"Okay."
He Qinzhou readily agreed.
Since his last battle with Xuanwu, He Qinzhou has noticed that his combat strength seems to have increased.
Even though his strength can now be demonstrated more intuitively through data, he still wants to see what kind of progress he can make if he were to spar with a master of the God General level again...
Seeing that he agreed, Xu Bowen quickly pulled his daughter away a little.
Even a mere sparring match between gods can be incredibly destructive.
The two stood facing each other and clasped their hands in a fist salute.
"Congratulations, Qinzhou!"
"Gu Manli!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the two got into fighting stances and began to fight.
The wind howled as the fists struck, making loud banging sounds!
The battle between He Qinzhou and Gu Manli entered a fierce and stalemate from the very beginning.
Every punch landed squarely, and the two sides were evenly matched.
Xu Bowen whispered to Xu Mengzhu, "He Qinzhou is very talented. Although his boxing style is rusty and doesn't have a particularly systematic routine, just simple kicks and punches, its power is not to be underestimated. He has at least 80% of his 500-plus kilograms of strength!"
"Qinzhou is that amazing?"
Xu Mengzhu covered her mouth in surprise, her eyes sparkling with delight.
"Yes, Brother He is really amazing, but he probably can't beat Brother Gu for the time being."
"Huh? Why?"
Xu Mengzhu's tone was full of doubt.
Wei Zheng was completely focused on the fight in the arena. "Compared to Brother He, Brother Gu only has an advantage in speed. Although a difference of one meter or one second may not seem like much, it is extremely obvious in actual combat."
"Brother Gu easily dodges every attack Brother He makes, but Brother He can only passively parry Brother Gu's attacks, unable to dodge them in time..."
"He was always on the defensive, and no matter how physically resilient he was, the outcome was predetermined and could not be changed."
Wei Zheng finally gave his conclusion, feeling a pang of regret.
In close-quarters combat, speed and power are practically everything!
After the two fought for a while, Gu Manli stopped.
Although he tried to hide it, his face still showed shock. "Brother He, you are really strong. When the magistrate said he would send you to the exchange meeting, I was actually against it. After all, if you went on stage, you wouldn't be representing yourself anymore. But now..."
Gu Manli paused mid-sentence, then changed his words after a moment, saying, "However, you still need to practice more."
"Brother Gu, what do you mean by that? If it weren't for your slight speed advantage, you definitely wouldn't be a match for Brother He."
Wei Zheng spoke up to defend He Qinzhou.
No, that's not what I meant.
Gu Manli scratched his head sheepishly and chuckled, "What I mean is, if Brother He can seize the time to train now, defeating Xuanwu completely on the day of the exchange meeting might not be too difficult..."
"Well, that makes sense..."
Xu Bowen nodded thoughtfully, walked over, patted He Qinzhou on the shoulder and said, "How about this, Qinzhou, you stay here for the next while. I'll teach you some fighting techniques so you can learn them as soon as possible and defeat Xuanwu!"
He Qinzhou originally wanted to refuse, since he could simply exchange his corruption points for martial arts skills from the system.
There's absolutely no need to learn it!
However… he couldn’t think of any excuse to directly refuse Xu Bowen, so he could only agree for the time being, “Alright, then I’ll trouble Uncle Xu!”
He Qinzhou was thinking that he would verbally agree to let Xu Bowen learn from him, but in reality, he would just exchange martial arts skills with the system when he was alone at night.
Upon hearing He Qinzhou's agreement, Xu Bowen immediately pulled He Qinzhou into a small room next door, leaving Xu Mengzhu, Wei Zheng, and Gu Manli standing there looking at each other in bewilderment.
The God of War personally taught him?
This is an extremely rare opportunity!
They had actually enjoyed such an honor before, and after completing their studies, they were all promoted to the rank of Divine General.
From then on, he possessed supreme power and status, second only to one person and above tens of thousands of others!
However, regardless of the war zone, there have always been only four slots for the God of War.
This is a matter of the Dragon Alliance's organizational structure, and has nothing to do with battle achievements.
Therefore, it is clear that Xu Bowen had no intention of recruiting He Qinzhou to become a general in the Northern War Zone.
But he still chose to do it, so the signal he sent was quite clear...
"Brother Wei Zheng, Brother Manli, why...why are you looking at me like that?"
Suddenly being stared at curiously by the two people, Xu Mengzhu subconsciously shrank her neck and shivered slightly.
"Miss, how far have things progressed between you and He Qinzhou?"
Gu Manli squinted, his expression somewhat interrogative.
After all, this concerned his young mistress's love life, so he couldn't afford to be careless.
Xu Mengzhu did not expect Manli to suddenly ask her that question.
