Chapter 43: The Profound Meaning Of Military Boxing: Full-Body Control
During normal school hours, school students had to fight 10 times a month, which made it difficult to keep information on the students confidential. Most of the information on the students could be easily obtained by others.
This was exactly the case right now. Everyone was able to obtain videos of the person who ranked first. Lin Yao felt that someone must have been playing his video as well.
Just as he had expected, many people were indeed watching his combat videos, but especially the videos of those who were in the top class. They were even keener on watching the videos of powerful figures.
Among these videos, Lin Yao’s video was not the most popular. That was Di Qiang’s video, as he was the most popular among the students. He had ranked first this time.
Di Qiang, who was in his third year of high school, was not very tall. He was considered short compared to Lin Yao, let alone Zhou Yang.
Besides, he was not well-built. In fact, he was quite lean.
However, everyone in the city’s No. 4 High School that was not in the top class was watching him. Some of the students in the top class were also closely keeping track of his progress.
This was understandable, as he was a force to be reckoned with.
The video showed the year-three Class One final match between Di Qiang, who ranked first, and Xu Wanqing, who ranked second.
Xu Wanqing, who was from a top class, was extremely powerful. She was an intermediate martial artist with water-based talent. Thus, she had almost no shortcomings.
She was very cautious during the fight against Di Qiang. She drew her long sword and used the Great River Swordsmanship as soon as the match started.
“Start!”
The coach in the arena signaled for the match to start. Right at that moment, waves of water formed next to Xu Wanqing, and she charged forward as though she was stepping on clouds made of smoke.
She might be fast, but Di Qiang was way faster than her.
As soon as the match started, loud firecracker sounds were heard from Di Qiang’s side, resounding like thunder. Lin Yao had the feeling that Di Qiang’s entire body was moving as one.
‘This is… Tiger-Panther Rumbling Thunder. This is Vibrating Muscles Tiger-Panther Rumbling Thunder!’
Lin Yao was shocked by the astonishing scene he saw in the arena. Right at that moment, Di Qiang, whose entire body was vibrating and emitting a low rumble, bolted toward Xu Wanqing like a flying arrow.
When he closed in on her, the video showed his movements in slow motion. Lin Yao could see clearly that Di Qiang, who was charging at a high speed, suddenly stopped abruptly.
Every object and human had potential energy. The heavier one was, the higher one’s potential energy would be. This was why it was difficult for cars and trucks to break immediately when they were traveling at a high speed.
Such cases would definitely result in an accident, and the vehicle would be damaged, killing the passengers inside. At times, the vehicle would also leave tire marks on the road. However, Di Qiang was different. He had mastered Vibrating Muscles Tiger-Panther Rumbling Thunder, so he had ultimate control of his body.
The forward momentum did not hinder him. Instead, it was turned into an attacking force by him.
Lin Yao could clearly see in the slow-motion video that Di Qiang had suddenly stomped to a stop when he had been moving at his highest speed. A powerful force came rising from the ground, traveling to Di Qiang’s feet and his lower limbs, then all the way to his waist before being released through his arms.
By merely stomping his feet, Di Qiang, who had mastered Vibrating Muscles Tiger-Panther Rumbling Thunder, transmitted the powerful force through his body layer by layer, gathering it in his fist without causing any damage to his body.
Besides, the force did not just help him gather his energy. It was also combined with the forward rushing potential energy, creating a loud sound.
What was even more terrifying was that Di Qiang not only had powerful offensive abilities, but he also had very precise timing. As he gathered all his energy layer by layer, pushing it to the limit and releasing it all at once, Xu Wanqing, who moved forward with her Cloud Mist Step, happened to slam into his fists. Everything seemed staged.
However, this was not an act but real combat. Xu Wanqing did not wish to lose. She was shocked by the sudden attack. She swung the sword in her hand right away, directing her water-based spirit energy along with the Great River Swordsmanship. Everyone could hear the sounds of a flowing river.
She might have formed a fast-flowing river, but it was blocked by Di Qiang’s fist even before it could gather momentum.
