209: Chapter 206 Cannon Fist

"Li! You're the best! I realize I was wrong! I don't think you should participate in bodybuilding competitions, right! I know why you refused to participate in bodybuilding competitions now.

Tell me the truth, are you a boxer?" Coach Bob hurriedly scrambled to the ropes, excited, and even whistled loudly, looking as excited as a child.

"I'm not a boxer, and I'm not planning to participate in any competitions."

Li Changsheng waved his hand dismissively and pointed at the pile of people, "Have someone take care of this, and besides, you know they started the trouble!"

"Right! These bastards are just too detestable!" Coach Bob didn't care at all; anyway, the FBI was coming, and they would only be on their side.

After all, in the eyes of the FBI, Little Black had long been rotten to the core, and this group of people deserved to be taught a lesson.

Coach Bob was just about to ask Li Changsheng why he didn't box, given his excellent physical condition.

But he noticed that Li had arrived at the corner of the Boxing area at some point, right in front of a reflex ball, also known as a magic Boxing ball or speed ball.

At this moment, Li Changsheng was throwing punch after punch at this reflex ball.

Coach Bob watched, unable to help but mutter to himself.

"This Li, still claiming he's not a boxer, yet he's already started professional training. I didn't expect him to have hidden it for so many days, only to be exposed today. Could he be some famous boxer from Xia Country?"

Coach Bob was suspicious, but immediately after, he felt his own thoughts were ridiculous.

Because Li's speed was getting faster and faster, the speed of his punches kept accelerating, accelerating. At the same time, the swaying amplitude of his body was constantly changing, dodging the trajectory of the reflex ball as it flew back due to the inertia from his punches.

Generally, reflex balls come in three styles: tethered, hanging, and floor-standing.

The protagonist is using this type, which should be called the tethered style; the ones hanging in movies are called the hanging style, and there is also the floor-standing type, which is similar to a post.

Li Changsheng is using the first type, which connects to elastic cords at both the top and bottom; the smaller the ball in the middle, the harder it is to hit.

The one here must be for professional boxers, as the ball is very small. It is very difficult to hit, and it is even harder to accurately strike the target at extremely high speeds.

Beginners usually choose to punch at low speeds, which makes it easier to control.

And theoretically, with this type of reflex ball, the faster you punch, the greater and faster the inertia generated.

Moreover, if your punching direction is slightly off, or if there is a slight deviation, the reflex ball will also follow an uncontrollable, unknown inertial trajectory.

Generally speaking, it is difficult for beginners to accurately hit the reflex ball, and the reflex ball will often hit you back.

But Li Changsheng hit the reflex ball accurately with almost every punch, and each time he used extremely subtle dodging movements to perfectly avoid the ball's impact.

Li Changsheng completely ignored Coach Bob's shock; at this moment, he was fully immersed in this confrontation and speed.

Trying the reflex ball was really just a spur-of-the-moment idea, but the results were surprisingly good.

"This training is very effective. No wonder boxers use it to train their reaction speed. It has a very good effect on training sharp reaction awareness!"

Li Changsheng's eyes became increasingly sharp, and unconsciously, the speed of his fists rose to another level.

When swinging his fists, he exhibited the characteristic of Xingyi "turning like a wheel," rotating like a wheel around an axis.

When punching, he also combined the Xingyi "fast as the wind," swift as a gale, but fast without being reckless; he wasn't impatient, indicating that Li Changsheng punched steadily and calmly every time.

When punching, at one moment it was the "three-bend" posture of the Xingyi Dragon, both agile and sturdy; in the soaring and diving movements, he sought to connect the three sections of his body, with the body, waist, hardness, softness, form, and spirit all integrated into one breath. The speed was fast and continuous, smooth as silk without the slightest pause.

Gradually, Li Changsheng's Boxing style was no longer confined to one form; at times, there was the cleverness of a swallow skimming the water.

