Chapter 573 Evaluating the Grand Master of Parrying

Chapter 580 Three Evaluating the Great Master of Parrying

Before going up the mountain, Fang Jie sent people to search all the places at the foot of Mingjiao Mountain again. It is not a bad thing to be cautious. After confirming that there are indeed only his group left at the foot of the mountain, Fang Jie led the people to go slowly. Headed up the mountain, and before that, the joint team of Hu and Miao had already arrived at the Mingjiao Raging Fire Flag Memorial Archway to replace the Shaolin Temple that had just been wiped out by the army, so Fang Jie didn't encounter any obstacles on the way up the mountain, and he felt very relaxed going up the mountain.

Coming to Xuantian Cliff, Fang Jie, who revisited his old place, was not in the mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery of Kunlun Mountain, nor did he recall too much the scene when he met Huo Shan here, so he simply asked Huo Shan to send a message. Parry Grand Master's application.

Now, Huo Shan didn't regard Fang Jie, who was already half a grand master, as a little brat back then to drive off Xuantianya, but exchanged a few polite words before getting to the point: "Since you are already a grand master of boxing and kicking, It's not difficult to evaluate a parry master. However, I want to ask you, what basic requirements do you think a parry master should have?"

After Fang Jie thought for a while, he simply replied, "It should be strength and speed."

Huo Shan nodded slightly, then shook his head again, and said, "You're only half right. Strength and speed are the foundations of martial arts, but there is another basic quality—internal force!"

After a pause, Huo Shan said again: "If you want to parry a person's attack, you must first meet certain requirements in terms of strength, otherwise, the opponent can directly penetrate your parry defense, and secondly, you must keep up with the speed, otherwise even if you No matter how strong you are, it is too late to block your moves. But the most important thing is internal strength, because even if your speed and strength meet the requirements and you can parry the opponent's attack, but the opponent's internal strength is higher than yours, you can still It can cause serious injuries to you or even instantly kill you. Therefore, evaluating a master of parry is actually evaluating a master of internal strength, and the two are one."

Seeing Fang Jie nodded, Huo Shan took a careful look at him and said in confusion, "Since you are already a master of boxing and kicking, your strength and speed should have met the requirements, but why didn't that old man Huang Chang improve your innate arm strength?" What? You know, after becoming a boxing master, one point of innate arm strength will be rewarded."

"Huh?" Fang Jie couldn't help being stunned. He really didn't know this setting. He remembered that Huo Shan said that each innate attribute would increase by 1 point after completing the Grand Master evaluation. He thought at that time that all the evaluations would be successful. , Thinking about it now, he wondered if Huang Chang deliberately forgot about it to avenge his personal revenge, but he thought it was unlikely.

Before he could figure out why, Huo Shan pointed at a distance, and a red light sank into his body, and then he received a reminder from the system.

System prompt: Since you have completed the evaluation of the master of boxing and kicking, your innate arm strength has increased by 1 point.

"Okay, your innate arm strength has been added to you, now let's talk about something serious." After rewarding Fang Jie, Huo Shan smiled nonchalantly, and continued: "Parring skills, there are three levels of low, medium, and high. Correspondingly, to evaluate a master of parry or a master of internal strength, one must pass three tests... I'd better demonstrate it to you, and now you use your best kung fu to attack me."

Fang Jie nodded, without further ado, immediately unleashed the 64-style Taizu Long Fist, and his internal strength was increased to about [-]%, and he started punching and kicking around Huoshan, and saw that the hanging cliff was filled with true energy, and figures flew around , the muffled sound of fists and kicks continued to sound, while Huo Shan still remained calm, with one hand behind his back, the other hand twisted and twisted, swinging forward and backward, flying up and down, understatement It seemed to block Fang Jie's every punch that could kill almost any player in seconds.

At this moment, Huo Shan was demonstrating parrying, and said in a calm voice: "The lowest state of parrying kung fu lies in the word 'stroke', which means parrying, blocking, and blocking. The opponent's move Come here, you have to be able to block it, you can block it, so the first test is a test of strength, speed and internal strength. Since you are already a master of boxing and kicking, this test can be regarded as a direct pass."

