Headless Immortal

Chapter 56 Martial Arts and Monsters

"I've learned a little bit of the language of monsters."

Frosty moonlit sky.

Plain colors reveal a person's face.

Sun Shen!

Lu Xunyao's eyes showed no unusual light. He never thought that others were not smart. His act of saving Xiao Cheng and everything that happened afterward showed that he was related to the caravan.

The fact that only bandits were killed and no innocent people were harmed further confirms this point.

However, as Sun Shen repeated, he never intended to hide it in the first place.

He didn't want to curry favor with the purple-bearded old man for anything, and Sun Shen had better not interfere with his plans.

Let's keep the water from the well and the river from the river.

"Roar."

Lu Xun stood under the moonlight, his cyan-gold fangs gleaming coldly, his silver fur swaying slightly in the evening breeze, his face, like a mask of a bronze-colored demon, showing no fear.

After rubbing his rough, menacing fingernails together, Lei Gong let out another soft roar.

Sun Shen is indeed a master, perhaps even more skilled than Senior Captain, but Lu Xun is no pushover either.

Under the big moon, by the pond.

The great demon can unleash its full power.

"You're right, we have no grudges against each other, and you even helped me out."

I owe you a favor.

Sun Shen spoke casually, taking the wine gourd from his waist and tossing it over.

Lu Xun took the gourd, but instead of drinking the wine inside, he threw it back: "Roar."

After saying that, he prepared to turn and leave.

He never intended to do anyone any favors.

"You are strong!"

"However, your steps are unsteady, your arms are weak, and your waist, hips, and spine are only used instinctively. Your basic skills are very poor! A martial artist who haphazardly cultivates true qi is no match for you. But once the opponent is a master, without the blessing of the Great Moon and the protection of the water flow, you will undoubtedly be defeated."

Lu Xun paused, turning his head slightly.

A single demonic eye swept towards Sun Shen.

He could not forget Gao Qingzhi's suppression of the Five Gods that day.

He was certainly aware of these issues, and it was precisely because he understood them that he came to the academy to study.

Sun Shen wasn't trying to belittle Lu Xun's martial arts skills. He changed the subject and said, "If you want to learn, I can teach you."

Lu Xun looked over in surprise.

He didn't have a bad impression of Sun Shen. On the contrary, when they met by the river, the other party clearly had doubts about his identity in his eyes, but was still willing to say something when he left, which was quite surprising.

When they met again later, this person gave Xiao Cheng a few more pointers, which were very precise and effective.

I thought Sun Shen was just a know-it-all, but I didn't expect to see that this monster didn't keep to himself either.

Sun Shen frankly said, "I don't like owing favors. To be honest, it's not just that you're learning from me, I also want to learn more from you."

He added, "I practice Ape Style Boxing."

"Great!"

Sun Shen was overjoyed and laughed, "Shall we find a place to spar?"

"Roar."

"There is a flat area behind the ancient pine forest."

In my childhood.

One person and three strange creatures arrived.

Toothless and Grey cheered them on from the sidelines.

Lu Xun walked into the flat midfield.

Sun Shen first clasped his hands in a salute, then spread his hands and said with a smile, "Come on, let's lend a hand."

He had long wanted to fight a great demon, but his duty prevented him from leaving his post. Most of the skills he learned were designed to target humans; otherwise, he could have been transferred to the Earthly Department as a demon-suppressing captain.

Unexpectedly, this trip to the White Deer Cave Academy to escort the capital commander had yielded such an opportunity, which naturally delighted him.

Wu Tonglu Xun tried to clasp his hands in a fist salute, but his attempt was awkward and clumsy.

Hesitant for a moment, unsure of how to proceed.

For someone who was once lame and completely ignorant of martial arts, he had read many martial arts novels and seen a variety of modern combat techniques, but he had never practiced them. The Tiger Fist he learned in those few days benefited from the Tiger Body and Old Cat Body techniques, but without the foundation of a physical body, it looked very crude.

He was also unsure of Sun Shen's actual skill level.

When he faced bandits, the unarmored bandits were like paper. They seemed powerful and imposing, but they were easily torn open.

As Lao Cheng once said, even the greatest demons are still flesh and blood beings born of parents, and the army was helpless once trapped.

Even the magic power couldn't withstand a few rounds of the Iron Arm Bow; true energy would eventually run out.

Enough of the digressions, Lu Xun still felt...

Sun Shen set up his stance and shouted, "Don't think, throw a punch!"

This shout woke Lu Xun. The seven-foot-tall ape-like body stirred.

'So fast! '

Although I had seen powerful demons in action before, I was still shocked when I faced one in person.

