Chapter 10

Mountain Breaking Fist

"Damn, have you heard? The fourth leader of Wolf Stronghold, Erbazi, got killed."

"I had heard before that his right-hand man, Jackal, had died, and yesterday another henchman, Black Cat, also died with him."

Yes, that's the guy who stomped on the heads of Old Dai's two kids last time!

"Good riddance, a fitting end; Heaven has eyes."

"It seems to be the Golden Leopard Gang, who recently came to our Snakehead Gully, who did it. They've taken over most of the pawnshop business in Wolf Village."

In several encounters, the Wolf Stronghold suffered heavy casualties.

"Sigh, no matter which gang takes over, it's still us ordinary people who suffer."

"Who cares! Those two-scarred guys, the black cat, and the jackals are truly despicable!"

They've been bullying us in our village all this time, they deserve to die! This is truly gratifying!

Duan Xuan hurriedly ran past the group of people at the entrance of the village.

Hearing them discussing Erbazi's death, he felt a surge of joy.

When he hid the body yesterday, he wanted to make sure that Erbazi's body would be found.

Only in this way can the Wolf Village avoid having time to focus on exploiting and oppressing the villagers.

They will focus some of their attention on fighting the emerging Golden Leopard Gang and on finding the killer.

In his view, although Erbazi was the fourth leader, the Wolf Stronghold was not as good as it used to be.

Maybe the bandits are all a bunch of worthless bastards who will scatter when disaster strikes, and nobody will care about Erbazi.

Last night, Duanxuan earned seven taels of silver in one go, and his hunting and trapping stats increased by five and twelve points respectively.

He gave the money to his mother, telling her not to spend it yet, and that once the storm had passed, the family could start eating meat again.

He was still the first to arrive at the martial arts school today. By the time the other disciples arrived, Duan Xuan had already practiced the Mountain-Breaking Strike Technique three times.

After a month of refining his Qi and blood, his Qi and blood levels were finally higher than those of an average adult.

His body, which had been as withered as a dead tree and covered in frostbite, had become slightly stronger as his blood and energy had replenished.

The most obvious change is his height; he has grown two centimeters taller.

"Hey, isn't this Senior Brother Duan? You've arrived so early!" said Lin Hu, a strong, dark-skinned man.

He walked over with a sarcastic tone and extended his hand to shake hands with Duan Xuan.

With this grip, he was prepared to use all his strength to crush Duan Xuan's bones.

After all, he had already entered the Ming Jin realm, and was incomparable to these ordinary people who had not yet entered the Ming Jin realm.

In addition to being able to convert their blood and qi into physical strength, their power, endurance, and speed are greatly enhanced.

"Master is here!" Zhang Chen's timely shout stopped Lin Hu from grasping Duan Xuan's hand.

  Updates take time and effort, so please remember to share 101kanshu.com.

A hint of disgust flashed in Lin Hu's eyes, but he just laughed and said, "Senior Brother, practice your skills well."

If you have any questions about the boxing techniques, feel free to ask your junior brother. We are not only fellow disciples, but also family.

Having said that, he strode away with an arrogant gait.

Duan Xuan cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Zhang Chen, who chuckled and stood beside him like a big bear.

Just then, Zhao Hui and Zhao Dazhong, a brother and sister, strolled over from the small courtyard, and Chen Feng happened to arrive at the front yard as well.

"Today, I will teach you the Mountain-Breaking Fist."

First, you need to understand one thing clearly: the Mountain-Breaking Fist is not simply a fist technique, but a killing technique.

"A killing technique!" Duan Xuan felt these three words resonating deep within his chest.

"Martial arts techniques all originated from the purpose of fighting."

If it cannot be associated with the words "killing technique," then this skill is mostly just for show.

Our Poshan Martial Arts School's signature technique is also a killing technique!

Relying on his abundant blood and qi, he mobilized the internal and external strength of his body and gathered it into a single punch.

He can cut through mountains and cleave through water, breaking through all the laws of the world!

This is why I usually have you practice stance training more often, not just to improve your Qi and blood.

Rather, stance training serves the training method, providing it with a solid foundation.

With a solid foundation and powerful techniques at your disposal, the ability to kill will come naturally!

Our Mountain-Breaking Fist has a total of six moves and eighteen forms. Today, I will teach you three the first move, the Mountain-Opening Form, as well as the three accompanying forms.

"Zhang Chen, come here."

Zhang Chen's eye twitched, he respectfully addressed him as "Master," and slunk away.

"The Mountain-Opening Stance is the initial practice of breaking through mountains, splitting obstacles, and shattering shackles."

The basic straight punch power, honed through hammering and refining, forms a solid foundation and is the fundamental basis for generating power in the entire set of boxing techniques.

It emphasizes direct, forceful attacks and a strategy of overcoming obstacles through sheer force.

As he spoke, Chen Feng planted his feet firmly in a horse stance, lowered his waist and hips, tucked his chest and straightened his back, and tensed all his muscles and bones.

The right fist is delivered in a straight line from the waist, without shrugging the shoulder or swaying the elbow, and the power originates from the soles of the feet.

The energy is transmitted through the waist and spine to the fist, with the fist surface flat, striking directly in front.

In Duan Xuan's eyes, this punch was still not as fast as the wooden stake he had demonstrated on the day he became a disciple.

But Zhang Chen's expression changed drastically, and he quickly crossed his arms to protect his chest.

Chen Feng reduced his strength to one-tenth.

