Purple Mist Dao Master-Chapter 3 "Mutual Teaching and Learning

In the Martial Arts Training Ground.

Wei Quan diligently practiced the 'Twelve Bridge Hands'.

New novel 𝓬hapters are published on freёwebnoѵel.com.

What is 'Bridge Hand'?

The so-called 'Bridge' refers to a person's arms.

The term 'Bridge Hand' means that when the opponent attacks, one can cleverly use the distance between themselves and the opponent, using their arms as a 'bridge' to block the opponent's offensive, and at the same time make a counterattack while blocking.

The 'Twelve Bridge Hands' of the Iron Wire Martial Arts Hall, although just a basic boxing technique, requires training one's arms to be as hard as iron. This way, in actual combat, when the opponent throws a punch, just one Bridge Hand can break the opponent's arm.

Wei Quan still lacked fire control.

"Wei Quan, your 'Steel Bridge' is still not correct."

Yan Chuan strode forward, instructing Wei Quan, "What is 'Steel Bridge'? Steel, hard it is. Force is pushed into the palms and arms, making the hands as hard as iron, this is the Steel Bridge. The stance of the Steel Bridge is that the hand is high and not low."

Twelve Bridge Hands—

Hard, Soft, Push, Straight, Separate, Set, String, Lift, Stay, Transport, Control, Determination!

Each has its specialty.

Yan Chuan pointed out verbally, demonstrating with his hands, and while demonstrating for Wei Quan, he also tapped and corrected Wei Quan's posture and force exertion.

Under the instruction of the senior brother, Wei Quan had a different experience today.

In the past, whether it was the master or senior brother, or even Yu Jinpeng or Jin Yutang, when explaining, he always felt a bit confused and could not completely comprehend.

Cai Liang privately said that he had a wooden brain and was not suitable for practicing martial arts.

Unconvinced, Wei Quan worked even harder in martial arts, but the results were indeed minimal, with slow progress, causing him to doubt himself at one point.

But today is different.

Perhaps it's because of three years of martial arts practice, the 'Twelve Bridge Hands' fire control was sufficient.

Or perhaps the senior brother's instruction was accurate and clear.

In short.

Wei Quan had a sudden enlightenment feeling, and previously the various crucial points that could not be understood no matter how they were taught were all clear at this moment.

This feeling, so exhilarating!

"Senior Brother!"

"I understand now!"

Wei Quan was ecstatic, and the Twelve Bridge Hands, from this point, were transparent!

...

["Mutual Teaching and Learning" (Level One): Your explanation will enhance the listener's comprehension efficiency by 50%. In addition, the listener's understanding and thinking will feedback to you, and you will gain corresponding 'Experience'.]

(To upgrade to the next level, 10,000 Experience need to be consumed.)

...

By instructing Wei Quan and explaining in such a way, "Mutual Teaching and Learning" was automatically triggered. For Wei Quan, he could understand 50% more efficiently, and with an additional 50%, he could now understand what he previously could not, hear what he previously could not.

Plus, with Wei Quan's three years of diligent hard work and accumulation, this 50% acted like a valve for accumulated wealth ready to release, instantly leading to enlightenment.

Wei Quan was overjoyed.

Yan Chuan was also pleased.

With the triggering of "Mutual Teaching and Learning", not only did Wei Quan benefit, but so did Yan Chuan. During the guidance, bits and pieces of understanding and thinking regarding 'Twelve Bridge Hands' were fed back to him from Wei Quan—

[Your 'Twelve Bridge Hands' have improved, Skill Level +1]

[Your 'Twelve Bridge Hands' have improved, Skill Level +2]

[Twelve Bridge Hands (Fifth Realm of Mastery): 42/100]

(Martial Arts Mastery Levels are divided into: First Realm: Beginner, Second Realm: First Glimpse, Third Realm: Entering the Hall, Fourth Realm Slightly Accomplished, Fifth Realm of Mastery, Sixth Realm Refining, Seventh Realm: Transcendent, Eighth Realm Peak, Ninth Realm Return to Simplicity)

...

