37: Dragon and Tiger Strength

"My father asked me to wait here for Steward Chen and take you to the Martial Arts Training Hall once you arrived."

"Then I will trouble you to lead the way." Chen Heng had already put the matter of the little old man calling him uncle just now out of his mind.

His mind was now completely filled with that move, 'Dragon Tiger Strength', that Qi Longhu had used earlier.

This kind of pure strength-based Martial Skill held a tremendous attraction for Chen Heng.

If Dragon Tiger Strength and Eight Extremes Fist were combined together, how great would the power be?

Before the two of them even reached the Martial Arts Training Hall, they could already hear dull thuds of 'bang, bang, bang'.

"Uncle Chen, you should go over yourself; I won't be going." The little old man glanced at the Martial Arts Training Hall not far away and turned to leave quickly.

It was as if there were some terrifying beast inside that Martial Arts Training Hall.

"Inexplicable." Chen Heng shook his head and walked into the Martial Arts Training Hall impatiently.

There was only Qi Longhu in the Martial Arts Training Hall; he was shirtless, punching and kicking a refined steel wooden dummy.

"You're here?" Qi Longhu turned his head to look at Chen Heng, stopping his devastation of the refined steel wooden dummy.

"Don't waste words, spar with me first!" Qi Longhu crooked his finger at Chen Heng, his Qi and blood surging throughout his body.

"Alright." Chen Heng didn't waste words either, taking off his top to reveal a body of lean, strong muscles.

"What's this, you're not using your blade today?" Qi Longhu looked Chen Heng up and down but couldn't find any trace of the black fiend blade on him.

"No need, I realized a brand new fist technique from the Five-Step Fist yesterday, and I just happen to need you to test it out."

Chen Heng set up the opening stance of the Eight Extremes Fist and tilted his chin at Qi Longhu.

"Bragging without drafting." Qi Longhu laughed heartily, not taking Chen Heng's words seriously.

No matter how much of a Genius you are, it's impossible to realize a brand new fist technique from scratch in one night.

"Whether I'm bragging or not, you'll know once you try."

Chen Heng was quite confident.

What's more, this was a spar, not a life-and-death duel; the Eight Vajra Forms were already sufficient.

"Alright! Then this old man will test your new fist technique!"

Qi Longhu stomped his feet and swiftly approached Chen Heng.

In an instant, the two were already face to face.

Qi Longhu's fists rained down like raindrops, but Chen Heng blocked them one by one.

Although it was a pure collision of flesh between the two, it produced the crisp sound of metal striking metal.

"Good lad, such progress in just one night?" Qi Longhu became more and more alarmed as he fought; is this kid a monster?

Although he hadn't even used thirty percent of his strength, this Chen Heng was still a novice who didn't know any fist techniques yesterday.

Just at the moment Qi Longhu was surprised, Chen Heng seized this fleeting opening.

"Dragon Subduing!"

With the back of his hand facing up, power was transmitted from his waist to his palm.

Qi and blood surged, with over thirty percent of his Qi and blood gathering on the back of his hand.

With a dull 'bang', Qi Longhu's lower stance became unstable, and he was struck into mid-air by Chen Heng.

"Damn it!" Qi Longhu knew well that once his feet left the ground, he would lose the power to resist, so he had to tense all his muscles to prepare a defensive posture.

One must know that the Eight Vajra Forms of the Eight Extremes Fist is a set of flowing, seamless combo moves.

Chen Heng also seized this opportunity, bringing the entire set of Eight Vajra Forms down on Qi Longhu.

"Prop Hammer!"

A heavy straight punch slammed into Qi Longhu's chest, making his already unstable form even looser.

"Dragon Subduing!"

"Tiger Taming!"

The continuous upward strikes and downward slams left Qi Longhu with no power to fight back.

"Mountain Splitting Palm!"

This palm strike could be said to be extremely ruthless, landing solidly on Qi Longhu's ear.

Instantly, the Tongxuan Martial Artist Qi Longhu felt stars dancing before his eyes, and his ears were buzzing.

"This kid has such a ruthless fist technique; he actually combined fist techniques and palm techniques!?"

