Quickly conquer the martial arts world, and let your fists dominate the heavens!

Chapter 211 Divine Transformation!

His martial arts skills are nearing their peak; he's just one step away from achieving the highest level, not much different from Ma Fengtu.

Moreover, he has his own set of martial arts skills.

"The flying clouds sway and swirl!"

The five characters refer to the Five Methods, which are derived from the five fists of Xingyi Quan: "Splitting, Collapsing, Drilling, Cannoning, and Horizontal." He learned Xingyi Quan from Master Lingkong of Mount Wutai twenty years ago.

After taking over the Tianjin National Martial Arts Academy, he created "Xianxingyi Xingquan" and proposed the "Five Methods of Flying Clouds Shaking Spinning" to open up a new path for Xingyiquan. Shang Yunxiang also recognized that his Xianxingquan was of great help in improving Xingyiquan skills.

Now, when used, the "Flying Technique" – Twin Dragons Playing with a Pearl – is aimed directly at Chen Zhan's eyes!
This was incredibly fast, and someone on the sidelines exclaimed in surprise, but Chen Zhan didn't move. His left arm sank slightly, and his fist shot out from below, which was the most powerful Beng Quan in Xingyi Quan!
A powerful punch to the wrist!

Before the fist even reached him, a powerful, hidden force forced Xue Dian's outstretched fingers to tremble slightly. He tapped Chen Zhan's arm with his toes, and his body suddenly spun around, like a piece of paper being swept by the wind to Chen Zhan's back. His left hand used a "spinning technique" to create a monkey fanning the wind posture, and his palm brushed past Chen Zhan's waist.

How could a human possess such agility? It was clearly a ghostly close-up, even the shadow followed it slowly.

Such agility even impressed Chen Zhan slightly. "Interesting!"

Chen Zhan seemed to have eyes in the back of his head. Without turning around, he swung his right fist backward, the force of the punch sweeping across the ground and sending splinters of wood flying half a foot off the ground.

A variation of the chopping fist!
"Bang"!
With a muffled thud, fist and palm collided. Xue Dian felt as if his palm had hit a red-hot iron. A surge of force rushed up his arm, and he used the momentum to float backward for about ten feet. When his toes touched the ground, his body was still swaying slightly.

With focused eyes, he exclaimed, "What a brilliant Bengquan-Hua-Pi technique! Excellent Xingyi! You have truly inherited the master's true teachings!"

Before he finished speaking, Xue Dian moved again, this time using a "swaying technique." His figure moved left and right, circling around Chen Zhan as if his feet were not touching the ground. Sometimes he would punch hard at Chen Zhan's chest, and sometimes he would pounce on him to attack his lower abdomen.

Each move was so fast that the transitions between them were impossible to see. The people on the sidelines could only see two shadows spinning around on the field. Xue Dian's blue cloth shirt fluttered like a ghostly hem, and not even the sound of his footsteps could be heard.

Chen Zhan remained standing in place, his arms hanging slightly, only throwing punches the instant Xue Dian's moves were about to arrive. He used chopping punches to break through drills, collapsing punches to block and pounce, and horizontal punches to intercept and sweep. Every punch hit the flaws in Xue Dian's moves precisely. The force of his punches was so strong that Xue Dian had to retreat backward every time they made contact, and his originally elusive movements gradually slowed down.

"It's my turn." Chen Zhan suddenly spoke, and as soon as he finished speaking, he took a half step forward.

This half-step, though slow, instantly closed the distance between him and Xue Dian. His right fist clenched, the surface of his fist glowing with a faint red aura of internal energy.

As soon as the punch started, the air in the arena seemed to be heated up. Xue Dian's pupils shrank suddenly, and he hurriedly used the "shaking technique" to retreat, but this time he couldn't drift away!

Chen Zhan's punches were delivered close to the target; as he retreated, his punches followed.

The force of his punch was like a net, covering the space around him.

He could only twist his body and turn his waist, trying to use the "spinning method" to listen to the force. He raised his hands to his ears, his five senses were extremely sharp, and his hair stood on end. When Chen Zhan's fist arrived at his side, Xue Dian's hands, like "a monkey fanning the wind," immediately sensed the location.

