Chapter 1062 Wuchen

The arrangement for the afternoon was that Kallen would train with Theresa, while Zijing and Cheng Lixue were taken to the sand outside by Fu Hua to learn Shenzhou martial arts.

The afternoon sun shone on the empty sandy ground. Zijing and Cheng Lixue followed Fu Hua to the training site. Fu Hua stood still and turned to face them.

"Lixue, wait aside for a moment."

"Okay, Master."

"..."

Cheng Lixue stood aside with a sword in her hand, while Zijing was stared at by Fu Hua with a calm look, which made her a little nervous. Although this person had no expression, Zijing could feel an indescribable pressure from her.

"Shenzhou martial arts emphasizes a calm mind like water and a moving mind like the wind." Fu Hua seemed to be able to sense Zi Jing's state. He looked at him quietly and said in a calm and powerful voice, "Before you start learning boxing, you need to learn how to control your breathing and mentality first."

"Boxing...?"

Zijing had expected this. After all, Fu Hua asked Cheng Lixue to bring a sword, while she followed empty-handed.

"Inch Heart Fist, that's the name I gave it. Start with the most basic breathing. Close your eyes, feel your breath, and let it become deep, long and steady."

Fu Hua's voice echoed in the empty sand. Zijing followed her instructions and slowly closed his eyes. The afternoon sun shone on his face, warm and peaceful. He began to try to slow down his breathing, making each inhalation and exhalation deeper and more rhythmic.

"Very good. Now imagine yourself as a calm lake. No matter how the outside world changes, your heart will always remain peaceful." Fu Hua continued to instruct. Her voice seemed to have a magical power that could quickly put people into a state of meditation.

Zijing's breathing gradually became smooth, and a tranquil lake began to emerge in his mind. The lake was like a mirror, reflecting the blue sky and the golden sunlight. He felt his heartbeat synchronized with his breathing, becoming slow and powerful.

"Now, open your eyes." Fu Hua's voice sounded again, awakening Zijing from her meditation, "Remember this feeling, it is the foundation for learning the Cunxin Fist."

Zijing opened his eyes, and it was obvious that such a small matter as keeping calm was nothing to him.

"Next, we will learn the first move of Cunxin Fist - Cunjin·Luanlei." Fu Hua said, and began to demonstrate the moves of the boxing. "The core of this move is the instantaneous explosive power, just like the thunder in the sky, sudden and fierce."

Zijing watched Fu Hua's boxing demonstration intently. He noticed that every movement of Fu Hua was so smooth and powerful, as if every punch could penetrate the air.

"You try it." Fu Hua gave up her seat and motioned Zijing to do a simple imitation first.

Zijing nodded slightly, and then according to his memory, he slowly threw the first punch. Although his movements were still a little awkward, he could already feel the power flowing through his body.

"Not bad, but you need to adjust your power point." Fu Hua walked to Zi Jing and personally instructed him, "Remember, the power should start from the soles of the feet, pass through the waist and abdomen, and finally explode in the fists."

Zi Jing followed Fu Hua's instructions and practiced over and over again. He could feel his progress every time he threw a punch.

Cheng Lixue watched this scene from the side, and it was as if she saw herself learning martial arts under Fu Hua. Even she herself did not expect that her master would actually choose to pass on his martial arts to Zi Jing.

It has been a long time since you became a disciple of the master, right?

Until now, Cheng Lixue has never seen her master accept any new disciples... If we look at it based on seniority, is Zijing her junior fellow apprentice now?

Thinking of this, Cheng Lixue's gaze towards Zijing changed, becoming gentle and happy.

As the sun gradually set, Zijing continued to practice and improve under Fu Hua's guidance. In addition to Inch Power·Chaotic Thunder, Fu Hua also taught Zijing the other five styles of Inch Heart Fist - Inch Power·Thunderbolt, Inch Power·Rock Break, Inch Power·Mountain Collapse, Inch Power·Cloud Mist and Inch Power·Open Heaven.

It's just that he hasn't fully understood it. After all, it's only been half a day. Unless Zijing is really a genius picked out of a million, how could he comprehend the essence so quickly?

boom---!

Zijing punched the steel plate in front of him, leaving a clear fist mark that extended a few centimeters behind it.

Fu Hua took a look and shook her head slightly. It was obvious that Zijing was using great strength to send bricks flying, and the Cunxin Fist technique contained in it was probably less than one-tenth of it.

However, Fu Hua just let Zijing practice by herself, and then she called Cheng Lixue who had been waiting quietly beside her.

"Lixue, draw your sword."

"Okay, Master."

Without saying a word, Cheng Lixue drew her sword and thrust it towards Fu Hua. It was as if a hundred sword shadows appeared at the same time. In just this one strike of the sword, she had used up all she had learned in her life.

Fu Hua also had a sword at her hand. Without any movement on her part, the sword that had been unsheathed instantly appeared in her hand. She ignored the hundreds of sword shadows and directly found the real sword among them.

clang---!

The swords collided with each other, making a crisp sound.

Upon seeing this, Cheng Lixue did not launch another attack, because he could tell from his master's calm eyes that this one sword was enough.

"Swordsman of the Wuchen Realm, Lixue, you have made great progress."

"Thank you for the compliment, Master."

"Next, I will guide you to feel the 'clear mirror', but how to achieve it still requires your own understanding."

Fu Hua put away her sword and spoke at the same time, "In the state of 'clear mirror', the mind is as pure as ice, untainted by dust, and can wipe away the influence of any distracting thoughts and emotions. You must learn to find inner peace in sword dance and ignore the disturbances of the outside world."

Cheng Lixue nodded and slowly danced with her sword. The sword light was like water, flowing endlessly, and her heart gradually calmed down with the sword dance.

"Feel your sword, feel your heart." The master's voice rang in my ears, "The sword is the heart, and the heart is the sword. When your sword dance can reflect your heart, when your heart is as clear as a mirror, you will be able to take that step."

As time went by, Cheng Lixue's sword dance became smoother and smoother, and her heart became calmer and calmer. She began to feel an unprecedented clarity and thoroughness, as if she could see through every thought and emotion of hers. Her sword dance was no longer a simple movement, but a reflection of her inner world.

Finally, at the climax of a sword dance, Cheng Lixue felt something. Her sword tip lightly touched the water, as if breaking the calmness of the water surface, and an invisible wave spread out.

After a long time, she opened her eyes, but her dust-free eyes were still not as clear as a mirror.
