From slave trader to the Immortal Lord of Ten Thousand Laws

Hmm? Teach me?

Xiao Sun was stunned.

He had only hoped that his luck would improve so that he could help Jiang Ge'er in three days, but he never thought that Jiang Ge'er would teach him anything. Unexpectedly, he was actually going to have to teach him.

Xiao Sun raised his head and looked up.

But I don't know how Brother Jiang taught him...

Jiang She grinned: "Just keep punching me."

Ok?

Xiao Sun was stunned for a moment: "Brother Jiang, are you still half asleep? How could I possibly punch you..."

"Hmph!" Jiang She frowned, "What are you afraid of? Stop being coy, just throw a punch at me."

"this..."

Xiao Sun looked troubled. "Brother Jiang, I'm afraid you can't withstand the power of my punch, which represents twenty years of internal strength."

Jiang She waved his hand dismissively: "Just keep throwing punches."

"Alright... then..."

Xiao Sun nodded, immediately lowered his shoulders, and assumed a boxing stance.

Jiang She saw that his head was straight and his neck was upright, and he landed in a horse stance. At the same time as he landed, his right hand was raised to the side of his head. He immediately recognized that this was the "Horse Stance Stance" of the Five Steps Long Fist.

This move combines the stability of the horse stance with the upward and downward striking power of the body. When stepping forward, it can be used as a bow stance punch, and when squatting down, it can be used as a crouching stance palm strike. The move is versatile and can be used for both offense and defense.

However, Xiao Sun committed a major taboo in Changquan (a style of Chinese martial arts).

—The fighting is out of sync!

"The worst thing you can do in Long Fist is to block before you strike or strike before you block. Why are you only blocking and not striking? Are you perhaps holding back?"

Jiang She frowned and asked.

Little Sun gave an awkward smile:

"But Brother Jiang saw through it."

"Hmph!" Jiang She lowered his brows, slightly displeased. "Don't hold back, just throw your punches with all your might."

"good!"

Xiao Sun nodded heavily, then dispersed his boxing stance and gathered his strength again. He lowered his center of gravity, squatted down, and stepped into a horse stance. At the same time, he placed his right hand on the side of his head and punched out with his left fist at shoulder height.

"Swoosh—"

The fist whistled and struck Jiang She's face.

If he were to land a punch, a chilling sound of bones cracking would surely echo through the yard.

However...

But then a whip cracked:

“Pah!”

Xiao Sun felt a sharp pain in his wrist, and a tingling, piercing pain shot up his arm to his shoulder blade, causing him to take a half step back.

His eyes widened in shock. Before he could even unleash his punch aimed at Jiang She's face, Jiang She snapped it off with a whip-like motion. Then, taking advantage of his stagger, Jiang She slashed straight into his midline and delivered a powerful elbow strike to his chest, stopping just in front of his acupoint.

"Gurgle..."

Xiao Sun's Adam's apple bobbed, and his face turned deathly pale with fright.

The Tanzhong acupoint is a major acupoint in the human body. If Jiang She had not stopped his force just now, Xiao Sun would probably have already collapsed and died.

"Brother Jiang, this..."

"You flatter me."

Jiang She withdrew his fist and took a step back.

His punch was perfectly timed, with the force just within the range of someone recovering from a serious injury. It contained no real internal energy, making people think he had truly lost his strength.

"Phew~"

Xiao Sun's eyes were still filled with fear, and large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead. He took a deep breath, steadied himself, and said in a trembling voice while clenching his fists:

"Brother Jiang, I've lost..."

"But Brother Jiang... how did you know I was going to throw a straight punch...?"

The horse stance in Changquan (Long Fist) is a style that combines offense and defense and has many variations. When stepping forward, one can perform a bow stance punch, and when stepping down, one can perform a crouching stance palm strike. There are many moves that can be connected and changed, and the opponent is often unable to predict the punch before it is thrown.

Jiang She smiled and said, "Little Sun, your long fist technique is quite good, really quite good. Long fist emphasizes that the eyes follow the hands and the movements, and you follow these principles. Before the fist is even thrown, your eyes are already seeing the direction of the fist, so naturally people can guess it."

As he spoke, Jiang She took a step forward, clenched his right fist, and placed it beside his head, extending it to shoulder height, saying:

"For example, throwing a punch..."

