Half-human, half-ghost, the number one divine fist

half a month later.

The weather is gradually getting hotter.

However, there was still a thin layer of frost in the early morning.

As the mist hung in the air, Lin Fusheng, shirtless, set up his stance in the backyard.

He paced slowly, his feet rising and falling flat, like an old farmer plowing the field or a chicken wading through mud, moving steadily close to the ground.

This is the basic footwork of Liuhequan, the Chicken Step.

It is also known as wading through mud.

This footwork may seem slow and clumsy, but it is actually very stable in terms of center of gravity. The transitions between steps are full of hidden tricks and can unleash a fierce impact in an instant.

As his footwork became more practiced, his focus gradually sharpened.

Lin Fusheng's body stabilized, and his waist and hips suddenly twisted. Power burst forth from where his feet were rooted, running along his legs, through his hips, and down his spine, like a steel whip being swung in an instant!

This power is not a scattered brute force, but a unified "whole force" that is amplified through the transmission of the shoulder and elbow, and finally poured into the right fist!

"Hey!"

He exhaled and made a sound, then threw a punch!

This is the iconic "Crushing Fist" of Liuhequan!

The fist moves in a straight line, as fast as an arrow, and with unstoppable force!

Wherever the fist struck, the air emitted a short, sharp whistling sound!

This punch is not aimed at a heavy slam, but at a crisp and swift "cold spring force," like a taut bowstring suddenly released, or like a venomous snake spitting its tongue, intended to penetrate!

With a swift retraction of his fist, without pausing, his left fist transformed into a palm, descending from above like a giant axe splitting a mountain, carrying a powerful and domineering downward chopping force—it was none other than the 'Chopping Fist'!

Immediately afterwards, the right fist arced upwards and spiraled forward, the fist tip carrying a rotating tearing sensation, this is the "Drill Fist"!

Finally, he rose and fell, pushing forward with both palms, like a tiger unleashed from its cage, charging out with the force of his entire body.

Hupu!

Collapse, split, drill, pounce.

Lin Fusheng could use all sorts of techniques with ease and seamless integration.

The force flows smoothly and the footwork closely follows the punches, whether advancing or retreating, dodging or turning, always maintaining the best power structure and offensive and defensive posture.

After many days of practice, Lin Fusheng had a new feeling, integrating the offensive and defensive concepts and the essence of power generation contained in Liuhequan into every punch and every step, constantly comprehending, refining and integrating them.

After finishing a set of boxing techniques, his breathing was long and deep.

Lin Fusheng had a slight thought.

The results of half a month of arduous study soon became apparent.

Mountain Crash Technique (Beginner: 16/100): Defense +16%

Six Harmony Fist (Mastery: 282/300): Attack +282%

Defense: 15 (+2.4)

Attack: 25 (+70.5)

His progress in striking the mountain was a little slow; for the past two weeks, he has been focusing on practicing the Six Harmonies Fist.

After all, his basic defensive attributes were not high, his progress in cultivating the Mountain-Smashing Technique was slow, and his overall improvement was very low. He only practiced it once a day, and spent the rest of his time cultivating the Six Harmonies Fist.

This greatly increased his attack power.

The base score has been increased to 25 points.

With the addition of the 282% boost from the completion of the Six Harmonies Fist, the actual attack power reaches 95.5.

This is nearly three times that of a typical stone-skinned area.

Lin Fusheng clenched his fist tightly, feeling the terrifying power surging beneath his skin and a more acute control over the subtle parts of his body.

The results of this two-week intensive training far exceeded expectations.

With half a month remaining, Liuhequan will surely be able to achieve complete perfection.

Immediately, Lin Fusheng felt a little hungry and prepared to eat some beef to replenish his energy.

But then, two people walked over.

The person in front was Xiao Tian, ​​and behind him was Lin Ruoyin, whose face was worried and whose eyes were slightly red.

"Chief Lin, your aunt is here."

Xiao Tian announced the news in a low voice and tactfully stepped aside.

"Fu Sheng!"

Lin Ruoyin quickly stepped forward and looked Lin Fusheng up and down. Seeing that he was in good spirits and seemed to have gained more courage and bravery than the last time she saw him, she felt a little relieved, but her worry did not diminish.

"How are you?"

"Auntie, I'm fine. Why are you here again?"

Lin Fusheng invited her to sit down on the stone bench in the courtyard.

Lin Ruoyin did not sit down, but instead tightly clutched a small bundle in her hand, her face full of guilt and helplessness.

"Fusheng, your aunt is no use. I'll go beg your grandfather and your third uncle..."

