Chapter Thirty Must Be An Illusion

  "Could it be that his ribs were broken?" Xuan Qi covered the painful spot on his chest, and couldn't help but wonder. The burning pain coming from his chest made him feel like he was having trouble breathing.

  If his ribs were broken, he would have no strength to fight back.

  In this case, he knew that Luo Tong would absolutely not show mercy and would go all out. This guy was shameless to the point of making him feel disgusted.

  Although he appears to be a cool and skilled person on the surface, his actions are actually quite uncool and even more despicable than ordinary people.

  In fact, this is due to Luo Tong's own style, he himself is a ruthless person.

  "Don't worry, it's just a minor injury, didn't hurt any tendons or bones. That guy isn't that formidable!"

  "But my chest hurts, and I'm having some trouble breathing, I don't know what's going on!" Upon hearing Lao Ding's words, Xuan Qi felt a bit more at ease, but still clutched at his chest, massaging it uncomfortably.

  Lao Ding saw him like this and couldn't help but get angry, saying: "You are in the midst of treasure yet unaware. You are now a Xiantian Wu Zhe, capable of using Qi to heal wounds. Can't you try using your body's Qi to heal, or even just rub it with your hands?"

  Old Ding felt very angry about Xuan Qi's amateurish performance.

  "Isn't this because I lack experience? Do you still need to remind me, old man?" Understanding the hint from Lao Ding, Xuan Qi began to try and use his internal energy to heal his injuries.

  However, his foundation was really too poor and he didn't know how to use the power of his body to heal himself. But his own strength was strong enough, plus his physical strength was powerful, and he quickly recovered.

  If we're talking about true strength, Xuan Qi is definitely stronger than Luo Tong. However, he has never been in a fight before, so his experience in this area is a bit too weak.

  Luotong was different, he was a martial arts expert.

  "Huh, you actually got up again, quite some foundation!" Seeing Xuan Qi standing up once more, Luo Tong felt somewhat surprised.

  Generally speaking, few people can withstand his full-strength punch without getting hurt. But the young man in front of him seemed to have only suffered a minor injury and recovered quickly.

  This situation made Luo Tong also somewhat suspicious and surprised.

  "Who is this kid from? The foundation is actually so good, the roots seem to be very strong!" Looking at Xuan Qi standing in place, with an unbeatable appearance, he was somewhat curious.

  The current Xuan Qi seems to have merged with heaven and earth as a whole, looking like a sect master.

  "This is impossible, completely impossible!"

  At first, Luo Tong was somewhat skeptical, but soon his face turned very unsightly. He saw that Xuan Qi seemed to be standing in the Three-Body Stance.

  Around Xuan Qi, the spiritual energy was rapidly gathering and being quickly absorbed. The thin spiritual energy in the air was all concentrated by Xuan Qi, absorbed into his body, and began to nourish his injured areas.

  In this way, his body will quickly recover and does not need to be treated by qigong, but will directly start recovering automatically.

  "Am I mistaken?"

  Luotong was not Xue Tiannan and did not know that Xuanqi had already built his foundation. It is a very normal thing for a foundation-building master to absorb spiritual energy from the air.

  Lu Tong said to himself in his heart: "It must be an illusion!"

  He knew that if Xuan Qi could really absorb the spiritual energy in the air directly, then he was not his opponent at all. This was a huge blow to him who had been immersed in martial arts for his whole life.

  He couldn't believe that there was someone who, at such a young age, was already an innate master. This made him, a self-taught master, feel utterly humiliated.

  "Kid, you actually managed to block one of my moves. You're indeed quite skilled. Alright, since it's come to this, I'll tell you my name too, so you can look me up again for a rematch in the future."

  Lu Tong thought for a moment, then directly announced his identity: "I am Lu Tong, I practice Chaquan and I'm the current inner door elder of Chaquan. And you, whose disciple are you? From your stance, it seems like San Ti Shi, are you from Xingyiquan?"

  Chaquan is a style of Changquan, said to have been created by Cha Shanyi in the Ming dynasty.

  This boxing method is both hard and soft, with great power, expansive and upright posture, swift and fierce emission of force, dynamic and static are coherent, and both hard and soft are complementary. Later, Chaquan produced many famous people, this boxing technique was continuously promoted and expanded, and many schools were formed, forming the Chaquan Gate.

  While Chaquanmen has become a prestigious school after years of development, it can be considered one of the rising stars in Jianghu.

  However, compared with Chaquan, Xingyiquan has a wider spread and is one of the three major internal martial arts. It is also known as one of the four great famous fists, with more masters and greater influence.

  If it's Chaquan vs Xingyiquan, Chaquan will definitely be at a disadvantage. The power of these two sides is not on the same level.

  "No!"

  Xuan Qi unequivocally denied it.

