Chapter 7

Chapter Seven: Dragon Claw Great Seizure

It turns out this was created by the Martial Arts Emperor, the King of Physical Prowess, the Super Grandmaster Wang Chao! This must be a very powerful martial art."

However, I don’t really believe the stories about Wang Chao. Two hundred years ago, Earth was still in the era of nations, with resources so scarce it was pitiful. They couldn’t even cure cancer or AIDS. How could such a primitive society produce such a figure? But official data says that Wang Chao’s peak vitality was tested in 2050, when he was 70 years old, and it was calculated to be 9. That’s ridiculous. Is he not a humanoid mech?"

"Peak vitality at 70? At that time, people were almost dead by 70. I think the official history is bull. They usually exaggerate how powerful the ancients were, but modern people are much more powerful."

"The average vitality of people back then was only 0.4-0.5. Now it’s 0.7, and modern people are more than twice as strong. But now, only the human elites in the Elite Zone have a vitality of 9. If my vitality were 9, why would I go to Sky University? I’d go straight to the Elite Zone and become a high-ranking official, a hundred times more powerful than the mayor of Starlight City."

"Stop talking nonsense. If your vitality reaches 0.9, you’d already be outstanding."

"Let’s not talk so much. Let’s see what kind of martial art it is."

"It’s a C-level physical technique."

"Why? Why can only Zhang Yue learn it? Is Lazy Dragon teacher giving Zhang Yue special treatment?"

"There’s no way. He has a vitality of 0.9. In our class of over 4,000 people, he’s the only one. In the entire senior year, with over 50 classes and 200,000 students, he can rank in the top few dozen. The school only cares about students who can get into Sky University; we are basically expendable." ...

Some classmates whispered, feeling resentful but helpless. That’s just how the elite are.

Lazy Dragon teacher heard these words but didn’t care: "If you want to learn my Dragon Claw Great Seizure, I don’t mind. You can come up and watch, but this martial art requires a very high level of flexibility in bones and muscles. Forcing it will definitely result in broken bones and torn tendons. This is a military martial art, with each move being ruthless, so it’s not part of the curriculum."

"Teacher, don’t mind them. I will study it with dedication." Zhang Yue raised his head.

The classmates indeed had no right to be concerned.

"Watch!" Lazy Dragon teacher suddenly extended his hand, his five fingers grabbing at the air. His arm stretched out, shocking all the students present.

This was not a human arm; it was thick and strong, with blue veins winding around it like green pythons, and muscles like steel attached to the arm. The entire arm was not made of flesh and blood but of steel and machinery!

"Channeling energy into the arm, using the spine as the axis, and the muscles as scales, the power runs through the skin! First move! Green Dragon Emerges from the Water!" He continuously trembled, his claws moving like the wind, his steps floating, riding the clouds and wind.

"Second move, Black Dragon Turns Back!"

"Third move, White Dragon Spits a Pearl!"

"Fourth move, Fire Dragon Scorches the Earth!"

"Fifth move, Cloud Dragon Probes with Its Claw!"

He continuously demonstrated, moving as fast as lightning, his hands constantly seizing, each move ruthless. Some students felt a chill, knowing that encountering such a martial art would likely result in being torn apart into pieces.

"Indeed, it has very high requirements for bones, tendons, and muscles." Jiang Li secretly observed. He had secretly studied boneless soft techniques, giving him a deeper understanding of martial arts. He could see that the Dragon Claw Great Seizure was a brutal combat technique, with fierce attacks, even more ruthless than boneless soft techniques.

However, boneless soft techniques are a "soft technique," emphasizing coordination, with less offensive power compared to the "Dragon Claw Great Seizure," but it is a foundation. Once learned, any C-level physical technique can be mastered easily.

Under Lazy Dragon teacher’s explanation, Jiang Li secretly learned many of the techniques of the Dragon Claw Great Seizure. With the foundation of boneless soft techniques, he quickly grasped the skills and attacks.

But he kept it to himself, not showing it.

The hour-long class quickly passed.

Lazy Dragon personally guided Zhang Yue, and in a few hours, Zhang Yue gradually learned this fierce C-level physical technique, though his movements were not yet smooth and could not be used in actual combat.

