Chapter 85 Big 5 combined fist
In a bustling urban area, deep in a lane, stands a large mansion that occupies almost half of the lane.
The gate of the house is grand and imposing, made of exquisite materials, but the paint has peeled off, revealing the original wood color underneath.
Above the door hangs an old plaque with peeling paint and warped wood, but the characters "Wu Kui" can still be faintly seen. The inscription reads "Yongchang Ten Years," indicating it is a plaque for a martial arts graduate.
The specifications and style are exactly the same as the plaque of Tong Baisui hanging in the Hanshan Martial Arts Hall, but it was from sixty years ago.
Sixty years is enough time for many things to happen.
The door creaked open.
Yang Silang and Wang Daniu walked out of the door, and a refined young man dressed as a scholar saw them off attentively, watching them until they were out of sight before turning his gaze away.
On the street outside the alley.
As the two walked side by side, Wang Daniu suddenly sighed.
"I used to think that the Steel Dirty Martial Arts Master was a great and important person."
"Old Master Qi is a blessed man at the age of one hundred, but as a martial artist, his qi and blood are declining. Even though he can eat and drink and walk freely, he is only in a better condition than an ordinary person."
"If it were me, I wouldn't want to grow up like that, bowing down for a hundred dollars."
Yang Silang sighed and remained silent.
Several pieces of advice from Old Master Qi echoed in his mind.
Breakthroughs should be achieved as early as possible!
The path of martial arts is a series of challenges, each more difficult than the last.
The sooner you break through, the better. Don't waste your potential at lower levels, or you'll lose your edge and opportunities when you try to break through later.
Old Master Qi himself is a counterexample. He only became an Iron Bone Martial Master at the age of thirty-five and a Steel Dirty Grand Martial Master at the age of fifty. After that, he tried to break through to the Mercury Blood Realm, but failed several times.
Achieving the Mercury Blood Realm allows one to replace all the blood in their body once a month, keeping their Qi and blood constantly boiling and full, thus delaying the aging of Qi and blood. However, this only delays the aging process; in old age, one will drop a major realm, but will still have the ability to protect oneself.
Further up, it is said that at the Grandmaster of Golden Marrow realm, the blood is replaced once a week, and the bone marrow is liquefied with gold. Although the blood and qi will still age, they can be locked in a state by secret methods. In old age, the blood and qi are consumed in a low way on weekdays, and they cannot always be at their peak. However, when they go all out, they can instantly recover to their peak state. Although there is a limit to the number of times they can recover in a year, it is enough to deter external enemies.
As for Yang Silang's current situation, Master Qi told him to go to the provincial martial arts academy. As a martial arts graduate, he could apply to study the Five Classics and practice the Taizu Long Fist Steel Dirty Realm boxing technique, which was called the Great Five Harmony Fist.
He's too old, his skill level has declined, and his fighting style is all show and no substance; he's completely incapable of teaching Yang Silang.
Fortunately, Old Master Qi has a junior member of the clan there who can teach him. With Yang Silang's aptitude, he should be able to pick it up easily. This is not a problem.
If one wishes to view the secret manuals of the Taizu Long Fist Mercury Blood Grandmaster, a martial arts graduate is only qualified to apply. The government will issue some tasks every year, and only by completing the tasks can one view them.
Alternatively, if one can wait, one can wait three years until the martial arts examination is held, go to the capital to try one's luck, and if successful, one can naturally view the martial arts manual, the Mercury Blood Secret Manual.
Besides the secret manual, it would be best to have a master of the Taizu Long Fist personally demonstrate and teach you, saving you the time of figuring it out yourself. Of course, you also need to prepare a lot of silver for the accompanying pills, which goes without saying.
There's no such thing as a free lunch, which didn't surprise Yang Silang.
It seems that for now, I should go to the provincial capital's martial arts academy to learn the Great Five-in-One Fist. Once I've become a stable and powerful martial arts master, I can think about other things. If all else fails, I can go to Caoxie Hutong in Beijing to seek out Long Yi, who said he has a special opportunity for himself.
Old Man Long has some connections; he's managed to settle down in the capital, so he probably has some connections.
-
A few days later.
The provincial capital's martial arts academy.
The layout here is almost identical to that of the Gongzhou Prefecture Martial Arts Hall, only larger and more desolate. It seems that being located in the provincial capital cannot turn the martial arts hall, a humble and insignificant government office, into a lucrative one.
A short, stocky, middle-aged man smiled and scanned Yang Silang with his beady eyes.
"So it was my great-uncle who introduced you." He rubbed his fingers together and said slowly, "According to the rules, I cannot teach you the Great Five Combinations Fist unless your cultivation level reaches the Steel-Dirty Grand Martial Master level."
