I'm in the Red Mansion

Chapter 37 Don't use you to measure genius

At this time, Zhao Shicheng was holding a bright silver spear and practicing his spear skills.

Seeing the three people coming, Zhao Shicheng put away his spear and asked Jia Cong:
"Cong'er, how have you progressed in practicing Hunyuan Zhuang Gong at home in the past ten days? Is there anything you don't understand?"

Before Jia Cong could speak, Liu Xianglian said, "Master, in the past ten days, I have only practiced Hunyuan Zhuang Gong for 25 minutes every day at home!"

"If this continues, I'm afraid it won't be possible to reach proficiency even in three months!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Shicheng's face suddenly turned gloomy.

Jia Cong couldn't help but look at Liu Xianglian in disbelief!
Oh my god! Second Brother, the sixth one, actually learned to complain!

However, before Jia Cong could attack Liu Xianglian, Zhao Shicheng shouted angrily, "Jia Cong! Now, perform the Hunyuan Zhuang Gong and let me see how you have progressed in the past ten days."

"To practice martial arts, one's aptitude and understanding are certainly important! However, without an unyielding will, it will be difficult to achieve great things!"

"If you have made no progress in the past ten days, it proves that you have no intention of practicing martial arts! No matter how good your aptitude is, it will be in vain! Don't continue to practice martial arts with me in the future!"

Seeing Zhao Shicheng getting angry, Jia Cong felt awe-inspiring and started practicing Hunyuan Zhuang Gong.

Soon, the proficiency in Hunyuan Zhuang Gong made Jia Cong feel like he was rooted to the ground.

Upon seeing this scene, the eyes of Zhao Shicheng, Feng Ziying and Liu Xianglian, the three masters and apprentices, widened wider and their faces showed an expression as if they had seen a ghost.

After a while, Zhao Shicheng took two steps to Jia Cong and asked in doubt:

"Cong'er, you, have you already mastered the Hunyuan Zhuang Gong?"

When Jia Cong saw the surprised and doubtful expression on Zhao Shicheng's face, he thought that something had gone wrong in his practice.

He asked nervously, "Master, is there something wrong with my practice? Is it because I practice too little every day that I have reached the proficient level, but I don't have the corresponding strength?"

Zhao Shicheng asked with a twitching mouth: "Who told you that?"

Jia Cong hurriedly said, "Big Brother!"

Zhao Shicheng could not help but curse, "He knows nothing, he is just misleading the students! You don't have to worry, there is no problem with your cultivation, your foundation is solid."

Feng Ziying quickly said, "Master, I never said that. I heard that Junior Brother only practices for 25 minutes a day."

"I couldn't help but say that I couldn't achieve the goal because I didn't have enough time to practice every day!"

"How could I have known that Junior Brother had only spent ten days to master the Hunyuan Zhuang Gong?"

After explaining, Feng Ziying couldn't help but ask Jia Cong again: "Junior brother, in the past ten days, have you really only practiced for two quarters of an hour every day?"

Jia Cong said embarrassedly: "Yes, elder brother. Because I have to go to school during the day, and I have to read and write when I come back. Sometimes I have to go out to paint portraits. I really can't spare the time."

After Jia Cong finished speaking, Feng Ziying and Liu Xianglian looked at each other, and both saw the expression of despair in each other's eyes.

At this time, Jia Cong couldn't help but ask Zhao Shicheng: "Master, now that I have practiced Hunyuan Zhuanggong to a proficient level, how long should I practice it every day?"

Hearing Jia Cong's question, Zhao Shicheng couldn't help but hesitate.

He really wanted to say at least half an hour, preferably more than an hour.

But he suddenly thought that his last disciple was so evil that he could not be judged by common sense.

Thinking of this, Zhao Shicheng couldn't help but ask: "Cong'er, if you only practice for two quarters of an hour a day, how long do you think it will take to reach the minor success stage?"

Hearing this question, Jia Cong thought about it seriously. To reach a minor level of proficiency, 200 experience points are required.

If we calculate based on ten experience points per day, it will take about twenty days, right?
However, Jia Cong felt that if he said that it would only take twenty days, it might not be too shocking.

After all, it only took him ten days to practice the Hunyuan Zhuang Gong to a proficient level, but he shocked them to such an extent.

Then just extend the time a little bit.

Thinking of this, Jia Cong couldn't help but say, "Three months should be enough, right?"

Well, extending it from twenty days to three months, which is three times the time, shouldn't be so shocking, right?

However, Jia Cong did not see that after he finished speaking, Feng Ziying and Liu Xianglian were hit again. They even couldn't help but feel that the world was not worth it.

Especially Liu Xianglian, the time he took to master the Hunyuan Zhuang Gong from the beginner level to the proficient level was almost exactly the same as that of his senior brother.

Then he learned from his mistakes and became more courageous. In just one year, he went from being proficient in practice to a level of minor success.

Even his master praised him as a genius!
However, if he is a genius, then what about his junior brother who only practices for two quarters of an hour every day and can advance from the proficient level to the minor success level in at most three months?
At this moment, Liu Xianglian even began to doubt his life.

He couldn't help but ask, "Junior brother, you only practice for 25 minutes a day. Are you sure you can reach the minor success level from the proficient level within three months?"

Upon hearing this question, Jia Cong was stunned. Could it be that three months was not enough?
He hesitated for a moment and said, "Maybe, maybe? Actually, I'm not sure. It may even take longer."

At this time, Zhao Shicheng sneered and said, "Don't use your mediocre eyes to measure genius!"

Zhao Shicheng's words immediately made Liu Xianglian feel like he had suffered a critical hit of 10,000 points.

Haha, Master has changed!
I remember that you once praised me as a genius!

And now, in front of an even more evil junior brother, I have become a mediocre person.

At this time, Zhao Shicheng ignored Liu Xianglian's thoughts.

He couldn't help but say to Jia Cong: "Cong'er, you have extraordinary talent, which is rare for me in my life. Therefore, in terms of cultivation, you just need to practice diligently every day."

"As for the daily training time, it is up to you to decide based on your own situation. Today, I will teach you Bajiquan."

"In the martial arts world, there is a saying that Tai Chi can bring peace to the world, while Baji can bring order to the world. Baji means that the power can reach far away places in all directions."

"This set of boxing is simple and concise, yet strong and crisp. It uses six methods of opening as the core of the technique to break through the opponent's defense."

"Once you use this set of boxing techniques, the opponent will either die or be injured. Therefore, after learning this set of boxing techniques, you must not use it to fight with others or bully the weak!"

Jia Cong said hurriedly: "Yes, Master, I'll take note of it!"

Zhao Shicheng couldn't help but say, "Cong'er, watch carefully. Now I will teach you the moves, power generation methods and corresponding breathing methods of Bajiquan."

Next, Jia Cong couldn't help but study seriously.

The boxing posture of Bajiquan is not complicated, but the way of exerting force is complicated. It requires persistent practice to master its essence.

Soon, a hint appeared in front of Jia Cong.

Bajiquan experience +1
【Bajiquan (beginner) 1/100】