"Zhang Yue, your comprehension and physique are both good. However, the Dragon Claw Great Seizure has very strong practical combat capabilities. I suggest you study boneless soft techniques on your own. Boneless soft techniques are the foundation of all C-level physical techniques, strengthening bones and tendons. Once learned, all C-level physical techniques can be mastered without a teacher. Also, your bones and muscles need to be strengthened. Eat more super supplements, and if possible, get the military’s special ‘Star Body Strengthening Pills,’ which will greatly benefit your cultivation."

"Star Body Strengthening Pills, 2,000 star coins each..." Zhang Yue trembled at the name of the pill but then smiled: "I will definitely practice the C-level physical technique to perfection."

"Good! Today’s lesson is over. Everyone can practice freely." Lazy Dragon casually said: "Now, let’s start one-on-one practice to see how you’ve learned."

The Dragon Claw Great Seizure can be performed by two people, one seizing and one countering, with each move forming a continuous routine.

"Jiang Li, how are you doing?" His best friend Guo Meng and Jiang Li were a pair, advancing and retreating, practicing the Dragon Claw Great Seizure. Guo Meng had only learned a few moves with no real power, while Jiang Li seemed to be more at ease.

Of course, with over 4,000 people practicing, no one could tell that Jiang Li had already mastered the essence.

"Jiang Li."

At this moment, Zhang Yue strode over.

"Class President, what’s up?" Jiang Li’s expression was relaxed, not retreating. A month ago, he could feel the explosive power inside Zhang Yue and was terrified. But now, with his own physical strength improved, the pressure from Zhang Yue was much less.

"I heard that after I warned you, you still went to the park to meet Luo Han? You’re quite bold." Zhang Yue narrowed his eyes: "You dare not listen to me?"

"Who are you?" Jiang Li countered: "Why should I listen to you? It’s ridiculous."

"You!" Zhang Yue was almost choked by this sentence. In an instant, his eyes flashed with cold light: "You’ve grown up? Since that’s the case, let’s practice one-on-one. As the class president, I’ll teach you some combat skills to improve your performance."

"Class President, let’s talk it out." Guo Meng, seeing the situation, came forward with a smile, trying to ease the tension.

"Get out of the way!"

Zhang Yue kicked out with a D-level physical technique, "Heart-Kicking Foot."

It was as fast as a storm, kicking Guo Meng in the stomach.

Guo Meng screamed, flying 2 meters away, and fell to the ground, clutching his stomach in pain.

"Sorry." Zhang Yue kicked Guo Meng away without any remorse, instead patting the dust off his legs as if he had dirtied his pants: "Guo Meng, I was teaching you combat skills. Why didn’t you pay attention?"

"Guo Meng, are you okay?"

Jiang Li ran over, helping Guo Meng up, his heart filled with anger.

"I’m fine." Guo Meng’s head was drenched in sweat from the pain.

"Jiang Li, come over. I haven’t taught you combat skills yet." Zhang Yue walked over, and suddenly kicked out again.

This kick was even faster, breaking the air with a sharp sound.

D-level physical technique, Blade Leg!

Ah!

Some classmates closed their eyes, and some girls even screamed.

This kick was fierce; if hit, it would cause serious injury. But no one dared to stop Zhang Yue, who had long established his authority in the class.

Slap!

An arm drew an elliptical arc in the air, a hand knife cutting sharply, intercepting in mid-air, and colliding with Zhang Yue’s leg.

The sound of muscle collision was loud.

Zhang Yue leaped back, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Jiang Li slowly stood up: "Zhang Yue, do you really think you can bully people in class?"

"You actually intercepted my Blade Leg?" Zhang Yue felt that Jiang Li had changed, but he didn’t take it seriously: "I understand. You’ve improved in the past month, so you’re being arrogant in front of me?"

"I have indeed improved." Jiang Li stared at Zhang Yue: "You want to teach me combat skills? Then come on!"

"Since that’s the case, I’ll beat you down." Zhang Yue felt his authority challenged and couldn’t tolerate it.

Whoosh!

