Chapter 14 - Awakening Four Styles

　　The sky had already brightened again, Zhou Fan sat up, he didn't know how long he could stay inside the Gray River Space, but he could feel that the flow of time inside was faster than the world he was in, as to what was the ratio? 　　Zhou Fan frowned, he didn't calculate it deliberately, or he would test it properly the next time he entered, there were some issues that needed his attention right now. 　　Who was that old man called Mist? Does he harbor any malice towards himself? 　　Zhou Fan thought for a while and still could not confirm it, but for the time being, he could treat it as no malice, he just had to keep a vigilant mind. 　　The most crucial thing was fishing, Zhou Fan knew that the Gray River was full of monsters, and he recalled the situation when Misty held the gray pole and caught that monster. 　　Which monsters were fishing for? That meant the most likely thing to catch was monsters. 　　There was also something that made Zhou Fan a little concerned about the inconsistent color of the fishing rods, did the colors have another meaning that he didn't know about? 　　To use his own lifespan as bait, just to catch which monsters in the river? What purpose did the monsters serve for himself? 　　Misty had a disinterested attitude about whether or not he was fishing, so was it a feigned attitude? Could it be that he was deliberately luring himself to fish? 　　Zhou Fan thought about it and thought that the fog really didn't care whether he fished or not, because even the matter of using his life as bait was said, if he was deliberately trying to lure himself, he shouldn't have told himself such unfavorable things, after all, knowing that he would have to use his own life as bait, whoever would have hesitated to reject it would have been right. 　　But it may not be, Misty said that he didn't have to pay the price the first time, or did he think that if he fished once, he would never be able to quit again, and was willing to give his life span to continue fishing? 　　Lastly, there's the question of boarding the ship. Thinking back on what Misty said, he wasn't the first person to show up on that ship, so what happened to the other people who boarded it? Dead? Or did they board at some other time? 　　Is it possible that he could have met those boarders? What would they think of him if he did? Strangers? Enemies? Friends? 　　Misty said there were several who jumped ship. Why did they do it? Is there any danger on the boat? 　　Zhou Fan calmly pondered and combed through these questions one by one, most of which could not be answered yet, but at least when he entered the Gray River space again and encountered a situation, he would not be in a panic. 　　There is a second entry into the Gray River space, there will be a third ...... fourth ...... 　　After breakfast, both Mr. and Mrs. Zhou Yi Mu were busy and didn't take long to leave home. 　　Only Zhou Fan was left in the house, originally at the age of fifteen he had already started doing some farm work for the family, but now the Zhou Yi Mu couple naturally wouldn't let Zhou Fan do the farm work, Zhou Fan also had to practice martial arts. 　　Even if there are only four days, even if they know in their hearts that this temporary behavior may not work, but as long as there is a glimmer of hope, Mr. and Mrs. Zhou Yi Mu are not willing to let go. 　　Zhou Fan also understands that he is their son, if he dies, the couple's hope in this world will be destroyed, they are really good to themselves, the lack of parental love in his previous life did not expect to feel it here, Zhou Fan's heart is warm. 　　Zhou Fan didn't waste any more time, he came to the backyard and started practicing the first four stances of the Twelve Styles of Tiger Form. 　　The first four styles of the Twelve Tiger Forms were known as the Four Styles of Awakening, which were Fierce Tiger Stretching, Fierce Tiger Washing Claws, Fierce Tiger Bouncing Legs, and Fierce Tiger Shaking Hair, which were the four movements of the Fierce Tiger Awakening. 　　Zhou Fan crouched down with his legs slightly bent, then his hands formed a claw shape and made a waist stretching movement from bottom to top, his lumbar, thoracic and cervical vertebrae then stretched out, and the muscles of his upper body slowly loosened up, and then his claws swung down from top to bottom, and the whole spine bowed back, and his waist and back curved like a big bow, and the muscles of his upper body suddenly tensed up. 　　It was in this way, between the relaxation and tensing, Zhou Fan's breathing also followed the changes. 　　After Zhou Fan completed the three movements of the fierce tiger stretching his waist, he felt that his muscles were slightly tingling all over his body. 　　"The rhythm of breathing is a little off, the Qi that was sucked back did not completely reach the acupoints required by the Mighty Tiger Stretching." Zhou Fan shook his head, a look of dissatisfaction on his face. 　　Zhou Fan kept practicing the Fierce Tiger Stretching, constantly correcting his movements until he was satisfied to stop and rest after more than twenty times, when his breathing was completely consistent with his movements. 　　Apart from his sore muscles, his body was also steaming hot, as if he had taken a hot bath. The Twelve Tiger Forms had depicted that this was the state that should occur when practicing the Fierce Tiger Stretching, otherwise it was practiced incorrectly. 　　Zhou Fan spirit, he began to practice the second style fierce tiger wash claws, fierce tiger wash claws wash is the front claws, for people is to exercise the muscle groups of the arms, Zhou Fan imitated the fierce tiger wash claws action, began to exhale and inhale, until the tenth time, it will be completely meticulous action. 　　His arms had a rolling sensation, and the difficulty of the Mighty Tiger's claw-washing action was obviously much simpler than the Mighty Tiger's waist-stretching. 　　Zhou Fan rested for a while and started the third style of Fierce Tiger Bouncing Legs, Zhou Fan stood up upside down and started kicking his legs backward one after another, the Fierce Tiger Bouncing Legs practiced not only the muscle groups of the legs, but also played a very good exercise for the arms, but the difficulty factor was also the highest among the three styles. 　　Mighty tiger stretching waist practice is the upper body chest, abdomen, waist and back muscle groups, Mighty tiger washing claws and Mighty tiger popping leg is exercise the limbs muscle groups, so that alone these three styles will almost all the human body muscle groups are involved. 　　It took a full morning for Zhou Fan to completely master the Fierce Tiger Bouncing Leg. 　　His limbs were already somewhat cramped from the countless times he had supported them, Zhou Fan was covered in sweat and could no longer practice before he had no choice but to stop. 　　Zhou Fan also understood the reasoning of "speed is not enough", but after five days, he would have to report to the patrol team, and at that time, it would no longer be possible to have so much time to practice, and it was not known whether he had the life to practice or not. 　　If he could, Zhou Fan even hoped to use these five days to cross the first threshold of martial arts, stepping into the early stage of strength realm that Lu Kui had mentioned, but it should be difficult, but one should always make an effort to try. 　　At noon, Mr. and Mrs. Zhou Yi Mu did not return, so Zhou Fan went to the cookhouse by himself to eat the rest of this morning's meal and rested for a while. 　　After he became refreshed and got up he once again went to the small backyard of his mud house, in the afternoon he was going to practice the 'Fierce Tiger Shaking Hair'. 　　This was the last of the four movements of the 'Twelve Tiger Forms' Awakening, and it was also the most important of the four movements, whether or not he could cross the threshold of the martial arts path depended on this last movement. 　　The four movements of the tiger's awakening, the key to the tiger's shaking hair is in the word 'shaking'. 　　Zhou Fan's limbs touched the ground, lying on the ground, his eyes glaring at the front, just like a fierce tiger.
