He achieved the pinnacle of martial arts starting with breaking through the limits of Tiger Fist.

This was Jiang Lin's second visit to the small courtyard behind the martial arts school.

As the year draws to a close, there are far fewer disciples in the back courtyard. Moreover, once they become martial artists, they have more freedom of movement and don't have to stay in the hall all day.

Martial artists always need to make a living. Those who only hold nominal positions, like Senior Brother Zhou, are fortunate. But those who actually hold a position can spend half the month at the martial arts school, which is considered quite leisurely.

After becoming a martial artist, earning money is easier than before, but the corresponding expenses are also greater.

As long as a martial artist still pursues the martial arts, they need to invest more resources.

Li Zhenguan was much more amiable than when they first met. After all, Jiang Lin had been spending money like water these past few months, and that alone pleased his master.

Li Zhenguan felt that the more disciples like this, the better.

Moreover, Jiang Lin was his hidden true disciple, so he should still be given the respect due to him.

Li Zhenguan offered a few words of encouragement, but didn't ask any other questions before sending Jiang Lin away.

As I said before, martial arts schools are places to make money. Even if there are deals behind the scenes, if Jiang Lin wants to be truly valued, he has to become a martial artist first.

……

Since it was about teaching boxing, Long Susu naturally became serious.

"The true meaning of the tiger lies in the word 'fierce.' This fierceness is not only about being savage and violent, but also about being resolute, like charging forward on a battlefield, or like the blazing sun crashing down on the wilderness, destroying everything in its path. It is the most essential and vigorous bloom of wildness."

Senior Sister Long first explained the true meaning before she began to take her stance.

"The opening stance is like a tiger bursting from its cage."

"The key to this technique lies in accumulating stillness and unleashing power with extreme movement. It emphasizes patience and waiting for the right moment to strike, then unleashing the most powerful attack."

The senior sister lowered her body, her center of gravity sinking, her eyes seemingly locked on her target. Suddenly, she exerted force with her feet, her body shooting out like a cannonball, and threw a punch straight at the enemy's center.

"Shadow Tiger Chasing the Wind" is a technique that uses the body to chase shadows, continuous and uninterrupted. It emphasizes extreme punching speed, launching attacks relentlessly without leaving any room for retreat.

She unleashed a barrage of punches, swift as lightning, her movements as fluid as a shadow, the winds of her fists whipping up the ground.

"A vicious tiger devours the heart"

"The Fierce Tiger Collapses the Mountain"

"The Angry Tiger Pierces Through the Forest"

"White Tiger Breaks the Army, this is the last move of Tiger Fist. It no longer focuses on the tiger itself, but takes the meaning of battlefield killing. It emphasizes that one person can form an army, gather momentum with the fist, and suppress the army with momentum. One punch is the momentum of thousands of troops galloping."

Suddenly, Senior Sister Long charged forward, closing the distance to Jiang Lin by more than ten feet, and threw a punch.

Jiang Lin faced the fist head-on and felt its immense power and devastating force.

This punch generated a gust of wind, like a battle flag billowing. Where the wind passed, snow powder exploded, making Jiang Lin's face tighten and his hair tie come undone, with his hair falling backward and flying wildly.

"So strong."

Jiang Lin stood there, his heart surging with emotion. Just a moment ago, he truly had the illusion of being on a battlefield, facing thousands of troops.

It's hard to believe that Senior Sister Long, a woman, could unleash such pure Tiger Warrior Fist intent.

"I am a woman, and I have suffered a lot in order to understand the essence of boxing. My junior brother is a man, so I believe it will be much easier for him to understand it."

After saying that, Long Susu made a "please" gesture, indicating that Jiang Lin should try it.

Jiang Lin took a deep breath and began to replay his senior sister's entire set of movements in his mind.

He slowly assumed a stance, and his internal energy gradually began to surge.

"A tiger breaks free from its cage."

Jiang Lin went from extreme stillness to extreme motion and threw a punch.

"Shadow Tiger Chasing the Wind"

"Slap, slap, slap."

A series of cracking sounds rang out as Jiang Lin unleashed a barrage of punches.

After finishing the first round, Jiang Lin exhaled and spoke, slowly concluding his practice.