"Keep attacking, don't stop." Seeing that Fang Jie seemed to stop, Huo Shan quickly stopped him and continued: "The intermediate level of parrying kung fu lies in the word 'yin', which means attracting, pulling, and guiding. That is to say, when the opponent makes a move, in addition to being able to block and block it, you can also divert the opponent's moves away. To do this, in addition to the basic requirements of arm strength, speed and internal strength, You also have to learn how to use dexterity, and be able to cope with all changes with ease. If the low-level parry is compared to two adults fighting, then the intermediate level is a fight between an adult and a child. No matter how the child makes moves, the adult People are capable enough to divert their attacks away without harming the other party."

While saying these words, Huo Shan's parrying movements also changed at the same time. Every time Fang Jie's moves were killed, he was led to other places by him. Fang Jie felt the most profoundly about this point. The punch was about to hit the opponent, but he was slapped or slapped lightly by the opponent with one hand, and the opponent did not see any force. The angle of attack changed immediately, and it was fine if the fist missed the opponent. The aroused punch either hit the sky, or hit the ground, and even circled behind Huo Shan, but never even touched the corner of the opponent's clothes.

Just when Fang Jie was tongue-tied, Huo Shan's voice sounded again: "If you parry normally, the enemy punches you with all your strength. If you parry with all your strength, there is no room for counterattack. If you can make full use of your cleverness, you After parrying, you can immediately launch a counterattack while the opponent has not closed the move. In this sense, parrying is not passive to be beaten, but creating more attack opportunities for oneself."

While Huo Shan was talking, he changed his way of parrying, and whenever Fang Jie's punches were diverted away, Huo Shan would counterattack him. Although he was only lightly patted, there was no harm No damage, but the parts that were shot were either the vital points of the heart, or the fatal throat and Tianling Gai. Just imagine if Huo Shan added a little internal strength to his hands at this time, what would the result be?
The more Fang Jie fought, the more frightened he became, and Huo Shan's words kept pounding Fang Jie's soul: "The second test is the use of ingenuity. Ordinary people can't wait to use 120% of what they have learned in their lives. With a power of [-], I can't wait to use all the strength of the whole body in one move. It is necessary for the lion to fight the rabbit, but if we only stay in this brute force method, it will never be possible to break through the realm of martial arts. This second level, cleverness The use of it can only be understood by yourself, so it is difficult to have any standard, when you can distract me from a successful punch, it will be considered a pass."

At this time, Fang Jie had already withdrawn his move and stood, recalling Huo Shan's parry demonstration and what he said just now, while realizing the use of parry skills in his mind.

The ingenuity Huo Shan mentioned is actually four or two strokes of a thousand catties.

And in this process, strength is not the main factor, because no matter how powerful the enemy's moves are, as long as he slightly diverts the opponent's move trajectory, he will not be able to pose a threat to himself.

Speed ​​is not the main factor, because there is a time lag in the whole process of the opponent attacking him. From the perspective of distance, he just raises his hand to parry and distract the opponent. In terms of time and distance, the defending side has the advantage. The speed of the move is similar to that of the opponent or even a little slower, and the parry action can be completed.

As for the internal force, it is not the key factor. Since it is not a hard block, there is no need to use internal force to force the opponent. It only needs half or less internal force to draw or swing the opponent's moves from the side.

Therefore, the key factor lies in the use of ingenuity, but how to use this ingenuity?
This is a hanging thing, if the opponent makes a move, and I use my cleverness arrogantly, if I don't draw it away, wouldn't I be in a situation where there is no redemption?

After Fang Jie thought hard, he only came up with one word: Hurry up!

If you want to use ingenuity, you must have a quick eye, a quick hand, and a quick heart!
A quick eye is to quickly grasp the opponent's move route and strength, a quick hand is to have time to make a move before the opponent hits you, and a quick heart is to make a quick judgment during the whole process.

But the problem came out, let’s not talk about the question of whether the world’s martial arts is fast or not, which has been debated for a long time, just talk about if I really have this kind of speed, I’m still parrying a fart, just destroy the opponent before the opponent launches an attack. Do you still need to play parry like masochism?
After rejecting this point of view, Fang Jie continued to think hard.

