Chapter 195: External Cultivation Is More Than Fist Techniques
Chu Nan was replaying Zhou Yinglong’s last kick in his mind.
That kick was actually not very special. Although the timing was not bad and the kick was considered sharp, there were not many changes. It was very easy to deal with.
However, when he saw this kick, an idea flashed through Chu Nan’s mind and he thought of something else.
Before this, when he faced enemies, he was limited by the meridians and the strength of his Internal Breath. He could only successfully mobilize his Internal Breath with the special Hong Clan’s Long Fist and unleash the strongest power.
Therefore, when fighting enemies, Chu Nan usually only used the Hong Clan’s Long Fist.
Although the Hong Clan’s Long Fist was a very magical fist technique that could allow him to successfully mobilize his Internal Breath, the moves were simple after all. From the beginning to the end, there were only three stances and twelve moves. It lacked variations and was far from exquisite.
Previously, when he fought with Xue Zhengming for a short period of time at the banquet, Chu Nan had realized this because of the extremely exquisite Flowing Cloud Indefinite Palm that Xue Zhengming used.
Today, he came to the Flowing Cloud Martial Arts Hall again and planned to continue challenging Xue Zhengming in order to perfect his idea.
However, after fighting with Zhou Yinglong for such a short period of time, Chu Nan suddenly realized another problem.
In the past, although the Hong Clan’s Long Fist had helped him a lot, he was too limited by it. Even if he wanted to improve his external martial techniques, he first thought of the variations of the moves.
This way, he had placed an invisible restriction on his external martial technique.
Earlier, Zhou Yinglong’s kick did not hit the vital part of his lower body, but it was as if he had kicked away a chain that had been trapping Chu Nan.
That’s right! The so-called external martial techniques should not be just fist techniques!
In the past, in order to successfully mobilize his Internal Breath, he had been forced to only use the Hong Clan’s Long Fist in battle. However, now that he had already become an Internal Breath Martial Artist, he could easily mobilize his Internal Breath with a raise of his hand. Why should he be limited to a fist technique?
In terms of exquisite moves, the Hong Clan’s Long Fist was probably at most an E-rank martial technique. How could it be compared to those truly exquisite external martial techniques?
Moreover, Chu Nan had already grasped an exquisite external martial technique, so why should he hide it and not use it?
After figuring this out, Chu Nan immediately felt enlightened and could not help but laugh.
Zhou Yinglong was even more puzzled.
Why did Chu Nan suddenly smile for no reason? Moreover, his smile was so disgusting…
In the next moment, he instantly forgot this question and his eyes focused.
Chu Nan tapped his feet and his body rushed over.
Halfway through, Chu Nan had already raised his hand and punched.
Seeing this punch, Zhou Yinglong and the surrounding students were a little puzzled.
Chu Nan was clearly still four to five meters away from Zhou Yinglong, but he had already thrown half a punch.
With his current speed, by the time he arrived in front of Zhou Yinglong, this punch’s force would have long disappeared. How could it be powerful?
Moreover, this punch had been thrown so early. Zhou Yinglong could determine the direction of his punch in advance and easily deal with it. How could he be struck?
However, just as this thought appeared in everyone’s minds, Chu Nan suddenly exerted strength with his right foot.
Boom!
Chu Nan’s right foot stepped on the solid ground of the arena, but a muffled bang sounded. Then, his entire body suddenly accelerated and shot towards Zhou Yinglong like a cannonball. In an instant, he had already closed the distance of four to five meters between the two of them. The fist he had stretched out earlier actually arrived in front of Zhou Yinglong.
Zhou Yinglong was shocked and hurriedly lowered his body. He raised his left arm and planned to block Chu Nan’s punch.
Fortunately, although Chu Nan’s move was shocking and surprising, the fist technique of his punch was still inferior. Zhou Yinglong easily saw the flaw and raised his left arm while throwing his right fist at the same time, aiming for the vital part of Chu Nan’s lower abdomen.
However, Chu Nan’s fist suddenly descended at this moment and struck Zhou Yinglong’s raised left arm.
Slap!
Chu Nan’s punch also did not contain much Internal Breath. When it struck Zhou Yinglong’s left arm that he had placed all his strength in, it was immediately as if he had struck a dead tree. Not only was he unable to shake his arm at all, but his right arm was also sent flying by the powerful recoil.