His body darted forward, a punch coming, the fist like a military bayonet, piercing toward the enemy’s heart.

D-level martial art, Military Body Piercing Punch.

Each punch aimed at the enemy’s vital points, his steps running with stomping, shaking even a wooden dummy to pieces. With a vitality of 0.9, Zhang Yue would have been a martial arts expert in the national era 200 years ago.

Jiang Li’s eyes focused, his spirit concentrated, and the opponent’s movements seemed to slow down. He raised his arm, suddenly extending it, his claws sharp, like a dragon turning back.

It was the newly learned "Dragon Claw Great Seizure," Black Dragon Turns Back.

The long claw marks seized, with bone-breaking force, colliding with Zhang Yue’s punch.

Bang! Bang! Bang! ...

Continuous muscle collisions, the two exchanged over ten punches in a few seconds.

Stopping, Jiang Li’s arm was covered in bruises from the punches, Zhang Yue’s punches penetrating and severely injuring his arm muscles.

But Zhang Yue himself was not unscathed, retreating with blood marks on his arm, deep into the skin, bleeding profusely.

These were the marks left by Jiang Li’s seizing hand.

The Dragon Claw Great Seizure specializes in breaking tendons, cutting veins, and even using nails to penetrate the skin, severing the enemy’s arm arteries, causing them to bleed to death.

Both sides fought to a draw, both injured.

"I still lack combat experience! Although my physical strength is aided by fetal breathing, it lacks nutrition, which is like water without roots. Without nutritional supplements, the cells cannot become strong, and physical strength cannot improve." Jiang Li thought he could defeat Zhang Yue, but in the actual fight, he felt his lack of combat experience. He missed several opportunities and would have been at a disadvantage if not for the sensitivity brought by long-term fetal breathing.

This fight made him realize that although the realm of fetal breathing is wonderful, it also requires sufficient nutrition to strengthen the cells.

Relying on the fetal breathing from the milky white stone without nutritional support, he had only achieved one-tenth of its potential, far from the true masters who can enter fetal breathing. His fetal breathing was not true fetal breathing.

It’s like someone entering deep sleep through hypnosis, not true mental cultivation.

"I need to work harder and earn money to supplement my nutrition!" Jiang Li thought: "The milky white stone only provides assistance; true success still depends on myself."

Although Jiang Li didn’t win, the surrounding classmates were shocked.

"Jiang Li can actually match Zhang Yue?"

"Zhang Yue has a vitality of 0.9, a great expert, and Jiang Li can match him? In our class, there are only a few dozen students with a vitality of 0.8, and they are no match for Zhang Yue. Even four or five together can be defeated instantly. Has Jiang Li’s vitality reached 0.9?"

"Amazing, we’re going to have another standout in our class."

"I wonder if they will continue fighting?" ...

The 4,000-plus classmates stopped training, watching the top expert Zhang Yue and the dark horse Jiang Li face off.

"Enough." At this moment, Lazy Dragon teacher spoke, walking over, his eyes shining: "Your combat is over. You’re Jiang Li, right? You’re quite hidden. You used the Dragon Claw Great Seizure so well just now. Have you studied boneless soft techniques?"

"Yes!" Jiang Li bowed: "I have studied the first three moves of boneless soft techniques: Bone Twisting Spiral Kill, Bone Separating String Stab, and Bone Splitting Cloud Collapse."

"Good, good, worth focusing on." Lazy Dragon teacher didn’t care about the fighting. As a former military instructor, he had seen more fights in the military. A student worth cultivating is a good thing. Besides, this is a combat training course; how can there be no injuries? "Have you reached deep sleep in mental training?"

"Yes." Jiang Li admitted: "And I can enter deep sleep at any time, the second stage."

This admission immediately caused a stir.

"Wow! Amazing! A real genius."

"Can enter deep sleep at any time? Zhang Yue needs a long time to guide himself..."

"His mental realm is higher than Zhang Yue’s."

"No wonder he caught up so quickly." ...

"I don’t believe it!" Zhang Yue knew Lazy Dragon teacher was starting to favor Jiang Li, but he couldn’t accept that Jiang Li could enter deep sleep at any time.
