Chapter 122: Obtaining Divine Power Again and Advancing to the Iron Bone Realm ( Words, Please Subscribe)

"Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms?"

Chen Jie was stunned when he heard the name, because this Kung Fu was very similar to the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms he had read in martial arts novels in his previous life.

Peng Shizhong nodded and said, "Yes, the Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms. It is said to be the supreme martial art of the Beggars' Sect. During the pre-Song Dynasty, there was a leader named Qiao who simplified the Twenty-Eight Dragon Subduing Palms of the Beggars' Sect into eighteen palms and renamed it the Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms."

"After being passed down through many generations, it was passed to a leader named Hong, who thoroughly developed it and made it famous. With this palm technique, he became one of the top five masters in the world at that time, and even led the Beggars' Sect to become the largest gang in the world."

"Later, this palm technique was passed on to the righteous hero Guo Juxia. After Guo Juxia and his family of three died in Xiangyang City, this palm technique was only passed down within the Beggars' Sect. Later, the Mulan people invaded the border, and the Beggars' Sect suffered the most brutal suppression. Many loyal and righteous people died in the battle."

"Only a few cowards were left. From then on, the Beggars' Sect was no longer the largest sect in the world, and it was almost a mess. Moreover, the Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms was almost lost."

"But there should be a unique copy in the Beggars' Sect, claiming that someone has heard that the Beggars' Sect leader Shi has already learned the Twelve Palms and has become one of the best in the world."

"But I didn't expect that this old beggar from Mianshui also learned such a magical skill!"

After hearing this, Zhou Chu swallowed his saliva and asked, "How many palms did that old beggar learn?"

Peng Shizhong heard this and said, "How many palms? One palm!"

"Just one palm?"

After hearing this, Zhou Chu exclaimed, and Peng Shizhong said, "One palm, one palm is enough!"

As he spoke, Peng Shizhong recalled that shocking palm strike in his mind, the palm strike that destroyed all his confidence.

That palm strike really made him realize what a world-famous martial art was.

Although the old beggar's control of this palm was only at the minor level, Peng Shizhong felt that with this palm alone, even Nan Batian, who ranked first among the Thirteen Guardians, would not be a match for the old beggar.

I'm afraid the title of the number one in Mianshui will have to be replaced.

After listening to Peng Shizhong's narration, Chen Jie was basically certain that the Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms were most likely the legendary Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, and the one who improved the Twenty-Eight Palms into Eighteen Palms should be the famous hero Qiao Feng of "Murong of the South" and "Qiao Feng of the North".

However, the hero Qiao Feng in this world actually improved the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms and renamed it the Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms.

This was unexpected. In fact, after thinking about it, Chen Jie also understood a little. In addition to the two unique martial arts of the Beggar Gang, the Dog Beating Stick Technique and the Twenty-Eight Dragon Subduing Palms, the rest of the martial arts that Qiao Feng was good at were the Dragon Capturing Technique and the Taizu Long Fist.

When Qiao Feng improved the Twenty-Eight Dragon Subduing Palms, he might have referred to some skills of the Dragon Capturing Technique, and combined the two to form the Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms we have today.

But the Mianshui Beggars' Gang actually learned the Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms, which completely changed the situation in Mianshui!

He was directly made the number one master in Mianshui. I don’t know whether the others can keep sitting there.

……

At this time in Mianshui County, the headquarters of the fishing gang!

"what!"

Nan Batian stood up suddenly, looked at Qin Ying in horror and said, "Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms!"

"That's right, Boss. It was the Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms. Peng Shizhong vomited blood after just one palm strike. If you hadn't asked us to follow him out of the city and watch, I'm afraid Peng Shizhong would have died at the hands of that old beggar today."

"Boss, I just don't understand, why should we save Peng Shizhong?"

Nan Batian heard this and said, "Haha, if we don't save them, the Cao Gang will. Why should we sell this favor to the Cao Gang?"

"Besides, my senior brother is not that easy to kill."

Nan Batian said, his expression suddenly became solemn: "But this is the Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms!"

As strong as he is, he was also frightened by this legendary martial art. When the Beggars' Sect was the largest gang in the world, it relied on the Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms to dominate the world. Compared with this unique martial art, the martial arts they practiced is like the difference between radish and ginseng, the difference is not even a little bit.

Seeing Nan Batian like this, Tang Ziyue, who was holding a white paper fan beside him, smiled and said to Nan Batian: "Boss, this old beggar is so powerful, I'm afraid it's not just our fishing gang that is having trouble sleeping and eating. This is not necessarily a bad thing."

"What do you mean?"

Nan Batian looked at Tang Ziyue.

