"Five Elements Fist?"
Lu Sheng was visibly surprised after hearing Gao Feng's words. After all, he hadn't thought that the slow progress of the Longevity Posture was related to the Five Elements Fist.
Seeing Lu Sheng's stunned expression, Gao Feng chuckled and said, "You think the Five Elements Fist and the Longevity Posture aren't related? The Five Elements Fist is a martial art technique derived from the Longevity Posture, they complement each other perfectly."
"I've looked at your progress in the Longevity Posture. Even I'm only a bit better than you, but as for the Five Elements Fist... your progress is still quite slow."
"The Five Elements Fist and the Longevity Posture complement each other. Once your progress in the Five Elements Fist increases, your progress in the Longevity Posture will naturally improve too."
Upon hearing this, Lu Sheng gradually understood.
He finally realized why his progress in the Longevity Posture had slowed down; it was due to these two factors.
"It looks like I need to improve the progress of the Five Elements Fist next."
Thinking of this, Lu Sheng looked expectantly at Gao Feng.
Gao Feng practiced the Longevity Posture and had a higher realm than Lu Sheng, which indicated that Gao Feng had considerable expertise in the Five Elements Fist.
"You sly kid."
Gao Feng pointed at Lu Sheng, chuckled, then took a sip of strong tea. His expression gradually grew serious.
Honestly, Lu Sheng's progress in the Longevity Posture was only slightly less than his own. Such a cultivation talent was already quite astonishing.
"This kid might be a martial arts prodigy."
Gao Feng smiled and shook his head, then turned to Lu Sheng, speaking seriously.
"Before practicing the Five Elements Fist, I still need to explain some knowledge about the Longevity Posture to you."
Hearing Gao Feng's words, Lu Sheng understood that what Gao Feng was going to explain next would likely be very insightful.
"The Longevity Posture, though a relatively basic cultivation technique, can have unexpected effects if practiced to perfection."
"This method can greatly enhance a martial artist's patience, even their lifespan. This is why the elders in our human federation now generally live much longer than before."
"Besides, the most important thing about the Longevity Posture... is that once someone practices it to perfection, they can comprehend the unique Mental Realm of the Longevity Posture!"
"And this Mental Realm is called Longevity!"
"Longevity is a martial treasure left by the predecessor who created the Longevity Posture. This predecessor was also the teacher of today's Emperor Bai!"
"Of course, very few martial artists can comprehend Longevity. Even I haven't been able to comprehend it."
When Gao Feng spoke of this, his tone was clearly tinged with regret.
After all, Gao Feng had also painstakingly studied the Longevity Posture for many days, but in the end, he hadn't managed to successfully comprehend Longevity.
Lu Sheng blinked, noting aside from the Longevity Mental Realm, the identity of the Longevity Posture's creator intrigued him.
That person was the teacher of the current Emperor Bai. Even though they had passed away, to train someone as remarkable as Emperor Bai, the Longevity Mental Realm they left behind must be exceptional.
Thinking of this, Lu Sheng felt a sense of anticipation for the Longevity Mental Realm that Gao Feng mentioned.
"Besides, the Five Elements Fist, as a complementary martial art to the Longevity Posture, will also reveal a unique realm to the martial artist once practiced to perfection."
At this moment, Gao Feng continued speaking.
"The Mental Realm of the Five Elements Fist is divided into five parts, namely the Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth Realms. Each martial artist who practices the Five Elements Fist will comprehend different realms."
"The realm I comprehended... is the Jia Wood Realm of the Five Elements!"
With that, Gao Feng stood up from his chair.
In an instant, an aura filled with boundless vitality surged from Gao Feng's body. He threw a punch, which felt like a lush tree sprouting from the ground, radiating endless vitality.
"The Jia Wood Realm represents the energy of Yang Wood, like a towering tree, full of vigor!"
"Under this move, the boundless vitality envelops one, bursting forth with immense power!"
Gao Feng's voice echoed in Lu Sheng's ears, and Lu Sheng stared intently at Gao Feng's movements, seemingly entranced.
Under Gao Feng's demonstration, Lu Sheng also began to practice the Five Elements Fist unconsciously.
Although the gap between him and Gao Feng was still significant, Lu Sheng's progress was rapid with continuous practice.
[Ding, Five Elements Fist proficiency +1]
[Ding, Five Elements Fist proficiency +1]
[Ding, Five Elements Fist proficiency +1]
In front of Lu Sheng, the system notifications kept appearing.
In no time, an hour passed. Under Gao Feng's demonstration and guidance, Lu Sheng's progress in the Five Elements Fist was swift.
In just an hour, his proficiency increased by five points.
By now, Lu Sheng finally understood why Gao Feng said the Five Elements Fist and the Longevity Posture complemented each other.
With his Longevity Posture proficiency level reaching level four, during his practice of the Five Elements Fist under Gao Feng's guidance, the insights from the high-level Longevity Posture also pushed Lu Sheng's understanding of the Five Elements Fist.
This was why Lu Sheng's proficiency in the Five Elements Fist surged by five points in just an hour!
"Alright, it's about time for today. Let's call it a day!"
Gao Feng looked at the sweat-drenched Lu Sheng and couldn't help but smile as he spoke, noticing Lu Sheng's progress in the Five Elements Fist and feeling increasingly satisfied with Lu Sheng.
"Tomorrow is the mid-term exam. It's not suitable to practice too late today. Save some energy for tomorrow's exam, which is extremely important for you."
"Of course, do not practice too late when you go back. After all, the path of cultivation requires a balance between work and rest, understood?"
Gao Feng reminded Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng chuckled, wiped the sweat off his body, and said to Gao Feng, "Understood, Teacher Gao, I will head out now!"
With that, Lu Sheng packed up his belongings and turned to leave Gao Feng's office.
"That rascal…"
Watching Lu Sheng's departing figure, Gao Feng couldn't help but chuckle and curse.
"This kid's martial arts talent... really isn't bad. His progress in the Longevity Posture is almost catching up to mine. Even his understanding of the Five Elements Fist... is quite impressive."
"The most significant thing... is this kid's Qi Blood..."
Gao Feng murmured, squinting his eyes.
"His Qi Blood has already reached 70 calories, yet he shows no signs of hitting a limit. Even Yang Meng struggled when his Qi Blood reached 70 calories."
"At this rate, reaching the 80 calorie mark in Qi Blood should not be difficult for this kid. Who knows... he might even reach higher!"
