Romance of Dragons and Snakes Chapter 68

Wang Chao understood this clearly since it had been written by Tang Zichen in the True Record of Guoshu: the Drilling Jin of a fist required the twisting of one’s waist and temper the kidneys. If one were to learn Hidden Jin in this area, then their breath would stabilize during this time and the Hidden Jin would travel through into the lower back and near the waist. During this time, the stance should not waver or be stopped in panic.

Even the tiger stance was of the same way. The tiger stance’s Chopping Jin was a bit similar to gymnastics way of strengthening their chest in order for it to toughen it up.

Wang Chao had learned the tiger and snake stance to the stage of where the “sound follows the fist” had blended with the Hidden Jin. After half a month with the right conditions, he had finally refined his back, chest, and even the lower back so that it was far more sensitive to Hidden Jin than before.

With time and constant practice, the Hidden Jin would definitely reach those three spots sooner or later.

“How marvelous!” Boulder and Axe had cried out in praise as soon as Wang Chao finished.

“This shouldn’t be that rare, but I’m curious then, does the army really not have any experts? Out of all the fighters, snipers, technologists, or demolition experts, do they not know this?” Wang Chao asked.

These soldiers had learned many things to an excellent degree. Boulder and the others were all expert snipers, specialists in demolition, hackers, and even better wrestlers than Wang Chao. Being called the PRC army did not suit them, instead, they were better called the army of the heavens.

“Uhm…actually…” When Boulder heard Wang Chao’s question, he began to think back to his memories. “Several years ago when I was training in Beijing, there was a retired martial artist. He was jumping around the place and scratching wildly with the sounds of a monkey. At that time, I thought him to be funny and thought he was doing some sort of acrobatics and paid no more attention to it. But thinking about it now, it was really quite magical.”

“That is an expert of the Monkey Fist, but you liken it to being a sideshow…” Wang Chao had taken his words a little offended, but he could see how Boulder had thought that way.

Amongst the martial art disciplines, the monkey styled ones were the most unsightly. If one were to reach the spirit and form stage with it, then they would be as nimble and quick as a monkey. All four limbs would be devastating and unpredictable in its attempt to claw the face and gouge the eyes. Its killing potential was huge, and very little would be an opponent for an expert who has reached the Hidden Jin stage with the monkey stance.

But at the same time, this style of fighting was very unappealing to others.

Back in the Republic of China time, a Wushu expert and Monkey Fist expert had fought each other only to end with the Wushu expert having his face smashed in.

After all, those who have been able to bring the Hidden Jin to their face were those who have reached the Transforming Jin stage.

The two hardest places for the Hidden Jin to reach was the face and five inches below the lower abdomen.

Author note: Three inches below the lower abdomen is the dantian. Everyone should know what’s five inches below then.

To learn the monkey stance of Xingyi would lead to the same effect as the Monkey Fist.

In actuality, when Wang Chao killed Qin Maojiao, his White Ape style Tongbei Quan had not yet reached a stage of self-enthrallment. But his speed was still utterly inconceivable. If it were not for Wang Chao showing his hidden potential and release the roar of a tiger, then the battle would have been much more intense.

“So what does the organization say? There’s still half a month until my fight with Zhang Wei.” Wang Chao asked.

“The organization sent us some new information a few days ago just to tell you to focus on martial arts and nothing else. The organization will send people to take care of the underground fighting rings.” Boulder spoke.

“However, after you killed Qin Maojiao, Xu Zhen had made some movements. But we’ve made some inquiries and so your true identity has yet to be revealed. In two days we’ll make the preparations to head to Chaozhou.”

They did not mention that the third day after Qin Maojiao’s death, Xu Zhen had been told of the news and instantly flew from Hong Kong to Guangdong City.

Even Chen Bin had given a call to her brother Chen Aiyang.

“Big brother? I’ve met a strong expert of Xingyi and even in the art of the sword. He’s killed Qin Maojiao, and he was quite good when I tested him!”
