Chapter Twenty Cultivation

  At dawn, Wu Ye Yu woke up from his cultivation and slowly withdrew his energy. After consolidating throughout the night, Wu Ye Yu found that although his total amount of internal energy hadn't increased much, he had made significant progress in terms of its purity and control, which was a huge improvement indeed.

  "Hmm~ I knew it! As expected, it's not beyond my expectations. Being overly eager to take credit isn't a good thing after all. The saying 'haste makes waste' is exactly about this principle. It seems that the years of reading weren't wasted, some universal and famous sayings do make sense. Since they can be applied universally, they must have some truth to them. Hehe~ I'm not fighting alone!

  Wu Ye Yu's face was calm at this moment, with a 'matter-of-fact' expression, as if it was only natural that he could accomplish these things. But if one looked closely, the corner of his mouth was slightly curled up, revealing a pleased expression. Who knows who this guy is putting on an act for? Is it just self-satisfaction?"

  After washing up, Wu Ye Yu came to the mourning hall and started sweeping for his mother. After finishing a set of movements, it was already a minute later. Changing into a simple outfit, Wu Ye Yu went to the courtyard and began practicing his fist technique. The training method of "Basic Fist Technique" suited his taste, and he could grow passively as he practiced, although the speed might be slower than other basic techniques. It couldn't be rushed, belonging to the category of slow and meticulous work.

  But thinking carefully, actually nothing has been delayed, unknowingly growing up without saying, and also growing during the practice of other boxing techniques, two not delaying, compared to each other is really very good!

  Lao Wu's inherited killing fist was indeed extraordinary, not only was it almost flawless on the battlefield, but once executed, its momentum was extraordinary, with a bloody aura lingering around his fists at all times. When facing an enemy, he could make them feel as if they were on the battlefield, unknowingly being pulled into his rhythm. Those who were not mentally strong would easily be affected spiritually once trapped in the fist's intent, gradually falling into various abnormal states, allowing the user to gain the upper hand when facing the enemy, with exceptional ferocity.

  Wu Yeru had once practiced with Old Wu, and was easily drawn into the depths of his fist intent, as if he himself was being soaked in a pool of blood. The feeling was unbearable.

  Wu Ye Yu's boxing skills are obviously inferior to Old Wu's, after all, he has no real combat experience and has not personally experienced the battlefield, nor has he killed anyone with his own hands, lacking a bloody atmosphere. Although he has hit many prey, the nature of this is different, there is nothing comparable, and there is little iron-blooded flavor in his boxing skills.

  However, after Wu Yeru arrived in the other world, he easily produced internal energy within himself. When he infused his internal energy into his fist techniques, he was surprisingly able to achieve the same effect as when he used to fight with Old Wu. This change made Wu Yeru overjoyed.

  Killing intent, I should be none, huh, maybe even if there is, it's very little, can't compare with Old Wu's. So how did I reach Old Wu's state? Or to say, since Old Wu doesn't have internal energy, how does he achieve the effect when fighting? Wu Ye Yu thought carefully, his current fist method if competing with Old Wu would definitely not have any chance of winning, even with the bonus from "Basic Fist Method", this difference is not just experience and feeling, but lies in this killing intent.

  "Must I really go and kill someone myself? Hmm, killing a demon beast should have the same effect, right?" Wu Ye thought uncertainly.

  "Never mind."

  ……

  The sun had just risen, and a thin layer of fog still floated in the small courtyard, but it no longer affected visibility, only giving people a hazy feeling, which was very beautiful.

  After Wu Yeru punched a few rounds, he stopped and scooped out some leftover rice from last night's dinner to sprinkle into the water tank. The fish that had been hungry for several days naturally started competing, not letting go of a single grain of rice that slipped through the net. Wu Yeru found it interesting and teased the swimming fish for a while.

  After a while, a servant brought breakfast. The servant was wearing a coarse linen garment and had a strong onion smell on him... It seemed that Wang Lao Liu from the kitchen had arranged it, not bad. After putting down the breakfast, he also took away yesterday's bowls and chopsticks. The breakfast was relatively light, with two poached eggs, a bowl of rice porridge, a plate of peanuts, and two small dishes. It wasn't that it couldn't be better, but rather that in the Wu household, no matter who it was, they all ate this for breakfast, because Wu Ye Yu had also eaten like this with his mother in the past.

  After finishing breakfast and digesting for a bit, Wu Ye Yu started practicing "Basic Muscle Mastery". Yesterday's twelve movements hadn't been practiced thoroughly yet, so he did them all over again.

  "Wow! You actually dared to secretly practice on your own while I wasn't here! Are you afraid that I'll surpass you, fatty brother~! Hehe! Got caught by me, didn't you?" Little loli Wen Xiyue was currently wearing a white training uniform, her long hair neatly tied up, and with a playful smile on her face, she stood with her hands on her hips, looking at Wu Yeyu who was convulsing abnormally on the ground.