Tang Ziyue said: "In this battle, the White Tiger Hall suffered heavy losses. Three of the four adopted sons were injured and one died. It can be said that the vitality was greatly damaged."

"Peng Shizhong is also seriously injured. It will be difficult for him to recover. This is a good thing for our fishing gang."

"And I heard from them that in two days, the White Tiger Hall and the Beggars' Sect will fight at South Lake. If we can make good use of it, it will surely be of great benefit to us."

Tang Ziyue said while fanning herself.

Hearing this, Nan Batian narrowed his eyes and said, "You mean... yes, who knows, maybe I can get a look at this world-famous martial art, the Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms!"

Hehehe...

Nan Batian and Tang Ziyue laughed, while Qin Ying frowned, not understanding what the two guys were laughing at, but he could only laugh along with them.

……

Caobang!

"Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms!"

Old Monster Liu looked at Gu Qingfeng in horror. Even Bai Mosheng, who was usually calm in the face of praise or criticism, was shocked.

As people of the world, how many of you have not heard of these peerless martial arts that have made you famous in the world?

The Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms represent the strongest palm technique of an era, and are known to be the most powerful and masculine of external forces, with no rivals!

Who could have thought that such magical skills would appear in this small Mianshui County.

It seems that things are going to change in Mianshui County!

Bai Mosheng sighed, then looked at Gu Qingfeng and asked, "How many palms did that old beggar learn in total?"

Gu Qingfeng said: "According to what Peng Shizhong said, it should be a palm strike. The palm strike was fierce, like a blue dragon emerging from the sea, fighting between heaven and earth. When the palm strike was launched, there was even a faint sound of a dragon's roar!"

Bai Mosheng said: "From your description, it sounds very similar to the third palm of the Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms recorded in the "Jianghu Zawenlu" [Dragon Fighting in the Wild]"

"Dragons fight in the wild, their blood is dark yellow, they open and close with great force and masculinity!"

Bai Mosheng said as the book described this move.

Old Monster Liu said solemnly, "No wonder the Beggars' Sect has been so arrogant these days and has repeatedly provoked the Fishermen's Sect. It turns out that they have acquired the Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms."

"I guess it's the inheritance I got from the Beggars' Sect headquarters when I went north some time ago."

After hearing this, Bai Mosheng said, "Boss, the Beggars' Sect has severely injured the White Tiger Hall this time to establish its authority and also to test it. If you ignore it, it will definitely take over by force."

"To a higher position? Haha, this Mianshui County is too small to accommodate the existence of a third largest gang."

"What does the gang leader mean?"

Bai Mosheng looked at Old Monster Liu, who said, "No hurry, let's wait and see the battle of Nanhu in two days."

After hearing this, Bai Mosheng thought about it and said, "Okay."

……

Beggars gang.

“Hahaha… So cool, so cool.”

In the meeting hall, Feng San of the Golden Blade laughed heartily. Today's battle really made him happy and caught the people from the White Tiger Hall off guard.

Especially the old helmsman, who used the Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms to directly beat Old Man Peng so hard that he vomited blood and flew backwards. It was quite satisfying. What a shitty Thirteen Guardians, they were nothing but that.

It’s just a pity that two eye-catching people showed up halfway.

Qin Ying, Gu Qingfeng.

In fact, according to Feng San's opinion, these two people are no match for the old helmsman, so why not kill them together?

Thinking about it, he raised his own questions.

At this time, the old beggar stretched out his hand, and his hand was still trembling a little.

Zhou Peng, who was standing by, immediately brought some tea and asked, "Old Captain, you?"

The old beggar said, "Peng Shizhong's reputation for breaking stone tablets is well-deserved. Even if we use our Beggars' Sect's supreme martial art, the Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms, to fight him, we can't crush him without getting hurt."

【Peng Shizhong, the stone tablet maker】

This is Peng Shizhong’s real nickname in the underworld, and Fisherman is his ranking among the Thirteen Protectors, and the ranking of the Thirteen Protectors generally uses people’s former occupations.

Therefore, as time went by, people in the martial arts world forgot that Peng Shizhong's real name was "Brick Opener".

In today's battle, although the old beggar seriously injured Peng Shizhong with one palm, Peng Shizhong's stone-breaking move also caused him to suffer a severe recoil.

Peng Shizhong is indeed worthy of being one of the old-fashioned Thirteen Guardians, and his strength is truly extraordinary.

This is also the reason why he chose to retreat temporarily after Gu Qingfeng and Qin Ying arrived, because even if he had learned the invincible martial arts such as the Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms, he did not dare to say that he dared to fight the three Thirteen Guardians alone!