"However, out of respect for my great-uncle, I will make an exception."
Yang Silang said respectfully.
"Thank you very much, Coach Qi, for being lenient."
Of course, making this exception also costs money.
The main source of income for the instructors at the martial arts academy was teaching martial arts and selling medicine.
He had Master Qi's unique formula for selling medicine, so he wouldn't spend money to buy it. He had already mastered the Toad Strength technique and didn't need to learn it. So, according to common sense, in the instructor's eyes, he was a bad student.
No matter how high your martial arts skills are, a student who can't make money for the instructor is not a good student.
Therefore, Yang Silang was very clever and gave this Instructor Qi two hundred taels of silver. The other party was satisfied that he knew how to be tactful, as respecting Master Qi was the most important thing.
If Yang Silang refused to contribute a single penny, Old Master Qi's reputation might suffer, since he was an uncle, not a biological grandfather.
"Watch closely!"
Coach Qi straightened his expression, and his short, stocky frame gained a solemn air.
He performed a set of boxing moves in the open space, talking as he did so, his breathing perfectly steady.
"The so-called Great Five-in-One Fist relies on the powerful internal energy of the Steel-Dirty Martial Master to enhance the power of the Five-in-One Fist, making the moves more complex, like waves crashing, one wave higher than the next, with three layers of force in the palm strikes."
As Coach Qi was speaking, he suddenly threw a punch forward.
Before him stood a man-made wooden stake.
Even though his fist was still half an arm's length away from the stake, which was already the limit for an ordinary person, his bones suddenly creaked, and his arm grew longer than it could have imagined. His fist lightly touched the stake and left immediately.
Yang Silang noticed that Qi Jiaotou's fist suddenly swelled up, becoming much larger, and his skin changed from blue to bright red, with a scorching aura emanating from it.
boom!
The wooden stake trembled heavily, leaving a deep, wet fist-shaped imprint carved into it, penetrating deep into the wood.
Coach Qi's breathing became slightly heavy, clearly indicating that this attack was not easy for him either.
"This is the Steel-Dirty Grandmaster's killing move. When dealing with opponents of the same level, the force can burst out of the enemy's body the moment it touches them, like a needle piercing through their skin."
"Relying on powerful internal organs, one can instantly gather all the body's energy and blood and unleash it, making any part of the body capable of injuring an opponent!"
"The so-called Great Five Elements Fist utilizes this characteristic to multiply its destructive power."
"When fighting ordinary martial artists, one can gather qi and blood in the internal organs and mobilize the strength of the whole body to maintain a powerful output and be far more durable than ordinary people."
"I'll demonstrate the boxing stance for you a few more times. Here's a boxing manual that I copied myself, with my insights on it. You can take it home and study it for half a month before returning it."
Yang Silang was overjoyed.
And so, an afternoon passed.
He finally grasped the basic form of the boxing, took the boxing manual, and left.
For half a month, he practiced boxing without leaving home, mastering the basics on the first night and becoming proficient in half a month.
This day.
He took the boxing manual and a generous gift, and went to the martial arts hall to return the book to Instructor Qi.
We entered the main hall.
Yang Silang bowed, presented the gift, and returned the book.
Coach Qi laughed.
"My great-uncle said you are a promising talent, and your Five Qi Strength is quite good and very solid. It seems that becoming a Steel-Dirty Grand Martial Master is only a matter of time."
"You inquired about the Mercury Blood Master from him."
"What a coincidence! Recently, the government issued a warrant for the capture of fugitives Hong Tatian and Chai Qing. They need to mobilize many martial arts candidates to participate in the capture."
"Those who make meritorious contributions will be promised the opportunity to view the Mercury Blood Manual upon reaching the Steel-Dirty Realm."
"Do you want to participate?"
Yang Silang was taken aback.
Hong Tatian is a thief. Deputy General Chai Qing was implicated by the former and was dismissed from his post. He was Ma Qianli's former master and the deputy chief examiner of the tragedy at the Gongzhou Prefecture Martial Arts Hall.
Back then, Chai Qing and Long Yiyan joined forces to fight against the collapsing sky, and the battle was extremely fierce and dangerous.
Later, Chai Qing lost sight of Long Yi and was imprisoned. He heard rumors on the black market, though they were not sure if they were true or false, that the two of them were locked up together. How did they escape?
"Did they both escape?" he asked hastily.
Coach Qi had a strange expression, his beard twitched, and he shook his head.
"No, the two of them killed the jailer and escaped."
"It is said that the two were inseparable during their escape, cooperating with each other like brothers, even taking the fall for each other several times. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they would live and die together!"
