"Taiji, born from Wuji, is the mother of Yin and Yang. When it moves, it separates; when it's still, it's united. When it moves quickly, it responds quickly; when it moves slowly, it follows slowly. Although it's ever-changing, it's the same principle. "
Junior Leopard had never understood the Taiji Skill.
In his previous life, he was a civil servant, so he didn't know anything about martial arts or martial arts. He learned Taiji to keep fit, and to please the leaders. He knew nothing about martial arts. In order to flatter the leaders, he memorized the essence of Taiji Skill. It was like a four-year-old reciting the Three-Character Classic. He didn't know the meaning of the skill at all.
Until he came to this world and met Wang Tianlei, he learned some punching skills and Internal Strength, and inadvertently discovered the wonderful effect of Taiji Skill, so he got a great advantage. But it was just an advantage. It didn't mean that he really understood Taiji Skill. At most, it was because he had Internal Qi that he could display the real function of Taiji Skill.
Wang Tianlei's strength was good, but at most, he was just a Level Two fighter. To put it bluntly, a Level Two fighter just touched the threshold of martial arts. Junior Leopard got limited knowledge from him. He only learned the mental cultivation method of Internal Strength and two sets of punching skills. He practiced in a muddled way, and now he had some small achievements. But these achievements were only reflected in his strength. He only knew how it was, but didn't know why it was. He didn't know the real truth of punching skills. Therefore, he would never understand the truth of martial arts contained in this skill.
But now it was different. He had Old Xing to guide him. Although Old Xing didn't pass the second round of the Wu's selection and become an inner core disciple, he could be regarded as one of the elite disciples of the Wu's. The strength of the elite disciples of well-known families like the Wu's couldn't be compared with Wang Tianlei, who came from the army.
Wang Tianlei had only learned a few punching skills, but no one had ever taught him the principle of punching. In the Wu Family, there were special instructors to teach these elite disciples the principle of punching. It could be said that only Old Xing could be regarded as a real martial artist who had entered the threshold of the martial arts world.
The Wild Hammering Skill was a unique martial art that the ancestor of the Wu Family comprehended from the way of smithing and smelting. Although Old Xing only knew the most basic first nine moves, these nine moves almost contained all the essence of the Wild Hammering Skill. In fact, perhaps no one would think that when the Wild Hammering Skill reached the advanced level, it would be the most basic first nine moves that combined into one to kill the Skybreaker Hammer.
Of course, none of this could be known by Junior Leopard now, nor could a craftsman of Old Xing's status.
Now, the Nine Moves of Hammering Skill brought Junior Leopard two benefits. One was his smithing skills. The Wild Hammering Skill was condensed from the way of smithing and smelting. After practicing it, naturally his smithing skills would be greatly improved. The second was his Taiji Fist.
There were four kinds of hammering skills in Taiji Fist, namely Moving Hammer, Draping Hammer, Elbow Bottom Hammer, Hitting the Ground Hammer, and Finger Crotch Hammer. In the past, Junior Leopard didn't know martial arts, not to mention hammering skills. The biggest benefit of Taiji Fist was that it could help him purify and evolve his Internal Qi, but that was all.
Now, after integrating the Nine Moves of Hammering Skill, his Taiji Fist initially had the ability to attack. That was to say, for him, Taiji Fist was not only limited to the practice of body, but could also become a means of attack. Of course, the power was still very small, but it was enough for Junior Leopard.
"Whew —!" Slowly withdrawing his Taiji stance, Junior Leopard felt as if his whole body had just been immersed in water. He carefully experienced the feeling of body and mind as one when he was practicing Taiji Fist and the hammering skill. His face revealed a little excitement.
"I see. The hammering skill of Taiji is evolved from the ordinary hammering skill. In this case, some of the punching and kicking skills in Taiji actually have a strong attacking power. It's just that my understanding of the fist intent is not deep enough. In time, if I can master the whole Taiji Fist, then my strength will definitely improve rapidly!"
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be happy, "I don't know when Old Xing will come back. He said he would teach me the punching skill of Bone Forging. The Wu's is really a big well-known family. People at Old Xing's level are actually qualified to practice the punching skill of Bone Forging. Although he said the punching skill of Bone Forging he practiced is not up to standard, it's better than nothing. Besides, the punching skill of Skin Toughening he taught me is much better than Dark Bear Fist. Unfortunately, my body has reached the limit of this age, so I can't use it now!" As he thought about it, he looked at his wet clothes and couldn't help but laugh. "Forget it, don't think so much. I'll take a shower and go to bed early!"
"I don't know what Old Xing is thinking. Those guys didn't reach the standard at all, so I'll take them in!" Junior Leopard walked toward the room where the apprentices rested, thinking as he walked.
He was the first one to break through the pile with a hammer, so he was the first one to move into the room for apprentices.
The conditions here were much better than the big bunk where he lived before. There were four people in a room, each had his own bed, and four people shared a table. He lived here alone for more than two months, and looking at the progress of other apprentices, he thought that at least within a year, this room would still belong to him.
But he didn't expect that after Old Xing left for more than two months, he would unexpectedly let seven apprentices in. Although the performance of these seven apprentices was the best among the group of apprentices, after all, they didn't meet the previous requirements of Old Xing, which made Junior Leopard very confused. What happened next made him feel even more strange.
When there were others present, Old Xing treated him the same as he treated others, and was even very strict with him. Occasionally, he would find fault with him. But in private, he often looked for Junior Leopard, asked about his cultivation, and guided him very conscientiously.
This made Junior Leopard feel a little uneasy.
Did he get into trouble and want to disassociate himself from me? That's why he acted like this?!
This was the only explanation for Old Xing's different attitude towards him. But Old Xing was already one of the top figures in the Wu's ironware shop in Qingyang Market. In Qingyang Market, there were not many people who could make trouble for him. Could it be Butler Lin?
No, Butler Lin was the boss of the Wu's ironware shop in name, but he could only be responsible for the sales. He couldn't manage the affairs in the backyard. And recently, he was also very worried, just like Old Xing.
Did these two guys get into trouble at the same time?!
This question had been entangled in his heart since Old Xing and Butler Lin came back. However, he could barely be regarded as an open-minded person. If he could not figure it out, he would not force it. Therefore, he just muttered it in his heart for a few times and then stopped thinking about it.
After a few steps, he arrived at the door of the room. Opening the door, he found that the three people living with him were all asleep.
Junior Leopard walked in quietly and took out a wooden bucket. He walked to the well in the center of the yard and began to take a bath.
He used to practice Taiji Fist in the house, but since the three people lived with him, he had to find another place. Now, he practiced under the cover of a rockery in the backyard of my ironware shop.
These days, he had comprehended some of the mysteries of Taiji Fist from the Wild Hammering Skill. His heart was very clear and happy, so he felt very happy when he took a shower. If he was not afraid of disturbing others in the dead of night, he even wanted to sing a song at the top of his voice.
"Boom!"
Just when Junior Leopard was most comfortable in his bath, a loud sound exploded in his ears. Junior Leopard suddenly shivered and looked up. He gave a strange cry, threw the bucket, turned around and ran.
As he ran, he shouted, "Help! Help! Murder! Murder —!"
The shrill cry pierced the sky and broke the silence of the whole Qingyang Market.
