Cultivating through increasing my stats in America Chapter 316 - 201 - Soaring Worth, Exploring the Source of I

The further he went, the greater the interference beca, until Li Ang saw a cave sunk into the ground not far ahead on his path. He had a premonition that the source of the interference must be inside this cave.

Li Ang moved forward another fifty ters. By this ti, the intensity of the interference was having a significant impact even on his body, and even his own ntal state was sowhat hazy.

At this point, only a few ters from the cave, it would not be impossible to persist and push through, but he chose not to take such an unnecessary risk.

The closer Li Ang got, the greater the interference was, but he also felt the place’s pull on him grow stronger.

He roughly estimated that his [Spirit] attribute was currently at 34, and that it would be very prudent to return to this place after it reached 40.

Li Ang turned away without a mont’s hesitation, clearly understanding a principle: often, risk and opportunity coexist, and the mont closest to success is often the most dangerous.

After returning ho, Li Ang opened a package that had arrived. Inside was a Tai Chi manual.

This was sothing he had specifically spoken to Chu Yuanfeng about. Once Chu Yuanfeng knew of his interest, he had exerted considerable effort to find the most suitable and authoritative version for him, and had sent it to him.

Li Ang was in need of such a specialized form of martial arts for cultivating inner strength.

Because the practice of these Inner Qigong techniques was also the fastest way for his [Spirit] to increase.

If it had been the old him, it might have taken a day or two to get to grips with this martial arts, but for Li Ang, who now had such a deep foundation and a [Spirit] far surpassing that of ordinary people, he virtually mastered it as soon as he finished the book.

In just half a day, Li Ang’s Tai Chi advanced to a proficient level. By the second day, Li Ang’s [Tai Chi Fist] had achieved what normally would take six or seven years for others, reaching Mastery level.

[Tai Chi Fist]

56/400 (Mastery)

(Trait: Enhanced Deflecting Force by 20%)

Li Ang was quite satisfied with this new trait, as it aligned with his initial intention to learn this martial arts, which was to enhance his defensive capabilities as much as possible.

The trait of deflecting force could be used not only in hand-to-hand combat but was also akin to reducing the impact forces on oneself.

While commonly one would use their hands to deflect the force of punches or objects, with Li Ang’s current control over his body, he was no longer within the realm of the ordinary. If he could control each muscle of his body, then he could deflect incoming impacts.

If a punch could be deflected, why not a bullet?

The essence of Tai Chi, besides the application of force, is also in the cultivation of Internal Qigong exercises, which is why this martial arts has always been the unrivaled choice for health-focused martial arts.

With the addition of this Inner Strength training, Li Ang’s daily [Spirit] cultivation further accelerated. To reach forty points in [Spirit] as quickly as possible, Li Ang also allocated more [Break Limit Points] and [Breakthrough Points] towards this attribute.

Finally, after one week, Li Ang’s [Spirit] attribute successfully reached 40 points, and his [Tai Chi Fist] reached Grandmaster level.
