Chapter 51 Genius
After uttering a few words, Instructor Xu slowly finished his stance, exhaling a breath of hot air about a foot long that lingered in mid-air for several breaths before dissipating.
"Did you understand?"
All the boys shook their heads in confusion, but Huang Tian nodded thoughtfully. Instructor Xu, with his sharp eyes, pointed out to Huang Tian, "Since you nodded, come forward and give it a try."
Huang Tian had no intention of pretending to be a pig. He calmly walked through the crowd and onto the earthen platform.
'Putting everything else aside, his demeanor is quite impressive,' Instructor Xu thought to himself, secretly praising him.
"Let's begin. Don't be afraid of making mistakes; I will guide you."
"it is good."
Facing the dozens of martial arts students below the stage, Huang Tian pondered for a moment, then spread his feet apart, his ten toes gripping the ground like tiger claws, his knees slightly bent, his hips lowered, his spine arching like a dragon, his hands loosely clenched into claws, his posture like a crouching tiger, his intention like a fierce tiger!
'good! ’
Instructor Xu's eyes lit up; he hadn't expected the young man to memorize the stake shape so quickly.
The next moment, a loud bang rang out. Huang Tian's waist and hips trembled, like a tiger wagging its tail. With deep, slow breathing, all the muscles in his body exerted force, and his twelve major tendons were like fully drawn bowstrings, taut and tense. A force emanated from his feet, flowed through his legs, was controlled by his waist, penetrated his spine, passed through his shoulders, and reached his claws, circulating endlessly and surging without ceasing.
For a fleeting moment, it felt as if something was moving and crawling under the skin of his arms, and that thing gradually climbed up his back and waist, bringing him a warm feeling.
"You...you've actually developed strength?!"
Upon seeing this, Instructor Xu's eyes widened in disbelief.
How could anyone in this world not only master the stance after watching a single demonstration of stance training, but also immediately develop power? That's outrageous!
The teenagers below the stage were in an uproar. Heavens have mercy, they didn't even know how to assume the posture of the Spirit Tiger Stance, yet some of them had already developed strength. Is the difference between people really that big?!
Jiang Hou and He Xu were even more bewildered, with only one thought flashing through their minds: 'This is what you meant by not being good at anything?'
Huang Tian slowly withdrew his stance, exhaling a wave of heat. Then he saw Instructor Xu looking at him as if he were a monster.
"You...you used to practice the Spirit Tiger Stance?"
The Spirit Tiger Stance is not a particularly precious stance training method. Many people outside the martial arts world use the Spirit Tiger Stance as a foundation for their practice. For example, Huang Jian practiced the Spirit Tiger Stance and developed the Spirit Tiger Strength.
Huang Tian shook his head, "This is the first time we've met today."
Instructor Xu took a soft breath. "Really?"
"Indeed," Huang Tian confirmed. "However, I have a vague feeling that this spirit tiger stake is not quite complete, as if something is missing?"
Instructor Xu's eyes widened even more. "You can even sense that? The Spirit Tiger Stance originated from the Spirit Tiger and Demon Crane Stance. This stance is complex and requires simultaneous visualization of two forms, making it extremely difficult to practice. Therefore, it was split into the Spirit Tiger Stance and the Demon Crane Stance."
Originally, after teaching you the Spirit Tiger Stance, I was going to teach you the Demon Crane Stance, letting you choose one that matched your attributes to practice.
Huang Tian understood and asked, "I wonder what the benefits are of practicing the Spirit Tiger and Demon Crane Stance?"
"You want to practice together?" Instructor Xu suddenly realized, "Practicing the Spirit Tiger Crane Stance will allow the Tiger Crane Strength to nourish your Qi and blood much faster, and the speed of breaking through to the first stage of Qi and blood transformation will be 30% to 50% faster." It's only 30% to 50% faster, but the difficulty is many times higher. No wonder not many beginners in martial arts want to practice it.
