All the students' attention was drawn back by Qin Wu's words. Most of them were very excited because, due to their ordinary family backgrounds and average talents, they had never practiced those practical martial arts.
Previously, whether it was Mu Zhenfei's battle with Di Ming or Ye Xiwén defeating Mu Zhenfei in one move, they actually hadn't used martial arts; they had just relied on their physical abilities.
The purpose of martial arts is to maximize the use of one's physical abilities to defeat opponents.
Therefore, everyone was eager to learn. Although the instructor wouldn't teach them anything particularly good, it would be a waste not to learn something that was free.
All eyes were focused on Qin Wu. He paused for a moment and then said, "I won't emphasize the importance of martial arts too much. Today, I will teach you a set of boxing techniques called Tiger Demon Fist. This set of boxing techniques was created by a master from an ancient civilization based on a magical tiger of that time!"
"However, this set of boxing techniques has certain requirements for one's cultivation. Only when you reach the sixth level of the Physical Body Realm, where your muscles and bones resonate, and your physical body is strong enough, can you practice it freely. Most of you haven't reached this level, so be careful when practicing. If you feel you can't handle it, stop immediately. Otherwise, if you suffer any hidden injuries, it will be counterproductive!"
"What? Learning this Tiger Demon Fist actually has physical restrictions!"
"This is normal. The more powerful the martial art, the higher the requirements for one's physical body. Cultivation is based on the physical body. A tall building rises from the ground. The stronger the physical body, the more powerful other skills can be!"
"That's true. I've heard that powerful martial artists can even collapse a mountain with one punch. In ancient times, they were considered terrestrial immortals, revered as gods and buddhas!"
"The instructor is right. Unless you can cultivate to the point where your brain is highly developed and you can generate supernatural powers, you won't be so dependent on your physical body!"
"We can't even dream of that. Such beings are as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns in the entire human race!"
The students were discussing heatedly. Most of the students in the class were only at the fourth or fifth level, and some were even at the third level. Only a few had reached the sixth level or higher.
However, although they weren't at the sixth level now, they would definitely reach it in the future. Learning it now wouldn't be a waste.
"Watch carefully!" Qin Wu shouted, clenched his fingers into a fist, and then punched out. "Qi flows throughout the body, mobilizing all the muscles. The first move is 'Tiger Descends the Mountain'!"
With this punch, his entire aura changed, as if he had truly transformed into a fierce tiger. The punch even caused a burst of air.
"The second move is 'Tiger Roars to the World'!"
"The third move is 'Tiger Shakes Its Head'!"
"The fourth move is 'Tiger Rips the Heart'!"
"The next is the final move, which none of you can learn now. You need to open your Qi Sea and reach the Qi Sea Realm to practice this move, 'King of the Forest'!"
Qin Wu's series of movements left everyone dazzled. His left and right hands moved continuously, as if a fierce tiger had truly descended from the mountain to hunt.
Chu Yunfan could even feel the wind from the punch, which made his cheeks hurt.
He thought to himself, martial arts are indeed powerful. Originally, with ten points of strength, through martial arts, one can exert twelve or even twenty points of strength. The more powerful the martial art, the greater the enhancement.
In his mind, he had the memories of the Pill Emperor, which included some very powerful martial arts, especially those recorded in the "Imperial Combat Canon," which were extremely powerful. However, there was a prerequisite: he had to reach the corresponding level to use them.
Especially, powerful martial arts consume a lot of qi and blood. Even if he勉强 used them, he would be drained of all his qi and blood and die as a mummy.
Therefore, the most suitable martial art for him now was the Tiger Demon Fist.
Chu Yunfan felt he had entered a mysterious state, his eyes fixed on Qin Wu's movements. The actions were recorded in his mind, replaying continuously.
Each replay made him feel he had learned a bit more. By the time Qin Wu demonstrated the third time, he found he could already grasp the basics of the Tiger Demon Fist.
However, he didn't say anything.
"My demonstration is over. After class, I will send the video of practicing the Tiger Demon Fist to your emails. You can practice it privately, but don't do it too frequently; it's very energy-consuming!" Qin Wu said. "Now, I will choose someone to demonstrate. Is there anyone who has already mastered it?"
"Teacher, I have mastered it!"
At this moment, Feng Deying raised his hand and stood up, looking proud.
"Alright, give it a try!" Qin Wu nodded.
Feng Deying took a stance and then shouted, "Tiger Descends the Mountain!"
"Tiger Roars to the World!"
"Tiger Shakes Its Head!"
"Tiger Rips the Heart!"
