Chapter 074 Martial Will
Lin Yuechan seemingly casually stepped on the ground, and her whole body floated several meters away like a weightless leaf, her footwork light and agile yet full of hidden secrets.
Immediately, she lowered her waist and stood up, throwing a straight punch.
There was no earth-shattering fanfare, no dazzling light effects.
It's such a simple punch, each move, yet it's full of an indescribable sense of rhythm.
It was as if every movement had been practiced countless times, perfectly mobilizing the strength of the whole body.
A set of boxing techniques combined with footwork flowed smoothly and seamlessly.
As she retracted her fist and stood still, an invisible sharpness slowly dissipated.
"Did you see that clearly? This is the 'Basic Boxing Techniques' and 'Basic Footwork'."
Lin Yuechan looked at Lin Qiye and slowly began to speak, "These are the universal basic martial arts techniques officially promulgated by the Empire, and they are the foundation of all martial arts techniques. Don't underestimate them just because they are low-level and basic. In fact, they are far more important than the 'radio gymnastics' you practice. Apart from a few ancient families who have secret martial arts techniques passed down from childhood to build a foundation, 99% of the martial artists in the Empire only choose their subsequent martial arts style based on their own characteristics after cultivating these two basic martial arts techniques to the 'mastery' level."
She said slowly, "I'll practice one more time, watch carefully. Then you try it yourself. Maybe with your aptitude, you'll get the hang of it quickly. Being there in person is definitely more than ten times better than VR, and a thousand times better than watching digital videos."
Lin Qiye thought to himself, "Teacher Yuechan, you think too highly of me."
An hour passed quickly. Lin Yuechan watched Lin Qiye's clumsy demonstration, her beautiful brows furrowing tightly.
Unexpectedly, Lin Qiye's performance was among the worst of all the students she had taught.
This is completely different from what she expected.
His movements were stiff, his footwork was chaotic, and his punches were weak and powerless; he couldn't even find the most basic way to generate force.
In an hour, you might not learn all the basic boxing and footwork techniques, but at least you should be able to grasp the basic form.
However, Lin Qiye's performance was surprisingly poor.
Lin Yuechan shook her head, a hint of disappointment on her face, and said, "It seems your martial arts talent is very poor, extremely poor. You might need to seriously consider whether becoming a theoretical martial arts scholar is a better fit for you."
Lin Yuechan did not hide anything from him, nor did she give him any face.
In her opinion, it's better to speak harshly now than to lead him astray in the future and waste his talent for cultivation techniques.
Lin Qiye scratched his head, a hint of embarrassment on his face, and asked, "Is it... that serious?"
"Serious?" Lin Yuechan's tone became even more stern. "Let me put it this way. The girl you just saw is learning the A-level martial art 'Crimson Serpent Blade Technique' from me. In the first hour, she was already able to execute the blade technique in form. Although it's still immature, the basic stance is already there."
Her sharp gaze fell on Lin Qiye, and she continued her merciless attack: "And you, you've only learned the most basic boxing and footwork. An hour has passed, and you can't even stand steadily, let alone find your footing. What do you think?"
Lin Qiye shook his head helplessly, without refuting.
In Lin Yuechan's eyes, his appearance was an admission of his incompetence, which deepened her disappointment.
However, Lin Qiye was secretly wondering to himself.
Okay, I admit it, I was just a little bit slow to get started!
Lack of talent?
After I get back, I'll activate these two basic skills in the system.
We'll see how quickly I finish this!
Seeing Lin Qiye's "dead pig doesn't fear boiling water" attitude, Lin Yuechan's anger of "disappointment in his lack of ambition" dissipated considerably.
She shook her head, knowing that saying anything more would be pointless.
"That's enough. The way of martial arts also depends on fate; it cannot be forced."
She calmed herself down and said businesslike, "The boxing and footwork I practiced here today will be automatically captured and recorded by the training room's intelligent system. Within 24 hours, a personalized VR instructional video will be generated, which you can download for a fee and learn from my movements. This immersive teaching method is definitely much more effective than watching those old digital videos."
She paused, a hint of pride in her tone, which quickly turned serious: "Of course, my demonstration just now also contained my own martial will. You can watch it repeatedly through VR videos, which will help you understand 'fist intent' and 'foot intent.' However, my martial intent is nothing compared to that of the Martial God Ling Zhan; it's like comparing a firefly to the moon. Ultimately, it's up to you which method you choose to learn."
"Martial God Ling Zhan? What does that mean?" Lin Qiye asked, looking puzzled.
Lin Yuechan was stunned for a moment, and only after seeing his blank and curious eyes did she suddenly realize what he meant.
Once again, he subconsciously mistook him for one of those scions of noble families.
She quickly explained, "The official instructional videos for 'Basic Fist Techniques' and 'Basic Footwork' come from the Taurus constellation and were personally demonstrated and recorded by His Majesty Ling Zhan, one of the first pioneers of Taurus. This is common knowledge that most martial arts families know..."
"The first pioneers of Taurus?! Martial God Ling Zhan?!"
Lin Qiye's eyes widened instantly, and a huge wave of emotions surged within him.
The pioneer of Taurus!
Those were not even in the same league as the pioneers of the 0755 galaxy!
If we say that the pioneers of the 0755 star system were the ones who, after the Galactic Empire had already established a stable territory on the main star in Taurus, piloted advanced starships and used mature techniques to conquer the surrounding star regions, then they were the heroic "pioneers".
So, the first pioneers of Taurus were the "founders" who, when the Empire was facing the completely unknown Taurus star system and the main star had not yet been determined, relied on their most primitive flesh and blood and simple spaceships to carve out a bloody path for the Empire in Taurus and lay the foundation for the main star!
They are true legends, names engraved at the very top of the historical monument of Taurus!
And the God of War is a myth within a myth!
It can be said that it was the first pioneers who paved the way for the later pioneers of various star systems (such as the 0755 star system).
Seeing the barely suppressed shock and longing in Lin Qiye's eyes, Lin Yuechan continued, "That was just a digital video recorded using the oldest technology. The picture quality is rough, far less immersive than the currently popular VR holographic tutorials. For ordinary people, VR might be better, but for a genius like you with extremely high comprehension of martial arts techniques, watching the official original version might give you a sliver of a chance to feel the vast and boundless martial arts will of the Martial God."
Her voice unconsciously carried a hint of reverence: "When Martial God Ling Zhan demonstrates his martial arts in the video, it contains his martial god-level martial will. Even in the oldest video recordings, that will will not completely dissipate. If you can glean even a trace of it from it, it will bring immeasurable benefits to your future path in martial arts."
"Currently, the top student in the martial arts class at our Galaxy Martial Arts University has grasped a trace of the Martial God's intent and integrated it into his own martial intent, making him invincible among his peers."
After saying this, Lin Yuechan looked at Lin Qiye's seemingly understanding but not quite, and couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly.
What am I doing?
Judging from his clumsy and uncoordinated movements just now, he couldn't even grasp the most basic "form," let alone comprehend the ethereal and elusive "martial will," which is harder than ascending to heaven.
Giving him hope might only make him overly ambitious and cause him to fall even harder.
