Chapter 15 No Talent

　　Tiger shaking hair may just want to shake off the dust on the body, but it plays an important role in coordinating its whole body muscles, this spiral shaking force is the whole body muscles are shaking, is a kind of integration of the spine, joints, limbs on all the muscle groups, so that they are twisted into a ball can be used with a powerful force. 　　Whether it is a tiger or a human being, if the muscles can not be integrated and mobilized, then it is each in its own way, and the block is practiced even bigger, then it can not be effective to play the force. 　　Just like a punch, inexperienced ordinary people, he punched just play the muscle power of the upper limbs, but the martial artist can waist horse unity, with the help of lumbar vertebrae muscle power, let their own swings become more ferocious and powerful punches. 　　Zhou Fan was lying on the ground, just like a fierce tiger, he first let himself relax all over, intending to be able to achieve a state where his whole body was empty and loose. 　　When Zhou Fan felt that he could, his whole body suddenly shook, and two extremely slight muffled sounds could be heard from his body. 　　Zhou Fan quickly frowned and shook his head, not to mention the problem of breathing rhythm, is the kind of muscle shaking can not be synchronized, he just now limbs muscle shaking too fast, other parts of the muscle groups instead of keeping up with the rhythm. 　　Zhou Fan thought about it and simply gave up on the breathing problem, he first started practicing the rhythmic problem of synchronizing his muscles when shaking. 　　Practice was always boring, constantly correcting the posture after failing over and over again, trying to synchronize the muscles to shake as much as possible. 　　It took a full hour for Zhou Fan to achieve the synchronized muscle shaking of the tiger shaking its hair, and his posture was impeccable, every time he shook his body, there was a crunching sound, just like the sound of countless military boots stepping on the concrete slab in unison, and this neat sound signified that he finally achieved the synchronization of the shaking. 　　However, Zhou Fan felt a tightness in his chest, he knew that this was because the breathing rhythm was not right, he began to try to adjust his breathing again in the middle of the movement. 　　Gradually after another half an hour, when Zhou Fan synchronized his muscles in unison every time he 'Mighty Tiger Shaking Hair', that breathing also became a unique rhythm of three inhalations and one exhalation. 　　The Mighty Tiger Shaking Hair was also practiced to perfection by Zhou Fan, Zhou Fan stood up, he struck a fist into the air, and even felt the muscles of his body tremble slightly along with it. 　　However, completing the Mighty Tiger Shaking Hair was just the beginning. 　　Zhou Fan rested for a while, went back to the house and drank a mouthful of water, after his mental and physical state returned, he stood on the dirt ground in the backyard with a grave expression on his face, turned his hands into claws, and started practicing from the Mighty Tiger Stretching Waist. 　　After the tiger stretches the waist correctly, is the tiger washes the claws, the tiger washes the claws to complete, Zhou Fan hands a brace upside down, make the tiger pops the leg. 　　Just kicking from the Mighty Tiger Bouncing Leg, Zhou Fan quickly flipped a heel upright back, because his Mighty Tiger Bouncing Leg action missed. 　　What he wanted was to articulate the Fierce Tiger Four Styles together flawlessly, and this was to be considered as completing the Soothing Four Styles cultivation of the Twelve Styles of Tiger Form once. 　　Starting from the beginning again, the Fierce Tiger Stretching, the Fierce Tiger Shuffling Claws and then the Fierce Tiger Bouncing Legs all had no problem, except that Zhou Fan still made a mistake when he landed on his feet and turned into the Fierce Tiger Shaking Hair. 　　The third time, the fourth time until the fifth time, Zhou Fan's limbs touched the ground and shivered. 　　Snapping with a crunch, three inhalations and one exhalation, the muscles from relaxation to tautness, Zhou Fan just felt that time seemed to slow down, he could feel the flow of a special qi wrapped around his body. 　　Unfortunately, it was as if this qi was separated by a film, never able to penetrate into Zhou Fan's body. 　　In just an instant, Zhou Fan was able to get out of this state. 　　"Is that Qi the Yuan Qi?" Zhou Fan's face changed slightly. 　　Whether it was the copy of the Twelve Tiger Form Styles or the words spoken by Lu Kui, practicing these four styles of Su Wake in one go was able to inhale the Yuan Qi of the heavens and the earth, thus quenching his physical body, thus causing his strength to increase greatly, which was considered as crossing the threshold of the martial arts path and becoming a true martial artist! 　　As for what to do in order to inhale heaven and earth yuan qi? 　　Lu Kui's saying was to practice hard, practicing more often and having a talent for martial arts himself, then there would always be a day when he would be able to draw Yuan Qi into his body. 　　Zhou Fan was sure that his movements were done exactly according to the copy of the Twelve Tiger Styles, as long as there was nothing wrong with the copy, then his movements were absolutely standard, even if there were subtle differences, it wouldn't be too big. 　　