Chapter 58: Chopping Jin of the tiger stance (2/2)

So for him to be recommended by Cao Yi to be their opponent, none of the soldiers could accept this.

Swish! The crowd pulled away in order to form a giant ring as Hammer walked forward to stand three meters away from Wang Chao.

This Hammer was the one Wang Chao saw hitting the steel plate. Each one of his fists were rather strong and fast, showing that he had relentlessly practiced how to fight.

“Hey kid, make your move! Show me how well you can dance with your ‘Wushu’! Will you be showing us a great rhythm and an elegant posture?” Hammer ridiculed. Wrapping both arms against his chest, his entire body began to exude with self confidence.

But Wang Chao didn’t underestimate Hammer. After that one year journey, he had already washed away the impatience and emotional influxes. He wouldn’t see anyone as an enemy straight away, and neither would he be easily taunted by anyone’s words.

Nodding, Wang Chao spoke, “Then I’ll make my move, be careful. When I move, be careful for your life.”

As soon as he spoke, Wang Chao’s backmost leg kicked off while his frontmost leg slid across the ground as if imitating the shape of the crescent moon. His body shot forward with the speed of an arrow shout out from a bow.

In an instant he had rushed two meters closer, leaving only a single step to Hammer.

Shooting forward with his fists aimed at Hammer’s median line, Wang Chao’s fists struck out with Jin. As soon as his right hand extended, it had connected with Hammer’s chest.

When Wang Chao’s arm had traveled through the air, a “crack!” could be heard as if a whip was snapped.

As soon as a single blow was made, the entire audience was stunned.

Wang Chao’s fist had been extraordinarily nimble and strong. With the cracking sound, no one would be able to maintain a strong bravado!

Hammer would have never imagined that such a fragile looking person like Wang Chao would have been able to cause such a blow capable of knocking down a mountain!

Hearing the crack, Hammer could foretell with his fighting experience that this fist would be better to avoid instead of defending against. With a startled jump, his feet dragged him backwards.

It went without saying that Hammer was a specially trained soldier that had a faster reaction time than a regular person. With a quick step backwards, he had been able to move a meter out of the way and completely dodging Wang Chao’s fist.

At the same time, he had took the time to bring up his leg.

The leg had been strong and carried a deadly wind as it aimed for Wang Chao’s chest.

Pa! Wang Chao’s fist opened up and smashed his entire arm against Hammer’s leg as if it was a plank of wood.

Relax the muscles and attack with the pores to break out naturally. If the enemy doesn’t move, then one shouldn’t move either. When the enemy moves, then one should move before him.

When listening to one’s potential movements, it was easy to predict the next strike.

Just as Hammer was moving back, Wang Chao had already “listened” to his muscle’s reaction and knew just what he would do, so he had brought up his arm as an appropriate reaction.

It was like a cage ready for someone to charge into.

As soon as the strike hit his bones, Hammer felt his leg go numb and start to shake. However, because of his quality training, he immediately brought his leg back and retreated.

But Wang Chao didn’t give up and persisted after him!

Spreading both legs, Wang Chao’s posture made him seem larger as his arms moved in a circle as if he was grabbing onto a giant halberd to cleave down onto Hammer.

This was the Chopping Fist Jin of the tiger stance.

Within Xingyi, the tiger stance and the Chopping Fist were almost the one and same. The Chopping Fist Jin required both hands to be wide apart and to expand the lungs in a large and long breath as if ready to cleave a mountain with an axe.

The tiger stance was the same. It required a large imposing stance similar to a tiger prowling down the mountain. With a large shout, the entire mountain would shake and the winds would scatter the clouds.

Now that Wang Chao had learned the Hidden Jin, his body was vigorous and filled with power. With each hit, there would be very few that could defend against his power or escape his Taichi.

Hammer didn’t know what Wang Chao had done, but the way he had suddenly grown larger had made him resemble some sort of axe deity materialized into real life. His heart couldn’t help but feel intimidated as his fighting spirit began to feel defeated.

In a hurry, Hammer threw up both his hands in an attempt to protect his head against Wang Chao’s chop. After that, he would prepare a counter attack.

But what he hadn’t known was that Wang Chao’s Chopping Fist Jin of the tiger stance was far too strong for him to block. Even without the Hidden Jin, the fist would bear down upon Hammer like an extremely heavy weight.

With that chopping motion, Hammer immediately felt an acute sense of pain in his arm at the same time of a cracking sound.

His robust arm had been unexpectedly broken by Wang Chao.
