Xiang Chen had never felt like this at this time.

In the past, relying on the super martial arts Bajiquan, coupled with his incomparably solid foundation and sense of battle, leapfrogging battles was simply commonplace for Xiang Chen.

But today, he seems to have exchanged roles with his previous self, Shi Hongfu's five-star initial entry was obviously only two small realms higher than him, but Xiang Chen was so suppressed that he couldn't breathe.

"The emperor nine steps, the willows are fluttering!"

Less than a minute after the battle began, Xiang Chen was forced out of Liu Piaoyao, his waist was weak and boneless, after Shi Hongfu smashed it with a split punch, borrowing the fist wind, Xiang Chen narrowly avoided it.

Surprise flashed in Shi Hongfu's eyes, but he didn't feel flustered, and his fist turned into a palm to the ground, and his body was reversed, and he was in an upside-down posture of supporting the ground with one hand.

At the same time, the right leg under the loose trouser leg is thrown out like a steel whip.

Syllable! Abnormal noise reproduction.

"Not good!" Xiang Chen hurriedly curled up, his left arm across his waist.

Boom!

With a muffled sound, Xiang Chen was swept by a kick in the state of willow fluttering, but fortunately, Xiang Chen reacted in time and resisted with his arm, otherwise if this kick really hit his waist and eyes, Xiang Chen's next flexibility would inevitably be affected.

Liu Piaoyao was broken, causing an uproar at the scene, and this unknown trick was also rated by the majority of martial arts enthusiasts as the most bizarre move in this freshman competition.

But Shi Hongfu simply broke it with a horizontal pump!

It's a coincidence!

Liu Piaoyao's move is indeed very limited, it is only suitable for dealing with top-down slashing, or straight punches, straight stabs and other types of attacks, if this is the case, it is generally attacked by the opponent horizontally in the waist, and Xiang Chen cannot fly directly with Liu Piaoyao.

But his previous opponents have faced this move in a panic, and in such a situation, few people can make such a sharp judgment.

But looking at Shi Hongfu's emotionless eyes, Xiang Chen knew that there was no turmoil in his heart at all.

"What a stable heart!" Xiang Chen said darkly.

At this time, Shi Hongfu exerted force with his palm, turned back to a standing position, bent his legs slightly, stuck to Xiang Chen, and his arms were punched out again in a strange posture.

One move fell into the downwind, and the move suffered a loss, Shi Hongfu wanted to defeat Xiang Chen in one fell swoop, but Xiang Chen was eager to distance himself and move later.

"Three said, empty feet!"

Xiang Chen snorted, and slammed the tip of his left foot into the ground between the two.

Rumble!

It was as if a ball of explosives exploded from the soles of his feet, not only knocking out a pit in the ring between the two, but the impact of the explosion made Xiang Chen retreat quickly.

And Shi Hongfu, who wanted to attack, was also affected by the impact, not only was his steps stopped, but he also withdrew four or five steps in a row.

was escaped by Xiang Chen, and he was no longer in a hurry to pursue, and after stabilizing his figure, he said playfully: "This is the method of moving in the air that you used in the last game?" It's funny, it's still used like this. ”

This is the second use of Dijiang's nine steps on the third step of the empty feet, opening up space!

Compared with Shi Hongfu's relaxed freehand, Xiang Chen's face was a little ugly, and sweat was oozing from his forehead.

“…… Why? Are you using, ordinary martial arts through back punches? Although he knew that it was a bit embarrassing to say such a thing, Xiang Chen couldn't help but speak.

It was really a shock in his heart.

If Shi Hongfu really used all kinds of gorgeous super martial arts to suppress his Baji Fist, Xiang Chen would not be so frightened, but through the back fist?

Xiang Chen couldn't understand it.

Not only Xiang Chen, hearing him ask this question, all the martial artists in the audience, including Xu Xian, pricked up their ears.

"Ordinary martial arts? Hahaha! Shi Hongfu laughed.

It's just that this kind of laughter with his zombie face is really weird.

"How about top-level martial arts? What about Super Martial Arts? You're just a bunch of poor bastards who stand guard at the door of the treasure and can't get in! Shi Hongfu's voice spread far away, and he did not hide the disdain in his voice at all.

Looking at the doubts in Xiang Chen's eyes, he continued: "The five realms of martial arts, haven't you heard of it? ”

"The Five Great Realms?" Xiang Chen was thoughtful.

He vaguely remembered a conversation with Cangdian before he went to Kunming.

