Chapter 38: 【035】Xingyi Boxing Advanced

As one of the three major styles of Internal Boxing, Xingyi Boxing is based on Pile Skill, centered on explosive force, combined with form, it swiftly attacks and kills.

Practitioners of Xingyi Boxing emphasize varied attacks and kills, aiming to defeat an enemy with one strike.

For the Dragon, Tiger, Monkey, Horse, Chicken, Swallow, Kite, Tuó, Snake, Cormorant, Eagle, and Bear forms, one must understand these Twelve Forms Fist to achieve varied attacks and kills.

Dragon form trains spirit, spirit emanates from the eyes, power is shown in the claws, energy roots from the waist.

The Tiger has the courage to hunt, capable of both hip strikes and tail sweeps, storing power temporarily for release, using the rear kick and waist force to pounce forward, allowing high and far leaps, swiftly and mightily.

Monkey is sensitive and clever, its leaps and movements are agile, hands and feet unite, striving for the whole body to move at once.

Horse form contains the power of swift hooves in its embrace, charging forward, with wrists particularly skilled in inside wrist scraping techniques.

...

In front of Wang Longhu, Chen Wen demonstrated each move and stance in detail to Wang Longhu, without holding anything back.

Wang Longhu watched with utmost attention, not daring to slacken for a moment, as the great monk had told him that practicing martial arts hinges on correct posture and accurate force application.

Otherwise, even with a martial arts manual in hand, without guidance to point out mistakes, self-training would only lead to meridians feeling like needles piercing, with skills regressing instead of advancing.

Thus Wang Longhu cherishes this moment of Chen Wen teaching him, wishing to absorb all the knowledge Chen Wen imparted like a sponge.

"Xingyi Boxing evolved from Heart and Intent Six Harmonies Boxing, initially, Dai Longbang passed down ten forms. Later, the founder of Xingyi Boxing, Li Longneng, added the Tuó and Cormorant forms, making Xingyi Boxing’s theories and techniques largely differ from Heart and Intent Boxing, thus making its attack methods more comprehensive."

Bang! Bang!

Chen Wen took a fierce step forward, striking with both fists, producing two explosive sounds out of thin air, with a momentum like a tiger pouncing on prey, causing those faced with it to be astonished.

Wang Longhu watched wide-eyed; this move was precisely the Tiger Form Beng Fist.

Tiger Form is originally a pouncing style, coupled with the force of Beng Fist, is purely the combination of two hard forces, fierce and unrivaled.

As expected, an ordinary person would have to be sent to the hospital for emergency treatment if hit by Chen Wen’s move.

"Alright, I’ve demonstrated everything about Xingyi Boxing, how much you can comprehend depends on your own insight." Chen Wen made a gesture to finish his demonstration, faint beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, showing that this performance took quite a toll on his body.

Now Wang Longhu was no longer the ignorant ordinary person he used to be, seeing Chen Wen produce crisp sounds when striking indicated he was also a master of Ming Jin.

And for Internal Boxing masters, sweat rarely flows unless they can’t control it, which is a testament to one’s skill.

"Master Chen, are you alright?" Wang Longhu asked with concern.

"I’m getting old. The path of martial arts doesn’t progress without moving forward; even if one keeps practicing, one can’t guarantee continuous improvement—any slight laxity and the decline becomes evident,

like those External Boxing masters, no matter how strong they train, once they reach their thirties or forties, their bodies can’t withstand it anymore, having trained their whole lives leaving their bodies full of injuries, internal troubles, and external issues,

Internal Boxing is slightly better; if not severely injured, their condition can be maintained until their seventies or eighties, but boxing fears youth, the old can’t beat the young, ultimately human physique has its limits." Chen Wen couldn’t help but lament.

This lament deeply resonated with Wang Longhu, who had to embark on the path of training due to his physical issues.

"Master Chen, I will definitely study what you’ve taught me well." Wang Longhu said with utmost seriousness.

Chen Wen smiled with relief: "With your words, it’s good enough. Your talent is the highest I’ve seen in my lifetime. With you, Xingyi Boxing might have another form developed in the future,

come, show me your practice, I’ll correct your posture."

Wang Longhu recalled the moves Chen Wen just taught him and immediately began simulating the Five Elements Fist and Twelve Forms Fist in place.

Chen Wen stood nearby, extremely strict in correcting Wang Longhu’s movements and teaching him the mistakes in the five types of force application techniques in the Five Elements Fist.

A master and a student, one old, one young.

Both were completely immersed in traditional martial arts, so much so that they both forgot time was silently passing.

Three hours later.

"Gugugu."

Hearing the sound from his stomach, Chen Wen raised his head and looked at the sky, his expression a bit dazed: "I didn’t expect it to be noon, time passed by unnoticed."

Having practiced the boxing for several hours, Wang Longhu felt truly fulfilled and invigorated.

When you wholeheartedly study something, you really feel mentally enriched, secure, with a sensation of progress.

Seeing Chen Wen express such emotion, Wang Longhu laughed: "I didn’t notice either, it feels amazing, like several hours passed in a blink."

Chen Wen nodded: "This state is akin to the Daoist concept of Unity of Heaven and Man, where one forgets time and space, deeply immersing themselves in their inner world,

in such a state, perception, thought, and clarity all greatly improve, allowing one to achieve things beyond normal circumstances,

Young man, you’ve now mastered Xingyi Boxing thoroughly, in terms of technique there’s nothing worth further critique, remember to continue your practice in daily life, without needing my guidance anymore."

Wang Longhu gratefully clasped his hands: "Thank you, Master Chen."

"Additionally, Xingyi Boxing embodies the force of a spear in boxing, once your boxing skills are established, you can try understanding the Xingyi Great Spear, if practiceable, it will also benefit your Xingyi Boxing."

Chen Wen picked up his bag from the side: "I’m leaving now, with Typhoon Coral coming soon, I probably won’t come here for morning exercises again; take care."

After saying this, Chen Wen slowly faded into the distance.

Previously, Wang Longhu hadn’t noticed, only today he realized that Chen Wen’s walking posture, the position of his feet was different from that of ordinary people.

He always touched the ground with his toes, then the old Beijing cloth shoes curved, the middle of the sole did not touch the ground, then heel touched the ground, raised, then toes touched again.

This posture was extremely peculiar, resembling somewhat like a rooster’s gait.

Wang Longhu tried mimicking it and only felt extremely awkward, making it difficult to walk properly.

"Seems Master Chen still has quite a few tricks up his sleeve; see if I can learn more from him in the future." Wang Longhu thought to himself, abandoning the idea of continuing to imitate this footwork, quickly started running in the direction of Chang Pit using Lightweight Skill steps.

He got too absorbed in martial arts today and passed mealtime; wonder if that group of stray dogs are starving.

Upon accepting what the great monk entrusted, Wang Longhu promised to take care of this group of stray dogs; one must keep their word and not delay.
