This place is fun

Chapter 148 Great Success!

On this winter morning, the sky was a bit too good, having swept away the gloom of the past. From the beginning of the morning, it was clear and blue, and the sun shone down without any obstruction, immersing the whole world in bright gold.

When Yue Zhen hid her face behind Su Yu, her heart full of annoyance, some whispering sounds also spread among the crowd.

Yishan City is just an inconspicuous remote town among the more than ten cities in Xiazhou. People living in other counties in Xiazhou rarely even mention this name in daily life. Whether it is the sects, noble families or local products and customs here, they seem to be far away from everyone and there is nothing good to say.

At most, people would only take a casual glance at the caravans of Yishan City's aristocratic families driving shabby horse-drawn carriages, wearing drab gray-black homespun clothes, leggings to protect against wind and sand, and covered in dust, entering Chongguang City to buy grain in late autumn every year, and sigh that it was time to store grain for the winter in the barren and cold north.

Therefore, many sects and families from other counties did not know the information about Yishan City. Naturally, not many people knew who the young man who fought against Yunjing Sect was.

If the wormhole of the You Clan had not been opened here this time, most people might never come here once in their entire lives.

But this is Yishan City after all, and there are many local warriors in the crowd who are watching the fun. Especially some time ago, Yishan City hosted this year's Beijun County Examination, and many local sect disciples and children from the noble families from Huoniu and Xisai knew the changes that happened in Yishan City before and during the county examination.

Therefore, some faint voices gradually rang out among the crowd. For example, "the son of the Su family", "the direct disciple of Han Gu"... Then, these voices were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, shattering the tranquility. And the ripples they stirred spread further and further.

"What do you mean, he is a disciple of Hangu?! Why are the people from Hangu still..."

"Could it be that the junior brother that Xue Yu and the others are talking about is him?"

"Hey, haven't you guys reacted yet? If it's not him, could it be Bao Shouyi... Tsk tsk, now I finally understand. I was wondering just now, if that senior really favors Yunjingmen, shouldn't he have directly captured the kid named Su Daoshan? Why did he have to send Bao Shouyi over? It's a waste of time. Now it seems, hehe..."

"Hey, what's that? Tell me, why did he do that?"

"Idiot, didn't you hear what Xue Yu and the others said? It's obvious that they are throwing the people from Yunjing Sect to their junior brother to be used as a whetstone for him to practice his skills!"

"Ah?! Just now Zheng Qiuyan took the initiative to move forward..."

"Pfft...hahaha!"

The crowd burst into uproar and laughter. The voices from all directions were like wisps of devilish sounds, entering the ears of Zheng Qiuyan and the disciples of Yunjing Sect. And the mocking eyes that gathered around them, as if they had seen a huge joke, made their faces turn pale.

Obviously, everything before was a misunderstanding. And the truth was revealed in such a simple and cruel way.

Everyone felt like they were slapped hard in the face!

******
Woodcutter Meng looked at Su Daoshan with a look of admiration in his eyes, but at the same time he felt depressed.

"Big Brother is indeed cunning and sly. I don't know what kind of news he got, but he took the initiative to recruit such a young man and made him his personal disciple... No, just based on this skill of Eighteen Crazy Hammers, he should be my disciple. Who in the whole Han Valley can beat me in this martial art!"

While Meng Qiaofu was thinking about how to challenge the head of the sect, he observed the situation and prepared to separate Su Daoshan and Bao Shouyi.

Although Su Daoshan's martial arts has reached the minor success level and he has fully comprehended the meaning of the fist, in his opinion, Su Daoshan's combat power basically stops here. After all, the opponent's martial arts level is two levels higher than his, and neither the internal qi nor the qi and blood can be eliminated by a set of martial arts.

Especially in terms of Qi, Su Daoshan was at a disadvantage. If he couldn't use Qi, his martial arts skills would be half useless. The opponent could force you into a panic with just a quick attack.

This is what Su Daoyu did before against Ma Wenrui. Now Bao Shouyi is doing the same thing against Su Daoshan.

Moreover, the gap between the upper seventh grade and the lower seventh grade is even greater.

"Unless Su Daoshan can cultivate the Eighteen Crazy Hammers to the state of perfection." But this thought only flashed through Meng Qiaofu's mind, and he immediately threw it away. He knew better than anyone that this was almost impossible.

