Chinese martial arts: From human punching bags to martial arts mastery

"Hey--"

Qian Hu's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and his aura suddenly surged, with the internal energy of Tongbei Fist gathering like a raging tide!

This strike was his trump card – the [Tongbei Piercing Heart Cannon Fist]!

The power of the fist is concentrated at one point, a single strike piercing the heart, certain death without mercy!

This punch has killed countless martial artists, and even Ming Jin masters have fallen to its power!

"Danger!"

On the small steamer, the atmosphere instantly froze to freezing point.

Everyone's face turned deathly pale, and a chilling sense of death shot straight to their heads.

Hu Tao gripped the railing tightly, her knuckles turning white, her heart pounding in her chest. She cried out, "Chen Feng! Come back!"

Tang Tang covered her eyes tightly in terror, tears streaming down her face like a burst dam. Her whole body trembled violently. The resentment she had felt vanished instantly in the face of death, leaving only endless fear: "I hate him... but I don't want him to die..."

Wang Xiaoer's legs went weak, and he collapsed onto the deck, his face filled with despair, his breath completely stopped.

Hu Mingxuan frowned, his eyes were so serious they seemed to be dripping with tears, he stared intently at the battle, his breathing rapid and out of control.

Only Hu Sanzhen remained calm, taking a deep drag of his cigarette, as if he had already seen through everything.

"boom--!"

Qian Hu shot out like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey, instantly arriving in front of Chen Feng!

"die--!"

A roar shattered the surging river waves, and the [Heart Piercing Cannon], with the force to collapse mountains and split seas, crashed towards Chen Feng's heart!

A violent and unparalleled fist swept out, instantly sending wood chips flying from the deck. The entire cargo ship rocked wildly on the river, as if it would fall apart at any moment!

This punch was so fast and so ruthless that it left no chance of survival!

Chen Feng had his back to the ship's gunwale, with nowhere to retreat!

At the critical moment, he suddenly raised his arm and used all his strength to block!

In that life-or-death moment!

call out----------!!

A barely audible, yet incredibly fast, sonic boom suddenly exploded!

A tiny, dark red spark, moving so fast that only afterimages remained, struck Qian Hu's toes with the precision of a shooting star!

Fast! Ruthless! Trickster!

"ah--!!"

Qian Hu's peak fist power shattered instantly! All his muscles stiffened abruptly, and he completely lost his balance!

This Tongbei Quan prodigy, who was about to enter the Dark Force realm, was in an extremely disheveled state at this moment, like a stray dog, as he lunged forward fiercely!

"thump--!"

A loud bang!

Amidst the stunned gazes of everyone, Qian Hu plunged headfirst off the cargo boat and crashed heavily into the turbulent Black River!

He felt his head explode with a buzzing sound, his vision went black, the world spun around him, and he lost all five senses in an instant!

The river waves swept him up completely, without even a ripple!

The entire room fell silent!

The wind stopped! The waves were calm! Even the air seemed to freeze!

Everyone froze on the spot, their minds blank, completely stunned into silence by what they saw!

For a brief moment.

"Run!!"

The Green Gang thugs who had come with Qian Hu were terrified and scattered like birds and beasts on the spot!

next second.

Those unfortunate people who suffered oppression from the Green Gang on the water finally erupted with resentment, anger, and the pent-up suffering of half a lifetime!

"Okay! Okay!"

A deafening roar of cheers erupted!

"Splash! Splash—"

Countless boatmen and laborers knelt down on the spot, bowing and worshipping the figure on the boat!

The six rescued youths were moved to tears, clasped their hands together, and bowed repeatedly to Chen Feng!

Chen Feng looked at everyone, a faint smile appearing on his lips, and gestured for everyone to stand up!

"OK--!!"

The small steamer instantly erupted in excitement. Everyone could no longer contain their excitement and began pounding on the railings. Applause and cheers exploded wildly, almost overturning the roof of the ship!

"You're always showing off! It's good that you're alright!"

Hu Tao, holding onto the gunwale, her eyes red-rimmed, looked at the blood-soaked figure standing tall, filled with lingering fear and utmost respect!

"That scared me to death...that scared me to death..."

Tang Tang secretly wiped away her tears, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily turned up. She didn't even realize that the hatred she felt at the moment of life and death had already turned into fear and relief.

Wang Xiaoer scrambled to his feet, waving his fists and roaring wildly, "His name is Chen Feng! Sharp as in 'sharp'... His name is Chen Feng! Sharp as in 'sharp'!"

Not just the river surface!

On both sides of the river, at the docks and on the mudflats, crowds of people witnessed the battle. At this moment, cheers were like a tsunami, and the shouts of encouragement carried by the river wind for miles away!

in the crowd.

Everyone in the martial arts world was stunned—this inexperienced young man had actually withstood the deadly attack of a Ming Jin genius and held on to the end single-handedly, truly a "battle that shocked the Jianghu"!

Chen Feng stood on the swaying cargo boat, facing the cheers from all around, and slowly straightened his aching body!

A warm current rushed through my limbs and bones, and on my retina, the words "Heaven rewards diligence, and success is inevitable" shone with golden light!

[Minor Mastery of Hard Qigong: 499/1000]

[Tongbei Quan Minor Mastery: 45/1000]

[Tongbei Quan - Minor Success in Stance Training: 490/1000]

The principles of Tongbei Quan were fully integrated into his mind. The power of his waist, hips, shoulders, back, and arms was perfectly integrated. The originally clumsy moves became smooth and flowing. Chen Feng's Tongbei Quan had truly reached a high level. There was no longer any swaying on the boat. The rise and fall of the river and the crashing waves all became the foundation of his stance training. He stood on the boat as if he were on the ground, as stable as a rock!

"Gurgle—"

Chen Feng tilted his head back and swallowed the entire bottle of Qi and Blood Dispersant, then swallowed a special-effect pill, the medicinal power quickly dissolving in his body.

"Um--"

He slowly clenched his fists, clearly feeling the surge of power and the rush of blood and qi. All the fatigue and pain left by the repeated bloody battles were swept away at this moment.

He looked up at the surging black waves and turbulent currents on the river, his eyes sharp as knives, his fighting spirit burning fiercely, without a trace of complacency or relaxation.

He knew that Qian Hu was not dead!

But so what?

On the second day of the second lunar month, the dragon raises its head!

The next time he sees Qian Hu, he will, as a dignified successor of Tongbei Quan, use the purest boxing techniques to directly crush this so-called genius who betrayed his master and ancestors, cleanse the sect, and establish his authority in the martial arts world!

"Whoosh—"

The river wind howled, whipping up the hem of his blood-stained clothes.

After this life-or-death battle.

His mindset, martial arts skills, and foundation have all undergone a complete transformation; he is no longer the novice who was bullied by everyone.

The trust of the crew on the small steamer, the thunderous cheers from the people on both sides of the Suzhou River, the heavy expectations of his master Yan Tieqiao, and the confidence to keep getting stronger... all of these transformed into his courage to move forward without fear!

Chen Feng looked up into the distance, his gaze sharp and his fighting spirit soaring to the heavens.

Even though the road ahead to Songjiang is fraught with thorns and dangers, he is fully confident that he will overcome all obstacles!

The Suzhou River beneath his feet may not seem long, but it has become the perfect stage for him to roam freely.

Chen Feng spoke slowly, his voice not loud, but each word was as resounding as metal striking stone, piercing through the wind and waves, and shaking the martial world.

"This person must be killed!"

"I want the middle section of the Suzhou Creek too!"
