The explosive force of this kick was even stronger than the first kick, and it landed before Zhou Yi could even stabilize his lower body. Therefore, even though he had a strong physique, he was still kicked to the ground.
In a kung fu competition between experts, a slight difference could result in a great loss. After falling to the ground, in order not to fall into a passive position, Zhou Yi quickly used the Carp Kick-up move and suddenly stood up. However, just as he stood up, Funakoshi Yoshino attacked again and aimed a kick at his jaw. Zhou Yi immediately slapped his left palm down and pressed it against the back of Chuan Yue Yi Zhen's foot. At the same time, he pounced forward and his right fist followed the momentum, aiming straight for Chuan Yue Yi Zhen's lower abdomen.
"Bang!"
With a muffled sound, Chuan Yue Yi Zhen was forced back a few steps. Zhou Yi had finally moved back to a city.
"As expected of a half-step martial grandmaster. Whether it's his moves, strength, inner strength, or Gang Qi, they're all refined to the extreme. A casual move can turn something rotten into something magical.”
Feeling the numbness in his arm and the blood qi that was constantly surging in his body, Zhou Yi was both surprised and happy. He was surprised that Chuan Yue Yi Zhen was too strong, but he was happy that he had encountered a good opponent. On the path of martial arts, it was important to move forward courageously. To be able to meet a good opponent on this path was undoubtedly a great blessing.
Zhou Yi thought to himself and shook his arms. His muscles and bones rang and the numbness disappeared. Then, he strode forward. He did not bow or ride a horse. He punched first, followed by lifting, blocking, supporting the window, rotating palm, big entanglement, small entanglement, carrying collapse, falling step smashing, close to the body. It was a set of eight poles disc beating.
The Eight Extremities Disc Strike was known for its ferocity and sharpness. Although Chuan Yue Yi Zhen was two levels higher than Zhou Yi, he could only parry and not retaliate when faced with this disc strike.
"Bang bang bang…"
The two of them used speed to fight against speed. Zhou Yi pressed on step by step, while Chuan Yue Yi Zhen retreated step by step. In the blink of an eye, they had exchanged more than twenty moves. After Zhou Yi finished playing a set of plates, the momentum weakened slightly. Chuan Yue Yi Zhen then seized the opportunity to use a fierce strike to break free from the plate lock.
Standing still, he immediately praised,"The Eight Pole Plate Strike is indeed worthy of its reputation!"”
Zhou Yi said,"You flatter me. Mr. Chuan Yue's karate kicking is also very powerful!"”
"Again!"
"Alright, come on!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the two of them jumped forward and fought.
As a half-step martial grandmaster, Chuan Yue Yi Zhen not only had a deep cultivation, but his breadth of mind was also far better than ordinary people. The Japanese were a proud people. Before they tasted a painful defeat, they generally believed that their own things were the best, including martial arts. There wasn't a single samurai in Japan who didn't believe that their martial arts were the best in the world. Funakoshi Yoshino was an exception. He did not have such a self-righteous attitude, which was why he was able to absorb all the techniques in the world and reach the half-step grandmaster level.
At this moment, when he fought Zhou Yi again, his techniques were no longer pure karate. There were also the shadows of judo, aikido, taekwondo, muay thai, philippine boxing, and other fighting techniques from many countries.
Once, Zhou Yi had told the martial arts fanatic Lin that he had learned too many different kinds of kung fu, which had distracted him and caused him to become a weirdo. And now, Funakoshi Yoshino was actually proficient in fighting techniques from many countries. How could he still be so powerful?
In fact, there was something else he did not say at the end of the Book of Changes, because he was afraid that after the martial arts fanatic Lin knew about it, he would not be able to control his temper and go down the same path again.
Kungfu was a process from simplicity to complexity, and then from complexity to simplicity. At the beginning, it was the foundation stage. One had to be focused and not learn from others. When Martial Addict Lin started to learn from all the schools, it was like building a building without a foundation. It would collapse with a gust of wind. Only when the foundation was solid could it support more exquisite and complicated techniques. When the various techniques learned reached a certain level and one truly understood the true meaning of them, they would gradually embark on the path of summary and innovation. In other words, they would absorb the strengths of hundreds of schools and create a new martial arts school.
Funakoshi Yoshida had already completed this path and created the Shotao Gyokan Karate, while Zhouyi had just started and was walking down this path.
"Bang bang bang…"
In the blink of an eye, the two had exchanged more than 30 moves, but the victor was still not decided.
In the beginning, Zhou Yi gradually fell into a disadvantage under the endless fighting style of Funakoshi Yoshizen. Fortunately, his mental state was strong and he did not become anxious because of this. As he fought steadily, he calmed his mind and finally adapted to the rhythm of Chuan Yue Yi Zhen.
Although the techniques used by Funakoshi Yoshizen were unique, his knowledge of the Book of Changes was not bad either. Baji, Hack, Xing Yi, all three of them had a complete set of fist techniques. Each of them had their own exquisiteness and their own mechanisms. It could be said that they were extensive and profound.
The two of them had their own advantages and disadvantages. Zhou Yi's knowledge and experience were inferior to Chuan Yue Yi Zhen, and his martial arts cultivation was also inferior to Chuan Yue Yi Zhen. These were all his disadvantages. However, Funakoshi Yoshitani was already seventy years old, while Zhouyi was in his prime. As the saying goes," the fist fears the young." This was the advantage of Zhouyi.
The reason why Zhou Yi was able to fight evenly with the half-step great grandmaster Chuan Yue Yi Zhen with his late-stage grandmaster cultivation was because he had grasped this advantage.
"Bang bang bang…"
After another 50 moves, Funakoshi Yoshijin suddenly waved a hand and took the opportunity to escape the battle.
"I'm done, I'm done. I thought I could defeat Mr. Zhou in thirty moves, but I didn't expect that after more than a hundred moves, I still haven't seen the result.”
Zhou Yi retracted his stance and said sincerely,"Mr. Chuan Yue, you flatter me. If I were to break another 30 moves, I would be at a disadvantage. If I were to break another 100 moves, I would definitely lose.”
"A hundred moves?" Do you want my life? I'm already seventy years old. It's already very good to have such physical strength. Moreover, I'm not here to fight you to the death. I'm just here to spar. There's no need to go all out.”
" Mr. Funakoshi's martial arts and character are both admirable. If all the Japanese are like you, then..."
Before he could finish, Funakoshi Yoshino interrupted,"Mr. Zhou, I came to you today purely to exchange martial arts. It's really inappropriate to bring up other topics.”
Zhou Yi was stunned at first, then he suddenly understood,""Yes, yes, yes. I was too rash.”
" With your current martial arts attainments, Mr. Zhou," said Funakoshi Yoshizen," I believe that you'll soon reach my level. However, it's still far from enough to enter a higher realm."”
"Please enlighten me, Mr. Chuan Yue!" Zhou Yi cupped his hands and said.”
Funakoshi Yoshino said," In my opinion, the goal of practicing martial arts is not to kill and fight. It is to push one's physical strength to the highest limit. If you want to reach this realm, you must understand the lives of the universe." There is also a saying in the martial arts of your country, called 'stopping the war to become martial art.' If you can understand this sentence thoroughly, you might be able to surpass me.”
Hearing this, Zhou Yi's heart immediately trembled, and he fell into deep thought.
Clearly, Funakoshi Yoshino's words had opened a whole new door for him.
