"When did my seventy-two little master become so powerful?" Guo Furong also said in surprise.
She was the one who passed down the skill of Little Capture to Xiang Nan, and this skill was indeed a popular one. It was far from being considered a superior martial art, and it was far inferior to Jingtao Palm.
But it was really unexpected for her that such a small grappler could break the Tiger Claw Fist so easily.
Bai Zhantang saw the reason from the sidelines.
Xiang Nan is indeed a master of Seventy-Two. The reason why he can restrain Tong Shitou every time with one move is mainly because he is too fast.
The so-called martial arts in the world are invincible, except speed.
Although Tong Shitou was the first to attack, Xiang Nan was the last to attack, and his strikes were like lightning. Tong Shitou was already restrained by him before he could change his tactics.
Moreover, Bai Zhantang also saw that the Qinggong movement technique used by Xiang Nan was exactly his family's tradition of walking in the snow to look for plum blossoms.
Unexpectedly, Xiang Nan had only practiced for two months and had already reached such a high level. He was really talented and admired him.
…
"Are you coming yet?" Xiang Nan asked Tong Shitou again.
"Come on, I don't believe it. I can't even catch a single move." Tong Shitou was nervous and insisted on continuing the competition.
Xiang Nan didn’t refuse either.
He only saw three moves of the Tong Family's Tiger Claw Fist. It was indeed fierce, fierce, sharp and swift. Even if it was not as good as the twenty-four unique skills of Shaolin, it could still be considered a good boxing technique with its own uniqueness and merits.
It's just that Tong Shitou hasn't learned enough yet, and he hasn't even developed his internal strength.
There are two schools of internal strength cultivation. One is from the inside out. For example, Xiang Nan practiced the Rama magic skill through meditation and breath control;
One is from the outside in, such as the Huashan Sect in "Blue Blood Sword". Its Hunyuan Palm is from the outside to the inside, cultivating internal energy in the palm technique.
Those who practice from the inside out are called internal practitioners; those who practice from the outside in are called external practitioners. There is no distinction between internal and external practitioners who are higher or lower, and they can all reach the pinnacle of perfection after practice.
For example, Hong Qigong in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is the top of his family. His Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms are the most powerful palm techniques in the world designated by Jin Yong. Wang Chongyang, the king of supernatural powers, is the top of the inner circle. His Quanzhen sect's inner strength is from the inside out, and he is also praised by Jin Yong as the authentic Taoist sect.
Tong Shitou's ancestral Tiger Claw Boxing is a good outer martial art, second only to Shaolin's Twenty-Four Special Skills. When you have achieved some success through practice, you should be able to develop your internal strength.
Just like in "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng", Dong Tianbao has never learned the internal skills and mental methods. However, through secretly learning Prajna Palm, he still developed superb internal strength and could make the head of Bodhidharma Academy vomit blood with one palm.
It can be seen from this that Tong Shitou is really not a master of martial arts. With his strength, he still wants to make a career in the world. It is like playing a lantern in a manhole - looking for death!
…
Tong Shitou continued to use tiger claw fist to compete with Xiang Nan.
Even though he used the full set of Thirty-Six Tiger Claw Fists, without exception, he was subdued by Xiang Nan with the same trick. He couldn't dodge or dodge, which made Tong Shitou depressed to death.
"Shitou, you see, you can't even defeat the policemen in our town, so you should stop thinking about making a career in the world." Tong Xiangyu advised after seeing this.
Tong Shitou was extremely depressed and said angrily, "Don't break in, don't break in. You can't even beat the grasping hand with the Tiger Claw Fist, so our dad knows how to boast. After he goes back, he will join another master and learn from it." Put some effort into it.”
He originally thought that he had mastered Tiger Claw Fist and could be considered at least a first-rate master in the arena. As a result, he couldn't even defeat a policeman, and he was completely manipulated by others and applauded.
He doesn't blame himself for not practicing well, he just blames the Tiger Claw Fist for not being strong enough. Even after practicing to a high level, I still can't beat the master of the Seventy-Two Small Grasps. It's really a bad boxing technique.
"What are you talking about?" Tong Xiangyu said angrily after hearing what he said.
It was jarring for her to have her family's secret knowledge be belittled in such a way by her younger brother.
"Tong Shaoxia, your family's Tiger Claw Fist is actually very powerful, but it's a pity that you haven't mastered it yet." Xiang Nan said to Tong Shitou, and then used a move [Black Tiger Heart Removal].
He stretched out his five fingers, as sharp as steel hooks, and inserted them into the brick wall. When he pulled them back, he pulled out a red brick. Looking again, he saw that his fingers were an inch deep into the brick.
When everyone saw this, they were all surprised.
Red bricks are made of clay and have a hard and compact texture. Xiang Nan was able to insert an inch deep, which shows that he has great external skills. His fingers are as hard and sharp as steel hooks, so inserting red bricks is like inserting rotten soil.
If someone is arrested, they may be captured with their skin and flesh together.
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but shudder.
Tong Shitou was even more surprised.
Xiang Nan's Black Tiger Heart-Drawing Style is standard, fierce and powerful. It is exactly the Tiger Claw Fist passed down in his family.
However, the power of the Tiger Claw Fist used by Xiang Nan was far beyond his reach.
"When your finger strength reaches this level, who else will be your opponent?" Xiang Nan handed the red brick to Tong Shitou.
Tong Shitou saw that Xiang Nan also used the Tiger Claw Fist, but it was ten or a hundred times more powerful than him. He couldn't help but blush with shame.
He took the red brick with five finger holes, gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Li, I understand. After I go back, I must practice hard. When will I be able to insert my forehead so deep into the red brick, and then my forehead will come out again?" Make your way in the world.”
"Okay, knowing shame is almost courageous." Xiang Nan encouraged him, "If you can realize your own shortcomings and work hard to make progress, you will still be a talented person!"
"Well said." Bai Zhantang, Guo Furong, and Lu Xiucai applauded together.
…
Tong Shitou went home willingly.
"Thank you, Big Mouth." Tong Xiangyu said gratefully to Xiang Nan.
If he hadn't knocked off Tong Shitou's arrogance, he might still be thinking wildly now.
"You're welcome, shopkeeper." Xiang Nan smiled.
"Big Mouth is good at martial arts. If I fight you head-on, I'm afraid I won't be able to match you." Bai Zhantang also sighed with emotion.
Hearing what he said, Xiang Nan smiled.
Bai Zhantang is proficient in Qinggong and acupuncture. He is agile and not good at direct confrontation. If he really thought he could beat him, he would be too naive.
After Tong Shitou left, Xiang Nan continued to practice.
His training method still involves using the fierce and domineering Toad Kung Fu to impact and widen the meridians, and then using the Rama Magic Kung Fu to repair the damaged meridians.
Through previous experiments, he has confirmed that Rama's magical power can repair meridians. In this case, he would risk it all.
If it is not broken, it cannot be established. After breaking, it is established. His martial arts training speed is greatly accelerated.
But there is a little trouble. During the period between breaking and standing, Xiang Nan's body has been relatively weak.
After all, many meridians in his body were broken by the Toad Kung Fu, which was equivalent to serious internal injuries. Before being repaired by the Rama Kung Fu, he was basically like a useless person.
Just like Hong Qigong, who was defeated by Ouyang Feng in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". Although he can walk, move, eat and drink, and looks like an ordinary person, he cannot exert any of his abilities.
Xiang Nan is like this now.
Fortunately, Qixia Town has always been safe and sound, and his reputation has long been established, so even though he became a useless person, no one knew about it, let alone provoked him rashly.
