Chapter 411 The Miraculous Effect of the Barbarian Physical Exercise Technique
With his gradual understanding of the Warriors, he realized that only when a Warrior reached the Sky Martial Arts Realm or the Masters’ level, where all his True Qi turned into the Spiritual Energy, could he live to 120 years old or so. For a Great Master or a Real Martial Arts pract.i.tioner, he could live to about 150 years old, but when a Warrior reached the G.o.d Martial Arts Realm, he would have a dramatic change, with his lifespan reaching up to 300 years old.
If he remembered correctly, Hengli once said that the Ying Queen would be 93 next year. If Holman was more than ten years older than the Queen, this meant that he was already more than 110 years old this year at least, right?
The old man was more than 110 years old, but he looked like a man of 60 to 70, who was energetic and did not show any signs of getting old. What did this mean?
This meant that Holman was probably an excellent pract.i.tioner who had reached the Great Masters’ level, so Ding Ning was shocked.
A Great Master! He was like an excellent pract.i.tioner who had reached the Real Martial Arts Realm. It seemed that he had belittled the world in the past. There were not only super excellent pract.i.tioners in the East, but also excellent pract.i.tioners in the West.
After he casually promised Uncle Zhang that he would get an autograph for him and asked him to leave, Ding Ning was lost in thought and became vigilant in mind. Previously, he thought that the strongest pract.i.tioner in the world was the excellent pract.i.tioner who had reached the peak of the Real Martial Arts Realm, so Xuan Ji said in the past that when he reached the Sky Martial Arts Realm, he could use the Flowing Light recklessly.
But now it seemed that he had been too narrow-minded and underestimated the world heroes.
Xiahou Weiyang was a living G.o.d of Martial Arts, equivalent to one who had reached the G.o.d Martial Arts Realm.
Since two of the G.o.ds of Martial Arts who visited the Four Holy Gates died and two of them were disabled, this proved the great power of the Four Holy Gates. Probably, the Gates also had excellent pract.i.tioners from the G.o.d Martial Arts Realm or even secluded strong pract.i.tioners from the Holy Martial Arts Realm.
Ding Ning became anxious because of this, strongly hoping to improve his strength. Although he had many cards in his hand, if he met the irresistible strong, those cards would not change his fate that he was bound to die.
More seriously, he had just killed Chao Xiong of the Holy Medical Family. No one knew the unexpected ways that these great ancient sects used to pursue murderers. Once he was found, he might have no ability to defend himself and be forcibly killed by then.
So, he was going to spare some time to check out the stuff in Chao Xiong’s Storage Ring today, but he dropped this idea now.
There were prohibitions on the ring. If he was found by the Holy Medical Family when he went to remove the prohibitions, it would be a problem.
So, Ding Ning unhesitatingly stowed Chao Xiong’s Storage Ring into the Mermaid s.p.a.ce, lest that the Holy Medical Family should look for him through the ring.
As a disciple of the outside branch of the Holy Medical Family, Chao Xiong had no right to leave his Soul Lamp in the sect. If he died outside, the sect would have to spend a long time finding him.
But the Storage Ring was different. In the era of the serious shortage of the Spiritual Aura and practicing resources, even the Holy Medical Family could not make the ring that easily, so the Storage Ring was also something quite precious in the Holy Medical Family.
Chao Xiong’s coming to the earthly world was to collect the treasured medical materials, and the Storage Ring was lent to him to more conveniently store the treasured medical materials. On it, there were prohibitions that the excellent pract.i.tioners of the Holy Medical Family had set. Only Chao Xiong had been temporarily granted the right to rescind the prohibitions.
If others apart from Chao Xiong tried to rescind or decode the prohibitions, they would be perceived by the excellent pract.i.tioners of the Holy Medical Family instantly. By using the trace of perception, they could find Ding Ning. The lucky truth was that his unintentional caution had saved his life.
