As long as the blood flows and shelters, who will stand against these fists of fury!

Xun Xie looked down at his fist, wrapped in blood, he didn't suffer any damage from the shock, and his skin wasn't broken.

It was only at this moment that Xun Xie had personally experienced the power of a martial artist, breaking the monument with one punch with ease. Recalling that first scene when he first arrived in town. Those two were probably blood martial artists.

Thinking about it now, he had developed a move when experimenting on how much force he could exert, trying his most powerful attack, it was a side project when he was weaker but he had revamped it when he won the chance to become a martial sage.

He progressed by leaps and bounds but it was also thanks to the martial sage state that he knew not to actually do the move, otherwise, his arm being shattered was just the main injury, and everywhere else would suffer as well.

It had been put on the shelf ever since,

With blood energy to protect him and even make him stronger couldn’t he…

Xun Xie couldn't help but squint at Old Man Hu, without any bad thoughts in his heart at all.

Seeing that Xun Xie could learn it in one go, Old Man Hu was in good spirits, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll teach you 'Explosive Claw Attack' next."

Xun Xie: "Explosive Claw?"

Old Man Hu: "It's just a series of claws to target the opponent.

Your stone-shattering shock punch just now focused blood on your right fist, but you can't fight with others with only one hand, right?

The so-called explosive claw is to form a claw and swipe and push to hit continuously or use both hands together, to output damage without stopping. It’s mainly shock attacks, but a tearing effect can be induced like real claws of course another move focuses on that."

Having said that, Old Man Hu took a stance, sent out his fists, and attacked the air.

All of a sudden, Xun Xie's eyes were full of clawing images. Those clawing images were swiped at the same moment forming a multitude of shadows, blasting out neatly, hitting forward like a tide of waves.

Moreover, Old Man Hu continued to punch for a while without stopping!

Well, Old Man Hu stopped his punches and asked Xun Xie with a smile, "Guess how many claws I swiped just now?"

How could Xun Xie know, he just guessed: "A thousand claws?"

Old Man Hu smiled and said: "You guessed it right, it's a thousand claws. If someone is blocked by me, a thousand claws can beat bruise their carcass and disintegrate their insides."

Xun Xie's heart is awe-inspiring, it's really a thousand claws!

Immediately, he shook his head and humbly asked Old Man Hu for advice on explosive claw martial skills.

Old Man Hu first taught Xun Xie how to claw.

"The claw is not to disperse the blood energy, every talon made with the fingers is to gather as much blood energy as possible and hit it out, you send streams to each claw, varying the speed and intensity can have different effects, feel it by yourself when you are practicing.

Of course, if you have enough time to gather all the blood energy in your body into your claws with a uniform amount on each talon, the power of explosive claw is naturally considerable.

However, in actual combat, the enemy is swift as well as quick-witted and responsive. You don't have that much time to gather blood, and the time available is often only a moment.

So, we must seize the momentary gap and concentrate as much blood energy into our claw talons as possible. There is no other way to do this than practice and develop a habit. "

Old Man Hu exhorted.

Xun Xie's mind quickly became clear, and with the blessing of the Great Clarity x10 plug-in, he quickly understood the mystery of the explosive attack. Next, as long as he studied hard and practiced hard, he would become faster and stronger.

He felt through his current insight that there was a lot of room for growth, not just with his learning and execution but with the moves themselves, but it was like having something at the tip of your tongue yet still in the clouds, he would have to wait to become either a quasi-sage or a full martial sage with thousand and ten thousand critical xies.

The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.

In the blink of an eye, a month flies by.

In the side yard.

"Explosive Claw!" Xun Xie stood firm and punched both fists at the stone monument in front of him. The shadow of the claws twisting like dragons.

Cak! CAK! cak!...

The stone tablet was filled with dents and cracks, but that wasn’t all. Xun Xie reached out to fingers coated in blood energy and poked the tablet, the resistance was thin as if it wasn’t a stone at all and just paper, feeling inside and looking through the holes made by his fingers, you would find the inside reduced to dust and rubble!

At this moment, the stone tablet collapsed in on itself sending dust everywhere.

Xun Xie closed his claws into a fist, a trace of white smoke rose from his red fist.

"Not bad."

Old Man Hu looked into his eyes, nodded, and said, "It seems that you are proficient in this explosive claw skill. In my yard, there are less than ten people who can practice to your level. Remember this is just learning.

Being a martial artist means forging your own path, you’ll have to merge your fighting style with the moves only then can it be a true martial skill. Not to worry though, you’ll get there. Even I have just completed merging my style with my moves, partly because my style itself just matured with wisdom and practice. Still good job."

Xun Xie remained humble and said, "It's all because Mr. Hu taught me well, and the student has benefited a lot."

Old Man Hu smiled with satisfaction, "The claw has been learned, and I'll teach you 'footwork' later."

