Chapter 89: Morning Cultivation
The next day, Qin Tian got up very early, waking up at just five o'clock. Although he had slept relatively late the night before and had even engaged in a fierce battle before bed, Qin Tian's body was far superior to that of ordinary people, and his physical strength had already recovered after just a few hours of sleep.
Qin Tian now felt refreshed and invigorated, his relaxed demeanor making it seem as if he had slept for a long time, with no signs of having only slept for a few hours the night before, not to mention having also engaged in at least an hour and a half of intense exercise.
Qin Tian opened his eyes to find Xiao Mei clinging to him like an octopus, fast asleep. He smiled indulgently and kissed her forehead, gently prying open the arms and legs wrapped around him. He put on a new tracksuit for Xiao Mei, carefully covered her with a thin quilt, and slipped out, quietly closing the door behind him.
Qin Tian arrived at the courtyard, looked up at the hazy sky, took a deep breath, and began to stretch his body.
In the north, summer days may start early, but that's after 5:30. At 5 o'clock, the sky is still gray and dim, in a state of half brightness.
He is now eager to adapt his body to the influence of Tai Chi, when he first obtained the Master-level Tai Chi, coincidentally entered the realm of Heaven and Man Unity, although greatly enhanced his combat power, but caused a serious impact, that is, the spirit is too strong, the flesh is too weak, the two are seriously unequal.
Originally, Qin Tian's combat power was only around 80-90 even if he had obtained the Taichi of the Zongshi level, which was basically consistent with his strengthened body. However, who would have thought that Qin Tian coincidentally entered a rare state of unity between heaven and man, causing his mental power to greatly increase, and his combat power also surged, directly increasing by nearly one fold, reaching over 150 points. Although the soaring combat power was a good thing, Qin Tian's body and mind were no longer matched.
At present, Qin Tian's body still retains the influence of that heaven-man unity, resulting in Qin Tian being unable to cultivate the Body Severing Scripture, and can only try hard to make his body adapt to the influence brought by Taiji.
Now Qin Tian, due to his extremely good luck, has learned several high-level skills, resulting in a significant reduction in his brain capacity. The only solution is to learn the Body Refining Technique, which not only activates the body's potential but also activates the brain's potential, making it more intelligent and leaving more space to learn new skills.
It is estimated that a normal human brain has around 140-150 billion neurons, but less than 10% of them are utilized, with the majority being in a dormant state. Some studies suggest that up to 98.5% of cells are in a dormant state, and some experts believe that only 1% participate in brain function activities.
About 98% of the brain's potential remains undeveloped and unused in normal people, even for scientific elites like Einstein, whose brain development is only around 13%. Qin Tian, despite undergoing genetic enhancement, has only developed about 5% of his brain capacity, and having learned so many advanced skills has almost filled up his memory to the point where learning a bit more would make it explode.
But Qin Tian also had a necessary skill, that was advanced medical skills. Because of his father's serious illness, he needed it to treat him, so Qin Tian got up at five o'clock every day and practiced Tai Chi diligently, just wanting to learn medicine to cure his father's disease, in case the situation where "children want to support their parents but their parents are not around" would happen in the future.
Although Qin Tian wanted to adapt to the influence of the Zongshi-level Tai Chi as soon as possible, you can't become fat by eating just one mouthful, and your body has a certain limit of endurance. If you practice Tai Chi too many times a day, it will be counterproductive, just like meat is delicious, but if you eat too much in one meal, you'll feel uncomfortable.
So Qin Tian could only play a few games every day and stop immediately once his body reached its limit.
Stretching his arms and legs, Qin Tian slightly warmed up before starting today's Tai Chi practice.
Qin Tian stood with his legs apart, knees slightly bent, upper body straight, and palms open to the sides, drawing a circle in mid-air as he assumed the starting position of Tai Chi.
Tai Chi requires the practitioner to calm their mind and focus their intention, breathe naturally, with a relaxed and comfortable posture, soft and slow movements, containing the chest and plucking up the back, sinking the shoulders and dropping the elbows. The movements are continuous and coordinated, with clear distinction between empty and full, light and heavy, and a balance of hard and soft.
And the hands and eyes correspond, with the waist as the axis, moving steps like a cat walking, distinguishing between virtual and real, intention and body following each other, using intention without using force. This is also the reason why Tai Chi looks slow and soft but has great power.
"Wild horse separates its mane, white crane spreads its wings, hand waves the pipa, holds the swallow's tail, advances in single whip..."
One move after another, the Tai Chi moves flowed from Qin Tian's hands like clouds and water, full of beauty. If someone who understood Tai Chi saw it, they would definitely think it strange, because Qin Tian's Tai Chi was different from what ordinary people practiced. Although Qin Tian's movements seemed a bit odd, they were closer to nature and more visually pleasing.
It's not that Qin Tian's punches are problematic, but rather the Tai Chi content he learned is much richer than theirs. The Tai Chi Qin Tian learned is a new creation after 500 years, combining the knowledge of several Tai Chi masters, adding the experience of predecessors, reviewing countless materials, and incorporating some modern high-tech elements.
After 500 years, the top talents of Huaxia are no longer self-contained, but rather inclusive of all rivers. They summarize all knowledge from various industries and continuously accumulate it, eventually turning it into even more powerful knowledge.
Some scholars call that period a great era, because the giant dragon of Huaxia had already begun to take off, which also led to high tension among various national forces, because at that time Huaxia was really too powerful, and with the power of one country, it could be compared to half of the world's total.
This is also why Huaxia was robbed by various national forces after creating a good system, because they were afraid that Huaxia would continue to grow stronger and wipe them out, thus dominating the world. Although Huaxia had never thought of this, they still did not put their minds at ease.
Qin Tian practiced Tai Chi for 30 or 40 rounds, stopping only when he felt his body had reached its limit. After finishing the exercise, Qin Tian felt warm and full of energy all over his body, with a lot of sweat on him. He looked at his phone and found that it was already late, past 8 o'clock, having practiced for more than three hours continuously.
"No wonder, I'm so hungry, it's been three hours already." Qin Tian rubbed his growling stomach and said. He hadn't eaten dinner last night after having an intense battle with Xiao Mei, and this morning he had been exercising for three consecutive hours, his stomach couldn't take it anymore.
"Never mind, I won't practice anymore. My body has already reached its limit. Continuing to practice would not only be useless but also harmful. It's just right to take a bath and go eat." Then he turned around and went back into the room.
