Chapter 1 The First Lesson

Li Miaomiao, Dai Xiaoqing, and the other members of the Pearwood Team were all in the stands.

"I wonder how Brother Xu will teach martial arts," Yang Qingshuo said expectantly.

"Being strong doesn't mean you can teach; that's the mark of a founder," Wang Yi said. "Throughout history, there have been many strong people, but very few are good at teaching disciples."

"Old Xu is still very smart," Heng Fang said.

Xu Hong and his wife, Li Chen'an and his wife, Dai Tongda, Elder Xu, and others were also watching expectantly, waiting for the lesson.

In the stands, there were also a group of experts such as Liu Hai, Tiger Fuson, Teageno Xire, Miyakawa Akari, Akinlov, Haru Singh, Fang Yu, Zhao Fan, Zhang Qing, and Tie Lianyun.

They also wanted to see how Xu Jingming would teach martial arts.

…

"Hello, everyone." Xu Jingming stood in the training ground, facing the stands, and smiled. "Today is the first time since the opening of the virtual world that I, Xu Jingming, have opened a livestream."

"Opening the livestream is to impart my martial arts," Xu Jingming said. "When I was young, I was taught by my father, Xu Hong, and my master, Dai Tongda. Later, when I entered the national team, Master Liu Hai taught me."

At that moment, Xu Hong, Dai Tongda, and Liu Hai all smiled.

Every master would feel proud to have taught the world's top disciple.

"In the early days, I was learning, but later I gradually had my own insights," Xu Jingming said. "What I want to teach everyone is some of my insights."

"Wow, it's already reached 2.2 billion people! The speed at which viewers are pouring in is even faster than Master Liu Hai's livestream!" Heng Fang exclaimed from the stands.

Li Miaomiao said with a smile, "Jingming announced the livestream time in advance. Many viewers came right on time, so the number is large enough. Master Liu Hai didn't announce it in advance."

"Captain is about to start talking about his martial arts," Wang Yi said seriously, listening attentively.

Xu Jingming said, "In the past few days, I believe everyone has watched the livestreams of some of the world's top experts. Many top experts have emphasized body exertion! They are all teaching you how to explode with stronger power with the same body."

"I believe you have also heard some terms, such as *cunjin* (inch power), *zhengjin* (whole power), etc." Xu Jingming smiled, "Today, I don't want to talk about these mysterious things."

"Hmm?"

Countless people pricked up their ears.

Liu Hai, Teageno Xire, Miyakawa Akari, and other experts listened even more carefully.

"Today, the first lesson of my martial arts is the power of moves," Xu Jingming said.

"What is power?" Xu Jingming pointed to the side.

A virtual scene began to appear beside him.

A bullet shot out from a pistol, pierced through the air, and shot into a large tree, barely penetrating a part of it.

"This is a pistol bullet, and its muzzle kinetic energy is 505 joules." Xu Jingming looked at the countless people, "505 joules can be used to describe the power of this bullet."

The training ground once again simulated a new scene, in which a rifle shot a bullet that penetrated the trunk of a distant tree, penetrating almost half its depth.

"This is a rifle bullet with a muzzle kinetic energy of 3607 joules."

"This is a machine gun bullet with a muzzle kinetic energy of about 38,000 joules."

"This is a bullet fired from a heavy machine cannon with a muzzle kinetic energy of about 250,000 joules."

As Xu Jingming spoke, the power of different weapons appeared beside him. The bullets fired from the heavy machine cannon shattered the trees they passed through, destroying everything in front of them.

"Finally, this one…" Xu Jingming pointed to the side, "This is the active ship-borne electromagnetic gun, and the kinetic energy of the shell leaving the barrel reaches a full 150 million joules!"

A scene of a ship-borne electromagnetic gun firing appeared beside him. The electromagnetic gun shell shot out instantly, pierced through the air, and passed through hundreds of kilometers, hitting a small mountain. It entered from this side of the small mountain and flew out from the other side.

"505, 3607, 38,000, 250,000, 150 million." Xu Jingming said, "These clear numbers allow us to clearly see that the power is getting greater and greater."

"Our martial arts moves are also pursuing power."

Xu Jingming picked up a stone from the ground.

He suddenly exerted force!

Bang!

The stone streaked across the sky, flew hundreds of meters, and hit the mountain wall, creating a large pit with a bang.

"The maximum speed of the stone I threw was 1022 meters per second," Xu Jingming said. "Based on its mass, it can be calculated that at the moment I threw it, its kinetic energy was about 1.5 million joules. Although it is far less than an electromagnetic gun, it is already stronger than the bullets of those machine guns and heavy machine cannons. It is enough to be comparable to the power of a cannonball."

