Dong Yunchuan also stepped out, cleared his throat, and there was a hint of self-satisfaction in his expression.
"Ah Cheng, you want to learn palm techniques, then you definitely need to study our Eight Trigrams Palm seriously."
He puffed out his chest, speaking proudly:
"In all martial arts under heaven, as for which family’s Kung Fu is the strongest, there has been no conclusion to this day."
"But if you want to compare which family’s palm technique is the most professional and has the strongest attack, it definitely has to be our Eight Trigrams Palm."
"As the martial arts saying goes, with a single exchange of a move, a palm can conquer invincible opponents worldwide."
Dong Yunchuan snorted lightly, his shoulders shook, and then he assumed a stance, actively imparting the secrets of the Eight Trigrams Palm to Fang Cheng.
"The Eight Trigrams Palm is also known as the Eight Trigrams Linked Palm, with Eight Fixed Postures at its core."
"It includes basic palm techniques such as piercing, inserting, chopping, tossing, sweeping, bumping, covering, and flipping."
"Its technical characteristics are quite similar to Blade Technique, emphasizing rotation, interleaving, and chopping, hence it’s also called the merging of blade and palm."
As he spoke, he demonstrated, his palms opening and closing, with the wind from his palms whistling, carrying great momentum and force.
"Besides practicing palm techniques, normally practice should be accompanied by walking in circles and agile body movements, watch my footwork closely..."
Dong Yunchuan positioned his feet at the nine palaces of the eight trigrams, his steps as if wading through mud, his lower body stable, yet his upper body extraordinarily agile.
"This is called ’Mud Walking Step,’ enabling the body with strong elasticity and the ability to absorb impact, excelling at avoiding the real to attack the empty, attacking opponents from the side or rear."
"In combat, we don’t have fixed routines or stances, but instead continuously walk in circles and swap palms, making the moves endless and finding opportunities to defeat the enemy amid the changes..."
His footsteps formed circles, his figure spinning like a dragon, his palms flipping up and down like a butterfly through flowers, striking impressively.
It’s somewhat similar to the grace and agility of White Crane Boxing, but the range of movement is larger, the stance more stable, and the palm power thicker.
Fang Cheng’s eyes were bright, meticulously memorizing all the moves in his mind.
Once Dong Yunchuan finished his demonstration, Fang Cheng stepped forward and performed a set of Eight Trigrams Palm with almost identical likeness.
Although still lacking in the intricate changes of the moves, after practicing the basic palm techniques once, he quickly became proficient and adept.
Even the "circle walking" and "agile body" that Dong Yunchuan boasted were the hardest to practice seemed to be nearly mastered by Fang Cheng, as if he had practiced for several months.
Fang Cheng’s control over his body had reached an incredible level.
Coupled with his photographic memory, any move seemed to have no secrets in front of him.
Dong Yunchuan watched with both amazement and joy, and immediately pulled Chen Zizhen over from the side:
"Old Chen, stop hiding, teach Ah Cheng your Eagle Claw Skill too!"
Chen Zizhen looked helpless: "Mine is Claw Technique, it doesn’t match with palm technique."
"Why doesn’t it match!"
Dong Yunchuan glared:
"Didn’t you hear Old Wu say it? Finger Technique and Claw Technique are also broadly considered palm techniques. Don’t dawdle, don’t worry, teaching a disciple won’t starve the master!"
Chen Zizhen couldn’t resist, knowing he couldn’t get away today without showing something real.
He had to step forward and concisely demonstrate and explain to Fang Cheng the essential finger and palm techniques in Eagle Claw Skill related to grapple, locking, and holding techniques.
Eagle Claw Skill emphasizes finger strength, grasping the meridian, bone splitting, and muscle twisting, with sharp, tricky moves, distinct from the previous two styles.
Its core lies in finger power, using the claw in place of the palm, tearing, grasping, holding, pinching, every move targeting key joints of the human body.
Fang Cheng already had a background in Sanda grappling, learning it was even easier for him.
After observing, he also practiced it once.
When engrossed in practicing, he no longer simply mimicked.
Instead, he boldly combined the agility of White Crane Boxing, the thickness of Eight Trigrams Palm, and the fierceness of Eagle Claw Skill, these three distinct styles of Kung Fu.
He moved swiftly around the courtyard, his arms extending like crane wings, agile and graceful, spinning like a dragon, thick and continuous, with palms, fingers, and claws moving at will.
Sometimes striking out with the palm, sharp as a spear; sometimes chopping down with the palm, sharp as a blade; and sometimes reaching out and transforming into eagle claws, fierce and tricky.
The whole person seemed to transform into a whirlwind, with palm shadows flying, imposing, creating a whistling force around. Check latest chapters at NovєlFіre.net
The few elders watched in astonishment, forgetting to even applaud and cheer.
Fang Cheng was completely immersed in this entirely new experience.
He felt his application of the "hand" had reached an unprecedented new height.
Fist, palm, finger, and claw, these different forms, were no longer isolated moves but a weapon arsenal that could be freely switched and combined.
Suddenly, a brilliant light flashed before his eyes, and a prompt message appeared.
