Volume 1: A Stranger in a Foreign Land Chapter 8 Genius

"Squeak."

When Yang Ge opened the door, he saw the bright golden morning sun shining all over the courtyard, and his gloomy mood immediately improved a lot.

He couldn't help but smile, clenching his fists to cheer himself up: "You have to be full of energy today...right, Xiao Huang?"

Little Yellow wagged his tail: "Ah, ah..."

“So good!”

He bent down and rubbed the chubby dog's head, then held his head high and stepped into the bright sunshine.

…

A thick piece of wood flew high into the air.

Yang Ge's eyes followed the wood. When the wood fell, he turned around and kicked it with a whip kick, which caused a muffled sound of air explosion and swept the wood accurately.

“Pah.”

The wood broke into two pieces, flew across half the yard and hit the wall.

Yang Ge looked at the two pieces of wood, thought about it, pulled out the secret book of "Eighteen Kinds of Luanfeng Legs" from his belt and opened it. He found the page of "Fifth Kind of Splits" and carefully studied the force technique again. Then he put away the secret book, bent down and continued to tidy up the debris in the middle of the yard.

He first had to clear out all the useless things in the yard before he could buy furniture for himself.

If there's still time...

He also wanted to build a toilet in the yard, renovate the tiles, and add a few more windows to the wooden house.

Ideally, you could plant some green plants in the corner and dig a small pond to raise some fish and turtles.

Oh right, I also need to build a doghouse for Xiao Huang, and buy a cat and some chickens...

While rummaging through the pile of debris, he was thinking about a renovation plan for the small, dilapidated courtyard. He casually grabbed a short, thick piece of wood from the pile, lifted it lightly, and then raised his leg and kicked it hard, hitting the wood hard.

"Bang."

The wood suddenly exploded, and sawdust covered half of the yard.

Yang Ge was stunned for a moment, looked down at his feet, and then looked carefully at the scattered wood chips to confirm that this section of wood had not been eaten away by insects and ants.

He seemed to have thought of something, and swiftly pulled out the secret manual of the Wind Leg from his waist, flipped to the first part of the general outline, and slid his fingers along the writing to find the mnemonic: "Force originates from the ground, strength originates from the heart."

While pondering the meaning of these eight words, he slowly recalled the feeling of the kick just now.

After pondering this for about a quarter of an hour, he suddenly stomped his foot, shaking up a stool leg. The moment the stool leg was in the air, he suddenly kicked the stool leg accurately with a kick.

Only a muffled "pop" sound was heard.

The stool leg that should have been kicked away exploded like a firecracker in front of Yang Ge's toes, and wood chips were all over the ground!

"Oh my!"

Yang Ge's eyes widened, carefully experiencing the feeling of something shooting out from his toes, and cheered to himself, "This is awesome!"

If he had mastered this trick the night before, the man in black would never have been able to leave Yuelai Inn!

He became interested, so he sat back on the doorstep with the secret book of Luanfeng Leg, and read the Eighteen Leg Techniques from beginning to end again in the bright light of the day.

This martial art is called "Eighteen-Move Wind Leg".

As the name suggests, there are a total of eighteen leg techniques!

The eighteen leg techniques are divided into twelve training techniques and six fighting techniques.

The Twelve-Rotation Training Method is a way of learning and practicing the twelve basic leg techniques: one is bounce, two is step, three is intercept, four is kick, five is chop, six is hang, seven is lift, eight is sweep, nine is whip, ten is kick, eleven is knee, and twelfth is swing.

Each style has different training methods. For example, the first style of bouncing kick includes straight bouncing kick, flying bouncing kick, continuous bouncing kick, double flying bouncing kick and other training methods. The force generation method and breathing rhythm of each training method are different.

It must be pointed out that although the twelve basic leg techniques are very powerful when practiced to perfection, they are not systematic. When facing mediocre opponents, one may be able to rely on flexible reaction and the power of leg techniques to crush them, but if facing a master of equal strength, one will be stretched to the limit and be restricted in every way.

