Chapter Twenty-Three: The Fierce Dragon



Two of the three tigers of the British Associated Press have been taken down by Yang Sheng, and now the strongest one, White-headed Tiger Zuo Kun, has made his move. This can definitely be called a battle between dragons and tigers.

Instead of retreating, Yang Sheng advanced, his feet firmly planted, and his fists flew like cannons, unleashing a sudden burst of power!

Xingyi Cannon Fist!

The clash between their fists, a powerful impact that gave the illusion of a hammer striking another metal object, was so intense that it resembled the impact of two iron hammers.

Yang Sheng and Zuo Kun both felt a tremendous force coming at them. They both took a step back almost simultaneously and then collided with each other again, their fists hitting each other hard and their palms colliding.

Zuo Kun's Tongbei Piguazhang is unparalleled in its power and ferocity, and he possesses rich practical experience, deeply understanding the essence of the four phrases of Tongbei Piguazhang:

If you walk in front of me, I'll walk beside you; if you walk beside me, I'll walk straight ahead. If you are fierce and ruthless, I'll rush towards you with all my might, like a thunderbolt or a cannonball striking my hand!

With both arms and two fists, he slashed and swept, like a heavy hammer and spear, his momentum soaring as he forced Yang Sheng all the way to the edge of the ring.

Just as Zuo Kun swung his arms down in a series of strikes, Yang Sheng suddenly lowered his body, transforming his form into Tai Chi, turning hardness into softness.

Using the Tai Chi Cloud Hands technique to borrow and deflect force, the entire body takes advantage of the momentum to crash into Zuo Kun's central palace, unleashing a half-step Beng Quan (a type of explosive punch) with sudden force!

Zuo Kun's face flushed red from Yang Sheng's unexpected attack. He groaned and his steps became unsteady.

Previously, Yang Sheng's style was also the extremely fierce Northern style of boxing, and he could even fight back against Zuo Kun with an offensive approach. The two were no longer competing in terms of the level of Chinese martial arts, but simply in terms of physical strength.

Zuo Kun, being tall and long-armed, used his physical advantage to push Yang Sheng to the edge of the ring, but he also fell into this rhythm.

He never expected that Yang Sheng could so smoothly switch from hard to soft, catching him completely off guard!

At that moment, Yang Sheng also heard a cold, mechanical voice that was neither male nor female.

"Mastery of traditional Chinese martial arts improved by 2%, for a total of 92%."

This specialization is a form of self-enlightenment, which can be retained even after leaving the cycle of reincarnation.

Yang Sheng had studied Chinese martial arts for several years before, but what he actually learned was not only Chinese martial arts, but also other fighting and killing techniques, which are simply killing techniques for revenge.

It's difficult to achieve great success in martial arts with this mindset, because what he's always pursuing is revenge, not ultimate, absolute power.

After entering the world of reincarnation, Yang Sheng avenged his great enemy and was free from his obsessions. Moreover, after experiencing the battles, he gained a deeper understanding of the martial arts he had learned before, and his expertise in them naturally improved.

Just like that instantaneous shift from hardness to softness, and then from softness to hardness, Xingyi Taiji has reached a state of perfection, with a significant improvement in understanding.

The prompt from the reincarnation system did not slow Yang Sheng down; he seized the opportunity to engage in close-quarters combat.

Choy Li Fut! Iron Arrow Fist!

Bajiquan! Heart-Piercing Elbow!

Xingyiquan! Drilling Horizontal Cannon!

Tai Chi! The "Ban Lan Chui" (Parry and Chop) technique!

He switched between several styles of boxing at will, combining hardness and softness, and his punches were unrestrained. This time, it was Zuo Kun who was forced into a corner of the ring.

Zuo Kun suddenly leaned back, his body actually pushing the ropes of the boxing ring back half a meter.

Tongbei Pigua is a long fist style, where the longer the fist, the stronger it is. The arms are like iron whips, and the force is swift and long. It requires a certain distance to unleash its maximum power.

Previously, Zuo Kun had been suppressed by Yang Sheng's continuous punches, but now that he had created half a meter of distance, he had a chance to regain his strength.

With arms held upright, the force of his movements, both exhaling and spitting out, is like an iron whip striking down.

The twisting force of the lumbar spine is like the shaking of a large spear.

The two moves in one strike were aimed directly at Yang Sheng's head and chest!

Tongbei Sanyuan Hand! Chasing Wind Hand! Single Chop Hand!

A strong gust of wind rushed towards him. Yang Sheng stepped back with his feet crossed, narrowly avoiding the two attacks. At the same time, he launched a series of flying kicks with both legs. The huge force directly flipped Zuo Kun off the stage!

Just then, Yang Sheng suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Zuo Kun's legs, and pulled him back onto the stage.

After Zuo Kun stopped, he let out a long breath with a flushed face and said, "Jade Ring Step! Mandarin Duck Leg! I didn't expect you to know the Chuojiao School's kung fu!"

There aren't many people in Hong Kong who are proficient in Northern-style martial arts, and you're definitely in the top three! This fight was quite exciting!

Thank you for giving me face and not letting me fall off the stage and lose too badly.

Yang Sheng, the Fierce Dragon, truly lives up to his name!

"I admire your kung fu skills, and I also admire Brother Chai Jiu's ability to judge people."

Yang Sheng took a slight breath and said, "You're too kind. You didn't even use the most ruthless 'Entangling Forehead Hand' from the Tongbei Sanyuan Hand technique. It was just one move and two styles."

Oh, and please give my thanks to Brother Chai Jiu for speaking up for me at my old post last time.

Zuo Kun nodded, then suddenly said, "Yang Sheng, it's such a waste to have your skills at Hong Sheng Lian."

Switch to my British Associated Press! You can choose from the top executives in Yau Tsim Mong, Hong Kong, and Taiwan!

The "Three Tigers" of the British Associated Press are no more as of today, but the names of the "Dragon" and "Tiger" are definitely more resounding than before!

Yang Sheng smiled, shook his head and said, "Brother Chai Jiu said something similar to me back then, and my answer today is the same."

One must never forget one's roots; my commitment to Hong Shenglian is to see things through to the end.

Seeing Yang Sheng's refusal, Zuo Kun only sighed regretfully and did not press the matter further.

He then looked at Song Changli and said in a deep voice, "Grandmaster Song, I have lost this round."

Song Changli was the head of the Weiyuan Hall, a direct descendant of the Hongmen. The Yinglian Society also belonged to the Hongmen lineage, but Chai Hongtu's seniority was lower than Song Changli's, so Zuo Kun had to call him his grandmaster.

The standard for winning the Dragon City Championship is that one side either has no resistance or is knocked out of the ring.

Theoretically, Zuo Kun could still continue fighting, but at this point, there's no need for him to continue.

Song Changli nodded, gave Yang Sheng and Zuo Kun a rather approving look, and said loudly, "Hong Sheng and Yang Sheng, another victory!"

He was an old-school martial arts figure, and he admired the relationship between Zuo Kun and Yang Sheng, who fought fiercely in the ring but respected each other off the ring.

The gazes of the many people below the arena as they looked at Yang Sheng also subtly changed.

Yang Sheng's reputation as a fierce dragon is well-deserved, as he single-handedly took down two of the three tigers of the British Associated Press and defeated the strongest, White-headed Tiger Zuo Kun.

Even though he came from a sunset triad like Hung Shing Lian, Yang Sheng's name still made his way among all the triads in Hong Kong.