You know, although a martial art is divided into seven stages, people usually judge it by only five levels: entry level, basic proficiency, mastery, minor accomplishment, and major accomplishment.

When a martial art reaches the Grand Mastery level, it is usually considered the pinnacle of the art. This is because at this level, both the comprehension of the martial art and the application of the skills have reached perfection. Otherwise, how can it be called the Grand Mastery level?

Of course, above the Great Accomplishment, there are two more levels: Extraordinary and Sainthood. But just from the names of these two levels, you can tell that they cannot be learned by "studying". To put it bluntly, when you reach the Great Accomplishment stage, it is like the students have mastered what the teacher has taught them to the highest level. And if you want to reach a higher level, you must break through the ceiling and surpass the teacher as well.

This is what is called extraordinary.

As for becoming a saint, that is an almost illusory realm. At that level, martial arts are no longer martial arts, but almost divine skills! As the saying goes, if you master one method, you will master all methods. That is to use martial arts to realize the truth, and you can establish a school!

Therefore, when warriors practice martial arts, they usually classify those below minor success into one range, and those above minor success into another range.

Although there are different thresholds for each step from entry level to minor success, it is achievable for most people. The only difference is the talent and time required.

Those with low talent need to practice for ten or eight years. Those with high talent need to practice for one or two years. Therefore, although Su Daoshan's improvement speed is incredibly fast, in Meng Qiaofu's opinion, it is not unacceptable. After all, he has only reached the minor success. Besides, among geniuses, there are more geniuses, right?

But to achieve great success is not that easy.

The so-called form is the function, the intention is the body, and the spirit is the bones! To achieve the pinnacle of perfection in a set of martial arts, one must not only comprehend the artistic conception, but also comprehend its essence!
Only by grasping the essence can one fully master martial arts and hone the skills to near perfection.

But just like painting, it is said that it is easier to paint the skin than the bones. If you cannot comprehend a certain point thoroughly, you will be blocked by this threshold for ten years. Meng Qiaofu himself spent a full three years to break through the Eighteen Crazy Hammers from the minor level to the major level.

Because of this, Meng Qiaofu felt that it was meaningless to let Yunjingmen serve as a whetstone. As long as he gave a little guidance, with Su Daoshan's comprehension, it would take less than three months for him to master this martial art!
Three months!

Just thinking about it, Woodcutter Meng felt a little jealous.

However, just as Woodcutter Meng was about to make a move, suddenly, the step he was about to take stopped abruptly.

"Huh?!!!"

******
The sun was getting hotter and hotter, the battle was getting more intense, and more and more people were gathering in the open space in front of the fort.

Originally, this conflict did not cause any congestion in and out of the Garrison Fort. But as time went on, more and more disciples from the sect arrived in Yishan City. More and more people heard the news and rushed from the Garrison Fort to watch the fun.

The dark crowd of onlookers grew bigger and bigger like a snowball, and finally spread out into a large round cake in the sun, blocking the passage in and out of the garrison. Some motorcades could bypass it before, but later, even bypassing it was no longer possible.

By this time, there were more and more seniors from the sect around.

Some time ago, after many sects arrived, the disciples greeted each other outside, chatted and socialized in groups of three or five, and waited for arrangements. The teachers and leaders of the sects were invited into the camp of the garrison fort to discuss matters.

Now, the elders who had just arrived from the sect could not enter, and those inside rushed out upon hearing the news. When the disciples who were watching the excitement saw the elders coming, they naturally hurried to make way. Some who were watching so intently that they did not react were even pulled away by their friends.

Looking down from the air, it seemed as if several small knives were cutting through the tofu with great force, heading straight to the center.

Han Luheng was one of these knives, and it was the one that made the most noise.

Because he had just come down from the ladder of the garrison wall, he met several people who were also rushing to the scene of the conflict, and they happened to gather together. There were not many people. Only three. However, one of them was Hua Chong, the leader of the front army demon hunters, one was Feng Baozhi, the deputy palace master of Hongzhao Palace, and the other was Li Pingbo of Jiuxiao Sect.

