Chapter 543: Chapter 507 Deduction

"This person..."

"Such a powerful Eagle Form!"

"Where did this Xingyi expert come from?"

"Wow, this person’s martial arts..."

...

They say a true craftsman is known from the first strike.

All the boxers present were experts with exceptional judgment. Zhang Daolong had used only one move, but everyone could see that he was definitely a Xingyi Fist expert. They did not know exactly how proficient he was, but since he dared to publicly challenge Wu Li, his Xingyi mastery must be no less than Wu Li’s!

"This move of yours captures the essence of an eagle swooping down on its prey, focusing on the swoop, not the teardown."

Zhang Daolong spoke word by word, his voice filling the room.

"The move he just demonstrated to you uses the principle of Yoga’s big handprint to manipulate finger energy flow, starting from the back—that’s wrong!"

Zhang Daolong stated this in no uncertain terms.

Zhang Yang, somewhat stunned, asked subconsciously, "Then what is the correct way?"

Zhang Daolong demonstrated the move again, this time deliberately slowing down for Zhang Yang to observe: "The discharge of power should start from both feet, thrusting from the ground, coordinated with the back, much like an eagle taking flight!"

"Then the arms surge up with Drilling Fist Force and change into Splitting Fist Power to grasp downwards, causing the energy flow to surge naturally downward, further enhanced by the principle of Yoga’s big handprint as the fingers seal swiftly, accelerating the energy flow. This way of discharging energy and maneuvering energy flow doubles the effect. If you use the method he just taught, it would halve the effectiveness."

Zhang Yang stared intently at Zhang Daolong’s moves. Being a Master Level martial artist who had specialized in this technique for years, Zhang Daolong demonstrated it once, and Zhang Yang was immediately enlightened, instinctively using Zhang Daolong’s method to discharge power, slightly lifting his feet before striking.

Swoosh!

After one move, Zhang Yang repeated it several times, his eyes gradually brightening.

"Feet discharging power, taking off, swooping down..."

He muttered to himself and finally stopped, turning to look at Wu Li, "Master Wu, this really seems..."

He halted mid-sentence, suddenly realizing what he was about to say and immediately held his tongue.

His onstage presence today, asking Wu Li for guidance, was at the request of their chairman to bolster Wu Li’s reputation. It was supposed to be a win-win situation, but now with Zhang Daolong unexpectedly intervening, if he acknowledged Zhang Daolong’s perspective, wouldn’t that be a slap in Wu Li’s face?

But for Zhang Yang to claim in front of everyone that Zhang Daolong’s method was inferior to Wu Li’s felt too fake, and if it later turned out that Zhang Daolong’s method was superior, then he would owe Zhang Daolong a great debt, and he definitely could not belittle him now.

"Master Wu, this modification seems to work too."

Zhang Yang awkwardly said to Wu Li, then turned to Zhang Daolong and bowed with clasped hands, "Thank you for your guidance; both your and Master Wu’s methods are enlightening to me. However, I need more time to ponder which method is more appropriate."

Hearing this, Zhang Daolong scoffed, "You know which one is more appropriate."

Zhang Yang looked embarrassed as acting was really not his forte; deep down, he also felt Zhang Daolong’s method was better.

The audience, interpreting Zhang Yang’s demeanor, roughly guessed the answer, all looking curiously at Wu Li onstage.

"Oh my, what does this mean, this instructor’s method is better?"

"I don’t know, I can’t tell, never practiced martial arts, can’t differentiate."

"They said both methods are good, and he also can’t decide which is better right now."

"But his manner just now clearly showed he thought the second method was better, he just didn’t say it aloud out of respect for Wu Li."

"This instructor is pretty impressive."

...

Netizens also noticed the change in Zhang Yang’s expressions and guessed what he was thinking.

Offstage, Xing Jun frowned, somewhat worried for Wu Li.

Although he disliked Zhang Daolong, he had to admit that the other’s mastery of Xingyi was indeed high, and since one of his best forms was the Eagle Form, Xing Jun also felt perhaps Zhang Daolong was correct; however, this made the situation awkward for Wu Li.

"Nicely done!"

Qian Kun inwardly praised Zhang Daolong. By showing up this way, publicly putting Wu Li down and boosting his own profile was simply perfect!

Onstage, Wu Li watched Zhang Daolong with a smile the whole time until Zhang Daolong finished speaking, then he slowly said, "Instructor Zhang seems very confident, thinking that you must be right?"

Zhang Daolong looked at him: "I do know a bit about Xingyi Fist."

"Ha ha."

Wu Li laughed, "What a coincidence, I also know a bit."

Then he looked at Zhang Yang and performed the same movements he had just done, but this time Wu Li did not stop after one technique but continued with more, this time incorporating footwork:

Swooping down grasp, left-right tear, and then suddenly transitioning into Tiger Form, pouncing forward!

Zhang Yang stood in place, stunned, not understanding Wu Li’s intentions, while Zhang Daolong offstage frowned slightly, seemingly realizing something, looking incredulously at Wu Li.

Wu Li stopped his movements, smiling at Zhang Daolong, "Instructor Zhang just said that the focus of this move is not on tearing but on pouncing, but that’s knowing only one side, not the other."

"If we look at this move on its own, focusing on the pounce does indeed make it smoother and easier to control the flow of energy; however, when adding subsequent movements, it’s different."

Wu Li turned to Zhang Yang and said, "Master Zhang, why don’t you combine the footwork with this move, transitioning from Eagle Form to Tiger Form after the execution, just like I just did?"

"Footwork?" Zhang Yang’s eyes widened.

Wu Li nodded, "Yes, when you used this move against me earlier, there was also footwork involved. Observing your footwork, I guessed your move had a subsequent change, which is the transformation of Eagle Form into Tiger Form, moving forward. Therefore, the feet shouldn’t discharge power first when starting, otherwise it will lead to a lack of power for the subsequent Tiger Form change."

Upon hearing Wu Li’s explanation, Zhang Yang had an epiphany, immediately incorporating the footwork and executing the technique again.

This time, following Wu Li’s movements, he transitioned Tiger Form after finishing the Eagle Form. Although he couldn’t replicate it exactly, he understood the concept behind it.

"So that’s it! So that’s it!"

Zhang Yang laughed loudly, "All these years, I’ve been fixated on changes in the hands, neglecting the coordination with the footwork. It turns out there is another layer to this move, amazing!"

Enlightened by Wu Li’s guidance, he felt immensely pleased.

Wu Li smiled at Zhang Daolong, "Instructor Zhang, does that make sense?"

Zhang Daolong: "..."

He thought Zhang Yang was at the first level, Wu Li at most at the second level, while he himself was at the third level, only to find out Wu Li was actually in the stratosphere...
