Chapter 123 Bajiquan Perfected! (Please Subscribe)

As the sun slowly set, the sky gradually darkened.

On the open ground, two figures exchanged blows, the sound of fists colliding echoing continuously.

Wang Ping and the others watching this scene all showed envy in their eyes.

Brother Fan was able to hold his own against Uncle Zhang using his fist techniques. He wondered when he had reached such a level.

With a muffled thud, Chen Fan stumbled back a few steps, looking somewhat disheveled.

His fists were bright red, like two steamed shrimp.

"Would you like to come again?"

Zhang Ren's voice rang out from the other side.

"I'm not coming, I'm not coming."

Chen Fan shook his head with a wry smile and shook his hands.

"Um."

Zhang Ren calmly placed his right fist behind his back, his lips twitching slightly.

He spent the entire afternoon sparring with Chen Fan using boxing techniques.

Seeing that Chen Fan was using basic boxing techniques, he naturally felt embarrassed to use Tai Chi or Xingyi boxing techniques, so he also used basic boxing techniques.

At first, Chen Fan seemed a bit rusty, but he fought more and more fiercely afterward, and Chen Fan, who was at the same level, was no match for him.

You have to understand, his specialty is boxing, yet Chen Fan managed to push him to this point.

Left with no other choice, he had to improve his cultivation level, which gave him the upper hand.

"Uncle Zhang, let me go back and have a meal first. We can spar again after we finish eating."

Chen Fa smiled.

"Alright, shall we spar?"

Zhang Ren asked upon hearing this.

To be honest, he felt he had gained some inspiration after his fight with Chen Fan.

Over the years, he has been practicing Tai Chi, Xingyi Quan, Bajiquan, and so on, but has neglected the basic boxing techniques.

Perhaps forgetting everything I've learned and focusing on practicing basic boxing techniques for a period of time will actually help me break through my plateau?

"Marksmanship, I suppose."

Chen Fan thought for a moment, "Practicing boxing all the time can be quite boring."

"Okay, let's wait until after we finish eating."

Zhang Ren nodded and then walked into the house.

Chen Fan smiled and slowly walked home.

This afternoon, he started with the most basic Ryougi Shiki, then moved on to the Eighth Level Stance, and after unlocking Bajiquan, he began to spar with Zhang Ren.

The harvest was plentiful.

Ryougi Shiki: lv1 (1%), Traits: Robustness Lv1, Power Lv1

[Level 8 Frame: lv2 (0%), Trait: Mighty Level 2]

Ryougi Shiki, as a derivative of Tai Chi style, has an additional characteristic despite being only level 1: power. This means that it increases power by one point with each level increase.

According to Zhang Ren, the Ryougi Shiki is the foundation of the Bajiquan stance and can enhance the explosive power of Bajiquan.

The robust characteristic of the level 8 stance is an upgraded version of the strong characteristic. Each level can increase the constitution attribute by 3 points, and level 2 can increase the constitution attribute by 6 points, which makes Chen Fan somewhat tempted.

The difficulty of leveling up is very high. Ryougi Shiki, he stood for less than half an hour and had already reached level 1.

The eighth-level stance is like an advanced version of stance training. After half an hour, he hadn't even reached five percent. Helpless, he could only add some experience points to it.

Of course, the biggest improvement is in the basic boxing techniques, which have been raised from level 5 to level 9.

[Basic Fist Technique: lv9 (5%), Characteristics: Powerful lv9, Body Strengthening lv7, Swiftness lv5, Powerful lv3, Agileness lv1]

The three attributes of physique, strength, and agility have all been improved to varying degrees.

Powerful and agile; the former enhances the power of a punch, while the latter enhances its speed.

His gaze fell on Bajiquan, and sure enough, it had been unlocked.

"Check how many experience points it will take to max it out. If it doesn't consume many experience points, then max it out."

Chen Fan thought for a moment and added some experience points.

Suddenly, his proficiency in Bajiquan increased by 50%!

Chen Fa opened his eyes wide.

He remembered that Tai Chi required 20 experience points just to learn it, while Bajiquan only required two experience points.

There was no need to hesitate any longer, so he quickly added a little more.

Instantly, all the muscles in my body tensed up, giving me the feeling that every muscle was breaking outwards, and my feet felt lighter, as if I had lost a lot of weight.

At the same time, a slightly weak warm current rose up, nourishing every part of the body.

The pain in my fists has also eased considerably.

A few seconds later, the noise stopped.

[Bajiquan: Beginner Level (0%), Characteristics: Powerful Level 1, Robust Level 1, Agile Level 1]

[Fierce and Powerful: For each level the skill is upgraded, the Strength attribute permanently increases by 5 points.]

Looking at the three unlocked features, Chen Fan thought to himself that they were quite similar to Tai Chi.

Tai Chi Chuan provides the greatest boost to Constitution, followed by Strength and Agility.

Bajiquan, however, provides the greatest boost to strength, followed by constitution and agility.

The total increase remains unchanged at 11 points.

"It's somewhat expected, since both of these are at the same level of boxing, and we've only just started learning. As our proficiency increases, the stylistic differences between the two boxing styles will become more pronounced."

With anticipation in his eyes, he invested another few experience points.