If you are not quick, although you can use your defensive advantage to try to parry before the opponent's attack arrives, but how can you quickly capture the opponent's attack route and strength?If you can't capture this point, isn't it a blind move?
Thinking of this, Fang Jie thought of the Murong family's swordsmanship of fighting and turning stars. Although this martial art is called "returning one's body with the other way", it actually integrates the moves of various schools of martial arts. It is obvious that it is a stupid way to parry and counterattack in advance. At least the martial arts theoretical foundation of the Great Teleportation of the Universe does not originate from this, and Huo Shan, who was able to create the Great Teleportation of the Universe, would never say what he said earlier. That's what it means.

I remember that when I challenged Huang Chang, although the opponent defended himself tightly, judging from Huo Shan's parry theory, Huang Chang's parry realm was only at the initial stage, and he was unable to divert the attack away. To be able to parry abruptly, something that even Huang Chang didn't understand, I'm afraid it won't be realized in a short while.

Thinking of this, Fang Jie seemed to have walked into a dead end, and Huo Shan seemed to be aware of it, smiled slightly, and said suggestively: "I remember when the old man first met you, you were still a martial artist who knew nothing about special martial arts. Waste material, you have achieved such an achievement in just eight years, which is already extremely remarkable. However, the rapid progress also has the disadvantage of overpowering the seedlings... Have you rarely practiced martial arts with others in these years? That time you saw You, you are also using the old man, the number of times you actually make shots is very small, right?"

Hearing this, Fang Jie's heart was shocked, he raised his head slowly, and said: "Senior, you mean that if you want to understand the ingenuity of this parrying kung fu, you must constantly explore the skills through actual combat?"

"That's right." Huo Shan nodded: "My old guess, I'm afraid you haven't fought with others in recent years, have you? Combat experience is very important. The so-called practice makes perfect. This cannot be achieved by leveling. It must be experienced and summarized by you players yourself. Now you kill others instantly as soon as you make a move. How can you have the opportunity to experience and capture those subtleties? What about the change in moves?"

Fang Jie finally came to his senses, thinking to himself that the number of times he has actually made shots over the years is indeed very small, and even if he had the opportunity to make shots, he would kill people very domineeringly within one or two moves. That was after practicing Taizu’s Changquan move proficiency, he went to personal dungeon for a year, but that year he just went in to explore the way, found some dungeons that were easy to get through, and did not think about it at all. Experience that subtle change in battle.

"It seems that the evaluation of the great master of parry is useless this time..."

Fang Jie couldn't help sighing inwardly. He never underestimated his strength, but he never overestimated himself. He still had this self-knowledge, although according to what Huo Shan said, his arm strength, speed and internal strength met the basic requirements , but the combat experience is really unsatisfactory. In other words, he only has the attack experience of torturing people and torturing bronze men, and he has no experience in defense because he has hardly suffered a lot.

Seeing Fang Jie's mood was a little lost, Huo Shan smiled warmly and said, "Actually, you don't have to be impatient. You have to eat every bite. Now that you are ready, you just have almost practical experience. You can always solve this problem when you go back. In this way Well, since you are the first player to master boxing and kicking, and you are also a waste of martial arts, I will tell you in advance the requirements of parrying the third level of the great master, so that you can also know what to do. When you go back and get ready, come to me again .”

"Thank you!"

Although it was only an old NPC man standing in front of him, Fang Jie still felt a touch of emotion in his heart. He cupped his fists and thanked him sincerely. He remembered that during the first Huashan Sword Discussion, Huo Shan kicked him off the cliff with all eyes. Tianya, but before he left, he said again, "What can't be tolerated by others, what can't be tolerated in the world, can only be what adults can't do." Fang Jie has always kept these words in his heart. A "thank you" should have been said at that time.

Huo Shan smiled nonchalantly, waved his hands and said: "If you, a waste of martial arts, can complete the evaluation of the master, it will be the greatest gratification for this old man. If you want to thank you, just keep it and thank you later."

