Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 27 Strength
The ceremony of becoming an apprentice was very simple, even less elaborate than in later generations.

Fangyan only bowed three times and didn't even kneel down. Lu Donghua even brewed the tea he drank as a token of his apprenticeship.

However, this did not affect his acceptance of Fang Yan as his last disciple.

He was much happier than he had ever been to accept any other disciple before.

There is no other reason, because he knows how great the potential of Fangyan is. Whether it is Chinese medicine or martial arts, Lu Donghua believes that Fangyan has the potential to surpass himself in these two aspects.

He had originally thought about taking in a disciple, and now that Fang Yan had directly proposed it, how could he refuse?
It's like giving someone a pillow when they're sleepy, we hit it off right away.

Fang Yan also needed a master. With Lu Donghua's knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine and kung fu, everything made sense.

Both parties got what they wanted and liked each other.

After accepting Fang Yan, Lu Donghua took Fang Yan to his own home and gave him a set of gifts for entering the family.

A set of silver needles in a mahogany box.

Just by looking at the box, you can tell that the silver needles inside are definitely not ordinary stuff. When you open it, you will find that it is indeed different. The craftsmanship is definitely very meticulous.

From the types of needles inside, Fangyan immediately recognized them as the nine ancient needles, namely, the chisel needle, round needle, chisel needle, sharp needle, beryllium needle, round and sharp needle, fine needle, long needle and large needle.

In 1983, the new nine needles passed the appraisal of the Science and Technology Department of SX Province, marking the official recognition of the new nine needles. The new nine needles are the magnetic round plum needle, filiform needle, plum blossom needle, three-edged needle, beryllium needle, sharp hook needle, 鑉 needle, 鑱 needle, round sharp needle and fire needle. These are also what Fangyan learned later.

In his previous life, Fangyan used disposable silver needles the most. As for Lao Jiuzhen, he had only seen this good thing in the hands of professors in school.

Although Fangyan has been blessed by the system, he is still a little excited to get such a set of needles. Even if he doesn't use it, it's good to keep it at home!
"My father passed this down to me when I was young. He said it was passed down to him by his former master. It's something from the palace and has more commemorative significance. I haven't used it much, so I'm giving it to you in the hope that you can go further in acupuncture."

When Fang Yan heard that the silver needle in his hand had such a great origin, he quickly pushed it back:

"This is inappropriate. It's too valuable. How can you give something heirloomed from your family to an outsider like me?"

You know, Mr. Lu still has a little granddaughter, so it's not like he has no descendants. If anything, the inheritance should be passed down to their family.

Mr. Lu shook his head and pushed the things back, and said to Fang Yan:

"This isn't some kind of treasure that has to be passed down from generation to generation. I can pass it on to whoever I want. Now it belongs to you!"

Fangyan couldn't persuade him and accepted it reluctantly.

After seeing Fang Yan put away his things, Mr. Lu taught him the remaining two moves of Xingyiquan, the cannon punch and the horizontal punch. If it were someone else, Mr. Lu would definitely not teach them so quickly, but Fang Yan was different, as he had mastered the three moves of chop, collapse and drill too quickly.

At this time, Lu Donghua taught Fangyan, intending to take a look at Fangyan's amazing learning talent and physical coordination ability.

The result did not disappoint him. During the first teaching, Fangyan acted like a newbie who knew nothing. Then Lu Donghua demonstrated the boxing in front of him and explained the areas to pay attention to and the techniques of exerting force. Then Fangyan immediately seemed like a different person.

His entire movement changed immediately, and he adjusted it completely in the way he had just said. The cannon punches and horizontal punches he threw were just like those of a veteran who had practiced for decades, and there was no problem at all.

If he hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes, Lu Donghua would never have believed that such a genius existed in the world.

Even though it was the second time he saw it, Lu Donghua was still shocked.

Fang Yan had no choice. As soon as he started practicing, the system would instantly bless him. Even if he wanted to hide his weakness now, it was too late. The few punches he just threw out were completely the result of the test of time. Lu Donghua was a veteran with so many years of experience and could tell it at a glance.

"Good, good, good!" Lu Donghua cheered repeatedly after being stunned for several seconds.

Apart from being shocked, Lu Donghua was more happy. He was so old, and God had sent a genius to him. If he didn't make good use of it, it would be a waste. "Come on, try to hit me with the five moves you just learned." Lu Donghua waved at Fang Yan, signaling Fang Yan to punch him.

"Ah? Let me hit you?" Fang Yan didn't understand what Lu Donghua was going to do. Although he had just started practicing for a short time, he already had 10 years of experience with the help of the system, so the punches he threw were definitely real Xingyiquan force.

If this happened to the old man, he would definitely not feel good.

Lu Donghua also practiced Xingyiquan, not the Golden Bell Cover and Iron Cloth Shirt.

"It's okay, just hit me!"

"I'm not crazy, and I don't want to die early. Of course I won't let you beat me to death." Lu Donghua said to Fang Yan with a confident look.

Seeing him say this, Fang Yan thought about it and finally nodded.

After saying this, he patted his chest:

"Come on, don't be polite, just hit me hard."

Fang Yan glanced at Mr. Lu. He didn't say anything, just nodded, then raised his hand and punched Mr. Lu in the chest.

"boom!"

After Fangyan finished typing, he looked at Mr. Lu.

Mr. Lu frowned slightly, shook his head and said to Fang Yan:

"You didn't hit it hard. I told you to hit it hard. Don't worry about the rest."

Fang Yan had only used 30% of his strength just now, and the force-generating technique was still the chopping punch from Xingyiquan. If an ordinary person was hit by such a punch, he would at least feel pain, but Mr. Lu looked as if he didn't feel anything at all.

"That's about it." Fang Yan really didn't want to use all his strength. If he did, the old man weighing over a hundred pounds would be sent flying.
Seeing that Fangyan didn't dare to fight, Mr. Lu said:
"Lift the splitting fist high out of the cloud gate, rise and drill, fall and flip, and the qi will stretch freely. Shaoshang will guide the qi in your mind, and it will open the meridians and lungs with divine effect. The splitting fist belongs to gold. With each step, you will open the Tanzhong acupoint and exert force throughout your body. After you punch out, your complexion should be rosy. I can tell at a glance whether you have used all your strength. Hurry up and use all your strength, don't hold back!"

Hearing the old man say this, Fang Yan knew that he was determined to use all his strength to deliver this punch.

Fang Yan had no choice but to nod, then took a deep breath and used 80% of his strength, with the force rising from the ground and going straight up to his waist, shoulders, elbows, and hands. His energy and blood surged out, and a force hit Lu Donghua directly in the chest.

This time, a hint of blood appeared on his face, which is what Mr. Lu called rosy white.

"Bang!" There was also a muffled sound, and Fang Yan and Lu Donghua each retreated three steps.

Fangyan felt as if his fist had hit an uninflated tire, and half of the force was immediately removed. The remaining half of the force was blocked outside by the thick surface and did not penetrate the skin.

"Master, are you okay?" Fang Yan asked.

Lu Donghua's face turned red for a moment. Although he was prepared, he still underestimated Fang Yan's punching power. The previous punch almost injured him. You have to know that this kid has just practiced for less than an hour. With such power, he is simply a freak!

He waved his hand and said:

"Hahaha, it's okay, it's okay. Your strength can't hurt me."

"Although there is no problem with your movements and the way you exert force, you still need to work on your basic skills."

Fang Yan nodded, thinking to himself that his master was indeed very powerful. He should have used all his strength earlier.
