My Abilities Come with Special Effects

Five Animal Hands (2)

“However, the human body is extremely fragile. Squeezing the body is essentially exceeding the burden of the body and is extremely dangerous. Martial arts training is not child’s play, especially for an ordinary person who has never come into contact with martial arts. His body can’t bear the circulation of blood energy and force at all. If he practices recklessly, his bones and tendons will be messed up at best, and he will die from paralysis at worst.”

Cold sweat broke out on Lin Yan’s forehead. Fortunately, he had yet to find any martial arts manuals.

Zang Wei seemed to have thought of something as a look of emotion appeared on his face. “For example, some aristocratic families and the proud sons of wealthy families. From the moment they were born, they bathed in precious medicine and nourished their blood energy, causing their potential to accumulate far beyond that of ordinary people. They also created an extremely strong foundation of muscles and bones. They are natural martial arts geniuses.

“However, you clearly aren’t. Therefore, you can only use postnatal training to adapt to the circulation of blood energy step by step.

“This is the function of the Five Animal Hands. It doesn’t have much lethality and is just a body nourishing technique. However, it can stimulate the blood energy in your body and nourish your meridians.

“If you cultivate this technique well, your muscles and bones will be strong enough. The more solid your martial arts foundation is, the more high-rise buildings will rise from the ground. Only with a deep foundation can you look up to a higher realm.”

Yu Qian raised her hand again. “Eldest Senior Brother, if I practice the Five Animal Hands well, will I be comparable to the talents of the aristocratic and wealthy families you mentioned?”

Her eyes were filled with anticipation.

A trace of loneliness flashed past Zang Wei’s eyes. “Hehe, don’t bite off more than you can chew. Let’s talk about it after you’ve mastered it!”

He pointed at Wei Yan, who immediately walked forward.

“I only have one arm, so it’s not easy for me to demonstrate. Next, I’ll let Wei Yan demonstrate. I’ll explain, so you have to listen carefully!”

Lin Yan perked up. It’s here!

“The Five Animal Hands is based on the Golden Tiger, White Deer, Ghost Ape, Mountain Bear, and Red Crane, imitating the actions of the five animals. Wei Yan, you demonstrate the Tiger Form one by one!”

Wei Yan’s four limbs were on the ground, his hands were like tiger claws, the web between his thumb and index finger was round, and his back was arched like he was standing upright. Then, his two hands were raised from the side of his body. His body was bent forward, and he suddenly jumped. His two hands pressed down on the ground, and he landed on all fours again, in the posture of a tiger pouncing.

Except…

Lin Yan looked at his actions and felt that it didn’t look like a tiger pounce, but more like… a cat pounce?

There were a total of three movements in the Tiger Form—Tiger Steps, Tiger Pounce, and Tiger Turning. However, Wei Yan’s demonstration always gave Lin Yan the feeling of a cat walking, a cat pouncing on a mouse, and an old cat turning its head?

However, after Zang Wei had seen it, he nodded his head in satisfaction. “Not bad, it’s not bad at all. The tiger pounce focuses on using all the strength in your body. A tiger roars in the forest. When it moves, it must have a spirit. Its movements must be wide open…”

Zang Wei used Wei Yan’s body as a template and explained the key points one by one. Lin Yan and Zang Wei’s eyes lit up as they listened and benefited greatly.

“Next, it’s deer form.”

Then, there was a series of action demonstrations. Lin Yan was mesmerized by them.

Different from the Five Animal Frolics in his previous life, the Five Animal Hands did not have many movements. There were three movements in each form, but each movement contained more than ten key points. Muscle movement, sequencing, and breathing coordination could not be missed.

Fortunately, he did not buy any secret manuals randomly. If there was no one to teach him such a complicated training method, even if he had the secret manual, it was impossible for him to learn it.

Lin Yan’s memory was considered good, but after Zang Wei’s explanation, he could only remember 80%.

The only strange thing was that Wei Yan’s demonstration was indescribably strange.

The tiger was shaped like a cat, the deer was shaped like a horse, the ape was shaped like a human, the bear was shaped like a dog, and the crane was shaped like a chicken. All in all, the five forms did not look like it.

However, Zang Wei said that Wei Yan’s demonstration was not bad. Lin Yan did not know martial arts, so he naturally did not dare to ask questions.

“Alright, the two of you can demonstrate! Wei Yan, you can go now. Call Le Ping over!”

Wei Yan’s face fell, but he did not dare to disobey his Eldest Senior Brother and could only retreat.

Not long after, an ordinary-looking and tall woman walked over with a wooden face.

“Le Ping, help Yu Qian guide her movements.”

“Yes, Eldest Senior Brother.”

Zang Wei walked to Lin Yan’s side and said calmly, “You can begin!”

Lin Yan was nervous. He started to assume a stance according to his memories.

Zang Wei grabbed Lin Yan’s arm and pressed down. “Your hand is too high. Lower it!”

His hand was like steel as he controlled Lin Yan’s arm, making him unable to resist.

Lin Yan’s heart skipped a beat as he focused on comprehending.

“Keep your back straight. It’s soft and has no strength!”

“Tiger Claw, Tiger Claw, this is a chicken claw!”

“Your Monkey Fist is a little flexible. Have you seen a monkey before?”

“…”

Following that, Lin Yan adjusted his posture bit by bit under Zang Wei’s stern correction.

Needless to say, when the posture was completely correct, Lin Yan felt a slight heat emitting from his body, as if someone was holding a hot towel to cover his body.

This was clearly the uniqueness of this world’s martial arts.

Two hours later, Lin Yan’s face was flushed red and he was covered in sweat. He felt an uncontrollable emptiness all over his body.

Yu Qian, who was at the side, was the same. Her face was red as she bit her lip.

Many parts of her body were drenched in sweat. Her initially developed figure outlined her exquisite curves, attracting everyone’s attention. Fortunately, she had worn a liner inside. Otherwise, she would have found a hole to hide in on the spot.

“Alright, although Five Animal Hands won’t harm your body and there’s no limit to the number of times you can practice it, it’s your first time practicing it. Your blood energy will definitely be severely exhausted and your body will feel empty. Remember to eat more meat when you go back to replenish your blood energy. You can continue practicing tomorrow!”

“Thank you for your teachings, Eldest Senior Brother.”

Zang Wei nodded. “Your memory is not bad. You should be able to learn how to move within four to five days. However, you can only observe the movements of the animals when you have the time. Tiger, deer, bear, crane, and ape. Naturally, you have never seen them before, and neither have I. However, cats are like tigers, horses are like deer, dogs are like bears, chickens are like cranes, and humans are like apes. The effect will be the same if you observe the movements of the former.”

Lin Yan was enlightened. No wonder Wei Yan’s movements were strange.

This was the ancient world. There were few people in the wilderness and dangers were everywhere. How could ordinary people see the true appearance of these precious birds and ferocious beasts?

Even in his previous life, not everyone had seen these five creatures with their own eyes.

In the end, Zang Wei glanced at the two of them and said in a deep voice, “Let me remind you again. Blood energy is the essence of martial arts. It must be replenished. Moreover, for people like you who have just started practicing martial arts, meat can’t immediately transform into blood energy. After eating meat, you have to wait at least four to six hours for your blood energy to be fully replenished before you can practice a second time.

“Therefore, if allowed, it’s best for you to have a meal of meat at noon and at night. If you practice martial arts twice a day, the effect will be the best.”

Lin Yan and Yu Qian thanked him respectfully. “Thank you for your reminder, Eldest Senior Brother!”

“That’s it!”

With that, Zang Wei turned around and left.
