Chapter 7: Earth-shattering changes in half a month
Chapter 7: Earth-shattering changes in half a month
Silent all night.
The next day, Qin Wu set off early for Liu's Martial Arts School.
From the servants of the Qin family to the guards of the Dragon Tiger Gang, not a single person intervened.
However, after Qin Wu left, he could occasionally feel a faint gaze watching him from behind.
Presumably, it was someone from the Dragon Tiger Gang who had arranged to keep watch, but Qin Wu didn't care.
As soon as I entered Liu's Martial Arts School, many disciples turned to look at me.
"Is this the prodigy who absorbed seven and a half doses of the Eight Treasures Soup in his first medicinal bath?"
"Aside from being handsome, he's not that remarkable."
"This kid has offended the senior brother, who is known for his vindictiveness. He's in big trouble."
The crowd whispered among themselves, some curious, some envious, and some hostile.
Amidst the attention of the crowd, Liu Chengchuan, the owner of the martial arts school, walked over.
"Senior Liu."
Qin Wu greeted him.
Liu Chengchuan nodded, then glanced at the people around him.
"What's wrong? Have you finished your schoolwork? Do you want me to give you anything else to do?"
In short, everyone scattered like birds and beasts.
The daily schoolwork is already tiring enough.
Add more?
That's absolutely terrible.
After everyone left, Liu Chengchuan led him to the backyard.
The Tiger-Taming Fist is his core technique, so naturally it cannot be taught in the front yard.
"The Tiger Subduing Fist is based on the tiger, so to learn the Tiger Subduing Fist, you must first learn the fierce tiger's intent."
Liu Chengchuan spoke to Qin Wu, his eyes filled with a hint of arrogance.
Does having good punches make you strong?
wrong!
No matter how good your punches are, if you're not good at it, it's useless. You'll just end up with poor skills and won't be able to fight.
The two characters "伏虎" (Subduing Tiger) are the biggest challenge in the Subduing Tiger Fist.
Of his core disciples, only Luo Hao could truly grasp some of the essence of the Tiger-Taming Fist.
But compared to him, it is still far inferior.
The intent of a fierce tiger?
A slight smile appeared on Qin Wu's lips.
"is that so……"
As he spoke, the tiger's spirit suddenly activated, and a domineering aura suddenly spread out.
Liu Chengchuan's eyes widened in disbelief, and it took him several breaths to react.
"How... cough, I didn't expect you to have actually obtained some of the essence of Tiger Intent. Do you dare to come and learn the Tiger Subduing Fist? Your talent is quite good. Even compared to me, you are not far behind."
Qin Wu chuckled.
If Liu Chengchuan hadn't lost his composure just now, his words would have been somewhat believable.
As for now...
Since Liu Chengchuan was teaching him the Tiger-Taming Fist, he had to give him that face.
Liu Chengchuan said in a deep voice:
"It seems you've already passed the test of the Fierce Tiger's Will. Even my good-for-nothing eldest disciple, Luo Hao, is no match for you."
Next comes the real Tiger-Taming Fist.
As he spoke, Liu Chengchuan suddenly leaped up, his lumbar spine turning into a tailbone, his shoulder blades making a slight cracking sound, and then he lunged forward.
Their actions were swift and decisive, displaying extraordinary momentum.
"This is the 'Hungry Tiger Pounces on its Prey' move from the Tiger Subduing Fist. This move is similar to the 'Tiger Pounces Three Shakes' move you used before. It uses the tiger's intent to control the Tiger Subduing Fist, making the man resemble the tiger and the tiger resemble the man. This is the essence of it."
Liu Chengchuan kept moving, demonstrating the entire set of moves of the Tiger Subduing Fist to Qin Wu, one move after another.
Qin Wu stared intently at Liu Chengchuan's every move and every detail.
This is the Tiger-Taming Fist!
He was shocked. Compared to Liu Chengchuan, Hou Xin's Tiger Pounce Triple Shock yesterday was as ridiculous as children playing house.
Even now, Qin Wu believes he has no chance of winning against Liu Chengchuan.
These are the martial arts masters of the Inner Three Gates!
The difference between them is not only the difference in the level of the three external gates and the three internal gates, but also the gap in their understanding of the essence of boxing.
After the drill, Liu Chengchuan took a deep breath, stopped what he was doing, and looked at Qin Wu.
Everything Qin Wu had shown had already made him appreciate talent.
Although his teaching of Qin Wu the Tiger-Taming Fist was a transaction, who says a transaction can't develop into a master-disciple relationship?
Today he will demonstrate the essence of the Tiger Subduing Fist.
The point was to let Qin Wu know how powerful he was, and to make the kid understand that becoming an apprentice was the best option.
"The Tiger-Taming Fist has been completed. Did you understand it?"
Liu Chengchuan spoke.
In his mind, Qin Wu must be completely ignorant.
The Tiger-Taming Fist isn't that easy to learn.
Qin Wu did not answer, but closed his eyes and recalled Liu Chengchuan's actions. Every detail was vividly displayed in his mind.
