Chapter 41: Chapter 38: Childlike Innocence_l
Translator: 549690339
The current Yang Chen and the one from just now were two drastically different changes.
Previously, Yang Chen had witnessed many battles but lacked actual combat experience, which was like a sealed treasure, only missing a key. His fight with Xu Hu was the key he needed. Once he opened the seal, Yang Chen’s understanding of combat had instantly improved.
Now was the best time for his counterattack.
With his combat experience, Yang Chen immediately analyzed the upcoming clash of fists.
When was the best time to strike, when was the best time to defend, when was the best time to attack…
These thoughts had already formed a virtual image in his mind.
“Take this!” Yang Chen executed the Cloud-Pulling Fist.
“Huh?” Xu Hu was suddenly shocked when he saw Yang Chen’s move.
Yang Chen, who had been defensive from the beginning, surprisingly chose to attack him at this moment.
This made Xu Hu suddenly sneer: “Yang Chen, I don’t know what kind of martial skill you’ve been practicing. If you had focused on defense, maybe I couldn’t do anything to you. But now, you dare to attack me? Haha, Yang Chen, your end is near.”
From the beginning, Xu Hu believed that Yang Chen was unable to stop him.
However, he didn’t know how wrong he was.
The Cloud-Pulling Fist was a supreme martial skill, which was certainly not something that a place like the Great Wilderness could fully comprehend.
Yang Chen lacked combat experience before, but now, with real combat experience, his application of the Cloud-Pulling Fist had suddenly improved by 10%. Just within a lightning-fast moment, Yang Chen’s fist wind roared and launched a fierce attack on Xu Hu.
“Xu Hu, be careful!” The Third Master, with his rich experience, furrowed his brows after seeing Yang Chen’s fist technique. He had already sensed the unfathomable depth of Yang Chen’s martial skill.
However, his realization came too late to warn Xu Hu.
Xu Hu just wanted to brace himself, but Yang Chen’s fist wind had already arrived.
“What kind of fist technique is this?” Xu Hu suddenly wanted to defend, but Yang Chen’s punch after punch left him feeling his scalp tingling and his vision blurry, unable to analyze the moves of Yang Chen’s fist technique.
“Break! ”
As Xu Hu roared, he suddenly gathered strength to break Yang Chen’s continuous bombardment.
However, he soon realized that when he exerted a thousand-pound force on Yang Chen, it felt as if he had hit cotton — not causing any ripples – and it didn’t slow down Yang Chen’s attack by half.
“Not good.” Xu Hu only realized then that he had fallen into Yang Chen’s rhythm.
Yang Chen’s battle with Xu Hu, with all its twists and turns, was clearly seen by the onlookers at the side.
At this time, everyone’s mouths were wide open.
Because Yang Chen, who was previously on the defensive, had managed to turn things around and take the upper hand.
“Yang Chen actually has the upper hand.”
“This…this is unbelievable. Xu Hu crawled out of a pile of corpses, has rich experience in killing, and has been following the Third Master, so his martial skills are good too. How could he be suppressed by Yang Chen?”
Not only the foreign races and bandits, even the people of the Yang family itself were surprised and delighted by this outcome.
Yang Jinhe was no exception.
“What martial skill is Yang Chen practicing?” Yang Jinhe wondered, “Fourth Elder, does our Yang family have this martial skill?”
As he couldn’t recognize what martial skill Yang Chen was using based on his experience, he had to ask the Fourth Elder, who was in charge of the Wuji Pavilion and knew more about martial skills.
It should be noted that Yang Chen and Xu Hu had the same martial arts cultivation level, but the Yang family’s martial skills were supposedly inferior to the Horse-thief Gang’s.
Elder Yang Si stroked his beard and then replied, collecting his astonishment: “The martial skill Yang Chen is using is the Pulling the Void Fist from our Yang family’s Wuji Pavilion.”
“Pulling the Void Fist? That’s impossible. I know the Pulling the Void Fist quite well. The moves and what Yang Chen is using are completely different. Yang
Chen’s fist technique is far more exquisite than the Pulling the Void Fist.” Yang Jinhe quickly shook his head.
Elder Yang Si said with a wry smile, “That’s what I wanted to say too. At first, I couldn’t recognize the martial skill Yang Chen was using. It wasn’t until I just observed his moves carefully that I recognized it.”
“What’s going on, then?” Yang Jinhe was puzzled.
Yang Si took a deep breath and said nervously, “I think the Clan Leader and I
have underestimated Yang Chen’s talent.”
“What do you mean, Fourth Elder?” Yang Jinhe narrowed his eyes.
Elder Yang Si frowned, “It’s like this: Some days ago, Yang Chen had visited the Wuji Pavilion. He had chosen the Pulling the Void Fist there. Afterwards, he returned to the Wuji Pavilion after just four days.”
“Four days…Could it be that this kid learned the Pulling the Void Fist within four days?” Yang Jinhe was shocked.
“More than that, Yang Chen mastered the Pulling the Void Fist in just four days, and even mixed his own understanding into the technique. He even created some ingenious ways while cultivating the Pulling the Void Fist. However, those ingenious moves at that time were far from what Yang Chen is showing now.”
At this point, Elder Yang Si couldn’t help but reveal his shock, saying, “Obviously, his understanding of the Pulling the Void Fist improved within that time. The fist technique he is performing now is no longer merely the Pulling the Void Fist.”
“You mean, the kid has the ability to create his own martial skills?” The expression on Yang Jinhe’s face could no longer stay calm.
If that were true…
This!
Elder Yang Si also looked at the battle, murmuring, “That’s right. At first, I didn’t know about this, but now that I see Yang Chen’s fighting, I think his ability is just as I thought. The main theme of the Pulling the Void Fist is the balance of rigidity and flexibility. However, this kid has realized a deeper layer called Yin-Yang Realm beyond the rigidity and flexibility!”
“Clan Leader, even if we have to pay a huge price, these bandits must not harm Yang Chen. He is our Yang family’s blessing.”
“Do you think I’m joking, Fourth Elder? A genius with childlike innocence, even if I have to lay down my old life, I cannot let the bandits harm him.” Yang Jinhe clenched his fists, determined.
“Yes, childlike innocence! Otherwise, why would this kid, who had never fought
before, be able to fight Xu Hu evenly, even taking the upper hand in such a short time?”
What is childlike innocence?
Yang Jinhe had heard from classics that there were some geniuses in the world who had the ability to create their own martial arts. This ability had nothing to do with innate talent, but rather relied on one’s comprehension and disposition. Such people were extremely rare.
Yang Chen not only had incredible innate talent, but he also had the ability to create his own martial skills and possessed childlike innocence. This was nothing short of a miracle.
Yang Jinhe stared at the battle without blinking, fearing that Yang Chen would suffer any harm. This was a treasure of the Yang family..
