Martial Arts Across the Heavens: Becoming a Martial God Starting from the Big Boss in Tangshan

As Tang Long spoke to the others, he took a step back and stood firmly in a standard horse stance.

It was just a simple action, yet it sent a jolt through everyone's hearts!

It was as if the person standing before him was not a person, but a warhorse about to charge into battle, poised to go!

"Watch closely!"

Tang Long's expression hardened, and he suddenly sprang into action, leaping into the air like a cheetah, delivering a fierce side kick that slammed into the large sandbag hanging in the center of the courtyard!

A dull thud!

The heavy sandbag jolted violently and was actually kicked to pieces!

Sand flew everywhere, hitting the ground and walls with a crackling sound! Torn pieces of canvas mixed with sand flew around wildly!

Several people were hit by the sand and immediately cried out in pain.

"What! You're kidding, right?"

"Brother Long actually kicked the sandbag and burst it!"

Everyone was completely stunned; their eyes nearly popped out!

Kicking a sandbag away isn't unusual; someone with great strength might be able to do it. But to actually kick such a sturdy sandbag and shatter it?!

This was completely beyond their imagination!

They had just thought Chen Wen's power was terrifying, but now they realized that Tang Long hadn't been serious at all!

"Is this the power of Brother Long?"

Chen Wen couldn't help but get excited.

Of all those present, only he truly understood how powerful Tang Long was, but even he couldn't imagine that someone could kick a sandbag so hard it would burst!

Therefore, he listened most attentively, not wanting to miss a single detail.

Tang Long was satisfied with everyone's reaction and continued to explain:

"My kick just now may have looked like a simple kick, but it actually used the power of my whole body."

"When I kick, I lose my balance, and that's when I need both hands to maintain my balance."

"Using your own weight and the momentum of falling when you jump, plus the impact of a quick step, the back foot landing on the ground also provides a fulcrum, adding another force."

"Like a pendulum swinging, rotate your waist and hips, concentrating all the power of your body on your front foot."

"This is what is meant by 'power originates in the feet, travels through the legs, is controlled by the waist, and manifests at the extremities!'"

"When you kick, you only use your leg, but I use my whole body's strength. The same move, but much more powerful."

"That's how I taught Ah-Wen when we were in prison."

Everyone quickly recalled the scenes in the prison cell, and each of them seemed to be deep in thought.

Although they didn't know much about kung fu, with Tang Long, a kung fu master, teaching them by example, they could still understand some things even if they didn't understand the explanations.

"Oh, I understand!"

"Ah Wen used all his strength in that move just now, which is why he sent that person flying!"

"Brother Long, what's the name of that kick you gave me?"

Tang Long shook his head helplessly when he heard the questions from the crowd.

"This kick has no name. Martial arts is martial arts, but the moves are not important. Moves are just a description of a certain action."

"I ask you, if I clench my fist and throw a punch, what kind of move is that?"

"In Wing Chun, it's called the Sun-shaped Fist."

"Xingyiquan, Bengquan (Crushing Fist)".

"Tai Chi also has hammer techniques."

"There are even terms like 'straight punch' and 'straight punch'."

"But it's just throwing a punch. Actually, a lot of the time, the moves are for better communication. I say 'punch,' and you know what I mean."

Chen Wen frowned, having grown up reading all sorts of martial arts novels.

He has an inexplicable obsession with techniques, and it's a little difficult for him to suddenly accept this concept.

However, he did not hesitate at all.

He learned exactly how Brother Long taught him.

If what Brother Long says is different from what the rest of the world says, then the rest of the world must be wrong.

"Brother Long, what's the point of shouting during a fight?"

Chen Wen just raised a question.

Ah Kun immediately stepped forward.

"I know the answer to that! The Lion's Roar, I've seen it in novels."

Everyone couldn't help but chuckle at this answer.

Tang Long also smiled and shook his head, saying:

"The Lion's Roar is correct, but generally speaking, when we shout out the name of a move or yell, it serves the same purpose."

"Adjust your breath, use your voice to guide your energy, and use your breath to generate power."

"Simply put, it's about controlling your breathing rhythm so you can perform the movements better."

Holding your breath is a major no-no when boxing!

"How can you exert force if your breath isn't flowing smoothly?"

"A shout, also called a shout, can intimidate people with its imposing manner; it is called the tongue bursting with spring thunder! A loud shout can frighten the enemy, making it easier to win the victory."

"Even one's walk, demeanor, and clothing can become a form of charisma."

"For example, if you're wearing ordinary clothes and full of iron armor and swords, and you're facing the enemy with a grin and a fierce look, the enemy's reaction will definitely be different."

"Shouting can also be used to boost one's own morale and intimidate the enemy."

"In addition, it can also be used for some sneaky tactics, such as shouting 'Look at my fist!' while actually kicking to confuse the enemy. Of course, it's best not to do that in a proper fight."

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but chuckle.

While this behavior may seem insidious, it is undeniably a very effective tactic.

However, everyone still had a question they were very curious about:

"Brother Long, which school of martial arts are you from?"

Tang Long was taken aback and hesitated for a moment before finally speaking.

"I have learned many styles of boxing and studied under several teachers. It's hard to say which school or style I belong to, and I don't want to be bound to any particular school or style."

"So I'm going to start my own school."

"Unconcerned with sects or formalities, drawing upon the strengths of all schools, integrating various martial arts, and engaging in free-flowing combat. Abandoning traditional forms, and faithfully expressing oneself. Using no way as way, and the infinite as the finite."

"To overcome attack with attack, to overcome attack with defense, to overcome attack with counterattack. When the enemy attacks, I attack; when the enemy moves, I move. Defend and counterattack; before crossing the river, strike the oar in midstream..."

Tang Long spoke more and more fluently, and then he actually started to demonstrate.

With every punch and kick, he moves freely, unrestrained and unrestricted, faithfully expressing himself.

Some of the movements don't resemble martial arts at all; they're more like dancing.

But Tang Long paid no attention and just kept practicing.

[Ding! You are witnessing the creation of Jeet Kune Do!]

[Currently pondering...]

Chen Wen had already clenched his hands, extremely excited.

Jeet Kune Do! Jeet Kune Do!

I never imagined that I would witness Brother Long creating Jeet Kune Do!

What an incredible opportunity!

He completely disregarded everything else, focusing solely on observing Brother Long's practice and trying to comprehend it.

Utmost sincerity and steadfastness, broad learning and resolute practice.

hum!

The ground trembled slightly as Tang Long landed back in the arena, withdrawing his energy with a palm strike.

His eyes were incredibly bright and full of life.

Everyone felt that he seemed to have changed, but they couldn't quite put their finger on it.

Chen Wen had already received the answer from the system prompt.

[Ding! Congratulations on successfully mastering Jeet Kune Do (LV1: 1/100)!]

Jeet Kune Do: Using no way as way, using no limitation as limitation! Drawing upon the strengths of all schools, embracing all rivers, all methods converge into one! Host, please learn as many martial arts as possible and integrate them into Jeet Kune Do!
