present. Even the health index had an additional note-like information after it.
[Minor internal injuries]: The capillaries of the internal organs are ruptured due to external impact, and there are minor soft tissue contusions, muscle strains, etc., which require timely rehabilitation treatment.
"Minor internal injuries are easy to understand!"
"The Golden Needle Finger Technique I just learned is also added to the skill list."
"But what the hell is this unknown blockade?"
"The martial arts I practiced before did not awaken to this state!" Chen Jue frowned and cast his eyes on this new state that appeared out of nowhere.
【Unknown Blockade】: A lock inside the body, which cannot be analyzed for the time being due to lack of valid information.
This made Chen Jue a little confused!
On this newly updated property panel, something unexpectedly appeared that even the panel couldn’t understand!
"A lock inside the body?"
"What the hell is this?"
"Is it something I was born with, or did it come about after the panel was awakened?" Chen Jue stared at this new state in a daze for a long time. His thoughts were racing, but he had no idea what to do with this [Unknown Blockade].
Even the attribute panel can't parse this thing. With Chen Jue's current intelligence of only 0.74, he certainly can't figure it out.
"It's just an injury, how come a lock suddenly appeared?"
"Is the attribute panel playing a little joke on me?"
