Chapter 161: Chapter 99: Inquiring About Martial Arts, Cultivating Immortality in Public!_4
"Yes."
"Wow, you’ve bought about a hundred pounds of sandbags, right?"
"More or less."
Lin Beichen had already signed the delivery slip and handed it to the courier, smiling as he said, "Alright, can I take my package now?"
"Sure."
The courier nodded, thinking they’d had a good chat earlier, and decided to help him, "Buddy, this is pretty heavy. Do you need--"
Before he could finish his sentence.
He was completely stunned.
Under his gaze.
Lin Beichen used both hands to pick up the package as if it were as light as a little chick, effortlessly lifting the more than a hundred pounds of delivery that had worn him out.
Lin Beichen turned back, confused, and asked, "What did you say?"
"Nothing... nothing."
The courier watched as Lin Beichen carried the package into the dormitory building at an almost flying pace, inwardly giving a thumbs up and thinking, This guy must be a sports recruit, with strength like that, he must be training for weightlifting!
If he knew that Lin Beichen could easily carry another package like this, he wouldn’t know what to think.
After cultivating traditional martial arts, although Lin Beichen had only practiced leg techniques, his overall strength had greatly increased.
Lin Beichen had no idea that his casual actions had surprised others. He carried the package to the dormitory.
At this time, his roommates were still in class.
The dormitory was empty.
Lin Beichen opened the package.
He took out the sandbags one by one.
There were sets of 1kg, 3kg, 5kg, and 10kg sandbags.
He immediately tried them on.
Wearing the 1kg sandbag initially felt like nothing, but after moving a bit, he could feel its presence, and the sensation intensified the longer he wore it.
"This is suitable for the first day of cultivating traditional martial arts."
Lin Beichen quickly made a judgment.
Then he tried the other weights of sandbags.
When he put on the 10kg sandbag, just moving his arm slightly made his muscles ache, and he couldn’t lift his arm.
"This seems only suitable when I’m close to reaching my cultivation limit."
Lin Beichen organized the sandbags neatly.
He didn’t plan to start with the 10kg sandbag for traditional martial arts training, as that would be counterproductive and exhausting without much progress.
Progressing step by step is the right way!
Lin Beichen packed the sandbags into a suitcase and began organizing his other luggage.
Before he could finish packing.
Han Yuan and the others returned to the dormitory after class.
Han Yuan saw the nearly packed suitcase on the floor and looked distressed, "Seriously, Beichen, don’t tell me you’ve taken time off for another trip?"
"Half right."
Lin Beichen, focused on packing, smiled, "I did take time off, but it’s for training, not traveling."
His roommates were used to his strange remarks.
They had developed a tolerance.
Wu You asked, "Where are you going this time?"
"Moon River."
Lin Beichen had already checked on his way back to the dormitory that Moon River was close to the Imperial Capital and was a true sea, perfectly matching his requirements.
"You...!!"
Han Yuan clutched his heart, feeling wronged, and pointed at Lin Beichen, "The places you go are always where I want to go. You’re doing this on purpose, you scoundrel!"
"Where don’t you want to go?"
Liang Dong ruthlessly exposed his lie, then looked at Lin Beichen, half-jokingly admonishing, "This time, make sure to keep in contact with us and don’t suddenly disappear like last time."
"I definitely won’t."
Lin Beichen laughed heartily.
As they chatted and laughed.
He finished packing, then bought tickets online and booked a hotel at Moon River.
Early the next morning.
He carried his bags to the school gate and boarded a direct bus from Imperial Capital University to Moon River.
Unlike the last time, there were no mishaps.
This time he arrived smoothly at Moon River.
Lin Beichen got off the bus, found his booked hotel, and after settling in, he changed into beachwear, packed a bag, and left the hotel, heading to the beach.
Moon River, being a well-known national tourist destination.
There were indeed many tourists!
Even on a regular day, the beach was crowded.
Lin Beichen glanced around and walked to a relatively secluded spot with fewer tourists, placed his bag on the sand, and then walked into the sea.
He walked until the water was just deep enough that he wouldn’t be submerged.
He stopped and, without hesitation, clenched his fists, straightened his back, and dove into the sea to do a plank exercise.
"Splash--"
"Splash--"
"..."
Waves crashed over Lin Beichen’s body.
Lin Beichen felt the sensation of his fists touching the fine sand at the sea bottom and the impact of each wave.
Gradually...
He gained a deeper understanding of the force exerted in the two traditional martial arts techniques.
And his strange actions caught the attention of many.
"Hey, look at that guy. What’s he doing? Planking in the sea?"
"Is he that into working out?"
"Wow, ladies, check it out! There’s a super ripped guy doing planks in the sea!"
"..."
Discussions arose one after another.
This made it hard for tourists nearby to not notice Lin Beichen.
Under their watchful eyes.
Lin Beichen continued planking in the sea.
With the aid of the electric element...
He held the plank for five minutes without his body wavering at all.
"Amazing, this guy held it for so long!"
"And in the sea, no less!"
"I can’t hold a plank for two minutes even on a yoga mat!"
"How long do you think this guy can hold it?"
"His core strength is incredible!"
"..."
The discussions grew more lively.
Meanwhile, Lin Beichen, immersed in his training, ignored everything.
A minute...
Two minutes...
...
Time ticked by.
Soon, his body began to tremble, and the trembling grew more severe.
After about ten minutes.
His strength finally reached its limit.
"That’s about enough."
Lin Beichen knew his own body well. Savoring the sensations he’d felt in applying the two traditional martial arts techniques, he eagerly wanted to try incorporating them into practical moves.
"Splash--!"
Lin Beichen stood up from the sea, brushed the fine sand off his fists, then went to the beach, took out two sets of 1kg sandbags from his bag, and strapped them to his wrists.
His actions piqued the curiosity of the onlookers even more.
"Wow, he held a plank in the sea for a whole quarter of an hour, impressive!"
"Is he live streaming or something?"
"What’s he doing now?"
"Why is he putting on weighted sandbags?"
"..."
Under their astonished gazes.
Lin Beichen started practicing Luwo Fist.
With powerful and forceful movements, every move was executed with great strength.
Creating a striking visual impact!
His actions caught even more attention.
Just imagine...
On a crowded beach, someone suddenly started performing martial arts, wet from the sea.
It was hard not to notice!
"Wow, amazing, he’s practicing martial arts now?"
"No wonder he could hold a plank in the sea for so long, he’s a martial artist!"
"So cool, what martial art is that?"
"Damn, his moves look so intense, it’s thrilling to watch!"
"Hey, weird, I’m a martial artist myself and can see his technique is extraordinary, but I’ve never seen it before?"
"His stance... really impressive. Does anyone know who he is? He’s probably quite famous with moves like that, right?"
"..."
The beach was abuzz with chatter.
Everyone had something to say.
But...
Lin Beichen paid them no mind.
Their discussions didn’t lead to any conclusions, only sparking more curiosity.
Who is this young man?
What kind of martial art is this?
And so on.
With no answers, some tourists moved on, back to their own activities.
But more tourists...
Recorded Lin Beichen’s martial arts practice.
And posted it online!
