Volume 1: Turbulence on Earth Chapter 4: Cultivating External Strength
"Grandfather, I've read books for a few years, so I'll just go to university directly. As for these few years, hehe, I want to practice martial arts." Ou Yang Jue Yu said with a faint smile.
Reading books? I was more capable than any PhD supervisor at the age of three, going to university is just a formality. As for practicing martial arts in recent years, it's not bad, but it's not about internal skills, but rather external family skills. Now, internal skills can't compare to my own true skill cultivation. External family skills may not be as good as internal skills for others, but they have a great effect on me who wants to cultivate the indestructible golden body of nine turns, because the primary condition for cultivating the indestructible golden body of nine turns is to cultivate external skills to reach the pre-heavenly realm.
Ouyang Tiande burst out laughing and said: "Alright, tomorrow Grandfather will personally teach you how to cultivate our Ouyang family's Snowy Sun Divine Art."
"Grandfather, you misunderstood me. I didn't say I wanted to cultivate internal power, what I want to cultivate is external power." Ouyang Jieyu said calmly.
"External skills? Our family's Xue Yang Shen Gong is much stronger than those external skills, Xiao Yu you must think clearly." Ou Yang Wu Liang exclaimed.
"And besides, cultivating external skills is much more difficult than internal ones. You'd better think carefully about it, Yu'er." Li Rulan said worriedly.
"Yes, otherwise it's better to cultivate both internal and external skills than just focusing on external skills." Ouyang Wuqian said worriedly.
Everyone discussed it one by one, and the general idea was that cultivating internal skills is better than external skills.
Ouyang Tiande looked at this extraordinary grandson, recalling the words of that immortal elder, and his heart stirred. He calmly asked, "Yu'er, cultivating external skills is very bitter and difficult. Can you persevere?"
"Grandpa, don't worry, this little difficulty can't bring down your grandson."
"Alright, it's settled then. Tomorrow, Yu'er, you'll go to the family's secret chamber to choose a cultivation method. Once you've chosen one, you can decide when to start cultivating." Ouyang Tiande said with a nod.
…………………………
Ouyang Shijia's family was in the artificial circular lake, where a figure was constantly swimming. It was Ouyang Jiayu. According to his understanding of external skills, although swimming is ordinary, it is an excellent way to cultivate body coordination and flexibility. Therefore, Ouyang Jiayu continued to swim in the circular lake.
"I really want to stop." Ouyang Jueyu gritted her teeth, continuously waving her arms and kicking her legs in sync with the water. She had already swum ten laps, each lap of this circular lake was at least 200 meters, so ten laps would be 2 kilometers. Her legs ached, her arms felt sour, her head was dizzy, she had reached her limit.
"I didn't think my physical body was still so pathetic, I've only used my physical energy to swim ten laps and I'm already at my limit." Ouyang Jueyu smiled self-deprecatingly, but then a hint of ruthlessness appeared in her eyes. If she couldn't even endure this bit of suffering, how could she cultivate the Nine Turns Indestructible Golden Body?
Staring intently ahead, he kept urging himself to speed up. At this moment, Ouyang Jueyu's swollen head suddenly felt a slight relief, and his arms and legs seemed to regain their strength. Ouyang Jueyu clearly felt that another surge of energy had emerged from his body, which came out of nowhere but arose naturally. His eyes sparkled with excitement.
Beyond the limits.
He enjoys the feeling, every time he transcends his physical limits, his exhausted body produces another surge of power from deep within, and he even feels the change in his body, which is the hidden potential deep within.
Take a deep breath and swing your arms freely again, five laps, ten laps...
Ouyang Jiayu struggled to the shore, at this moment he was unable to move, especially his arms were completely immobile, and his legs were sore. He lay there panting, taking deep breaths of fresh air, trying to recover as soon as possible. His divine sense carefully observed every part of his body, feeling that it wasn't time to rest yet.
Taking a deep breath again, he exerted himself to run with his legs. The first step was painful, and his legs felt sore, but after running for a while, his legs became more energetic instead. Ou Yang Jiu Yu couldn't help but reveal a triumphant smile at the corner of her mouth. Under Xian Shi's observation, her physical body would definitely receive the most suitable training plan. Nothing could compare to external skills.