[Martial Arts] Tiger Fist (Beginner 1/3000)

The next moment, a sudden realization dawned on him, and his movements, footwork, and power of the Tiger Fist gradually became clear.

At the same time, a profound and mysterious realization lingered in my mind, as if I was just about to grasp it.

"How did you comprehend the Tiger Warrior Fist, Senior Sister?"

If you can't grasp the insight, then ask. Jiang Lin answered immediately.

Long Susu chuckled, "You really don't hold back. You think you can just spout off other people's cultivation insights like that?"

Seeing Jiang Lin's thick-skinned and unmoved appearance, Long Susu said helplessly, "Forget it, it's not a big deal. When I first started practicing boxing, I followed my family's escort team to wipe out river bandits. It took me more than three months to comprehend the true meaning of boxing in the bloody battles."

Jiang Lin felt a jolt in his heart. He never expected that his senior sister, as the daughter of the Long family, would go to such lengths for the sake of advancing in martial arts. She was truly admirable.

Are there bandits in Yunmeng Marsh?

Jiang Lin was a little puzzled. Although Yunmeng Marsh was large, most of it was shrouded in water vapor. The clear waterways on the outer perimeter were only about ten miles long, which seemed to leave no room for water bandits to survive.

Senior Sister Long explained, "Junior Brother has never left Changning County since he was a child, so it's normal that he doesn't know. Have you ever wondered where the water of this great swamp comes from?"

"It is naturally where the rivers flow in."

Long Susu nodded, "Yunmeng Marsh has eight major rivers flowing into it, but the entrance is not in Yuezhou, so you naturally haven't seen it. But where there is an entrance, there must be an exit. Among the eight counties of Yuezhou, there is one called Linjiang County, and the Lanjiang River is right next to the county seat."

"Eight rivers converge to form Yunmeng, but only one outlet is opened. If you have the leisure and inclination, junior brother, you can go to the banks of the Lanjiang River to see what it means for a great river to flow, unstoppable."

"Hmm." Jiang Lin understood. So this senior sister was suppressing bandits on the Lanjiang River. It seems that her understanding of the true meaning was not just about bloody battles, but was also influenced by the momentum of the great river, which is why she was so moved.

He has now learned the fist technique and is just waiting to practice it diligently. However, he has run out of money and needs to find a way to earn it immediately. In addition, he cannot let the points he has broken through be left idle.

"Senior sister, I would like to request a leave of absence for a while."

Jiang Lin remembered that once a martial arts school disciple broke through three barriers, they would gain a lot of freedom, just like his senior brother Zhou before.

"Are you short of money again?"

Jiang Lin smiled wryly. The consumption of martial arts training was already astonishing, and he had spent many times more. Although his progress was rapid, troubles followed.

"There is one more thing."

Long Susu asked mischievously, "You need to borrow a bow again? What kind do you want this time?"

You've already said all that, what else is there for others to say?

Jiang Lin could only helplessly say, "It needs to be sturdy and durable, with a strong bow."

"Approved, but junior brother, remember not to neglect your stance training because you are too fond of boxing techniques. If your stance training is not perfected, you will only ever be at the beginner level in Tiger Legion."

Jiang Lin bowed respectfully, "Thank you for the reminder, Senior Sister. I understand."

Senior Sister Jiang was efficient and decisive. The next day, she brought him a powerful bow and arrows, and also gave him a bottle of pills as a gift for his breakthrough.

This bow is not as flashy as the previous one. It is also made of black iron, with a simple and unadorned appearance. Its dark color makes it look sturdy and durable.

After bidding farewell to Lin Zheng, Jiang Lin returned to Shaziwan.

After leaving the city gate and walking four miles along a dirt road, Jiang Lin saw the small hill and grove of trees again.

He paused for a moment, then shook his head.

He could easily do something for his cousin now, but he changed his mind.

That would be too lenient on him; Jiang Lin has never been a tolerant or magnanimous person.

His idea was simple: he would wait until his cousin was successful in life, then bring him down to earth and trample him into the mud.

It would be best to wait until he becomes a martial artist and the whole family is overjoyed before making a move. As far as he knows, in the countryside, becoming a martial artist is a celebration that involves a feast.

We'll cripple him then, since the money he spends on martial arts training is his father's life-saving money.

If you take it back yourself, who can say you're in the wrong?
