Chapter 142 Overlord lifts the tripod, Chen Jue lifts the jar
Seeing that his proficiency in Tai Chi stance began to increase by +1+1, Chen Jue concentrated his mind and began to carefully feel the light and dark power coming from Li Wei's hands.
In boxing classics, strength is divided into four types: obvious hardness, obvious softness, dark hardness and dark softness. The combination of these four types of strength is called transforming strength.
Since Chen Jue started practicing martial arts, he has mastered the tricks of explicit hardness, explicit softness and hidden hardness through the improvement of different stances. However, he has been unable to find the way to practice the last method, hidden softness.
But after the palm encounter with Li Wei, the dark power that burst out from the opponent's palm, in addition to the hardness of the dark power needle-like, also brought with it a kind of soft attack of the dark power like water waves. The power pushed from the palm was like ripples on the water, one layer upon another.
You know, Chen Jue is now in the wonderful process of refining his mind in the world. He is pursuing his own way of cultivation. With his thoughts scattered, he learns things much faster than usual.
Not long after fighting with Li Wei, Chen Jue had already figured out the changes of this dark power and soft attack almost thoroughly.
“So this is what dark power and soft attack feels like!” Although the changes in this dark power and soft attack were too weak for Chen Jue, no one personally taught Chen Jue how to use it. He wanted to figure it out on his own, and he would probably have to stay under the sea for ten days or half a month.
Of course, even if you understand and comprehend Kung Fu, if you want to fully master it, you still need a gradual process.
Therefore, after practicing Tai Chi Push Hands with Li Wei for half an hour, the level of Tai Chi stance has not been broken through, but the proficiency has increased by more than 1,800 points, almost +1 point every second. The efficiency is as fast as opening a 100x experience scroll. It is estimated that after a few more times, the Tai Chi stance will be broken through.
"No wonder those who want to learn martial arts must find a master and a teacher that suits them."
"It is so important for the master to lead you into the door!" Chen Jue couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"Okay, let's stop here for today's push hands practice."
"Master Chen Jue, you seem to have plenty of physical strength. After practicing for such a long time, I don't see any signs of sweating or fatigue. You really are worthy of being a Taoist master who has formed a golden elixir! I admire you!" Li Wei finished his practice and let out a long sigh.
The Tai Chi Push Hands technique taught to apprentices may seem easy and not too strenuous, but actually putting it into practice is extremely demanding mentally and physically.
The fact that he could hold on for more than half an hour in one breath was all thanks to Li Wei's own master's cultivation of the realm of transformation, as well as the Taoist White Tiger Subduing Internal Qigong that secretly supported him. He was no match for Chen Jue, this pervert who was using cheats.
As for Li Xiang, he was watching the two men's push-hands practice from the sidelines the whole time. However, after a closer look, he also discovered that Chen Jue was much more unusual than an ordinary person. He secretly admired in his heart: "He has been pushing hands with my senior brother for such a long time without even taking a breath. This man must have practiced martial arts to become an immortal!"
"Thank you for your hard work, Master Li Wei! I have benefited a lot from practicing Tai Chi Push Hands with you."
"It just so happens that both of you have your foundation in Bajiquan. It's so early now, so I'll demonstrate my basic kung fu, the Boat Fist and the Eight Immortals Stance."
"They are all Taoist internal martial arts. I hope they can be helpful to you two by analogy." Chen Jue said gratefully, bowing.
Half an hour of sparring consumed only a little bit of Chen Jue's physical strength. It happened that there was still early in the day, so Chen Jue thought of practicing the Boat Fist and Eight Immortals Posture for the two masters of Hua Jin to see, which could be regarded as returning the favor.
But the effects of practicing the Boat Fist and Eight Immortals Posture on flat ground are too sparse and ordinary. They cannot compare with the grand opening and closing and amazing momentum of Bajiquan.
Therefore, Chen Jue took a look at the furnishings in the courtyard, and finally fixed his eyes on an old-fashioned large water tank placed next to the waterfall behind the villa to collect water.
"Master Li Wei, can I use that water tank?" Chen Jue raised his hand and pointed at the water tank.
"Sure! Master Chen Jue, just use them. Everything in my compound is used for practicing martial arts. Don't worry if they are broken. They are not worth much anyway. That water jar was used by my junior brother to practice Baguazhang." Li Wei nodded. As he had consumed a lot of energy, his forehead was flushed and his head was sweating slightly. Qi and blood gathered between his eyebrows. This is the Taoist kung fu of subduing the white tiger and planting the golden lotus with fire power.
"good!"
"Then I'll show you my ugly side!" Chen Jue smiled slightly when he heard that, and quickly walked to the big water tank that was more than ten meters away. He squatted down, grabbed it, and lifted it up, and actually lifted the water tank that was full of water above his head.
Li Wei and Li Xiang both opened their eyes and mouths wide when they saw this . Their hearts skipped a beat, and a phrase flashed through their minds at the same time: "The Overlord is carrying the tripod!"
This story is about the end of the Qin Dynasty. Xiang Yu, who was known as the Overlord of Western Chu, went with his uncle Xiang Liang to contact Huan Chu to fight against Qin in order to expand his military force. However, Huan Chu said to Xiang Yu arrogantly: "We will respect you if you can defeat ten thousand people. There is a tripod in the yard that weighs a thousand pounds. Can you lift it?"
Xiang Yu first asked Huan Chu's four strong men to lift the tripod together, but the tripod did not move at all as if it had taken root. Then he lifted his clothes, strode to the front of the tripod, grasped the tripod feet, and shouted "Lift" with all his strength.
Xiang Yu lifted the heavy tripod up high, and raised and lowered it three times. In the end, Xiang Yu persuaded Huan and Chu to join forces and join him in the uprising with his ability to lift the tripod.
It is difficult to verify whether the historical overlord Xiang Yu ever lifted a tripod weighing a thousand jin. However, the large water tank that Chen Jue lifted weighed more than 1 ton!
This old-fashioned water tank itself weighs only a hundred pounds at most, which is nothing, not even as heavy as the large lead-mercury ball in the yard, but it is filled with more than one cubic meter of water!
Chen Jue lifted such an astonishing weight above his head without even taking a breath. Even Li Wei and Li Xiang, two masters of Hua Jin, were shocked when they saw it.
In the eyes of the two, the real person who had formed the golden elixir was at most slightly better than them in martial arts.
But just this little bit is enough to make the high ground reach its limit!
"Is this really something that can be done by human power? After holding the elixir and sitting on the hip, is there really the ability to carry a thousand pounds?" The same doubt flashed through the minds of the two brothers.
Chen Jue lifted the large water jar and poured the mountain spring water in the jar into the waterfall pool behind the villa. After the water was emptied, he took the jar to the yard and placed it flat.
Then, in the astonished eyes of Li Xiang and Li Wei, Chen Jue jumped onto the edge of the water tank.
With his feet on the edge and his body rising and falling, Chen Jue stood on the edge of the water tank like an Eight Immortals Pile. The water tank, which should have fallen over due to the force, did not move at all at this moment, as if a 180-pound living person was standing on the water tank before the water tank could react!