  Although he learned some Xingyiquan knowledge from Xue Tian Nang, it was just an exchange and not a formal apprenticeship. If we say that Xue Tian Nang wanted to be his apprentice, but was directly refused by Xuan Qi in a joking manner.

  In his opinion, taking an old man as an apprentice was really out of place.

  He would rather be alone and free, which is more comfortable and won't have any burden.

  "You're not a Xingyiquan practitioner, yet you can do the Three Body Stance and it's not bad at all. It seems your relationship with the Xingyi school is quite good!" Luo Tong stared at Xuan Qi and asked.

  Lu Pengfei said, "Master Uncle, he's just an ordinary student, probably has a good natural talent, nothing special, no background, I've already investigated carefully, don't worry, won't cause any trouble." Lu Pengfei felt extremely impatient with Luo Tong's cautiousness and carefulness, if Luo Tong were his subordinate, he would have scolded him long ago.

  In his opinion, Luo Tong was being overly cautious. It's just hitting a student, do you need to be so tentative and exploratory? It's really too timid.

  In his words, he might as well just get rid of Xuan Qi directly and be done with it, no need to waste any more words on him.

  "Since you won't say, then die in bad luck. Anyway, the ignorant are innocent! Even if your superiors come to me, they can't blame me for bullying the weak." Seeing that Xuán Qí was still not revealing his background, Luó Tōng became somewhat impatient.

  "Give it a try then!" After the triple-breathing exercise, Xuan Qi had fully recovered his combat strength. The redness on his chest had disappeared and he was completely back to normal.

  At this time, he also gradually found some confidence. By his side, there was Lao Ding, a versatile person who kept encouraging him to keep going.

  "In my opinion, as long as you can exert half of your strength, he will definitely lose. However, now you have only exerted three-tenths of your power."

  Lao Ding commented in Xuan Qi's ear at this time.

  "Three Become One?"

  Xuan Qi didn't think he had held back, and upon hearing this, he said: "I clearly used all my strength, how can you say I only used 30% of my power? At a time like this, why would I hold back?"

  As for Lao Ding's words, Xuan Qi was very puzzled and hurriedly asked what was going on.

  Lao Ding was enjoying the feeling of selling Guan Zi, and when Xuan Qi became somewhat impatient, he said: "Your body has been modified to contain the powerful strength of a congenital high-handed person. After building the foundation, you can exert your true strength, and ordinary acquired martial artists are not your opponents. However, this innate thing requires moving with one's heart to exert its greatest power. You did that when you fought the thugs earlier. The unity of form and meaning is the essence of combat, as well as the true mantra and ultimate pursuit of Xingyiquan."

  "What you said is so absurd, I feel like I was scared out of my wits, so I just flailed around randomly, how could it be that powerful?" Xuán Qí recalled his previous state, similar to a mad demon, and also had some doubts and confusion in his heart.

  He was unclear why he had entered this state, as if possessed by a heavenly spirit, beating the enemy into a state of utter defeat. However, this state made him feel somewhat terrified.

  After all, this kind of brutal character is not what he originally had. Moreover, this emotion is easy to lose control and will cause great destructive power.

  "Of course, what you did just now was only a sign of entering madness, although it has the same effect as unifying form and meaning, but it's not the right way, easy to collapse. If I hadn't awakened you just now, I'm afraid you might have really entered madness."

  "What if it's a case of 'entering madness through excessive energy'?" Upon hearing Lao Can's words, Xuan Qi felt a sense of lingering fear in his heart.

  "The problem isn't that serious, at most he'll just become a murderer, a violent maniac or a sadist, it's not a big deal..."

  "This is not serious yet!" Xuan Qi said with restraint.

  The old man seemed very calm and said: "In this life, I've seen everything. This little thing is nothing to me, it's just a small rain!"

  "Who has your experience of being an old turtle!" Xuan Qi said with a bad tone. This old guy, who doesn't know how long he's lived, can really use the phrase "eating more salt than rice" and "crossing more bridges than roads walked" to describe himself.

  After all, this old fellow had lived with his ancestors back in the day.

  Lao Ding said with a serious tone after joking around: "Alright, you just need to carefully recall how to stand in the Three Body Stance and apply its essence to your attacks. You will be unbeatable." "Three Body Stance, applied to combat!" Xuan Qi muttered to himself, starting to concentrate his mind on how to utilize the Three Body Stance.

  Everything in Xingyiquan's changes and techniques comes from the three-body stance, as long as he can use the three-body stance well, it is enough to compete with Luo Tong, a high-ranking Chaquan master.

  Xuan Qi re-entered the state, his eyes slightly narrowed, with a drowsy look, looking exceptionally relaxed, as if he didn't put Luo Tong in his eyes at all.

  Lu Tong was furious and said, "You think you're invincible just because you've mastered the Three-Body Style? Come try my Chaquan Gate's Heaven-Shaking Triple Cannons!"