Of course, being able to realize the existence of Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi so quickly was also caused by Zhou Fan's movements being too standard. 　　Zhou Fan began practicing again and again, unfortunately until the evening, Zhou Fan managed to complete the Four Styles of Awakening several times, and each time, he could perceive the presence of the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, but he was never able to let it enter his body. 　　Zhou Fan patted the dust on his body, it was already a great gain to have this kind of progress today, and the matter of drawing Yuan Qi into the body might not be in a hurry. 　　After all, it took the original Lu Kui a month to cross the threshold of martial arts. 　　Besides, Zhou Fan could clearly feel that his strength had increased quite a bit after a day of cultivation. 　　It was only when Zhou Fan came to Lu Kui's house that night, and he told Lu Kui about the state of his cultivation during the day, that he realized the seriousness of the matter. 　　"You mean to say that you were able to complete the four styles of Awakening in one go, and that you also sensed the presence of heaven and earth vital energy?" Lu Kui was filled with astonishment and asked again with some disbelief. 　　Zhou Fan nodded affirmatively. 　　"Then you practice it here once and I'll see." Lu Kui scratched his head and said. 　　The hall space in Lu Kui's house was very vast, so Zhou Fan practiced the Four Styles of Awakening once in the hall, due to practicing quite a few times during the day, Zhou Fan, who had long been familiar with the Four Styles, passed it once. 　　Zhou Fan once again felt the heaven and earth Yuan Qi around him, just for a moment, he detached himself from that state, he stood up and patted the dust on his palms to look at Lu Kui. 　　Lu Kui's face looked strange, there was surprise and even more incomprehension in his eyes. 　　"Big Brother Lu?" 　　Zhou Fan called out to Lu Kui before Lu Kui came back to his senses, he smiled bitterly and said, "Ah Fan, I don't know what to say to that." 　　"Brother Lu can say whatever comes to mind." Zhou Fan also sensed that something was wrong. 　　"First of all, it's your Awakening Four Styles moves ......," Lu Kui paused for a moment as he scratched his head, "I'm not sure if your moves are right or not, but when you practiced it, it gave me the feeling as if a real tiger had just awakened , I personally think your moves are done ...... beautifully." 　　"But ......" Lu Kui said and frowned again, "something is wrong." 　　"What's not right? Is my breathing rhythm wrong?" Zhou Fan asked in a hurry. 　　"It's hard to see the rhythm of breathing in the four styles of the Sojourn, only you know if it's right or not." Lu Kui shook his head, "That's not what I'm talking about, but your state is not right." 　　"Condition?" Zhou Fan froze, he was a little confused. 　　"Fan, for you to be able to complete the Four Styles of Awakening in one day is definitely one of the fastest progresses I've seen, back then, it took me a month to actually complete the Four Styles of Awakening once." Lu Kui said with a complicated expression, "This I told you last night, but what I didn't tell you in detail is that if once you truly complete the Suwakening Four Styles once again to detect the heaven and earth yuan qi ......" 　　"Then the body should be able to automatically inhale the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi!" 　　Zhou Fan's face changed slightly, he understood what Lu Kui meant, that is to say, the problem was that since he had completed the Four Styles of Awakening and could sense the existence of the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, then he should be able to absorb the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi. 　　When he was practicing during the day, Zhou Fan thought that he had not practiced enough times to be able to absorb the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, but now that he heard Lu Kui say this, there was a big problem with this at all. 　　"Then what is the problem?" Zhou Fan opened his mouth. 　　"This is not quite clear." Lu Kui said with a bitter smile, "I'm just a big old man, and I don't understand why it's like this? Is there any mention of this problem inside the codex?" 　　"Inside the codex there is only the method of cultivation, and there isn't anything that says what to do to solve the problem." Zhou Fan frowned and asked, "What if I let Brother Lu guess? Even a guess might be useful to me." 　　"If you let me guess ah." Lu Kui was silent for a moment before he slowly said, "I have two guesses, the first one is that the way you cultivate might not be right." 　　"My way is not right?" Zhou Fan thought back, from the movements of the Four Styles of Awakening to the movement of the gases from his breath in the acupoints, he still couldn't find out what was wrong, "What about the second guess?" 　　Lu Kui's face showed a look of intolerance as he sighed, "Maybe you don't have a talent for martial arts, that's why you can't draw the gas into your body." 　　Lu Kui vaguely felt that this was the reason for the problem, in his heart he felt a little sorry, after all, this Zhou Fan was very smart and had a strong comprehension, it only took him one day to complete the Four Styles of Awakening, but it was a pity that he did not have any martial arts talent. 　　