Shen An transmigrates.
In a parallel world, he’s 26, unemployed, has less than ten thousand in savings, and lives in a run-down rental in the old part of town. Not much different from before he transmigrated.
Luckily, he has a System: reading books raises his skill proficiency.
He reads The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up, and his cleaning proficiency rises by 42. His pigsty of a room becomes a model apartment.
He reads The Art of Communicating, and his communication skill reaches proficiency level. He passes his job interview on the first try.
He reads The Pomodoro Technique Illustrated, doubles his work efficiency, and makes getting off work on time a real possibility.
Then, in a secondhand bookstore, he comes across a yellowed copy of The Twelve Animal Forms of Xingyi Boxing: Stance Training.
System notification: Traditional martial arts skill unlocked.
In this world, the lineage of traditional martial arts was lost long ago. No one practices it, no one knows it, no one understands it.
Shen An is the only one, slowly training his stances, boxing techniques, footwork, and power, one skill at a time, with the help of old books, handwritten manuscripts, and magazines from the Republic of China era.
Every day, he goes to work, reads, practices his stances, and trains in boxing. Life is ordinary, but solid.
One day, he runs into an old man in a gray jacket at the park. After watching him for a moment, the man asks, “Is that the Hunyuan stance?”
Shen An nods.
The old man falls silent for a long time, then finally says, “Talent really is one unfair son of a bitch.”
An ordinary man’s journey into traditional martial arts. No showing off, no face-slapping, just reading, training, and getting on with life.
It's okay, but it's easy to repeat some content. It's normal for conversations to repeat every day, but how do you say what happened a few days ago and the next few days in exactly the same situation?
The overall setting is very interesting. It is the first time I have seen the gameplay of being able to gain proficiency by reading books. The thinking is very down-to-earth and not exaggerated at all. The protagonist starts off as ordinary and is in a real situation. There is no brainless cheating. He slowly improves himself step by step by reading books. Whether it is life management, social communication, or work efficiency, he has grown up slowly. It is very comfortable to watch. In the early stage, the daily life was relaxed and realistic, and the pace was slow and slow. Until the ancient book of Xingyiquan appeared in the old bookstore, which directly introduced the line of Chinese martial arts, instantly raising the plot's interest, and the transition was particularly natural. The writing style is simple and engaging, the plot is steady, not cliche or bloody, and the daily routine and long-term growth are well combined. It can be seen that the story has great stamina, and it will become more and more interesting as you follow it. The potential is very good.
When I was young, and until now, I also liked reading and martial arts. I like gratification and enmity, and I like to act chivalrously and righteously! However, I didn't travel through time, and I didn't have a system. There are regrets! Therefore, the author helped me realize my dream! I hope to write good works! Come on!!!!
Please correct me if I am wrong in what I wrote for the first time. After I see it, I will remember to put forward the changes that can be corrected.
Good book author, please write quickly
Exercise, go to work, work hard, I am the successor of socialism.
This is a novel written by a martial arts practitioner with a master
Before I finished reading, I saw a bear shape. Overall it's okay. But I still want to thank the author. I have been doing zhanzhuang for almost a year and a half, and the zhanzhuang in the book has helped me a lot. Grateful.
Like a landscape water tank, I can hear the bubbles of tears, the green water plants, and the leisurely movement of small fish in deep silence.
The content is pretty good, but I don't know if it's going to focus on martial arts. I feel like there's too much martial arts training.
