I practice martial arts by adding skill points in modern city-Chapter 75 - 068. When three people walk together, there is always one I can learn from.

Chapter 75: 068. When three people walk together, there is always one I can learn from.

But he actually managed to crack the concrete pillar with his elbow. Although the elbow is the hardest part of the human body, the destructive force was still quite outrageous.

You should know that Wang Longhu was only able to crack stones after mastering the Dark Force.

"Hmph!" Hong Wentai jumped up again, and the ground cracked with fine lines once more.

"Paddle top uplift, the striking force is complete, like a fierce tiger climbing the mountain, fierce tiger hard climbing mountain!" Using the jump’s force, Hong Wentai leapt up, spread his palms, and swung his arms with great force, landing with a bang on the concrete pillar.

Immediately, the surface of the concrete pillar began to crack more and more, gradually spreading out, looking just like a spider’s web.

"Push, press, support with short and fast strikes, Yama’s Point Hand only three strikes, Yama’s Three-Point Hand!"

At the moment of landing, Hong Wentai first struck with his left palm, then with his right, quickly retracting his palms to his chest’s sides, then rapidly slamming them out, this time causing the concrete pillar to have a circular crack and dropping a large amount of dust.

"Sky-reaching Cannon like a fire cannon, unstoppable forward, Sky-reaching Cannon!"

He turned his body and punched out, landing a punch that caused the entire concrete pillar to shake, making Wang Longhu’s scalp tingle, just as he considered advising Master Hong to calm down a bit.

Hong Wentai gritted his teeth, his entire jaw tensed to the point of showing the outlines of his jawbone clearly, and even his neck’s major veins bulged like dragons and snakes, clearly a sign of exerting great force.

"Ha!"

He stepped to the side, using his foot to destroy, with hips driving shoulder and elbow, shoulder and elbow as the apex, waist and horse powering, crashing directly into the already worn-out concrete pillar.

This collision could be described as crushing dead wood, self-sacrificing without ego.

The concrete pillar could no longer hold, instantly cracking, the upper and lower sections shifting and sending dust swirling all around.

You should know that this concrete pillar was used to support the second-floor balcony, forty centimeters wide, solid internally, and made of robust materials.

Hong Wentai, a martial artist who hasn’t reached even Ming Jin, was able to break such a concrete pillar within a few moves with Baji Fist, clearly demonstrating Baji Fist’s formidable hard strikes and entry.

Wang Longhu couldn’t help but applaud: "Good! Good!"

"Hiss! Hurt me to death." As the blood dispersed, Hong Wentai’s face returned to pale, yet exhibited no masterly demeanor, clutching his arm and shoulder showing a remorseful expression of pulling a muscle, truly breaking the atmosphere.

Who would believe it was this guy who broke this concrete pillar without seeing it firsthand?

Even though it hurt, Hong Wentai still endured and explained to Wang Longhu the key points of Baji Fist.

"Tai Chi doesn’t go out for ten years, Shape Intent kills in a year, Baji smashes doors in half a year, there’s a saying in Baji Fist: ’fists light as feathers, palms as heavy, elbows deadly,’ fists injure tendons and bones, palms strike internal organs, elbows penetrate through,

Just now, I struck the fierce tiger hard climbing the mountain, hitting the brain skull, then scratching down with five fingers, gouging the eyes, like a fierce tiger.

Yama’s Three-Point Hand can be fists or palms, the first two punches aim at the face, and the last kicks stepping to crush, punching under the ribs.

Sky-reaching Cannon is a sidestepping technique targeting the throat and chin, when striking, remember to protect the groin, kicking and protecting the groin must be remembered as one of Baji Fist’s core methods.

In an encounter, if merely sparring, punch instead of palm, if life and death, elbow instead of palm, the apex elbow is Baji Fist’s deadliest strike.

Baji Fist is a killing skill and an External Boxing, effectiveness depends entirely on how strong one’s body is, external training of tendons, bones, and skin is crucial, if a person has no strength, what they throw out cannot be called Baji Fist either."

Hong Wentai was drenched in sweat, showing that even if he could break a concrete pillar, the force exertion was very taxing, typically after these few intensive moves, the person has little energy left.

Wang Longhu quickly asked the question he’d been curious about the whole time: "Master Hong, your Baji Fist hasn’t reached the level of Ming Jin, how did you manage to break concrete with force? Even when I got Ming Jin, it was quite difficult to achieve this."