A moment later, he opened his eyes and said:
"I understand roughly."
"Um?"
Liu Chengchuan frowned.
"Kid, since I promised to teach you the Tiger-Taming Fist, I won't go back on my word. There's no need to pretend you know what you don't..."
Before he could finish speaking, Qin Wu had already taken a stance and started punching the boxing routine.
At first, Liu Chengchuan was disdainful of Qin Wu's actions, but soon his disdain turned into horror.
"Is that really the Tiger-Taming Fist? Although the movements are somewhat obscure, this kid actually learned it!"
"Good lad, your talent is even greater than I imagined. However, the Tiger Subduing Fist emphasizes momentum, while your fist has moves but no form..."
Liu Chengchuan suppressed his shock and began to give instructions.
Qin Wu practiced his boxing again and again, making rapid progress at an alarming pace.
As dusk approached, Qin Wu had fully mastered the Tiger-Taming Fist, no longer just a fancy but ineffective technique.
Even Hou Xin, who fought Qin Wu before, had only just begun to master the Tiger-Taming Fist.
Over the next few days, Qin Wu went out early and returned late, absorbing Liu Chengchuan's understanding of the Tiger Subduing Fist like a sponge.
Liu Chengchuan's gaze towards him became increasingly complex.
He clearly saw that this child was destined for greatness.
pity……
Qin Wu was not his disciple.
Although Qin Wu ignored external things, he still managed to exchange a few glances with Luo Hao.
He didn't want to cause trouble, but he also had no reason to let others bully him.
So even though the two sides didn't actually fight, every time they met, the atmosphere was tense and on the verge of conflict.
In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed.
During this period, Qin Wu no longer went to the martial arts school every day, but only went every few days to ask for advice and learn what he didn't understand.
His Tiger-Taming Fist became increasingly refined.
Moreover, with the aid of the medicinal bath, the tiger's soul was further integrated, and its own power was greatly enhanced.
However, since we haven't taken any action yet, we can't make a specific estimate.
However, he could sense that the tiger soul would soon be completely integrated.
"The three external gates—tendons, bones, and skin—are something that ordinary people need to train one by one, but I have the Tiger Soul and can train all three at the same time. In my current state, I am not far from mastering them."
I've almost mastered the Tiger-Taming Fist; all that's left is to hone it over time. Perhaps I should consider learning my next martial art.
Qin Wu withdrew his stance and focused his mind, calculating in his heart.
His progress in the Tiger Subduing Fist was faster than he had imagined. Half a month ago, he had only achieved minor mastery of the Tiger Subduing Fist, but now, he was about to achieve major mastery.
"Qin Wu, the Eight Treasures Soup you requested is ready."
Liu Xinnian walked over, her eyes filled with curiosity.
"Why do you need so much Eight Treasures Soup? Are you going on a long trip?"
"no."
Qin Wu shook his head.
"Now that I've almost mastered the Tiger-Taming Fist, there's no need for me to come to the martial arts school every day anymore. I might as well prepare some Eight Treasures Soup in advance."
Upon hearing this, Liu Xinnian couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"It's only been half a month. Even if you have exceptional talent, it's already good enough that you've just entered the basics. You're still a long way from mastering it."
Qin Wu smiled but offered no explanation.
While he practiced martial arts, he didn't deliberately avoid people, but he also never fully displayed his skills in front of others.
Liu Xinnian was also just a beginner.
Naturally, one cannot discern his level of attainment.
Just then, Luo Hao overheard their conversation and walked over, saying sarcastically:
"Arrogant and conceited! Even I spent a month just learning the basics of the Tiger-Taming Fist. How dare you claim you've mastered it?"
He harbored hostility towards Qin Wu, and it was an open and undisguised hostility.
As the head disciple of the martial arts school, he should have been the person the school master valued most.
During this period, the owner practically left them to their own devices. Even he could only seek the owner's guidance when he encountered problems.
The owner of the museum focused all his energy on Qin Wu.
Even his beloved junior sister, every time she saw Qin Wu, her smile was clearly visible in her eyes.
Why should I?!
He was unconvinced.
Qin Wu glanced at him and frowned.
During this period, the other party has been making a lot of sarcastic remarks.
How well I study is none of your business.
Qin Wu immediately spoke.
"As the head disciple of the martial arts school, I naturally have the right to inquire about the progress of each of my fellow disciples!"
Luo Hao stared at Qin Wu, his eyes filled with ill intent.
"Since you say you've already mastered it, how about we have a sparring session?"
Qin Wu gave Luo Hao a deep look and said:
"Although I learned boxing from Master Liu, I did not formally become his disciple."
Then he changed the subject and said:
"However, sparring is fine, but fists and feet have no eyes, have you thought this through?"
Since Luo Hao brought it up himself, Qin Wu naturally didn't mind obliging him.
The last time Hou Xin made a move, it was at Luo Hao's behest.
Given Qin Wu's personality, he naturally wouldn't forget this matter.
It was only because I was still learning martial arts at Liu's Martial Arts School that I temporarily put it aside.
Now is a good opportunity to resolve this.
