"Do we need to move to another place?"
Since Feng Zhichen had spoken, Xu Lingjun naturally had no objections.
He looked around and said, "How about we go to the backyard?"
Feng Zhichen laughed, "No need, right here will do. You don't have to worry about breaking anything in the room, I'm here."
Earlier, he wasn't really interested in a young boy's so-called innovation.
But just the phrase "only the firm cannot last, and the soft cannot defend" was enough to make him look at him differently.
It happens that over the years, his Flame Slaying Fist has reached a bottleneck. You must know, the Flame Killing Fist was actually the martial skill he created in his early days, powerful yet with a strong backlash. In order to reduce this backlash, he'd been racking his brains all these years but never fully succeeded…
And back then, the Lie brothers had both received his true teachings, and even they said that the real Flame Killing Fist was nothing before this Xu Lingjun.
Which means this kid has truly brought forth innovation. If I could combine the two…
Maybe he could bring me a surprise.
Feng Zhichen smiled and said, "Come on."
"Here I come then."
Xu Lingjun took a deep breath.
His legs slightly bent, and he set his stance.
The True Qi within him began to circulate.
Initially gathering Qi, the Qi force contained within the Qi blood would turn entirely into True Qi in later stages.
During this time, although Xu Lingjun earnestly learned cultural knowledge, he wasn't idle in the Martial Tao either. The "Infinite Divine Demon Body Refining Technique" had made great progress… After all, not everyone could consume Blood Replenishing Elixirs like ordinary pills like him.
"The Flame Killing Fist I practice is no longer purely a forceful fist."
Xu Lingjun said earnestly, "As the saying goes, 'the overly firm breaks easily, the gentle is undefeated, firmness cannot last, softness cannot defend,' so only with firmness and gentleness combined can one reach the pinnacle!"
"That is also my dilemma, come on."
Feng Zhichen's eyes brightened, thinking to himself that he'd heard another deeply meaningful phrase, feeling like he had already gained some insight.
This punch, he will surely bring me a surprise…
"Here I come!"
Xu Lingjun let out a low roar, his bones resounding with a series of crackling eruptions. Before even throwing a punch, a chilling intent had already burgeoned around.
As if a colorful and swift tiger was descending the mountain, a ferocious aura pounced straight at him.
Sun Lingli couldn't help but have her eyes shimmer, only feeling that a serious man was incredibly charming...
At this moment, with the full exertion of the "Infinite Divine Demon Body Refining Technique," while the True Qi within surged.
Xu Lingjun seemed like a shell fired from a cannon, crashing toward Feng Zhichen.
The sharp whistling sound accompanied by howling fist force, the spotless and refined fist was now shrouded in a faint white smoke…
This was due to the extreme friction between the fist and the air…
Sun Lingli had also followed Feng Zhichen in practicing the Flame Killing Fist, naturally aware of its great power, and the only downside being some damage to the body.
But this handsome guy, no, what Xu Lingjun displayed…
She blinked in confusion, wasn't he just talking about combining firmness and gentleness, saying things like firmness cannot last, softness cannot defend, where did the softness go? It's gone?
Why does the punch appear even fiercer than the most forceful version of the Flame Killing Fist skill I know?
This has obviously gone further than the previous ferocity, causing greater harm to his own physical health.
Bang~~~!!!
Xu Lingjun's punch hit Feng Zhichen squarely in the chest and abdomen.
Like falling on defeated cotton, there was no fierce wind sweeping away everything behind Feng Zhichen…
This indicates that this Xu Lingjun truly isn't just incredibly handsome and excellent in grades; he has real skills, gathering all his strength into one point.
Feng Zhichen: "........."
He glanced at the punch on his body, and the previous chuckling smile disappeared, his mouth forming a tight line. He asked, "Finished?"
In admiration, Xu Lingjun said, "Elder Feng is truly impressive, to remain unharmed after receiving my full punch."
"Not bad, not bad."