Xu Wanqing had yet to fully utilize her swordsmanship, and Di Qiang had already gathered all his power and potential energy in his fist. The powerful force sent Xu Wanqing’s long sword flying, and she was left without a weapon.
‘He is very powerful.’
After sending Xu Wanqing’s long sword flying with his fist, Di Qiang did not give her time to react. Instead, he took another step forward. His muscles and bones vibrated, and he slammed forward into her like a crashing mountain.
[Iron Mountain Crash]
Xu Wanqing had no choice but to block Di Qiang’s advancing attacks. She no longer had the long sword with her. She could only use Folding Triple-Layered Waves to defend herself. However, after this head-on clash, Lin Yao was quick to notice that her arms were trembling and she could not gather any more strength. Lin Yao was lost in thought.
‘One cannot use such moves with strength alone. Is Di Qiang a low-level or advanced martial artist? Is this his hidden power, or is he using a special palm method?’
While Lin Yao was still pondering this, the winner was decided. Xu Wanqing was rendered defenseless with one blow from Di Qiang. The subsequent collision was unstoppable. Although she used Folding Triple-Layered Waves to defend herself against his attack, her trembling arms could not muster any strength at all. As a result, Di Qiang crashed right into Xu Wanqing, completely knocking her out of the arena. She was sent flying out of the arena before falling on the ground. Lin Yao was surprised that she did not suffer any major injuries. It seemed that she had just run out of energy.
‘He has good, precise control of his strength. However, it’s normal to have such superb control given that he has mastered Vibrating Muscles.’
“Ah Yao, do you think Di Qiang did it on purpose? Goddess Xu’s chest armor was almost flattened by that collision.”
Lin Yao, who had been amazed by Di Qiang’s immense power, could not help but roll his eyes at this comment.
“This is not the time for this. Di Qiang has mastered the profound meaning of the move, which is the most difficult profound meaning of a technique.”
That was right. This was the profound meaning of the technique. That was the reason Di Qiang, who was a low-level martial artist, had been able to defeat Xu Wanqing, leaving her with no room to defend herself. This was the killing move that was most difficult to achieve among the “fighting”, “practicing”, “nurturing”, and “killing” moves.
There were five levels of proficiency when it came to most martial arts skills. Among them, there was a big difference between mastering the profound meaning and not mastering the profound meaning. Even if two people had the same skill, it would be considered two different skills if one mastered the killer move and the other person did not.
This also applied to the dojos. A dojo was a place where students spent money to learn martial arts, but it was also a place where powerful figures recruited disciples. No matter which level one was at initially, as long as one learned the profound meaning of the martial arts taught in the dojo, one would become a true disciple. This was the power of mastering the profound meaning of a technique.
‘This is the profound meaning of military boxing. To think that someone actually mastered it… He is a powerful figure.’
Among the various profound meanings, it was more difficult to comprehend the profound meaning of techniques rather than combat skills. However, it was also more powerful and useful. Di Qiang had comprehended the profound meaning of military boxing, which was a gold technique. Since many people practiced military boxing, some of them geniuses, Lin Yao knew the killing moves of military boxing.
‘The main function of military boxing is to train and control oneself, and the profound meaning of military boxing is also related to this. Some people call this full-body control, while some people call it unlocking the gene lock. The most important part of this profound meaning is that the body could be in its best state at any time, and one can gather all their physical strength in the shortest time possible.’
It was very difficult for a person to exert all the strength in their whole body. An ordinary person could only exert 15% to 30% of their full strength, while one could only reach 30% to 50% after training.
However, a person who had mastered the profound meaning of military boxing could mobilize all the strength in their body within a very short time to reach 100% of their total body strength. If the opponent could unleash 100% of their body strength, while the other party could only unleash half of their body strength, there would be a huge difference in one’s combat effectiveness. Even if one unleashed the vital energy seed, there would only be an increase of 30%.
In addition to gaining ultimate power, people who could unlock the gene lock also had the ability to overclock. This meant that they could unlock some physical limitations through the stimulation of spirit energy, thereby unleashing 120%, 150%, or even 200% of one’s strength.