His talent was actually not that high. Even though he only knew one palm stroke of this unique skill, it took him half a year of instruction from the elders and his own comprehension to reach a small level of success.

Only then can you dare to dominate the Mian River.

Although he is now confident that his strength is definitely higher than any of the Thirteen Guardians, even if it is the first of the Thirteen Guardians, Nan Batian, he does not think he will lose to him.

You can even defeat him with the power of your palm techniques.

But he was not yet capable of taking on the entire Mianshui County by himself.

But today was a good start, as Peng Shizhong was seriously injured. Peng Shizhong was the leader of the first hall of the Fisherman's Gang. Seriously injuring him was equivalent to dealing a heavy blow to the Fisherman's Gang. If they wanted to dominate the Mian River, they had to pull one down before they could ascend.

Thinking of this, the old helmsman said, "Zhou Peng."

"My subordinate is here."

Zhou Peng immediately clasped his fists and followed the old beggar, saying, "Take the generous gifts and this handwritten letter from me and deliver them to Old Monster Liu of the Cao Gang. Tell him that I intend to join forces with him to defeat the Fisher Gang. Once the Fisher Gang falls, our Beggar Gang will follow the lead of the Cao Gang. The Cao Gang will be the largest gang in Mianshui in the future!"

After hearing this, Zhou Peng immediately understood what the old beggar meant and said, "I'll do it right away."

Feng San said from the side: "Old Captain, what are you doing? How can that old monster Liu be better than us? If you send this letter out, won't he look down on us?"

The old beggar ignored Feng San when he heard this. If this guy was not the disciple of the Golden Sword Protector, he would have kicked him away long ago. How could he choose him as the successor of the Mianshui Beggars' Gang?

What a brainless thing.

But the Golden Sword Guardian couldn't afford to offend him, so he thought to the old beggar and said, "Haha, Feng San, you don't have to worry about these things. The most important thing now is the battle at Nanhu in three days."

"When the time comes, it will all depend on you. Remember, you can only win this battle, not lose."

Feng San said nonchalantly, "Haha, old captain, don't worry. We can't lose. All the masters of the White Tiger Hall are seriously injured today. It is impossible for them to recover within two days. With our strength, beating them is as easy as chopping vegetables and melons. Easy, easy."

The old helmsman said, "That's good."

"As long as we defeat the White Tiger Sect, and then we unite with the Cao Gang, it won't be long before we take down the Yu Gang!"

The old helmsman said.

Jianghu matters, Jianghu matter.

The rules of the underworld are very simple: whoever has the bigger fist is the most powerful. Therefore, when the conflict reaches an irreconcilable level, neither party is sure that they can completely destroy the other. At this time, the two gangs or forces will choose the simple and crude method of a boxing match.

Controlling the battle on the stage will minimize casualties and determine the winner most quickly.

Therefore, in the martial arts world, there are many such arena battles, competitions, conferences, etc.

Under the pretext of making friends through martial arts, similar competitions were held to determine the winner and loser, as well as the distribution of benefits.

This is actually what the world of martial arts is like. Some people say that the world of martial arts is about fighting and killing, while others say that it is about human relationships and worldly wisdom. In fact, the world of martial arts is both. It requires both human relationships and worldly wisdom, as well as forming alliances and making alliances, and it also requires fighting and killing. The one with the bigger fist is the one with the right way.

The world of martial arts has always been multifaceted and never as simple as everyone imagines.

The Beggars' Gang wants to rise to the top, and their plan to become the third largest gang in Mianshui is just an illusion, because they know that the resources in Mianshui County can only support two large gangs, and the imperial court only allows two large gangs to emerge. If the Beggars' Gang wants to rise to the top, then one of the Fishing Gang or the Water Transport Gang must step down.

Only by knocking one down can there be an empty seat, there is no so-called second option.

The law of the world is that the strong prey on the weak.

The White Tiger Hall was the first battle in which the Beggar Gang defeated the Fishermen's Gang. If they won this battle, the Beggar Gang would take a step forward and the Fishermen's Gang would take a step down. As one grew stronger, the other weakened, and they would then form alliances with the Cao Gang, which had always wanted to be the largest gang, and attack the Fishermen's Gang together.

With his strength which is slightly better than Nan Batian, he can successfully replace the Fisherman's Gang and become the second overlord of Mianshui, thereby dividing the interests of the Fisherman's Gang.

To fulfill his ambitions, this is the old beggar's plan.

The reason why it was not implemented before was, firstly, that his Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms were not strong enough, and secondly, he was hesitating whether to join the Fishing Gang or the Cao Gang, and Feng San helped him make the choice!

The result was quite good. Peng Shizhong was seriously injured, which was enough to establish his authority in Mianshui County.