"To stabilize their stance, they often take a step forward before unleashing a punch. If you attack their Zusanli acupoint at this moment, it will cause their calf to become numb and their meridians to be blocked, causing their punching momentum to collapse without a fight."

"This is what I'm going to teach you."

Its name

—Returning to the clouds and mountains!

"Returning Clouds and Returning to the Peak?" Little Sun was stunned for a moment, repeating the name of the move several times.

Seeing this, Jiang She remained silent, but thought to himself:

"I dare not let Little Sun know that I made up this move name on the spot, and I must not let him know that this style is taken from 'The Great Use of Heaven and Earth'."

The martial arts technique on the Xuanjin Bracelet, "Qiankun Dayong Tong," only contains the moves but not the mental cultivation method. One of the moves is called "Yunhe Baijie." Jiang She took some of the fur from it, crumpled it into a ball, and haphazardly named it "Huiyun Fanxiu."

But to everyone's surprise, Little Sun actually believed it.

So he pinched his shoulder blade, put his hands behind his back, and said, "Try to put on a flat horse stance and let me show you."

"good!"

Xiao Sun readily agreed, immediately straightening his head and neck, looking straight ahead, squatting down with his feet apart, gripping the ground with his toes, and extending his fists straight forward, so that his center of gravity was evenly distributed between his feet, with his Yongquan acupoint facing the ground, making it look like he was sitting on a high stool.

Jiang She nodded, put his hands behind his back, and circled around Xiao Sun, observing his stance:

"With a level head, level shoulders, and level legs, power originates from the ground, and the feet are firmly rooted. This is undoubtedly the Siping Great Horse."

Sun Tou had a solid foundation in martial arts, and his stance in the Siping stance was quite impressive. Even though Jiang She had inherited the vision of a martial arts master, he couldn't find any fault with it for a while.

But his problem was that his basic skills were too solid, so much so that all his moves after the horse stance had become muscle memory.

"Young Master Sun, let me ask you this: once you've set up camp at Siping, how will you react if you encounter an opponent?"

Upon hearing this question, Xiao Sun didn't even blink: "Naturally, when the enemy is directly in front, I push off the ground with both legs and throw a punch; when the enemy attacks my lower body, I raise my knee and change my move, taking a crouching stance."

really!

I knew it...

Jiang She's eyes flickered slightly.

Years of honing his skills had instilled in Xiao Sun a habitual way of thinking. No matter how his moves changed, they were nothing more than a few template-like boxing styles.

This is a grave mistake.

"Sigh." Jiang She shook his head and sighed, "You've become accustomed to this way of thinking. Although your moves have changed, they're still just a few old routines. When you're fighting someone, you're most likely to expose your weaknesses. But if I were to fight you to the death, I would make sure you can't even hold your ground properly."

Ok?

Xiao Sun paused for a moment, then said, "Brother Jiang, my Siping horse is very sturdy. How could you possibly break it?"

His words were not disrespectful, but rather an affirmation of the hard work and dedication he had put in over the past twenty years.

But Jiang She grinned and said:

"Let me show you that the Siping Great Horse is only still for a moment. Although there are many follow-up moves, there is a key to it. If I do not resist or fight back, but instead lead you into a false attack, I will avoid your frontal attack and strike your flank. I will not break through your top but focus on attacking your bottom. I will use my strength to break through your stability and my agility to defeat your rigidity. I will combine my strength on one point, preventing you from using the ground to generate momentum. What will you do then?"

"this..."

Xiao Sun was stunned for a moment, unable to speak.

He only saw that Jiang She spoke with certainty and his tone was firm and unwavering, but he did not know that Jiang She's confidence was not something that a martial artist of the first rank could give him, but rather it was the "returning clouds and returning to the peaks" technique that Jiang She had copied from "The Great Use of Heaven and Earth".

Returning to the clouds and mountains is a preparatory action taken before the opponent makes a move, intended to evade attack and interrupt their attack.

This was a devastating blow to the "honest man" who usually only cared about the rules and techniques.

But at this moment, Jiang She was in a dilemma again.

He lowered his head and thought, "Three days is too short. If I were to give him a slow and indirect instruction, it would take up a lot of time. I need to find another way to make him memorize it by rote."

So he said:

"You wait here while I go and fetch pen and ink, and write down a hundred or eighty of these counterattack strategies for you to remember."
