Chapter 46: Battle against Chen Xiu (Please read)

Song Wuji didn't say much, just said: "I broke through by luck, thanks to the Five Rats!"

Song Wuji had already thought about it: "Maybe I am a genius? I have cultivated the Five Rats Transporting Technique to the fifth level overnight."

"Impossible!" Chen Xiu exclaimed. "Even I have only cultivated to the third level. This is because I have a strong digestive ability and can eat ten kilograms of Blood Valley rice in one breath!"

Song Wuji chuckled and said, "I told you, maybe I'm a genius!"

After hearing this, Chen Xiu was speechless and thought to himself: It seems that the Kitchen God's inheritance is not only related to cooking, but also to eating. Otherwise, if he breaks through the fifth level overnight, the essence in his body will be drained and he will become a dried corpse.

Then he was shocked: "Oh no! Let him look after the canteen, isn't it just rats that got into the barn? Our food!"
But then he thought again: If piling up food can produce a ninth-grade master, it would definitely be a great deal.

His expression immediately turned to envy. If one can gain strength by eating and drinking, then what are the hardships we have endured over the years, training in the coldest days of winter and the hottest days of summer?
Seeing Chen Xiu's changing expression, Song Wuji thought he was going to become a villain.

Then Chen Xiu took up his stance. "Lü Han is a weak scholar, he can't fight me. Those people from the Punishment Department are all half-hearted. My soldiers can't last more than three rounds in my hands. Every time I fight, they're not effective enough!"

"Just now I saw your stance, you walk like a dragon and a tiger, this is the manifestation of the mastery of external skills. Walking, sitting and lying are all postures. I believe you mastered the Five Rats Moving Technique overnight, but it is impossible for you to practice the ultimate external skills! Let me test your level!"

Song Wuji said, "That's exactly what I wanted to say. I learned a set of cat fists by observing the movements of the Cat Catcher!"

In ancient times, people called a deer a horse, and now people call a tiger a cat.

Anyway, cats are the teachers of tigers, and cat boxing and tiger boxing are always similar. Moreover, Cat Captain really taught cat boxing to Song Wuji.

"You said you learned a set of boxing techniques just by watching a cat!" Chen Xiu really felt like he was being fooled: "Do I look like a cat to you? Hey! Try my fists and see if they're any good!"

In addition to the archery skills passed down by Fei Hou and the mountain-splitting knife skills used by Wu Chen to pretend to be dirty, Chen Xiu's family tradition is also not bad.

It seemed ordinary before the demonic chaos, but after the demonic chaos, and with his promotion to the ninth rank, when he used it, it was no worse than the martial arts in the secret realm.

Chen Xiu took the lead. He took a deep breath, relaxed his body, and then moved his feet lightly, his figure floating like a ghost. He used the "Silk-Channeling Power" move, and his palms were like two swimming dragons, one on the left and one on the right, attacking Song Wuji.

This is a set of Tongbeiquan. The arms exert force like cracking a whip, which makes a sound when it is swung out. The same is true for Tongbiquan. Every time it is fired, there will be a sound of breaking through the air.

Song Wuji did not dare to be negligent. The punch looked feminine, but it was like a whip or a hammer. It gathered all the strength in his body and hit the body, which might break bones.

He immediately assumed a tiger stance, eyes wide open, qi sinking into his dantian, muscles tensed, and pounced at Chen Xiu like a tiger descending from a mountain. He used a "hungry tiger pouncing on its prey" move, his fists like tiger claws, whistling as they grabbed Chen Xiu's throat.

This is a classic: You fight yours, I fight mine, and when you attack the enemy, you must rescue them!

Seeing Song Wuji's aggressive momentum, Chen Xiu didn't dare to take the attack head-on. His body floated backwards like catkins in the wind.

At the same time, his hands swiftly shifted, unleashing a "piercing palm" attack, striking Song Wuji across the waist. Song Wuji, feeling the suppleness and uncanny nature of the Tongbei Fist's palm technique, felt its impact like a ghost's claws, startling him. He quickly retracted his fist and leaped backward, dodging Chen Xiu's palm attack with a tiger-leaping-a-ravine move.

