Chapter 66: Racket Strikes Ball

  ♂?,,

  Sun Deyang was already over thirty years old, but he was still severely scolded by Old Sun.

  He's also unlucky. Normally doing things steadily like an old man, it's hard to go crazy once, but almost made a big mistake.

  In a fit of rage, after waiting for Lao Sun and Lin Hong to go into the inner room, he scolded his disciples again until they were covered in sweat.

  The disciples were trembling with fear, their heads bowed low, but actually they couldn't help but smile on their faces.

  "Master, is it really okay for Shaozi to use the three-body technique?" Shao Gang, as the eldest senior brother, had a bit more guts than others and asked the question that was on everyone's mind.

  Lin Hong's three-body stance looked sloppy, but Master said he had grasped the essence. They couldn't help but admit it, as they had just witnessed that Master had only taught Third Young Master the three-body stance, and after practicing for three years, he was able to withstand Master's heavy punches without a scratch, which left them extremely shocked.

  "Ah, what a blockhead!" Sun De Yi cursed with a hint of frustration before starting to explain, "The three-body style of our young Shifu is his own unique three-body style. I'll tell you again, the true three-body style doesn't have a fixed or unchanging posture. At first, we emphasize that your movements must be standardized, even your gaze is detailedly specified, this is just to guide you into the basics."

  Everyone's face showed a look of seeming understanding but actually being perplexed.

  "The three-body stance conforms to the natural way. When you stand up and feel it, you will think that the more you stand, the more uncomfortable you are, your whole body is very awkward. At this time, it is the time to make subtle adjustments to the three-body stance. The ultimate goal of standing in a three-body stance is to stand out with your own three-body stance!"

  Belonging to one's own three-body style?

  It wasn't until everyone heard this sentence that they gradually began to understand a little bit.

  Sun De-yi continued: "Make this posture your instinct, without needing to use conscious thought to control the bones and muscles of the body. When we walk normally, do we need to carefully think about how to step, how to control the leg muscles in order to move? Not at all! Once you try to control it, it's very likely that both hands and feet will become clumsy, and even the whole body will lose balance and fall over." Sun De-yi said this while walking around in front of everyone.

  He continued to give several examples, repeatedly emphasizing that when practicing boxing, it is necessary to use one's own conscious control at the beginning, but after continuous practice and strengthening, this step should be gradually abandoned.

  "...Similarly, in the end, we don't need to think about how to stand or control, once you need to put all your thoughts on controlling muscles and bones, you will never truly experience the essence of San Ti Shi. This is the 'intention' of Xingyiquan."

  This is his first time talking about the "fist intention" of Xingyiquan for everyone.

  Practicing boxing ultimately means to cultivate instinct and the intention of boxing. This instinct does not need to be driven by subjective consciousness, just like the conditioned reflexes of various parts of the body, without the need for brain control. As long as the triggering conditions are met, such as being attacked by others, the body will instinctively take corresponding countermeasures.

  Lin Hong's previous block was exactly this situation. Although the handling method is not ideal, it is already extremely rare and precious, after all, his master did not teach him these things before.

  "Master, why did Little Shifu get punched and flew several meters away, but nothing happened?"

  One of the disciples asked, this is also another place where everyone did not understand.

  He took a punch from his master and flew out for dozens of meters, which was to be expected. But Lin Hong only had some redness and swelling on his arm, rolled around on the ground and immediately got up, nothing else happened. This couldn't help but make them feel extremely shocked. They could also see that the power of Master's previous punch was not small.

  Sun Deyi looked at his youngest disciple Shao Gang and saw that he too had a puzzled expression, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in his heart.

  "What I emphasized earlier is that we should adjust our body to a state of 'relaxation and softness'. However, this is not enough. In the three-body stance, one must stand with integrity."

  The concept of integrity, he had actually told them a long time ago, but none of them could understand it.

  "They haven't even warmed up yet. If I were to fire a shot at them from here, what would be the outcome?"

  Everyone fell silent for a moment.

  "Gengzi, come and answer." Sun Deyan had no choice but to call out his name.

  Shao Gang hesitated for a moment before vaguely recalling that his master had mentioned something about this before.

  "He hesitated and said: 'It should be where he was punched, the strength would explode in an instant, not wasting a bit... and directly fell to the ground.'"

  Sun De Yi nodded slightly: "Not bad! If there's no internal energy, this punch of mine can cause internal injury. The fist's power will penetrate the body, not wasting a bit, and the body will withstand the impact before flying out due to momentum."

  Sun De-yi then gave an example of a table tennis racket hitting the ball. Without any power, it's like hitting a solid rubber ball with a racket, and at the moment the racket hits the ball, the rubber ball will be flattened by the racket before bouncing back, and the rubber ball bears most of the impact. But for someone with internal energy, such as Lin Hong, when he is hit, his whole body is like an integral unit, just like hitting a table tennis ball, "bang" flying far away, seemingly very frightening, but actually nothing happened, all the power hitting him was converted into kinetic energy and dissipated, nothing at all.

  ……

  Inside the big hall.

  Lao Sun took out a bottle of medicinal liquor and applied it to Lin Hong's arm, rubbing it in for a while. The scorching sensation that had been plaguing Lin Hong immediately dissipated by half, replaced by a cool and refreshing feeling that was extremely comfortable.

  This is Lin Hong's first injury since learning martial arts.

  "Master, this medicinal wine is really effective, how much stock do you have? Can you spare some for me?"

  Old Sun smiled and said: "What are you coming for? If there's something going on, just come straight to me."

  Lin Hong paused for a moment before saying: "Master, my mother is back."

  Lao Sun was taken aback and suddenly understood his implied meaning.

  "When are you leaving?"

  Tomorrow.

  Old Sun nodded: "It's also good to go to Beijing and experience it."

  As for this day, he had actually anticipated it long ago. Lin Hongchi was bound to go out early, but he didn't expect it to come so soon at this time point.

  "In the capital, where the palm of your hand can cover a large area, countless dignitaries gather. From now on, be careful not to provoke trouble and don't let your temper get the better of you." Although this apprentice wasn't that kind of person, Old Sun still felt it necessary to remind him, "Of course, also don't lose the spirit of a martial artist. In short, act according to your abilities and think things through before doing them."

  "I was going to teach you other things later, but since I'm leaving tomorrow, I'll teach you one more way of fighting, so you won't get bullied outside."

  Lin Hong's eyes lit up as soon as he heard this. The things he had learned before were all within the scope of "practicing methods", and now his master was finally willing to teach him "fighting methods", so he was overjoyed.