Xun Xie was refreshed, "What is that?" He had an inkling, but he actually knew nothing so having the right attitude would only benefit himself.

Old Man Hu: "Simply put, it is the martial art of moving the body. You must know that our enemies are not dead, they are people, strange beasts, and even demons who can move at will. You stand on the spot and perform claw strikes, and you fight naturally and smoothly. But if the enemy is running around, how do you fight?"

Xun Xie was stunned, and immediately followed Old Man Hu to learn footwork.

"The blood energy produced by Ruling-Spirit Kung Fu has the attribute of Ruling-Spirit Power.

In other words, we are good at shocks and ignoring defenses, but we are not really good at speed.

For example, if you and I ran a long-distance attack, our endurance could hold up, but we couldn't be truly fast!

Once we meet a master of light body techniques we will suffer greatly, and we will not be able to catch up with each other.

However, one of the major characteristics of the Ruling-Spirit Power is that it has a particularly strong explosive power as a result of the shockwaves. Therefore, we make use of our strengths and avoid weaknesses, and use the advantage of excellent explosive power to develop the most suitable body technique for us. "

Old Man Hu taught Xun Xie a set of footwork.

This footwork, to put it bluntly, is also based on Blood Strength which transfers blood energy to both feet, enhances the instantaneous explosive power, and thus increases the movement speed.

Old Man Hu drew a large circle on the ground, about ten meters in diameter.

"The explosive force comes and goes quickly, and the movement range is limited. Then, within a limited range, we must harass the enemy and defeat the enemy."

Old Man Hu greeted him and let Xun Xie enter the circle.

"Have you ever played an eagle to catch a chick? Now you are an eagle, and I am a chick, so come and catch me." Old man Hu crossed his hands on his chest, looking relaxed.

Xun Xie twitched the corner of his mouth, used his footwork, shook his shoulders, and rushed towards Old Man Hu, with a distance of a few meters, and rushed towards him.

Reach out and grab the head!

Unexpectedly, Xun Xie's eyes flashed, and Old Man Hu disappeared from the spot.

His eyes swept his gaze, and he found that old man Hu appeared behind him with a smile.

"Interesting."

Xun Xie was not discouraged and rushed towards Old Man Hu again and again. Despite not being a master of leg-focused kung fu, the old man was quite fast.

Midsummer is here, and the weather is hot.

It's been a little over a year since Xun Xie's transmigration.

The side yard, inside the circle.

The two shirtless figures moved quickly, and in the eyes of ordinary people, they were all afterimages.

Bang!

Xun Xie pointed his toes a little, and a small hole suddenly exploded on the ground under his feet, surrounded by cobweb-like cracks.

When the sound spread, the whole person rushed out, bringing a series of afterimages.

Swish!

The corners of Old Man Hu's clothes swung open suddenly, and the old man's eyes lit up and he stopped.

"It's alright, your hand touched the corner of my clothes just now." Old Man Hu nodded; a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Although he deliberately suppressed his speed and maintained his level at the peak of the first level of blood energy, with his sophistication and eyesight, how could it be possible for an apprentice to touch his body?

Xun Xie was dissatisfied, however, and sighed, "I just touched the corner of my clothes, but my movement is still far inferior to that of Old Man Hu."

Old man Hu rolled his eyes, if you really caught me, where would I put my old face. He felt this apprentice was a bit too monstrous and he should be careful when practicing with him otherwise he might slip up and really lose! However, next was…

"That's all for today. You take a rest. I'll teach you 'self-defense' tomorrow." Old Man Hu left with his hands behind with a weird smile, looking forward to it very much.

"Self-defense?" Xun Xie looked expectant.

Exited from the sideyard and entered the courtyard.

Xun Xie found an apprentice and bought nine taels of crocodile noodle fish meat, another nine taels of peppermint meat from another person, plus four taels of exotic animal meat from Old Man Hu. All in a day’s work and total daily food intake.

Spun the wheel and won nothing. But his progress with the chewing gum grass tolerance was decent.

At this time, he could eat five taels of exotic animal meat on a daily basis. After adding the grass as a side dish, his appetite soared, and he was able to eat nine taels of exotic animal meat.

Now, he was only thirteen years old. Such a big appetite is actually quite scary.

Return to Song Mansion and go straight to the study.

The maid, Lan Yue, was cleaning the study. She was standing in front of Xun Xie's desk with a dazed expression and a ruddy face.

Xun Xie glanced at it; it turned out that Lan Yue saw the paintings he painted.

The characters in the painting are lifelike.

Xun Xie in his previous life prefers realism. The characters he paints are as realistic as possible, and the paintings are extraordinarily realistic. Coupled with the unique charm of ink painting, the characters on the paper are as real as black and white photos.

Lan Yue looked at the person on the paper like she was looking in a mirror!