Having said this, Huo Shan straightened his face, and said solemnly: "The highest state of parrying kung fu lies in the word 'borrow', which means borrowing, borrowing strength, and quoting borrowing. There is a saying called borrowing strength to fight strength, which is actually this Meaning, it is also the essence of the Great Teleportation of the Universe created by the old man, of course, only when you comprehend and master the second stage of 'Introduction', can you grasp the essence of 'Borrowing'."

"Borrow?" Fang Jie frowned thoughtfully.

"That's right, it's just borrowing." Huo Shan said with a smile: "The basic level of parry is to fight with brute force, the intermediate level is to use a small amount of strength to divert the opponent's strength, and then you can launch a counterattack with ease, and the advanced level... Hehe, it is to use strength to attack strength, or in other words, repay the other with the other, borrow the strength of the other to attack the other, and we can always be invincible! You are making moves against me now... Uh, Forget it, I'm afraid I'll kill myself if you attack this little guy too hard, so I'd better keep talking."

Huo Shan smiled, and after making a cold joke, he continued: "This advanced level is actually the sublimation of the intermediate level. Think about it, since I can direct the enemy's attack to other places, why can't I direct the enemy's attack to the enemy himself?" Go or go to other people around? There is a saying that goes when the boom goes down, and everything goes against the extreme. When the opponent punches, I can block it when the punch is getting stronger, or I can use my strength to attract it when the punch is the strongest. Open, you can also use ingenuity to completely change the opponent's attack route at the moment when the opponent's strength is exhausted but not exhausted, and the attack will be directed back to the opponent himself."

"Extreme prosperity and decline, things must be reversed?" Fang Jie was stunned, thinking that the artistic conception of the Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms is quite similar, and Fang Jie suddenly realized that no matter it is the world's most majestic or yang Martial arts is still a martial arts that is used entirely for defense in the world, and the ways of martial arts are actually interlinked.

After thinking about it, Fang Jie felt that there seemed to be some doubts in it, and he couldn't help asking: "When a person punches, the strongest punch should be when he hits the opponent, so why?" What about the moment of time'?"

Huo Shan shook his head and smiled. He seemed to think that Fang Jie's question was naive, but he still explained: "Isn't there a saying that if you have an opportunity, you should take it, and if you don't have the opportunity to create an opportunity, you should take it? Don't you take the initiative to create this "moment" opportunity?"

Seeing that Fang Jie was still a little puzzled, Huo Shan had no choice but to calm down and said: "For example, if you punch me, I have several ways to create this opportunity for myself. I can strike right away, but I don't fight you hard, but Use ingenuity to wrap your fist strength, and then buffer your fist strength in a very short period of time before it hits me to reach the "moment when the strength is exhausted but not exhausted"; I can also Let your fist hit me, and the moment the fist hit my body, I used my ingenuity to shrink and shake my body in a very short time to buffer the force, and then at that 'instant' When it’s time to push back with your body, isn’t this just leveraging your strength?”

"Eh? That's okay?" Fang Jie couldn't help being stunned. He could understand before, but he used his body to cushion... Just like what he advised nonsense, he has the guts but not the capacity!
"Hey!" Seeing that Fang Jie couldn't believe it, Huo Shan smiled triumphantly: "If you don't believe me, you can try to punch me now."

Fang Jie tilted his head and glanced at the other party, but didn't say anything, just hit Kang Long Youhui with a move.

Huo Shan, who was planning to show off, changed his expression immediately after seeing this move. How could he dare to use his body to buffer him? Before Fang Jie could raise any questions, he said in shock and anger: "The old man told you to punch me, but you used the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, and it was the Kanglong Yougui!?"

Fang Jie said harmlessly: "Is there any problem? Didn't you say that you can use your body to cushion it?"

Huo Shan rolled his eyes, and said angrily: "Everything has a limit. Although the martial art of the Eighteen Palms of Subduing the Dragon can be buffered by the body, it depends on who is using it! You You regret the Kanglong used by the master of fist and foot, if I use my body to catch this old bone, you will break this old bone!"

"Hey hey..." Fang Jie couldn't help touching his nose, thinking to himself that the old man was trying to pretend but he couldn't, so he couldn't stop a smirk in his heart.
