At the Yangwei Martial Arts Hall, the small training ground was packed with disciples, leaving a large open space in the middle.
"Master Xiong, please!" Lin Sha stood calmly in the center of the small training ground, looking at the robust and powerful hall master, Master Xiong, and bowed with a solemn voice.
"Sir, are you really going to compete?"
Master Xiong was somewhat hesitant, his expression uncertain.
Lin Sha smiled slightly, took a step forward with his right foot, and a dull thud echoed. When he retracted his foot, a shallow footprint appeared on the hard ground, causing a gasp from the surrounding crowd.
"Sir, impressive skills!"
Master Xiong's pupils dilated slightly, and he no longer dared to underestimate the young man in military uniform. The hesitation in his eyes also disappeared.
"Master Xiong, please!"
"Sir Lin, please!"
The two bowed to each other, and Lin Sha knew that Master Xiong would not attack first. Without being polite, he lunged forward, roared, and his blood flowed faster. His right fist, carrying a fierce air burst, slammed out with a resounding boom, using the Tiger Form of the Hong Gate Five Animal Fist, known for its ferocity and power!
"Sir Lin, be careful, Mountain Pushing Palm!"
Faced with Lin Sha's fierce punch, Master Xiong did not dare to be careless. He flicked his wrist, and a large, rough hand with particularly thick knuckles flipped out, pushing forward with a fierce air burst.
Bang!
The collision of fist and palm produced a dull boom. Both bodies shook, but Lin Sha stood firm, while Master Xiong's face turned red as he retreated three steps with a thud.
"Sir, impressive skills!"
Master Xiong's eyes widened like copper bells, his face burning with shock and embarrassment. Suppressing the surging blood in his chest, he roared and his rough hands moved like fluttering leaves, continuously striking Lin Sha.
Hey!
Lin Sha's mind was calm, and his fists pounded out like cannons, not only easily blocking Master Xiong's strikes but also launching fierce counterattacks, forcing Master Xiong into a defensive and awkward position.
"How is this possible? Master is actually at a disadvantage?"
"Who would have thought Sir Lin is so powerful, truly one cannot judge a person by their appearance!"
"Master must be holding back out of respect for his status, it must be that!"
"..."
The situation of the match caused a stir among the martial arts hall disciples. They never expected that their powerful master would be at a disadvantage in a direct confrontation.
Various thoughts flooded their minds. Some lost confidence in the Yangwei Martial Arts Hall, some marveled at Lin Sha's strength, and others desperately sought excuses for their master.
Is this the level?
Lin Sha couldn't help but feel disappointed. He thought it would be a fierce battle, but he had a significant advantage and could win the match in no time.
From his estimation, Master Xiong's hand techniques were quite loose, at best at the initial stage of Mingjing (manifested strength). In the world of Wong Fei-hung, he would be a core disciple of a well-known martial arts hall in Foshan. In the world of "Deer and the Cauldron," he could become the master of a hall!
If it weren't for the existence of internal martial arts, he would have defined the world of "Deer and the Cauldron" as a space inferior to the world of Wong Fei-hung, which was truly disappointing.
Iron Sand Palm is an extremely powerful hard qigong. If practiced well, it can be very formidable. Unfortunately, Master Xiong clearly hadn't mastered it or received the true lineage!
He remembered encountering an Iron Sand Palm expert in modern black market boxing.
At that time, he was already a peak Mingjing (manifested strength) practitioner. In a black market boxing match, he encountered an Iron Sand Palm expert at the mid-stage of Mingjing. That battle was extremely tough, and he still remembered it vividly.
The Iron Sand Palm expert's large hands struck continuously, each palm capable of breaking bricks and stones, supported by hard qigong, with incredible endurance. Lin Sha's fists swelled like steamed buns after just a dozen strikes. If it weren't for his excellent leg techniques, he might have lost.
However, Master Xiong, though strong, was far from the level of that Iron Sand Palm expert. It was as if he had practiced external qigong like Iron Shirt, making him extremely difficult to deal with.
But then he thought about the purpose of his visit and felt relieved. He came to gain fame, so he naturally hoped his opponent would be as weak as possible. Encountering a tough opponent would be a headache, and he was being a bit picky.
But why did he feel so unwilling?
"Master Xiong, be careful!"
Though many thoughts raced through his mind, it was only a moment. Sensing Master Xiong's weakening strength, he knew his opponent was running out of stamina and wouldn't last much longer. Without hesitation, he roared and attacked.
Under the astonished gaze of the martial arts hall disciples, Lin Sha's body bent, his aura fierce, like a fierce tiger pouncing. His hands, either fists or claws, brought a series of air bursts, and the surrounding air whistled with a terrifying momentum.
Boom!
Lin Sha stepped in the Qilin Step, like a tiger descending from the mountain, and in an instant, he was in front of the shocked Master Xiong. Bending his waist, he struck with both fists, one above and one below, delivering a powerful Tiger Taming Fist. A dull thud echoed as he slammed Master Xiong, sending him flying.
The martial arts hall disciples were in an uproar. Master Xiong had lost so quickly?
"Master Xiong, I thank you for your concession!"
Lin Sha stopped his attack, bowed to Master Xiong, who was lying three meters away, with a serious expression.
"Cough, cough, Sir Lin, indeed, you have impressive skills, I am in awe!"
Master Xiong, coughing, slowly got up with the help of his disciples. His face was pale, and his breathing was disordered. He bowed slightly, looking at Lin Sha with a mix of admiration and reluctance: "However..."
"However what?"
Lin Sha raised an eyebrow, his expression half-smiling, half-serious. Though he had come to challenge the hall early in the morning, which was somewhat impolite, he had to do it to gain fame quickly. He couldn't help but feel a bit disdainful when Master Xiong, who had lost without a doubt, still felt reluctant. He labeled Master Xiong as "unable to accept defeat."
"I admit that I am inferior to you in hand-to-hand combat, but I have a decent saber technique and would like to learn from Sir Lin!"
Master Xiong didn't care about Lin Sha's thoughts. Losing so badly in front of so many disciples, he naturally felt reluctant and wanted a chance to turn the tables.
Anyone who encountered such a bad start would be resentful and unhappy. He was already being polite by treating Lin Sha with respect.
"Oh, saber technique?"
Lin Sha's eyebrows raised slightly, his face calm, but his heart was in turmoil. His eyes flashed with seriousness as he asked, "How would you like to compete, Master Xiong?"
In his heart, he repeatedly cursed himself: "Mistake, a real mistake. Damn, he made such a big error. Fortunately, Master Xiong reminded him in time, or he might not have reacted in time if something happened in the future..."