  "Damn it! Not again!" Wu Yeyu felt a bit speechless, yesterday he seemed to have been interrupted at this point too, and then misunderstood by Little Loli, didn't expect today to get here again, what bad luck!

  But compared with yesterday, Wu Yeyu's condition is much better now. At least he can stand up without anyone supporting him, although his body still feels a bit sore.

  "Hmph! You actually found me, but there's no reward though." Wu Ye Yu said casually as he stood up, and then noticed that behind the little loli were two servants carrying two large gray blankets.

  "This is what I specially prepared yesterday, so you don't have to worry about getting your clothes dirty when sitting on the ground. Isn't it clever? There's one for you too." Wen Xiyue looked very pleased with herself, her big eyes staring unblinkingly at Wu Yeyu, while the two people behind her quickly spread out the blanket and then left.

  "Hmm, I didn't think that much about it either, and there's no need to make a fuss. As long as I can practice, that's all that matters." Wu Ye Yu said matter-of-factly, if his clothes got dirty, he would just wash them, and as long as it wasn't necessary for practicing martial arts, he really hadn't thought about it.

  "Hmph! I'm not like you at all, getting your clothes dirty is so ugly!" Little Loli said with a pout, looking unhappy that she didn't get the praise she had expected.

  "Hehe, of course it's better, little girl, you even brought one for me too, you're really thoughtful, thank you." Wu Yeyu said after noticing something was off, immediately reaching out to touch the little girl's head.

  "Hmph! Good that you know."

  ……

  Then the two began to train, at first Wu Yeyu was demonstrating, and then let Wen Xiyue follow suit. If Little Loli had any mistakes or shortcomings, Wu Yeyu would correct her again. And Wen Xiyue, this little girl, did not disappoint, with good innate talent, strong memory, and physical flexibility that was also unusually good, of course, this should also be related to her young age and soft bones. In many places where the difficulty was not small, Wu Yeyu found that she had some trouble doing it herself, but Wen Xiyue did it very easily, which made people admire her again.

  Like this, after a period of time, Wu Yeru discovered that the twelve moves he had just finished yesterday were all learned by this girl, although some places were not very familiar, but this was already surprising.

  "Hmph! I still can't do the moves below, this is terrible. If that little girl finds out, she'll die laughing. No way! Let's drag it out for now." Wu Yeru thought to herself.

  "For now, let's just stop here for today. You can practice the rest on your own and when you feel like you've got it down without any awkwardness, I'll teach you the next move." Wu Yeyu said with a serious face.

  "Uh, this is called overcautiousness, wanting to rush but not reaching the goal! Do you understand? This set of secret techniques has a total of 108 moves, not many, but the later movements are more difficult than the previous ones. Only by mastering the basic part first and roughly training all the muscles in the body, allowing the body to have an adaptation process, can one be at ease in the subsequent practice." Seeing Xiao Loli's puzzled face, Wu Yeyu immediately added, and after listening to this, she thought about it and also made sense, so she didn't continue to ask.

  "Phew, it's good that I was able to fool myself and not lose face. Otherwise, it would have been embarrassing~" Wu Ye Yu's face turned slightly red, but since she was already flushed from training, no one noticed. "Sigh, a small lie requires another lie to cover it up... what should I do next? Pull an all-nighter to catch up? It seems like even the things I teach aren't learned quickly by Little Luo Li... not good... let's discuss this again."

  The effect of this set of movements is still very significant. Although the two are now only practicing the simplest twelve movements, they have also felt its effect in this process. For example, when doing these movements, the body sweats easily, and it's a full-body sweat with a strong odor, which is unthinkable for people who practice martial arts all year round. Moreover, the body feels hot from the bones, as if burning internally, and the whole body is roasted to a white-red color, which is a kind of washing the marrow in disguise, eliminating waste from deep within the body.

  Wen Xiyue is still okay, after all, she has been dressed in finery and eaten the best food since childhood, and has taken various spiritual medicines to cleanse her body, so there are much fewer impurities inside her than ordinary people. But Wu Yeru is different, this kid has never had a good life since childhood, he's used to eating whatever fills his belly, no conditions to pick and choose, so it's especially obvious on him, every time after practice, it's like he's been steamed in a sauna, his whole body will be completely transparent, his body is extremely comfortable.

  The morning passed quickly, and Wen Xiyue hurried back to take a bath and change clothes. She ran back to her place of residence, saying that she wouldn't come over in the afternoon as she needed to practice her inner strength. Wu Yeyu also tidied up a bit, ate lunch, and then went back to his room to rest.
