From the moment the Tiger Soul awakened, I became invincible.

Chapter 3 Tiger Pounces, Three Shocks, Tendons and Bones Dislocated

The martial arts training ground.

Liu Xinnian stood in front of Qin Wu, looking him up and down.

"How long have you been practicing martial arts?"

"One month."

Qin Wu replied that this was also the time he had traveled to.

Luo Hao wanted to laugh, but he forced himself to hold it in in order to show his manners in front of his junior sister.

Even so, the disdain in his eyes was very obvious.

Liu Xinnian looked somewhat surprised.

She wasn't surprised by the timing, because in her opinion, Qin Wu didn't show many signs of martial arts training.

But if that's the case, it means that Qin Wu mastered those two boxing techniques in just one month.

This is more than just a genius; it's downright monstrous.

However, she didn't delve into it further, and even showed a hint of pity on her face.

"It's a pity. At your age, your physical attributes are already set, and you're unlikely to achieve much in the future."

Then she changed the subject and said:

"Since you haven't been learning martial arts for long, let me first explain to you what martial arts are and how to practice them."

You already know that martial arts are divided into three stages: internal and external. The three external stages are: first, when the defensive qi is initially formed and the skin is as hard as a bronze cauldron, then the skin refinement is complete; second, when the bone marrow produces essence and the joints are as strong as steel, then the bone refinement is complete; and finally, when the tendons transform into a dragon, with power like thunder, then the tendon refinement is complete.

That strong?

Qin Wu was somewhat shocked.

This was different from what he knew. There were also skin-refining martial artists among the Qin family's guards, but none of them could reach the point where their skin was as smooth as a bronze cauldron.

Unexpectedly, Liu Xinnian changed her tune and said:

"Of course, this is the realm of mastering the three outer gates. Very few people can achieve this. If you want to learn the Tiger Subduing Fist, you only need to master the three outer gates to a lesser degree."

Even so, ordinary methods are far from sufficient to achieve even a minor level of mastery over the three external barriers; therefore, some external aids are needed, such as medicinal baths.

Qin Wu listened attentively, especially to the medicinal bath, which gave him a jolt, and this was one of his purposes.

Although the Qin family has martial arts practitioners protecting them, they do not have the formula for martial arts medicine, and they cannot buy it in pharmacies either.

The true formulas for precious medicines are all kept by martial arts schools or powerful gangs.

The Dragon Tiger Gang is like this, and so is the Liu Family Martial Arts School.

However, when he first transmigrated, he was in a state of mental instability and focused on consolidating his foundation, so he didn't consider these things.

Liu Xinnian was very satisfied with his expression.

Qin Wu, standing before her, remained calm and composed ever since entering the martial arts school, as if nothing was worth his attention.

For her, being able to make Qin Wu's expression change was a small achievement.

"The precious medicine of my Liu Family Martial Arts School costs five taels of silver per dose. A disciple usually consumes one dose every three days. However, the first medicinal bath is the most effective, so let's have the first medicinal bath at the martial arts school. I'll go and prepare the things you need for the medicinal bath first."

Five taels of silver is not cheap; it's enough for an ordinary person's expenses for two months.

No wonder they say that scholars are poor while warriors are rich.

Fortunately, Qin Wu didn't care much about money.

The Qin family may lack other things, but they certainly don't lack money. At least, they can provide him with the precious medicines without any problems.

Moreover, his adoptive father still feels somewhat guilty towards him.

This paltry sum of money is naturally nothing.

Seeing Liu Xinnian leave, Luo Hao finally stopped hiding his true feelings and looked at Qin Wu with malice in his eyes.

"Kid, since you want to learn the Tiger-Taming Fist, how about I find someone to demonstrate it for you?"

As the senior disciple, he naturally couldn't do it himself; that would be beneath him.

But it's different if you find someone to teach them a lesson.

Qin Wu squinted at him, then nodded.

He also wanted to see what the Tiger-Taming Fist was all about.

"Hou Xin, come here!"

Luo Hao drank.

Upon hearing this, a disciple who was as thin as a monkey stepped forward.

"Senior brother, I..."

Hou Xin knew, of course, that Luo Hao wanted him to teach Qin Wu a lesson, but this would not benefit him at all and would only put him at a disadvantage.

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Luo Hao glared at Hou Xin, making him shrink back and dare not say another word.

The moment Hou Xin stood opposite Qin Wu, his aura changed, and his eyes became fierce. After all, he was a core disciple of the martial arts school.

A martial artist's strength lies in their ferocity.

Now that he has made his decision, he will not hesitate any longer.