She couldn't answer for a moment, so she could only roll her eyes at them in annoyance: "Mind your own business! It's none of your concern!"
inside the room.
"The move I'm going to teach you is called the Vajra Dragon Claw Hand."
"The Vajra Dragon Claw Hand, a technique from the Dalin Temple, is said to have evolved from a divine skill."
After leading He Qinzhou into the room, Xu Bowen locked the door behind him. Then, he immediately assumed a horse stance, raised his hands horizontally and clenched them into claw shapes. With each swing, he would recite the name of the corresponding move.
"Catch the wind!"
"Catching a shadow!"
"Play the zither!"
"Play the zither!"
"Fighting!"
"Hold the line!"
"..."
Xu Bowen recited thirty-six names before he finished performing the entire set of moves.
He Qinzhou watched with great interest from the sidelines. Although he didn't care much, he was at least having a good look at the sight.
At the same time, he felt very familiar with this set of moves.
What the hell...
It seems to be the Shaolin Dragon Claw Hand technique that he saw in a TV series before his previous life when he transmigrated.
But does adding the word "King Kong" really make it something new?
Also, Dalin Temple...
shameful!
He Qinzhou kept complaining in his heart, but he followed along and learned in a very serious manner.
He was quite fond of the Sweeping Monk's signature skill in his previous life.
He Qinzhou had already shown the basic form of his movements even though it was only his first time fighting.
The second movement was already quite fluid.
"Alright, I knew I hadn't misjudged you!"
Xu Bowen stood by the door the whole time, leaving the entire room for He Qinzhou to do his thing.
"Don't just keep punching in the air. Try striking solid objects and find the right way to apply force. If you have form but no strength, it's just a showy display. Only when you have substance and form can you be considered to have truly mastered it!"
As Xu Bowen watched, he was also giving He Qinzhou a remote lesson.
Chapter 311: Xu Mengzhu Hitting the Sandbag
Because He Qinzhou's cultivation level had reached the ninth level of the Nascent Soul realm, he was able to learn new things very quickly.
He only used it a few times, and it was already 70-80% effective.
In Xu Bowen's view, He Qinzhou was simply a martial arts prodigy!
Born for martial arts!
After several more rounds, He Qinzhou began to try hitting the items in the room.
From small bottles and jars to large tables and chairs, everything became the target of his violence.
boom!
puff!
With a final, sharp crack, the claw pierced through the back of the sofa, and He Qinzhou finally breathed a sigh of relief.
I checked the time and realized that several hours had passed since I first learned the Vajra Dragon Claw Hand technique.
In just over an hour, he was already able to randomly break down the Thirty-Six Forms of the Vajra Dragon Claw Hand into combination techniques. Such progress is truly terrifying!
"Uncle, this one move isn't quite enough. Do you have any other moves you can teach me to try?"
He Qinzhou, caught up in the excitement of the fight, asked without turning his head.
"Of course, what do you want to learn?"
"Hmm... One Finger Divine Skill or Six Meridians Divine Sword, perhaps..."
"What??"
Xu Bowen glanced at He Qinzhou with a strange expression, unsure of what to say...
"Dad is really something. Why did he have to teach kung fu now of all times?"
Outside the door, Xu Mengzhu took out a marker from somewhere and began to write He Qinzhou's name on the sandbag stroke by stroke.
She didn't know why she was writing, she just wanted to write something, and then subconsciously wrote down He Qinzhou's name...
Wei Zheng stood silently by, shaking his head helplessly: "It's over, the young lady has completely fallen in love, there's no saving her!"
"Brother Zheng, how can you say that? Is it really because the young lady wrote He Qinzhou's name on the sandbag?"
Gu Manli had a different opinion: "What if the young lady just wants to write He Qinzhou's name on the sandbag and then use that to hit He Qinzhou?"
"Uh?"
Wei Zheng was taken aback.
He suddenly felt that what Gu Manli said made a lot of sense!
boom!
Bang bang bang!
As soon as Gu Manli finished speaking, Xu Mengzhu started punching the sandbag.
"See, isn't that right?"
Seeing that Xu Mengzhu actually acted as he had guessed, Gu Manli immediately revealed a smug expression.
Seeing this, Wei Zheng couldn't help but pat his chest and let out a long sigh of relief.
"crunch"
Just then, the door that had been tightly closed was opened again.
Xu Bowen walked out with a broad smile on his face, followed by He Qinzhou, who was eager to try.
“Brother He, I know that people get very excited when they encounter new things, but when they are not yet proficient in a new skill, it is still important to consolidate their knowledge…”
Wei Zheng's tone was full of earnestness.
Xu Bowen said those words to them back then, so he remembers them very well!
"It's alright. I'm a beginner, so I need to practice more. Real-world experience is the best way to improve."