She briefly recounted how she went to Lin Shouting's house for help, only to be met with ridicule and a cold rejection. Her voice choked with emotion, "They refused to help and even made sarcastic remarks. The foreigners' way won't work. Auntie is so sorry, I couldn't help you..."

Seeing his aunt's self-blame and pain, Lin Fusheng felt guilty.

The aunt suffered injustice because of him.

He was very grateful to his aunt.

Lin Fusheng gently patted Lin Ruoyin's hand: "Aunt, that's the kind of people their family is. Haven't you noticed after all these years? Ever since Third Uncle's family got on the good side with the foreigners, Grandpa has changed too."

"I am already very grateful that you came to see me."

"Ugh."

Lin Ruoyin wiped her eyes, then suddenly remembered something. She quickly opened the bundle in her hand and took out a neatly folded, cool and supple dark gray soft armor, as well as a heavy little cloth bag.

"This is the inner soft armor that your Uncle Qi had when he worked at the police station. After his old superior retired, it was left to him. It is said to be made of a special fiber from Southeast Asia mixed with fine steel wire. It is lightweight and fits the body well."

Lin Ruoyin handed the soft armor to Lin Fusheng.

"Although he spoke of it casually, I've inquired about it, and this thing is extremely rare! It's difficult to damage with ordinary swords and knives, and even if you're hit by a stray bullet from a musket or a long-range bullet, as long as it doesn't hit a vital spot, it can deflect most of the force and save your life! Facing a full-force attack from an Iron-Tendon Master, it might not be able to completely block it, but it can resist a large portion of the damage, preventing you from being killed in one blow!"

She then stuffed the small cloth bag into Lin Fusheng's hand: "There are fifty silver dollars in here. Your Uncle Qi asked me to bring them to you. He said the world is dangerous, and it never hurts to have more money on hand. Fusheng, your aunt and uncle can't help you much, but you, you must accept these things! Be careful, you must... come back alive!"

The soft armor feels light yet tough, with the weight of the ocean in your hand.

Lin Fusheng looked into his aunt's earnest, tearful eyes, and his throat tightened.

My aunt and uncle always came to help me in my time of need.

This family never looks down on anyone.

To be honest, in this era, family ties aren't really that important.

Many people have very hard and cold hearts.

It's rare to find a relative like an aunt these days.

Especially her rarely seen uncle-in-law; without his support, her aunt would probably find it difficult to even come to see her.

"Aunt, Uncle... I can't thank you enough for your kindness."

Lin Fusheng solemnly put away the soft armor and silver dollars. "These things are very important to me. I will remember your kindness."

"Silly child, don't say thank you."

Lin Ruoyin pulled him up and gave him a long, rambling lecture before leaving with a heavy heart, turning back to look at him repeatedly.

After Lin Ruoyin left, Lin Fusheng stroked the soft armor.

This thing is really useful.

He is far from being able to be fearless of firearms.

Although the local warlord in Songjiang issued a gun ban, no one could guarantee that someone wouldn't use a gun.

Another two weeks have passed.

Lin Fusheng's life was relatively monotonous.

In the daily grind of self-cultivation, or handling some matters and dealing with troublemakers at the Jinrong Casino, there were no major disturbances.

Uncle Rong took even better care of Chen Cang.

However, Lin Fusheng did not pay much attention to these matters.

In the backyard of the gambling den, Lin Fusheng stood quietly.

He had just completed his only practice of the Mountain-Striking Technique for the day, and the pain on his body was no longer as intense as it had been at the beginning. Instead, he felt a deep soreness.

On the visualization diagram, the progress of the Mountain-Striking Method has reached (32/100).

Progress is relatively slow.

For the past two weeks, I have continued to focus on practicing Liuhequan (Six Harmonies Boxing).

Feeling the surge of qi and blood within his body and the restlessness of his fist intent, Lin Fusheng narrowed his eyes.

He slowly began to assume the starting stance of Liuhequan, his mind calm and his thoughts highly focused.

As the progress of Liuhequan (Six Harmonies Boxing) was nearing completion, Lin Fusheng had a new feeling.

This feeling also means that you have grasped the deepest essence of Liuhequan.

The six elements are united as one.

Liuhequan is divided into inner three harmonies and outer three harmonies.

The three inner principles must first be aligned with the heart.

Discard all distracting thoughts.

Life and death, honor and disgrace, calculation and tenderness are all suppressed at this moment, leaving only the purest understanding and drive of the boxing technique itself.

This is the union of heart and mind.

