Chapter 28 Pacing
Zheng Zinuo smiled at what Feng Ziyan said and urged Feng Ziyan to teach him the spirit call-out skill. He called out his martial spirit, a light yellow martial spirit emerged from behind.
"Hey? Why is your martial spirit yellow? My father said you had an orange martial spirit! Did you hide your real martial spirit?" Feng Ziyan asked with puzzle.
"No, I didn't know the level of my martial spirit." Zheng Zinuo shook his head. "Master Fang told me about it."
"Oh, maybe Master Fang made a mistake. Orange and yellow are similar colors. Maybe it's just a mistake." Feng Ziyan nodded, but was still puzzled. "But even with a yellow martial spirit, it is impossible for you have such a strong strength. Your strength is leveling up so fast after you learnt the codes of spirit upgrading. I myself am not able to achieve it."
"Oh... Is it fast?" Zheng Zinuo smiled and touched his own head. "I feel it was quite slow. It must be your good teaching and the power of the spirit upgrading codes. That's why my strength is leveling up so fast."
"It can't be the case." Feng Ziyan's face was grim. "This set of spirit upgrading codes was the elementary codes for Lingyin fellows. The general code is divided into seven grades: red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple. This set of spirit upgrading codes is designed for low level martial fighters. It will not cause harms to children's weak physical body. So it is widely used. After people exceed the level of Martial Shi, this set of codes will no longer be useful to them. They then need to select another set of codes that helps them. So the spirit upgrading codes are the lowest level codes. Trainees with great talents will need half a month to improve their strength level with spirit upgrading codes. Let alone you haven't had much physical practice. How could you be upgrading so fast?" Feng Ziyan had more puzzles after her analysis.
"Well, that's a bit strange, huh, huh..." Zheng Zinuo smirked. He was originally not suitable for martial cultivation. Now he suddenly got a set of codes, leveled up his strength and was able to call out his martial spirit at his will. Words could not describe his happiness.
"Sister, stop thinking about it. Isn't it good to level up fast? Why don't you teach me the skill you mentioned about?" Zheng Zinuo urged. It was of not much use with only the strength leveling up. That was not what he wanted.
"Well, you are right. Fast improvement is good." Feng Ziyan could not come up with any other reasoning. She didn't dare to ask her parents or other brothers. Or they would know she was teaching them martial skills. Hence she nodded and continued, "Good. Since you have such a good understanding of martial arts codes, then the following martial skills would not be hard for you."
From this moment, Feng Ziyan gradually changed her view on Zheng Zinuo. She slowly said, "You have already successfully called out your martial spirit. Though your martial strength is only level four, you call still use it. Why don't you try the spirit call-out codes to press your martial strength into your body? Then you can control it with your will power and direct it to your legs. Gradually you press it into your acupuncture point. Right here and here on your legs." Feng Ziyan was afraid Zheng Zinuo would not understand and pointed at the acupuncture points on his legs.
"But you have to be careful when you use spirit call-outcodes. Make sure you don't exhaust all your martial strength otherwise you may suffer from internal injuries and hurt yourself. So bear in mind do not stretch yourself, ok? This is what my parent always reminds me of."
"Well, I know, let me try." Zheng Zinuo was extremely excited. He quickly started spirit call-out codes, slowly directed half of his martial strength, which was two levels of strength and used his will power to drive the strength into his two legs. The strength gradually flew down to the bottom of his feet like a warm spring.
At this moment, he only felt that his two feet suddenly became huge. But in reality, there was no change on his feet. His two legs were full of explosive power. He subconsciously stood up, slightly bent his legs and jumped forward.
"This was too powerful!" Zheng Zinuo was overjoyed. But his body immediately became soft with two legs shaking and his martial spirit behind him disappeared right away. There was a sudden sense of tiredness hitting him, making him dizzy.
"What is going on?" Zheng Zinuo hurriedly leaned onto a tree next to him in order not to fall on the ground.
