Chapter 462: The Second Phase

“Haha, that’s fantastic!”

Overwhelmed with excitement that had been pent up in his heart, Su Jingfeng released it all at once, so proud he barely knew himself anymore.

The other squad members were also eagerly awaiting this moment.

After all, they had sweated profusely for ten days, all hoping to see the expected return on their efforts. Everyone had been holding their breath, and once they passed, it would transform into joy, excitement, and full confidence.

In an instant, the team’s fighting spirit was boiling over!

The vice-captain had set such an example, and they were not about to fall behind.

“Xiao Dao, your turn,” Lu Chenbing commanded, like a king selecting his generals, full of vigor.

With such strength in his subordinates, the entire police district’s competition would see the War Wolf Squad make a remarkable impression and capture everyone’s attention.

“Yes!”

Xiao Dao jogged over to the punching bag, stood up straight, took a deep breath, and slowly formed his right hand into a fist, gathering all his strength.

With a “bang,” the punching bag swung high, finally surpassing 120 degrees, an impressive display indeed.

After passing the test, Xiao Dao stood aside with joy beaming across his face.

One by one, squad members took their turn at the punching bag assessment.

In the end, everyone’s results were in.

Among them, Su Jingfeng had the best score, in a league of his own.

The three squad leaders, Xiao Dao, Hai Feng, and Qiangzi, also performed quite well, each surpassing 120 degrees.

And the rest were not far behind, all exceeding 90 degrees.

Even the squad member with the lowest score was close to 100 degrees.

With that, Xu Fan’s evaluation came to a successful conclusion, with everyone passing the test.

Lu Chenbing couldn’t stop smiling from ear to ear.

Originally, Xu Fan had expected that at least three to five squad members would fail, not out of guesswork, but because when he visited last time, some members were somewhat weaker physically due to their proficiency with firearms and other areas.

Unexpectedly, these guys had also put in the hard work and succeeded in their challenge today.

“You guys still surprised me, all passing the assessment,” Xu Fan said with a smile.

“Roar~” The squad members’ faces turned red with excitement as they shouted continuously.

Lu Chenbing did not skimp on praise and, lowering his hand, said, “Haha, even Instructor Xu has praised you. As the captain, I am also very pleased. The lads of the War Wolf Squad are indeed amazing.”

He led the applause with that.

The squad members also joined in the clapping, their progress deserving self-applause.

Suddenly, Xiao Dao stirred up the crowd, “Instructor, could you also punch the bag so we can see for ourselves?”

“Haha… I really want to see what it looks like.”

“Just one punch, please, Instructor.”

“…”

The group clamored, they knew Xu Fan was strong, but they wanted to see just how strong, and to find out how much he outclassed them.

“Stop, stop, stop, you get a date and now you want to climb the tree with a stick to knock down more?”

Lu Chenbing sternly scolded them, then turned to Xu Fan and shrugged helplessly, “Elder Xu, the team is calling for it. Let’s not disappoint them, shall we? Just show us a move.”

“Right on!” The squad members were all very expectant.

Xu Fan sighed and grudgingly said, “Since everyone’s requesting it so earnestly, I suppose I’ll have to give a clumsy performance.”

Then, he stood three meters away from the punching bag, his hands folded behind his back, his gaze serene.

Everyone held their breath, watching intently…

Whoosh!

A brief and brisk swooshing sound suddenly erupted, followed by Xu Fan disappearing from his original spot, leaving behind a blurred afterimage in the air. His punch was so fast, as swift as thunder, that no one on the scene could see his movements clearly.

“Bang!”

But then, a loud explosion hit their ears, and everyone looked on, dumbfounded, at the iron sand scattering in all directions.

As it turned out, his punch had burst the sandbag open.

It wasn’t just a hole he punched through the bag, but the force permeated the entire sandbag. The iron sand inside, under the influence of this force, made the whole bag burst apart.

Xu Fan withdrew his fist, as nonchalant as a passing breeze.

“I… I go… He burst it with a single punch!”

“You scared me; is he even human?”

“Wow wow wow, Instructor Xu is too fierce, I’m utterly in awe.”

“…”

For a while, the team members all wore looks of utter astonishment.

In their minds, they had been convinced that Instructor Xu’s strength would allow him to spin the punching bag a full round, a 360-degree rotation kind of punch.

But the reality was, they had grossly underestimated him.

Instructor Xu wasn’t just streets ahead of them; he was in a different world.

They couldn’t even begin to imagine the magnitude of the force behind the punch he had just thrown.

Lu Chenbing’s mouth twitched a few times, and he joked, “Elder Xu, had I known, I wouldn’t have let you punch. We just bought this equipment, it cost quite a bit of money.”

Without a word, Xu Fan just gave him a look that said, ‘Don’t you know there’s no medicine for regret in this world?’ It was not his fault; it was Lu and his team members who had insisted strongly on it.

Lu Chenbing, too, couldn’t possibly take the matter seriously. Changing the subject, he asked, “Elder Xu, according to our agreement, can they now continue their cultivation of the Martial Venerate Fighting Techniques?”

“Of course they can.”

“Haha… That’s great; these ten days of rigorous training were not in vain after all.”

The team members wore faces of joy, hugging each other as if the national football team had just won the World Cup, their eyes almost brimming with tears.

Xu Fan let them enjoy their moment, then spoke, “The Martial Venerate Fighting Techniques consist of three Realms: Body Tempering, Bone Strengthening, and Marrow Training. You all have trained for ten days, and anyone who has hit the punching bag and made it rotate more than 120 degrees has reached the Bone Strengthening Realm. The others, though a bit behind, are close to completing the Body Tempering Realm.”

“Therefore, all of you can start practicing the second phase of the Martial Venerate Fighting Techniques. This technique focuses on physical conditioning; however, it significantly differs from horizontal external trainings or specialized external skills like Eagle Claw that focus on a particular body part. The enhancement it brings to the physique is all-encompassing, improving the body inside and out as a whole.”

“The first phase is the foundational fist technique of the Martial Venerate Fighting Techniques that can increase the body’s strength, focusing more on training. The second phase includes specialized combat techniques, a total of thirteen moves, which mean thirteen actions.”

“Everybody pay attention; I’m going to teach the first six moves now. This is very important.”

Having said that, Xu Fan began to demonstrate.

Everyone watched without blinking, afraid to miss any detail with even the slightest blink of an eye.

Even Lu Chenbing didn’t dare make a sound that could disturb the demonstration, stepping to the side to understand the techniques seriously.

As a child, he had been a Bagua Fist disciple, and after many years of cultivation, had already mastered the Strong Body Realm to perfection. He was still short of the insights needed for the Body Tempering Realm, so he hoped to use this opportunity to make some advancements.

He had only experienced the first phase of the basic fist techniques of the Martial Venerate Fighting Techniques, but the impact it had on him was beyond imagination.@@novelbin@@

Not to mention this second phase, whose effects were likely to be even more fierce.

“The first move, Willow Flicking the Moon.”

Xu Fan’s body became as flexible as a willow branch, gently swaying under the breeze, as if beckoning the moon reflected in a river.

This move emphasized the unity of form and spirit, with its gentle motions combining with a prolonged artistic conception, epitomizing “the way of softness,” but within each subtle motion lied a surge of “firm strength.”
