He suddenly stopped, not knowing how to address Yang Feng. Others teach each other precious skills, so logically he should be called master, but there is no master-disciple etiquette between the two parties.
Yang Feng seemed to have read his thoughts and smiled: "Don't call me teacher. If you think I'm not bad, just call me Brother Yang. Also, I will teach you this set of exercises.
It’s best not to tell others.”
"Yes, yes, Brother Yang!"
Yang Feng smiled and said: "Okay, then I will teach you the first step of agility - elemental sensing."

The orthodox martial arts theory on the mainland believes that a person's power comes from space.
When humans first began to explore martial arts, they discovered that there were countless microscopic power bodies invisible to the naked eye in space, and these power bodies were called elements.
According to the characteristics, the basic elements can be divided into many types, such as metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, electricity, and the rarer light and dark elements.
After long-term research, humans have figured out two ways to use elements.
Some of them use their own mental power and use spells to drive the elements in the space, allowing them to be combined into a series of complex analysis skills for attack, defense or treatment. The way of utilizing this power is called "magic".
The other part goes in the opposite direction and does not use the elements directly, but absorbs them into the body and stores them. When it reaches a certain level, it can produce physical and qualitative power, which is the so-called fighting spirit.
In the initial stage, humans generally believed that practicing magic was stronger than fighting spirit, because after all, the capacity of a person's body is limited, but there are inexhaustible elements in space. Therefore, magicians flourished for a while and were revered as the most noble people.
, while other fighting spirit warriors succumb to him.
The view that magic is stronger than fighting spirit has been regarded as truth for nearly three thousand years, until a strong man suddenly appeared. The name of that strong man was Xuanyuan Wudi, and he was also the first head of the now famous Xuanyuan family.
Xuanyuan Wudi is indeed worthy of his name. As a strong fighter, he challenged all the strongest magicians on the continent at that time one by one without losing any of them.
His incredible feat caused an uproar, and the theory that magic was stronger than fighting spirit suddenly collapsed in the face of the facts. People had a new understanding of the old term fighting spirit.
The capacity of the human body is indeed inferior to the vast and infinite space. However, human beings have overlooked one thing - the mystery of the human body itself.
The human body itself has endless mysteries. Just using it as a pure container of power is an inferior approach. If combined with certain secret methods and using elements to transform the body, you can discover things beyond human imagination.
of unlimited potential.
When fighting spirit became as lethal as magic, its other advantages were gradually magnified. The body of a warrior who uses elements to transform himself is undoubtedly much tougher and more resistant to blows than a weak magician. Because it exists in the body
The power within can be directly invoked, while the magician uses mental power to drive indirectly, and has to go through a series of complex analysis and combinations with spells to activate magic skills, which is even better in terms of flexibility.
Compared with the conditions for magicians, which are very harsh, Dou Qi is more approachable, and almost everyone has the ability to try and succeed.
So many people began to devote themselves to the research of fighting spirit. Since everyone's physique is different, the research direction is also different, coupled with the level of creativity and luck, etc., in the long process of exploration, countless different types have been produced.
, numerous and numerous fighting spirits.
They have different characteristics. For example, the Dou Qi of the Dongfang Family, a family with hidden weapons, is able to use hidden weapons with ease and can exert much more tyrannical power than other Dou Qi.
Today, fighting spirit has become the most common way of cultivating strength in the Kadi continent. All kinds of fighting spirit are in full bloom, and strange people and strangers emerge in endlessly.
Magicians are still called the noblest people, but they are not the most powerful people.
However, the first step in the practice of magic and fighting spirit is still the same, which is elemental induction.
If you can't sense even the most basic elements, let alone practice fighting spirit.
In addition to personal qualities, the effects of elemental induction will also be different depending on the exercises practiced.
Yang Feng suggested that Gu Yao start by sensing the water element, which is also the first choice for most beginners, because the main component of the human body is water, and the affinity between homologous substances will make element sensing easier to succeed.
After Yang Feng left, Gu Yao was still too excited to sleep, so he simply got up and planned to try what he had just learned.
When you reach the edge of the valley slope, you will see the endless river below. The water element here is undoubtedly very abundant.
When practicing, it is also very important to make reasonable use of bad circumstances.
Sit down cross-legged by the river, with your palms folded on your abdomen. This is another place to pay attention to in practice. In addition to making people more attentive, certain postures are also in line with the laws of nature, allowing practitioners to get twice the result with half the effort.
According to Yang Feng's method, Gu Yao closed his eyes, adjusted his breathing evenly, blocked out all distracting thoughts, and concentrated on imagining being in a void space, with no sky, no earth, no plants, no tents, and no...
The river below, and even his own body, disappeared and became part of the space. In this space, he relaxed his whole body and opened his mind to welcome a new friend he had never met before.
This is what martial arts practitioners often call the spiritual space.
It's easy to say it, but not so easy to do it.
The chirping of insects and frogs, the roar of the river, the breeze blowing on the face, the fragrance of flowers floating in the distance, the chill of the night, the hardness of the stones under the buttocks...all aspects from smell, hearing, touch and other aspects can't help but impact Gu Yao's spirit.
Space, as well as the distracting thoughts generated by human emotions and desires, cannot be completely eradicated by eliminating them.
The mental space could not be maintained for only a few seconds and soon collapsed.
External factors have a great impact on people's spirit, so many warriors will find a secluded place to practice quietly.
Gu Yao was not discouraged by this. According to Yang Feng, there are exercises to guide beginners. It usually takes a few weeks for beginners to sense the existence of elements. Those who are more stupid may not have been able to step through this level last month.
A threshold.
Continuously building mental space, constantly collapsing, then building again, collapsing again, building again... This is what Gu Yao did all night.
In the early morning, the team continued to set off.
Although it was only the first step towards martial arts, Gu Yao was completely immersed in it. Whenever he had free time, he would try elemental sensing, even on the beast cart. Of course, he could not use the cross-legged posture at this time, and just closed his eyes and tried to sense.
.
At first, Ye Lin just thought it was because he didn't sleep well last night, but Gu Yao kept doing this all day long, and she finally saw some clues.
"Little pervert?"
Seeing that Gu Yao ignored him, Ye Lin was not upset and just poked him on the waist with her finger.
A strong nerve sensation of pain and itching hit him. Naturally, Gu Yao couldn't concentrate. He opened his eyes and said dissatisfiedly: "What's the matter?"
