Set a goal, and the system takes over the body.

Chapter 79 Fist Stance

In the blink of an eye, the two had exchanged more than a dozen blows on the martial arts stage, followed by a powerful collision of forces.

Qi Xiuyuan and Qin Zhi had already retreated rapidly to the rear.

"Thump thump thump thump thump thump!"

Qi Xiuyuan retreated seven steps, each step leaving a footprint on the hard bluestone ground.

The sleeves on his arms were torn apart by the force of the blows, revealing his arms with bulging veins.

A surge of dark energy flowed into his arm, chilling him to the bone, like a venomous snake crawling into his meridians from his palm and then slithering up his arm.

But soon, that hidden force was quickly neutralized by the Five Animals Stance.

The tiger-like explosive force and the bear-like solidity alternated in the two fist techniques, crushing and forcing out that chilling energy.

Qin Zhi was also in a bad situation and retreated in large steps.

His steps were heavier than Qi Xiuyuan's, each step causing the platform to vibrate and pebbles to fly out from the cracks. Finally, he took a step back, his soles sinking deep into the bluestone slab, causing the ground to crack, before he regained his balance.

"Hahaha—that was exhilarating! It's been a long time since I've encountered an opponent who could make me go all out. Let's go again!"

Qin Zhi laughed loudly, pushed off the ground with both feet, and charged towards Qi Xiuyuan again.

Qi Xiuyuan shook his right hand, and the Five Animal Frolics technique dispersed all the residual hidden force in his arm. Then he used the Deer Form technique, and with a series of steps, he nimbly rushed forward.

As the two drew near, he transformed from deer to ape, his body suddenly shrinking and lowering. With a drunken gait, he staggered to the side, dodging Qin Zhi's fierce punch.

The fist whistled past his ear, the force of the blow making his earlobe sting.

His ape fist strikes directly at the opponent's ribs from a tricky angle, with his five fingers slightly bent and knuckles protruding, like the claws of a monkey hooking onto a branch when climbing.

Before the fist even arrived, the knuckles cracked repeatedly, the joints making a snapping sound as the force was poured in.

The monkey's cry is powerful!

The striking technique in the Ape Form specifically targets acupoints, penetrating deep into the body.

If this punch lands, the force can penetrate the skin and flesh and strike the internal organs directly.

Qin Zhi looked burly and clumsy, but his movements were quite agile.

His reaction was also incredibly fast. As his right fist missed, his left elbow slammed down, the tip of his elbow drawing a sharp attack, like a hammer striking down, precisely smashing away Qi Xiuyuan's ape fist.

Then, he turned around and swung his arm, twisting his waist and abdomen, the force traveling from his waist to his shoulder and then to his arm.

The thick arm, like a steel whip lashed out with great force, slammed down on Qi Xiuyuan's back with a whistling wind, and a muffled hum could even be heard in the air.

That's the sound of air being compressed when an arm is swung.

Qi Xiuyuan used his Ape Fist to turn, then lowered his body and spun around, sliding past Qin Zhi's waist and striking out with the Divine Finger.

but.

The steel whip-like arm swept in a step faster than him, giving him no chance to land a single finger strike. He could only retract his attack and twist his body to dodge.

The arm swept across his scalp, the resulting gust of wind hitting his face like a knife.

If it were an ordinary martial artist, they would definitely be able to feel that visceral force.

Qi Xiuyuan has already mastered the basics of the Horizontal Body Technique, and even the skin on his face has begun to show signs of resistance.

This bit of visceral force was nothing more than a gentle breeze to him.

next moment.

Before Qi Xiuyuan could turn away, Qin Zhi's other fist had already struck.

That was a series of punches hidden behind the previous move.

The timing of his punches was extremely precise.

Qi Xiuyuan used the Spirit Deer Step technique, his steps were as fast as a sudden rain, and his body changed direction three times in a row, but he was still half a beat too slow.

Qin Zhi seemed to have anticipated his evasive maneuver.

His fist merely grazed Qi Xiuyuan's shoulder, yet the force of the punch tore a hole in his clothes.

Although most of the punch's force was neutralized by the Horizontal Bodyguard, hitting the shoulder felt like being grazed by a stone—a little painful, but not much.

However, the perfect hidden force had already invaded when it was rubbed, forming a cold and icy energy that penetrated directly into the meridians.

Qi Xiuyuan stepped back, slipped, and created a distance of half a zhang.

The right arm that was grazed jerked violently, and the muscles in the shoulder twitched suddenly from the impact.

Tiger roars!

This was originally a shoulder-leaning technique, a close-quarters combat skill from the Tiger Form of the Five Animal Fist, used to bump into or lean against someone. Now, it was thrown out directly into the air, causing the muscles and fascia in the shoulder to vibrate rapidly in an instant. With the support of the Five Animal Fist stance, it directly dissipated the hidden force that had invaded the shoulder.

"That's—a fist technique!"

An elderly man with white hair, at the Minggu Realm, suddenly stood up from his chair, his eyes wide like copper bells.

"It's a fist stance?!"

"No mistake, it's the fist technique!!"

All the experts at the Minggu Realm were taken aback.

The Five Animal Frolics that Qi Xiuyuan used before were all too subtle, hidden in the flow of the moves, and were not as clear as the move just now.

The tiger strikes in mid-air, its force reverberating.

This is not about using techniques to strike, but about using momentum to drive force, allowing the force to be effective even without physical contact.

Therefore, they had not been able to clearly perceive it before.

But just now...

They clearly recognized that Qi Xiuyuan had actually mastered the fist technique!

He mastered the fist techniques at the early stage of the Inner Strength Realm, which means that his understanding of martial arts has far surpassed his peers and even some masters in the Bone-Ringing Realm.

The techniques of boxing cannot be learned through arduous practice alone.

It requires a kind of inexplicable understanding.

What is meant by "momentum"?

It is when one uses martial arts, one's blood and energy reach their peak, resonating with one's own martial arts, thus forming a powerful force.

That's not just a simple accumulation of power.

It is a deeper level of integration.

It is the unity of man and martial arts, the unity of strength and will, and the unity of mind and body!

Momentum!

It can comprehensively enhance the power of martial arts and also create a special power resonance.

The same move can be twice as powerful with or without the added momentum!

Fist techniques have fist stances, palm techniques have palm stances, sword techniques have sword stances, and knife techniques have knife stances.

Different martial arts are like different people, each with its own temperament and style.

The fist is powerful and domineering, the palm is solid and deep, the sword is sharp and piercing, and the knife is unrestrained and bold. Each style has its own unique characteristics.

Circumstances also have commonalities.

That is a significant enhancement to martial arts!

Regardless of the specific technique, once mastered, it can elevate the power of a martial art to a whole new level.

This is why martial artists who have mastered the power of momentum can often dominate their opponents in the same realm.

They are no longer fighting with mere techniques, but with a higher level of understanding and skill.

Just now.

Qi Xiuyuan relied on the Five Animal Frolics to dissipate Qin Zhi's hidden strength.

That chilling, bone-deep internal energy of the Perfected Realm would have long since seeped into the internal organs of any other early-stage Inner Strength Realm martial artist, causing them to suffer internal injuries and vomit blood.

But Qi Xiuyuan forcefully used his momentum to expel this force from his body.
