Chapter 20 Devilish Training - 3 Punches, Is She Really a Genius?
Martial arts training ground.
Punching power testing area.
A gray force gauge stands in the center of the field, its surface covered with sensing units.
Zhang Yan crossed her arms and slightly raised her chin, giving off an air of "I'm going to teach you a lesson today."
"Put on three punches first, then I'll see."
Su Chen stood in front of the force gauge and took a deep breath.
He spent another hour learning the Mountain Opening Fist while on his way.
At this moment, the spiritual energy within his body is slowly flowing along the trajectory of the Mountain-Opening Fist.
Even though the acupoints haven't been activated yet, this feeling itself is better than doing nothing.
The first punch!
boom!
371 kg.
The second punch, 369kg.
The third punch, 375kg.
Su Chen shook his wrist.
He weighed 367kg during the joint entrance exam, and has exceeded that number three times now, but not by much...
In the strength category, once there's a small breakthrough, the improvement in stats is far more dramatic than in speed.
If he can reach the "beginner level" of his Body-Binding Technique, gaining 30 to 50 kilograms would be a piece of cake.
According to the assessment standards, five kilograms equals one point.
Fifty kilograms, that's a 10-point increase!
It looks like it's easy to get points, so why doesn't Su Chen want to?
Su Chen could only say: I can't do it!
Before they embarked on the path of martial arts, those elementary and middle school students all thought that reaching the fifth realm—the Spirit Martial Realm—was something anyone could do!
Once inside, they all became obedient.
Just like some people in their past lives who, upon seeing the answer to a math problem, thought, "Isn't this simple?"
He was very well-behaved during the exam!
"Tsk~ It's so-so!" Zhang Yan clicked her tongue, slowly walked up to him, and looked him up and down.
"Your shoulders are too tight when you're boxing." She poked Su Chen's right shoulder with her index finger. "Power starts from the ground, travels to the waist, then to the shoulder, and finally to the fist. When your shoulders are tight, that part is broken, and all the power is stuck in your elbow joint."
She poked his elbow again.
"And here too. When you throw a punch, your elbow joint should be 'relaxed,' not 'tight.' It's the fist that's tense, not the joint. You've got it all backwards."
As Su Chen listened, another voice was also swirling in his mind.
[Mountain-Splitting Fist Experience Points +1]
My experience points are actually increasing!
Although it's slow, it's definitely rising.
"Did you understand?" Zhang Yan asked, hands on her hips.
"Understood."
"What do you understand?"
"...Relax your shoulders, relax your elbows, and clench your fists."
"Hmph! At least you're listening." Zhang Yan took two steps back. "Let's start with fifty sets of push-ups to get a feel for relaxing your shoulders."
"Fifty sets? How many are in one set?"
"Twenty in a group."
Su Chen stared at her for two seconds: "A thousand?"
Isn't this just a deliberate act of mockery or a premeditated act of revenge?
"Yeah! You think it's not enough?" Zhang Yan blinked.
Su Chen took a deep breath and lay down.
"I'll do it!!"
........
After half an hour.
"Phew~"
Su Chen was covered in sweat, his collar was soaked, and he lay on the mat panting.
Zhang Yan squatted down to the side, propping her chin up with one hand, looking extremely smug.
"Too slow! I only need fifteen minutes."
"Hehe~" Su Chen lifted his face off the mat. "Just be smug. If it were just about me doing these things, I wouldn't get the sparring fee."
"Tch~ Who told you to train so poorly? That's why you have to train like this!" Zhang Yan stood up and kicked his shin. "Why aren't you putting in the same effort you use when you run? Come on, throw three more punches now!"
"My hands are too weak right now."
"Exactly! You have to see your limits when you're exhausted. If you encounter a demon outside and you're too weak to fight, do you tell it, 'Big brother, I was wrong, I won't fight anymore, let's fight another day'?"
As she said this, Zhang Yan made a gesture of "clasping her hands together in supplication," her eyes darting around like a little fox who had stolen a chicken.
Su Chen was amused and stood up, supporting himself on his knees.
It feels more tiring than running for two hours...
One punch! 312kg.
Two punches! 298kg.
The third punch... 295kg.
Each punch is worse than the last!
Zhang Yan frowned and shook her head. "Look! After you exhausted yourself, all your problems were exposed. Your shoulders weren't just loose, they were completely dislocated. Your elbows weren't just loose, they were completely collapsed. All those thousand push-ups you did were a complete waste."
She pulled over a soft cushion from the side and patted it.
"Come on, lie down!"
"...Lie down?" Su Chen looked at her warily.
"What are you thinking! I'm talking about core training. The root of your power transfer problem lies in your lower back and abdomen. If your lower back and abdomen are loose, the power will break down!"
Su Chen lay down.
In my mind...
[Mountain-Splitting Fist Experience Points +1]
[Overlord Body Technique Experience Points +1]
Ok?
Su Chen's brow twitched slightly.
Is she really a genius coach?
During the half hour of push-ups he did just now, his Mountain-Opening Fist experience points only increased by three points.
The Overlord Body Technique was even slower, only increasing by two points.
Ming Jin Jue, just one point! It seems to have little connection with Kai Shan Quan.
But now... Zhang Yan is just telling him what to do.
My experience points are already increasing?
Seeing this, Su Chen patiently and obediently accepted the training.
........
An hour passed.
Su Chen had been tormented by Zhang Yan to the point that he looked like he had been pulled out of the water.
First, core training: plank, crunches, leg raises, side planks, three sets of each exercise, each set to exhaustion.
Then came the specialized training in boxing techniques.
Air striking, striking a soft mat, standing meditation, breathing coordination...
After a series of punches, Su Chen felt like his body no longer belonged to him.
"Get up!" Zhang Yan said.
Su Chen lay motionless on the ground.
It's really withered!
"Get up, get up, get up! Stop pretending." Zhang Yan kicked the sole of his foot. "There's one last thing."
"......besides?"
"Yeah! Three more punches!"
Su Chen supported himself on his knees as he stood up and walked to the force gauge.
He took a deep breath and began to adjust his movements.
"Boom!"
337kg!
The second punch...341kg!
The third punch...343kg!
After delivering the three punches, Su Chen stared at the numbers jumping on the force gauge, his brows furrowing slightly.
Zhang Yan didn't make him stop for the entire hour.
These are all high-intensity training exercises! They consume a great deal of physical strength.
Compared to those three weak punches an hour ago.
The current score has improved by thirty or forty points!
This feeling... is amazing!
In comparison...
After finishing his lunch, he was full of energy and vitality, and threw a punch that weighed more than 370 kilograms.
But at that time, it felt like a spring that was fully charged, ready to be released at any moment.
After throwing a punch, he felt that he had only used 80% of his strength, and he could never use 100% of his strength!
Looking at the present...
My whole body aches, my muscles feel like wrung-out towels, and every joint is protesting.
But at the very moment he threw the punch, he felt a sense of clarity.
The power rises from the soles of the feet, passes through the knees, waist, and shoulders, and flows smoothly to the fist.
There was no lag, no obstruction, just like a river channel had been dredged.
It actually feels like... I'm putting all my strength into it!
"interesting!"
Is this little girl really a genius?