The two men fought again, but Song Wuji soon showed his weakness and demonstrated his lack of actual combat skills.

Chen Xiu's body was graceful, and his boxing style was continuous and uninterrupted, like flowing clouds and water. He kept changing his moves, sometimes "Dragon Exploring the Sea", sometimes "Back-Wide Covering Palm", sometimes "Piercing Palm", sometimes "Twisting Silk Grabbing Hand", sometimes "Breaking Mountain Power", moving, blocking, hammering, and cannoning, his fighting became more and more smooth, and his rhythm became more and more clean and neat.

Although Song Wuji had experience in fighting a tiger demon in an illusion, it was just an illusion. The tiger demon in the illusion was like an NPC, and only knew one set of moves. It was nothing like Chen Xiu who could counter the moves and use them at will.

What makes Song Wuji stronger than Chen Xiu is that he has almost endless physical strength. The Kitchen God's mental method automatically operates to restore his physical strength, but this cannot change his fate of being beaten.

"You punch too slowly!"

"The force is too stupid!"

"It's just form, but no meaning! Xingyi Tiger Fist is Xingyi Tiger Fist. Why are you calling it a cat fist? Do you think I'm ignorant?"

"You're so unfamiliar with your skills. It seems you've really fallen out of practice. Tiger Form Fist is called a fist, but it's more about claws. Your finger strength isn't focused enough!"

Song Wuji felt a little ashamed after hearing what he said and asked, "Is it really that bad?"

"Good foundation! The moves are still far from perfect!" Chen Xiu stopped and put his hands behind his back, hiding his slightly trembling hands: This kid doesn't know how to control his strength. This tiger-shaped fist is extremely fierce. Compared with the tiger-shaped fists I knew before, it focuses more on fighting. Almost every move is aimed at locking the throat, hitting the top of the head with claws, and digging out the heart... If he only knew one set from beginning to end, it would be too mechanical, and he would look like a tiger that has just learned hunting skills and is covered with human skin.

Song Wuji took this to heart: "Captain Chen, how about we take time out every day to practice? Besides, this Tiger Form Fist is indeed a gift I got by chance, and it has the effect of strengthening the bones and muscles. I can write down the secret manual. Can you let me learn the Mountain-Splitting Blade Technique?"

Song Wuji said, "As a cook, it's only reasonable for me to hold a kitchen knife. Boxing has never been my strong point."

"The Kaishan Sword Technique was originally in the Feihou Temple, but I can teach you directly. However, your kitchen knife is too short after all. The Kaishan Sword Technique uses a mountain knife. A knife long or short is still a knife, and it is better than having no weapon at all."

After that, Song Wuji passed the Tiger Form Fist to Chen Xiu. Chen Xiu was worthy of being a martial arts scholar. In just half an hour, he had almost mastered the Tiger Form Fist stance. It might be that he was proficient in one punch and all punches, but his Tiger Form Fist still had some flavor of Tongbei Fist. It was his own style of boxing.

It would be even faster for Song Wuji to learn the Kaishan knife technique. After all, after passing the Tianchuyuan ceremony, Song Wuji already had basic knife skills. The knife technique for cutting vegetables and the knife technique for chopping people are actually not much different.

Therefore, Chen Xiu felt that the knife technique he learned from Song Wuji's demonstration was not the original knife technique, and should be renamed "bone-chopping knife", as if it was a butcher who used a bone-chopping knife to chop off two pounds of fan bones for a customer so that he could make soup at home.

"You have been promoted to the ninth rank. I will explain this to the county magistrate. This shows that the Blessing of All Industries is not insignificant. As long as the method is appropriate, completing the ritual will net you a ninth rank and can also form a fighting force!"

Song Wuji thought to himself: That's unlikely, unless they also possess divine power like me.
