Chapter 204: Chapter 177: Star Stone Seals the Door, I am the King in Shuilian Cave! [6700-word Mega Chapter!]_4

First, trust in the woman’s character.

Second, as long as the person isn’t foolish, they should know that to escape the Shuilian Cave, they must rely on Yan Chuan.

Character is there!

Life is there!

Yan Chuan certainly has no fear.

However, caution is never a mistake.

"Thank you, friend, for your mercy just now. I mean no harm. For the next few days, please stay in that position and don’t move around, to avoid any misunderstandings."

"Cultivating here produces twice the result with half the effort."

"You will have your share of ’Monkey Wine,’ enough to fill you up."

Yan Chuan pointed to a corner of the wall, a bend near the cave entrance, just out of direct view, and about three zhang away from Yan Chuan, approximately two zhang from the edge of the Gravity Domain.

This distance.

In the Gravity Domain, if there were any thoughts or movements, Yan Chuan would sense it immediately.

One must be guarded against others.

"Forgive me!"

Yan Chuan clasped his fists towards Cao Jun.

"Do you have a way to get out?" Cao Jun looked at Yan Chuan.

Yan Chuan nodded, "Getting out is not difficult, but we have to wait ten days."

Ten days!

Cao Jun remained silent but turned and quietly crawled in the direction indicated by Yan Chuan’s finger.

One is at the mercy of others!

There is no choice!

...

"Catch the wine!"

After Cao Jun crawled to the designated spot, he saw the young man fiercely throw a wine pouch through the Gravity Domain, landing right in front of him.

"Thank you!" Cao Jun took a sip of the Monkey Wine, then supported himself against the wall, shakily standing up, assuming a Pile Skill posture, and began to stand stance and refine the medicinal power.

With this practice.

Indeed, as the young man said, the effect was remarkable.

Misfortune may be where fortune lies; fortune may be where misfortune hides!

Cao Jun found solace in hardship, immersing herself in stance, striving to withstand the pressure of mountains on her body.

Though she was a woman, she practiced ’Tiger Fist’ with her brother Cao Yan, and also assumed the ’Tiger Stance.’

Tiger Stance powers the training.

Therefore, both Cao Yan and Cao Jun possessed astonishing Qi Power.

They had come to Iron Arm Monkey Mountain to steal Monkey Wine to advance their ’Tiger Fist’ to a higher level.

The ’Cao Family’s Tiger Fist’ may not be an Earth-level Secret Scripture, but after generations of research, it was above standard, much stronger than ordinary Human-level Secret Manuals.

Pile Skill powers training!

And it’s exquisite!

But —

"Sink shoulders and elbows, focus intention, head up, support back and leg in concert. Eyes on the distant connecting outer intent, lower abdomen often round enhancing Qi. Don’t do a false frame, emphasize inner cultivation, truthful adaptation to purpose. The Ten Major Stances have this form, storing energy in the three sections divided into nine fragments. Aspire for explosive power without fear, dare embrace killing aura with grandeur. Xingyi foundation should be prepared, seeking miraculous power endlessly."

Cao Jun was standing in stance when a voice unexpectedly came to her ears, explaining the subtleties of the ’Tiger Stance.’

Cao Jun turned her head.

She saw the young man walk into the Gravity Domain again, his face flushed, surprisingly also standing in the Tiger Stance.

Standing as well.

Lecturing as well.

"I once observed the Hundred Schools Boxing Skill, creating a technique ’Xingyi Boxing,’ of which the ’Three Body Formation’ is the foundation of all Pile Skills, containing the ’Ten Major Stances,’ within is a ’Fu Hu Stance’ as the primary Pile Skill for enhancing strength."

"The power training stance, capturing the dragon and subduing the tiger within. After persistent practice, the power will naturally be extraordinary."

"This is the head of the ’Tiger Stance,’ also integrated with the secret skill of my earlier creation ’Tiger Form Divine Technique,’ raising it to a higher level, having a wonderful effect on increasing Qi Power and Inner Strength."

"Watch my movements carefully—"

"Lift and cut the arms, both palms clamping each other, spreading support, ten fingers contending, fingertips pointing forward, upward, downward pressing, sinking elbows horizontally supporting, relying on the back, the momentum pressing the top."

"This is the Upper Plate!"

"In the Lower Body, base the stride on balance, with the front two parts and back eight parts being essential. Be sure to inwardly align the knees during bending."

"With the body lowered, return gaze as the spirit seeks the rear to secure the front. Twisting like the sea, overturning rivers encompassing torsion, the power suitably sought for full-body readiness. If achieving the structure and intention in between, practice in alignment as expertise aims to explore, the pursuit of intent follows the righteous path."

...

Initially, Cao Jun wasn’t attentive. She believed that whether it was her own ’Tiger Fist,’ ’Tiger Stance,’ or her understanding and interpretations, they were already outstanding of her generation, and among peers, hard to reach. Naturally, she wouldn’t care about Yan Chuan’s teachings.

However, as she stood and listened, she unknowingly became focused, immersed, and without realizing it, began to think.

"Fu Hu Stance!"

"Its magic lies in inner intention, pressing with clamping, holding, supporting, pulling. Its spirit, like a crouching tiger, seeks external application through low positioning, harboring the momentum of an angry tiger leaving the forest, subduing fierce tigers, embodying dignified presence, bravery of spirit, associating hand and foot actions, body movement, and relying on heroic spirit. Embrace the heart of contempt for opponents, without the weakness of fear."

"So that’s it!"

"It’s like this—"

"Unlike my ’Tiger Stance,’ his ’Fu Hu Stance’ emphasizes the sensation and accumulation of downward strength in toppling, flipping, lunging, ramming, pressing, pushing, squeezing, separating, embracing, lifting, wringing, and twisting."

"The intention of the arm, the application of retained strength should spring from the body’s intention, with the leg’s overall coordination functioning—"

"The source of power lies in the body, the root of power is in the feet, power travels through the body, power emanates from the legs, connecting through the waist reaching back all in one flowing movement."

"The application of power often lies in the hands, because power roots in the feet, emanates from the legs, travels through the waist and back, reaching the fingertips."

...

Cao Jun unknowingly began to change, to improve.

The deeper her foundation in the ’Tiger Stance,’ the more she realized how sophisticated Yan Chuan’s orally shared ’Fu Hu Stance’ was, every word and sentence seemed to be changes made specifically for the ’Tiger Stance.’

Just like one plus one equals two!

As Yan Chuan taught, this was truth, this was the correct answer. A numeracy-illiterate might question or refute, but the more adept at arithmetic, the harder to argue against, leaving only recognition.

This was precisely Cao Jun’s feeling at this moment.

She couldn’t refute, couldn’t resist, could only go with the flow, think, then accept and internalize it.

Tiger Fist and Tiger Stance!

Practicing without realizing, they became in the shape of Yan Chuan!