Hongzhao Palace and Jiuxiao Sect were both top sects in Xiazhou. With him, it could be said that they brought together the four most powerful people in the Liehuo Army and the sects!
When meeting Hua Chong and others, Han Luheng just nodded lightly to Feng Baozhi and Li Pingbo, but looked deeply at Hua Chong.

Then, Han Luheng saw a hint of expected meaning in Hua Chong's eyes. Han Luheng already knew the identities of the two parties involved in the conflict. One party was the Yunjing Clan of Dongjun. The other party was the Su family of Yishan City. As for this Su family and what happened in Kelun Castle two days ago, no one knew more about it than him.

He knew that Hua Chong had rushed there at the first opportunity. He also knew how the former demon hunter leader would treat the young man surnamed Su who not only saved Tang Moer but also helped her kill a ghost demon.

In fact, it's not just Hua Chong. If you ask privately, the generals in the front army, including the commander Wei Zhifei, who doesn't have this kid in mind?

It's just that many things are sunk under the water. There is no need to beat the gongs and drums, everyone knows it. Before, I just gave the Su family a little care. In the future, more things will be put down from a higher level. At that time, it is time for these people below to show goodwill. Otherwise, favors are not favors, but overstepping.

But what Han Luheng didn't expect was that in this world, there are always people who are so short-sighted.

First, someone was jealous of the Su family's business, and now someone is bullying the Su family's children. It is said that the one who is fighting at this moment is none other than the young man named Su Daoshan.

Han Luheng and Hua Chong's eyes met and they understood each other's thoughts. Seeing Han Luheng's murderous look, Hua Chong's mouth curled up slightly, and he slowed down his pace slightly, giving him the leading position.

When they saw Han Luheng, Li Pingbo and Feng Baozhi beside them couldn't help but move their eyes slightly.

Although the two of them followed Hua Chong, they didn't know what had happened. Just a few minutes ago, they were chatting with the demon hunter leader who must not be neglected, and heard Hua Chong's men report that there was a fight between the sect disciples outside.

Then the other party seemed to say a name in Hua Chong's ear. The next second, the two were surprised to see that Hua Chong's face darkened and he stood up suddenly.

Naturally, no matter in terms of human relationships or reason, as the top figures of the Xiazhou sect, they all had to accompany him. As they walked along the way, the two were still wondering in their hearts what could have alarmed Hua Chong.

The disciples of the sect fighting was just a commonplace thing. Any Tiger Lieutenant in the army would stop it, so why would Hua Chong personally go out to fight? But what the two did not expect was that it was not only Hua Chong who rushed over, but also Han Luheng!

Especially when they saw Han Luheng's murderous look, their hearts skipped a beat and they exchanged glances with each other.

As the five people walked quickly forward, wherever they passed, it was like a wave spreading from the interior of the Garrison. The disciples of the sects along the way were all shocked. No one expected that the fight outside would alarm the most important figures in the Garrison.

Some people didn't take it seriously at first and didn't want to join in the fun. But seeing this, they all followed Han Luheng and the others.

As a result, the ripples became bigger and bigger, and when Han Luheng and others passed through the gate of the garrison fort, the crowd separated like waves following the layers of commotion in front of them.

Two figures fighting each other appeared in the field of vision.

After just two glances, the four people's eyes froze at the same time and their pupils dilated slightly.

"what?!"

******
Su Daoshan was completely immersed in the battle, but felt a little annoyed!
It must be said that as a direct disciple of Yunjing Sect, Bao Shouyi is quite capable. Not only is he proficient in the Misty Palm, but he also uses another unique skill of Yunjing Sect, the Cloud Piercing Leg, which is even more varied and unpredictable.

What made Su Daoshan most depressed was that this guy was clearly bullying him because he was only at the lower level of the seventh rank and his Qi was far from being as round and smooth as he wished, so he kept attacking him closely and used fast to fight fast. If Su Daoshan's boxing had not reached a small level of success and had the blessing of artistic conception, which made his boxing power even better, he really would not have been able to withstand it.

They were always fully prepared, their every move was full of energy, but I was like fluffing cotton, with no room for the energy in my body to explode, how could I fight?
This feeling of stimulating qi and blood only to be blocked every time is really maddening.

