The Strongest Soldier in the City

"Practice of martial arts also requires understanding. As long as you have enough understanding, nothing will be a problem! Of course, hard work and hard work accumulated through sweat are also indispensable!" Nu Xiu said with relief.

"Yes, this Xuanyuan Zhan can indeed be regarded as my first contact with martial arts in the true sense..." Chen Liuhe sighed.

"The old man Jinglong has good intentions for you. He can bear not to teach you any martial arts skills for so many years. Don't blame him. He wants you to live by pure strength. This is the only way. Only then will you always remain at the top of your class."

Nu Xiu said: "Once you are exposed to martial arts, your combat power will inevitably increase by another level."

Having said this, Nu Xiu suddenly thought of something, raised his eyebrows, and said: "By the way, boy, my teacher has never asked you, where did you learn Bajiquan?"

Hearing this, Chen Liuhe glanced at Nu Xiu and said casually: "Isn't Bajiquan a very common waijiquan? If you want to practice it, there are countless ways. This is almost every person who learns waijiquan. Everyone is proficient in one or two boxing techniques."

"You know that's not what I said! There are naturally many people who practice Bajiquan, but people who can practice it to such a high level as you are very rare! I know that your Bajiquan has reached a state of perfection. There are only a handful of people in this world who can compare with you." Nu Xiu said.

Chen Liuhe smiled and said: "It's not about being perfect. I just put in a hundred and a thousand times more effort and sweat than ordinary people! I have known since I was a child that there is no shortcut to improving my strength. Yes, if you want to become strong, there are only four words: study hard and practice hard!"

Nu Xiu nodded and said, "Indeed, this is the only path."

After a pause, his eyes suddenly became sharper. He stared at Chen Liuhe and said, "What about the ultimate secret of Bajiquan? Don't tell me, that's what you learned at will."

Hearing this, Chen Liuhe was startled for a moment and said: "Old man, this is what you wanted to ask at the beginning, right? You've come so far in circles with me, and you've gone around in circles, haven't you come back?"

"I'm just a little curious." Nu Xiu said lightly: "As we all know, the ultimate secret of Bajiquan has been lost for hundreds of years. Now that it can appear in your body, who can't be surprised?"

This question seemed to bring back some memories in Chen Liuhe's heart. He fell silent and looked to the west of the sky in a daze. The face of an old man could not help but appear in his mind...

After a long while, Chen Liuhe sighed softly and said: "I learned the eight-step kicking style from an old cripple abroad."

"Old cripple?" Nu Xiu was confused.

Chen Liuhe nodded: "Yes, he is an old cripple, an inconspicuous old cripple, and an old cripple with a tragic fate."

"What's his name?" Nu Xiu asked.

"I don't know. Until he died tragically, I didn't know what his real name was. He just asked me to call him Old Cripple..."

A trace of sadness flashed across Chen Liuhe's face. The old man he met at the World Hunter School must have left an important mark in his life and must have an important place in his heart. He will become his An indelible mark that will last forever!

Nu Xiu was surprised in his heart. After more than ten seconds, he shook his head and sighed: "It is true that masters have appeared among the people since ancient times. It seems that this is also a great blessing that your boy has encountered. It has been lost for a long time." Even the eight-step step to the sky can be taught to you... That old cripple you are talking about is definitely not an ordinary person. Even if he is ordinary enough, his ancestors are anything but ordinary."

Chen Liuhe pretended not to care and shrugged: "Who knows..."

"So, can you tell me, how far have you practiced the ultimate secret of Bajiquan? Which of the eight steps to the sky can you perform?" Nu Xiu stared at Chen Liuhe and asked.

Chen Liuhe licked his dry lips and said, "Want to hear the truth or lies?"

"Nonsense." Nu Xiu glared at Chen Liuhe angrily.

Chen Liuhe then said: "Six moves! I can only take the sixth step." Chen Liuhe did not hide anything. This is his true depth. Indeed, so far, he can only take the sixth move, six steps. Kick the demon.

Nu Xiu was not disappointed. Instead, he nodded in amazement and said, "You can be considered an extremely great person if you can practice the sixth form! If I guess correctly, when I was in Yunwu Sect last time, , the reason why you can fight so hard with the brats of the Taishang family is probably because of this extremely domineering trick, right?"

Chen Liuhe nodded and said: "That's right, if it weren't for the eight-step sky kicking technique, I would have died by their hands."

"Six steps to kick the demon?" Nu Xiu asked.

Chen Liuhe raised his eyebrows and said: "Old man, it seems that you have a good understanding of the ultimate secret of Bajiquan? You even know how to kick demons in six steps?"

Nu Xiu smiled and said: "I also know how to step on ghosts and gods with seven steps and step on heaven and earth with eight steps!"

"How do you know?" Chen Liuhe asked: "Since this eight-step kicking style has been lost for a long time, you shouldn't know it so clearly."

"Don't look at me with that kind of surprise. I have been studying all my life. What I have seen and heard is vast and complex. At the beginning, I also obtained a fragment of an ancient book. In the fragment, I read about these eight things. A simple description of the profound meaning of Jiquan, which contains a general summary and some unique insights." Nu Xiu said.

Hearing this, Chen Liuhe's eyes brightened up, and he immediately became interested. He said, "Really? What did the higher-ups say? Tell me."

Nu Xiu did not directly answer Chen Liuhe's question. Instead, he pondered for a moment and then said: "Boy, let me ask you first, do you fully understand these eight steps of kicking the sky?"

"What do you mean?" Chen Liuhe said, "Of course I understand. If I don't understand, how can I practice the sixth form? And master it skillfully?"

"That's not what I mean. What I mean is, do you really understand the eight steps of practice?" Nuxiu said meaningfully.

Meeting Nu Xiu's gaze, Chen Liuhe's body trembled violently, and his pupils couldn't help but dilate a bit. An obvious look of horror flashed through his eyes. He took a breath and said: "Old man , what do you mean? You..."

"It seems that my guess is correct. Don't you already understand what I mean? Your expression has already given the answer." Nu Xiu calmed down.
