Douluo: From Luo Sanpao to Creation Yinglong

Chapter 8 Tai Chi Sutra
  sunset.

The orange-yellow glow slanted through the windows into the library.

Beside a certain desk by the window, a handsome boy with a peaceful temperament was quietly flipping through the books in his hand. The rays of sunlight softly reflected on his cheeks, making his temperament even more refined.

Wow, wow, wow...

Although the sound of turning pages is slight, it sounds very frequently. Not long after, the book in the boy's hand reached the last page.

'finish watching. '

Putting down the book, Yuchen pinched his eyebrows hard.

Time flies, and four months have passed in the blink of an eye. During this period of time, Yuchen read a full third of the books in the Lanba Academy library.

As early as the beginning of awakening the memory of his previous life, Yuchen discovered that his memory was much stronger than that of his previous life. Obviously, this is a hidden benefit for travelers.

Most time-travelers have the characteristics of strong mental power and extraordinary understanding, and Yuchen is one of them. Thanks to this, he developed a technique that is close to 'quantum speed reading', and he can absorb a large amount of knowledge at an astonishing speed.

Among them, he placed the classics on meditation and various soul power techniques as his first priority. He read them early and reviewed them frequently.

What Douluo calls meditation is not a method of improving mental power like in the magic world, but internal strength. No, it cannot be called internal strength at all, at most it is the prototype of internal strength.

As we all know, Douluo Continent’s research level on soul power cultivation methods is incredibly low. Tang San, who came from a low-level martial arts world, relied on the "Xuan Tian Gong", a stolen internal skill from a sect that had never been a top-notch sect, Tang San, to achieve a cultivation speed that surpassed those of his peers.

Even ten thousand years later, twenty thousand or thirty thousand years later, there is no soul power cultivation method that can compete with "Xuan Tian Gong".

Putting those classics that record meditation methods and soul power skills as the first priority, Yuchen hopes to summarize and develop a new and efficient cultivation method by himself.

He doesn't expect to create such a powerful technique all at once, but he is still very confident in developing a technique that can double the current cultivation speed.

And his greatest source of confidence is not his superhuman understanding, but Tai Chi.

In Douluo Continent, people must rely on martial arts to enhance their soul power. But Tai Chi can break away from the martial soul and bring him additional soul power growth.

But you must know that the Tai Chi that Yuchen brought from his previous life only has moves, but no internal skills or mental methods.

Without the existence of inner strength and mental skills, just performing a set of movements can increase the soul power. At the beginning, Yuchen was very puzzled.

But after nearly half a year of research, Yuchen has realized that it is not the moves of Tai Chi that improve soul power, but the power of artistic conception generated during boxing.

Yuchen calls it [Tai Chi artistic conception].

The Tai Chi artistic conception of "overcoming hardness with softness", "combining hardness and softness", "coexistence of two elements", and "transformation of yin and yang", invisibly conforms to the laws of heaven and earth, and brings him positive feedback on his soul power.

In other words, the moves are not important, the artistic conception is important.

In his opinion, if you completely control the artistic conception of Tai Chi and can send and receive it from your heart, then your soul power will automatically increase without doing anything.

But this is still far away from Yuchen.

Originally, the artistic conception of Tai Chi only appeared when he was not distracted and wanted to complete a complete set of Tai Chi. One more form, one less form, or he has distracting thoughts, so he can only do useless work. In this case, the growth of soul power is extremely passive, with only a weak improvement every time.

In order to make greater use of the power of artistic conception, Yuchen naturally wanted to optimize Tai Chi.

But after several months of hard work, he could only ensure that the power of artistic conception would appear when he boxed, but he still couldn't actively use it, and he didn't dare to simplify his moves to make them easier.

To put it in a more understandable way, the entire set of Tai Chi is equivalent to a high-scoring answer sheet, and Yuchen is a plagiarist. If he copied it word for word, he would get the same high score (referring to the increase in soul power).

But if he is asked to revise the answer sheet, unless he has sufficient knowledge, it will only be superfluous.

'Try again! '

Having just finished reading a classic, Yuchen had some insights in his heart.