At the same time, there were some insights beyond the 'Twelve Bridge Hands' that were fed back in the form of 'Experience'—

[Experience +1]

"In the process of instructing, explaining, and demonstrating, I had thoughts, Wei Quan also had, mine combined with Wei Quan's feedback, deepening my understanding of the 'Twelve Bridge Hands'."

"But the key is still the 'Experience'!"

[Experience: Each point can enhance fifteen minutes of martial arts focus, greatly accelerating cultivation progress.]

(Current daily acquisition limit: 10)

"Daily limit 10 points."

"1 point of Experience focuses for 15 minutes."

"That is to say, a maximum of two and a half hours a day."

For studying, it might not be enough.

But for martial arts practice, two and a half hours of absolute focus is sufficient.

Yan Chuan silently studied, deepening his understanding of "Mutual Teaching and Learning".

On this side.

Wei Quan was full of enthusiasm: "Senior Brother, I now feel that I have thoroughly practiced the 'Twelve Bridge Hands', can I start practicing 'Tiger Form Boxing' and 'Crane Form Boxing'?"

'Twelve Bridge Hands' is the foundation.

'Tiger Form Boxing' and 'Crane Form Boxing' are progressions.

The apprentice's boxing progress at Iron Wire Martial Arts Hall is thus.

"Stabilize for two more days, then start practicing 'Tiger Form Boxing'." Yan Chuan nodded with a smile. Having one more disciple practicing 'Tiger Form Boxing' and 'Crane Form Boxing' in the Martial Arts Hall is certainly a good thing.

Just in time.

The progress of Yu Jinpeng was also here.

"You observe for a while."

Yan Chuan brought Wei Quan to the side of Yu Jinpeng, who was pondering 'Tiger Form Boxing'.

Yu Jinpeng, aged 24, had been an apprentice for 11 years, considered a veteran. But his talent in martial arts was even slightly inferior to Yan Chuan's; he had been practicing martial arts since the age of thirteen, after eleven years of diligent practice, he was still stuck in the 'Tiger Form Boxing' and 'Crane Form Boxing' stage and could not progress to the 'Gongzi Fuhu Fist'.

He was very hardworking.

But his progress was minimal.

"Wei Quan."

"The tiger is a carnivorous animal in the mountain; its body is large, its pounce is fierce, and it is resolute when making a decision, with no hesitation. This boxing takes this natural specialty, imitating its form, practicing it into boxing, used for strengthening the body and defeating enemies, named as 'Tiger Form Boxing'."

"The tiger's body is huge, its energy is vigorous, with just one leap, it can hunt its target from beyond a distance. Especially its pair of tiger claws has amazing power. Therefore, 'Tiger Form Boxing' emphasizes fierceness and strength, with a deep-seated horse stance."

"When practicing this set of boxing, think more about the techniques in 'Twelve Bridge Hands', and at the same time, the horse stance is also crucial."

"Why does the master require practicing 'Tiger Form Boxing' only after thoroughly mastering 'Horse Stance' and 'Twelve Bridge Hands'? It's because practicing the 'Copper Bridge Iron Horse' well allows for better practice and understanding of 'Tiger Form Boxing'."

Yan Chuan explained from the very basics, also addressing Yu Jinpeng: "Jinpeng, your foundation is solid, but 'Tiger Form Boxing' values form and also meaning; you've mastered the moves, but the impression, the fire control is lacking."

Yan Chuan had been practicing martial arts for twenty years, having perfected 'Tiger Form Boxing'. In the past, he explained many times to Yu Jinpeng, including the other disciples in the Martial Arts Hall; the depth and breadth of his explanations were ample, but how much the individual disciples could understand varied from person to person.

For instance, Yu Jinpeng.

He was just dull; even if Yan Chuan broke it down, he couldn't understand, so Yan Chuan gradually gave up, letting Yu Jinpeng ponder on his own.

Yu Jinpeng also knew his own situation and felt despondent, so he exerted more effort.

