"Don't you believe me?"
Seeing Tantai Xiasang and Chen Xuanyin wearing speechless expressions, Mo Chen chuckled.
"Tantai Xiasang, test me!"
"Perform any set of martial arts or fist techniques I've never seen before, and I'll show you what heaven-defying comprehension means!"
Talent had to be displayed for others to see.
Sometimes, hiding one's abilities would only let opportunities slip through one's fingers.
As a transmigrator, Mo Chen understood this principle all too well.
He should hide his abilities when it was time to do so.
When it was not time to hide them, he should not.
If Mo Chen still could not guess why Tantai Xiasang had sought him out, then he was nothing but a fool.
The moment Tantai Xiasang asked whether he had only practiced martial arts for half a month, Mo Chen had already guessed this Senior Sister's intentions.
To recruit a genius!
Since that was the case, he naturally had to seize this opportunity and fight for his own future!
"I consider my comprehension of martial arts unmatched,"
Mo Chen said with a grin, extending a hand in invitation. "Miss Tantai, please set the test!"
Tantai Xiasang studied Mo Chen for a long while. After waiting a moment, she finally nodded. "Fine! Then let's test your talent."
As soon as she finished speaking, Tantai Xiasang gave Chen Xuanyin a look.
Chen Xuanyin immediately understood her meaning. With a cold sneer, he clenched his fists and stepped forward.
"Ignorant brat, you've talked too much big game. Don't bite your tongue!"
"Watch closely!"
With that, Chen Xuanyin began performing a domineering fist technique Mo Chen had never seen before.
"This fist technique is one of Martial Suppression Academy's three top-grade body-tempering martial arts, the Great Power Bear Demon Fist. It is said that once cultivated to mastery, it can alter one's physique and bones!"
As she watched Chen Xuanyin perform the technique, Tantai Xiasang explained calmly.
"Unfortunately, this technique is only an incomplete version. At present, it can barely be considered a low-grade fist technique. And because it is so difficult to learn, few people in the entire Martial Suppression Academy choose to cultivate it."
Mo Chen was somewhat surprised by this. "An incomplete top-grade martial art?"
Tantai Xiasang said nothing further and merely watched Chen Xuanyin continue his fist routine.
Chen Xuanyin glanced at Mo Chen, a trace of mockery curling his lips, before fully immersing himself in the technique.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Great Power Bear Demon Fist primarily imitated ancient demon bears. As Chen Xuanyin shifted his steps, it was as if a demon bear had stomped down, making the earth tremble.
His two arms swung with immense force, and the muscles and bones in the air produced sonic booms, cracking sharply.
His shoulder crashed forward like a bear ramming a great tree. His force struck through the air, shattering rocks.
After merely seven or eight moves, everything around them had been flattened by the tyrannical force of his fists.
The fist technique contained explosive, immense power, as well as incomparable vitality and blood force.
"This technique..."
Mo Chen's eyes widened as he sucked in a cold breath.
This was the most tyrannical fist technique he had ever seen.
It was ten, even a hundred times more domineering than the Fierce Tiger Fist.
Both were body-tempering fist techniques, yet one was in the heavens while the other was underground.
"As expected of a top-grade fist technique. Even an incomplete version is far beyond ordinary martial arts!"
The explosive force and thunderous speed displayed by the Great Power Bear Demon Fist completely shook Mo Chen to his core.
"If I'd used this fist technique last night, I could probably have killed even Lu Jianshen, who was at the middle stage of Condensed Astral, with a single punch!"
Its control over force was displayed to the fullest in the Great Power Bear Demon Fist.
It was a method of exerting force Mo Chen had never imagined.
It appeared clumsy, yet was actually swift and fierce, leaving enemies unable to guard against it.
Combined with the astonishingly powerful vitality and blood force Chen Xuanyin unleashed, Mo Chen's gaze burned with frightening intensity.
"I'll learn it! I have to learn this fist technique!"
The Great Power Bear Demon Fist originally had thirty-six forms. It was now incomplete, with only eighteen remaining.
Chen Xuanyin soon finished his demonstration. He withdrew his fists and steadied his breathing, then looked at Mo Chen with a sneer.