Ding Ning put away the Storage Ring, felt a little relieved, and thought about the methods of rapidly improving his strength, striving to have the self-protection ability in the shortest time.
He had just reached the realm for a short time, and his Dantian was the infinite meson Dantian. Although he could use the Spiritual Crystals to help him practice, it was impossible for him to upgrade his realm in a short time.
Since he could not upgrade his realm, he had to work out ways to improve his strength. The Charm was something good, but that was an object which was not born with him, and he could only use it as an auxiliary tool. If he met a really strong fighter, that would not be so useful. In normal times, he had better prepare more charms for unexpected situations.
Another method was making matrices. Unfortunately, he only knew the methods of setting matrices, but he did not know their principles, and he could only set basic matrices, which did not work so well on excellent pract.i.tioners.
Therefore, he decided to study the principles of matrices these days, hoping to fully understand these matrices, so that he would be able to learn the more powerful matrices on the next level.
At the same time, he would be practicing the Barbarian Physical Exercise Technique to further increase his physical strength. This could also be regarded as a way to increase his strength.
“Brother, what are you thinking about? Why are you so lost in thought?”
He was unaware that Luoxue had come downstairs. She watched him and asked curiously as she had breakfast.
“Oh, nothing, just eat. How about going to the restaurant after breakfast?”
Ding Ning stopped thinking, gave a small smile, and chatted with Luoxue while eating.
“Uncle Zhang, prepare the car. I will be going out with Luoxue in a while.”
Ding Ning burped, put down his chopsticks, and called Uncle Zhang who was standing far away like a statue.
“Yes, young master.”
Uncle Zhang made a standard n.o.ble bow and turned around to arrange it.
“Oh, Camel, why is it you? Where is Xiahou? Did he go to the company with my elder sister?”
When Ding Ning was about to get into the car with Luoxue, he found that their driver was not Xiahou but his subordinate Camel, so he asked casually.
“No, young master, Big Brother…”
Camel said a little shyly, “Big Brother is not well, and now he is still in bed.”
“What’s wrong? Is he ill?”
Ding Ning was shocked and stopped. “Xiahou is a master of national arts. Basically, he does not fear summer or winter, so how could he get sick?”
Camel scratched his head and said with distress, “I don’t know, either. Since he came back at midnight last night, he had been locking himself up in the practice room like mad. Just now when Uncle Zhang went to call him, he lay on the ground and could not move at all, asking me to come here.”
“Let me go and take a look.”
Ding Ning looked serious. The Barbarian Physical Exercise Technique was what he told Xiahou, but he himself had never practiced it. If it had side effects, it would be troublesome.
In the lounge of the security guards in the secondary building of the villa, Ding Ning smelled something disgusting as he entered the room and saw Xiahou, who was embarra.s.sed lying in bed like a pile of mud.
“What’s wrong?”
Ding Ning ignored the bad smell, quickly walked over to take Xiahou’s pule, frowned, and was quite confused. “Xiahou’s condition is normal, and he is not sick at all.”
“Young master, I am fine. I just did too much exercise and lost my strength.”
Xiahou was struggling to speak, signaled Camel and others to leave, and then said with a wry smile, “I never expected that the physique-exercising boxing you told me is so tough. I lost strength while practicing the first movements.”
“You lost strength while practicing the first movements?”
Ding Ning was shocked with his eyes wide opened.
But Xiahou said seriously, “Young master, the physique-exercising effect of this boxing is far beyond my imagination…”
With Xiahou’s remarks, Ding Ning realized that when Xiahou came back last night, he couldn’t wait to start practicing the Barbarian Physical Exercise Technique.
But he never thought that he had to mobilize all parts of his body to launch a punch which looked extremely simple and plain. Only when every part of his skin, every piece of his flesh, every one of his bones, and even every one of his cells moved, could he finish the first movements.
Although Xiahou was already a Master as an excellent pract.i.tioner, he had never met such magical boxing. Pleased to see such a “prey”, he persisted in practicing the first movements three times. As a result, he became exhausted.
