Just like a man can stare at an excavator working for a whole day.

Suddenly, Linga walked to the wall that was blocked by the corridor when he came here, with his arms open, as if in preparation for a hug, but his slowly clenched fists indicated that what was about to unfold was not so gentle.

Look at the lower limbs that keep shaking with the ground and the upper body that is as steady as a rock.

This posture does not exist in any ancient martial arts.

It has never happened in history.

even so……

The five martial artists present could also see the intention behind this posture at a glance.

Because it's just too pure.

So pure that it is impossible not to see.

The linga resonates with the earth through the feet, so that the whole person is in step with the earth beneath the feet.

In other words, blend into the earthquake and become a part of it.

The description of a man-made disaster has become an objective fact!

Primitives join the game: 52. Earthquake Fist

In a certain year and month, on an uninhabited beach in the treasure island of China.

Nikaidou Ren, who is only ten years old, is doing horse stance.

A sophistication far beyond his years.

It would make older martial artists break out in sweat and feel ashamed after seeing this.

He stood firmly on the ground like a wooden stake, but he was not completely still. Careful observation revealed that the joints of his limbs and his waist and hips were shaking at an imperceptible amplitude.

When faced with sudden external force, the body absorbs it like a soft sponge, and then transfers the impact force to the ground under the feet, preventing oneself from being knocked down by force.

It's hard to imagine.

A child weighing less than 100 kilograms can ignore the pushing and punches of adults with just one posture.

However, this miraculous performance, which seemed miraculous to outsiders, was not taken seriously at all by the elderly man next to him - the previous generation of the "Shenlang Clan", who even sighed openly.

"You're just being clever."

As he spoke, he walked forward.

The young boy Nikaidou Ren's face changed drastically. He secretly tensed up and was wary of the attack from his master. He was too familiar with his master's approach.

as predicted.

The previous generation took action unexpectedly.

Even though I was mentally prepared and noticed the master's low sweeping leg, I couldn't block it no matter what!

The boy lost his balance in an instant and fell to the ground, staring blankly at his master.

“Am I moving fast?”

the old man asked.

Nikaidou Ren shook his head.

"So I have great power?"

Continue to shake your head.

"Then why can't you stop it?"

"..."

Nikaidou Ren was silent for a while and shook his head slowly.

It's not a rejection, it's an admission of ignorance.

The old man pointed to the tall building whose outline was faintly visible not far away and asked, "Do you think it will collapse if I kick it?"

"How could a person do such a thing!"

"Yeah, what if I enlarge my body to the same size as that thing?"

"This...should be possible, right?"

This time it was the old man's turn to shake his head.

“——I can’t do that.”

"Maybe I can kick it to pieces, but I can never trip it, because... it has become one with the land beneath our feet."

"Unity...Martial artists are greedy creatures. They want to use their muscles, speed, skills, center of gravity, and even their breathing...everything, and eventually integrate them together...At this time, this collection will be given a new name. Do you know what it is?"

Nikaidou Ren shook his head in confusion, but there was a strong curiosity in his eyes.

As if touched by this pure curiosity, the old man smiled slightly: "It's 'skill'."

"?!"

"All the training of a martial artist is ultimately for the purpose of controlling oneself and becoming one's own god. God has the power to quell disputes, which is an omnipotent power. A martial artist who reaches this state can be said to be the strongest."

"Horse stance is also a 'basic skill' developed to reach this level... Do you understand what this means? Regardless of the differences in schools and philosophies, as long as you are a martial artist, you must practice it, and practice it to death, because this is not the basic skill of a certain school, but the basic skill of martial arts, the ancestor of boxing and the source of all schools."

“Human beings cannot live without the earth, and the earth carries all things in the world.”

"So, if you can become one with the earth, you can feel the power that carries all things in the world through the reaction force, and adjust yourself with the skills to move closer to it."

"The result... is that you can integrate all your strength, and at any time you can burst out with your whole body and soul to deliver the most powerful punch, which is called 'fa jin'."

"'Exerting strength' is also the basic skill of all martial arts. Do you understand? Mastering some school techniques and mysteries is nothing. Martial artists should practice 'martial arts'. Don't take the name of 'Tianlang Fist' too seriously."

"Focus on the two basic skills of standing in horse stance and releasing power. You will be able to master those seemingly magical skills that you have never touched before just by practicing them a few times."

The old man stroked his beard with a disdainful expression.

"But Master, it is impossible for a person to really take root in the ground and merge with the ground. That is just imagination at best."

Nikaidou Ren retorted unconvinced.

"In fact, if you encounter objective factors such as shaking ground, being on the water or in mid-air, human weight will still be affected."

"I have seen a martial artist who could not stand steadily on a boat when he went out to sea, because the boat would suddenly sink as if it disappeared from time to time, and the soles of human feet are not sticky."

“So you still have to maintain your body’s sensitivity. Once you’ve reached the state of ‘fa jin’, you can fight while standing on the ground or flying in the air. In other words, after you’ve reached the state of ‘fa jin’, you no longer need to do horse stance. At this time, you’re training to pursue basic skills that are more powerful than ‘fa jin’.”

"No."