Countless viewers listened. They had long known that the power of a top expert's attack was very terrifying, but the stone that Xu Jingming had just thrown still amazed them.

"So, no matter what kind of body exertion, *cunjin* or *zhengjin*, or some profound secret technique… as long as you are pursuing great power, you are actually pursuing kinetic energy!" Xu Jingming said with a smile, "The more kinetic energy, the better!"

"Many people should know the kinetic energy formula," Xu Jingming said. "It is one-half of the mass multiplied by the velocity, and then multiplied by the velocity again."

"Mass is important! Speed is even more important, because speed is multiplied twice."

Xu Jingming said with a smile, "So we must grasp the essence of martial arts… the essence of all power, and pursue two things: greater mass and faster speed!"

"For example, I'll throw a punch." Xu Jingming walked to a tree that needed two people to hug.

"Bang."

With a straight punch, Xu Jingming's fist struck the tree, penetrating about ten centimeters into the trunk. The tree trembled violently, but it was still fine. After all, the tree was too thick.

"This is an ordinary straight punch, and my exertion of force is also an ordinary person's skill." Xu Jingming said, "From the perspective of kinetic energy, the mass of this punch is mainly the fist and forearm, which is about 3% of the body weight!"

"I'll throw another punch." This time, Xu Jingming clearly had a twisting motion of his waist. His body seemed to rotate like a huge gear, and his right arm struck the tree like the power arm carried by the gear. The tree, which required two people to hug, exploded, with countless pieces of wood flying around, and the entire tree fell down directly.

"Please see the difference between these two times," Xu Jingming said.

At the same time, a comparison chart of the videos of the two punches just now appeared beside him.

"The first straight punch had a mass of 3% of body weight."

"The second time, the body rotated, and my upper body torso was moving! Including the arms, the mass was 65% of body weight! Compared with the previous punch, the mass was more than twenty times greater… Even if the speed is slower, the power of this punch far exceeds the previous punch."

Xu Jingming said.

For a time, countless people were thoughtful.

"For another example!"

Xu Jingming tapped lightly, wearing dark red armor. He turned to look at the mountain wall, and suddenly two steps turned into afterimages. He rushed to the mountain wall and slammed his fists on the mountain wall. With a violent explosion, a huge pit appeared, and countless stones flew around.

"This strike."

Xu Jingming said, "My entire body is moving, and the mass is 100% of my body weight plus the weight of the armor, nearly 1 ton! And when I charge, my whole body speed is very fast! Making my kinetic energy far greater than the previous two punches. So the power that erupts is much greater!"

A scene of Xu Jingming bombarding the mountain wall earlier was also playing. The whole person charged up, and the speed was more than 170 meters per second, and it was nearly a ton of mass. The kinetic energy was indeed terrifying.

"The first lesson of my martial arts," Xu Jingming looked around, "The power of moves! Is greater mass and faster speed!"

Countless viewers watched breathlessly.

The mysterious and abstruse lessons on force exertion in the past suddenly became clear.

"Those who practice force exertion, are they actually just greater mass and faster speed?"

"Just mass and speed?"

"That's right, just like when charging, if the mass is large enough and the speed is fast enough, the power will be great."

Countless people's eyes lit up.

"No matter what kind of force exertion moves, mobilize more body parts, and make more body parts move faster and faster." Xu Jingming said, walking to a large tree, and suddenly twisting his waist to exert force, he punched the tree, and the tree shattered.

"This is *cunjin*! The outside world says that the fist can be very close to the target, and the force is still fierce. Ordinary people think it's amazing, but in fact, there's no need to exert force with the arm at all! The key is the waist! Once the waist turns, more than 50% of the body's mass is moving at high speed, so the power is naturally great! And the speed is also very fast, because it's just a moment of turning the waist."

"Turning the waist doesn't need to be a big movement, but the explosion must be fierce, and the speed must be fast enough."

"This is *cunjin*."

"What is *zhengjin*?"

Xu Jingming stepped forward and leaned against the tree with his shoulder. His whole body slammed into the tree, and the tree fell down again with a bang.

"This is Baji Tieshankao (Iron Mountain Lean)! Why is it so powerful? It's because the whole body is rushing forward, it's 100% body mass. The eruption under the feet is even more rapid, and the speed is naturally fast." Xu Jingming said, "100% mass, combined with a fast enough speed, of course the power is great."

"All over the world, there are various schools of martial arts."

"It's so mysterious that even the people who learn it are confused." Xu Jingming looked around, "But as long as you grasp the essence, and pursue greater mass and faster speed! Then the power will be great enough!"

"Everyone, do you understand?" Xu Jingming asked, "If you don't understand, I can explain it in more detail. If you understand, we can start the second lesson of martial arts!"
