Chapter 048 The forum masters are shocked!
Chunyang Lu Zu, whose real name was Lu Ye, whose courtesy name was Dongbin and whose pseudonym was Chunyangzi, was one of the Eight Immortals in folk legends.
He was considered the founder of the Taoist Danding School, and later passed on his teachings to Liu Haichan and Wang Chongyang. He was revered as one of the "Five Northern Ancestors" by the Quanzhen Taoism.
The Eight Immortals Posture is inspired by the story of the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea. Lu Zu is one of the Eight Immortals. It is obvious that the origin of this style of boxing and stance training is closely related to Quanzhen Taoism.
Chen Jue searched the Internet for information about Quanzhen Sect and discovered that this major Taoist sect had spread southward during the Yuan Dynasty to Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Fujian, which coincided with the rise of Chuanquan.
With the timeline and regions connected in series, Chen Jue roughly understood that the founder of the boat fist, who was probably a coastal fisherman, learned the authentic Taoist inner door skills from a Quanzhen Taoist who went south to preach at that time. After thousands of years of evolution, it has been passed down to the present day, and there are the boat fist and the Eight Immortals Posture.
"I never expected that this martial arts and boxing technique I just learned would have such a profound origin!"
“It’s really a big win!”
After figuring out the story behind it, Chen Jue felt relaxed and happy. He went to the kitchen and drank a big pot of tonic soup to make up for the physical loss caused by the breakthrough of the Eight Immortals Posture.
After mastering the dark energy, Chen Jue's attributes have reached the following situation:
Player: Chen Jue
Age: 27
Health Index: 100%
Strength: 1.72
Agility: 1.27
Intelligence: 1.24
Constitution: 2.06

Allocable free attribute points: 0.41
Compared to before participating in the competition, all attributes have been improved to varying degrees.
However, the biggest change is the hidden power that Chen Jue has mastered !
Taking a look at the big white wall with two fist holes on it, Chen Jue did not punch it again this time . Instead, he walked forward, spread his legs, and stretched out his right palm to press against the wall.
"snort!"
A muffled sound came from his mouth, all the pores on his body closed, his heart beat violently, and his qi and blood gathered in his right palm, and a heat gushed out from his palm.
With a dull thud, a cloud of white smoke rose from the place where Chen Jue's right palm was placed.
When he closed his palm, he saw that the place where he had just placed his palm was already wet. It was the sweat left after the hidden power was released.
In addition, a circle of palm-shaped depression appeared on the originally smooth white wall paint surface, just like a palm print hanging on the white wall!
And in the palm print, there is a large area of densely packed fine holes, like countless needle holes. This is the trace left by Chen Jue's hidden power in the palm!
"Is this what the big names on Tieba mean by 'force as strong as a needle '?" Chen Jue stared at the palm print for a long time before he withdrew his gaze with a lingering feeling.
If such a terrifying force hits a person, it would probably tear the flesh directly and hit the blood vessels and tendons under the skin. Even the bones would be penetrated with a little force.
However, thinking of the advice given to him by the great masters on the forum, Chen Jue suddenly had an idea. He wanted to return the favor, so he ran to the kitchen, found a transparent glass jar, and filled it with water.
He took out his cell phone and placed it against the edge of the glass tank, pointed the lens towards the inside of the tank, turned on the video function, and immersed his hand in the tank.
Then his feet paused, all the pores on his body closed, his heart skipped a beat, and the hidden power in his palms was stimulated again.
Countless water lines as thin as needles shot out from Chen Jue's palm and did not dissipate until they hit the bottom of the water tank.
Seeing this, Chen Jue quickly stopped practicing and relaxed, with heat rising from his whole body.
This hidden power skill is extremely energy-consuming. Once it is activated, the heart will beat abnormally and violently as if it had eaten gunpowder.
"My heart is burning, and my hidden energy is gushing out!"
"If you use it too much, it will probably shorten the life of your heart. It's better to use less of this hidden power." Chen Jue pondered it and realized the principle of boxing.
Then he wiped the water stains on his hands, picked up the phone he was filming, and saved the excerpt of the video he had just recorded of how to use water to demonstrate the dark energy spray needle.
He first sent this video to Master Li Xiangning. Without his Boat Fist formula to guide him, it would have been difficult for him to improve the Eight Immortals Posture to perfection so quickly and master this hidden power skill at the same time.
Seeing that Master Li Xiangning did not reply to my WeChat message, I guess he was either sleeping or socializing.
Chen Jue logged onto the forum again and posted a post with the following title: "Thanks to the masters in the forum for their guidance. I have already learned the hidden power! Please continue to take care of me in the future!"
As soon as he published this post, the internal martial arts forum, traditional martial arts forum, and national arts forum all started to get excited.
The number of comments under the post also continued to increase rapidly, and soon reached 99+.
Half-step Collapse Fist to conquer the world: "??? (black question mark)"
Sun Men Tai Chi successor: “??? (black question mark)”
Wugong Xiaojin Gang: "??? (black question mark)"
Shaolin Sweeping Monk: "Bypass the crooked building and disrupt the formation! OP, are you sure that what you filmed is a dark force? And not a qigong special effect? (Staring)"
Mengshi Baji: "The author was pretending to be a newbie in the forum before, and lied to us that his pores wouldn't close, but now he's already spraying needles with dark energy in just a few days (dog head) But this special effect is really well done, it's definitely not a 5-cent special effect."
Exorcist Sunflower: "Original poster, are you sure you have mastered the dark power? Didn't you go out to learn computer CG for a few days? (dog head)"
Most of the netizens thought that Chen Jue’s video was fake because of the synthesized special effects, and was deliberately put up to deceive people into replying and liking it.
After all, although all of these so-called masters in the forums speak well and are talented, very few of them have truly practiced boxing to a high level. It can even be said that there are only a few who truly practice boxing and martial arts.
What they said, such as "the power is as strong as needles" and "the hidden power is bursting", were mostly learned from martial arts novels and boxing theories on the Internet.
People just follow the crowd, no one has ever seen with their own eyes how Chen Jue could use his hidden power in the water to such an effect.
However, there are many hidden talents in the forum, and there are some people who really know kung fu.
Like the three people in the front row who had question marks, after seeing the video posted by Chen Jue, the owners behind these accounts immediately took the video to ask the elders or masters at home for advice.
As for the private messages from Chen Jue, this little martial arts expert, they were flooded with responses from enthusiastic forum friends.
Some asked him where he learned special effects, some asked if he would accept apprentices, and some even inquired about where he was from, planning to visit him to exchange ideas and test his real hidden power skills.
In short, there are all kinds of people!
As for Chen Jue, after he posted this, he received a pop-up WeChat video message from Master Li Xiangning. He then answered the call and started chatting with the other party.
