Wan Jian returns to his clan!

Chapter 119 The Marquis of the Western Frontier, Dragon Tendons and Tiger Bones

"Xiao Lan, what are you doing here?"

"Mother, I want to learn the boxing style you taught my brother too."

Ouyang Lan tugged at Qin Huaiying's sleeve and said coquettishly.

"Why didn't you do this earlier? You never liked learning before, always saying you didn't want to become like Seventh Senior Sister."

Moreover, practicing external martial arts techniques will hinder the progress of internal energy cultivation. Why have you changed your mind now?

“My daughter was still young then, and it was the time when she was growing, so it wasn’t suitable for her to study. Now it’s just right for her.”

"Mother wouldn't want her daughter to be so weak and vulnerable, getting bullied when she goes out, would she?"

"Okay, okay, if you're not afraid of hardship, that's great."

Qin Huaiying laughed heartily.

Whether you're herding one sheep or two, it's all the same.

He thought to himself that since taking nine disciples into his fold, he hadn't seen many other benefits yet, but his daughter had been swept away by the winds of fame.

He not only practiced swordsmanship diligently, but also made great progress in his skills.

Now, they're even willing to learn body-refining techniques...

This is truly eye-opening.

When I was trying to persuade her to work hard, I talked until my lips were sore, but it was like talking to a papaya – it went in one ear and out the other, and I couldn't do anything about it.

Now I am taking the initiative to study and practice martial arts diligently.

Just like two different people.

Weird.

"No illness. I've heard that the Fulong Sword Technique is easy to learn but difficult to master. When the disciples of the Jinyutang at the foot of the mountain practice it, they break it down move by move and practice it step by step."

It's not that they don't want to cultivate the entire text directly, but their bodies can't handle it, nor can they control it. You..."

Qin Huaiying thought for a moment and then said, "If I'm not mistaken, what you received in the Ancestral Master's Cave was not the personal transmission of teachings from your grandmaster uncle, but rather the inheritance of true meaning. He must have given you some instructions, right?"

Ouyang Zheng seemed to be deep in thought, stroking his beard and smiling, "Although Grandmaster Uncle looks down on this and that, he truly takes great care of the juniors he likes. It's impossible for him not to give them guidance."

"He did indeed give me some guidance... saying that I should wait until my body is strong before I start learning."

Judging from my master's words, it seems that the deeper one's foundation in this sword technique, the more likely one is to learn its secrets?

"That's right. When I first entered the first rank, I enthusiastically challenged the eighth level of the Ancestral Master's Cave. Instead of choosing [Glassy Body] and [Tiger Soul Heart], I chose [Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Net]."

As a result, he was severely scolded by his grand-uncle, who said that his master was overly ambitious and hadn't even learned to walk before trying to run.

Ouyang Zheng shook his head and smiled bitterly.

He added, "It was later confirmed that while my choice wasn't wrong, it was indeed somewhat presumptuous."

Without a solid foundation, even if you learn this unique skill, it won't be complete. It's hard to say how much of its essence you've grasped.

Therefore, you should still learn this "Dragon Tendon Tiger Bone Fist" from your master's wife.

The path of combining internal and external strength is more difficult, but it provides a much more solid foundation and significantly enhances combat power.

"Disciple will listen to Master and Mistress."

Lu Wubing didn't insist at all and readily agreed.

This is a good thing.

Why are you doing this one or two at a time? Are you worried that you don't want to learn?

He glanced at Senior Sister Xiaolan and immediately understood.

The Heavenly Star Sect has so many cultivation techniques that they practically beg their disciples to learn them, not the other way around...

Is there such a good thing?
Deciding to seize the opportunity and become a disciple of Tianxing Sect that day was definitely the best decision I ever made in my life.

"Alright, this [Dragon Tendon Tiger Bone Fist] comes from the Qin family of the Western Region. It is a superior body-refining technique of the military school. Although it cannot increase lifespan when practiced to its extreme."

But when charging into battle and engaging in head-on confrontations, they are extremely formidable.

Qin Huaiying laughed and said, "When my Qin family killed barbarians and made meritorious contributions, we were granted the title of Marquis Yingwu. This was not a merit we earned by chance, but because we destroyed three major silver tents of the Silver Moon Royal Court and were immediately granted the title of Marquis."

Furthermore, he held sway over Liangzhou in the northwest for thirty-three years, preventing even a single barbarian cavalryman from advancing south…

"Look, your wife is really getting old. Why am I telling you this?"