Feng Zhichen nodded in appreciation a few times and said, "I have already gained some insights that I urgently need to return and meditate upon. Leave me your number, I'll contact you then."
"Alright."
Xu Lingjun recited the number once.
Before Feng Zhichen could speak, Sun Lingli had already quickly jotted it down in her notebook and smiled, "Master, I got it down."
This child seems quite perceptive at this moment.
Feng Zhichen looked at his disciple in surprise and said, "Alright, let's go."
With that said, he turned and walked out.
Sun Lingli followed behind, and the master and disciple exited the room.
Sun Lingli was still surprised, saying, "Earlier he was talking about combining firmness and gentleness, I thought he would unleash some extremely exquisite fist force, but it turned out so fierce… Ah, master, what's wrong?"
Seeing Feng Zhichen suddenly leaning against the wall.
She hurried over to support her master.
Feng Zhichen smiled wryly, "I thought the same as you, hearing that kid talk so esoterically, I was quite wary as well, so I didn't protect my exterior, but laid layers of True Essence within. As soon as his True Qi invaded, I could immediately dissolve it into nothing, but I truly didn't expect, nine-tenths of his punch was external skills, only one-tenth was inner strength. This kid looks refined and gentle, but who would have known his internal brute strength is astonishing, truly a human-shaped monster."
Lay True Essence within?
But external skills hit the flesh…
Sun Lingli instantly understood Feng Zhichen's meaning, she worriedly said, "Then why didn't you deflect that force?"
"Deflect it where? The floor or the TV behind us? Earlier, I boasted so much, if I broke something in his house, how would I keep face?"
Feng Zhichen clutched his stomach and sighed, "You didn't see the look that little girl gave me… Almost deifying me, how could I lose face?"
"Master, you really are…"
Sun Lingli was speechless.
"Alright, though I took a punch, what that kid said is also right, his Flame Killing Fist is indeed firmness and gentleness combined. It was worth taking that hit, I've already had some realizations."
"Master, you don't need to pretend in front of me, do you?"
Sun Lingli rolled her eyes and said, "The Flame Killing Fist of Xu Lingjun's is extremely fierce, where's the gentleness in it?"
"That's just because he hasn't fully mastered it yet. Although this kid created such a powerful martial skill, he's limited by his abilities to fully grasp it, but I can. This time I've owed a huge favor."
Feng Zhichen said, "Later on, reach out to him and see what kind of martial skill he needs. Even if I don't have it, I'll find someone else to get it for him."
"Yes!"
Sun Lingli's eyes suddenly lit up, responding loudly.
The two returned to the place arranged by the Martial Arts Association for them to rest.
Taking a punch, though unharmed, after all, being an old man, pain is inevitable, it would take an hour or two of rest to recover.
And just after sending off the master and disciple pair.
Xu Lingjun received a message from an unfamiliar number.
The message was quite long.
The main idea was probably to remind Xu Lingjun to remember this number, saying she would represent her master to keep in touch with him.
"Sun Lingli, seventeen, orphaned since childhood, followed her master, has been internally designated as the successor of the Wind Fist Style, now about to take the Dragon Gate Examination. I wonder which Martial Mansion you intend to apply to, if we could become classmates, that would be great…"
Wang Qingya read it with a strangely amused smile, looking at Xu Lingjun, she said, "So according to expectations, her dowry would be the entire Wind Fist Style. Have you heard of the Wind Fist Style? It's a very renowned style created by Elder Feng in his youth."
Xu Lingjun shook his head, "No."
His gaze landed on the last part of the matchmaking-like information…
Only at the very end did she ask a pertinent question.
"What type of martial skill do you want?"
What kind of martial skill…
Xu Lingjun pondered silently, I wondered whether I needed any martial skills?
Then he confirmed, yes, he needed them.
If Feng Zhichen bore any ill will, today, neither he nor Sister Yaya could escape. If attacks couldn't breach defenses, what then? He would just end up breaking two of his own teeth trying to bite…
Inpenetrability is truly the most terrifying opponent.
I need to become stronger.
