Chapter 98: The Sounds of Thunder Permeating the Inner Organs (2/2)

Bang! One by one, Wang Chao shifted from the tiger stance to the eagle, monkey, horse, snake, and then finally, the dragon stance!

“The dragon stance joins Yin in order to search for the bones.”

As Wang Chao performed the moves of the dragon stance, a refreshing sensation began to spread throughout his bones and the innermost parts of his muscles.

At the same time, his pores and remained shut so that the Qi remained within his body instead of leaking out.

In that instant, Wang Chao suddenly felt the power within his body explode within throughout his muscles evenly and into his bone marrow. There was a cold and hot sensation that alternated within his body that eventually arrived at where his inner organs were.

Almost as if hit by lightning itself, his inner organs began to tremble, causing Wang Chao to grit his teeth in surprise.

Then, the cold and hot sensation began to meld together to form a warm feeling.

His entire body began to feel warm all over. It was because of this that Wang Chao knew that he had finally been able to coordinate both his external movements with his internal movements so that the Jin had permeated his inner organs.

It was this level of skill that one could be truly said to be cultivating their health. The previous levels were merely to bring out the potential to. When a person exploited their body’s inner potential to the max, it wouldn’t increase their strength by that much afterwards.

But after the power was spread to their inner organs, the inner potential of a person would increase by another strong step. Each and every moment would have the power of a lion, the strength of a tiger, the swiftness of a leopard, and the firmness of an elephant that could only be classified as belonging to the realms of the grandmasters.

“I’ve finally arrived at an extremely crucial opening. This could probably be said to be the same as achieving the Way.”

Collecting his energy, Wang Chao’s breath shot out like an arrow a meter away from him in a ripple like manner through the air.

“To practice the fist is easy, but the challenge lies within obtaining understanding the life of the fist. It can be said that martial arts is simple to learn, but obtaining the Way is difficult to achieve. I cannot tread on this path lightly.”

“Martial arts is easy to practice, but obtaining the Way is hard. Obtaining the Way is hard, but the way of cultivating is even harder!”

Wang Chao’s realization of this idea had taken a moment, but in that moment, he had understood it all. After some time, that feeling of enlightenment had finally begun to recede. To be able to retain this passionate state of mind without it receding away was an even more difficult thing to accomplish.

Guoshu is for the sake of the nation, and for the inspiration of technique. But, in these days, one would sometimes feel the nation in their mind, heart, and fist. To be unwavering and unshakeable from one’s resolve was not an easy thing to accomplish.

A moment of inspiration was easy, a lifetime of inspiration was difficult.

Obtaining the Way was hard, but cultivating the Way was even harder.

In the past few days, Wang Chao had cultivated his health with the essence of the sun and moon while practicing with Liao Junhua. Then, in his fight against Ye Xuan, he had received inspiration. And today, he had finally realized the true meaning to what it meant to practice Guoshu.

His tiger stance, eagle stance, monkey stance, monkey stance, snake stance, and dragon stance could be said to be at a master class. When he struck, the sounds of thunder would be heard with the strength of his Jin as he broke out violently and smoothly.

In the past, the horse was said to be related the dragons of the legend. Tang Zichen’s style of the Assault of Dragon and Snake had taught the dragon stance with the power of the horse stance in it.

Wang Chao had killed Ye Xuan by using the horse stance to break through his opponent’s defenses. Then, with the monkey stance, he used the “Dog passing Water” to break the calf of his opponent before slamming his foot down with the strength of a horse onto the chest to end Ye Xuan’s life.

Two of the three moves he had used in the match had made use of the horse stance.

Wang Chao had understood the true meaning behind the horse stance and had made the connection to reach a level of perfection. With each fist he unleashed, the Jin would rush through his fists along with the sound.

“I must make sure to slowly cultivate my health in the following future. After all twelve stances are learned to the point of Hidden Jin emerging from each one, then I will pursue after the Transforming Jin. By that point, who knows just what bottleneck I must breakthrough?”

“The pinnacle of Chinese boxing is to learn nothing to the point of knowing everything. By then, one is able to foretell danger and dodge accordingly, just what type of realm is this? The road I have yet to walk is a long one.”

“The energy of man has a limit, but they still try to seek the unlimited. A martial artist will forever seek this for the rest of their lives, but it does not mean they will be able to reach such a state and understand. This, is what is truly depressing.”

Wang Chao thought.

Just as Wang Chao was practicing his fist and thinking of his understanding of the way of cultivation for health, Cao Yi and Zhou Liang had both gathered once more in S province.

Right in front of him were several sheets of information.

Naturally, most of the information had to do with Wang Chao.

“I didn’t find the wrong person, how great is that. He was able to kill the genius from Japan, Ye Xuan. That Ye Xuan wasn’t any regular person either, even the loss of a talent like his is quite sorrowful to me.”

“The death or defeat of a genius means he is not a genius. Whether in army, or martial arts, or chess, or in any other aspect, the Japanese will try to find the weak spot of others and try to seize victory. I believe that we able to get rid of a disaster.”

Zhou Liang laughed, “Compared to the Japanese, our training regime is quite gentle.”

“No matter waht, Wang Chao accomplished his mission. He hasn’t failed to live up to our expectations, and his worth is well more than what it was before. But what’s more surprising is the fact that Liao Junhua is an expert as well? The legacy of the oversea grandmaster Zhu Hongzhi and is connected to the American Chinese Association in many ways? This is a problem that requires investigating. This Liao Junhua has a truly hidden secret.”

Cao Yi pointed at the information in front of him.

“In comparison, the princelings from the Ike Corporation are far more transparent than this Liao Junhua. He had hidden his strength so much, who knows just what goals he has?” Zhou Liang spoke.

“Let’s not talk about the matters with the princeling. Let Lin Yanan concentrate on collecting even more information before we talk about it. For now, what has the higher ups decided on doing now?” Cao Yi asked.

He and Zhou Liang were considered to be secret members of the Military Commission’s Organization. Whatever information that came from above would first need to go through Zhou Liang.

“Of course. Wang Chao has been given the rank of lieutenant commander, a rank equivalent to a vice commander of a regiment. Lin Yanan has been promoted to a commander of the regiment as well.” Zhou Liang spoke.

“That’s all?” Cao Yi spoke in confusion, “There isn’t anything else at all? They can’t even join the military, so giving them a military rank is an empty reward isn’t it? No money no food no men no weapons, what’s the point?”