Feng Deying demonstrated four moves but didn't show the final move, "King of the Forest," because it was too demanding on the body and required the Qi Sea Realm. Although Feng Deying was at the ninth level of the Physical Body Realm, he was still one step away from the Qi Sea Realm.
His movements were smooth and fluid.
"Very good, very good. You must have learned this Tiger Demon Fist from a private tutor before!" Qin Wu said.
The other students also looked unperturbed. In modern society, it was unfair that ordinary people might only have the chance to learn martial arts now, while Feng Deying had already been practicing for a long time.
"Yes, my private martial arts coach told me that among the widely spread martial arts, the Tiger Demon Fist is the most powerful, but it also has a high physical burden. Ordinary people can't cultivate it, but I am different. I am a genius, and the Tiger Demon Fist is the most suitable for me!" Feng Deying said proudly.
"Your private tutor is very skilled. The Tiger Demon Fist is indeed the most powerful among the basic martial arts, and it is difficult for ordinary people to learn. However, it is the most cost-effective. Even at the Qi Sea Realm, it is still very powerful!" Qin Wu explained why he chose to teach the Tiger Demon Fist.
"You must have been practicing for several months and have already reached the 'Entering the Hall' stage. Your comprehension is quite good!" Qin Wu looked at Feng Deying and then at the others. "This is a good opportunity to introduce the stages of martial arts cultivation. From the beginning, when you can complete a set of martial arts, it is 'Slightly Understanding.' When you can perform it smoothly and combine the moves freely, it is 'Entering the Hall.' At this stage, you have achieved a certain level in this martial art."
"After 'Entering the Hall,' it is 'Mastery.' Reaching this level is the limit for most people. You can vaguely touch the edge of the boxing intent. My cultivation in the Tiger Demon Fist is at this level."
"After 'Mastery,' it is 'Perfection.' People who can reach this level in a martial art are extremely rare. Even among the masses, there might not be one in ten thousand! Of course, this is also related to the fact that most people eventually switch to other martial arts."
Qin Wu introduced the four stages of martial arts cultivation: 'Slightly Understanding,' 'Entering the Hall,' 'Mastery,' and 'Perfection.'
Chu Yunfan estimated based on the four stages of martial arts cultivation that Qin Wu mentioned. He found that he was already at the 'Entering the Hall' level. It was astonishing that he had reached this level, considering that Feng Deying had practiced for several months to reach the same level.
"Coach, I think demonstrating the Tiger Demon Fist alone doesn't show its power. I want to find a classmate to spar!" Feng Deying suddenly said.
"Sure, only in actual combat can you make greater progress!" Qin Wu nodded.
Everyone's eyes turned to Tang Siyu and Gao Hongzhi. With Feng Deying's strength, the only ones in the class who could match him were Tang Siyu or Gao Hongzhi.
However, to everyone's surprise, Feng Deying walked straight to Chu Yunfan and said, "Chu Yunfan, let's spar!"
Gao Hongzhi jumped up and said, "Class President, isn't this a bit bullying the weak? You know Yunfan is only at the sixth level. Is it just because he embarrassed you in class this morning that you are so persistent?"
Gao Hongzhi and Feng Deying had been rivals for two years, so he understood why Feng Deying was targeting Chu Yunfan. He knew that Feng Deying, despite being the class president and the heartthrob of Class 11, had a very small heart and was quick to take revenge.
Even though his intentions were exposed, Feng Deying's expression didn't change. He just stared at Chu Yunfan and said, "Chu Yunfan, you're not afraid, are you? This is just a sparring match. I can suppress my strength to the same level as yours, the sixth level. What do you think?"
"Shameless!" Gao Hongzhi cursed. Although Feng Deying could suppress his strength to the sixth level, he was already at the ninth level, and his physical body was much stronger than Chu Yunfan's.
This seemed fair but was actually unfair.
"Chu Yunfan, you poor people probably haven't learned martial arts before. I can guide you in practicing the Tiger Demon Fist, which is like having a private tutor. Do you know how much a private tutor costs? It's a month's salary for your parents!"
Seeing that Chu Yunfan was unmoved, Feng Deying added with a sneer.
Chu Yunfan didn't want to argue with Feng Deying, but Feng Deying's provocation and the mention of his parents had crossed his line.
How could he tolerate this?
"Enough talk, let's spar!" Chu Yunfan stepped forward.
"Yunfan, he is clearly targeting you. You will be at a great disadvantage!" Gao Hongzhi said.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine!" Chu Yunfan nodded, his expression resolute.
Qin Wu, seeing this, only nodded slightly and didn't intend to interfere.
