Chapter 75 Physical Changes
"Hey, Brother Du, please teach me."
Upon hearing this, Yang Chenguang became even more excited and even changed his address.
"If you have something to do, call Brother Du. If you don't have anything to do, call Du Ruo. Okay, tell your friends that they can practice horse stance when they have nothing to do. It doesn't take long every day. Half an hour is enough. If you persist for a month or two, I guarantee it will work wonders."
Du Ruo joked and then gave an answer.
"This is good, this is good, is there anything else I should pay attention to? I'll go back and try it."
When Yang Chenguang heard it was so simple, he immediately stopped acting.
"There is nothing to pay attention to when doing horse stance. There are many tutorials online. Just follow them. You don't have to do it for half an hour at a time. Just do it for enough time every day. Take a break when you are tired. Pay attention to nutrition and eat more beef. After one or two months, your leg muscles will have obvious changes. If you want better results, you can keep your anus lifted while doing horse stance, and the effect will be better."
Du Ruo was afraid that Yang Chenguang didn't understand, so she taught him some precautions and techniques for lifting the anus in the yard, and she taught Yang Chenguang everything without reservation.
After finally sending away the excited Yang Chenguang, Du Ruo finally had time to sum up what he had gained today.
Today I had two rare and enjoyable battles, especially the one with the blond man.
Hitting someone with a fist is completely different from practicing boxing on your own. It allows Du Ruo to better experience the release of the strength in his body and has a more obvious improvement in his control over his own strength.
The weapons duel with Wang Lang in the evening made Du Ruo understand many advantages and disadvantages of Panlong Silk.
Even if Du Ruo stretched out his arms when using the Panlong Silk, the attack range was only within a three-meter radius. He didn't feel it when he was practicing, but it seemed insufficient during actual combat.
In addition, the silk thread was replaced with steel wire. Although the toughness increased, it was much weaker in cutting. Without the use of "qi" bonus, it would be difficult to cut human bones. However, in modern society, such high-intensity cutting ability is really not needed, otherwise it is easy to hurt others by mistake.
I also clearly understood why the introduction of Panlong Silk says: Suitable for assassination and self-defense for women.
It is concealed, highly functional, and can be carried with you. Even when scanned by modern instruments, it can only be seen that it is a metal bracelet.
Moreover, today when the bracelet bumped against Wang Lang's two-handed sword, the final inspection found that there was no trace left. Du Ruo was already very satisfied with the Panlong Silk.
The next morning, Du Ruo got up early and practiced Tongbiquan in the yard. To practice Tongbiquan to a high level one's forearms must be as tough as iron and both arms must be able to swing as flexibly as whips. This requires a long period of practice, and being able to use strength is just the beginning.
"Boss Du, I'm leaving now. I'll come and play next time."
Outside the yard, Xiang Yuanyuan was riding a small electric scooter carrying Li Qiyao, with a pink suitcase hanging behind. Li Qiyao was sitting on the back of the electric scooter and waving at Du Ruo in the yard.
The early morning sun shines on Li Qiyao's body, making her long hair shine. Her smile is bright and her whole body is radiant, as if she is welcoming a new life that belongs to her.
"Do you want me to take you there?"
Du Ruo retracted his arm that was hitting the sandbag, walked to the fence, and asked the two of them.
"No need, Yuanyuan will take me to the station. My cousin and I will drive over next time. I'll trouble you, Boss Du, then. Bye~"
Li Qiyao smoothed her hair and waved goodbye.
"Well, be careful."
After saying that, Du Ruo stood there and watched Xiang Yuanyuan driving Li Qiyao out of the village.
"Wear a helmet!!" Du Ruo shouted loudly just as the electric scooter was about to drive out of the village.
"Ha ha ha ha…"
Seeing two people stop their car at the entrance of the village and start flipping through the helmets on the electric scooter, Du Ruo couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"What a nice day! I'll ask Xiang Yuanyuan when she's going to climb Mount Huangshan someday. I haven't climbed it properly since I came back. I don't know if anything has changed in all these years."
After the two men put on their helmets and left, Du Ruo looked at the Huangshan Mountain behind the house and couldn't help muttering something. Then he returned to the place where he had just been and continued to practice hitting the sandbag.
It has been a long time and the memory is a little fuzzy. Du Ruo is not very willing to go hiking alone, so he thinks of making an appointment with Xiang Yuanyuan. With an extra guide and a beautiful woman by his side, the scenery will surely be more beautiful.
After practicing the basic skills, Du Ruo cut a large plate of braised beef, made a pot of tea, sat on the recliner and browsed the phone, occasionally picking up a piece of beef and putting it in his mouth. His life was so comfortable.
You can take a nap at noon, and then go to the front desk to see if there is anything you can help with.
After finishing the work, I returned to the yard and practiced some hidden weapons or took up a spear to learn a set of Xingyi spear techniques. In the evening, I went to the tavern and sat with Xiang Yuanyuan to drink a glass of medicinal wine. By the way, I asked Xiang Yuanyuan when he planned to climb Huangshan Mountain next time.
"Next time, let's wait for a rainy day. The sun was too strong the last two times I went there, and my skin got tanned."
Xiang Yuanyuan didn't seem as happy after sending Li Qiyao back. She finally had a good sister with whom she could get along, but she went back after just a few days. She couldn't help feeling a little lost.
"Then call me when the time comes. I don't think I've ever seen the scenery of Huangshan in the rain."
Du Ruo continued, saying that as a villager at the foot of Mount Huangshan, he had only been to Mount Huangshan once, which was a little unbelievable.
You don't have to think that being a Huangshan native means you will climb mountains until you vomit. In fact, there is a polarization. Some people live at the foot of Huangshan all their lives but have never been there. Others choose to be tour guides and go to Huangshan every now and then just to make a living.
Most of the time, we are busy making a living. When we get older and have more free time, we want to climb Mount Huangshan to see the scenery, but we find that we no longer have the energy.
Du Ruo didn't want to leave such regrets. Practicing martial arts is a pursuit and B&B is life. Both are important, but he cannot ignore the scenery around him.
After agreeing with Xiang Yuanyuan, Du Ruo went up the mountain again early the next morning.
He did not forget to bring a piece of fresh beef with him. The village had slaughtered a cow early in the morning, and Du Ruo bought hundreds of pounds of it. He cut the best part of the cow.
Du Ruo didn't know what happened to the clouded leopard, and whether it had left the boulder because of what happened last time.
This time when going up the mountain, Du Ruo clearly felt that his speed was not as fast as before. The last time he went up the mountain, Du Ruo ran flexibly and easily in the mountains. He even felt that he seemed to catch up with the wind when running at full speed.
After just a few days, Du Ruo noticed obvious changes in himself. Without using his "spirit", his strength had increased a lot, and his explosive power was also stronger. The distances that he could barely cross before could now be covered more easily.
However, when running long distances, it was obvious that he was not as flexible and free as before. After a little thought, Du Ruo quickly understood the reason.
During this period of time, Du Ruo has been eating a lot of tonic food like crazy. The dozens of kilograms of beef every day are not eaten in vain. Du Ruo estimates that he has gained at least dozens of kilograms in these days.
"I have to weigh myself when I get home. I think I weighed 130 pounds last time. It's been almost a week, and I don't know how much weight I've gained."
Du Ruo looked at the huge rock not far away, felt the changes in his body, and thought silently in his heart.
