Chapter 43 (1/2)

The next morning, after Lin Xun had his breakfast, he prepared well and was ready for the training. Seeing Shia Zhi standing three meters away, his heart was full of ambition.

He hardly slept last night. Having practiced his Qi and spiritual soul, he had been replaying the fighting skills of Shia Zhi in his mind silently.

It was a fight of physical strength, whose purpose was to refine bodies. However, after being defeated repeatedly yesterday, he realized that a strong body could also be a good weapon to kill the enemy if he grasped the techniques of releasing power.

Took Shia Zhi for example. Her fighting power was mighty enough to terrify people even without spiritual power.

“Let’s begin!”

Shia Zhi was calm. The soft morning light brought a dazzling air of purity and holiness to her beautiful face.

Hu…

Without hesitation, Lin Xun went forward swiftly like a galloping horse, exuding a heavy and strong vigor.

Taking a closer look, his muscles were pulsing like waving ripples. With all the strength concentrated, he was like a bow pulled tight, ready to shoot at any second.

It was the TRRE (tiger roar to repulse the enemy)!

As soon as this move was performed, the effect of it was entirely different from that of yesterday, which was simple, quick and straight. At the same time, the strength of arms flowed to his spine along his shoulders, mobilizing the power of rib muscles, while all muscles twitched like a taut wire.

Bang!

Even the air voiced a heavy popping sound out of the blow.

Shia Zhi was unperturbed. Flirting her palm, she kept Lin Xun’s wrist under her control. However, before she could exert power, she felt the muscles of his wrist shaking at an ultimate speed, which immediately turned slippery just like a mud fish.

In a moment, Lin Xun’s wrist escaped her hand that was firm like an iron band.

Lin Xun’s eyes brightened. As expected, if he managed to exert his power skillfully, it was easy to activate every joint and bone. He could control all the strength at his free will.

In the past, he knew only how to fight with spiritual power. After reflecting overnight, he finally realized that there was also strong power in all tendons, muscles and bones, which, if coordinated well, would bring about incredible effect.

If the body were compared to the battlefield, then all the muscles and joints were like soldiers in it. Commanded well, they could become the strongest troops.

However, before Lin Xun had the time to feel happy, Shia Zhi’s fingers were flexible like a hissing snake, her fingertip tapping slightly on Lin Xun’s wrist. Then Lin Xun felt a tingling on his wrist, losing all the sensation in it.

Bang! He was lifted by arms again and thrown hard to the ground like sifted chaff.

Lin Xun gritted his teeth and stood up, dashing crazily again.

Just now Shia Zhi’s fingertip flicked an acupoint at his wrist. His consistent use of muscular strength was then interrupted, contributing to the numbness of his wrist.

Lin Xun realized that without much thinking and was vigilant about it afterwards.

However, he was beaten down again after only two moves!

This time he was defeated by the unexpected Locking Wrists. Shia Zhi’s hands locked his wrist firmly like an iron ring. With her left hand pushing forward and right hand back, creating an opposing force of percussion, which straightly misplaced his wrist joints.

The whole action was simple and quick, making Lin Xun’s wrist  flap down with a sound of cracking. He didn’t feel pain until he was knocked to the ground.

It was the Manual to Break Tendons and Bones!

Bringing his wrist joints back to place, he looked at Shia Zhi,  without the slightest frustration in his eyes, but a high fighting spirit burning like a fire.

Although defeated again after only two moves, he was much better than yesterday. Lin Xun knew it clearly that he was progressing quickly!

“ Again!”

Lin Xun shouted in a low voice and exerted strength again. But this time he didn’t confine himself to the moving patterns of Marching Boxing.  His hands became much more flexible instead.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In the following time, there were incessant sounds in the courtyard, making people terrified.

Unknowingly, the door of the courtyard was open, and a group of children came in. They were all local kids. Observing their admirable Martial Master, Lin Xun, being defeated by Shia Zhi over and over again, they couldn’t help opening their mouths wide and  gasping in horror.

Only five-to-six years old, Shia Zhi was as young as most other kids, or even younger. I It was unbelievable to see that she defeated Lin Xun repeatedly at this moment.

Watching Lin Xun being thrown to the ground again and again, they felt very shocked and also lucky that they hadn’t provoked Shia Zhi previously. Otherwise the consequence would be unimaginable.

Before long, a group of elderly folks heard of this and came too, content to be lookers-on who feared there was not enough bustle to see.

In the meantime, they could feel the pain Lin Xun suffered. More importantly, they were shocked at the strong fighting capability Shia Zhi showed which made her even more extraordinary than Lin Xun. That was something they could never imagine.

Was she really a little girl who was only five-to-six years old?