But the effect was obvious. After he practiced the first movements three times, his physical strength reached its limit, and the dirt and impurities in him had been discharged to the outside of his body. Even if several of his brothers under his leadership covered their noses to help him bathe, they could still smell something bad.
“Young master, this set of boxing is absolutely the highest treasure of physical exercise. I suspect that it has reached beyond the heaven level and is probably the magical way of physical exercise that the great ancient G.o.ds used, so you should never teach anyone whom you can’t completely trust. If it is found by others, I am afraid that numerous people will want to get it, and even those secluded supreme pract.i.tioners can’t hold themselves from taking action.”
Xiahou exhorted solemnly.
Ding Ning thought so and nodded, but since he got the Spell of Savage Soldier’s Body, he had never taken this set of boxing so seriously and had been treating it as a giveaway of the Spell of Savage Soldier’s Body.
Not until now when he found that Xiahou had reached the limit of his physical strength just after practicing it three times and it could also remove his impurities and clean his meridians, did he realize how magical the physique-exercising boxing was.
But he had instantly become clear about the reason why the pract.i.tioner needed medicines to help him practice the Barbarian Physical Exercise Technique: The medicines could help him regain his strength fast and quicken his practicing speed, making his flesh gradually adapt to the tough training and break through the limits of his body time after time to transform his body.
Without the help of herbs, the pract.i.tioner could also practice, but the speed would drop rapidly because after all his strength was consumed, he would need a long time to recover before he continued the practice.
He felt it was funny, and he also gloated. Lu Zhan and his other colleagues had not become Masters, and their endurance was not comparable to Xiahou’s, so he guessed that they were now lying in bed to wait for their strength to gradually recover.
“Alas!” Ding Ning shook his head and had a secret wry smile, but he could not watch them gradually recover because those foreign devils of unknown origin could storm into Green Cloud Club at any time. If anything unexpected happened, it would be troublesome.
He explained it to Luoxue apologetically, saying that he could not go and see the restaurant with her, who was a little disappointed but generously said that she understood.
With so much guilt, Ding Ning told Camel that he must give Luoxue careful protection. After seeing them leave the villa, he instantly went to the laboratory to begin preparing herbs.
One hour later, Ding Ning made more than 100 bags of herbs, soaked them in the bathtub, and then put Xiahou into it. The surging medical power penetrated his skin and quickly restored his physical strength, making Xiahou quite happy.
Ding Ning asked seriously, “Brother Xiahou, can your subordinates be trusted?”
“Absolutely. Some of them have been adopted by Madam since they were young and they have grown up with First Miss, and some are mercenaries who joined numerous battles with me and came here alive. Those who were adopted by Madam have set up an organization specializing in gathering intelligence, called Skynet, and they have experienced the professional intelligence training. And the 35 soldiers I have trained are not average in strength, but they have their individual advantages, and are absolutely loyal to Madam and First Miss.”
Xiahou learned Ding Ning’s idea and patted his chest excitedly to guarantee at once.
Ding Ning nodded and said seriously, “Brother Xiahou, we are not outsiders, and I won’t tell you lies. Now I entrust you to organize a group of people to practice the Physical Exercise Technique, and these people will become my Ding Family’s most devoted main force and the sharp knife in my hand. I don’t care about talent or intelligence, and I only want them to be absolutely loyal.”
“Young master, please rest a.s.sured. I will build a devoted and reliable main force for you. If anyone whom I picked up betrays you, I will break his neck and kill myself to atone for my sins.”
Xiahou sprang up, stood on one knee, and promised solemnly.
He knew how powerful this physique-exercising boxing was. Without intelligence or talent requirements, it only had a hurdle called perseverance, which meant that even a strong-willed ordinary person could become strong. Thinking that these ordinary people would become strong fighters because of his training, he trembled with excitement.
