CHAPTER 374: CHAPTER 374: BREAKING THE MOVE

Hu Sanqian was amused by Chen Guan’s remarks, thinking to himself, "Indeed, he’s not very bright. A person like this, bringing him into my Tiger Sect would be too disgraceful."

Using his Tiger Head maneuvers against him, Hu Sanqian couldn’t fathom what kind of mind could come up with such a move.

Not to mention whether Chen Guan could learn Tiger Head maneuvers in a short time, even if he could learn it, it would just be superficial, how could it compare to his execution of Tiger Head?

The Tiger Head maneuver appears simple, but it conceals many strange variations and lethal blows. It’s not just about learning the techniques he demonstrates.

However, Hu Sanqian thought Chen Guan’s intelligence was questionable, so he didn’t plan to take Chen Guan in. He perfunctorily said, "Then you demonstrate the Tiger Head once, if it’s convincing enough, consider it passed."

Saying this, but thinking inside, "Doesn’t matter if it’s convincing or not, I’ll just say it is and make him leave, the Tiger Sect does not take fools."

Chen Guan, unaware of the old man’s thoughts, nodded, imitating Hu Sanqian’s stance, and then executed a Tiger Head maneuver.

Chen Guan was simply unskilled, not incapable of learning skills. He had decent combat talent, and although he only watched once, he was able to mimic the Tiger Head with seventy percent resemblance, with a certain flair, capturing much of the old man’s style, exuding a fierce aura like a tiger descending a mountain.

The old man initially planned to quickly dismiss Chen Guan, regardless of how well he mimicked the moves, to get rid of him.

But seeing Chen Guan execute the Tiger Head, Hu Sanqian was slightly surprised, thinking, "This kid may not think well, but his talent for learning is not bad, being able to mimic the aura and realm of the Tiger Head maneuver, it’s not bad after all."

Originally ready to send Chen Guan away with this one move, Hu Sanqian said righteously, "Not bad, you passed the first move, now watch me perform the second move."

Hu Sanqian said this, performing another Tiger-Tiger Wind Generating Fist move, shaking his head and legs with a very peculiar appearance.

But Chen Guan could see, this move went a step further than the Tiger Head, not only incorporating the head but also adding leg techniques.

This move made it difficult to defend both head and tail, blocking the top, they couldn’t guard against the strange swaying leg strike.

If they blocked below, they couldn’t handle the strong attack above.

"I call this move Tiger Head and Snake Tail, how will you counter it?" Hu Sanqian concluded the demonstration, smiling at Chen Guan, "Won’t you just fight fire with fire again? If you can mimic my Tiger Head and Snake Tail move, I’ll consider you passing."

Hu Sanqian was somewhat confident. This Tiger Head and Snake Tail move appears simple, but in reality, it’s not simple at all, especially that back-turning kicking move that can’t be performed without special leg technique training.

Compared to the fully open upper body, the leg is tricky, strange, and vicious, making it hard to defend against. Most people can’t kick from such an angle.

One wrong move, not to mention injuring someone, you might just twist your own leg.

Even if the body’s flexibility allows for the motion, balancing the vigorous upper body and cunning lower body is difficult, without hard training for three to five months, it’s hard to even mimic the action correctly.

Hearing Hu Sanqian say that just mimicking it would count as passing, Chen Guan didn’t waste too much thought and directly replicated Hu Sanqian’s Tiger Head and Snake Tail.

This leg might be strange, but compared to someone like Shang Ziyi who can use their whole body as a weapon, it wasn’t particularly difficult.

Chen Guan even managed to learn a bit of Shang Ziyi’s techniques, so this move posed little challenge to him.

After Chen Guan performed the Tiger Head and Snake Tail, Hu Sanqian was even more surprised: "This kid may not have a great mind, but his physical talent is indeed good, no wonder he’s on the Tiger List, should I consider bringing him into my Tiger Sect?"

"Not bad, consider you passed, now watch my final move, Tiger-Tiger Wind Generating Fist." Hu Sanqian executed the final killing move of the Tiger-Tiger Wind Generating Fist.

Tiger-Tiger Wind Generating Fist, also called Tiger Head Three Techniques, consists of just three moves, meant to finish the enemy in three strikes, if the enemy isn’t defeated in three moves, immediately turn and use the Fierce Tiger Returning to the Mountain Body Technique.

As soon as Tiger-Tiger Wind Generating Fist was executed, the force of the punch sounded like an explosive, seemingly able to shake mountains.

Chen Guan was also slightly surprised; the old man used no Primordial Energy, relying solely on physical and fist technique, yet could produce a sonic boom, indeed it seemed quite powerful.

This time, Chen Guan wasn’t fully confident, so he practiced a bit on his own first.

The motion of the Tiger-Tiger Wind Generating Fist wasn’t difficult, the challenge was how to use this set of motions to condense power and break the void, which couldn’t be learned merely by imitation.

It involved power-exerting techniques and bodily functions, both indispensable.

Chen Guan’s bodily functions, compared to others of the same level, were quite strong.

Because of the massive amount of Primordial Energy constantly nurturing his body, Chen Guan’s physical strength and recovery ability were actually stronger than peers of the same level.

Though Primordial Energy couldn’t determine physical strength and stamina, it had some benefits.

Chen Guan tried twice but couldn’t produce a sonic boom using only his physical body and technique.

"Why? This time, fighting fire with fire doesn’t work?" Hu Sanqian smiled at Chen Guan, the technique here was far superior to the previous two, otherwise, why would it be the killing move of the Tiger-Tiger Wind Generating Fist?

This move was an all-out strike, if it couldn’t wound the enemy, they would have to swiftly retreat, using the Fierce Tiger Returning to the Mountain technique.

"Alright." After a few attempts, Chen Guan executed the Tiger-Tiger Wind Generating Fist once more, finally using pure physical body technique, producing a sonic boom.

Hu Sanqian was momentarily stunned: "Shouldn’t be possible, although Tiger-Tiger Wind Generating Fist relies on technique, the physical body strength not reaching a certain level should prevent producing a sonic boom, generally requiring a body of Third Awakening level, this kid seems to only be at Second Awakening, yet he can do it, his body strength is quite good."

This made Hu Sanqian a bit hesitant, though his intelligence may be questionable, his learning ability and physicality were indeed impressive.

"In that case, I shall take my leave." Chen Guan turned to leave.

"Hold on, who said you could leave?" Hu Sanqian immediately called out to Chen Guan.

"Didn’t we agree, once I broke through your three techniques..."

"Yes, I did say, once you broke through these three techniques, compensation could be negotiated, but I never said there wouldn’t be compensation, right?" Hu Sanqian replied.

"So, elder, how much compensation would you like?" Chen Guan asked with a frown.

"How about this, I see you as promising, so I’ll take you as my last disciple and waive your compensation." Hu Sanqian stood with hands behind his back, exuding a demeanor of a master taking a disciple, expecting Chen Guan to kowtow and acknowledge him as a master.
