In the anime, their emotions can be combined into strange props

Does it take a year?

Or two years, three years, or four years?

Even if it takes him three years, it would take him twelve years to master the four major techniques of Erhuliu.

Then what about the mixed skills of using the four major types in conjunction with each other? How many years will it take to master them?

After that, how many years will it take to reach the ultimate skill of Erhuliu, Ghost Ao, which is achieved by integrating and sublimating all four major types?

Precisely because it is too comprehensive, to the point of being extremely complicated, Erhuliu, which seems to be something that anyone can do, actually requires talent, genius-like talent!

——This thing is not for ordinary people without talent to practice.

Only a monster like the Ten Ghost Snake King Horse could complete the Erhu Liu training process at the age of ten or so, which would take an ordinary person countless decades to complete.

Just like the founder of Erhuliu, Wowangwujiao, he also accepted a large number of disciples and passed on Erhuliu to them without reservation. How many dozens of disciples were there?

Or hundreds?

several hundred?

But the final result was that seven people graduated from the Erhu School and became the [Ten Demon Snakes and Two Tigers].

What about those things that failed to become the Ten Ghost Snakes and Two Tigers?

He could only throw it into an unknown underground like garbage, and slowly rot into bones.

However, even with this Erhu style, Xia Yan learned the skill in just a "moment" when the skill level was only +1.

He has already learned most of the moves!

Chapter 14: The Power of Hibiki

Acquisition does not mean proficiency, nor does it mean mastery.

Therefore, when Xia Yan's Erhuliu skill was +1, he could only barely use some of the moves.

When the skill reached +2, in addition to a few new moves of Erhuliu emerging in Xia Yan's mind, the greater improvement was engraved in his muscle memory, and the proficiency and accuracy of the moves were deepened.

How big of a difference will there be when people with different levels of experience use the same skill?

This can be clearly seen by looking at the Ten Demon Snake King Horse.

It's not just about linking moves, but also about timing and move selection. Even the most direct strength competition will be greatly affected.

After recovering a little bit of his normal state, Juukouma threw a punch with a result that even surprised himself: in front of a huge rock, he punched a hole more than two meters in size on it, and almost completely shattered the huge rock that was more than four meters high!

But that was just his ordinary basic attack of breaking iron!

The gap is not only in personal strength, but also in the application of techniques.

"Zou Liuyuan and Senior Xia are truly amazing."

Just as Xia Yan finished sorting out the gains from his Erhuliu training and was about to continue using the newly synthesized props, Sakura Hibiki, who had already finished a round of bench presses during this period, sat down on the bench next to him, panting slightly, and sighed in a somewhat depressed tone:

"The weight of the bench press was at least twice my weight, but I couldn't even complete three sets of 20kg."

"That's not the case."

The person who spoke out to comfort him was not Xia Yan who was sitting next to him, but Jie Xiongmingzao who walked over with a bright smile.

He then leaned down slightly in front of Sakura Hibiki and Xia Yan, casting a large shadow as he spoke: "No one is born strong. Everyone is a beginner at first. From now on, we just need to work together to catch up."

Upon hearing this, Sakura Hibiki's face showed a hint of emotion... and 99% regret.

"Coach Jie Xiong, I think it would be more comforting if you put on your clothes before you say this." Xia Yan, who was looking at the panel, couldn't help but be diverted a little.

He just glanced at the exaggerated pectoral muscles that were bigger than his head and were less than 50 centimeters away from him, and couldn't help but complain about it on behalf of Sakura Hibiki next to him.

"Yeah!" Sakura Hibiki nodded repeatedly with emotion and contributed:

[Emotional fragment: Sakura Hibiki deeply sympathizes]

"Let's not talk about this for now."

Jie Xiongmingzao straightened his sturdy body unaffected, and even clenched his fists and put his hands on his hips, striking a bodybuilding pose that stretched his lats. "Hmm! Xia Yan, would you like to try the boxing training in our gym?"

"Oh?"

Xia Yan was genuinely surprised this time. He picked up the floating debris without any interruption and asked, "Coach, do you still offer combat classes here?"

"Of course. After all, we have quite a few fighter members here, so there are not only various facilities over there, but also professional trainers. Do you want to go and take a look?"

Xia Yan thought about it, glanced at the new props on the panel, and replied: "Then let's go and take a look."

As he spoke, Xia Yan, along with Sakura Hibiki who was quite interested next to him, and Zou Ryuin Jumei who was blushing and making ominous noises like "Ha~?? Ha~, my pectoral muscles, triceps and deltoids are all groaning~", all followed over.

Silver Gym, 8th floor.

"Hehe! Not bad, punch faster!"

"Hmm~"

After walking out of the elevator, Xia Yan and Sakura Xiang next to him felt that as expected, the place was still bustling with activity, with sweat and the smell of muscular men.

However, on this floor, apart from a few people doing independent exercises such as skipping rope and dragon flag, most people were practicing boxing in front of the hanging sandbags, and practicing fighting on a simple ring surrounded by ropes.

On the ring, one can indeed see some sparring partners wearing boxing rings, shouting and blocking the attacks of the fighters in front of them.

"As you can see, we have a fighting ring here. Besides providing sparring partners for training, we also sometimes hold some relaxed practice matches. We can also invite acquaintances to come up and spar with each other."

As if noticing Xia Yan's gaze towards the arena, Jie Xiongmingzao patiently explained, "Of course, these are limited to brief exchanges. If anyone insists on a formal match with a winner, they'll have to sign a waiver."

"So you want to go up and try it?"

"no need."

Xia Yan shook his head. His goal was clear: "It's a little late today, I'll just try hitting the sandbag."

"Alright."