Although his head was buzzing, these few hits didn't actually injure Qi Longhu.

"Trapping Embrace Palm!"

Before Qi Longhu could recover his senses, Chen Heng locked him up with a Trapping Embrace Palm.

"Mountain Climbing Scout Horse Palm!"

"Crane Step Push!"

After finishing the set of flowing Eight Vajra Forms, white steam was rising from Chen Heng's entire body.

On the bluestone floor, one pit after another had been stomped out by Chen Heng when he exerted his force.

In contrast, Qi Longhu was currently planted head-first into the ground.

"You brat, you're lying to this old man, aren't you!"

Pulling himself out of the ground, Qi Longhu looked at the steaming Chen Heng, furious.

"This set of fist techniques is absolutely not something that can be learned in one night!"

"Even if learned, it would just be for show; it's impossible to use in actual combat!"

"Speak! Are you intentionally taking revenge on this old man?"

"To tell you the truth, I really did research this fist technique myself last night." Chen Heng shrugged and sat cross-legged beside Qi Longhu.

"Of course it's fast to learn if I researched it myself; one night is enough."

Chen Heng was a standard competitor who could brag without blushing.

His skin was so thick that even an anti-tank sniper rifle couldn't penetrate it.

"This old man will just pretend you learned it yesterday." Qi Longhu patted the dust off himself and stood up from the ground.

"Come on, the warm-up is about done; I will teach you how to use Dragon Tiger Strength now."

Qi Longhu put his hands behind his back, looking like a master.

It might look more like it if he could brush the gravel off his head.

"Calling Dragon Tiger Strength a Martial Skill isn't accurate; it should be called a technique for exerting force."

Qi Longhu began to explain Dragon Tiger Strength to Chen Heng.

"By vibrating Qi and blood, you combine Internal Skill with Qi and blood and concentrate them in one place."

Qi Longhu extended his right hand and shook it vigorously.

His right arm visibly thickened by a circle, and the blood-red Qi and blood seemed about to burst out of his body.

"Theoretically, this technique has no upper limit."

Dispersing the Qi and blood and Internal Skill on his arm, Qi Longhu sighed.

"It's a pity my own physical strength is limited; I can use at most three times the force."

"If your physical strength is even stronger than mine, perhaps you could use four, five, or even six times the force!"

Qi Longhu stared intently at Chen Heng.

"I haven't really practiced hard qigong myself, and at this age, I can't train it anymore."

"But you are different; you are proficient in both strength and hard qigong."

"You will definitely be able to surpass me in the future."

"Come, try it according to what I said."

After introducing Dragon Tiger Strength, Qi Longhu began to teach Chen Heng step-by-step to try it out.

"First, concentrate your Qi and blood into one arm."

"Don't use too much, twenty percent is enough."

"Right, just like that."

"Then mobilize your Internal Skill..."

One hour later, Chen Heng finally basically mastered how to use Dragon Tiger Strength.

This technique wasn't difficult to learn, but the requirements for physical strength were too high.

Even for Chen Heng, he could only use three times the force, just like Qi Longhu.

"Your Internal Skill is too gentle; otherwise, the power could be further improved."

Qi Longhu frowned as he looked Chen Heng up and down.

"There's no other way; my family hasn't been martial artists for generations. It's already good enough that they could get me an Internal Skill manual."

Chen Heng had no choice, and the Nine Revolutions Longevity Art wasn't a killing technique either.

Its main focus was on rest and recuperation, living to be eight hundred years old.

"You are still in the Transformation Force stage; once you reach the Breakthrough to Tongxuan, you should be able to use four times the force."

Qi Longhu roughly estimated Chen Heng's strength after reaching Tongxuan.

He suddenly discovered that this kid could already fight him to a draw while in the Transformation Force stage.

Then once he reaches Tongxuan, wouldn't he beat him into the ground?

"Big Brother Qi, since I have already learned Dragon Tiger Strength, when will you teach me Dragon Tiger Savage Strength?"

Chen Heng looked at Qi Longhu with a face full of anticipation.
