Chapter 71 New weapons, characteristics
Zhao Wanqing's grab missed, her hand hovering in mid-air.
She looked up at Fang Shuwen, who had already slid three steps behind her and resumed his boxing stance.
"Your movement technique... is it the serpentine step?"
Zhao Wanqing withdrew her hand, looked him up and down, and raised her eyebrows slightly.
"You've practiced very well; even the elite disciples of the Five Elements Fist and Snake Fist aren't as good as you."
Although this footwork originated from the snake form of the Five Elements Fist, those people used the corresponding medicines from childhood and had famous teachers to guide them.
But nothing compares to Fang Shuwen's serpentine talent and the direct boost to his martial arts level on his stats panel.
Of course, regarding this point.
No matter how hard Zhao Wanqing racked her brains, she would never have come up with such a thing.
But she didn't dwell on that issue; she moved her feet and attacked again.
This time she was much faster, and her palm strikes were more powerful than before.
Fang Shuwen dared not take the attack head-on, so he used his full power in the Snake Step, sliding his body along the ground.
Zhao Wanqing unleashed seven or eight palm strikes, each one missing its mark.
She stopped, stared at Fang Shuwen for two seconds, and suddenly smiled.
"Okay, that's interesting."
"If I don't get serious today, I really won't be able to win you over!"
Before she finished speaking, she suddenly rose higher and slapped down with her palm.
This palm strike was different from the previous ones; it was fast and heavy, and the force of the palm strike made Fang Shuwen's cheeks ache.
Fang Shuwen instinctively tried to dodge.
But the instant he moved, a viscous, invisible force enveloped him.
He broke free in just a moment.
But when masters clash, even the slightest difference can lead to a world of difference.
Zhao Wanqing naturally wouldn't let this momentary opening in her movements slip by.
The left fist struck straight down, leaving Fang Shuwen with no way to avoid it and forcing him to take the blow head-on.
The fist and palm collided, producing a muffled thud.
Fang Shuwen took three steps back, his right arm going numb.
Zhao Wanqing simply swayed her body, her palms turning slightly red.
"Your punch had at least 1,800 jin of force, which is close to the level of Ming Jin (a powerful internal energy technique)."
Zhao Wanqing shook her hand, her tone tinged with surprise.
"You brat, you're only at the early stage of Ming Jin, yet you possess such strength. Your talent is extraordinary. Forcing me to use a new martial art is truly remarkable!"
Fang Shuwen rubbed his arm and gave a wry smile: "What did Sister Wanqing say? That the pulling force I just felt was Xinwu?"
"good."
"This martial art is called the 'Earth Gravity Fist.' This technique was developed by the National Martial Arts Academy by combining the innate gravity technique of the unique Earth Bull species."
"After successfully cultivating, when you throw a punch, you can add a pulling force around your fist to interfere with your opponent."
"Earth Gravity Fist?"
Fang Shuwen was stunned for a moment, and the first thought that popped into his mind was, "Is this fucking martial arts?"
When you throw a punch, you can create a pulling force that interferes with your opponent's dodge.
Isn't this just like the magic spells in novels?
"Surprised?"
Zhao Wanqing smiled slightly when she saw his expression.
"When I first heard about it, I was just like you. After practicing martial arts for most of my life, who wouldn't be confused if you were suddenly told that your fist can carry gravity?"
Fang Shuwen rubbed his still numb right arm and couldn't help but ask:
"Sister Wanqing, is it really possible for a person to train to develop this skill?"
"It's something you develop through practice."
Zhao Wanqing put her hands behind her back, her tone serious.
"The biggest difference between the new martial arts and the old martial arts lies here. The old martial arts train qi and blood, muscles and bones, and strength, while the new martial arts train special characteristics."
She paused, as if considering her words.
"It's about transferring the innate supernatural abilities of strange and evil beings into a person through specific techniques. For example, my 'Earth Gravity Fist' is derived from the gravity technique of the Earth Bull."
Fang Shuwen felt a chill run down his spine.
To cultivate demonic talents into oneself?
This seems to be similar to the serpentine talent he extracted!
However, he directly obtained Tengshe's talent through the interface, while Zhao Wanqing and the others trained on their own.
"Sister Wanqing, this new martial art... can everyone practice it?"
"Dream on." Zhao Wanqing shook her head. "It depends on aptitude. Some people are naturally more compatible with certain types of energy, making their training twice as effective. Like me, I'm quite compatible with the energy of the Earth Ox."
She paused, then added, "Besides, even if you're qualified, the resources are ridiculously expensive."
"So, public high schools have now established elite classes? To concentrate resources on teaching this new martial art?"
Fang Shuwen immediately asked.
According to the information he provided, the elite class was established to teach new martial arts.
Zhao Wanqing nodded, switched the longsword to her left hand, and leaned it against the wall.
"Yes. The elite classes in public high schools are, to put it bluntly, paving the way for Shinbu."
She paused, her gaze falling on Fang Shuwen, her tone becoming more serious.
"We've selected a group of students with good aptitude for intensive training. Once you've laid a solid foundation, we'll begin teaching you new martial arts techniques."
Fang Shuwen understood.
The elite class is like a sieve; it picks out the good seedlings first, nurtures them, and then feeds them new talent.
"Does the school charge extra for teaching new martial arts?" he asked the most practical question.
Zhao Wanqing glanced at him and smiled slightly: "Of course, the Big Head Martial Arts Academy will cover it. When it comes to you, ten yuan a month will be enough."
Ten yuan, which is about the price of one dose of medicine.
To put it bluntly, it's all about promotion.
The purpose of investing heavily is to find promising talents and then nurture them intensively.
Of course, this method may not be able to filter out all the most talented people.
But filtering down to one-tenth is enough.
"Sister Wanqing, how do you know so much? Could you be our new martial arts instructor?"
Fang Shuwen's heart stirred, and he asked.
Zhao Wanqing paused for a moment, then smiled.
"You're quick-witted."
She turned around and looked Fang Shuwen up and down.
"I was planning to wait until the start of the semester to tell you, but since you guessed it, I won't hide it from you. Yes, I'm the new martial arts instructor for your elite class."
Although Fang Shuwen already had a guess in his mind, he was still a little confused when she said it herself.
"Wanqing, aren't you studying at Shenghai Martial Arts University?"
"You've finished reading it?"
Zhao Wanqing spoke casually, "I graduated last year and was originally going to stay in Shenghai to teach. Later, the Xikou Martial Arts Academy contacted me, saying they were promoting new martial arts here and needed more staff. I figured my hometown was here anyway, so I came back."
Fang Shuwen nodded. No wonder she suddenly returned to Xikou.
"So, from now on, should I call you Instructor Zhao in class?"
"Don't give me that." Zhao Wanqing waved her hand. "You call me 'instructor' in class, but 'Sister Wanqing' outside of class. If you dare call me 'sister' in class, I'll make you run twenty laps around the track."
Fang Shuwen wisely kept quiet.
"Alright, that's enough for today." Zhao Wanqing walked towards the moon gate.
She took two steps, then stopped and looked back at him.
"By the way, your serpentine steps and Tengshe Fist have a solid foundation. Once classes officially start, I'll find you a suitable path so you don't waste this talent."
After saying that, she left without looking back.
Fang Shuwen stood there, the raindrops falling on his face, feeling cool and refreshing.
He really hadn't expected that the new martial arts instructor would be Zhao Wanqing.
But on second thought, it makes perfect sense.
A master of internal strength, a graduate of Shenghai Martial Arts University, and a local of Xikou.
Choosing her as the instructor is a perfect choice; no one can find fault with her.
