Chapter 29 Changes
Sure enough, at the next moment, Qin Ziling exerted force and saw that his palms were covered with a thick layer of stratum corneum, just like wearing a pair of cowhide gloves.
At this time, even if he did not deliberately control it, a part of the Qi and blood surging with the strength would be sealed by the dense and tough membrane, and would surge inside, constantly being compressed and tempered, becoming more refined, and then transported to the Qi and blood system throughout the body with the flow of Qi and blood, constantly improving the quality of the Qi and blood system. The improvement of the overall quality of Qi and blood will better nourish and strengthen the tissues in all parts of the body.
"No wonder people in the membrane realm have stronger muscles and bones, and quicker reactions. It turns out that not only the membrane of the palms has changed, but the quality of the whole person's qi and blood has improved and changed, and then changes the person's physique every moment. Although Liu Xiaoqiang is very big and has a large amount of qi and blood, because he has not cultivated to the membrane realm, the quality of his qi and blood is one level . Therefore, even if he has a good foundation, he can only fight with martial artists at the cowhide level at most. He is still a long way behind against the iron skin level." Qin Ziling stopped patting the fine iron sandbag, and carefully felt the surging qi and blood in his body when it circulated to his palms. It was like water hitting a dam and had to turn around. He realized something.
"Hey, it actually worked!" Not far away, under the shade of a tree, Zuo Le was lying on a rattan chair with his eyes squinting. Looking relaxed and self-disciplined, a gleam of light flashed across his eyes, revealing a hint of surprise and astonishment.
"Did it really work?" Zheng Xinghan, who was responsible for supervising and guiding everyone's martial arts training, was the second person to discover Qin Ziling's breakthrough. His face was filled with surprise and astonishment.
Zheng Xinghan can be considered a real "old man" in the martial arts school . Over the past ten years, he has seen countless apprentices who came in full of ambition and confidence at the beginning, just like gamblers who enter the casino and always think that they will win before the bet even starts. They are already thinking about the life of being surrounded by beautiful women and driving luxury cars after winning the money.
But the reality is cruel. Generally speaking, people who go to the casino lose everything. Most people in this world are mediocre in talent. There are very few people like Nangong Yue who have broken through to the membrane level after only four months of practice.
So after repeating the same thing day after day, most people would leave the martial arts school in disgrace before a year has passed.
Some of these people have no patience and are only enthusiastic about doing things for a few minutes; some cannot endure hardship; and some cannot afford the tuition.
And those few who stayed would generally leave if they failed to make a breakthrough in the second year.
After all, practicing martial arts not only requires hard work, but is also very exhausting. Few people can persevere when they know there is not much hope.
It can be said that Zheng Xinghan has only met three people like Qin Ziling who have persisted for nearly three years in the martial arts gym in more than ten years, including Qin Ziling. In the end, those two were unable to wait for a miracle to happen , and finally could only admit that their qualifications were mediocre and left sadly.
Qin Ziling was the first apprentice he had ever seen who had persisted for nearly three years and actually made it out.
"Junior Brother Qin, it's not easy. Congratulations!" Zheng Xinghan quickly suppressed his surprise, walked up to Qin Ziling, patted him on the shoulder, and congratulated him with a smile.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Zheng. Yes, it's not easy!" Qin Ziling nodded, feeling a sense of emotion in his heart.
"After breaking through to the membrane realm , do you feel completely different?" Zheng Xinghan asked with a smile.
"Well, I feel the difference is indeed huge. Now I understand why the training of tendons and bones and the training of skin and membranes should be separated since they are both the realm of Qi and blood. In addition to skin, hair and blood, when a person cultivates Qi and blood to the skin and membrane, it also means that the quality of his Qi and blood has begun to change. Qi and blood are the foundation of a person. When Qi and blood change, all aspects of the body will naturally change as well." Qin Ziling nodded.
Upon hearing this, Zheng Xinghan stared at Qin Ziling in silence for a long time.
"Senior Brother, is there any problem?" Qin Ziling asked in confusion when he saw Zheng Xinghan in a daze.
"It's no problem. I just didn't expect that you could see so many essential problems right after your breakthrough. When I broke through, I just felt that my five senses became much sharper, and my strength increased dramatically. Those qualities of qi and blood you mentioned were only pointed out by Master Zuo later, and I slowly began to appreciate them." Zheng Xinghan replied.
Qin Ziling was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then he suddenly realized that because he had practiced the way of spirit and soul, his inner sense was extremely sharp, and he could clearly feel the subtle changes in the quality of his qi and blood when he broke through. Others did not have such a sharp inner sense, and it was impossible for them to have such a profound experience for a while.
"Really? Haha, I was just guessing!" After understanding it, Qin Ziling hurriedly explained.
"Haha, it seems that you scholars may not have talent in martial arts, but your brains think more than others!" Zheng Xinghan said with a smile without thinking much.
"What? Qin Ziling has made a breakthrough?" The movements of Zheng Xinghan and Qin Ziling attracted everyone's attention, and soon everyone knew about Qin Ziling's breakthrough. For a moment, it was like a stone that caused a thousand ripples, and the entire martial arts hall was boiling. Everyone had mixed feelings.
Some people were envious, some were jealous, and some saw hope in Qin Ziling, thinking that if even he could succeed at the last moment, they would surely be able to do so too.
The person with the most complicated emotions was Nangong Yue.
Having embarrassed Qin Ziling many times, Nangong Yue had originally thought that he would find time to teach Qin Ziling a lesson and get back his face after the recent turmoil. But now that Qin Ziling had suddenly broken through to the membrane realm, Nangong Yue's plan suddenly fell through.
He is a martial artist at the membrane level, and he knows very well the extent to which one's strength will be improved by training muscles and bones to reach the membrane level.
More than ten days ago, Qin Ziling was able to fight him on equal terms with his muscle and bone training level. Now that he is at the same level as him, if he challenges him to fight again, he will most likely be defeated, unless he can break through to the second layer of the membrane, the iron skin level, in the near future.
"I must work hard, otherwise I will be outdone by this poor boy and become a laughing stock!" Nangong Yue's eyes were gloomy and he was secretly mad in his heart.
Luo Yuke's mood was also complicated. The two of them had a friendship in the past, and she should be happy for Qin Ziling's breakthrough, but for some reason, she seemed unwilling to see his breakthrough.
"Congratulations, Ziling!"
"Congratulations, Junior Brother Qin!"
"Congratulations, congratulations, Senior Brother Qin!"
Everyone came forward to congratulate Qin Ziling. Some of the inner courtyard disciples still called him by his name, while others changed to calling him junior brother. Their attitudes were obviously much more cordial, but those apprentices who were training their muscles and bones all changed their addresses to calling him senior brother.
Only those who break through to the membrane realm can be considered Zuo Le's disciples. Their status in the martial arts school also changes drastically, and they are no longer comparable to those ordinary apprentices who just pay money to learn martial arts.
Those people come today and leave tomorrow, just like flowing water. After leaving, they basically become indistinguishable from the crowd, trying to make a living. If something happens, don't expect the martial arts school to support you.
But it is different after breaking through to the membrane realm. Not only is martial arts powerful and you don't have to worry about finding a good job, but you can also go out under the name of a martial arts school. You are considered a person with a backer. You have really established a foothold in the city and outside the city, and you don't need to live in fear.