But today, Yan Chuan came to instruct again, and Yu Jinpeng was somewhat surprised: "Senior Brother—"

"Practicing 'Tiger Form Boxing', 'Tiger Claw' holds the utmost importance."

Yan Chuan didn't engage in idle talk with Yu Jinpeng, explaining while demonstrating: "'Tiger Claw' is spreading five fingers apart and then curving them inward like a claw. Using 'Tiger Claw' requires sinking Qi to the Dantian, channeling force to the fingertips; if not used, it doesn't matter whether or not it harms the opponent. When striking the opponent with five fingers, imagine stabbing the opponent with steel hooks. Moreover, when exerting force, it is best accompanied by a 'roar' from the Dantian abruptly released in the throat, this is the 'Tiger Roar' sound. It's used to transmit Qi through the arms additionally to increase prestige, making the enemy shiver upon hearing, thus losing the will to fight."

"Roar!"

Yan Chuan executed the tiger claw, one claw grabbing toward Wei Quan, another attacking Yu Jinpeng.

Yu Jinpeng knew this was the senior brother's way of instructing, and he felt joyous inside, once again feeling valued, and immediately used a claw to block.

"Practiced pile steps with proficiency, achieving Qi sinking to the Dantian, strong as an indomitable elder."

"'Tiger Form Boxing' predominantly uses claws in hand shape, emphasizing the power of the fingers, mostly short hitting hard skills, with the upper plate primarily to seal the gates, first defend then attack, with compact movements."

"The lower body stepping technique is renowned for stability, standing pile steps, with 'Horse Stance' as the foundation."

Yan Chuan's martial arts were far superior to Yu Jinpeng's, able to feed the move while explaining to Wei Quan: "Your Brother Yu is down-to-earth, his 'Horse Stance' and 'Twelve Bridge Hands' practiced diligently for eleven years, hence his foundation is solid. Notice his horse step and bridge hand, they are almost ingrained within. With the 'Horse Stance' as the foundation, practicing the 'Tiger Stance' from 'Tiger Form Boxing' yields twice the result with half the effort."

Yu Jinpeng had deficiencies in 'Tiger Form Boxing', lacking not in foundation but in impression.

Three battles, four gates, five foundations, Eight Diagram, Kan trigram, thirty-six hands, and one hundred and eight forms, Yu Jinpeng mastered them all, but due to a shortcoming in mental state caused his 'Tiger Form Boxing' to have only form but no spirit, resulting in deep accomplishments in 'Tiger Stance' static postures, but lacking in moving postures.

Yan Chuan fed moves, giving comprehensive guidance.

"Mutual Teaching and Learning" had the effect of 'understanding efficiency +50%', and with this explanation, Wei Quan understood clearly, Yu Jinpeng even more transparently.

Eleven years practicing martial arts.

Three years practicing 'Tiger Form Boxing'.

He had never experienced such satisfaction—

"Using form as boxing, using meaning as spirit, channeling Qi to power, eyes fierce with intent at the moment of Fa Force, like an angry tiger emerging from the woods, with claws to tear the mountain."

Yu Jinpeng suddenly had an insight, a leg like a tiger extending a tail, striking Yan Chuan fiercely, this is a famous move in 'Tiger Form Boxing' called 'Tiger Tail Kick'. This leg technique belongs to the insidious type of move, capable of turning the tables if used suddenly in a dangerous situation.

Tiger's Pile Body Force originates from the hip and tail.

Being able to execute this move in a battle represents Yu Jinpeng's 'Tiger Form Boxing' proficiency has risen another level.

"Governor penetrates the top, relaxing the liver Qi, stepping on toes, rushing with claw palm; elbow raises, palm flips, hip pushes the beam, foot first hand later, six harmonies as one."

Yu Jinpeng let out a tiger roar, forehead sweaty, yet full of spirit, eyes glaring fiercely at Yan Chuan, joyously saying: "Senior Brother, I understand now!"

Yu Jinpeng!

Tiger Form Boxing!

Eight years foundation, three years accumulation, one morning enlightenment!