What follows next is a gambling fight in Nanhu according to the rules of the underworld.

This battle is of vital importance. If we win, the Beggars' Sect will be able to emerge.

And if you lose, you cannot lose, you absolutely cannot lose!
If you lose, it will be bad.

The world of martial arts has never belonged to one person, and as a big gang, it cannot have only one master in charge, it must have several capable subordinates.

Of the four adopted sons of the White Tiger Hall, three were injured and one died, leaving the hall in a state of transition.

What would it mean if his men lost to the White Tiger Hall in a gambling fight?
It means that the Beggars' Sect has no talents!

How can a Beggars' Sect with only one master be the overlord of Mianshui? It is difficult to convince the public, and more importantly, the Darughachi Mansion cannot recognize it.

The Darughachi Mansion is not looking for an expert.

They need a strong gang to maintain their rule.

You Beggars' Sect only has one old beggar who can fight, and the rest of the people are all unable to fight in the White Tiger Hall of the Fishermen's Sect, and you still lose?

Come on, just go wherever you want.

Therefore, this battle at Nanhu represents the strength of the middle-level of the Beggars' Sect, and is also a declaration to the entire Mianshui County that my Beggars' Sect is not just composed of me, an old beggar, but also has many subordinates who are enough to support the organizational structure of a large local gang!

“This is actually the true meaning of the Battle of Nanhu.”

"So in this battle, we can only win, not lose!"

"So, do you understand?"

In Baihu Hall, Peng Shizhong was also explaining to Chen Jie and Zhou Chu the significance of the battle of Nanhu.

For the Beggars' Sect, victory is the only option, defeat is not allowed; and for the White Tiger Hall, victory is the only option, defeat is not allowed.

The White Tiger Hall is going to be defeated. Let's not talk about what will happen to the Fishermen's Gang for now, but the White Tiger Hall is definitely finished. Its interests in Mianshui County will be divided up completely, and by then not only the Beggars' Gang, but even other small gangs will take the opportunity to take a bite of the White Tiger Hall.

Aren’t the four streets of Baihutang rich?

How many people want to come to Baihu Hall to take a bite of this piece of fat meat.

The world is so realistic, just like the animals on the grassland. When an old animal falls behind, the surrounding beasts will eat you without hesitation.

Even if you are the same kind as them, you will not get their sympathy.

After hearing what Peng Shizhong said, Zhou Chu looked at Peng Shizhong and said, "Foster father, this battle is so important, let's ask the leader for help!"

"No please!"

Peng Shizhong said in a cold voice.

"why?"

Zhou Chu said.

"The Beggars' Sect specifically asked to fight the White Tiger Sect. If we ask for outside help, we will be admitting defeat."

"But we are just a branch of the fishing gang. Can't we invite our own gang members?"

Peng Shizhong looked at the night outside and said, "No, if I ask for help, the leader will have a reason to interfere in the internal affairs of our White Tiger Hall. From now on, this White Tiger Hall will really be just a White Tiger Hall of the Fisherman's Gang."

"And all of us will become chess pieces in the hands of the gang leader. He can squeeze us flat or round us, it's all up to him."

Zhou Chu knew what Peng Shizhong meant when he heard this, but he still looked at Peng Shizhong and said, "Foster father, who will fight this time?"

"you two!"

"us??"

Zhou Chu exclaimed, and then said with a bitter face: "Foster father, I have just entered the flesh training stage, how can I fight against the Beggars' Sect?"

Peng Shizhong said: "The battle of Nanhu this time is a best-of-three match. Now that your three brothers are seriously injured, it is definitely too late. As my adopted sons, you must participate."

Zhou Chu said: "Godfather, who will be joining the Beggars' Sect?"

Peng Shizhong thought for a moment and said, "Golden Knife Feng San, Iron Beggar Zhou Peng, and the other person might be Ivy Liu Feng, or someone else."

"But we can be sure that Feng San, the Golden Blade, and Zhou Peng, the Iron Beggar, will definitely participate. Their strengths are not inferior to those of you three brothers."

After hearing this, Zhou Chu said, "If he is not inferior to the three brothers, then he is at the Iron Bone Realm?"

"Yes, they are all in the Iron Bone Realm!"

Peng Shizhong replied.

After hearing this, Zhou Chu said, "Godfather, who are we on this side? There shouldn't be any experts, right?"

Peng Shizhong said: "You, Jiusi, plus Pengfu."

Peng Fu on the side nodded slightly.

Zhou Chu looked at Peng Fu and said, "Uncle Fu, what is your strength?"

Peng Fu heard this and said, "Iron Bone Realm!"

