"Bang!"
With another muffled sound, the two of them faced each other with a punch and each took a few steps back. They were actually evenly matched.
This result was not unexpected. The two people's four attributes were almost the same, and even their attainments in the Huo Family Style were neck and neck. If there was a difference, it would be that Tang Shan's Huo Family Style focused on the depth of the foundation, while Chen Zhen's Huo Family Style focused on flexibility. It was difficult to tell which was better.
The clash between the two immediately attracted the cheers of the junior brothers and sisters.
"Good! Eldest Senior Brother is mighty!"
"Fifth Senior Brother, you played beautifully!"
“……”
The two people in the field were not affected by the cheers of the crowd. They looked at each other and neither of them made a move. It was as if they wanted to see the flaws in each other's movements.
After a long confrontation, the two still had no intention of fighting. In the end, Chen Zhen compromised first. "Eldest Senior Brother, I'm going to be serious next!" he said with a chuckle.”
After saying that, he casually moved his body, then crossed his fists in front of his chest, and his feet began to slide.
"Eh? What kind of fighting style was Fifth Brother using? It's actually so strange!"
"Yes, Fifth Brother's fighting style is somewhat like Western boxing, but not completely.”
"Is this the new fighting style that Fifth Senior Brother created?”
"How should Eldest Senior Brother deal with this? I'm really looking forward to it!"
Chen Zhen's fighting style immediately made the spectating junior brothers and sisters feel extremely novel.
Tang Shan's eyes narrowed when he saw Chen Zhen's sliding action."Not only is this fighting style not strange, but it's also very powerful. This is because it's a free-combat technique that combines all fighting techniques into one.”
Freestyle fighting was never limited to one move or one style. It was aimed at effectively knocking down the opponent in the shortest amount of time. Tang Shan was also given free combat by the system, and his attainments were not low, so he naturally knew how powerful it was.
Pausing for a moment, Tang Shan thought to himself,"" From Chen Zhen's information, he has already practiced his kickboxing to the great success realm, and he has most likely integrated the Huo Family Style, Karate, Jiu-jitsu, and many other boxing techniques. If I were to fight him with the Huo Family Style alone, I would definitely lose. It seems that I have no choice but to use the Shadow Fist.”
With this in mind, Tang Shan retracted his fist stance and continued to draw his palms up and down, bringing out a fantasy-like palm shadow.
"Ah! That is…Shadow Fist!"
"That's right! Eldest Shixiong is using the Shadow Fist!"
"Oh my god! He didn't expect that Eldest Senior Brother had even learned the Shadow Fist.”
"This way, Fifth Senior Brother is in a bit of a predicament!”
Tang Shan had just assumed the stance of the Shadow Fist when the old disciples who knew the goods immediately exclaimed. It was no wonder. The Shadow Fist was the treasure of the Jingwu Sect. Huo Yuanjia had used this fist to defeat Zhao Menghai, the boxing champion of seven provinces, in three moves. He had also defeated the Russian strongman in the ring many times. He had created too many miracles.
In the original movie, the Shadow Fist was not taught to people with other surnames. In fact, this statement was wrong. Moreover, it was too much to underestimate the breadth of mind of Huo Yuanjia, a grandmaster of his generation. Huo Yuanjia had devoted his entire life to eliminating sectarianism, hoping that all his countrymen could practice martial arts to strengthen their bodies and strengthen their country. Why would he keep it to himself for a mere set of Lost Track Fist?
The reason why Tang Shan knew Shadow Fist and Chen Zhen did not was firstly because Tang Shan's Shadow Fist was directly given to him by the system, and secondly because after Huo Yuanjia perfected Shadow Fist, Chen Zhen had already gone to Japan to study, so he had no chance to learn it.
Although Chen Zhen didn't know how to use the Shadow Fist, he had heard his master Huo Yuanjia talk about some of the fist theories of the Shadow Fist. It was these fist theories that had benefited him a lot until now. Therefore, he knew better than anyone else how powerful the Shadow Fist was. At this moment, when he saw Tang Shan assuming the stance of the Shadow Fist, he immediately put away his smugness.
"Phew!"
Suddenly, Chen Zhen made the first move. He threw a straight punch at Tang Shan's face. This punch was fast and accurate. The sound of the fist breaking through the air made people doubt its power.
It was too late to say, but it was too fast. Just as this mighty punch was about to hit him, Tang Shan also made his move. With a wave of his palm, he brought out a series of afterimages, real and fake, illusory and real. This punch hit the afterimage and instantly disappeared without a trace like a clay ox entering the sea. This was what the so-called lost trace meant.
Tang Shan wanted to take advantage of Chen Zhen's punch to counterattack, but he found that Chen Zhen quickly retreated.
"As expected of a great success level free-combat. This reaction speed is really amazing!”
While Tang Shan was amazed, Chen Zhen was also shocked."That move just now was really strange. If I had reacted a second later, I would have fallen into Eldest Senior Brother's trap.”