After all, leg techniques are static, but people are alive. The enemy will not be so stupid as to wait for your flying kick to fail and then follow up with a series of whip kicks.

The six-way fighting method is to combine these twelve basic leg techniques to make a chemical reaction to form a killer move: the first way is to catch the wind and shadow, the second way is to blast the wind and strong grass, the third way is to make a violent storm, the fourth way is to sweep away all the wind, the fifth way is to blow the wind and snow the arrow, and the sixth way is to howl in the valley!

The most prominent feature of these six fighting styles is that they are fast, extremely fast. It would be best if they are so fast that the enemy can only see the shadows of your legs in the sky!

The second characteristic is recklessness, with each move being more reckless than the last. There is still some room left in the first three routes, so one can retreat after one strike.

For the last three routes, if you don’t move, then it’s fine. Once launched, the best outcome is that both sides will suffer losses... Especially the last route, Wind Howl Valley, it can almost be said to be a move of mutual destruction!

Of course, the stronger the killing move, the more it relies on strength. If the strength is too weak, a nuclear-level move can only exert the power of a cannon.

…

"To master so many kick techniques until they become second nature, and to memorize so many kick combinations and breathing rhythms..."

Yang Ge looked at the three variations of "Catching Shadows", each with four or five breathing rhythms and seventeen or eighteen complex combinations of leg techniques. Just looking at them made him feel dizzy and overwhelmed.

It was hard for him to imagine how much hard work he had to put into this leg technique to turn such a complicated killing move into a subconscious instinct!

Yang Ge couldn't help but sigh, "I really can't use my hobby to challenge someone else's career!"

"But, mobilize the inner strength?"

He stretched out his left hand suspiciously and spread out his five fingers.

As he watched, the five fingers began to turn red and swell one after another.

Then the redness and swelling jumped one, three, five, two, four, one, three, five, two, four.

Then the jumping speed became faster and faster, and no trace of redness or swelling could be seen with the naked eye. Only the burning sensation at the fingertips could be felt... It was as if five fingers were frantically playing Senbonzakura on a red-hot iron plate!

'Isn't that easy?'

He flipped through the secret book on his knees in confusion: "Why does the book talk about tonics, medicinal baths, moving qi and blood, and maintaining unity... Isn't this pure bullshit?"

He pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized something and slapped his forehead, saying absentmindedly, "I forgot again. I'm a peerless genius now!"

This secret book had only been in his hands for one day and one night. It was already very difficult for him to read it through three or two times. How could he have had time to study the tutorial on how to cultivate internal strength in detail?

He just subconsciously kicked out his internal energy, and thought that internal energy was just an introductory technique in martial arts.

It was not until he carefully read the entire book of the Luanfeng Leg again that he discovered that this was not the case.

According to the book, apprentices of appropriate age must first diligently practice the Twelve-Move Training Method for two to three years, supplemented with Qi and blood-tonifying medicine. They must then add a six to twelve-month strengthening and nourishing herbal bath, and then practice using special mental techniques to mobilize Qi and blood and condense internal energy...

In other words, under normal procedures, an apprentice of appropriate age would need at least two and a half years before he could try to condense his internal energy.

"No wonder Shen Fa, such a high-ranking official, would lower himself to confront a small figure like me... My friend, this side effect of time travel is quite something!"

After sorting out his thoughts, Yang Ge stroked the secret book and muttered secretly.

At this moment, the gate of the courtyard was suddenly knocked loudly.

"Pah pah pah."

"Little brother, little brother, are you home?"

It was Wang Dali's voice.

Yang Ge stood up and went into the house, and soon came out quickly with empty hands: "I'm coming."

"Squeak."

Yang Ge opened the gate and saw Wang Dali gasping for breath. "Brother, we caught him!"

Yang Ge asked in surprise: "Who did you catch?"

Wang Dali couldn't explain it clearly, so he grabbed his wrist and pulled him out: "Hurry up, the shopkeeper is waiting for us!"

"Wait a minute, I'll lock the door!"

"With this shabby yard, even a rat would have to pay you two copper coins if it got in. Who would steal your things?"