There was also the power of a horse's swift hooves and the courage of its gallop, as well as the spirit of the Monkey Style in leaping over mountains and the skill of climbing.

"Not enough! Still not enough!"

Li Changsheng vaguely felt that this speed was still lacking; he felt he could be faster, but it was always missing something.

"Among weapons, the fastest in ancient times was the arrow, and the fastest in modern times is the gun!"

Thinking of Boxing, Li Changsheng inexplicably thought that Boxing styles evolved from weapon Moves.

"But how should the modern gun evolve?"

While punching and dodging rapidly, Li Changsheng recalled the feeling of facing firearms several times, as well as a handgun he had previously confiscated.

"The principle of a bullet leaving the chamber is that the firing pin strikes the cartridge case, the gunpowder begins to burn, and the result is high-pressure propulsion. This is somewhat similar to a cannon! Cannon... Cannon..."

Li Changsheng was muttering to himself, and Coach Bob, standing nearby, listened with a confused look on his face.

Because Li Changsheng was speaking Chinese this time, but that didn't hinder him from watching Li Changsheng's swift punching and dodging, which were smooth and highly aesthetic.

Even though Li Changsheng's movements were not particularly good-looking because he was pursuing small-amplitude dodging, once the speed increased, it became good-looking.

"Although there is a Boxing style called Cannon Fist, the domestic Cannon Fist is mainly known for its rigidity and ferocity; speed is not its advantage."

Li Changsheng naturally associated this with the Boxing style of the same name.

Cannon Fist, along with Tiangan, Smasher, Nine-Ring Hammer, and Tongbei Fist, are collectively known as the four major pillars of the Eight Gates Boxing styles.

Therefore, it is also called Eight Gates Cannon Fist; of course, Shaolin also has a Cannon Fist routine.

It belongs to one of the ten famous Shaolin Boxing styles, characterized by: internally needing to lift, externally needing to follow, rising needing to be horizontal, falling needing to be smooth, striking needing to be close, Qi needing to propel, the fist like a cannon, destroying the enemy's body.

The chant is also quite domineering: "Authentic Shaoshi, the flower of martial arts; the King of all fists, the Cannon Fist frame; every Move strikes the sky, hands, feet, body, and steps roll up the sand; the fist is like a firing cannon, the body like a dragon, moving and dodging with speed, even demons are afraid."

Secondly, among the Xingyi Five Elements, there is also Cannon Fist.

"Cannon Fist first goes like a tiger leaping over a ravine, two chops wrapping downwards like searching a mountain. Add neutralizing strikes within the drilling and collapsing, lift the anus, fill the abdomen, water and fire barrier."

"Right! Doesn't the Cannon Fist in Xingyi have an explanation!"

Li Changsheng cursed himself for not thinking it through, having a treasure mountain but not knowing it.

"Cannon Fist belongs to Fire; it is the opening and closing of Qi within the human body. Closing is like filling the cannon chamber with medicine in ancient times; opening is like the cannon firing, the gunpowder exploding in the chamber, the cannonball shooting out instantly; its nature is the fiercest and most violent.

So the key is to induce the heart fire, and at the same time, use the Six Harmonies to store power, imagining the rigidity and dominance of the moment a bullet leaves the chamber, punching instantly to reach the point of suddenly increasing speed?"

Thinking of this, Li Changsheng took a deep breath, a stream of Qi quickly flowed through his heart, and in an instant, his blood began to boil.

His heartbeat suddenly accelerated, the veins on his forehead throbbed, and the blood vessels on the surface of his body could be faintly seen beginning to bulge rapidly.

His cardiopulmonary capacity seemed to be temporarily raised to a higher level at this moment.

His waist and arms stretched rapidly, his arms curled to store power like a recurve bow stretched to its limit.

In his mind, he quickly imagined the moment a bullet left the chamber, his consciousness began to concentrate on his arms, and power quickly flowed through his waist and arms.