As the saying goes, the first burst of energy is strong, the second is weak, and the third is exhausted... Repeatedly, without being able to vent, it is already annoying enough. What makes Su Daoshan most uncomfortable is that the martial arts of the Crazy Eighteen Hammers has a cumulative power.

When he fought Ma Wenrui before, he was trying to hold back, and then finally erupted like a volcano.

Now, at this point, he had already used all his strength, and his punches were more powerful than the last, like a tsunami, constantly pushing upwards. But even so, he could feel a violent force accumulating in his body.

This force is like a flood, waiting to break through the dam and sweep away everything with unstoppable force!
Crazy... Crazy...

Su Daoshan carefully experienced the meaning of the boxing.

After entering the mastery realm, he had already combined the artistic conception he had previously comprehended with the moves of the Crazy Eighteen Hammers. He could feel as if a mad demon god was sealed in his body. Every punch he threw and every kick he made was in constant response to this violent demon god.

Especially after entering the realm of minor success, this demon god seemed to have merged into one with himself.

It is precisely because of the existence of this demon god that he can rely on his boxing skills and pure techniques to fight Bao Shouyi on equal terms without being able to unleash his qi.

But, there is still a little bit left...

Su Daoshan could clearly feel that this demon god had not completely merged with himself.

Just a little bit!
"Eighteen Crazy Hammers..." Su Daoshan chewed on the name, and in his mind, the scene of being at home, immersed in the world of martial arts and comprehending martial arts seemed to emerge again.

"See the form, see the meaning, see the spirit!"

"The god I saw then was a mad god!"

"His madness is not just insanity, nor is it just violence. It is that there is no other, no self, and no living beings. Between heaven and earth, there is only a lonely soul. In a daze, he does not know whether he is dreaming or awake. What he does, says, and thinks, to others, is crazy talk, wild and violent. But to himself, it is..."

“…Of course!”

Su Daoshan's eyes suddenly lit up!
What Su Daoshan didn't know was that during the time he was experiencing the meaning of boxing, he looked like a trapped beast in the eyes of outsiders, and there seemed to be a real and monstrous flame burning in his body.

His punches became heavier and more frantic.

Every time he was interrupted and held back, his next punch would be faster, more fierce, and more powerful. His ferocity also grew stronger.

At this moment, everyone around suddenly felt a surge of blood and energy bursting out from Su Daoshan's body, so much so that even if they were more than ten meters away, they could feel the fierceness of a burning fire.

Everyone was watching quietly. Meng Qiaofu was watching, as were Han Luheng, Hua Chong, Li Pingbo, and Feng Baozhi. Everyone was concentrating and holding their breath.

boom!
In the swift fight, Bao Shouyi had already suppressed Su Daoshan into a small area. He hit and grabbed him with both hands, forcing Su Daoshan to punch and hit him again and again.

But this time, as Bao Shouyi used his move [Dark Clouds], he slapped Su Daoshan's chest with both palms in succession, but Su Daoshan did not dodge or block.

And when Bao Shouyi slapped Su Daoshan hard on the chest, everyone found that this young man, who was like a trapped beast, seemed to have broken free from the chains that had been binding him. His body was obviously shaken back, his blood was surging, and his face was full of pain. The next second, he stretched out his left hand, grabbed Bao Shouyi's right hand that was pressed on his chest, and swung his right hand towards Bao Shouyi's head!
Eighteen Crazy Hammers, the eighteenth style, the Free Demon!
A cloud of dust, at a speed visible to the naked eye, rose from the ground as Su Daoshan raised his right fist, and followed the momentum of the fist, creating a whirlwind in the air. The flying dust wrapped around the young man's thin body, as if it had merged into a demon god.

The sound of energy that had been suppressed suddenly erupted at this moment.

The shock wave of the explosion swept across the dust, and a hammer-like fist fell from the dust, making people feel as if what they saw was not a punch, but the eighteen styles of boxing that the young man had practiced over and over again for who knows how many times, all superimposed on each other.

The punch was as powerful as a mountain pressing down on one’s head!
Bao Shouyi's pupils dilated and he fought back with all his might.

Bang! There was a loud noise. A terrifying force came over, and Bao Shouyi's feet softened, and he fell to his knees!
Eighteen Crazy Hammers, Complete!
