Chapter 11 Steady as a Dog
"Come on, fight me if you have the guts, you coward!" After Nangong Yue attacked intensively for a while, he saw that Qin Ziling dodged every critical moment, as if he had the ability to predict the future. Finally, he began to lose his patience and started shouting and mocking, trying to provoke and disrupt Qin Ziling's mentality with words.
How could Nangong Yue know that Qin Ziling was a man of strong will in his previous life. Even after he got ALS, he was not defeated. Instead, he was full of fighting spirit. After his soul traveled through time and space, he merged with the residual consciousness of a generation of old demons, and gained more wisdom to see through the insidiousness and cunningness of human hearts and the world.
Nangong Yue's little trick could not possibly disturb his mentality.
Qin Ziling continued to move around with a calm expression.
Steady as a dog!
Not long after, Nangong Yue gradually showed signs of fatigue. His changes of moves and speed were no longer as smooth and fast as before, and his flaws became more and more numerous.
However, Qin Ziling did not rush to attack. Under his calm expression, there was a chilling coldness in the depths of his eyes. That look was like a poisonous snake lurking in the grass, waiting for an opportunity to deal a fatal blow to its prey.
At this time, everyone in the martial arts training ground was attracted by the fight between Nangong Yue and Qin Ziling.
Of course, in their opinion, Nangong Yue always had the upper hand. Qin Ziling could only dodge and had no ability to counterattack. If he was not careful, he would be defeated sooner or later.
But even so, the fact that Qin Ziling could hold on for so long had already surprised everyone.
Only Zuo Le became more and more surprised the more he looked.
He was a martial artist at the strength level, so how could he not see that Qin Ziling had been avoiding the attack from beginning to end without causing any chaos, while Nangong Yue's breathing had begun to become heavy, and the coordination of his hands and feet had shown signs of disorder.
"stop!"
Suddenly, Zuo Le narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a sharp gleam, and blurted out.
At almost the same time, Qin Ziling finally made his move. His palm knife suddenly jumped up like the head of a poisonous snake, passed through Nangong Yue's old arm and stabbed his throat.
The speed is as fast as lightning and the angle is tricky.
The throat is a person's weak point. If this palm knife hits it, the fight will be over.
Seeing Zuo Le calling for a stop, Qin Ziling immediately retracted the palm knife that he had sent out and quickly retreated.
However, Nangong Yue did not stop. Instead, he took the opportunity to pounce forward and slapped Qin Ziling's chest hard with both palms.
Just when Nangong Yue's palm was about to touch Qin Ziling's chest, Zuo Le had jumped up without knowing when, landed behind Qin Ziling, stretched out his hand to grab his arm, gently lifted it, and swung it. Qin Ziling felt a force spreading through his arm into his body, and then he followed the force and flew off the ground and landed behind Zuo Le.
"Bang!" Nangong Yue was unable to retract his hand in time, and his palm collided with Zuo Le's. He was forced to retreat seven or eight steps, and his palms became red and swollen all of a sudden.
“Such a fast speed, such a strong force, is this the strength of the realm of power? If it was the gym owner just now, even if I had a keen sense that is almost as sharp as the cicada that knows the autumn wind before it comes, with my current martial arts foundation, I would not be able to react in time.” Qin Ziling saw that Zuo Le was clearly drinking tea under the shade of a tree just now, but in the blink of an eye, he was behind him and threw him behind him, and with a light palm he knocked Nangong Yue back continuously, with both palms red and swollen. He couldn't help but be secretly shocked, and his pursuit of martial arts became more and more urgent.
In this chaotic world, only one's own strong power is the most real, everything else is false.
"Master Zuo, what are you doing? " Nangong Yue saw that Zuo Le was about to hit Qin Ziling, but suddenly he attacked and knocked him back with a palm. His hands were red and swollen, and he felt that his bones were almost broken. He couldn't help but blush and said angrily.
"Are you deaf? Didn't you hear me tell you to stop?" Zuo Le realized that he had asked Nangong Yue to stop with good intentions and to save some face for him, but he didn't know how to appreciate it. He couldn't help but frown and scolded him harshly.
"Disciple knows I was wrong. I was so excited in the fight just now that I couldn't control myself for a moment." Nangong Yue was shocked when he saw Zuo Le getting angry. He realized that his words and actions were presumptuous, and he quickly bowed his head to admit his mistake.
Seeing this, Zuo Le's expression eased slightly. He snorted coldly, turned to Qin Ziling and said gently, "Come with me."
Just now, Qin Ziling could obviously defeat the enemy with one move, but because he called for a stop, he resolutely gave up the good situation and stopped and retreated, which made Zuo Le feel very happy.
Of course, Qin Ziling's superb fighting skills today also exceeded Zuo Le's expectations, which made him look at Qin Ziling differently.
"Yes, Master." Qin Ziling replied modestly, and then followed Zuo Le back to the big tree in the corner of the wall.
Seeing that Zuo Le had completely opposite attitudes towards himself and Qin Ziling, Nangong Yue's face became extremely ugly, with a hint of resentment in his eyes.
As for the people watching the fight, they all looked surprised, and it took them a while to calm down and go back to practice martial arts.
"Luo Yuke, I didn't expect Qin Ziling's fighting skills to have such a big breakthrough!" In a corner, an apple-faced woman whispered to Luo Yuke with a hint of ambiguity on her face.
“Force can defeat skill. No matter how powerful one’s fighting skills are, they will be crushed in front of absolute power! Nangong Yue’s skin membrane is still at the cowhide level, so Qin Ziling can still deal with him with his fighting skills. When his skin membrane reaches the iron level, he will be faster and stronger, and Qin Ziling will have no chance.” Luo Yuke’s eyes flashed with a complicated look when he heard this, and then he said calmly.
The membrane boundary is divided into two layers, one is the cowhide layer, and the other is the iron layer.
Even though cowhide is very thick and tough, its texture still belongs to the category of biological membrane, while iron sheet is another substance.
So of the two levels of membrane, the former is relatively easy. Generally speaking, if one has sufficient meat and medicinal materials to nourish the body, has above average talent and is willing to practice diligently, one can basically achieve it. But the latter, the iron skin level is much more difficult. Many children of wealthy families who have no shortage of meat and medicinal materials to nourish the body and have decent talent are stuck at this level.
Among the seven disciples in the membrane realm who are still staying in the martial arts gym to practice martial arts with Zuo Le and help manage the gym, only the eldest disciple Zheng Xinghan has cultivated to the iron skin level. It can be seen how difficult it is to reach the iron skin level.
As for the realm of strength after the iron skin level, it is naturally more difficult. Generally speaking, there is basically no hope after the age of thirty.
Zheng Xinghan is 32 years old this year and has passed the peak of his energy and blood. He stays in the martial arts school not to continue his studies and impact his strength level, but to help Zuo Le manage the school.
Nangong Yue broke through to the membrane realm after only four months of martial arts training. He has excellent talent and has sufficient meat and medicinal materials to nourish himself. In the eyes of many people, he has a great hope of breaking through to the iron skin level. The most important thing is that Nangong Yue is only seventeen years old this year and has great potential.
Zuo Le had been teaching for twenty years, but he only trained one disciple to the Jinli realm in the first five years. He made no progress in the next fifteen years, which dealt a heavy blow to his reputation. He was eager to train another disciple to the Jinli realm.
This is also the reason why Zuo Le values Nangong Yue very much.