The proficiency level of Bajiquan soared to 20%, meaning that 5 experience points would be enough.

Chen Fan smiled knowingly and invested another 4 experience points.

The improvement effect of these basic boxing techniques is truly immense.

If this trend continues, the next level might only be 10 points?

[Bajiquan: Slightly proficient (0%), Characteristics: Fierce and powerful level 2, Majestic level 2, Agile level 2]

At the minor completion stage, no new features were unlocked.

Chen Fan didn't mind and gained a little more experience.

Just as he thought, it only took 10 experience points to progress from the initial stage to the advanced stage.

A change occurred in my body, and a strange feeling welled up in my heart.

[Bajiquan: Entering the Inner Chamber (0%), Characteristics: Fierce 3, Powerful 3, Agile 3, Opening 1]

"Open the door?"

Chen Fan was stunned and couldn't help but complain, "There's a special ability with this name?"

Does that mean it will have to close down?

But when he looked again, he understood.

[Open the Door: For each level the skill increases, the chance of breaking through the opponent's door increases by 30%. This effect applies when unarmed.]

According to Zhang Ren, Bajiquan, originally named Kaimen Bajiquan, is about breaking through the opponent's defenses and engaging in close-quarters combat.

Looking at it this way, this characteristic is the essence of Bajiquan.

The experience points required to progress from beginner to expert are only 17, which Chen Fan felt he could max out in one go.

Putting everything else aside, just the attribute points alone will increase by 55!

I've taken another step closer to breaking through to the late stage of the Body Refinement realm.

I invested a little more experience points, and my proficiency in Bajiquan increased by 5%.

After investing another 19 points, in addition to the physical changes, a strange feeling came over me again.

Clearly, new features have been unlocked.

【Bajiquan: Mastery (0%), Characteristics: Fierce 4, Mighty 4, Agile 4, Opening 2, Iron Mountain Lean 1】

"!"

Chen Fan's eyes widened immediately.

Isn't this the ultimate technique of Bajiquan that Uncle Zhang mentioned before?

I didn't expect to unlock it at the Great Completion stage. What will be the characteristics unlocked at the Perfection stage?

He didn't have time to think much before looking at Tieshan's description.

[Iron Mountain Lean: Active skill. After activation, it consumes Spirit, allowing the user to lean towards the opponent with all their might. The closer the distance, the higher the damage, up to twice the user's own strength. Each level increases the damage by one time.]

Chen Fan gasped in shock.

Damage twice the strength of one's own?

His current strength attribute is at least 120 points, which is 12 times that of an ordinary person, and he can deliver a punch that can hit 1200 jin (600 catties).

If you use the Iron Mountain Lean technique to unleash twice the force, that's 2400 jin!

Moreover, according to the description, if it is upgraded to another level, it can cause damage up to three times its own strength, which is 3600 jin, or 1.8 tons!

What would happen if this force hit a person?

Of course, the premise is that you must hit the target, which requires very strict distance control. After all, how much distance is there between your shoulders? Most opponents will not allow you to get that close.

But if you combine it with the previous feature, opening the door becomes much easier.

"By the way, my current physique has reached over 120 points. Even if it's not as good as a mid-level ferocious beast, it's not far off. If I get hit by a regular pistol or rifle bullet, as long as it's not to the head, I should be fine, right?"

He shook his head at this thought.

If you can dodge the bullets, it's best to dodge them.

Even if you don't die from being shot, it still hurts. If you get the body-refining manual later, maybe you can give it a try.

"Just one last step left. If I max it out, I'll reach the perfect state. I wonder what kind of special features will be unlocked then."

Chen Fan looked on expectantly, adding a little experience points, which increased his proficiency by 2%.

A total of 50 experience points have been earned, and the Bajiquan technique has been successfully mastered.

Chen Fan took a deep breath and looked at the skill bar:

【Bajiquan: Perfected (cannot be upgraded), Characteristics: Fierce 5, Mighty 5, Agile 5, Opening Gate 3, Iron Mountain Strike 2, Eight Directions Extreme Distance 1】

【Eight Directions to the Farthest Expansion: Active skill. After activation, it continuously consumes mental energy to temporarily double strength and agility. For each level the skill is upgraded, strength and agility are doubled again upon activation.】

"Extremely far in all directions?"

Chen Fan was slightly surprised.

The meaning of Bajiquan is that its power can reach extremely far in all directions. In addition, Bajiquan has extremely high explosive power, with the power to shake the sky and stomp the land. Therefore, this ultimate characteristic is an explosive skill, which can be explained.

Once activated, it can double your strength and agility attributes, making it incredibly effective for both offense and escape.

"I originally thought that I would only be able to fight Zhao Family Fortress once my cultivation level reached at least the late stage of Flesh Refining. But now it seems that with this characteristic, it should be enough."

Chen Fan breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't know whether Uncle Wei and the others had gotten into trouble.

If something goes wrong, it will be too late to say anything.

If nothing goes wrong, that would be ideal, but every second they stay there increases the danger.

The sooner I can rescue them, the better!

Chen Fan looked toward Zhao Family Fortress, his eyes revealing determination.

Tonight, I'll improve my strength as much as I can.

We'll set off for Zhao Family Fort early tomorrow morning!