Thinking of this, Chen Zhen thought about it and went up again. He leaped forward and quickly approached Tang Shan. Then, he thrust out his right palm. It was the extremely fierce Half Moon Hand in karate. Tang Shan was still as imposing as a mountain. With a twist of his palm, he dissolved this fierce move. Chen Zhen's first move failed, but he came up with a new move. His left hand formed a claw and grabbed Tang Shan's shoulder. His right arm bent and his elbow hit Tang Shan's heart. It was an exquisite move in jiu-jitsu. Tang Shan also had a way to counter this move. He took a wrong step and his body moved to the side. Chen Zhen's grab missed. Then, he grabbed Chen Zhen's wrist with his right hand and held Chen Zhen's elbow with his left hand. Then, he locked Chen Zhen's next move with his backhand. Who knew that Chen Zhen's reaction was also fast. He twisted his body and broke free from Tang Shan's grasp like a loach…
Just like this, the two of them blindly engaged in close combat and grappling. It was really like a butterfly passing through flowers, causing the surrounding junior brothers and sisters to be dazzled and gasp in amazement.
The two of them exchanged dozens of moves. Chen Zhen felt the pressure increase, so he took advantage of a gap and punched away Tang Shan's attack before jumping out. Sensing Chen Zhen's intention to retreat, Tang Shan did not pursue.
Standing still, Chen Zhen cupped his fists and smiled.""Eldest Senior Brother, this little brother is really impressed by you this time.”
Tang Shan also laughed." Don't flatter me, kid. It's not easy for me to defeat you."”
What the two of them said was the truth. After all, it was a spar between fellow disciples. Many moves were limited. If it was a battle of life and death, it would be hard to predict who would win.
At this point, the long-awaited competition finally ended with Tang Shan winning slightly.
Following that, all the juniors surrounded Tang Shan and Chen Zhen and eagerly asked them for advice.
It wasn't until lunch time that the juniors dispersed.
A moment later, two ten-meter-long mats were arranged on the martial arts field of the Jingwu Sect. The juniors served the dishes, and those who took the rice took the rice. It was very lively.
After a while, the food was served and everyone sat down.
Tang Shan looked around and realized that Huo Ting 'en was not present. He immediately said,""Ah Chang, go call your Second Senior Brother out for dinner.”
"Second Senior Brother went out early in the morning and said that he would only come back at night."”
Hearing this, Tang Shan could not help but frown slightly and said,""Let's eat. We'll eat first. After we're done, Chen Zhen will bring a few people to Spring Fragrance Yard to get Tingen back. I'll go issue a challenge to Hongkou Dojo.”
"Yes, Eldest Senior Brother!"
"Eldest Senior Brother, what kind of place is Spring Fragrance Yard? How do you know where Second Brother is?”
It had to be said that this Ah Chang was really too pure. Spring Fragrance Yard. Just from the name, it was known as a brothel. It would have been fine if he hadn't asked, but this question was simply adding fuel to the fire.
Chen Zhen was afraid that Tang Shan would get angry, so he immediately picked up a chicken drumstick and placed it in Ah Chang's bowl. He scolded,"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. Hurry up and eat your food!”
Nong Jinsun, who was sitting next to Tang Shan, had a gloomy expression on his face. Just think about it. The father had just been buried, and the son went to a brothel the next day. There was nothing more despicable than this. It would be strange if it didn't make people angry.
Just like that, the meal ended in silence.
Chen Zhen casually called two of his junior brothers and went straight to Spring Fragrance Yard to find Huo Ting 'en. Tang Shan turned around and went to the study. He wrote a letter of challenge solemnly, then changed into a black tunic suit and headed straight for Hongkou Dojo.
On the way to the Hongkou Dojo, Tang Shan opened the system to take a look. He did not expect to receive a small surprise. The system had actually turned his duel with Chen Zhen into a side quest, allowing him to gain another 500 experience points. So far, he had accumulated 1550 experience points.
Tang Shan then opened the Exchange Mall and browsed through it. Then, his eyes fell on the martial arts experience book. He thought for a moment and spent 1000 experience points to exchange for a grandmaster-level martial arts experience book.
Then, his heart sank." System, I want to use the grandmaster-level martial arts experience book to upgrade the Shadow Fist.”
However, the system replied,"Sorry, because the host's Huo Family Style is not high enough, it is impossible to upgrade the Shadow Fist."”
"What is it? There was actually such a setting? Why didn't you say so earlier?" Tang Shan almost roared.
The System said," The System has always reminded you about martial arts. Please explore it yourself."”
Hearing this answer, Tang Shan immediately lost his temper. But then he asked,"Can I return the goods?"”
The System said," I'm sorry, the System Store does not support the return service.”
"You win. Upgrade the Huo Family Style for me.”
"As you wish!"
"Ding! The Huo Family Style has been upgraded successfully. The host's Huo Family Style is currently at the Grandmaster Level. The host's Constitution 30, Strength 50, Agility 50, Spirit 10. Please take note!”
"Leveling up a martial art actually increases all four attributes?”Tang Shan was delighted when he heard the system notification. He paused for a moment and then muttered," But it makes sense. If you practice a skill well, your strength and other physical qualities will also increase. This attribute addition is reasonable.”
