Chapter 21 Divine Power Born of Nature, Heading in Two Directions
Upon hearing the other party introduce himself, he then displayed a palm technique that was both miraculous and seemingly magical.
Li Xin immediately understood who had come.
It was Cheng Yuanhua, the head of the Cheng Family Bagua Boxing School, known in the martial arts world as "Glasses Cheng".
Before coming to the Cheng family's martial arts school, Li Xin inquired in detail about Zhuang Hongxiu's personality and reputation, and finally decided to become her disciple, which was a better choice.
According to Zhuang Hongxiu;
Both of the Southern City's two heroes are actually quite good.
Wang Wu, the Great Swordsman, was a household name in the capital.
People from all walks of life, from the legitimate to the illegitimate, all give him face...
From north to south, from west to east, wherever there is a trade route, his fame will spread.
But in the small area of Qianmen Street in Beijing, the reputation of "Bagua Cheng" is actually even higher.
Especially among ordinary people, he is both down-to-earth and incredibly powerful.
the reason is simple.
Although he rarely takes action, never gets involved in politics, and doesn't curry favor with the powerful, he has many disciples.
Over the years, he has taught countless disciples to the general public.
It gave many people from the lower classes a chance to turn their lives around.
These people go to all walks of life and will naturally help to make a name for themselves.
That's one aspect.
On the other hand, Cheng Yuanhua was famous because his master was Grandmaster Dong, and his senior brother Yin Changshou served as the Imperial Martial Arts Instructor.
Furthermore, even the emperor learned martial arts from Yin Changshou.
Although that Master Yin of the Northern Field did not have the title of Imperial Tutor, he had the substance of one.
The emperor often addressed him as "teacher," which shows how influential he was.
In fact, Yin Changshou knew that his junior brother was extremely powerful, and he tried several times to invite him to come out of seclusion and serve as an official in front of the emperor.
Many powerful and influential people also wanted to pay him a large sum of money to serve as the martial arts instructor for their government offices.
Cheng Yuanhua ignored all of that and focused solely on teaching his students.
Typical of someone who doesn't care about fame or fortune.
When word gets out, it will naturally make people look at you with even more respect.
……
"Disciple greets Master."
Li Xin immediately decided to become an apprentice.
He felt that even a second's hesitation would be disrespectful to this palm technique.
Many people can break or smash wooden stakes.
Even professional boxers from my previous life could break wooden stakes as thick as a bowl.
Some top Muay Thai fighters can kick a piece of wood as if it were nothing.
But the force of that palm strike, though lightly and easily pressed down, remained on the wooden stake for a moment before suddenly exploding.
Furthermore, the sawdust was ignited, turning into a blazing inferno...
This move is beyond the scope of what's required.
The more skilled the person, the more amazed they will be.
Is it true that the legendary Imperial Tutor Yin Changshou could unleash a basin of frost with a single palm strike?
Li Xin still couldn't quite figure out how the other party had managed to do it.
Seeing the fanatical looks in the eyes of the disciples around him, he guessed that this might not be a trick, but real skill.
"I want to learn this."
With a slight bend in his upper body, Cheng Yuanhua took a small step forward and reached him, supporting him with one hand.
"Once we enter the courtyard, we'll offer tea and formally become disciples. Although I don't require formalities here, accepting a personal disciple shouldn't be too hasty. Xiaoya, you can observe the ceremony from the side."
"oh."
Wang Jingya was dumbfounded.
I've spent so much time and effort searching for it and fighting over it.
As a result, in the blink of an eye, the cooked duck flew away.
Her expression was conflicted, her beautiful eyebrows furrowed together. She wanted to leave in a huff, but couldn't bear to.
She couldn't even bring herself to say anything more about arguing.
It's all because Daddy is useless.
If he had come personally to accept disciples and taken the lead, things wouldn't have turned out this way.
We should congratulate them.
"Congratulations to Master Cheng on taking on such a fine disciple. The great development of Baguaquan is just around the corner."
"Luck, luck, you little rascal, still not convinced? It's all because your father was so hesitant. That's fate! Haha..."
Cheng Yuanhua had a big smile on his face, looking very pleased with himself.
The two families lived not far from each other, had known each other for many years, and often sparred in martial arts, so they had a good relationship.
