"Shaolin Arhat Fist is clear and concise, short and compact, flexible and changeable. Practitioners make moves like arrows and retract them like silk. Once a move succeeds, they attack continuously. Experts can throw out hundreds of punches in a short time without even losing breath.
I must defeat the enemy swiftly; otherwise, if this guy presses hard and keeps suppressing me, it will be very difficult to turn the situation around." Wu Hujie quickly discerned his opponent’s boxing technique and swiftly devised a strategy in his mind.
In contrast, this Ming Jin master from Hong Kong couldn’t determine the origin of Wu Hujie’s boxing technique at all. For a time, the situation was bright on the surface but dark underneath, yet Wu Hujie had a slight upper hand.
This is the advantage of a great nation’s five thousand years of rich cultural history, centered around the core martial arts sects such as Shaolin, Wudang, Emei Sect, Kongtong, and Kunlun Sect.
Numerous martial artists have created a vast number of martial arts derived from their own insights, spreading across the vast 9.6 million square kilometers of land.
Even in secluded valleys or small desert villages, there might be some martial arts that outsiders have never heard of.
These martial artists living on that small place called Hong Kong have a limited view, knowing only Shaolin and Wudang, utterly unaware of how deep the martial arts heritage is in mainland China. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ NovᴇlFirᴇ(.)nᴇt
Character Gate Fist is merely one of them, just the tip of the iceberg.
The sound of Shaolin Arhat Fist percussion echoed as Wu Hujie, holding his breath, connected his palms continuously, blocking and countering. For a moment, the two were evenly matched, and soon, twenty moves had passed.
Wu Hujie grabbed his opponent’s punch as usual, intending to separate, but suddenly he pulled back, gripping the opponent’s hand fiercely with his five fingers and swung, drawing the opponent towards him.
Just as quickly as this happened, the Ming Jin master from Hong Kong reacted extremely fast. The Shaolin Arhat Fist’s practical stance against the middle position involves a straight line and a single body, a unique offense and defense method of Arhat Fist. This stance is effective whether attacking or defending.
When Wu Hujie suddenly changed his move, the opponent reacted. His stance seemed to have an unstable lower body but was actually performing a low kick directly aimed at Wu Hujie’s ankle.
Although Arhat Fist is boxing, like Baji Fist, it includes footwork; the leg techniques in Arhat Fist are extraordinary, focusing on low leg kicks that are highly discreet and can catch opponents off guard, subduing them in one move.
Wu Hujie allowed himself to be kicked, using one hand to lift and swipe upward with a palm strike, hitting the opponent’s jaw. It seemed like a gentle slap, but when it connected, an astonishing sound of bone shattering occurred.
Character Gate Fist, Hidden Sleeve Hook!
The Ming Jin master from Hong Kong opened his eyes wide, staring incredulously before falling stiffly to the ground, his mouth emitting a hissing sound like a broken machine releasing air.
It turned out that when Wu Hujie’s palm was about to hit the opponent’s jaw, his fingers clenched towards the palm, with four knuckle joints striking the opponent’s throat bone.
Wu Hujie, after all, is also a Ming Jin master; with this strike, even if he didn’t use all his strength, he exerted seven or eight percent of his power. Any Dark Force master hit by such a move would perish instantly.
"Boss, are you okay?"
When the opponent fell, Wu Hujie also lost his footing, collapsing onto the ground.
An ankle hard-hit by a Ming Jin master’s strong leg kick, even his bones couldn’t withstand such force; this leg was now crippled.
"No problem. Did anything happen outside? Go see where this guy came from." Wu Hujie gritted his teeth, clutching his aching ankle.