The mind, like fine threads, guides the surging blood and qi within the body to flow and converge along the required path of the fist technique. The breath is deep and long, perfectly synchronized with the flow of mind and blood and qi.

This step is called the union of intention and energy.

When the flow of Qi and blood reaches its peak, it naturally generates an overwhelming and unstoppable force. Every bit of power is supported by Qi and blood, flowing smoothly and without any stagnation.

Ultimately, Qi and strength combine.

When the three internal harmonies are achieved, the body's energy becomes perfectly integrated.

Then came the external three-way combination, which moved accordingly.

The shoulder and hip joints are like precisely meshed gears, rotating synchronously with the twisting of the waist and hips, driving the entire torso to form a stable and powerful foundation.

This is the alignment of the shoulder and hip.

The elbow and knee, as the middle joints of the limbs, respond to each other during the transition between offense and defense, controlling the optimal angle of force exertion and the defensive range.

Elbows and knees come together.

Every strike of the fist, palm, fingers, and claws is perfectly coordinated with the footwork and movement, hitting exactly where it's aimed, with power reaching the extremities without any deviation, achieving perfect harmony between hand and foot.

With all three external features in place, his physical structure is impeccable.

Ultimately, with internal and external forces united, all six elements become one!

Lin Fusheng's movements did not seem particularly fast, but they carried an indescribable coordination and rhythm.

With every gesture, every muscle, tendon, and joint in the body, even the surging blood and concentrated intention, seemed to become an inseparable whole.

A single hair can affect the whole body.

When one moves, everything else remains still!

The Bengquan (crushing fist) is unleashed, carrying the twisting and explosive force of the whole body, like a dragon emerging from the abyss, unstoppable!

The palm strike seemed to stir up the surrounding airflow, its powerful force tempered with agile changes!

With the force of a tiger's pounce, its entire body transforms into a giant bow that has been fully drawn and suddenly released. As it pounces, the wind howls and its power is terrifying!

At this moment, Lin Fusheng seemed to no longer be boxing, but rather interpreting a martial arts realm that perfectly combines strength and beauty, hardness and softness, movement and stillness!

Wherever the mind goes, the strength follows; every part of the body is in harmony, and every part contains deadly intent!

"Buzz—!"

As the final movement concluded, Lin Fusheng stood quietly, his blood and energy still surging and pulsating beneath his skin, emitting a low hum.

He slowly exhaled a long breath, his breath like an arrow, concentrated and undispersed, shooting out several feet away!

In his mind, the progress bar representing the level of Liuhequan (Six Harmonies Fist) quietly jumped and froze at its final number.

Six Harmony Fist (Perfect: 400/400): Attack +400%

Perfect, the attack power has increased by a full four times.

The attack section also changes accordingly.

Attack: 29 (+116)

Total attack power reaches 145 points!

He then checked his defense stat.

Mountain Crash Technique (Beginner: 32/100): Defense +32%

Defense: 15 (+4.8)

The defense has also been improved.

better than nothing.

Lin Fusheng slowly opened his eyes, his gaze sharp yet deep as the starry sky.

He gently moved his hands and feet, feeling the surging power within him and an unprecedented sense of control.

His skin is as tough as old cowhide, his muscles and bones are strong, his blood and qi flow like the Yangtze River, and his boxing intent is rounded and penetrating.

After a month of arduous training, the stone skin became stable, the qi and blood became more abundant, and the Six Harmonies Fist was perfected.

Furthermore, there was a life-saving soft armor given to me by my aunt.

He felt that he might be able to find a glimmer of hope in this dead end.

No, he will definitely survive.

Ultimately, Hu Tiannan's trap still required a covert operation rather than a direct confrontation.

Moreover, the three Iron-Muscles also need to contend with the power of Jin Yulou.

Under these circumstances, he was confident that he could fight his way out of this desperate situation!

"I'll take a shower and then I won't rest today."

Lin Fusheng was in a good mood and slept soundly that night.

In his dream, he survived a deadly situation.

Not long after, his strength increased, and he beat Hua Wendong, Hu Tiannan, and Rong Chongming to death.

A smile unconsciously crept onto Lin Fusheng's lips.

Two days later.

early morning.

Xiao Tian hurried to the backyard and whispered to Lin Fusheng, who had just finished his morning exercise:

"Chief Lin, someone from Huai Ren Tang has come and says... you need to go there immediately."

Upon hearing this, Lin Fusheng paused slightly in wiping his sweat.

He raised his head and looked at the gray sky outside the courtyard.

The weather isn't very good today.

Rainy day.

Time is up.

It seems.

The operation against Jin Yulou will take place today.
