Martial arts mastery? But I'm just a spoiled brat!

In fact, at the beginning, even Steward Cao didn't know how talented Yan Qing was.

Yan Qing initially started practicing martial arts because of his weak physique, and his practice was mainly for health maintenance. Therefore, when teaching him, we focused on Yan Qing's interests and did not consider how much he could achieve in the future.

Unexpectedly, Yan Qing was able to display astonishing talent after cultivating.

"A martial arts immortal?"

After reading both intelligence reports, Yan Qing understood why Gong Ruomei had reacted that way today.

However, Yan Qing did not find it difficult. On the contrary, his interest grew even stronger. He might lack confidence in his own intelligence, but he was full of confidence in his "talent: Martial Arts Proficiency!"

At the same time, he was also glad that he had waited for this period of time. If he was going to practice, he should practice the best techniques and set the highest goal. Otherwise, how could he do justice to his talent?

"By the way, send as many people as possible to gather information about the tiger, and then arrange reliable personnel to hunt the tiger with Shao Mu."

After handing the intelligence back to Wanxing, Yan Qing didn't forget to give her a reminder.

Today's tiger blood wine also gave Yan Qing quite a few surprises.

Now, his progress in cultivating Ming Jin alone has been negligible, but he never expected that the tiger blood wine would bring him such a pleasant surprise.

Since that's the case, we should take it even better; the sooner we improve, the better.

"yes!"

Wanxing accepted the order and left.

Only then did Yan Qing relax, and then quickly walked towards the room next door with Lan Yue in his hand.

『External Three Harmonies: Hands and Feet in Harmony 490/500』

At this moment, he was only one step away from the limit of Ming Jin. Since he would start cultivating An Jin tomorrow, he should also cultivate Ming Jin to its limit.

……

The next morning, when Gong Ruomei and Jiang Shi arrived at the courtyard, Yan Qing was already waiting there.

"Mr. Gong, how about we have a drink to invigorate our blood and energy before we begin?"

Upon seeing Gong Ruomei, Yan Qing brought out two bowls of tiger blood wine and drank one of them in one gulp himself.

"good!"

Gong Ruomei had already experienced the benefits of this wine yesterday, so she did not refuse and picked up another bowl and drank it down in one gulp.

"Mr. Gong, please enlighten me!"

After Gong Ruomei drank the wine, Yan Qing, who was standing not far away, gestured for her to enter, and then his body began to change.

Yan Qing stood with his feet apart in a horse stance, his knees bent, seemingly sitting but not quite, his weight resting between his legs.

Both hands are clenched into open fists, with the right hand raised and placed on the right cheek, elbow pointing forward and aimed at Gong Ruomei, while the left hand is placed in front of the chest, elbow pointing backward.

As Yan Qing's movements changed, there were also obvious changes in his appearance. If Yan Qing was lazy and listless before, then as his movements changed, his eyes began to brighten, and even his breathing became stronger and more steady.

Yan Qing's starting stance has a strong Bajiquan characteristic, because it is the most basic Liangyi stance in Bajiquan. Moreover, if you use Liangyi stance as your starting stance, you have basically told your opponent that your next move will definitely be an elbow strike.

Bajiquan has many killing moves, such as "Tiger Climbing the Mountain", "Standing Cannon to Heaven" or "King Yama's Three Nods". These killing moves are usually improvised and do not have a specific starting position.

If one starts with the Two Forms Stance, then the attack must be an elbow strike. At this moment, Yan Qing's feet are forward and backward, which almost clearly indicates that his next move will be the Top Heart Elbow from Bajiquan.

This move is arguably the most representative of the fierce and powerful style of Bajiquan.

Many people don't understand why Bajiquan is known for its fierce and powerful style. After all, not all of Bajiquan's moves are fierce and powerful. Other martial arts, such as Xingyiquan and Taijiquan, also have fierce and powerful techniques or fighting methods. Yet, Bajiquan has become the most fierce and powerful representative.

This is actually related to its unique playing style.

Bajiquan is considered the most powerful because every move is direct and straightforward, striking in a straight line with no possibility of detours or retreats.

Based on conviction, one must possess an indomitable spirit, which is why this style of boxing is considered the most powerful.

However, after seeing Yan Qing's Two-Element Stance, Gong Ruomei was not too cautious. She simply stretched out one hand and used Cloud Hand to draw the opponent away. This was a gesture of yielding, allowing Yan Qing to attack at will, and also a posture of only defending and not attacking.

This wasn't disdain, but confidence—confidence in her own level and ability.

Seeing Gong Ruomei in this state, Yan Qing did not hesitate. He began to exert force with his feet, and his originally restrained energy and spirit exploded in an instant. His whole body was like a long spear, with his elbow as the spearhead and his body as the spear shaft, and he rushed straight towards Gong Ruomei.

"Bang!!"

Where Yan Qing had stood, the blue bricks beneath his feet shattered instantly.

On the surface, Yan Qing's move appears to be the "top elbow" of Bajiquan, but in essence, it is a combination of Xingyiquan and Bajiquan. It represents the highest level of his own cultivation and the peak strength of Mingjin.

The two were only three steps apart, and Yan Qing's move was so fast and urgent that his elbow was already aimed straight at the opponent's chest almost as soon as the bricks broke.

Gong Ruomei narrowed her eyes, twisted her wrist, and turned her outstretched hand to protect her chest, intending to block Yan Qing's elbow strike to the heart with a single palm.

*Smack!*

But when her palm met Yan Qing's elbow, Gong Ruomei's expression changed. She then stepped to the left, turned her body to the side, and used her hand to pull Yan Qing past her.

Yan Qing felt his elbow being struck by a force, which reduced his forward momentum by 70%. Then, he was pressed down, which completely neutralized his own force.

"Dissolving Force!"

"Such a powerful Ming Jin!!"

The two bodies passed each other. Gong Ruomei did not pursue, and Yan Qing did not use any follow-up moves to attack, but both of them were amazed at the same time.

Yan Qing was amazed that when the opponent struck his elbow, she used both hidden force and neutral force, which meant that Gong Ruomei's level was definitely at the neutral force level.

Considering the other party's age, he should be around twenty-five years old at this time, but he is already a martial artist who has reached the Transformation Realm. At such an age and with such a level, he has entered the Transformation Realm at least three years earlier than the true disciple of the Tianjin Xingyi School mentioned in the intelligence.

Gong Ruomei was amazed by the strength of Yan Qing's Ming Jin. Although she was a woman and had a natural disadvantage in terms of strength, she had an advantage in terms of understanding the transformation of force.

Originally, she thought she could neutralize Yan Qing's Ming Jin attack with one hand. Even if she was lacking in Ming Jin, with the addition of An Jin, she would definitely be able to block the opponent.

But in the end, she used her internal energy neutralization technique at the last moment to neutralize all of her opponent's force.
