Chapter 374 Breaking Move
Hu Sanqian laughed at Chen Guan's remarks, thinking, "As expected, he's not very smart. It would be too embarrassing to recruit someone like him into my Tiger Sect."

Using his timid and foolish nature to deal with him, Hu Sanqian must have some kind of thought process to come up with such a trick.

Even if Chen Guan could learn the "Tiger Head and Tiger Brain" move in a short time, he would only have learned the basics. How could that compare to the "Tiger Head and Tiger Brain" move he actually used?

The "Tiger Head and Tiger Brain" move may seem simple, but it actually contains many unpredictable variations and deadly moves. It's not enough to simply learn the moves he demonstrates.

However, Hu Sanqian felt that Chen Guan had some intellectual problems, so he didn't plan to take Chen Guan in anymore. He said somewhat perfunctorily, "Then demonstrate the Tiger Head and Tiger Brain move once. If you can imitate it perfectly, then I'll consider you to have broken it."

He said that, but in his heart he was thinking: "No matter how well he imitates it, I'll say he imitates it well. Get him out of here. The Tiger School doesn't accept idiots."

Chen Guan, unaware of the old man's thoughts, nodded, mimicked Hu Sanqian's posture, and then unleashed a move called "Tiger Head and Tiger Brain".

Chen Guan simply didn't need the technique, not that he couldn't learn it. His fighting talent was still quite good. Although he only watched it once, he was able to imitate the move "Tiger Head and Tiger Brain" about 70% similarly. In particular, his aura was quite like that of an old man, with the fierce momentum of a tiger descending the mountain.

The old man was thinking of getting rid of Chen Guan as soon as possible, regardless of whether his imitation was accurate or not.

However, Hu Sanqian was somewhat surprised when he saw Chen Guan use the move "Tiger Head and Tiger Brain". He thought to himself, "Although this kid's brain isn't very sharp, his talent for learning is not bad. He was able to imitate the momentum and artistic conception of the move 'Tiger Head and Tiger Brain'. Not bad."

Hu Sanqian, who had originally planned to send Chen Guan away with just this one move, said with a sanctimonious air, "Not bad, you've passed the first move. Now watch my second move."

As Hu Sanqian spoke, he unleashed another move, the Tiger Wind Fist, shaking his head and swaying his legs in a very strange manner.

However, Chen Guan could see that this move was a step further than the previous one, not only adding a head but also adding leg techniques.

This move makes it difficult for the opponent to defend themselves; they can block the upper body, but not the unpredictable swinging leg strike.

If you can block the attack from below, you can't block the strong attack from above.

"My move is called Tiger Head Snake Tail. How do you plan to counter it?" After Hu Sanqian finished demonstrating, he looked at Chen Guan with a smile and said, "You're not going to use the same trick on me again, are you? If you can imitate my Tiger Head Snake Tail move, I'll consider you passable."

Hu Sanqian was still somewhat confident. His move, Tiger Head Snake Tail, seemed simple, but it was actually not simple at all. Especially that reverse swing leg, no one who had not specially trained in leg techniques could kick such a strange leg technique.

Compared to the wide-open upper body movements, this kick is tricky, unpredictable, and vicious, making it impossible to defend against. Ordinary people simply cannot kick from this angle.

If things go wrong, you might not only hurt someone, but you could also break your own leg.

Even if someone has good flexibility and can perform the movements, it's difficult to simultaneously maintain the power of the upper body and the strangeness of the lower body. Most people would find it hard to even imitate the movements properly without three to five months of rigorous practice.

When Chen Guan heard Hu Sanqian say that as long as he could imitate it, he would pass the test, so he didn't bother to think too much and directly replicated Hu Sanqian's move, which started strong but ended weakly.

Although this kick was strange, it wasn't particularly difficult compared to someone like Shang Ziyi, who could use his entire body as a weapon.

Chen Guanlian had learned a thing or two of Shang Ziyi's moves, so this move wasn't too difficult for him.

After Chen Guan's attempt to finish off the attack was met with a half-hearted response, Hu Sanqian was even more surprised: "This kid isn't very bright, but his physical talent is really impressive. No wonder he's on the Tiger Ranking. Should we take him into our Tiger Sect?"

"Not bad, you've passed. Now watch my final move, Tiger Wind." Hu Sanqian unleashed the final killing move of the Tiger Wind Fist. The Tiger Wind Fist, also known as the Tiger Head Three Moves, consists of only three moves. The enemy must be killed within three moves. If the enemy is not killed after three moves, the user immediately turns and leaves, using another set of Fierce Tiger Returning to the Mountain movement techniques.

When Hu Sanqian unleashed his powerful move, the force of his punch was like a burst of air, and the power of the single move seemed capable of shaking mountains.

Chen Guan was somewhat surprised. This old man didn't use any Yuan Qi, but relied solely on his physical body and fist techniques to create a sonic boom. He did seem quite strong.

Chen Guan wasn't entirely confident this time, so he practiced on his own first.

The move "Tiger Rises in the Wind" itself isn't difficult; the challenge lies in using it to gather power and break through the air—something that can't be learned simply by imitation.

It includes both power generation techniques and bodily functions, neither of which can be omitted.

Chen Guan's physical abilities are quite strong compared to others of the same level.

Because of the massive amount of vital energy within his body, which nourishes him day and night, Chen Guan's physical strength and recovery ability are actually stronger than those of people of the same level.

While vital energy cannot determine physical strength and power, it does offer some benefits.

Chen Guan tried twice, but was unable to create a sonic boom using only his physical body and technique.

"What, did your 'fight fire with fire' fail this time?" Hu Sanqian looked at Chen Guan with a smile. The skill of his move was much better than the previous two moves; otherwise, how could it be the killing move of the Tiger Wind Fist?

This move can be described as a strike with all one's might. If this move cannot injure the enemy, then one can only make a hasty retreat and use the "Tiger Returns to the Mountain" technique.

"Alright." After trying it a few times, Chen Guan finally managed to create a sonic boom by combining pure physical skills with the Tiger Wind Fist.

Hu Sanqian was stunned for a moment: "That shouldn't be the case. Although the Tiger Wind Fist relies on technique, if the physical strength is not high enough, it should not be able to produce a sonic boom. Generally, it should require a physical body with the third awakening. This kid seems to be only at the second awakening, yet he was able to produce it. His physical strength is not bad."

This made Hu Sanqian hesitate. Although his intelligence might be a bit lacking, his learning ability and physical condition were truly excellent.

"In that case, I'll take my leave." Chen Guan turned to leave.

"Who are you standing on? Who said you were leaving?" Hu Sanqian immediately called out to Chen Guan.

"Didn't we agree before that I would break through these three moves of yours..."

“Yes, I said that after you broke these three moves, the compensation issue is negotiable, but I didn’t say that no compensation is required, did I?” Hu Sanqian said.

"How much compensation do you want, sir?" Chen Guan asked, frowning.

"Alright then, I see you're a promising talent, so I'll take you as my last disciple and waive your compensation." Hu Sanqian stood with his hands behind his back, exuding an air of authority that demanded he kneel down and become his disciple.