Zhou Chu relaxed after hearing this and said, "We already have one Iron Bone Realm warrior, but the other side has at least two Iron Bone Realm warriors. Father-in-law can't win!" Hearing this, Peng Shizhong said, "So we still need at least one Iron Bone Realm warrior."

"In such a short time, where can we find an Iron Bone Realm expert? No, foster father, didn't you say that the two spots were for me and Jiu Si? In other words, one of us has to be Iron Bone Realm expert?"

Peng Shizhong said: "That's right, at least one of you and Jiu Si must be in the Iron Bone Realm."

After saying this, Peng Shizhong stood up, and Peng Fu immediately came over to support him and said, "Master."

"Ahem... open the secret room."

As he spoke, Peng Fu immediately came to a place in the study, and turned the vase. The cabinet in the study opened, revealing a wall. Peng Shizhong came to the wall and pressed a few mechanisms on the wall. Then the whole wall slowly turned, revealing a hole.

Chen Jie and Zhou Chu were stunned. At this time, Peng Shizhong entered the secret room with the help of Peng Fu.

Before entering, he said to Chen Jie and the others, "Follow me."

After saying that, the two of them immediately followed Peng Shizhong. When they entered the secret room, they saw that it was brightly lit. There were many things placed inside, including more than a dozen boxes of gold and silver, which added up to at least 50,000 or 60,000 taels. These were Peng Shizhong's savings.

Walking around here, Chen Jie saw many cabinets, each labeled with various herbs and years.

This is the most valuable thing in this secret room, the precious medicine that Peng Shizhong has accumulated over decades.

Peng Shizhong brought a few people to the large rosewood cabinet at the innermost part.

He opened the top cabinet door, took out a jade bottle and handed it to Chen Jie.

"There are two bone strengthening pills inside. Taking them can help a warrior quickly enter the Iron Bone Realm. One is enough for your current condition. The other one can be used to replenish your strength. At least it can save you ten years of hard training."

After hearing this, Chen Jie immediately understood the value of this bone strengthening pill.

Normally, if one could get one of these bone-strengthening pills, it would be considered a great favor from Peng Shizhong. But today, Peng Shizhong actually gave two pills directly, which shows how critical the situation is.

One bone-strengthening pill can break the mirror, so the second one is actually a bit of a waste. Other tonic herbs can also improve strength, but none of them are as effective as the bone-strengthening pill.

The battle was imminent, and this battle was related to the life and death of the White Tiger Hall. Peng Shizhong had no choice but to give both bone-strengthening pills to Chen Jie.

Chen Jie took the bone strengthening pill and said, "Foster father, this is really too precious. One pill will be enough!"

Peng Shizhong said: "Feng San and Zhou Peng are not simple people. If you take one pill, your strength will be almost the same as that of the fourth brother. If you want to have the strength to fight with them, you have to take one more bone strengthening pill to make up for the deficiency in your foundation."

"The safety of the White Tiger Hall is now entirely in your hands."

Chen Jie also knew the seriousness of the matter, and immediately clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, foster father, leave this battle to me. It's either death or victory!"

Chen Jie's attitude was very decisive.

Peng Shizhong was very satisfied with his attitude, and at this time he took out a bottle and handed it to Zhou Chu.

Zhou Chu took it, and Peng Shizhong said, "There are four muscle-relaxing pills inside, which are enough to help you reach the Willow Tendon Realm."

"Thank you stepfather."

Zhou Chu took the muscle-relaxing pill and said to Peng Shizhong excitedly.

He didn't expect that Peng Shizhong would actually give him four pills of such precious medicine.

In fact, he recognized Peng Shizhong as his adoptive father mostly because of an exchange of interests. It was a kind of camp binding between his father-in-law and Peng Shizhong, just like his elder brother-in-law was sent to the Cao Gang.

Peng Shizhong also treated Zhou Chu in the same way at the beginning.

Therefore, after Zhou Chu came to Baihu Hall, he did not get Shujin Pills like Chen Jie, but he could get a secret book from the Taoist Library.

Instead, he has always been the Sixth Master in name only.

However, after observing him for a few days, Peng Shizhong felt that he was a good person, so he was willing to accept him.

Only then did he give him some muscle-relaxing pills.

There is a reason for giving so much at once. Zhou Chu's talent is okay, and two muscle-relaxing pills may help him break through. But if I want a breakthrough within two days, three muscle-relaxing pills will be more likely, and four will definitely succeed.

And giving four of them is also a compensation to Peng Shizhong.

According to the treatment given to Peng Shizhong's adopted sons, he was given a set of Relaxing Muscle Pills and Strengthening Bone Pills. However, he only had six Strengthening Bone Pills, and then he adopted six adopted sons, giving each of them one pill.