The iron fist cuts through the wind, and the sharp airflow is stirred into blades.

With great strength and momentum, his feet seemed to be rooted to the ground.

Hesitant when not making a move, once it is unleashed, it shatters the winds from all directions like mercury spilling onto the ground.

Wutong Shen was originally skilled in Monkey Fist. Although it was just a performance art, it was still somewhat rudimentary, like a farmer's martial art. The wind howled like a monkey, and his iron fists were like giant pythons emerging from their caves, dazzling the eyes.

Bang.

The ancient pine tree, which required two people to hug, bore a fist mark after being punched.

hum.

Cracks appeared on the bluestone ground beneath our feet.

Sun Shen repeatedly said "yes," his eyes brimming with delight.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the great demon looks like a child learning to walk and can't even touch the hem of his clothes. His talent is far beyond what ordinary people can match. It's as if the demon was born to practice the monkey-style boxing.

Sun Shen shook his head casually.

Does he really think that the great demon is a martial arts practitioner?
Humans learned skills from monsters and summarized them into martial arts.

"Come!"

Sun Shen stopped using his graceful movements and monkey-style fists to dodge; he wanted to fight the great monster head-on.

Ape-style Fist, Tongbi, is also known as Long Fist.

It emphasizes striking from a distance, striking first, and striking with a deep, cold, and crisp force.

They fought with long fists.

The shadow was as fast as lightning, and the sound as loud as thunder.

A leopard's roar echoed from his bones, and a tiger's howl shook his internal organs.

Sun Shen, as expected of a master, reversed the situation in an instant. Even though Lu Xun's iron fist could split rocks and move as fast as the wind, Sun Shen's long arms moved like a loom, weaving Lu Xun's strength and speed into his own power, and his fists struck Lu Xun's body like flying shuttles.

Although Lu Xun had long known he would be in this situation facing a great master, the great demon's pride and unwillingness to admit defeat allowed him to hold on and not use magic to retaliate.

It was supposed to be a friendly exchange, but in reality, the other party was giving him pointers.

A few moments.

Panting heavily, Lu Xun's strength and speed decreased sharply.

"happy."

"happy!"

Sun Shen's breathing remained steady and long without any disturbance.

Sun Shen, laughing heartily, raised his hand and said, "Okay, that's enough."

"His foundation is too solid. He only needs to connect his body. He can become a master immediately." Sun Shen looked at the giant monster, who was half a head taller than him and about seven feet tall. It was as if it was always standing in a stance. No wonder its strength was amazing.

His perfect broad back and wasp waist, and his long arms seemed capable of scooping the moon from a well and reaching the heavens.

"Good, good, good!"

Lu Xun praised her so much that she felt embarrassed, saying "good" three times in a row.

Sun Shen, oblivious to the fact that you were born with the skill of stance training, observed and said, "Your breathing is perfectly in sync with nature..."

The great demon already possessed true energy, so he no longer needed to endure the three trials.

"I have thirty-six stance training exercises and one hundred and eight ape-style boxing routines with auxiliary qi diagrams."

"Watch it."

"This is stance training."

Sun Shen then began to walk, sit, lie down, stand, grab, turn, take... all thirty-six movements were completely integrated into his daily life. Every minute and every second was spent practicing stance training. It wasn't just at any specific moment, but rather it was exceptionally in line with the various body movements of Wutong Lu Xun.

Then he performed another round of Ape-Style Fist. His body was fast, and his fists were even faster. In his leaps and bounds, he seemed like a great ape roaming freely among mountain streams, plains, ancient forests, and towering peaks. It was as if he was fighting fiercely with a group of beasts, or fighting and running around, expending his vital energy.

In the fast-paced game, every stance is steady, accurate, and crisp.

His true energy flowed freely, sweeping everything into his arms and feet like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

The essence, energy, and spirit are completely condensed into one point, governing both the internal and external, and connecting all directions.

As he finished, Lu Xun unconsciously clapped his hands.

"The formula for force application is: cold, elastic, crisp, fast, hard; deep, long, flexible, soft, and skillful; heavy, fierce, light, agile, and trembling; encompassing emptiness, sticking, and following."

There was absolutely nothing left unsaid.

Lu Xun cupped his hands in a fist salute and softly roared.

"Oh, you also have cultivation techniques?" Sun Shen found it interesting.

His approach to martial arts is to learn from and integrate the strengths of various schools, even if the great demons only possess some rudimentary techniques, he still values ​​them.

Lu Xun nodded. He did not know martial arts, but he had a spell called 'Ape Dance'.
