I practice martial arts by adding skill points in modern city-Chapter 76 - 069 Night Raid

Pa! Pa! Pa!

The second-floor balcony, without the lights on.

A nimble figure was fiercely punching in the darkness, with crackling sounds of thunder.

Baji Fist truly deserves its reputation as the most formidable martial arts killing technique. Every move emphasizes toughness, ferocity, and hardness; it requires particular strength and bones from the Martial Artist.

When discussing Muay Thai from Thailand, it has some similarities with Baji Fist, both advocating a deadly, powerful strike, leaving opponents injured after an encounter.

A single Sky-reaching Cannon by Wang Longhu, though aimed at the formless air, seemed to shake the entire atmosphere slightly, causing the rainwater splashing into the balcony to explode and splatter onto the walls.

Wang Longhu steadied himself and retracted his punch, slowly exhaling a breath of white mist.

Though Baji Fist is often considered as External Boxing, it is also said to result in internal and external perfection. This method is known as ’Exhale’.

Baji Fist is divided into upper, middle, and lower combat forms, distinguished by inner four extremes and outer four extremes, totaling eight extremes.

The inner four extremes are eyes, intent, Qi, and strength. The outer four extremes are head, body, hands, and feet. Martial Artists during practice need to use their strength to produce the sounds of ’hum and ha’, strengthening the lungs until it can trigger the Dantian.

And the stomping power of Hong Wentai comes from training the hum and ha Qi through Exhale, which can be said to be the essence of Baji Fist, no less significant than the transformative Qi of Xingyi Boxing.

However, to train the hum and ha Qi, one must first practice the basic methods of Qi consolidation in the Dantian, Qi transportation throughout the body, and Qi flow. Ensuring the Martial Artist has Qi to use, and that Qi can circulate within the lungs, then tugging down to the Dantian.

If this step isn’t achieved, no matter how long Baji Fist is practiced, it remains a waste of time.

A powerful Baji Fist Martial Artist, once the Dantian exerts force, a rush of Qi rises to the lungs, exhaled through the nostrils, with inhalation as hum, and exhalation as ha.

At this moment, strength courses through the spine, energy channels into the palms and fingers, making thunderous sounds while punching, breaking like a mountain collapsing, an intimidating presence, taking an upper hand with a strong suppressive momentum.

Wang Longhu just started learning Baji Fist with Hong Wentai, not yet quickly delving into Exhale, needing to start with practicing Qi consolidation in the Dantian.

What is Qi consolidation?

It refers to a person inhaling deeply, holding that breath and sinking it into the throat, settling in the lungs, and finally descending to the Dantian.

Imagine containing this breath within the Dantian, this is Qi consolidation.

Only when the Dantian contains Qi, can Qi be transported throughout the body and drawn to the lungs, which is quite different from Xingyi Boxing.

The essence of Xingyi Boxing is propelled by the Martial Artist’s own spine through the Three-body form, generated from Qi and Blood, which is Inner Qi.

Baji Fist, on the other hand, draws from external absorption to be utilized by the body, which is Outer Qi.

Learning both boxing techniques, Wang Longhu couldn’t help but curiously question himself if this is truly internal and external perfection.

It is also unknown what changes these two methods will eventually bring to the Martial Artist’s body after long-term practice.

[Name: Wang Longhu]

[Strength: 1.85]

[Constitution: 2.00 (Limit)]

[Spirit: 0.99]

[Skills: Basic Fitness Lv3 (100/300), Three-body Form Lv4 (5/400), Xingyi Boxing Lv3 (70/300), Lightweight Skill Lv3 (90/300), Baji Fist Lv1 (50/100)]

[Potential Points: 0]

Today’s lunch and dinner altogether provided Wang Longhu with 0.08 potential points, still all added to strength first.

Which caused the current rapid increase in Wang Longhu’s physical strength, nearing the human limit of 2.0.

Since Dong County, such a small place, lacks high-tech equipment to test fist striking power, Wang Longhu hasn’t been able to get a specific understanding of his physical strength despite practicing martial arts for so long.

Whenever he has the chance to go outside the island, Wang Longhu plans to find a place to measure his physical abilities.

"The Child’s Training and Marrow Cleansing Scripture are difficult to understand indeed, after examining them for two days, there’s still no sign of comprehension. It’s hard to imagine how long it takes for the big monk and Master Hong to achieve entry-level understanding." Looking at the panel, Wang Longhu felt quite emotional.

Previously, reading wuxia novels, there were always some wandering swordsmen who obtained top martial arts manuals, then secluded themselves in deep mountains and forests for decades, only slightly mastering some skills before emerging to make a name for themselves.

At the time, Wang Longhu found this somewhat unscientific, but now, it doesn’t seem entirely unreasonable.

Upon taking a closer look at the Marrow Cleansing Scripture and Child’s Training, you distinctly notice these martial arts differ greatly from Xingyi Boxing and Baji Fist, appearing like products of two divergent domains: the materialist and the idealist.

Whoosh!

Just as Wang Longhu sighed deeply, a subtle chill swept over, precisely targeting his back.

Wang Longhu felt a chill rush up his spine to the back of his head, instantly raising goosebumps all over his skin. Without any stray thoughts, Wang Longhu urgently dashed to the side.

Turning his head, he saw a glint of cold light narrowly missing the spot he had just stood. It was a very typical martial arts knife with an edge, which would have been critical if it slashed into a person.

"Hmm?" The knife-wielder was surprised that Wang Longhu had evaded the sneak attack, causing his pupils to enlarge and uttered an unbelievable muffled hum.

This person had gray hair, wore a mask on his face, dressed in a silk martial arts training attire, someone Wang Longhu had never seen before.

Along with the confusion, Wang Longhu felt more anger, an unstoppable rage.

Staying put in his home without provoking anyone, yet recently trouble had repeatedly approached him with constant provocations.

The old lady from last time hadn’t cooled herself down on her corpse; tonight, another old man showed up, these people must be in cahoots.

Wang Longhu instinctively determined that he must have touched the cake belonging to those hidden martial artist organizations in Dong County, as mentioned by the big monk, like the tide gang and overseas organizations.

These people could waste decades lurking in Dong County in search of the possibly non-existent Marrow Cleansing Scripture; their minds have long eroded beyond repair.

Emerging as a Ming Jin expert, Wang Longhu naturally caught the attention of this group, eliminating a formidable competitor had become their first thought. freewebnøvel_com

Within a flash, Wang Longhu mentally pieced together everything, applying what he thought was the correct logic.

In that case, these people couldn’t stay; living only brings disturbance to oneself.

Wang Longhu clenched his fists, his arms emitting a dull clamor, instantly lunging wholeheartedly at the masked old man without any further ado.

This moment, Wang Longhu truly transformed into a fierce downhill tiger, moving with astonishing speed, reaching the masked old man within a blink, launching a Tiger Form Cannon fiercely, with such force that it burst into an ear-piercing roar even amidst heavy rainfall.

Pang!

The masked old man, reacting, attempted to slash Wang Longhu’s arm with the knife, but his reflex was slow, resulting in a sluggish motion.

Before he could slash, Wang Longhu’s fist struck squarely at his chest, followed by the instantaneous sound of bones breaking.

The masked old man had no time to stand firm, his body flew back rapidly like a cannonball, punched fiercely by Wang Longhu right out of the balcony.