Snapped--

With each punch, Zhang Chen, despite his massive size, was forced to retreat three to five steps.

His smiling face was filled with pain.

"This is the Ming Jin strike, the first move of the Opening Mountain style—breaking the earth."

There are no fancy routines, nor any unnecessary changes.

But by taking root in our feet, we unleash our indomitable spirit and forcefully deliver a punch.

Refining your core strength will solidify your overall power and prevent you from becoming weak and ineffective.

The main purpose of this punch was to test the opponent's strength.

If your opponent is weaker than you, this punch could very well open their center gate, allowing you to then slash in...

His gaze suddenly sharpened as he fixed his eyes on Zhang Chen once more.

The imposing Zhang Chen felt a chill run down his spine and quickly assumed a fighting stance.

My master uses Ming Jin cultivation, and so do I. Should I avoid your sharp edge?

Zhang Chen took the initiative to attack, and Chen Feng once again assumed a fighting stance.

The first move, "Breaking Through the Earth," directly clashed with Zhang Chen's fist.

Zhang Chen felt that, at the same level, his physical strength was far inferior to his master's, and his hands were numb from the shock.

However, Chen Feng stood still while throwing a punch.

His waist suddenly twisted, using the twisting force of his waist and hips combined with the sinking force of his legs, and his fists alternately and continuously punched straight out.

The punching speed increased significantly, and the force was layered.

Moreover, the timing of the punches is very well controlled.

A front punch to block, a rear punch to strike—all the body's energy and blood were transformed into a fierce and explosive force that burst forth in a short, sharp burst.

Then you could hear a continuous crackling sound.

Although Zhang Chen was also a Ming Jin (a type of martial arts expert), his stance was somewhat disrupted by the first punch, and he was completely put on the defensive afterwards.

Duan Xuan hissed softly. This fist technique was so powerful, it was unreasonable.

Just when he thought the two moves were over, Chen Feng shouted, "Mountain-Splitting Strike, the final move—Broken Wall!"

"No way? Master, again?" Zhang Chen's whole body was numb from those two moves. His muscles seemed to have become much softer from the beating.

Chen Feng did not answer him, but simply made a gesture of gathering strength.

The movements were significantly lowered and the speed slowed down, clearly indicating a tendency to end the stance.

The next moment, he pushed off the ground with both legs, and all the blood and energy in his body gathered on his right fist, making the fist no longer straight.

Instead, it blasted out with a downward, crushing force.

Those present seemed to hear a faint, accompanying sound of air bursting.

Then, Zhang Chen's feet left the ground and he fell backward.

In one smooth motion, Chen Feng threw a punch, arched his fist, and retracted his fist. He straightened his posture and took a breath: "If the first move of the Mountain Opening Stance is used to test the waters..."

Once you've tested the opponent and found that their strength or power is inferior to yours...

The second move, "Stone Breaking," follows immediately, with the force of the punches overlapping. By leveraging the power generated underfoot from the "Mountain Breaking Stance" technique, the power is amplified.

If your opponent is physically strong, has excellent defense, or is stronger than you, there's no need to rush.

By using the initial combo attacks, one can also look for opportunities and exploit the opponent's weaknesses.

After two moves, the Mountain-Breaking Stance Technique is not about breaking through.

Instead, one must use the forward steps from the Mountain-Breaking Technique to execute the third move, Broken Wall.

This move is the essence of all the power gathered in your first strike.

Concentrate your strength into one or both fists and unleash a powerful punch.

Even a master of the same realm, at the Transformation stage, can break through the opponent's protective aura!

Duan Xuan listened with great enthusiasm, while Zhao Zazhong and Zhao Hui's sister nodded frequently beside him.

They were clearly stunned by Chen Feng's three moves.

Then, Chen Feng demonstrated it twice in slow motion, and left with his hands behind his back.

"The three forms of the Mountain Opening Stance are not unusual, but when combined with the martial artist's strength, they become a killing move."

In every movement, there must be no hesitation or wavering; one must forge ahead relentlessly and never give up.

Once you've mastered the moves and techniques, you can use them in combination.

Now that you're making your first contact, you need to follow the steps and gradually familiarize yourself with the routine.

Once you reach the Ming Jin level, I will teach you the second move.

Before the hidden force, the third move is the completion of the manifest force.

The hidden force and the above are the last three moves.

Practice more, and feel free to ask your senior brother Zhang Chen if you have any questions!

He patted Zhang Chen on the shoulder heavily.

Zhang Chen looked bitter, almost kneeling down and begging for mercy, shouting "Master, spare my life!"

After Chen Feng left, Zhao Zazhong and Zhao Hui, the siblings, went to find a place to practice together.

Chen Feng stood there, carefully recalling his movements, but after several repetitions, it seemed to have no effect.

"Junior brother, your stance training is good, but you're not converting enough of your qi and blood into power. That's not how you fight."

"Come, come, let your senior brother teach you a few moves. Don't worry, I'll only use thirty percent of my strength!"

They practiced from morning until noon, had a short lunch, and then continued practicing until evening.

Duan Xuan was so tired that he couldn't straighten his back, and his legs felt so weak and sore that they felt like they were about to break.

Zhang Chen finally let out a sigh of relief: "That felt so good!"

"Junior brother, practice hard." Zhang Chen handed Duan Xuan a coarse grain pancake and went back in a good mood.

Duan Xuan shook his head. Although he had been used as a punching bag all day, but—

Humanity rewards diligence, and Heaven rewards those who help themselves.