"No talent?"...... "Zhou Fan looked down at his hands, his mood became subtle. 　　Lu Kui coughed and hurriedly consoled, "This is just me talking nonsense, it may not be accurate, in fact, I think you don't need to be too anxious, go back and practice for a good period of time, you may be able to draw Yuan Qi into your body very soon, after all, I had to practice hard for a while before I could draw Qi into my body." 　　In response to Lu Kui's consolation, Zhou Fan just smiled, his eyes were clear and he didn't have any sense of frustration, instead, he opened his mouth and asked, "Brother Lu, if there is no martial arts talent that leads to it, is there a way for one to smoothly draw Yuan Qi into the body?" 　　Zhou Fan had to prepare for the worst case scenario, especially since the reason could very well be caused by his lack of martial arts talent, if that was the case, then his path to martial arts would be cut off, unable to embark on the path of martial arts, and in the future, when he faced those strange and treacherous people, the level of danger would increase drastically. 　　"This shouldn't be there." Lu Kui said so, but a hint of hesitation appeared on his face. 　　Zhou Fan accurately captured the expression on Lu Kui's face and asked softly, "Brother Lu, is there a way? And you think it's too difficult aka too ridiculous, that's why you're not willing to say it." 　　Lu Kui couldn't imagine that he would let Zhou Fan guess, he smiled bitterly and said, "This is all for you to see, if you want to hear it, then I'll just say it, but you shouldn't hold too much expectation, in fact, I've also heard it occasionally, it may not be accurate." 　　"I heard that there is a divine elixir in this world that can make up for the defects of a person's body, thus allowing someone who is unable to step over the threshold of martial arts to easily cross the threshold." 　　The pupils of Zhou Fan's eyes became bright as he asked, "What is the name of that kind of elixir?" 　　Lu Kui let out a bitter smile and shook his head, "Fan, I am just the patrol leader of Sanqiu Village, do you think I would know the name of that elixir? I advise you not to think too much about it, even if there really is a spiritual elixir, it's not something that people like us can wish for." 　　"Then how likely do you think this kind of elixir exists?" Zhou Fan asked after some thought. 　　Lu Kui was silent for a moment and said, "I think this kind of elixir absolutely exists." 　　"What about the reason? Brother Lu, you're not comforting me, are you?" 　　Lu Kui couldn't help but laugh, "This really isn't consoling you, I really do think so because I've truly heard people talk about it, even if elixirs that allow people to easily cross a realm definitely exist, this kind of elixir that compensates for physical defects should also exist." 　　"If that's the case, then where would this kind of elixir be available?" Zhou Fan asked with a sigh. 　　Lu Kui was unable to give an answer to this question, the two men's question about the elixir was cut off at this point, Zhou Fan began to recite the middle four of the back eight stances of the Twelve Styles of Tiger Forms again, even though he was unable to get started for the time being, Zhou Fan did not give up on learning the Twelve Styles of Tiger Forms. 　　He had already learned the first four styles, so he advanced to learn the middle four styles. 　　For Zhou Fan to do so, Lu Kui did not stop him, although Tian Liang Li had a rule that The Twelve Styles of Tiger Form was not allowed to be taught out, but as a prospective member of the patrol team, it was not considered a violation of the rules if Zhou Fan wanted to learn it. 　　After asking Lu Kui for advice and it was nearing midnight, Zhou Fan went straight home. 　　Back home, Mr. and Mrs. Zhou Yi Mu did not ask anything, but only urged Zhou Fan to go to bed. 　　Zhou Fan likewise did not say much, he could see the exhaustion in the eyes of Mr. and Mrs. Zhou Yi Mu that he could not hide. 　　Zhou Yi Mu had to run around during the day for Zhou Fan's affairs, while the family's farming work all fell on Gui Feng, especially the key is, Zhou Fan's longevity as well as joining the patrol team will face the predicament, all of which put them under tremendous pressure, both psychological and physical pressure, of course, they will feel very tired. 　　Zhou Fan was unable to do anything for them for the time being, so he could only remain silent, and did not even talk about the problems he encountered in practicing martial arts, saying so would only make his poor parents even more worried. 　　Zhou Fan washed up and then lay on his bed, looking at the hazy yellow light emanating from the oil lamp, his brows knitted deeply. 　　He was thinking that if he really did not have a talent for martial arts, then how should he go about it? 　　The best way was to find an elixir to make up for the lack of talent, but as Lu Kui said, these elixirs were extremely expensive, so how easy could it be? 　　Zhou Fan felt a little tired as he thought about it, he closed his eyes and quickly fell asleep. 　　A gray mist still floated around, Zhou Fan looked at the familiar mist and he sighed.