As for Qin Wu...

"Fists and kicks have no eyes. You can still admit defeat now, otherwise, if something happens, you'll just be out of luck!"

Faced with Hou Xin's threat, Qin Wu adopted a Tai Chi stance and waved at him.

"bring it on."

Upon seeing this, Hou Xin's expression turned cold, and he immediately lunged forward.

Hou Xin's punches were powerful and swift; though he was as thin as a monkey, his punches were no less impressive.

He was like a tiger descending a mountain, his momentum was overwhelming.

Seeing Hou Xin throw a punch, Qin Wu launched the Tai Chi Cloud Hands.

He knew very well that even though he had fused with the tiger's soul, his power was still inferior to Hou Xin's.

The principle of using minimal force to overcome great strength, as exemplified by Tai Chi, is perfectly suited to the current situation.

The two exchanged blows, Qin Wu deflecting the attacks while simultaneously using his Tiger Soul to comprehend the changes in the Subduing Tiger Fist, filled with admiration.

As expected of the secret weapon of the Inner Three Gates Boxing Master, it is truly domineering.

Unfortunately, the other party was clearly a beginner and not very skilled.

With the blessing of the Tiger Soul, Qin Wu's comprehension speed of the Tiger Subduing Fist increased more than a hundredfold.

The Tiger-Taming Fist is a style of martial arts where people borrow the power of a tiger and learn how to move like a tiger.

However, Qin Wu used the spirit of the tiger to train the tiger's power, which was tantamount to taking a commanding position from a high vantage point, making his momentum unstoppable.

As time went on, Hou Xin's attacks became increasingly urgent, but Qin Wu found it easier and easier to deal with them.

Hou Xin never expected that he would be unable to defeat this ordinary person who had only been practicing martial arts for a little over a month.

Most importantly, only by actually fighting can one truly feel how powerful Qin Wu's fist is.

"Damn it!"

Hou Xin was extremely anxious; he couldn't afford to lose!

If we lose today, not only will we not be able to explain it to our senior brother Luo Hao, but how can he maintain his standing in the martial arts school if he loses to a newcomer in front of so many people!

"Tiger pounces, three shocks!"

Hou Xin roared and pounced on Qin Wu with the ferocity of a tiger.

This tiger's three pounces were not simply a series of fierce pounces, but rather each "shock" was aimed at Qin Wu's joint lock.

Its power is so fierce that once it locks you in place, even dislocated bones and broken tendons would be the least of your worries.

Luo Hao's eyes showed satisfaction, and the crowd gasped in surprise.

The spirit of the tiger has been bestowed upon me!

Qin Wu mentally shouted.

Previously, he was simply learning and comprehending the Tiger-Taming Fist, but now it's different. Regardless of the reason, one must always be responsible for one's choices.

Although Qin Wu's strength had not changed, his imposing presence at this moment far surpassed that of Hou Xin!

Faced with the terrifying tiger's imposing presence, Hou Xin hesitated for a moment.

And in that one moment, everything is decided!

Qin Wu pounced like a tiger, suddenly lunging at Hou Xin, his hands like claws, grabbing tendons and bones.

A jolt, and the enemy is locked in!

Hou Xin was immediately alarmed.

"How is that possible!"

Everyone was terrified; they even doubted whether they were seeing things.

Qin Wu actually used the ultimate technique of the Tiger Subduing Fist!

At that moment, Hou Xin's eyes were bloodshot, and he barely managed to dodge to the side.

But Qin Wu didn't give him a chance to escape. He strode forward and thrust his elbow straight into his chest.

Hou Xin was so shocked by the impact that his vision blurred. If he hadn't already mastered the three external gates, his sternum would probably have been broken.

Second shock, elbow strike!

"You dare!"

Luo Hao's expression changed drastically, and he immediately roared, already knowing what Qin Wu was planning to do.

Qin Wu remained unfazed, his hands forming claws as he grabbed Hou Xin's arms with a sudden, forceful pull.

Three shocks, dislocating tendons and bones!

"ah!!!"

A scream rang out.

Luo Hao was furious when he saw Hou Xin screaming in agony.

"You're asking for it!"

After defeating his enemy, Qin Wu's momentum surged even higher, and the tiger spirit behind him bared its fangs and claws, its eyes filled with fighting spirit as it looked at Luo Hao.

The opponent I just faced had the form of a crouching tiger, but lacked the power to subdue it.

Luo Hao, the senior disciple of the Liu family martial arts school, must have much more to offer.

Just as the two were about to make their move, a hurried voice rang out.

"What are you doing!"

……