How could Cheng Yuanhua, a local strongman, not know about the other party's movements?
Especially Cheng Feiyan, she and Wang Jingya had been friends since childhood. No, they had been rivals since childhood... always vying for victory. She was fully aware of the unusual behavior the other party had exhibited after returning from her escort mission.
At first, the father and daughter were a little puzzled by Wang Jingya's overreaction, wondering if she was taking finding someone a little too seriously.
This morning's events made it clear to them.
It wasn't that Wang Jingya had a bad eye, but rather that the young man in front of her was indeed worthy of her attention.
Previous performance has already proven everything.
If you don't take on a disciple like that, you'll probably regret it to the point of screaming in your dreams.
Since ancient times, students have chosen their teachers, and teachers have also chosen their students.
The greatness of martial arts doesn't come from any particular school or style being truly powerful; it's solely due to the people who pass it on.
Your style of boxing has produced the best in the world.
So, your school of martial arts is the best in the world...
It's that simple.
Highs and lows are earned through hard work, not through boasting.
Cheng Yuanhua chuckled and gently squeezed Li Xin's shoulder and arm bones, then couldn't help but take a deep breath.
"Tang He, are you really ten years old? Look at your physique, wow, you're naturally gifted with superhuman strength."
He had previously thought that Li Xin's reactions were extremely fast, and that his movements and footwork were naturally very agile, more agile than others who had trained for many years.
Such talent makes one a top-tier candidate for learning boxing and martial arts.
It is especially suitable for the Cheng-style Bagua fighting style, which combines movement with striking and punches following the footwork.
It's a perfect match for their family's martial arts.
Now, after feeling the bones, I discovered that the strength contained in the other person's tendons, bones, and muscles was almost the same as that of a strong adult.
When they really grow up, that will be terrible.
If one or two times more strength were added, wouldn't it be possible to uproot trees and lift tripods?
This prediction is based on evidence.
There were quite a few children around ten years old in Cheng Yuanhua's martial arts arena.
Normally, children like this lack strength, but as long as their bodies are not depleted and they practice properly, it is easy for them to double their strength as adults.
Li Xin's condition was initially thought to be that of a nimble lynx. It turned out he was a tiger's offspring.
Double the surprise!
"Master, actually... my surname is Li, and my given name is Li Xin."
Li Xin looked at Wang Jingya somewhat embarrassed.
The girl looked disheveled, with a hint of resentment in her eyes.
It made him feel as if he had done something utterly rebellious.
"Haha, a pseudonym, a pseudonym is good. It's a good thing to be more careful when you're out and about and not get scammed."
Cheng Yuanhua was slightly taken aback, and almost burst out laughing.
Li Xin looked slightly embarrassed and added, "Also, I'm not ten years old anymore, I'm twelve. All these years, I haven't grown up properly because of poverty."
As he spoke, his gaze fell on Xiaoyue, who was being led by Zhuang Hongxiu.
I'm alright, but that girl is really underdeveloped.
"No wonder you're so thin. You're all bone and almost no muscle. Don't worry, as long as you take good care of yourself, you'll get stronger and taller soon."
Cheng Yuanhua's voice softened without him even realizing it.
He's young and malnourished. To exhibit such symptoms in such a sickly state is truly remarkable.
It's easy to understand just how extraordinary this disciple's innate talent truly is.
The group then entered the Cheng family courtyard, where Cheng Feiyan personally poured tea, witnessed by Wang Jingya.
Li Xin offered tea as a sign of his apprenticeship.
After the ceremony, the two parties officially established their relationship.
There weren't any red tape...
Afterwards, Li Cheng, Zhuang Hongxiu, Xiaoyue, and the others happily came to pay their respects before returning home.
Li Xin was left alone to learn boxing at the Cheng family's school.
This time, Wang Jingya didn't linger. She just glanced at Li Xin with reluctance before taking her leave.
Before leaving, he quietly said to Li Xin, "Brother Li, feel free to visit Lai Shun. It's not far ahead, you should know where it is."
"Alright, alright, I'll ask Senior Sister Wang for guidance on swordsmanship later."
Li Xin chuckled and agreed.
I thought to myself, this young lady is really persistent.
Luckily, I'm not that old, otherwise I would have thought she had some other intentions.
"Disciple, do you know why my previous palm strike was engulfed in flames?"