Taking advantage of the force of the punch, he turned around and circled to the side, his hands suddenly coming down from his body and ears, and "slapping" towards Chen Zhan.

The dangers that follow are all contained within the monkey-like forms, such as "monkey washing its face" and "monkey picking dates."

It was even more hidden and dangerous than Gong Baotian and the Old Ape Hanging Seal.

Monkey Hands Slicing Noodles is no simple matter of just "slicing" it! Xue Dian uses two layers of strength, both internal and external, which are as thick as a bent steel neck. With this "slicing," he can straighten it out!

Not to mention the human face and facial features.

If you get hit, your facial features will be torn off, leaving your face a bloody mess.

There are many Xingyi masters who are skilled in the monkey form, and Xue Dian was one of the best among them.

But Chen Zhan could not possibly be hit in the face. The monkey form was agile, but not as sudden as the alligator form!

A cold wind blew across his face, and as his hands were already pressed against his face, Chen Zhan stretched out his body, his arms swinging with the force of a raging torrent, his hands moving in rapid succession.

Twist your waist! Spread your arms!
It was as if a divine crocodile was floating on the water!

The hands, seemingly appearing out of nowhere, defying the natural bending limits of human limbs, rose from bottom to top to meet the "monkey washing its face!"

"Crack~!"

Instantly separate.

The monkey seemed to have been struck by lightning, its fur standing on end, and it retreated sharply. However, the contact was brief and the two separated immediately. Xue Dian, like a frightened monkey, leaped back and not only stopped trying to attack but actually tried to run away!
They just went on and on, acting incredibly arrogant.

I don't know why, but just that one touch changed my mind, and I turned around and left.

Others might not understand, but Xue Dian himself was in turmoil.

Back then, he was in his twenties, while Li Cunyi was in his prime, having mastered his kung fu to the highest level, and was teaching and guiding a group of disciples.

Towards the end of the conversation, he asked a question: "Is there a limit to martial arts skills?"

Li Cunyi pondered for a moment, shook his head, and then said, "I don't know. I don't know if there's an end to martial arts, but when you reach my level, with the 'embracing the dantian and sitting on the hips,' your strength is developed to its limit, concentrated to the extreme, and your explosive power is at its peak. If you want to go any further..."

Everyone was drawn in and asked, "Master, how about taking it one step further?"

After thinking for a long time, Li Cunyi finally came up with an explanation: "A divine transformation!"

But what was "divine transformation"? None of the fellow disciples understood. Li Cunyi finally said:

"What is divine transformation? It means becoming different from ordinary people. For example, internal strength originally requires stimulating the heart and blood, and urging sweat to activate acupoints. It can only be used to strike acupoints. But after 'divine transformation,' internal strength is no longer internal strength. It is innate qi, which can strike people in mid-air and is as hard as iron!"

"A hidden force soaring through the air, yet as hard as iron???"

"Wouldn't that make it a 'flying sword'?"

The fellow disciples were incredulous, and then they remembered what Li Cunyi had said about "divine transformation," which meant being different from humans.

The reason Xue Dian turned and left at top speed was because he had sensed what his master Li Cunyi had said in the brief moment of their fight.

Its hidden strength is like a powerful force.

As strong and firm as iron!

"Divine Transformation!"

Chen Zhan's kung fu is beyond human capabilities; once he reaches the level of "divine transformation," any further wonders and unbelievable feats are to be expected.

Throughout history, even Li Cunyi, one of the five great masters of the Republic of China, only knew a few words about this and didn't have a deep understanding of its level. He also completely understood how Chen Zhan dared to be so arrogant!
How dare you say you killed over a thousand Japanese soldiers?

How dare I claim to rule the martial arts world and have all rivers flow into the sea?

How dare they take the position of Grand Master of Xingyi without Sun Lutang's consent!
I thought he had gone crazy.

In retrospect, it wasn't madness, but rather a success!

Xue Dian believed that if he reached that level, he would be even more arrogant than Chen Zhan. Not only would he not call himself the Grand Master, but he could also directly storm the Central Martial Arts Academy and demand a position from Sun Lutang face to face.

My mind raced, and these thoughts flashed through my mind in an instant, like an electric shock.