"Brat, it's your turn! Let's see this so-called saint-grade comprehension of yours!"
Tantai Xiasang stood with her hands behind her back, her beautiful eyes fixed on Mo Chen as well.
She wanted to see Mo Chen's comprehension.
"Fine!"
Mo Chen came back to his senses, drew a deep breath, and his eyes turned unusually serious.
"I like this fist technique very much, so I won't hold back!"
Chen Xuanyin mocked, "You don't actually think you can learn this fist technique after watching it once, do you?"
Though the Great Power Bear Demon Fist was incomplete, even its first eighteen forms still possessed the standard of a top-grade body-tempering martial art.
Moreover, it was exceedingly difficult to get started with.
Over the past three hundred years, countless disciples of Martial Suppression Academy had chosen this fist technique, only to regretfully give up in the end.
In Chen Xuanyin's view, there was no way Mo Chen, with merely average natural talent, could learn this fist technique after watching it once.
"You want to learn a fist technique of top-grade martial art caliber just by watching it once? What a joke!"
Chen Xuanyin curled his lip. The more he looked at Mo Chen, the more displeased he became.
Tantai Xiasang frowned and shot Chen Xuanyin a glance. "Why do you have so much nonsense to say? Quiet down! If you keep talking, get lost already!"
"Yes!" Chen Xuanyin shrank back and obediently stood behind and to the side of Tantai Xiasang.
Mo Chen paid no mind to this. He merely smiled.
"Since you're both looking forward to it so much, then I'll show you what comprehension truly is!"
He sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes.
Mo Chen gave the order in his heart, System! Exchange for the Great Power Bear Demon Fist and cultivate it for twenty-four years!
He was going all in!
Just moments ago.
After Chen Xuanyin had finished demonstrating the eighteen forms of the Great Power Bear Demon Fist.
The corresponding martial art information had appeared on Mo Chen's system panel.
[Top-grade · Incomplete · Great Power Bear Demon Fist (Not Yet Initiated)]
Thus, the moment he exchanged for it, his consciousness immediately entered the martial practice ground.
[Year 1: You mobilized the muscles, bones, and tendons throughout your body and attempted to cultivate the Great Power Bear Demon Fist. However, after deducing only three moves, your vitality, blood, muscles, and bones could no longer endure it, and you were defeated.] [Year 3: You gritted your teeth and persisted in bitter training, tempering your body with the Great Power Bear Demon Fist. Every day, sweat poured from you as your vitality and stamina were greatly depleted. Your appetite surged, and you could eat three pots of rice in a single meal.] [Year 7: You had become quite familiar with the Great Power Bear Demon Fist, yet you still had not entered the beginner stage. Whenever you cultivated to the twelfth move, your skin and blood would grow scorching hot, your muscles would ache, your major tendons would stretch taut, and your bones would itch as if gnawed by ants. It was worse than death.] [Year 10: Relying on astonishing perseverance, you finally overcame the pain of cultivating the Great Power Bear Demon Fist. From then on, you treated pain as tempering and exhaustion as motivation, training even harder and more diligently!] [Year 13: The Great Power Bear Demon Fist finally reached the beginner stage!]
Mo Chen inwardly relaxed slightly. Damn, this fist technique really is difficult!
For other martial artists, thirteen years of their lives would have simply vanished.
That was why no one could afford to spend that much time, and many chose to give up.
But Mo Chen was different!
He could continue cultivating at the cost of only some silver.
"Again!"
Mo Chen immediately continued his cultivation.
The Great Power Bear Demon Fist was originally a top-grade body-tempering martial art. It required no internal cultivation method, relying solely on mobilizing the muscles, bones, tendons, and vitality throughout the body to perform its various highly difficult moves.
Every move of this fist technique was extremely difficult. Whether it was the strange motions or the necessary coordination of vitality and blood force, neither was something ordinary martial artists could accomplish.
It could be said that the reason the Great Power Bear Demon Fist was called a top-grade body-tempering martial art—
Was because this fist technique could truly alter one's muscles, bones, tendons, and vitality.
Now that Mo Chen had merely entered the beginner stage, he could already feel how the Great Power Bear Demon Fist strengthened the foundation of his martial arts.
