The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

2067, Iron Hand Skill

Aden-Lin walked up to Jing Fang and stared at him for a while. The strong wind on the planet Tatooine blew up her black hair, and her angular and heroic face carried a heroic temperament that could not be found on other women.

"Punch, hit me." Aden-Lin said.

Jing Fang nodded, and with all his strength, he held his breath and concentrated, and punched hard. This punch was so powerful that it even sounded like wind and thunder! However, the next second, Aden-Lin just struck back and punched back. Her fist did not seem to have any great momentum, and it was just such an ordinary punch that hit Jing Fang's fist directly.

Bang! ! With a muffled sound, Jing Fang was directly knocked several meters away by this punch! At this time, the power contained in Aden-Lin's fist exploded, blowing away the dust on the ground, forming a narrow fan in front of her.

Jing Fang got up from the ground, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and came to Aden-Lin.

Arden-Lin pointed to the fan-shaped space on the ground blown out by the strong wind from her punch, and said lightly: "Do you understand? In fact, the force used in my punch just now was not stronger than yours, but why did you lose?"

"I still can't do the way you taught me to exert force, and I wasted too much force in unnecessary places." Jing Fang scratched his head like a child who had done something wrong.

"Ters Ksi is not a kind of power, you have to remember. The core of this martial art lies in control and mastery." Arden-Lin said as he came behind Jing Fang, raised his hand to grab his arms, and said, "Do it again."

Jing Fang nodded. In this posture, his body was very close to Arden-Lin's, so he could almost smell the light fragrance mixed with sweat on his master's body, which made his face blush.

Sensing the change in his apprentice, Arden Lin sighed and said, "Okay, put away your distractions. Let's do it again." Although as a person who has experienced it, she can clearly understand Jing Fang's thoughts about her, but she is now deliberately avoiding this matter. She took two steps back and stopped holding Jing Fang's arm, but used her own Force to guide Jing Fang's actions, "Unlike the Jedi Knights, you need to feel the Force and then apply the Force to your five senses. Terras-Kesh wants you to turn your whole body into a weapon, not just your fists... Your eyes, your ears, your nose, your brain, are all part of this weapon. Use your body to feel, not the Force." Jing Fang nodded, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and slowly made movements with his hands. These slow movements, like Tai Chi, do not have a fixed routine, but Jing Fang guides the Force to all his senses and makes movements naturally following the operation of the Force. Then, he suddenly opened his eyes, stepped forward, and punched out with a straight punch, "Hah!"

Aden-Lin raised her left hand and went straight to meet him. With a bang, her palm wrapped around Jing Fang's fist. A strong gust of wind instantly erupted around her body, followed by another bang! Only to see a large dent appear on the wall of the house more than ten meters behind Aden-Lin, countless cracks began to spread, and then with a crash, the wall fell down.

"I... I succeeded!!" Jing Fang was extremely happy and grabbed Aden-Lin's hand.

Aden-Lin frowned. Originally, her palm wrapped around Jing Fang's fist, but Jing Fang did this, and the two of them had their hands in a position of clasping their fingers.

Jing Fang also noticed his own loss of composure at this time, and quickly let go of his hand and stepped back two steps, clasping his fists to salute Aden-Lin.

Aden-Lin nodded and clasped his fists in return.

It's quite interesting to say that this clasping fists salute was taught to Aden-Lin by Jing Fang.

A few years ago, after Arden Lin agreed to accept Jing Fang as his apprentice, Jing Fang performed this fist-holding salute on a whim when teaching was completed. Arden Lin found it very interesting at the time and asked Jing Fang about the origin of this gesture. Jing Fang told her that this was an ancient culture of the Dawn Planet that was almost lost. It was the etiquette of martial artists. The left palm and the right fist were the etiquette of sparring, and the left fist and the right palm were the etiquette of life and death.

As a result, Arden Lin felt that this ancient etiquette was very suitable for the concept of Terras-Kesh that she practiced. She also wanted to let go of her past and start over, so she decided to use the fist-holding salute as the unique etiquette of her lineage.

Looking back at the power of Jing Fang's punch, Arden Lin nodded with satisfaction, "Many people call Terras-Kesh the Iron Hand Kung Fu, but this cannot express the full extent of this martial art. The destructive power generated by the fist is only the final manifestation of a series of practice, perception, and force of Terras-Kesh. This is a Kung Fu from the inside out. The movements of a true Terras-Kesh master are so strange that people cannot even detect any abnormality. Only at the moment of the explosion can the destructive power be displayed. It is precisely because of this that Terras-Kesh can allow us to fight against Jedi Knights with lightsabers with bare hands."

"I understand, Master." Jing Fang said seriously.

"Even I still have a long way to go to reach that level." Arden Lin raised his mechanical right arm and said, "Otherwise, I would not have lost to Yoda and the Angel of Death."

Jing Fang said: "Actually, after fighting Master Yoda and the Angel of Death, I am still alive to say this, which is a kind of strength in itself."

Arden-Lin snorted coldly, walked over and patted Jing Fang hard on the shoulder, "Whether it's the Emperor of the Empire or the Grand Duke of Dawn, you have to know that Terras Kesh is no less than them. One day, I will beat them all to the sky with my own hands!”

Jing Fang nodded solemnly, "We can definitely do it! Overthrow the dark and evil rule of these two Sith Lords!"

"Can't you make it look like you're taking an oath every time?" Arden-Lin smiled and waved his hand, "How do you still think you're in the Jedi Order all these years?"

"No. The war between the Sith Lords has brought harm to the galaxy. I see it every day. Regardless of whether I am from the perspective of the Jedi Order or not, I cannot tolerate it!" Jing Fang said.

"Well, what I can't tolerate even more than this is that you smashed a hole in our house. So you must fix the hole before dark." Arden Lin waved his hand, "Hola ( Hora) Why hasn’t he come back yet? Where has he gone?”

Hora is Arden-Lin's second apprentice, KkH'Oar'Rrhr, the Force-sensitive person of the Tusken Sand people and the leader of the Rrhr tribe.

After he also became a disciple of Aden Lin, for the sake of convenience, Aden Lin called him Hora.

Jing Fang frowned and said, "Hola told me that his tribe robbed an imperial transport team yesterday, so he was worried that the tribe would be in trouble, so he went back and prepared to organize the tribe members to hide for two days."

Arden Lin frowned when he heard this, "The Empire's transport team? When did the Galactic Empire reach out to Tatooine?"

"Ever since the Hutt civil war broke out, there has never been a day of peace here on the planet Tatooine. Both the Galactic Empire and the Principality of Dawn are secretly controlling the situation, so it's not surprising that an imperial transport team appears, right?" Jing Fang spread his hands and said. .