In the empty library, there was no one around the boy. He got off the chair and took a stance in the open space beside him. [Wild horses part their manes, white cranes spread their wings... leopards and tigers return to the mountains, slanting their arms around sparrows' tails...]

After practicing countless times in the past six months, almost every move and style of Tai Chi has been integrated into Yuchen's muscle instinct.

Allowing his body to move on its own, Yuchen spread his mind and sensed the underlying energy. At a certain moment, the Tai Chi artistic conception suddenly appeared, and he immediately threw his mental power into it, trying to draw the power emanating from the artistic conception into his body.

This time, he succeeded!

The meditation method that has been modified several times is consistent with the power of artistic conception. Just for a moment, the soul power running along the meditation method is tainted with a special Tai Chi atmosphere.

At this moment, Yuchen Fuzhi changed his meditation method again and controlled the soul power in his body to move along a new route.

The time of a stick of incense flies by.

When the external boxing method and the internal meditation method are completely consistent, complement each other, and advance and retreat together, the [Tai Chi artistic conception] surrounding Yuchen suddenly becomes twice as mysterious!
  And if we say that the additional soul power passively increased by relying on Tai Chi artistic conception is 0.1, the soul power actively cultivated by meditation is 0.2.

Then, when the two are combined, 0.1+0.2≠0.3 is equal to 0.5!

"call--"

After another stick of incense passed, Yuchen finally stopped practicing and slowly exhaled a long breath.

Feeling the much stronger soul power in his body, he raised the corners of his mouth with satisfaction.

'Level 4 soul power! '

At the beginning of awakening his past life memories, he practiced Tai Chi for twenty days and only gained 0.25 levels of soul power. In the following month, with the meditation method taught to him by Liu Erlong, he increased his soul power by 0.5 levels.

If he follows the soul power growth rate of 0.5 levels per month, he should be at level 3 soul power four months later.

However, soul power cultivation becomes more and more difficult the further you go. The difficulty of increasing soul power at level 1 is completely different from the difficulty of increasing soul power at level 11. Therefore, Yuchen would probably not reach level 3 normally.

However, he improved his meditation method and allowed his martial soul Yinglong to devour dragon blood and dragon flesh every day, so the growth rate of his soul power never showed a decline. Before today, his soul power had not only passed level 3, but was only a hair away from level 4.

Now, this line was easily crossed by him.

'Finally, Tai Chi and meditation are combined, and I can finally give the name I had thought of long ago to this meditation method that has been improved many times - [Tai Chi Heart Sutra]! Tai Chi plus Tai Chi Heart Sutra is the "Tai Chi Sutra". '

While thinking, Yuchen ran the Tai Chi Heart Sutra alone. Soon, the Tai Chi artistic conception that had just disappeared enveloped him again.

But compared to the artistic conception when the boxing technique and the mental technique work together, the degree of mystery of the artistic conception at this moment is far inferior, or even inferior to the artistic conception when the boxing technique is used alone.

'In other words, there is still a lot of room for optimization in boxing and mental skills... There is still a long way to go! '

But at this moment.

A slim figure stepped into the library. After looking around, she found that there was no one in the museum. She rushed straight to Yuchen and said excitedly as she walked:

"Xiaochen, my aunt has exceeded level 60! She is in a good mood and will take you to Tiandou City for shopping and a big meal!"

　Regarding Liu Erlong’s soul power level——

　　Please pay attention to the timeline. This is six years before the plot begins. It is about thirteen years since Liu Erlong first appeared in the original work, and Liu Erlong was about thirty-five years old at this time.

　　In the original work, Qin Ming became the Soul Emperor at the age of thirty-four, the second fastest time in the history recorded by Wuhun Palace. Although this setting was later exploited and Qin Ming could hardly find this person, Liu Erlong was definitely not as fast as him.

　　When Liu Erlong first appeared, he was a soul saint in his seventies. Now that I have become the Soul Emperor, I think it is in line with common sense in the Douluo world to upgrade the Soul Emperor to the Soul Saint stage in the next thirteen years with more than ten levels of soul power. At least the difference won't be too big, and I set it this way because the plot requires it. Hope everyone can accept it.

　　Other.
