As he was thinking, his phone rang. He picked it up and saw that the call was from Li Juewen.

"Hello."

"You've gotten popular, kid."

" I'm popular? What do you mean?" Wang An was stunned.

"The video of you practicing the Five Animal Forms in the park has gone viral," Li Juewen said with a smile.

After hanging up the phone, Wang An opened the link that Li Juewen had sent him.

The title of the video was "May I ask, what divine technique is this?"

The video showed Wang An practicing the Five Animal Forms in the park. The comments below were very lively.

[Isn't this the Muscle Tendon Changing Classic?]

[Wrong, this is the Tiger Crane Twin Form Fist!]

[Don't be ridiculous. This guy is just training stupidly by himself. I'm better at training than him based on this video.]

[What do you mean by stupid? You don't even know what he's doing. This man is practicing the Five Animal Forms.]

[Five Animal Forms, which five animals do you mean? Do you mean chickens, ducks, and geese? What are the others?]

[Probably cows and sheep.]

[Are the two of you here to be funny? You're talking about farm animals. The five animals in the Five Animal Forms refer to tigers, bears, deer, monkeys, and birds.]

[What are the benefits of training these forms?]

[It is to strengthen the body.]

[I'm going to take a look tomorrow.]

[Let's go together.]

The next day, a lot of people gathered at the park.

"What's going on?" Wang An never expected that his practice of the Five Animal Forms would attract so much attention and discussion.

"There are really a lot of people here. It seems that I won't be able to come to this small park often anymore."

No one wanted to be watched like an animal in a zoo while training.

"I have to go somewhere else."

The nearest park was about two kilometers away. Practicing Tai Chi in the park was not an unusual activity, but practicing the Five Animal Forms might attract attention because of how unique it was.

"Maybe I can get a new place to live in. It's best if it's a bungalow with a courtyard. It would be alright even if it's further away. This way, I can practice in the courtyard and even practice techniques like walking on bricks without anyone spectating. Hmm, that's settled then."

With that in mind, Wang An immediately searched the Internet. After a while, he found information on a few rental houses. He decided to go and take a look tomorrow afternoon.

The next morning, he came to the park and found that there were indeed a few people loitering around the place where he usually practiced martial arts. Two of them were smoking.

"What time does that guy typically come? I haven't had to wake up so early this year. Why don't we go eat something to fill our stomachs first?"

"Let's wait a little longer. To be honest, I really want to get to know that guy. What if he's really good?"

"I bet he sucks at fighting. He's just doing gymnastics! What kind of martial arts abilities could he actually have?"

"Don't these guys have anything better to do?" Wang An said after listening to their conversation. He could not practice here today.

That afternoon, he went out to look at houses and prepared to move to another place. He walked around and looked at a few houses. By the time it was almost dark, he really found one that he liked.

The house had four rooms and had a kitchen and bathroom. The courtyard was also large enough for his liking. The only inconvenience was that it was far from the urban area.

However, Wang An did not care much about that. He negotiated the price with the landlord and paid three months' rent in advance.

The next day, he found a moving company and had them move all his things there.

After packing up his belongings, he arranged a set of bricks in the yard. Each stack consisted of four bricks, and there was a total of thirty sets.

After setting it up, he could not help but want to try the training. After taking a few steps, a stack of bricks fell.

"As expected, it's not as easy as I thought!"

The bricks were not stable. If the direction of his foot was slightly misaligned, the bricks would fall immediately.

"It's hard but interesting."

Wang An stopped and thought carefully for a while before continuing to practice.

This time, he took much slower steps. He first stabilized himself and then sped up after he got used to it. He focused on the feeling on his feet. The first thing he had to practice when walking on bricks was controlling his lower limbs.

After a while, he managed to keep three more stacks than the last time.

"Let's continue!"

After more trial and error, he decided to walk slowly and steadily. He decided against being fast. After a few consecutive experiments, he slowly found the right technique until finally, none of the bricks fell.

When he was practicing walking and turning, he thought of Tai Chi footwork and the monkey and bird form in the Five Animal Forms. One practiced agility and the other practiced lightness.

"If I practice the Five Animal Forms diligently, it will probably be easier to walk on the bricks, right?"

[You have tried a special training method. If you continue to persevere, you might be pleasantly surprised by the results.]

"It seems that this training method is effective."

Wang An felt like a child at an amusement park. Tai Chi and the Five Animal Forms were like attractions that enticed him to try them out.

He was not only doing this for the sake of completing the mission. He had already experienced the benefits of practicing these techniques. The benefits he had gained were real. He wanted to see what kind of effect it would have on him if he were to continue practicing as much as he could.

Wang An then went to the nearby supermarket to buy some rice, noodles, vegetables, fruits, beef, and other necessities.

If nothing unexpected happened, he would be staying at his new place for a period of time.

This place was dozens of kilometers away from the dojo in the city, so he bought a bicycle and rode it to the city every day.

He practiced the Five Animal Forms in the morning, then rode his bike to the city. He practiced Tai Chi in the swimming pool, and sometimes ate lunch in the city.

He had already paid the rent for his previous home, so he would rest there for a while before going to the Intention Fist Dojo to practice sparring. Sometimes, he would return to the newly rented house to practice walking on bricks.

Just like that, a month passed by. After November, the weather became colder.

After this period of training, Wang An felt that his body was getting stronger.

The most obvious sign was the fact that he could hold a 10-kilogram dumbbell easily. He could even stack the weight of two dumbbells together and lift them. The result was him lifting 40 kilograms with one hand.

His appetite grew larger and larger, and his appetite was more than twice that of a month ago.

His appetite was so large that sometimes, he had to eat four meals in a single day.

Such a huge appetite made Wang An slightly worried. Of course, it was not his health he was worried about. He could feel how healthy his body was, and he was full of energy from morning till night.

He was worried about his wallet. He could not only eat rice and noodles every day to save money. These types of meals would not be able to satiate his hunger at all. He had to eat fish and meat.

But if he ate like this, he would have to spend a few thousand yuan on his meals.

Moreover, he could not rule out the possibility that his appetite would continue to increase in the future, which would increase his expenses.

"Do I have to think of a way to earn money?"

On this day, there were not many people in the Intention Fist Martial Arts Dojo. There was some strength training equipment in the corner. Intention Fist Martial Arts focused on strength, and the students here would also undergo strength training on a daily basis.