Li Rulan painfully watched her son desperately training "Yu'er is really something, why must he cultivate external skills?"
Ouyang Tiande watched Ouyang Jueyu training, his eyes full of admiration. In five years, the other side will come, and with Yu'er's talent, she will definitely be selected. At that time... Ah, a complex look flashed in his eyes, seemingly happy yet reluctant. It seems that he should hurry up and let Yu'er marry that girl from the Murong family, otherwise, the Ouyang family... Suddenly, he remembered the birthday banquet ten years ago when Murong Shi discussed something with him, Ouyang Tiande couldn't help but burst out laughing...
Ouyang Jiayu trains every day according to her physical condition, using Xian Shi Bu to restrict gravity, and then either runs or does deep squats under the restricted gravity, or swims to her limit, or practices boxing while submerged in water with resistance.
Acting under gravity all day, flexibility training, agility training, speed training...
Various training methods, according to certain rules, Ouyang Qiyu conducts all-round training on himself. In each training session, he constantly breaks through physiological limits, causing his bones and muscles to change rapidly.
At night, he practiced the Seven Stars Primordial Infant Technique to absorb energy and his cultivation grew more profound with each passing day. Two years later, in the woods behind the Ou Yang family's mountain...
"For three whole days now" Ouyang Jueyu leaned against a large tree, looking up at the sky.
Since practicing external skills, under the observation and continuous adjustment of one's own immortal awareness, the body has been constantly breaking through physiological limits, and bones and muscles have also undergone rapid transformation. However, in the past three days, there hasn't been a single bit of progress.
"It seems that my physical body has reached its peak in external skills, which is also the limit of acquired skills."
Ouyang Jueyu suddenly smiled, with the help of the immortal sense, at most in another ten days, he would be able to break through to the Xiantian realm, and then he could cultivate the Nine Turns Indestructible Golden Body. In the past, it was necessary to reincarnate and re-cultivate, and refining the body was just a waste of time. So, unexpectedly getting this body-refining technique until now has not been cultivated yet, unfortunately, there are only three turns of this technique, that is to say, only in the Zhēn realm's technique. Never mind, let's talk about it later, anyway, it's also an unexpected gain.
Suddenly, she thought of the past two years where she had been constantly cultivating and breaking through, but hadn't had time to spar with Grandfather and the others. A profound smile played on Ouyang Jieyu's lips.
Ouyang Tiande, who was reading in the study, suddenly sneezed inexplicably and shook his head, muttering to himself: "Strange, who is plotting against me? Could it be those two old fossils, Dongfang and Ximen?"
The next morning, in the training grounds of the Ouyang family, more than 20 of the best members of the family were staring intently at the head of the family, Ouyang Tian De, as he practiced his martial arts. Every day, without fail, Ouyang Tian De would come to the training grounds to practice his fist and footwork, a habit he had cultivated over many years. As one of the top ten masters in the world, watching him casually demonstrate his skills was beneficial for their own cultivation and understanding, so it had become a daily habit for the family members to gather and watch.
In the arena, Ouyang Tiande's expression was solemn and his body floated slightly, his palm shadow fluttering and his palm energy surging horizontally. The onlookers' spirits were stirred up as they watched. A moment later, Ouyang Tiande exhaled a breath, withdrew his palms, and stood upright.
A burst of applause awakened the crowd from their reverie, and Ouyang Jiu's mouth curved into a beautiful arc as he walked slowly to the center of the stage with a smile: "Grandfather is indeed worthy of being the first of the top ten masters of today, this palm technique has already grasped three flavors."
"Haha" Ouyang Tiande laughed heartily and said warmly, "Yu'er is here today too, do you like this palm technique? Grandpa will teach you."
Ouyang Jueyu smiled mysteriously and said, "Grandfather, I came here today to spar with you."
"Oh, want to spar with Grandpa? Hehe, could it be that my grandson has practiced some extraordinary divine skill?" Ouyang Tiande joked.
"Grandpa, I'm going to use the external family kung fu I've been practicing for two years to defeat you." He secretly smiled to himself, thinking that if he could beat him, he would be free from now on.
