Chapter 157 - 157 129 Whetstone Mountain Crashing Palm Seeking Monthly Votes

157: Chapter 129: Whetstone, Mountain Crashing Palm (Seeking Monthly Votes) 157: Chapter 129: Whetstone, Mountain Crashing Palm (Seeking Monthly Votes) Yu Xinghan looked at Zhang Yu beside him, waved his hand and said, “Shall we start as well?”

“But before accompanying me in combat training, I have a request to make.”

“The first request is that during our combat training, we do not use mana, and instead rely purely on physical strength to drive our martial arts in battle.”

It was because he saw Zhang Yu’s control power over his body in the sports competition that Yu Xinghan asked him to be his sparring partner.

Learning and absorbing the various techniques of control over the body from him could be said to be his main objective for having a sparring partner.

It was for this reason that he proposed to fight using pure physical strength without mana.

Yu Xinghan continued, “The second request is that in our combat training, whoever injures the other will pay for the other’s medical expenses.”

Zhang Yu looked at him with a skeptical look and said, “You aren’t planning to scam me, are you?”

It’s no wonder Zhang Yu thought this way; Yu Xinghan always gave him the impression of…

a stingy rich person.

Yu Xinghan continued, “Don’t think I’m trying to scam you for money; this is about training to overcome opponents without causing injury.”

“You must know that in Kunxu, a true expert can control every bit of their strength, able to defeat an opponent without needing to pay a dime; this should be the true purpose of combat training.”

“I’ve watched your martial arts competition videos; you all fight with blood flying and flesh torn, too rough, too uneconomical.”

Yu Xinghan shook his head, “This is why there is a lack of training in control power.”

Zhang Yu found this reasoning quite sound and couldn’t help but ask, “Was this also taught to you by Senior Xinghuo?”

Seeing Yu Xinghan nod, Zhang Yu thought to himself, “Did Old Deng Xinghuo lose a lot of money fighting in the past?

That’s why he emphasizes this point so much when training disciples?

Even turning them into stingy people.”

…

Meanwhile, Chu Qiuhe had somehow arrived outside the practice room, observing the situation inside through the open door.

Upon witnessing the intense fight between Song Halong and Bai Zhenzhen, he sighed to himself, “Bai Zhenzhen, this woman, not only has her physical strength advanced by leaps and bounds, but her combat ability has also skyrocketed.”

“If I went up against her, I’d probably last no more than ten moves.”

“In just two months, her progress speed is terrifying.”

“But it’s rumored that Bai Zhenzhen and Zhang Yu have both been invested in by the senior, Zhang Pianpian, of Grade 12, turning into the senior sister’s followers and undergoing muscle transformation simulating demons…”

Thinking of this, Chu Qiuhe felt a tinge of longing.

“Darn, I also want to be Senior Sister Zhang’s follower and be pushed to improve!”

But Chu Qiuhe could only think about it, knowing full well that if he dared express this wish, it would quickly spread to Grade 12, and he’d be dragged into a corner by the senior students for a brutal lesson.

After all, in the face of Zhang Pianpian, who tops the academic charts and owns billions, at least 80% of White Dragon High School’s students want to be her followers.

The good opportunity that even the seniors can’t grab, how can a mere Grade 10 student like Chu Qiuhe even think of it?

“The opportunity that I can’t even line up for was snatched away by these two guys?”

At this moment, Chu Qiuhe looked at Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen with a hint of jealousy in his eyes.

Just then, the battle between Zhang Yu and Yu Xinghan officially began, again drawing Chu Qiuhe’s attention.

…

Both Yu Xinghan and Zhang Yu moved toward each other, step by step closing the distance.

In the next instant, with a loud bang, their arms collided fiercely.

And this crash seemed to be a signal.

Accompanied by punches, palm strikes, arms, elbows…

amongst other areas colliding, a succession of loud crashes echoed like thunderclaps exploding in the practice room.

In the blink of an eye, their arms were a blur of afterimages, fiercely battling each other.

…

Outside the practice room.

Chu Qiuhe was watching the battle between Zhang Yu and Yu Xinghan with rapt attention.

Suddenly, he sensed the presence of two figures beside him, surprisingly the number 35 Bear-man and number 36 Wolfman.

Seeing Chu Qiuhe’s gaze, the two boldly spoke, “We also want to watch Brother Xinghan and Brother Zhang Yu’s duel.”

Chu Qiuhe let out a snort; having just disciplined the two, he didn’t stop their eagerness to learn this time.

Meanwhile, in the field, Yu Xinghan’s attacks became more ferocious; his figure began to rapidly move around Zhang Yu, barrage-like, attacking Zhang Yu from all directions.

Conversely, Zhang Yu stood firmly in place, like a small boat in a sea storm, seeming on the verge of capsizing under the onslaught.

The Bear-man exclaimed, “Brother Xinghan is so powerful!

Only relying on physical strength, the burst of speed and force completely outclasses us; Brother Zhang Yu might not hold on!”

“Unperceptive fool.” Chu Qiuhe snorted coldly, “Zhang Yu’s victory in the physical competition was due to his understanding of power and mastery of yun jin techniques; his skill in borrowing force and maneuvering power is at an exceptional level even in Grade 10.”