But today, for the battle at Nanhu, he had to give all the bone-strengthening pills to Chen Jie.

This means that Zhou Chu will need to move from the Liujin Realm to the Tiegu Realm in the future, but he may not have any elixirs available.

Therefore, the two extra muscle-relaxing pills given can be considered as compensation, although these muscle-relaxing pills cannot be compared with bone-strengthening pills.

However, Zhou Chu was very touched because he knew the special nature of his identity.

He couldn't be compared with Peng Shizhong's adopted son, whom he valued so much, so he always kept a calm attitude.

Today, Peng Shizhong's kindness to him had far exceeded his expectations, so he was very touched. As for the bone-strengthening pill, he had no use for it now.

And his brother Chen Jie took it in order to fight to the death for Baihu Tang. If Baihu Tang was not there, he would definitely be affected.

Maybe they would not take his life for the sake of his father-in-law, but he would not be as glorious as he is now.

Therefore, he fully agreed with Chen Jie taking two bone-strengthening pills.

Seeing that Zhou Chu was quite happy, Peng Shizhong had a deeper confidence in his character. He turned to Peng Fu and said, "Ah Fu."

"master."

"Take Lao Liu to the secret book library and allow him to choose... two secret books."

Peng Shizhong was still trying to compensate Zhou Chu, and Zhou Chu immediately clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, foster father."

"Jiu Si, I can choose two books. Haha, didn't you only choose one at the beginning? My godfather favors me, so you mustn't be petty."

Upon hearing this, how could Chen Jie not know that Zhou Chu was joking with him? Was this a matter of one secret book or two secret books?

The more secret books there are, the better. To be honest, the secret books in Peng Shizhong's arsenal are not that good. Most of them are below the level of Hua Jin, and only a few have reached the level of Hua Jin, but they are all incomplete.

It still has appeal below the level of Hua Jin, but when it comes to Hua Jin, it is almost useless.

Unless one can be like Chen Jie, who can find out the skills related to the Spring Skill in the Four Seasons Celestial Phenomenon Skill from a pile of ordinary skills.

But Zhou Chu was very happy. Actually, he did not have any decent martial arts. The skills passed down by the old escort leader Sun in Shunfeng Escort Agency, the Mountain-driving Whip and the Cross Sword, were passed down to men but not to women, and only worn inside the family but not to outsiders. As a son-in-law, he had no chance to acquire these skills.

And now, he can finally learn a decent martial art.

Zhou Chu was very happy and followed Uncle Fu away.

He had a great harvest today.

Peng Shizhong looked at Chen Jie and asked, "Do you know why I kept you here?"

Chen Jie said, "I don't know, but there must be something important to tell you."

Peng Shizhong smiled and nodded, "Jiu Si, do you know what your adoptive father's nickname is?"

"Jianghu Hehao? Isn't that Thirteen Taibao Fisherman?"

Chen Jie asked, and Peng Shizhong smiled and said, "Most of the Thirteen Protectors are ranked according to their occupations. Fisherman was my adoptive father's former occupation, but before he became famous, he had a nickname in the underworld."

Chen Jie looked at Peng Shizhong, and Peng Shizhong said, "【Brick Opening Hand】!"

"A stone-opening hand?"

Chen Jie looked at Peng Shizhong, and Peng Shizhong said, "That's right, the Stone Breaker, it's named after my adoptive father's unique martial arts skill!"

"Father, do you want to tell me that the unique skill you learned is this stone-opening hand?"

"That's right. My master, the former leader of the Fishing Gang, has two unique skills in his life, one internal and one external."

"One inside and one outside?"

Chen Jie murmured, and Peng Shizhong said: "That's right, one is internal and the other is external. You also know that after the dark force comes the transformation force. The sign of the transformation force is the ability to use the internal force flexibly."

"As for internal strength, there are two ways to obtain it, one is internal and the other is external. The so-called internal means starting from the Skin Training Stage to focus on internal strength training, supplemented by external training, from the inside out, to the stage of Transformation Strength."

After hearing this explanation, Chen Jie thought to himself, isn't this the method I have always used?

Chen Jie has practiced so many martial arts, whether it is the Water Control Palm or the Wandering Soul in the Thirteen Spears of Breaking Disaster, they are all external skills. Chen Jie's foundation is the Yangchun Jue. He has been using the Yangchun Jue to stimulate his grandfather's practice. What he is doing should be considered as from the inside out.

"And there is another way, which is to cultivate internal strength through external skills. When the external skills are perfected, you can also enter the stage of transformation strength."

Chen Jie asked: "Then is there any difference between the two?"