However, it was different for Huang Tian. "Please, instructor, demonstrate for me."
Instructor Xu gave him a deep look and nodded slightly: "Alright, I will demonstrate for you."
Speaking of which, he only mastered the Spirit Tiger Crane Stance after becoming an eighth-rank martial artist. Before that, he used the Spirit Tiger Force to temper his body and nourish his blood and qi.
Fortunately, he had mastered the Spirit Tiger and Demon Crane stance; otherwise, he would have made a fool of himself in front of all the martial arts students today.
Instructor Xu pointed at Huang Tian, looked around at the boys below the earthen platform, and said loudly, "Next, I will demonstrate the Spirit Tiger and Crane Stance for him. You can also see if anyone has his talent and can also practice this stance!"
However, I advise you not to be overly ambitious. Focus on the Tiger Stance or the Crane Stance that I will teach you later. Otherwise, you will get stuck in a rut, wasting your energy and procrastinating. After two months, you still won't have any skill and will be kicked out of the school in disgrace.
The martial arts students were somewhat dissatisfied with Instructor Xu's rather unpleasant words, but they were not fools. They understood how high Huang Tian's talent and comprehension were, which they could not possibly match. Therefore, few of them had the idea of competing with him.
Seeing that everyone seemed quite at ease, Instructor Xu was satisfied, and then said to Huang Tian, "Look carefully!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he slightly parted his feet, gripped the ground with his toes, extended his left arm forward, lowered his elbow slightly, and tucked his palm in, with his five fingers hooked but not hooked, resembling a tiger's claw.
The right arm is bent at the elbow and pulled back, with the back of the hand against the waist, the five fingers spread out and the fingertips pointing upwards, like a crane feather resting against the ribs.
Then he slightly tucked his chin, looked upward, and his spine arched like a bow. Suddenly, his spine arched and sprang up, and a force surged from his coccyx, traveling up his spine, causing his muscles and bones to emit a faint humming sound.
Standing next to Instructor Xu, Huang Tian could clearly see that the skin on his left arm was red, as if it had been burned, while his right arm was cool and white.
Two forces intertwined at the junction of the chest and abdomen, causing the skin on the chest to tremble slightly uncontrollably, as if countless tiny tadpoles were wriggling under the skin.
After several dozen breaths, Instructor Xu slowly finished his stance, beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.
"The Tiger-Crane Strength is extremely powerful and highly effective in tempering muscles and bones. It is also very beneficial for clearing the meridians and nourishing the blood and qi. However, it is very difficult to practice. You can try it out and first try to set up the stance."
Huang Tian nodded, closed his eyes and recalled the entire process of Instructor Xu setting up the stake. After a few breaths, he opened his eyes and began to move his body.
With a slight downward shift of the center of gravity, the right leg supports the foot, the toes gripping the ground, the force penetrating the sole of the foot, the left tiger claw suddenly emptying the palm, subtly containing a gripping force, the right shoulder blade spreading out like a crane's wings, seemingly open yet not quite.
"Excellent!" Instructor Xu's eyes lit up, thinking to himself, "Truly a genius! Just by observing my movements, he grasped the stance and key points of the Spirit Tiger Crane Stance!"
On the earthen platform, Huang Tian's body swayed slightly, and his skin seemed to ripple with fine waves. Suddenly, he felt a burning sensation on his left arm, as if a red-hot charcoal had been placed on it, while his right arm felt incredibly cool, as if it were immersed in ice water.
Two different forces intertwined in his chest, abdomen, and spine, then transformed into warm currents that spread throughout his body, constantly tempering his flesh and bones!
"He's mastered the Tiger-Crane Strength again?!"
Instructor Xu was so shocked that his jaw dropped. In an instant, he was able to master the Spirit Tiger Stance and the Spirit Tiger Force, but he was also able to master the much more difficult Spirit Tiger Crane Force in one go.
'Could this be the legendary martial arts genius?!'
He fell into a deep state of confusion.
