254: Chapter 251 Honey Badger

Hearing this, Li Changsheng couldn't help but chuckle.

What Zhang Zhao said was actually not false; he didn't just counter the three major Internal Martial Arts, he had clearly infiltrated the enemy's ranks and learned martial arts specifically designed to counter Internal Martial Arts—a typical double agent.

As for Wan Qianhe countering Zhang Zhao, it really was a hard counter.

Although both were experts in Hidden Power, the way martial arts styles countered each other was truly unreasonable. When encountering such a situation, let alone an opponent with Hidden Power, even a master with Visible Power could beat you until you couldn't take care of yourself.

As the saying goes: "Fists strike with three parts, legs strike with seven."

This isn't just about the difference in force or power generation between fists and legs; it also refers to their overall proportion in Traditional Martial Arts.

Whether it's fist techniques or leg techniques, the old saying goes, "Striking a person is like walking." What does that mean?

Take Xingyi Fist, for example. Why does every Move necessarily involve a stepping motion? Whether retreating or advancing, one must first take a small half-step; this small half-step is to shift stance. It is very difficult to shift stance during a fight, and the person who wins is often the one who can shift stance quickly.

This point applies to many fist styles, not just Xingyi.

"Three parts striking, seven parts shifting stance"—this is the meaning of "legs strike with seven."

It doesn't mean throwing one punch and three kicks; rather, it means never stopping your footwork in order to land an effective punch.

This is also the meaning of another Boxing proverb: "The hands are two doors, but the legs do all the striking."

It doesn't mean waving your two hands to strike someone. Instead, it means using your footwork to strike someone—this is what "striking a person is like walking" means.

Conversely, this also explains why Zhang Zhao felt he was countered by his opponent.

His leg techniques and footwork were terrible—truly terrible.

Li Changsheng had been with him for a while and discovered that while this brother did know some Sun Style Tai Chi, it wasn't much; what he did know was all in that Swastika Hand.

In other words, this Brother Zhang was an extremely extreme expert in Hidden Power; his specialization was too lopsided.

If placed in a Wuxia novel, he would be like the Golden Wheel Dharma King who knows the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Art—high attack, high defense, but just not very agile. His Moves weren't flexible enough; he just used the same two tricks over and over again.

But it couldn't be denied that the combination of his Iron Sand Palm and Swastika Hand was indeed very clever; he possessed a pair of "Kato Hawk hands."

Flexible and powerful!

Although not as flexible as Eight Trigrams Palm, it could still be considered very agile. Plus, his hands were very broad and thick; it was hard for an average expert to escape the slapping of his hands.

"Hey, what are you two talking about? You can't just talk big like that. Brother Leg already said that no one here has been able to withstand a single Move from him!"

Listening to the conversation between Li Changsheng and Zhang Zhao, Chen Youcai couldn't listen anymore and couldn't help but retort.

"So arrogant?" Zhang Zhao asked suspiciously.

"Is this called arrogance? This is strength. If you could KO an opponent with one kick, you'd be impressive too!" Chen Youcai rolled his eyes.

"Brother Chen should also be an expert. As the saying goes, when martial artists compete, you don't seem to have any fighting spirit at all!" Li Changsheng frowned and said.

For Li Changsheng, admiring a strong person was fine, but blind worship was not desirable. You could strive towards that goal, but blind worship would cause you to lose your own mettle.

Who would have thought that Chen Youcai felt no shame, but rather pride instead. "You haven't fought Brother Leg. Once you fight him, you'll know why everyone submits to Brother Leg."

"See these people? They've all been taught a lesson by Brother Leg. Of course, there are also some who realize the gap is too large and don't dare to challenge him. I, and that guy named Huo, are the ones Brother Leg thinks highly of."

Hearing this, Li Changsheng understood. This Wan Qianhe must be the type to size people up; he had no interest in the weak, so this Chen Youcai must have been beaten up by him quite a few times.

"The people over there... has Brother Leg fought them too?" Li Changsheng pointed to the fighting experts in other areas.

"Sort of. Brother Leg has been here for almost a year, and he has fought in every ring match, unless his body really couldn't take it and he had to rest for a week.

In these years, the assets he has earned are estimated to be close to one billion US dollars. An ordinary person would have left long ago, but he's different—he has made this his home." Chen Youcai shook his head.

"Has he never lost?" Zhang Zhao asked back, now interested.

"Lost? Of course he has lost. This isn't fighting one match and resting; this is a wheel war. However, Brother Leg has raised the average standard of our Huaxia Traditional Martial Arts. His personal record for defending the ring is thirteen matches, and he is always ranked among the top in the number of ring defenses."

"Only top few, not first? Is there someone even more powerful than him?" Li Changsheng was also a bit surprised.

Although he hadn't fought Wan Qianhe, he felt that this person should be a very powerful expert at the Hidden Power level, definitely not comparable to someone like Zhang Zhao, whose level was highly inflated.

Li Changsheng estimated that just looking at the opponent's exquisite and ruthless leg techniques, if he wanted to take him down, he would probably have to go for the kill and couldn't hold back at all. Once they fought, blood would definitely be shed.

And when such a person fought others, whether it was Boxing or other fighting styles, it should theoretically be a quick and clean resolution to the fight.

"There are. You might not know since you just arrived, but I have to say, the top-tier people here are all a bunch of monsters." Chen Youcai shook his head and pointed into the distance, sighing:

"See that person?"

Following the direction of his finger, he saw a black man nearly two meters tall standing in the Boxing area in the distance. Li Changsheng had actually noticed him long ago.

It was mainly because this person's muscles were too dense; he was like a walking human muscle specimen, perfectly displaying every muscle group the human body should have.

But he wasn't the lean type; rather, he had extremely full muscles. If he wasn't a tech-enhanced person, then this person's natural testosterone secretion was incredibly abundant—he was a walking super hormone.

Especially those two arms, which were exaggerated to the point of being equivalent to a silverback gorilla's arms. If such a person practiced Tongbei Fist, he would probably easily reach an extremely high Realm.

At this moment, the man was meticulously practicing striking and dodging against a reflex ball. The volume of movement wasn't large, but with these slight movements, every single one of his muscles was fully engaged.

Just looking at his appearance, seeing this, the image of a "Devil Muscle Man" inexplicably came to mind.

"This person's name is Odoba, nicknamed Mr. Super Strength. He not only possesses an arm span and physical condition comparable to a basketball player, but also possesses the power of a top-tier boxer. The most formidable things about him are his stamina and ability to withstand hits.

I heard this guy seems to have been to Huaxia before and entered a Shaolin martial arts school to study for a few years; he should have a foundation of Hard Qigong.

Regarding this, he and Brother Leg have fought. Although Brother Leg had already fought seven consecutive matches at that time, he really couldn't Move this guy. He also has another nickname: Honey Badger.

He is really good at taking a beating!

Just that would be fine, but this person's speed, power, and reaction are all at the level of a top-tier boxer. So you can't hurt him, but if you relax even a little, you will be KO'd by him immediately.

At that time, because Brother Leg stopped to rest for a while, he was caught by him and knocked down with one punch."

Chen Youcai sighed helplessly: "This kind of person is someone whom heaven favors with a bowl of food; he has uniquely gifted physical conditions and also practices methods of dispersing force and Hard Qigong. This person is just a monster."