"There is no distinction between high and low. Whether from the inside out or from the outside in, there are all methods that are famous all over the world."

Chen Jie said: "I know about this method of working from the inside out, but I don't think I've ever heard of this method of working from the outside in."

Chen Jie raised a question, and Peng Shizhong said, "You must have heard of it."

"Famous?"

"Very famous, or world-famous."

"What martial arts?"

Chen Jie asked, and Peng Shizhong slowly said a few words: "Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms!"

Um! !

Chen Jie's eyes widened, he didn't expect that the world-famous martial arts was actually the Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms. This martial arts is about transforming internal force into moves. Back then, when heroes like Qiao and Gang Leader Hong became the best in the world, didn't they rely on this set of palm techniques?

Have you ever heard that they have practiced some amazing internal skills? No, not at all, because the Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms itself involves internal skills, it just works from the outside to the inside.

The Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms is also known as the first of the most powerful and masculine external martial arts!
After Chen Jie understood the concept, he also had a deeper understanding of martial arts. It turned out that there were so many explanations involved.

This is the benefit of having an adoptive father. He can tell you a lot of common sense about martial arts directly. Otherwise, you have to figure it out on your own, and who knows when that will happen.

Peng Shizhong continued, "And my master, the old gang leader, had two famous secret books back then. In fact, there was only one, which was the Stone Breaker, but later he also got a book called Mysterious Ice Power!"

"It's just that he never practiced it, so he later gave these two secret books to me and Nan Batian respectively."

"Originally, Nan Batian wanted to learn Kaibei Hand, and I agreed. But later he didn't learn it, and instead learned Xuanbing Jin."

"This Stone Breaking Hand was passed down to me. Through this skill, I gained the famous name of "Stone Breaking Hand" and was even ranked among the Thirteen Guardians."

Chen Jie listened to Peng Shizhong's story very carefully.

Peng Shizhong looked at Chen Jie and said, "Chen Jie, the survival of the entire White Tiger Hall now depends on you, so I decided to pass on the "Brick Opening Hand" to you."

"Ah, godfather, I..."

"No need to refuse. Although you joined very late, you are smart and loyal. I will not make a mistake in judging you. Although you can break through the Iron Bone Realm by taking the Bone Strengthening Pill, the difference in moves may cause you to lose the battle."

"[Water Control Palm] is very powerful, but it is more for defense than attack. In addition, this palm technique is more powerful in water, but on land, it is far less powerful than my [Brick Opening Hand]."

Peng Shizhong was right. [Water Control Palm] is actually more inclined towards water combat kung fu. If fighting in water, its level of skill is even higher than Hua Jin, and this is even more so when combined with Yang Chun Jue.

But on land, its lethality is insufficient.

And Peng Shizhong described his Stone-Block-Opening Palm, which turned out to be the same palm technique as the Eighteen Dragon-Catching Palms, which was performed from the outside to the inside and was extremely strong and masculine.

The level of his skills has even reached above the level of Hua Jin. Peng Shizhong's Kaibei Hand is only at the great success stage, and there is still a gap from the perfect state.

Otherwise, even if he was defeated by the Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms, he would not have lost so miserably.

Chen Jie couldn't refuse, so Peng Shizhong began to teach Chen Jie his unique skill, the stone carving technique.

What is a stone-opener?

The hands that break monuments and split stones. Those who have watched TV should have seen the monument. It is made of bluestone, can be 20 centimeters thick and weigh a thousand pounds. With one palm, the monument can be broken.

This is the one who opens the stele.

Moreover, this Kung Fu is not only powerful and fierce in palm techniques, but also very fast, as fast as lightning, and one palm strike can be as powerful as an overwhelming tidal wave.

Very scary.

The moves were not complicated, with a total of six moves, which were bold and aggressive, namely [King Kong Opens the Mountain], [Black Bear Exits the Cave], [Blue Dragon Supports the Sky]...

Under the guidance of Peng Shizhong, Chen Jie made rapid progress.

Seeing Chen Jie's skillful moves, Peng Shizhong said, "Take a bone-strengthening pill, and use this stone-breaking hand to enter the Iron Bone Realm today!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie immediately said, "Yes."

As he spoke, Chen Jie took out a bone-strengthening pill, then immediately performed the Stone-Splitting Hand, and started fighting with one move after another.

It takes a lot of strength to perform this stone-breaking hand. Fortunately, Chen Jie took a bone-strengthening pill, and soon he felt his bones starting to crackle.

At this time, the gesture of breaking the stone was powerful and heavy, as if a black bear came out of the mountain, breaking the stone and splitting the rock.

At this time, the medicinal power of the elixir began to penetrate into Chen Jie's body.