In Chu Qiuhe’s eyes, Zhang Yu was not just a small boat; he was a fortress reinforced with steel and concrete, steady amid the barrage.

At this moment, Yu Xinghan’s voice rang out in excitement while moving rapidly, “Not bad, not bad, it’s been a long time since I enjoyed a fight this much; you’re much tougher than Xiao Song.”

“Given that, I’m going to go all out next.”

Yu Xinghan looked at Zhang Yu in front of him, like viewing an exceptionally excellent target.

In his heart, he mused, “Normally, when facing students of the same year, I’m afraid of racking up too many medical fees and don’t dare to fight at full strength.

But with Zhang Yu’s skills, even against my full power, he’d be unlikely to land in the medical room easily, right?”

With this in mind, Yu Xinghan smiled slightly, “But rest assured, just like I said earlier, if I injure you, I’ll cover your medical expenses…”

The same Heavenly Martial Refining Heart Technique spun in both their gazes, and as their eyes locked, it was as if their respective fighting spirits clashed in mid-air.

Upon mentioning covering medical expenses, Yu Xinghan’s aura changed dramatically.

The next moment, the third eye in Yu Xinghan’s mind fully opened, granting him a 360° sensory perception.

Then, the tendrils extending from his third eye suddenly tightened, instantly enhancing Yu Xinghan’s muscle recruitment ability, much like gaining an additional set of nerves.

Boom!

Yu Xinghan’s palms carried the sound of dragon roars and elephant trumpets, fiercely striking toward Zhang Yu.

Before the strike even landed, the air was crushed and displaced, creating a suffocating sensation.

It was the Dragon Elephant Mountain Crashing Palm pushed to level 8 by Yu Xinghan at this moment!

This palm technique, driven purely by physical strength, was invented by a senior from a civil engineering background, who observed elephant demons and flood dragons manipulate mountains and fill seas while working in the wilderness.

The distinct feature of this technique is its mimicry of dragon and elephant strength, with palming power being intensely fierce, like a flash flood or tsunami.

The essence lies in power exertion, focusing on overpowering opponents, overwhelming them with an unstoppable force, blasting through all defenses.

With Yu Xinghan’s whole-body power highly recruited, the force of this palm strike far exceeded the Grade 10 standard.

Zhang Yu’s expression remained calm as he extended his hand to deflect the opponent’s palming power.

Boom!

In the midst of an immensely dull crash, their palms collided fiercely.

And with Yu Xinghan’s third eye pairing with the Heavenly Martial Refining Heart Technique’s full focus state, Zhang Yu’s every move in borrowing and deflecting power, every slight muscle ripple, was distinctly clear and deeply profound.

Through this observation, Yu Xinghan aimed to quickly learn and imitate Zhang Yu’s actions, mastering Zhang Yu’s control and propulsion of physical strength.

Yu Xinghan watched as his palming power was transmitted downwards through Zhang Yu’s muscle fibers, like reinforced steel…

Seeing Zhang Yu retreat three steps, pounding the ground with a series of thuds, redirecting the palming power to the floor…

Yu Xinghan’s eyes shone brightly, as if he were witnessing a priceless work of art.

“This power control is truly…

beautiful.”

“I must learn this from you!”

Thus, he flashed forward, closely pursuing, with a palm strike resounding with dragon roars and elephant trumpets, once more crashing toward Zhang Yu.

“Show me again!”

At the same time, in full focus mode, Zhang Yu observed every slowed-down motion of Yu Xinghan, perceiving each of his maneuvers and taking on his onslaught as best he could.

After fighting intensely for a while, Yu Xinghan felt his full concentration reaching its limit, both of their physical strengths not at their peak, and their moves no longer flawless.

So Yu Xinghan stopped and said, “Let’s rest a bit before we continue.”

“Training without being at our peak won’t yield the best results.”

Yu Xinghan sat to the side, recalling the battle process just now, remembering the various techniques Zhang Yu exhibited, striving to assimilate them to fuel his growth.

He thought to himself, “This Zhang Yu…

turns out to be my best grinding stone.”

“When I learn all the techniques from him using various attack methods and combine it with the growth rate of my physical strength, no one at the high school level might surpass me in physical strength in the future.”

Not far from Yu Xinghan, Zhang Yu also sat down, looking at the martial arts book that appeared before him.

Dragon Elephant Mountain Crashing Palm Level 0 (0/1, 4.96/5.0 physical strength, 4/5 level Dao Heart)

Zhang Yu mused, “Is this the palm technique Yu Xinghan used just now?”

He casually checked online, then furrowed his brow, “The usage right for this palm technique is 200,000?”

“Damn it…

if I really learn this technique, won’t I end up paying out 200,000 for his training before earning much from it?”

But recalling Yu Xinghan’s stunning and fierce palm strikes earlier, Zhang Yu felt tempted again.

Especially since he realized that this martial art, driven purely by physical strength, represents strong expandability, applicable in numerous areas, making it a high-quality foundational technique…

“Should I secretly learn it first and not buy the usage rights?

I could just keep it hidden and unused regularly.”

Zhang Yu was indecisive for a moment, but considering that he hadn’t reached the cultivation requirements for this technique, he set the matter aside for now.

At this moment, Yu Xinghan, while turning on his phone, asked, “Did you help me click on that link I sent you last time?”