Jie Xiongming took out a pair of brand new boxing gloves from the side and put them on Xia Yan. He also asked, "By the way, Xia Yan, I see that you have a wound on your hand. Is that okay?"

"It's okay, just a minor scrape."

Xia Yan replied casually, and after clenching his gloved hands awkwardly, he stood in front of an unused black sandbag.

Sakura Hibiki, who was standing behind, seemed to be affected as well. She was even more nervous than Xia Yan himself, clenching her fists in front of her, as if to cheer him up.

Immediately, Xia Yan took a deep breath to adjust his state and began to accumulate strength.

The force starts from the ground, passes through the legs, twists the spine, then lifts the shoulders, stretches the right arm backward, and finally tightens and hardens the muscles, and a big swing punch is violently thrown out!

Diamond Form: Iron Shattering!

"boom!"

The sandbag was first hit with an obvious circular dent in an instant, and then it flew high in an instant, and the iron chain hanging the sandbag was stretched into a straight line!

...Then under the acceleration of gravity, it falls back down.

Xia Yan's eyelids twitched, and he suddenly discovered that the talent of a certain dark-skinned hottie seemed, might... maybe even more terrifying than he had imagined.

You have to know that when Sakura Hibiki first showed her talent, she had just started fitness and had no skills, let alone relying entirely on talent.

However, even so, she broke the iron chain of the sandbag with one punch.

However, Xia Yan relied on the Erhu Style that had just been upgraded to +2. Even with his full skills and a punch of almost full strength, he was still unable to do this.

At this moment, he deeply realized the value of the name "Hibiki" and felt sincerely gratified for his choice to come here to contact Sakura Hibiki.

[Talent: Hibiki Power (White) +2]

add a bit!

Chapter 15: I live in Beihua Town, come if I am ordered to.

From the weight that Sakura Hibiki had bench pressed before, it can be seen that in terms of conventional strength - that is, muscle endurance, she is actually not much better than ordinary girls.

Therefore, the source of her innate terrifying power comes from:

Muscle explosiveness!

The meaning of this term refers to the maximum tension that can be generated by rapid muscle contraction in the shortest time.

That is, the force that muscles can burst out in an instant.

And Sakura Hibiki's talent in this area is particularly outstanding...or you could say she is another natural monster who tramples "science" under her feet!

Therefore, the [Power of the Hilarious Demon] she produced also enhanced her talent in [Instantaneous Explosive Power of the Body].

As Xia Yan clicked on the tool, he suddenly felt a warm current flowing through his body.

Especially the muscle groups of the body, there is a comfortable feeling like soaking in a hot spring.

He then used another new item: [Basic: Muscle Strengthening (White) +1].

This item should be made up of the fragments of Zouyuan Zhumei, the muscle-obsessed young lady.

If it worked, it should be the strengthening of her physical strength that was very consistent with her characteristics. However, perhaps because Xia Yan's physical fitness already had a good foundation, he only felt a slight warm current flowing through him.

According to the data, it is probably just that the muscles have been strengthened by about ten kilograms.

After doing all this, Xia Yan recovered from his appearance of lowering his head and raising his fists, as if he was sorting out his experience and adjusting his state after a tentative punch, and he took up his stance again.

Gathering strength, the muscles in his arms, legs and back began to bulge out into clear outlines beneath the thin school uniform.

He planned to use the same trick this time.

"boom!"

Diamond Form: Iron Shattering!

The same punch with tensed muscles hit the black sandbag, but Xia Yan's punch was obviously different from the last time. The originally cylindrical sandbag was instantly beaten into a terrifying bow shape and thrown out!

"Tear!"

The tear-resistant PU leather with a black coating on the outside was suddenly torn apart, making the entire sandbag look like it was blown up in mid-air, and sand splashed out in all directions.

“…Wow!”

"Mr. Jie Xiong! I wonder who this young man is?!"

"I haven't seen this face before. Is he a new member, or a master from the branch or somewhere else?!"

"Sir, are you interested in joining the Glory Boxing Gym?!"

It seems that the visual impact of exploding a sandbag is quite strong. The people around who directly or indirectly witnessed this scene were so shocked that the entire eighth floor of the Silver Gym fell into a brief silence.

The surrounding fighting enthusiasts, fighting players, and even the boxing gym staff who were very interested in poaching people, all gathered around Jie Xiongmingzao and asked about Xia Yan's situation.

"Oh~"

Sakura Hibiki, who had been nervously watching his performance from behind, also opened her cherry lips slightly, clapped her hands in front of her with a look of amazement, "Senior Xia, that was an amazing punch!"

No, no, no, how dare I receive such praise from you, grandma? I can’t do that!

After trying his best and even adding an extra cheat, Xia Yan still failed to shake the chain holding the sandbag. He could only barely break the sandbag itself. Upon hearing Sakura Hibiki's praise, he took off his boxing gloves with shame on his face... and began to happily pick up the fragments.

[Fragment: Sakura Hibiki's exclamation]

[Emotional Fragments: Zou Ryuin Akemi's Reluctance]

Oh?

Looking at one of the unexpected fragments, Xia Yan raised his eyebrows in surprise, and his eyes glanced at Zou Ryuin Shumi, who was standing next to Sakura Hibiki, with an expression that was indeed a little unwilling.

"Gu~ I have to admit, although this guy is extremely suspicious, his muscles are innocent. They are extremely excellent muscles!" - Xia Yan felt that he could guess what she was thinking at this moment.

"Senior! Blood, blood!"

Just as Xia Yan was distractedly looking at Zou Ryuin Shumei, he suddenly heard Sakura Hibiki's voice change from exclamation to panic.

At first, Xia Yan didn't react to what happened. Later, he followed the direction pointed by Sakura Xiang's panicked fingertips, and he noticed the red bandage on the top of his right fist - in fact, the wound was just slightly torn.