As the medicinal power penetrated into his body, Chen Jie's breathing couldn't help but change into Yangchun Jue.

Chen Jie was shocked, fearing that the Yangchun Jue would disrupt his practice of the Kaibei Hand, but he discovered that the Kaibei Hand was actually beginning to connect with the Yangchun Jue.

As they absorbed the medicinal power together, Chen Jie felt that his bones were growing faster.

This is much faster than simply practicing the stone-opening hand.

Could this be the legendary inner and outer cultivation?

As Chen Jie thought about it, the stone-opening tool in his hand moved faster and faster.

Peng Shizhong, who was watching from the side, frowned suddenly. With his martial arts skills, he could tell that there was something different about Chen Jie's stone-opening technique.

But he didn't know whether this was good or bad, so he didn't stop it rashly, but just watched it.

After watching for a long time, he discovered that Chen Jie's stone-opening skills actually had a different flavor.

His hands opened and closed wildly, with great strength and masculinity, moving forward without any room for maneuver.

But Chen Jie's stone-breaking hand is not like that. Although his stone-breaking hand is also extremely hard and masculine, it is actually three points gentle when he closes the form. It is not a complete destruction.

This change made Peng Shizhong fall into deep thought, unable to tell what was good or bad.

Originally, this stone-breaking hand was extremely rigid and masculine, and was not a very convenient existence. However, after Chen Jie added some points and softened it, it had a new look. The rigid one was easily broken, but his was not easy to break!

This does give some changes to the stone-opening operator.

At this time, Chen Jie also discovered the benefits of Yangchun Jue.

The Yangchun Jue itself does not have too many peculiar properties and is highly compatible. It can be combined with any external skills and there is no incompatibility between them.

Just like its name, Yangchun, what is spring? It means that all things come back to life, like being bathed in the spring breeze.

The main theme is gentleness, and everything can be tolerated.

Although this stone-breaking hand technique is not a supporting technique in the Changchun Gong, it also has a sense of inclusiveness when stimulated by the Yangchun Jue.

I feel that compared to Peng Shizhong's simple stone-opening technique, it has more ductility and is stronger!

Chen Jie hit faster and faster.

At the same time, the medicinal power was almost completely absorbed, and Chen Jie's stone tablet opening skill was also rapidly improving. At this time, Peng Shizhong pointed to a stone tablet in the distance where he practiced martial arts and said, "Clap your hands."

Hearing this, Chen Jie took two steps forward and immediately slapped it with his stone-breaking hand.

Snapped!
There was a loud bang, and the next moment the stone tablet broke in the middle with a bang.

At the same time, Chen Jie also felt a warm current pushing out from the bones in his body, causing his muscles to move.

The friction between bones and muscles actually caused a gurgling sound.

Tiger, Leopard, and Thunder Sound, yes, it is Tiger, Leopard, and Thunder Sound, the symbol of the Iron Bone Realm.

His muscles and bones vibrated, like a tiger or a leopard, and the sound of tiger and leopard thundered. He advanced to the Iron Bone Realm. Chen Jie successfully advanced to the Iron Bone Realm!
"it is good."

Peng Shizhong couldn't help but shout "good" when he saw this scene, and then laughed and said, "Jiu Si, your bones are not good, but your comprehension is really good, Iron Bone Realm, this time you can fight Feng San and the others."

"But this is not enough. Take another bone strengthening pill and fight again."

After hearing this, Chen Jie said, "Yes, godfather."

Then Chen Jie swallowed the bone strengthening pill, and continued to practice the stone-breaking hand. His stone-breaking skill was indeed fierce.

With the help of Yangchun Jue, Chen Jie is growing at the fastest speed, making up for the gap between him and the veteran Iron Bone Realm masters.

Just like that, in the blink of an eye, two days passed.

Chen Jie spent two days of intensive training under the guidance of Peng Shizhong. At this time, he was in the secret room of Baihu Hall.

Chen Jie shuttled between a dozen stone tablets.

clap, clap, clap...

After a series of smooth palm strikes, Zhou Chu came over to hand over a towel. He turned around and saw the stone tablet behind him and said, "Jiu Si, why is this stone tablet not broken?"

Chen Jie smiled and said, "Go over and push it."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chu stepped forward and pushed. With a bang, the stone tablet exploded and broke into two pieces.

"Fuck, Jiu Si is awesome!"

After spending a long time with Chen Jie, Zhou Chu was able to use some modern terms, such as "niubi".

Chen Jie smiled. At this moment, the door of the secret room opened and Uncle Fu walked in and said, "Fifth Master, Sixth Master, it's almost time. We should go to South Lake."