Hong Wentai chuckled proudly: "This is the benefit of External Boxing’s tough training of tendons, bones, and skin, thick-skinned and strong, setting the foundation, paired with Baji Fist’s stomping, enhances a martial artist’s power, it’s not Ming Jin but resembles Ming Jin, true full force isn’t much weaker."

"Stomping?" Wang Longhu asked with a puzzled face.

"It’s like when I stomped earlier, the force you stomp on the ground feeds back, transmitting to the waist axis, creating new force, striking when the moment is right, Baji Fist’s moves are more ferocious, as long as you’re not afraid of pain, breaking concrete or bricks isn’t difficult.

This may seem domineering and cool, but unless it’s absolutely necessary, try not to do it, long-term practice of External Boxing can harm the body, easy to leave hidden threats within, when you’re old, big and small illnesses are a lot, life is tough,

This is why External Boxing martial artists peak period doesn’t last as long as Internal Boxing martial artists, one matures quickly with early bloom, the other matures later but lasts longer," Hong Wentai patiently explained.

He then demonstrated for Wang Longhu the six major openings, eight major moves, and other small postures of Baji Fist, but didn’t teach them in detail, just allowing Wang Longhu to have a rough overview of Baji Fist’s path, how much he learns depends on his own realization.

Martial artist transmission divides into three types: Exchange, Apprentice, Closed-door Disciple.

Exchange means two martial artists briefly sharing moves and routines, learning what one can.

An apprentice does so after formally acknowledging a master, learns as the master demonstrates, asks about unclear points, but the master won’t actively analyze the apprentice’s faults or guide them step by step.

A closed-door disciple holds a status akin to a biological son, the martial artist trains with them, teaching all boxing moves unreservedly, providing guidance, correcting any flaws noticed in the disciple’s practice.

Hong Wentai considered Wang Longhu as the first type, in his view, their relationship was ordinary, just some acquaintance from delivering goods by rickshaw.

Wang Longhu expressed an interest in learning Baji Fist, so Hong Wentai demonstrated it, nothing more, Wang Longhu didn’t request apprenticeship, so Hong Wentai felt he had done his best by demonstrating.

For the majority, merely watching once doesn’t teach much good.

But Wang Longhu had a panel at hand, one cannot use common sense to judge, after careful contemplation, Wang Longhu examined the panel, indeed the name Baji Fist appeared.

"What are you all doing? Making such a racket."

In the martial arts practice room, the big monk rushed out, looked at the broken concrete pillar, and asked in a daze.

These past two days, outside eating, drinking, defecating, he’d been spending all his time in the practice room studying Marrow Cleansing Scripture, Wang Longhu and Hong Wentai had been almost the same.

No wonder both the Marrow Cleansing Scripture and Boy’s Skill are called miraculous skills, Wang Longhu had been struggling to comprehend them for two days, failing to understand, so the panel hasn’t shown any characters, indicating he hadn’t even reached a preliminary understanding.

"Learning Baji Fist from Master Hong, gaining knowledge." Wang Longhu replied with a plain smile.

Supporting the second-floor balcony were five concrete pillars, he naturally wasn’t worried Hong Wentai breaking one would cause any problem.

"I thought something unexpected happened." The big monk breathed a sigh of relief and returned to continue studying the Marrow Cleansing Scripture.

"Try it yourself, if you have questions, feel free to ask me." Hong Wentai picked up the big spear placed next to him, and resumed practicing by himself.

"Okay." Wang Longhu moved to a nearby empty spot, recalling in his mind the moves Hong Wentai had just demonstrated, and immediately began practicing them attentively.

Even without reaching Ming Jin, Hong Wentai could break concrete using Baji Fist.

What kind of destructive power would he have once he has mastered Baji Fist, given he’s already reached the Dark Force himself, Wang Longhu was quite excited.

...

As night followed sunset, in the daytime the rain poured like a waterfall, making it hard to see things ten meters away.

By nightfall, visibility shrank even more, being limited to three meters.

Atop the long pit, in the midst of old houses, only Wang Longhu’s grandmother’s house remained lit with a warm yellow light, extremely noticeable in the rainy night.

Nobody noticed, around the dark corners of the old houses, figures slowly emerged wearing raincoats.

"Move, leave no one."
