Chapter 24 Mantis Fist versus Five Forms Fist
Once it’s a matter of skill exchange, there’s no need to take things seriously.
First and foremost, keep the opponent’s power at just over three tenths. Since Poisonous Snake has 99 techniques all being killing blows, they can’t be used here. So Five Forms Fist is sufficient for this purpose.
With that in mind, Kuzuki quietly controls his body muscles, exerting minimal force while maintaining precise control over every inch of his body.
“Start!” Su Can called out to the musicians before him as he instructed them to begin playing.
Although this approach seems unconventional, once he heard the music, he quickly entered a state of readiness.
“Looking at his expression, it doesn’t seem like there’s much strength left. Let me try Mantis Fist first to gauge its effectiveness.” With that decision made, Su Can stepped forward with a single foot planted firmly on the ground and his upper body slightly tilted as if in a defensive stance (‘branching root’, ‘trunk stability’), while keeping his legs steady—’flexible trunk, solid roots’.
“Swoop!” [Sound effect]
With a decisive step forward and a hook extended with his other hand like a fishing gesture toward Kuzuki’s neck.
A skilled martial artist can sense the opponent’s intentions from afar.
Just by observing Su Can’s approach, it’s as if an ant has been transformed into a fearsome lioness ready to strike. His movements are swift and powerful.
However, his style is straightforward without any variation in power delivery, indicating he hasn’t yet reached the ‘Tiger-Leopard Thunder Sound’ stage of his martial arts.
“Plop!” [Sound effect]
Kuzuki extended one hand like a bridge and blocked Su Can’s hook with a swift motion, resulting in an immediate collision between their arms. The impact was heard as a loud thud.
Even at this stage of his martial arts career, using only three-tenths of his strength still results in considerable force.
“Arts Expert! My Mantis Fist has reached eight-ninths of its full potential. However, the hook was too weak to dislodge him, causing Su Can’s own hand to ache with pain.” Su Can moved quickly and skillfully, using his expert skills to avoid direct confrontation.
He used his expert martial arts techniques, employing a feint followed by a precise strike. His movements were quick and evasive, avoiding any straight-on attacks.
Su Can’s training in the art of the small stick involved years of practice on bamboo poles. As an expert martial artist, he could move with the grace and agility of a pro, maintaining balance while moving fluidly.
Kuzuki had to hold back his attacks after receiving a series of counterattacks from Su Can’s side moves.
“His body quality is half a level lower than mine. However, his techniques are decent. He’s persistently attacking and changing his tactics, yet he doesn’t seem to be fazed by the pressure. In fact, I sense that he might have some hidden strengths.” Kuzuki admitted with a shrug.
If he were to unleash full force, it would certainly cause an impact worthy of note. However, due to his limited body strength, there’s always a brief period when he can’t respond effectively after each attack.
It’s a principle that long-term martial artists understand: holding back is often the best strategy in combat.
With only three-tenths of his strength, Kuzuki isn’t able to deal with Su Can’s relentless attacks in a relaxed manner.
Su Can used his expert techniques, employing a variety of strikes and counters. He incorporated both defensive moves and offensive tactics, resulting in considerable pressure on Kuzuki.
“Call!”
Another convocationSu Can’s attack, Kuzuki did not flash, instead discerned a weakness in Su Can’s defense and struck with his Tiger Paws, a powerful blow that sent shockwaves through the air.
Five Forms Fist: Starving Tiger Snatches Prey!
Kuzuki launched his attack with force and ferocity, leaving Su Can in awe of the sheer power displayed.
The impact was so devastating that it snapped like a wooden pole, breaking cleanly through Su Can’s defenses.
Su Can quickly lowered himself by bending his knees and arched his spine, as if he were about to glide downwards on wings.
Plum Blossom Mantis Fist·Aimless Antics!
The mantis-like stance allowed Su Can to leap upwards with impressive speed, clearing the air and landing some distance above him.
Recognizing his opponent’s strength, Kuzuki raised his skill level to fifty percent, a significant improvement that turned the tide of battle.
This marked the turning point as Su Can found himself at a disadvantage due to Kuzuki’s enhanced power.
In an instant, Kuzuki launched another attack, catching Su Can off guard and driving him back with force.
The sound echoed like the wings of a crane flapping furiously, attempting to grasp Su Can’s body.
Five Forms Fist: Twin Hands Greet the Wind!
Kuzuki’s powerful blows were met with little resistance as Su Can struggled to maintain his footing in mid-air.
The air grew still, and Su Can found himself suspended in mid-air without any available angles for defense.
Kuzuki’s superior technique rendered Su Can helpless against the force of his blows.
With a fraction of a second to spare, Kuzuki caught Su Can off guard with a double probe aimed at his chest.
The impact was so intense that it snapped like a whip, breaking through Su Can’s defenses effortlessly.
Kuzuki’s movements were precise and calculated, each strike built upon the previous one with no room for error.
The force of his blows was so concentrated that Su Can found it nearly impossible to break free from Kuzuki’s grip.
Five Forms Fist: Leopards Leap!
The shockwave sent through the air caused Su Can to lose his footing, collapsing with a heavy thud on the ground.
Kicking out in reaction, he stumbled forward several times before finally collapsing into a chair after an extended period of rest.
The sudden impact sent shockwaves through the air, causing Su Can to lose his balance and fall heavily onto the ground.
[As the development of ‘body’, ‘skill’, and ‘qi’, this is a world full of challenges… No, judging from the performance of Su Can and Zhao Wuji in the later period, their ‘qi’ attributes far exceed ‘skill’ and ‘body’. Ordinary battles are not enough to threaten martial artists with ‘qi’, but facing experts who have made achievements in ‘qi’, there may be changes that I cannot predict]
Two warriors clash in a humorous manner, leaving everyone else puzzled.
The crowd cheers with “good…!” but quickly stops when realizing it’s someone who lost.
Su Can stands up after the fight, his expression becoming serious.
Kuzuki nods in agreement and leaves promptly.
“Tiger and Crane Forms? No, I also know Tiger and Crane Forms; this move isn’t it… What is this a martial art?”
Having already exchanged hands and roughly assessed the world’s martial arts combat style, Kuzuki decides to leave.
“It’s my family inheritance, Five Forms Fist. Let Su Can see it as a joke. I have things to do; I’ll leave now.”
Su Can, in Guangdong Province, is no pushover—among the top martial artists but rarely beaten.
“Good martial arts! I’ve decided to return and train seriously. I’ll consider you my lifelong rival; if not defeated, I won’t stop!”
However, upon returning home, Su Can appears relaxed, sitting on a bamboo chair eating grapes.
“Young Master, you’re serious about training?”
Su Can hums and says: “You are serious? My martial arts have reached an extremely high level; practicing won’t improve my strength. Only by absorbing the essence of things around me can I progress further. These grapes are a bit sour; let’s exchange them for apples.”
