Chapter 19: Shocking Fist
Chen Chuan suddenly felt a sense of extreme danger. His pupils suddenly dilated, and he felt an electric shock on his back. Everything around him seemed to slow down.
Before his body could really react, Yu Gang's fist stopped just as it was touching his skin.
Yu Gang said slowly, "Remember this feeling, remember your body's reaction just now. Next, you can use breathing techniques to try to mobilize your Qi and blood to this level. Once you become familiar with it, you will be able to deliver a blow that surpasses your usual strength."
Chen Chuan slowly calmed his breathing and heartbeat, and then he found that his back was slightly sticky, as if he was sweating. Even though he knew that he could use the second me to transfer the damage and Yu Gang would not really hit him, he still instinctively had a stress reaction, and Yu Gang's fist was too fast, so fast that the second me could not dodge it.
He slowly exhaled and said, "I remember it." He looked up again and asked, "Mr. Yu, what is this move called?"
Yu Gang said, "In the old martial arts system, this move was called the 'Shocking Soul Fist,' shocking both one's own soul and the souls of others. In the new martial arts system, it's called the 'Breaking Limits Strike.' This move isn't limited to straight punches; it can be delivered in any form. But remember when practicing, don't swing in the air. You must have something in front of you to strike, to avoid dislocating your joints. Whether you can master this move is entirely up to you. I'm only here to share the secrets. Okay, go out and practice it yourself, and remember to close the door."
Chen Chuan said yes, and when he walked out to close the door, Yu Gang said, "Also, the money for breaking the sandbags will be put on your account."
Chen Chuan paused and said, "Okay, Mr. Yu." He exchanged money for a powerful skill, and he didn't feel like he lost anything. Instead, he made a profit.
He went down the stairs to the first floor, walked directly in front of a target and stood still, quietly savoring the feeling just now.
This move was not developed through training from shallow to deep, from weak to strong, but was a sudden burst out through shocking oneself.
He had just felt this move, and it was the time when his memory was most profound, so it was a good opportunity to try it out.
However, it is useless to just remember the feeling. You must use breathing techniques to strengthen your qi and blood so that you can deliver this attack at all costs.
He stared at the human target for a while, then suddenly kicked it, causing the human target to shake violently.
He slowly put down his foot. Although he felt that he had found the right spot just now, it was very difficult for him to use breathing techniques to mobilize his qi and blood, as if he encountered a layer of resistance.
Because this move is triggered by a person in a life-or-death situation, and he is not in real danger now, so the body instinctively resists him from doing so.
He couldn't help but think of that night when Mr. Wen asked those patrolmen to try to stand on one leg. Just like then, he now had to compete with himself.
He decided to try again.
He stood still at first, and after a while, a flush suddenly appeared on his face and neck. He moved forward, stepped heavily on the ground, raised his front hand, and with a dull thud, the heavy human target actually jumped up, and even alarmed Lu Ke who was not far away.
He stepped back and took a breath, feeling that something was still missing.
However, as long as you are proficient enough in breathing exercises and combine them with your mind, you will definitely be able to break through that limit.
Just as he was about to try again, Yu Gang's voice came over: "Don't practice this move too much every day. Not only will it put a strain on your body in various aspects, it may also disrupt your normal attack. So stop for now. It's better to fail to practice than to rush."
Chen Chuan couldn't say that he was not afraid of being injured, but since Yu Gang said so, he had to let it go for now and decided to find another opportunity to try after returning.
Lu Ke felt that Chen Chuan's attack was more powerful than ever before. He ran up to check the target and said, "It's okay."
Yu Gang said expressionlessly, "If it breaks, let him pay to fix it."
Lu Ke scratched his head.
Chen Chuanxia didn't dwell on this anymore and decided to continue with normal training. However, after only practicing for a while, he felt dull pain in various parts of his body, and his condition seemed to be worse than usual.
This is probably due to muscle damage and the burden on internal organs.
Even if it overlaps with the second self, the internal damage caused by him will not be actively transferred by the second self. This is because his will is unique and everything within him must be led by himself.
Now that he realized it, his body quickly regained its composure as his mind turned.
After finishing the afternoon's training, he packed up, said goodbye to Yu Gang and Lu Ke, and left the Boxing House.
On the way back, he kept trying to regulate his breathing while running. In fact, he had also tried it repeatedly during the breaks in training in the afternoon. Now, after a while, he guided it again. Suddenly, he seemed to have touched something and felt that he was only one punch away from making that attack.
But at this time there must be a suitable target, and perhaps we should try a few more times while we are still in good condition. Should we turn back now?
It's inappropriate, Yu Gang won't agree.
At this moment, he suddenly thought that there was a Xiujiang Boxing Club not far ahead. Although it was not the one he received the flyer that day, it should be similar and not far away.
He did what he thought and ran towards there quickly.
