Luo Kai returned to his seat, his mind still immersed in his thoughts. Humans' perception of beauty, their thirst for power and power, and even their need for survival and reproduction all came from genetic memory. It could be called instinct, and consciousness was just following these instincts.
Consciousness was acquired, but genetic memory was an innate existence. If innate genetic memory was compared to a computer system, then acquired consciousness was a derivative of this system.
"Hello, classmate. I don't think I've seen you before. My name is Hao Fei." A tall young man walked over and patted him on the shoulder, breaking his train of thought.
Luo Kai raised his head to look at him and said, "I'm Luo Kai."
Hao Fei sat across from Luo Kai as if they were close friends. He smiled and said, "I see that you've just come from Principal Liu's place. Are the two of you very close?"
"He's my teacher."
"You're Principal Liu's fourth disciple?"
Hao Fei asked in astonishment. His voice was so loud that it attracted the attention of everyone in the carriage. Several other students walked over and surrounded Luo Kai, fighting to ask, "You're really Principal Liu's disciple!"
"Mm." Luo Kai was getting impatient. He liked the quiet.
Hao Fei said eagerly, "Classmate Luo, uh … you can call me Da Fei. Then you must have learned Principal Liu's Ultimate Round Body Technique, right? Do you have time to teach us a thing or two?"
Luo Kai suppressed his impatience and shook his head. "I haven't learned it yet."
Hao Fei looked at him in disbelief, and so did the other students. However, Luo Kai had already turned his head to look out the window, completely ignoring them.
A youth covered in pimples was very dissatisfied with Luo Kai's indifference. He said disdainfully, "You're so arrogant. Isn't it just because you have a powerful teacher?"
"Yeah, what's so great about that!"
"Let's go, let's go. If he's not willing to teach us, there's no need for us to be so nice to him!"
With just a few words, Luo Kai had offended a large group of students. He understood that these students did not have any ill intentions, but were just young and impetuous. Who had never been young before? With a light sigh, he turned around and said, "Perfect Physical Arts is derived from sumo wrestling. It focuses on grappling and locking joints, and is good at close combat. However, there is an important prerequisite, and that is to have strong physical strength. This is also the foundation of all physical arts...
The students who had been preparing to leave stopped in their tracks. Those who studied physical arts were extremely passionate about this skill. The Ultimate Circle Physical Arts was the signature move of a high-level physical warrior, so it was definitely extraordinary. Even a superficial understanding of it would be of great help to one's body.
Looking at the eager gazes of these students, Luo Kai suddenly felt as if he was teaching in his previous life. He said openly, "I know that everyone thinks that the signature move of a high-level physical warrior must be extraordinary, but the truth is that everything is simple. Even the simplest physical arts will have different effects in different people's hands. For example, the simplest form of military boxing only has two main points, but it can be used both offensively and defensively.
Moreover, physical arts are battle techniques. Life and death battles are the key to improving battle techniques. In battle, one's heart, body, and even spirit must all reach a state of unity. When one reaches this state of unity, any physical art technique can be used to great effect. In fact, there may not even be a need for physical arts techniques, because the body's instincts are the strongest technique... In other words, the impossible is the law, and the infinite is the infinite. This is the highest realm of physical arts!
Luo Kai spoke eloquently, but most of these students had blank looks on their faces. To these students who had never experienced actual combat, his experience was indeed too profound. In fact, he still had one more thing to say, which was to break through one's own limitations. This was something that could only be understood by those who had stepped into the field of spiritual cultivation. In the end, he could only say, "When the day comes when you all face a trial of life and death, you may understand what I'm saying today."
Although the students did not understand what he was saying, they could faintly feel that it made some sense. Moreover, this person before them seemed to carry with him an inexplicable power as he spoke, sending his words deep into the depths of their souls. Memories of physical arts surged into their minds, and for a moment, they were all in a daze.
At the junction of the carriages, Liu Hou was also deep in thought. When he heard Luo Kai talking about the Ultimate Rounded Body technique to the students, his curiosity had been piqued, and he had come over to listen as well. He had not expected to hear words that also touched him deeply. At his level, he naturally understood that what Luo Kai was talking about was the most precious battle experience, and even included the great dao of physical arts. He could not help but mutter, "That's right. Why bother with techniques? The body's instincts are the strongest technique!"
Luo Kai shared his understanding of physical arts for the past two years. In fact, he himself had also sunk into deep thought. He had once thought of fusing the Soft Forging Body technique and the Great Might Dragon Fist together. However, as his understanding of the dao of physical arts deepened, he suddenly realized that he had gone into a dead end. What was a fusion?
When he was in a battle state, regardless of whether it was the Soft Forging Body technique, the Great Might Dragon Fist, or even the Naga's twisted attack style, everything he had learned in the past would naturally come out and become his instincts. There was no such thing as a fusion. All physical arts had their flaws. This was the way of the heavens. There was no such thing as a perfect physical art technique.
…
The speed of the train in this world was very slow. It took about seven to eight hours to arrive at Jinlan Prefecture. Jinlan Prefecture was located on an alluvial plain called the Jinlan Plain. The land was fertile and there was a large population. The corresponding industry and economy were also the strongest. Similar to Longyang City, Jinlan Prefecture was also divided into an outer city and an inner city. They were separated by a huge city wall that was over ten meters tall. This was the unified construction method of human cities after the Great Cataclysm.
This time, there were a total of 20 students from Panseok Sports School participating in the competition. Liu Hou led the team and was followed by three teachers. Those who were able to study in the sports school were not from ordinary families. Naturally, the sports school was also extremely wealthy. They directly entered the largest hotel in Jinlan Prefecture City and booked more than ten rooms.
This hotel was called the Kim Orchid Hotel. It was 30 stories tall and could already be considered a skyscraper in this world. There were a total of 400 to 500 rooms. Most of the participants from all over the country stayed here. Other than the sports school, there were also many people who cultivated physical skills among the people. Although they did not learn physical skills systematically, many of them were people with extraordinary talents. Their combat strength might be even stronger than the students from the sports school.
Liu Hou specially arranged a unit for Luo Kai and then hurriedly went out to greet his old friends. In the middle of the night, he knocked on Luo Kai's door with a face that reeked of alcohol. As soon as he entered, he cursed, "Damn it, I don't know what benefits those guys from the Association for Physical Arts got. They made the military send out five physical warriors. It seems like they want to take the top five this time!"
This time, none of the 20 students from Panseok Sports School were physical warriors. It was the same for the other schools. One could imagine the result.
Luo Kai did not pay much attention to it. This kind of competition was full of inside stories. If Liu Hou could get him to help in the competition, the others would definitely have the same idea.