More than 20 elite members of the Ou Yang family around him smiled kindly, "Defeat the master of the house?" I'm afraid that no one among today's martial artists would dare to say such a thing.
Ouyang Tiande couldn't help but stroke his beard and smile, although this precious grandson of his had an extremely high talent and astonishing willpower, how old was he after all? Could it be possible that with just two years of training in external family martial arts, he could defeat him? He smiled slightly and said: "Alright, let's see how Yu'er defeats Grandfather today."
Ouyang Jiaoyu's mouth curled up in a sly smile, and he said with relish, "Be careful, Grandpa, I'm going to make my move." After finishing speaking, his hand formed into a fist and threw out the most ordinary Black Tiger Steals Heart strike.
The onlookers all knew this move and couldn't help but shake their heads. The number one of the current top ten masters using a common Black Tiger Steals Heart? The outcome was obvious without even thinking about it.
Ouyang Tiande initially thought the same way, thinking that his grandson didn't understand anything about fist techniques or palm methods. But when the punch was approaching, he realized it wasn't so simple. This seemingly ordinary punch had enveloped his entire body, and he couldn't dodge it. Helpless, he could only use a successful force to swing his right palm up to suppress it.
With a split of their fists and palms, Ou Yang Tian De and Ou Yang Yu withdrew one step each. The collision of their fists and palms surprisingly didn't produce any sound. Everyone couldn't help but widen their eyes in shock. Ou Yang Tian De was also startled - his own grandson clearly didn't have internal energy, yet relying solely on physical strength could already fight him to a draw. Moreover, looking at his relaxed appearance, he should have only used a bit of strength, and coincidentally exactly countered his one successful strike. Was this coincidence or intentional? If it were just a coincidence, that would be easy to explain, but if it were intentional... Thinking about this, Ou Yang Tian De couldn't help but get excited, loudly shouting: "Yu Er, let's do it again!" After speaking, he mobilized his five successful strikes and swung his palm over.
Ouyang Qiyu smiled calmly, Black Tiger Stole Heart again, another move of Black Tiger Stole Heart, fists and palms clashed and they each retreated a step, the situation was the same as before.
Ouyang Tiande's heart was as clear as a mirror this time, and his own grandson was absolutely no worse than himself, or even stronger. He was indeed the genius of the Ouyang family! Ouyang Tiande became even more delighted, closed his eyes and smiled: "Yu'er, let's do it again. This time Grandpa will go all out!" With that, he fully activated the eighth layer of Snow Sun God Technique and attacked.
Ouyang Jueyu controlled his strength to about 80% of Ouyang Tiande's, and launched a series of known palm techniques, fist techniques, finger techniques, leg techniques, etc. to fight against Ouyang Tiande. Only to see Ouyang Tiande's body floating, palm shadows fluttering, palm energy surging, while Ouyang Jueyu was also stepping on the mysterious footwork, various palm techniques, fist techniques, finger techniques, and leg techniques kept appearing, and not a single move was repeated. The surrounding crowd watched with their eyes wide open, and a word emerged in their minds: strong.
But Ouyang Tiande was getting more and more shocked, his full force Snow Sun God Gong couldn't even touch the corner of Sun Er's clothes, and the martial arts moves used by Sun Er were all unseen before. Could it be because of those ten years in the Cuiyu Mountain Villa? It should be like that, the immortal elder said back then that after ten years we would try to wait, I guess it was referring to this. Thinking about it, his eyes lit up, with these martial arts moves, the Ouyang family's martial power could rise to another level!
"Alright, alright, I admit defeat!" Ouyang Tiande shouted repeatedly.
Everyone was stunned, the invincible master of the house had actually lost. They immediately looked at this 15-year-old young master with reverence. When Ouyang Jueyu practiced external family kung fu, they all knew a little about it, mainly because Ouyang Jueyu didn't hide it. After practicing external family kung fu for two years, he could actually defeat the master of the house. Everyone's admiration for Ouyang Jueyu had reached its limit, and they secretly made up their minds to please this young master, so that the young master would guide them in their own cultivation.
