Zhu Tian: Starting from the Stand User

Chapter 56 Guo Haihuang

While Lu Chen was learning the basics of martial arts from the members of the Shenxin Society, Yudi Kemi had already decided to challenge the primitive man Pico. After meeting Pico that night, he had been thinking about how to deal with Pico.

Retsu Kaiou offered to teach him some martial arts techniques, but Katsumi refused. He wanted to take a step forward for karate.

So during this period of time, he and Lie Haiwang have been researching technology that can break through the primitive people's defenses.

Lu Chen knew their achievement was the supersonic punch, but he had no way to give them any hints. They would figure it out on their own.

At this time, an old master came to the Shenxin Society. Although he looked very old, every step he took was very precise.

He glanced at the apprentices practicing martial arts and walked straight to Lu Chen. He stood in front of Lu Chen and watched his moves.

Lu Chen was excited when he saw the person coming. This person was Guo Haihuang, the pinnacle of martial arts.

So Lu Chen stopped what he was doing and stepped forward to salute.

At this time, Guo Haihuang spoke up: "Lie told me that he accepted a very talented disciple. That person is you, right? You can see that his moves are quite good."

Lu Chen answered modestly: "Master Lie was just being polite and saying something nice about me. I'm actually far from that."

"No, Lie never lies. If he says you are talented, then you must be."

Guo Haihuang suddenly punched Lu Chen in the face, and this punch seemed to contain endless danger.

Lu Chen was suddenly startled and his substitute appeared, which immediately gave Lu Chen's whole body a strong effect.

The fist stopped in front of Lu Chen. If this punch hit Lu Chen, he would definitely fly away.

"Oh, all the muscles in the body tensed up instantly? Is this your special ability?"

After Guo Haihuang finished speaking, he unclenched his fist and tapped Lu Chen's hardened skin with his fingers, making a thumping sound.

"Even the skin has become hard? What an amazing technique. How did you do it?"

Lu Chen had no way of explaining the stand's abilities to Guo Haihuang, so he could only forcefully explain, "I can make my muscles and skin as hard as steel. I don't know how it works. Maybe it's a superpower."

Guo Haihuang sighed, "The human body is truly amazing. There's an American whose muscles are just as strong as yours. Monsters like you are completely unafraid of bullets and sharp weapons; it's like your bodies are cheating. And some even have muscles as strong as steel, and they can move at will. It's true that people like you are the biggest obstacle to the inheritance of martial arts. You can achieve things through sheer talent that would take the average person years of practice. But it's also people like you who can propel martial arts forward."

After sighing, he continued, "You can't move when you activate your [Super Power], right?"

"Guo Haihuang, you're right. I really can't move. My muscles must be soft to move."

Guo Haihuang did not continue the question but asked: "I heard Lie say that you want to learn to eliminate power?"

Lu Chen wondered how Lie Haiwang had told Guo Haihuang everything, so he nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, I want to learn to eliminate power. But I'm still a long way from it."

"If you want to learn how to dissipate force, you must control your instinct to become stronger. Don't be afraid of being hit by your enemy. Don't just resist the damage. You must guide the force out of you."

After saying this, Guo Haihuang looked at Lu Chen again, seeing that he now had the appearance of a martial artist. Lu Chen nodded repeatedly, Guo Haihuang personally instructed him to grasp the key points of dissipating force.

"Lie has to shoulder 4000 years of martial arts history, so he doesn't have time to continue teaching you. I will teach you from now on. I won't take care of you like Lie did. If you want to give up, then leave now."

Lu Chen was very excited after hearing this. Guo Haihuang was actually going to teach him personally.

"I will definitely work hard."

"What did you use to cure Lie?" Guo Haihuang was very sad when he first heard that Lie had lost a leg. He was so sad that the inheritance of martial arts had encountered such an accident. But a few days later, he received good news that Lie's leg had been cured.

"It's an extinct fruit. Master, please wait a moment, I'll bring it to you right away." Lu Chen still understood the gift of becoming a disciple.

Guo Haihuang shook his hand and said, "Don't worry. Lie also said that you have a magical skill in throwing iron balls. Show it to me. Throw it at me now."

So Lu Chen walked to the place where clothes were placed and took out the iron ball placed there. He first looked around and found a golden rectangle as a reference.

Then the iron ball flew out of his hand and hit Guo Haihuang like a streak of light.

When Guo Haihuang was hit, he immediately began to spin in the direction of the iron ball.

After turning a few times, Guo Haihuang stood still with the iron ball in his hand, and his clothes were torn where he was hit. This blow still caused some damage to Guo Haihuang.

Guo Haihuang looked at his new disciple with satisfaction. "It's a powerful technique. Even my power-dissipating abilities can't completely eliminate the power contained within. I'm very pleased with you. So, be prepared for some great pain. I won't waste your talent."

Lu Chen said to Guo Haihuang solemnly: "Please rest assured, I will definitely work hard."

"Then follow me and tell Lie that he doesn't need to worry about your martial arts progress anymore." After saying that, Guo Haihuang threw the iron ball in his hand to Lu Chen.

Guo Haihuang looked at Lu Chen and was certain that he and Lie would become the inheritors of Chinese martial arts. Strength could not be passed on, but skills would be passed down through inheritance, just like the past thousands of years.

After Lu Chen took it, he found that the iron ball was still spinning. This spin was thrown by Guo Haihuang, although it did not contain the power of the golden spin.

But Guo Haihuang had only taken one look and already begun to understand the surface of the Golden Spin. If someone were to teach him the essence of the Golden Spin, he would probably be able to master it in no time. Is this the strength of someone who has immersed himself in martial arts his entire life?
Lu Chen followed behind Guo Haihuang in admiration. Although Guo Haihuang did not defeat Hanma Yongjiro, Lu Chen also admired him immensely. This was the power of human beings forcing the [monster] to use its full strength.

"Why do you want to learn martial arts?"

"Because I want to be strong."

"Powerful? That's a good reason. I thought so too when I was young."

“We young people are always pursuing these.”

"No, Lie is pursuing inheritance. He is a rare genius, so I can't let you influence him by his side. His time is precious. And I am already old."