However, Chu Nan used this recoil to bend his upper body back and his entire body leaned back, avoiding Zhou Yinglong’s punch to his lower abdomen. At the same time, he raised his right leg and kicked out, aiming at the vital part of Zhou Yinglong’s lower body.
This kick changed quickly, and the overall movement was extremely smooth, surprising Zhou Yinglong.
Unable to react in time, he could only bend his body with all his might to protect his vital points. However, he was firmly kicked in the chest by Chu Nan.
Bang!
Fortunately, Chu Nan’s kick also did not contain much Internal Breath. Although it landed, it did not cause any damage to Zhou Yinglong.
Zhou Yinglong took a step back and covered his chest as he looked at Chu Nan in confusion.
When Chu Nan defeated Maruk in the West Cloud Planet’s martial arts competition, he had already displayed a powerful Internal Breath that completely exceeded his standards. Why was he unwilling to use it until now?
After thinking for a moment, Zhou Yinglong’s expression sank.
‘He’s clearly looking down on me!’
Zhou Yinglong sneered and did not speak. With a dark expression, he slapped again.
Chu Nan immediately threw a punch. When Zhou Yinglong experienced a change, his punch suddenly dispersed. He gently kicked his waist and his right leg flew up like a gust of wind. His kick carried the sound of wind as it kicked at Zhou Yinglong’s waist.
It was the Wind God’s Forest Crossing Leg Technique.
Compared to the simple and even crude Hong Clan’s Long Fist, the Wind God’s Forest Crossing Leg Technique was indeed worthy of being a B-rank martial technique. Not only was the move extremely exquisite, after fusing with the Internal Breath, it could even move the surrounding air and form cyclones. While increasing its power, it could also affect the opponent’s movements.
This kick immediately made Zhou Yinglong feel extremely uncomfortable and he was forced to retreat.
Fortunately, Chu Nan followed up with another punch, but it was still filled with flaws like before. It was far inferior to the huge pressure brought about by the kick earlier, allowing him to catch his breath.
Slap! Slap! Slap!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Chu Nan seemed to be using an extremely casual fist technique and the Wind God’s Forest Crossing Leg Technique. Soon, he exchanged dozens of moves with Zhou Yinglong.
In the beginning, he was still very unfamiliar with this fist technique combined with the leg technique. It was extremely easy for flaws to appear in the middle. Not only was he unable to successfully suppress Zhou Yinglong, the latter would always find an opportunity to counterattack.
However, soon, Chu Nan relied on his powerful data ability to summarize all the mistakes and make corrections. In battle, he quickly increased the tacit understanding between his fist and leg techniques at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye.
Before long, he even fused the Imperial Wind Steps into it. His fist technique, leg technique, and footsteps fused seamlessly, and the more he fought, the more carefree he became.
Although his fist technique was still rough and weak, and the Imperial Wind Steps could not be considered an exquisite footwork, combined with the Wind God’s Forest Crossing Leg Technique, it gradually made Zhou Yinglong gradually become passive for the first time, and then he was completely suppressed until the end…
Bang!
Chu Nan kicked the side of Zhou Yinglong’s waist. Coincidentally, he had just dodged Chu Nan’s fist attack and used up all his strength. He did not even have the time to mobilize his Internal Breath, so he was naturally unable to block the huge force of this kick that was as high as 672.618911 kilograms even without Internal Breath. He was sent flying and fell.
Seeing that Zhou Yinglong had rolled five to six meters away before stopping and could not get up for a long time, Chu Nan shook his head in disappointment.
This Zhou Yinglong was probably only a second-stage Internal Breath Realm Martial Artist, and his external martial technique was only ordinary. Before he broke through to the Internal Breath Realm, he might have had to fight a bitter battle, but now, it was not a threat to him at all.
Although he had obtained some understanding of external martial techniques through him, his level was insufficient and could not increase through him anymore.
Chu Nan turned around and swept his gaze past the other disciples.
“Who else is willing to come up and spar?”
For a moment, the martial arts arena was silent. No one accepted the challenge.
After a long time, a male student who was slightly taller than Zhou Yinglong but much thinner walked out from the crowd and arrived in front of Chu Nan.
“Zheng Moke, please enlighten me.”
Chu Nan felt a trace of joy, excitement, and anticipation. He smiled and nodded before bowing.
“Please enlighten me.”