It only took him five or six minutes to find the boxing club, which was located in the middle of the only commercial street in the west of the city. In front of the door hung a huge billboard with the words "Xiu Jiang" and neon lights flashing on all four sides, making it very eye-catching.
But this is the old district in the west of the city after all, the roads are old, pedestrians and vehicles are usually crowded together, and there are noisy bells and horns everywhere.
He entered through the main entrance of the boxing club. A staircase led up to the second floor, past a lighted screen. Behind it lay a spacious training hall. Bright industrial and mining lights hung from the ceiling. The walls looked like they were unfinished, but the space was immaculately cleaned. Large posters depicting various cool fighting moves were plastered on the walls. At the moment, a dozen or so people were engaged in fitness training, while others, wearing uniform training uniforms and protective gear, exchanged blows.
A young man in his twenties was sitting on a tire chewing a chicken leg. Seeing the unfamiliar face, he quickly swallowed the chicken in his mouth, wiped his hands, looked up and asked, "Young man, do you want to learn boxing?"
Chen Chuan said, "I saw your Xiujiang Boxing Club flyer and heard that you can try it first, so I came to take a look."
The young man said, "Okay, you can take a look yourself first. My name is Liang Fang, everyone here calls me Xiao Liang. But you have to call me when you need to use the equipment. Don't get me wrong, I'm afraid you might get hurt if you use it on your own, so you need someone to watch you."
Chen Chuan took a look, pointed at a sandbag on the side, and said, "Can I use it?"
Xiao Liang said generously, "You can use this as you like."
Just as Chen Chuan was about to walk over, he paused and said, "By the way, if you accidentally break it, I will compensate you."
Xiao Liang looked as if he was joking and said with a glare, "Brother, we are a legitimate boxing gym, not the kind of place that cheats people. Let me put it this way, you can use the punching bag as you please. Our boxing club is open for business to satisfy our customers. As long as you don't come here intentionally to cause trouble, we will accept it if you really break it."
Chen Chuan nodded and said, "Thank you." Then he walked to a corner and tried to punch an empty sandbag a few times.
Xiao Liang took a few glances but didn't take it seriously. Their Xiujiang Boxing Gym was doing pretty well. Many company employees and students from nearby came here to practice boxing, and in the evening there were people watching the fighting sparring inside the gym.
For people like Chen Chuan who are obviously here to see the new things and join in the fun, they don't mind even if he doesn't practice. It can at least increase his popularity, and if more people come, maybe he will become a real customer.
Because there would be more customers in a while, he needed to fill his stomach first, so he went to the side to gnaw on a chicken leg.
Chen Chuan stood in front of the sandbag. He breathed repeatedly and closed his eyes to experience the feeling. When he felt that state appeared again, he suddenly opened his eyes and punched it!
Half an hour later.
"Damn it, someone must have poked it with something. Don't let me catch them!" Xiao Liang was cursing.
There was a small tear on the sandbag in front of him. It didn't look very noticeable from the outside, but if someone hadn't seen sand leaking out while punching him later, it would have been difficult to find.
At this time, a coach from the boxing club happened to pass by. After hearing it, he looked at it in surprise. He didn't take this little thing seriously at first, but when he glanced at the sand under the sandbag, he suddenly felt something was wrong, so he walked over here.
Xiao Liang saw him and quickly greeted him, "Coach Gu."
Coach Gu stepped forward and stretched out his hand to pull the other side of the sandbag over, only to see a broken hole the size of a fist on the back of the sandbag, from which sand was leaking.
"Here, I'm going to..."
Xiao Liang was a little surprised. He knew at a glance that the power exploded from the inside, and immediately realized that it couldn't have been punctured by something.
Coach Gu looked at the hole, his expression becoming more serious. Normally, only someone with great strength could pull off a blow like this, but why would he do this? It didn't seem like a provocation.
He asked, "Who has used this sandbag?"
Xiao Liang thought for a moment, slapped his head, and said, "I remember the first one was a handsome young man who looked like a student. He even asked me if the sandbags would be broken. That's right, it must be him!"
Coach Gu thought, "A student... could he be from Wuhan University?" He said, "If that person comes again, please let me know." He added, "Be polite to him."
Xiao Liang agreed with a grunt, then added, "Coach Gu, don't you know me? I'm polite to everyone, right?"
At this moment, Chen Chuan had already returned home. He was still a little excited because he had finally succeeded in his attempt to break the limit.
He also realized that the reason why he mastered it so quickly was because in his cognition, he paid almost no price for relying on the second self. This was not a hypnotic deception, but a real fact. Coupled with an afternoon of continuous practice, his will was finally implemented in his body.
Unfortunately, I was not able to break the sandbags in the boxing gym like Yu Gang. It was probably because the sandbags there were of good quality and my strength was not enough. It seems that I need to strengthen my training in the future.