"Ha ha ha..." Feng Ziyan couldn't help laughing and pointed at Zheng Zinuo.
"What's wrong? Was it funny?" Zheng Zinuo touched his head and took a few deep breaths. Then he felt his exhaustion was a little better and asked Feng Ziyan in a hurry.
"You fool. It was so funny, hahaha…" Feng Ziyan said with a smile and walked over. "Do you really think that this skill is as simple as the codes you have recited just now? You need learn to apply it accordingly. OK? Just now, you launch the spirit call-out skill to direct your martial strength to your legs. But your martial strength was completely consumed right away, wasn't it?"
"Well, yeah. And I am still dizzy and weak." Zheng Zinuo nodded and replied.
"That's right." Feng Ziyan stopped laughing and explained, "When you use the spirit call-out codes to direct your martial strength into your body, you also need to use the spirit movement codes as well to continuously circulate your martial strength to your legs and the bottom of feet. So you need to manage your steps well." After this, Feng Ziyan stood up and walked over.
"There is a set of steps called pacing. This is a low level type of steps. When you interchange your steps, there should be a little pause in between your steps. This pause is for you to combine both the spirit movement codes and spirit call-out codes to balance your martial strength, legs and feet. This way, you are allowed to use the least martial strength to do the pacing. When you no longer want to use pacing and stop, you should use spirit call-back codes to send your martial strength back into your martial spirit. This process needs to be done slowly." Feng Ziyan patiently taught.
Zheng Zinuo was enlightened all of a sudden. He quickly followed the instructions of Feng Ziyan and remembered the spirit movement codes and spirit call-out codes in his heart. Then he practiced the pacing skill, called out his martial spirit and martial strength again. This time he learnt the last lesson and only used one level of martial strength to power the pacing.
This time, Zheng Zinuo walked three steps in a row. Each step was about two meters in length. He no longer felt dizzy and was delighted about the effect. But right at this moment, he lost the pace of spirit movement codes. Before he was able to launch spirit call-back codes, his martial spirit disappeared. He had a suppress on his check and had to stop all his movements.
Fortunately, Zheng Zinuo's martial strength was too small to cause any internal injury on him. This was also the reason why Master Feng required disciples to learn the Martial Arts Morality and complete the physical training first before he started teaching them actual martial codes.
The martial arts codes were not as simple as people imagined. Without proper guidance, the right way to cultivate and a deep martial moral preparation, one could not understand the real meaning behind the codes. Without a strong physical body, one could not stand the impact of his martial strength. This way, disciples either hurt their body or totally ruin their martial spirit and became a waste person.
When Feng Ziyan saw that Zheng Zinuo was able to walk for more than three steps for his first time applying pacing, she suddenly started admire him. When she was learning the pacing as a level 11 martial fighter, it took her three whole days before she mastered it and was able to walk. It was very hard to balance the spirit call-out codes, the spirit movement codes and pacing all together.
Feng Ziyan originally thought that it would take Zheng Zinuo at least three to five days before he was able to learn the pacing skill. According to his martial talent, it would at least take them two weeks to apply the pacing skill in real life. But in less than half an hour, he fully mastered the pacing skill. Though in actual practice, he still need more training. But she now Zheng Zinuo just needed another one day to perfect his pacing skill.
"Sister, I have a doubt." Zheng Zinuo did not rush to seek success. He took a short rest, waited for his chest tightness and head dizziness to relieve. And then she asked "Sister, why you didn't call out your martial spirit when you were applying pacing skill?"
"Oh... little fool." Feng Ziyan didn't know since when she started to like calling Zheng Zinuo little fool. She answered in smile, "Because I am a level 12 martial fighter so that I have real martial strength. So I don't need to call out my strength and infuse it into my body. When you reach my level, you will be the same as me." Afterwards she looked at the sky and said, "It's getting late now. Let's continued our physical exercises." Then she started running down the mountain again.