"what?"

“There is no more powerful fundamental skill than ‘fa jin’.”

The old man spoke indifferently.

"Zama is the prototype of countless stances. Different stances have different effects, but the purpose is to improve the power."

"The purpose of the original horse stance is purely to improve the power, that is, "jin". "Fa jin" means to exert this power."

"Those boxing techniques are just derivatives developed for different situations. They are still essentially 'exerting strength'."

“So the horse stance should be practiced like the pole stance until death.”

"Yes!"

Nikaidou Ren was so frightened by his master's tone that he quickly got up and continued to do horse stance, but the old man glanced at him and shook his head.

The young genius in the eyes of outsiders, a talent destined to leave a name in the martial arts world in the future, was simply a rotten wood that could not be carved in his eyes.

"Forget it... it would be nice if I could pass on the 'Siren Wolf Fist'."

"But then again, the situation you just described is not without a solution. People can indeed stand firmly on the ground in such a situation."

"Eh?"

"Using martial arts methods should be called unity of mind, right? Use your heart to feel the changes in the outside world, follow the trend, and attack the ground."

"Attack... the ground?"

Ignoring the young man's shock, the old man continued:

"As far as I know, there is a boxing style in Asia called 'Zhen Yi Liu He Quan', which can deliver the most powerful 'Fa Jin', which is considered to be the strongest in Asia."

"The practitioner of this boxing style can be a delicate little girl or a strong man with broad shoulders and waist, but the effect of 'exerting strength' is the same and terrifying."

"The reason is that he is good at 'shock kicks', which damage the ground in a similar way to an attack, and the reaction force is exerted along with the strength of the whole body."

"This is very scary. Normally, 'fa jin' uses the whole body's strength, but they attack the ground first. The reaction force is equal to their striking force. This force is added to the next 'fa jin', which means that the damage caused by one strike is equivalent to two 'fa jin' strikes."

"This way, even a frail little girl can easily deliver a full-strength attack equivalent to that of a person twice her own weight and height."

"Attacking the ground... is like fighting with an enemy. Wherever the ground goes, you go there. Capture its movements in advance and move with it. No matter how it shakes, it can't get rid of you. Isn't it like sticking to the ground?"

"Even if there's a landslide or a tsunami, you can still be nailed to the ground... Just kidding, how can humans possibly fight against natural disasters? But I've always had an idea."

"Since we can use the reaction force to strengthen our 'power', if the ground itself is releasing and transmitting power upwards, such as an 'earthquake'... then can we use its power to deliver a punch that is as destructive as a natural disaster?"

"You're going to die!"

Nikaidou Ren was stunned. Even though he was younger, he knew how absurd this was.

“Hahaha… Yeah, becoming one with the earthquake’s mind is way too difficult. The vibrations are so fast that people can’t react in time. It’s impossible to do it.”

"Even if it did, it would be destroyed like a collapsed house."

"but……"

The old man suddenly changed the subject, looked at the high-rise building he had used as an example, and said quietly: "After all, people are not houses. Although houses look solid and have foundations, they lack softness and elasticity."

"Besides, humans know how to think and have true willpower. Even the most violent power in the body can theoretically be controlled."

"Rather... martial artists and fighters have always been doing this kind of thing."

"The reason why I can't do it is because I don't have enough ability... I really envy those animals. They can detect disasters before they happen. If we martial artists can have enough perception, I would like to try to see how far I can go."

"No, it's not enough to just have perception, you also need to have enough reflexes... Oh, there are so many difficulties, forget about these words, this idea can't be called an idea, it should be called a fantasy, it's not something that human power can do."

"master."

Seeing his master's lack of interest, Nikaidou Ren couldn't help but wonder, "What if we can really use the power of earthquakes to perform 'Fa Jin'?"

"I don't know... but you can imagine yourself merging with the mantle, the epicenter of the earthquake, which is more than 50 kilometers away. In your eyes, everyone on the surface of the earth is as light as dust. You will punch your opponent at a speed of 30 kilometers per second, the same speed as the earth's rotation... Although the metaphor is not very appropriate, the ending is always similar~"

……

master.

Your idea...is not a fantasy!

Nikaidou Ren's eyes widened as wide as possible, not wanting to miss any of the following frames. His mind recalled his childhood conversation with his master, and his thoughts surged for a moment.

There is no need to force yourself to cooperate with the earthquake.

There is no need to carefully feel the force fed back from the ground like when doing horse stance.

Unity?

Unity of mind?

Wrong, all wrong!

Instead of imagining your feet rooted in the earth, it is better to bury your feet directly into the ground.

Instead of trying to capture the magnitude of an earthquake, it’s better to be directly underground.

It is well known that the earthquake felt underground is smaller than that felt on the ground.

The shaking at high places is more violent than that at the ground.

This is all because the power is released at the end, exploding like the crack of a whip.

How difficult it is to capture and subdue such power!

If you are not careful, you will be hurt.

It’s different underground.

This space thirty meters underground was shaking violently from front to back, left to right, up to down, and up to down. It was a completely different feeling from standing on the ground.

The vibrations travel through the body and are released to the ground relatively gently.