This set of family-style body-refining techniques was actually a closely guarded secret of the Marquis of Yingwu's mansion... Now that the Marquis's mansion has vanished, the master's wife also wants to find a successor for this set of boxing techniques so that this unique military art can continue to thrive.

I don't expect you to master it to a high level; it would be good enough if you could make it a supplementary skill.

"Where are Second Senior Brother and Seventh Senior Sister?"

Lu Wubing was surprised. From his master's wife's words, it seemed that this boxing style was already considered lost. Didn't his second senior brother, Tie Chongshan, and seventh senior sister, Lin Wenjing, also practice it?

“Chongshan was loyal and brave to escape from home with his master’s wife. He was not actually qualified to practice, and his foundation was not good when he was young.”

By the time he joined the Heavenly Star Sect, he was already quite old, and his skills had diminished somewhat.

As for Wenjing, you see, she has a gentle nature, but deep down she has a fierce streak. She is a fine gem to inherit.

Unfortunately, she came from a poor family and was too weak in health when she was young, so her foundation was too thin.

He began recuperating at thirteen, began training at fourteen, and eliminated hidden dangers at fifteen, yet there were still some shortcomings.

Lu Wubing understood.

Second Senior Brother Tie Chongshan was probably a servant or a page in the household of Marquis Yingwu.

When he escaped from the Marquis's mansion with his master's wife, he had probably never practiced martial arts before, so he could be considered a novice martial artist.

He was later recruited into the Tianxing Sect and became a sixth-generation disciple, probably just to make up the numbers.

According to Senior Sister Xiaolan, this second senior brother is already very old, even older than her mother.

As for the seventh senior sister, she must have been malnourished and sickly in her childhood because she didn't have enough to eat.

Even after recovering, his physical condition was still much weaker than that of an average person.

Therefore, she probably practices this martial art primarily for health and wellness purposes.

However, how exactly did Seventh Senior Sister train to become so physically formidable?

You'll find out eventually.

"First, get a feel for the breathing rhythm, then coordinate with the forty-eight forms of the boxing routine. Every move must be executed flawlessly."

Otherwise, qi and blood will not return to their proper channels, and the tendons and ligaments will not be able to stretch, which will not only be ineffective but also harmful.

Qin Huaiying's teaching methods were incredibly detailed...

It analyzes every detail meticulously and incisively, describing the rhythm of each breath and the tension in the muscles and bones.

It's so detailed, it almost goes back to the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.

'Okay, now I finally understand where Senior Sister Xiaolan's teaching style came from.'

His teacher's wife was indeed a very good teacher, but Lu Wubing felt that this teaching method was more suitable for sitting in the classroom and listening while dozing off.

It's been an hour, and they still haven't finished explaining the origins of the cultivation method.

Do you still think that Senior Sister Xiaolan is a better teacher?
He looked completely bewildered when he saw Lu Wubing.

Ouyang Lan covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

Now you've seen it for yourself.

Do you know how I got through this?

"Junior brother, try inhaling and contracting your muscles, then exhaling and exerting force. Have you ever seen someone cast a fishing net?"

She paced around for a while, practicing the boxing technique twice. Then, she frowned, an idea forming in her mind. She simply stopped practicing and began to give pointers.

"Makes sense."

Lu Wubing temporarily dismissed the vast amount of knowledge his master's wife had poured into his mind, and breathed according to his unique "Dragon Breath Method," striking out each punch according to the prescribed style.

As soon as the forty-eight forms of boxing were completed, and as the qi and blood spread out like a fishing net, three powerful bowstring twanged in the backyard.

Lu Wubing paused.

His blood and qi surged, and he threw a punch.

boom……

The force of the punch was like a sledgehammer striking the air.

The air in front of him rippled slightly.

"This……"

Qin Huaiying moved like the wind, rushing forward and pinching Lu Wubing's arm.

They discovered that the veins in his arm were like dragons and snakes dancing and pulsating incessantly, and there was even a faint aftershock.

"Tsk tsk, after you finished this set of punches, you directly opened up two [Finger Yang Tendons] and one [Finger Yin Tendon].

Seven parts strength, three parts softness, the punch shatters the air. "No illness, have you practiced Yi Jin Jing (Muscle/Tendon Changing and Bone Strengthening Boxing) before?"
