The next day, Tong Huajin taught Xiang Yan how to practice "Dragon Roaring Iron Shirt". "Long Yin Iron Shirt" is a very authentic and superior Kung Fu, but its cultivation speed is very slow. The difficulty of practicing "Dragon's Iron Cloth Shirt" is that every time you exercise for a week, 90% of the condensed internal energy must be dispersed to strengthen the body, leaving only 10% to return to the Dantian. In this way, the speed of accumulating internal energy is only one-tenth of that of a normal practitioner of internal energy. In terms of internal strength alone, ten years of hard work is only equivalent to one year of cultivation for others.
It is so difficult to accumulate internal strength, but strengthening the body is a bottomless pit. Even if you practice to the point where your muscles are like strings, your joints are ringing, and your skin is trembling, such as the "Dragon Roar Iron Cloth Shirt", your defense is actually very average. Even if it can't block sharp weapons like steel swords, it can't block the heavy attacks of internal strength masters. In the final analysis, it is still because the human body is too fragile. If you want to cultivate to the point where you can use a hard-top knife to chop, sword, and stab, you don't know how much effort it will take.
The practice speed of "Dragon's Iron Cloth Shirt" is so slow, no matter how high your talent and understanding are, it will take at least twenty or thirty years of hard work before you can achieve anything. But the "Long Yin Iron Cloth Shirt" was not created by Jianghu figures, but by the generals' disciples. Zhou Tong's disciples, such as Lu Junyi, Lin Chong, Yue Fei, etc., were all military generals in the court, and none of them were figures in the world.
A man in the martial arts world can say, "I will not leave the martial arts world for thirty years. I will wait until I have mastered martial arts in thirty years before I can walk around the world again." After mastering Kung Fu, will you serve your country loyally and fight on the battlefield?" In desperation, Zhou Tong had to create a quick fix for the "Long Yin Iron Clothes" using medicinal baths. Although those who practice the quick method will definitely not reach the supreme state of "invulnerability to swords and bullets, and invulnerability to all poisons", it is enough to save lives on the battlefield.
After Tong Huajin learned that Xiang Yan had learned "Long Yin Iron Shirt", he found many precious medicinal materials for Xiang Yan to take a medicinal bath and helped Xiang Yan practice his martial arts. Xiang Yan felt very melancholy: "I originally went south to repay Ren Yingying's favor, but now I have done nothing. I have also learned a lot from Tong Huajin and spent countless precious medicinal materials from Tong Huajin. Now I owe I have more favors. How can I repay them then?"
A few months later, Tong Huajin took Xiang Yan to a restaurant in Hangzhou and said to a middle-aged man standing guard in front of the restaurant: "Shopkeeper Zhao, we are here." Shopkeeper Zhao looked at Xiang Yan with a strange look on his face and pointed at Xiang Yan. He said, "Mr. Tong, is it him?" Tong Huajin nodded and said, "Yes. It's him." Shopkeeper Zhao shook his head and said, "It's up to you! But Mr. Tong, I'm afraid you're going to have to bleed."
Tong Huajin smiled and said nothing. Xiang Yan was full of doubts: "What are they talking about?" Shopkeeper Zhao led Xiang Wentian and Xiang Yan into the hotel. Tong Huajin whispered to Xiang Yan: "Don't talk nonsense, follow your orders and do things." Xiang Yan nodded. . Xiang Yan followed shopkeeper Zhao and Tong Huajin to the circular garden of the restaurant. There was a ring in the garden.
Shopkeeper Zhao led Xiang Yan onto the ring, clasped his fists in all directions as a salute, and said: "Everyone, there are rumors in the world that people from the north are good at martial arts, while people from the south are romantic." He pointed to Xiang Yan again and said, "But today, I am in Juyuanju. Invite a hero to meet the heroes of the world. Whether he is a hero from the north or a talented man from the south, if you are confident in your skills, you can come on stage and give it a try."
"Everyone, this is a friendly challenge. To avoid bloodshed, only fists and feet will be competed, not weapons. At the same time, Juyuanju will also give away prizes. If the challenger defeats the challenger, the challenger's meal will be free of charge. Of course, If the challenge fails, the challenger needs to pay a challenge fee of one or two silver coins."
There was a burst of laughter from all around, and one person said: "Shopkeeper Zhao, the hero you are talking about is the kid next to you?" Shopkeeper Zhao said with a smile: "If Mr. Zhang is interested, Mr. Zhang can go on stage and give it a try. If Mr. Zhang wins, , then Mr. Zhang’s meal money will be considered as the shop’s money.” There was another burst of laughter from all around.
Mr. Zhang snorted and said: "Who is my identity? How can I fight with that kid? Tong Kun, go and try that kid's kung fu." There was a tall man with gnarled muscles and huge palms and thick fingers. The big man walked up and said to Xiang Yan with a ferocious smile: "Don't worry, kid, I won't hurt you." Xiang Yan looked at Tong Kun's burly figure and his heart went numb. He forced a smile and said, "Thank you for your mercy, uncle." ." There was another burst of laughter from all around.
Tong Kun rushed towards Xiang Yan, but Xiang Yan sideways dodged, feeling a little relieved. He dodged several punches from Tong Kun and was completely relieved: "This Tong Kun doesn't seem to have any martial arts skills. He just looks like a street gangster fighting. Although he has a tall body and no idea of his strength, his speed is too slow. I can easily avoid his blows. And as long as I can't hit myself, no matter how strong I am, it's useless."
The diners around him began to boo, and Mr. Zhang also shouted: "Tong Kun, don't embarrass me!" Tong Kun's face turned red, and he punched Yan again at a faster speed. Xiang Yan avoided Tong Kun's fist and stretched out his foot to trip him up. There was another round of laughter all around.
Throughout the morning, a total of seventeen people took the stage to challenge Xiang Yan. Xiang Yan had a total of fifteen wins and two losses, and he felt quite proud: "It seems that my skills are not bad."