But he moved even faster, already at the edge of the ring. He wasn't going to say anything harsh, because Chen Zhan's promise to teach him kung fu was no joke.

Then he stepped down from the stage.

It's impossible for Chen Zhan to chase him all over the capital in the streets. Wouldn't the leader of the martial arts alliance disregard such a small matter?

So I made up my mind to leave the capital immediately and go directly to Wutai Temple in Shanxi!
With the final step, he leaped halfway down, one foot in front of the other.

A devilish voice rang out: "Now you want to leave?"

A hand rested on the foot, and in the next moment, the surging force was simply irresistible.

"boom!"

The person drew an arc in the air and fell to the other side of the ring. Xue Dian braced himself with his hands, pressed his ten fingers down, and his body sprang up like a nimble monkey, directly darting to the other side.

But this time, Chen Zhan would not let him walk to the edge of the stage again. He used the same Monkey-style Mind Step, but his speed was faster, more elusive, and more ghostly!

It wobbled and swayed until it reached us.

"I told you I'd teach you martial arts today!"

Advanced Bengquan!

Guo Yunshen was known as the master of the Half-Step Bengquan. There was no such thing as the Half-Step Bengquan before; there was only Bengquan. Whether it was half a step, one step, or three steps in a row, it didn't matter.

The reason why "Half-Step Bengquan" is the most famous is because Guo Yunshen was in prison with shackles on his feet, and he could only move half a step.

He thus brought the Bengquan (a type of fist technique) to its extreme, and after being released from prison, he fought all over the banks of the Yellow River, thus earning the name "Half-Step Bengquan".

But at Chen Zhan's level, there's no difference between half a step and a full step.

The power originates from the dantian, and the force is rapid and intense!

Xue Dian was caught off guard and couldn't withstand the force of the Beng Quan. However, he was clever. With the bones in his arm cracked, he used the force to float far off the stage.

At this point, the audience realized that he wanted to leave.

But since Chen Zhan dared to throw that punch, he couldn't let him escape.

With each step, three holes are created beneath the wooden planks, arranged very neatly.

The three holes form a perfect triangular shape!
Chen Zhan's figure moved like a dragonfly skimming the water, taking a single step and arriving at Xue Dian's landing point almost instantly.

"Holy crap, what kind of movement technique is that?!"

Xue Dian was known for his agility. He was forced back, but he used his lightness skill to leap forward as he retreated. However, Chen Zhan overtook him in an instant.

As his body flew horizontally, Chen Zhan arrived in front of him.

One palm!
Ox-tongue curly! Press it on his dantian point!

A powerful burst of energy!

"Boo~!"

"what!!!"

As if a golden needle had pierced a balloon, a soft sound came from Xue Dian's abdomen.

The Qihai acupoint! It's been punctured!
But that's not enough. Traditional Chinese martial arts are not like those martial arts novels. If your dantian is pierced, your internal energy will leak out. If your qihai acupoint is pierced, the most serious consequence is intestinal perforation and abdominal rot. It won't be fatal without the next step.

"Shouting won't do any good!"

Chen Zhan continued his actions, pinching each of his four limbs, and he screamed four more times.

"Ah~!"

The tendons in my hands and feet are severed.

Finally, he grabbed her arm, threw her down, and headed straight for Wang Xiangzhai.

"Uncle Wang, please send him back to Tianjin. Thank you for your trouble."

Wang Xiangzhai had been watching closely, so how could he not react?

If the tendons in your hands and feet are severed, they can be reattached in this day and age, but your martial arts skills will be basically ruined, and you won't be able to exert full force.

Chen Zhan had suffered this injury before. He had broken a tendon in his hand during a fight with the Qing Dynasty's leader, but he had the ability to heal himself and was also nourished by turtle soup.

"Oh!"

Wang Xiangzhai caught Xue Dian, sighed deeply, and said, "I understand."

He really didn't want to see fellow disciples kill each other. Xue Dian was indeed a bit arrogant, disregarding the bonds between fellow disciples, injuring Xiong Hanshan, and not giving Chen Zhan any face.

He didn't know what Xue Dian would do in the future, nor did he know much about his character and personality, so he felt that Chen Zhan's actions were ruthless and cruel.