…………

"Old, I feel like I've been practicing boxing for a long time or what, as if I've suddenly become smarter between my fists and feet. Obviously, the physical fitness and true qi have not changed, but I feel that the moves are more powerful. After a practice, Xiang Chen said to Cangdian.

"Oh? You punch a set of punches and show me. Cangdian replied.

Soon, Xiang Chen beat the whole set of boxing techniques of Bajiquan.

"Well, sure enough, your martial arts realm has improved." Cangdian praised.

"Martial arts realm?"

"Of course, martial arts has a realm, a master who has practiced boxing for 80 years, and a rookie who has practiced for three days, but everything else is the same, you say, who is better in these two people?"

"Of course, the master." Xiang Chendao.

"Yes, this is the realm of martial arts." Cang Dian recalled, "I have read the records in the dragon's belly, and now, the realm of martial arts is divided into five layers, which are the threshold of the first entry, the integration of knowledge, the cultivation of martial arts, the change of will, and the great freedom. ”

Xiang Chen listened to it for a while, obviously he didn't expect that there would be so many twists and turns in a boxing practice.

Fortunately, there is Cangdian, a martial arts encyclopedia, to explain for him.

"When you first enter the threshold, you are an ordinary beginner, who has practiced boxing for a few months, and has basically practiced various moves in martial arts, and can be regarded as a user of this martial arts.

After a period of polishing, I am fully familiar with each move and style, have a deep understanding of some of the moves, form a physical memory, and can be combined and changed at will in the battle, and play the most appropriate moves, rather than always thinking about those power skills and true qi routes when I first entered the threshold. ”

As he spoke, he paused and said, "Ordinary people have to be a year younger than anyone from the beginning of the threshold to the integration of knowledge. I didn't expect you kid to reach the threshold of comprehension so quickly, you do have a good understanding, I think you can completely stabilize in this realm after a period of actual combat and cultivation. ”

"And then? How long will it take to get to the next level? Another month? Two months? Xiang Chen heard Cangdian praise himself, and said excitedly.

"Stop dreaming." Cang Dian sneered, "After comprehending it, it is to refine martial arts into the marrow, as the name suggests, it is to imprint martial arts into the deepest part of your bones and understand the true meaning of martial arts." This realm is fundamentally different from the integration of knowledge, which not only requires diligence and understanding, but also the accumulation of time.

The so-called book is read a hundred times, and its meaning is self-evident, and the same is true of martial arts. Xiao Xiangchen, do you want to practice martial arts? It will take a few months to stabilize the integration, and then prepare for a long-term struggle with Bajiquan, I estimate that ten years of penance is estimated to be about the same. ”

"Ah......" Xiang Chen's face immediately collapsed, but Xiang Chen was still a teenager at that time, so he quickly put it behind him and continued to ask: "Then what?" What about the last two realms? ”

"The fourth layer is called Change at will, because everyone's true qi is different and their physique is different, so find the most suitable state for yourself, in order to exert all your strength. When you understand the true meaning of martial arts, you can integrate your own understanding, no longer stick to moves, do whatever you want when fighting, and even make changes to martial arts itself, even if you can change as you like.

This layer is no longer a grind of time, but a test of understanding. People who have realized it may practice and feel uncomfortable with their previous martial arts, and they subconsciously make adjustments, and they will step into the change at will. Stupid, I have been stuck in practicing martial arts all my life, and there are many people.

Most of those ten-star martial artists are actually stuck in martial arts training. ”

Xiang Chen listened with relish, and was about to hear what the fifth layer was, but found that Cangdian was no longer talking.

"Old, what about another layer? Fifth floor! ”

"Fifth Floor...... It's called great freedom. Cang Dian sighed lightly, but did not explain in detail, but said: "Xiao Xiangchen, I will say two words to you, you must write it down." ”

Xiang Chen listened.

"First, the cultivation of the martial arts realm cannot be forced, your comprehension is good, as long as you practice the Eight Extremes Fist at all times with the cultivation of true qi, the realm will naturally go up.

Second, if one day you cultivate to the point where you can change as you like, don't continue, absolutely, absolutely don't move towards great freedom! Remember, remember! ”

Since Cang Dian chatted with Xiang Chen once that day, he never mentioned the matter of the martial arts realm, nor did he explain why he did not let Xiang Chen challenge the highest realm of martial arts.

First, he felt that it was still far away, and second, if there really was that day, he would have stopped it in time.

Who would have thought that the Kunming incident happened later, which led to Cangdian's deep sleep.
