Chapter 4: Mangniu Fist Technique

Hehe, Fang Lin stood up with a flick of his sleeve and strode to the center of the garden, turning to look at Fang Yun: "This move, the Charging Bull, was actually something I developed during my previous training. In the army, there is no such method of exerting force. Little brother, you need to observe carefully; this move requires muscle coordination when executed"

Hmm, big brother, you arrived just in time. That move of yours, the Rampaging Bull Charge, I simply cannot execute such a punch intent.

Fang Yun gritted his teeth, recalling the Confucian sage's famous saying that when heaven is about to bestow a great responsibility upon a person, it must first temper their will, labor their muscles and bones, starve their body, and expose them to hardship, thereby enhancing what they cannot achieve. With this in mind, he gritted his teeth and persevered once more

"This is not right. This move, the Rampaging Bull Charge, lacks the essence that my elder brother embodies. There must be something wrong." Fang Yun finally stopped, lowered his head, furrowed his brows in contemplation, his mind filled with the boxing style of the Rampaging Bull.

In the Sifang Marquisate, within the Zilong Garden, a tall and robust figure moved gracefully like a dragon, coiling and leaping as if flying. While demonstrating his techniques, he also provided explanations.

A trace of vitality entered his body, and gradually, Fang Yun began to feel a different sensation. It seemed as though his body had become sturdier, and his punches were more powerful. This was a very subtle feeling; if one were to articulate it, Fang Yun's strength might not have truly increased by much.

The universe is filled with boundless and powerful vital energy, which we cannot see, yet it truly exists. The first step in martial arts cultivation is to attract the formless and omnipresent magnificent vital energy from the universe into the body, refining the physical form and establishing a solid foundation for martial arts. Only when the physical body is strong can it accommodate greater power

With a determined mindset, Fang Yun focused all his thoughts on the techniques of the Mang Niu Fist, completely disregarding the soreness in his body. As a result, the feeling of exhaustion was indeed not as intense.

Fang Yun's robe fluttered as he struck the air with a punch, producing a series of loud bangs, as if he were hitting a solid object. This phenomenon is only achievable when one has cultivated their martial arts to a certain level

Fang Yunxin knows that her elder brother, Fang Lin, possesses extraordinary talent. In her previous life, he had already proven his exceptional abilities through his strength. Having such an elder brother who leads by example is more relevant than any renowned teacher.

Call! Call!

The wild bull emerges from its den! Fang Yun imagines himself transformed into a wild bull in the wilderness, stepping out of its cave in the early morning.

Fang Lin's eyes revealed a hint of admiration; his martial arts realm was significantly higher than Fang Yun's, allowing him to discern Fang Yun's strengths and weaknesses at a glance. Given Fang Yun's level of power, being able to express such a fist intent was indeed quite rare. As biological brothers, seeing Fang Yun possess such insight genuinely made Fang Lin happy for his younger brother

The first stance of the Wild Bull Power: The Wild Bull Emerges from the Cave

Not long after Fang Lin departed, the sound of the swishing fist wind echoed once again in Zilong Garden

"Practice martial arts, practice martial arts! My father once said that in the path of martial arts, what matters most is will and belief, while talent is secondary. If I want to possess great strength to change my destiny, then if I cannot endure this little pain, what qualifications do I have to foolishly dream of changing my fate?"

Bang

The wild bull charged! Fang Lin exhaled and simultaneously struck out with both fists, the force akin to a thunderclap, swift as lightning. The air around Fang Lin surged violently, the airflow swirling like two great snakes entwining and shifting around his powerful arms

The path of martial arts emphasizes the importance of refinement; with each trial faced, one's martial arts skills inevitably advance to a higher level. A martial arts master must first and foremost be a person of unwavering willpower. Fang Yun hails from a family of martial artists, and these martial proverbs are already well-known to him.

Young brother, the amount of natural energy you have absorbed is limited, and your strength is insufficient. However, you have already grasped the essence of the martial arts, which is the intent of the fist. While strength can be accumulated over time, the understanding of fist intent can only be comprehended with the heart; mere repetitive practice is of no use

The Fourth Style of Reckless Bull Confrontation

Fang Lin nodded to himself, observing for a while longer. Not wanting to disturb Fang Yun, he quietly exited the Zilong Garden. At the same time, he issued orders to the Hou residence, instructing all servants and maids to take a detour and not to disturb Fang Yun in the garden

A rumbling sound came from his stomach, and after a whole day had passed, Fang Yun finally felt the hunger that had been described in the books. He concentrated all his thoughts on his boxing techniques and martial arts, forgetting not only the fatigue and soreness in his body but also the hunger itself.

Wild Bull with Divided Mane

Fang Lin smiled inwardly, walked over lightly, picked up the chopsticks on the table, and quietly left

These must be the primordial energies of heaven and earth! Fang Yun, having lived two lives, has gained a new understanding of martial arts. In his 'previous life,' he was indifferent to the advancement of martial arts and practiced with a lackadaisical attitude. Now, as he resumes his martial journey, he finally perceives some aspects that he had previously overlooked.

He lost track of time and surprisingly practiced martial arts for an entire day in this Zilong Garden

"Younger brother, you have been practicing martial arts all day; you must be hungry. A person is like iron, and food is like steel. Although martial arts are important, without physical strength, one cannot continue practicing," Fang Lin said with a smile, his gaze filled with affection. In the侯府, the one he was most concerned about was this younger brother. With their father stationed in the wilderness for many years, and as the saying goes, an elder brother is like a father, only he could protect his brother in this capital city.

Fang Lin, drawing from his own cultivation, elaborately explained his martial arts experiences to Fang Yun: "The fastest method to cultivate in the Vitality Realm is through boxing. Move your body with the momentum while simultaneously controlling your breath, allowing the vitality of heaven and earth to gradually permeate your body. This set of 'Brawny Bull Technique' is the most fundamental martial art in the military. Although it is not particularly sophisticated, it is extremely practical. It is most effective for attracting the vitality of heaven and earth into the body." This set of 'Brawny Bull Technique' is the most fundamental martial art in the military. Although it is not particularly sophisticated, it is extremely practical. It is most effective for attracting the vitality of heaven and earth into the body.

Fang Yun observed carefully. Usually lazy, his martial arts seemed superficial, but now, with a focused mind, he gained a new understanding. Fang Lin taught with great dedication, repeatedly reminding and practicing certain subtle aspects, which allowed Fang Yun to attain further insights.

Your mother knows that you haven't eaten all day and is worried that you might be hungry, so she has been keeping the food warm for you. Please eat quickly

"An entire day?" Fang Yun was taken aback, looking up for a moment, only to realize that the sky was dark and gloomy, with no stars or moon in sight

Wild Bull Swings Its Tail

Hmm. Fang Yun stepped out of the pavilion and stood beside Fang Lin. Recalling the movements of Fang Lin's recent boxing practice in his mind, Fang Yun took a deep breath and slowly unfolded a set of Wild Bull Fist.

In Zilong Garden, two gnarled plum trees, each as thick as a bowl, were struck by a wild bull, causing the entire trunk to shatter with a loud crash, scattering countless wood chips in all directions. Above the wood chips, a flurry of pink plum blossoms danced through the air.

Fang Lin stood with composure, his face neither flushed nor breathless, demonstrating his formidable martial arts cultivation

Fang Yun executed two consecutive moves of the Reckless Bull Fist technique, completely forgetting about Zilong Garden, the pavilion, and his brother watching from the side

When martial arts are practiced to a profound level, and the will is strong enough, one can control every muscle in the body. The vibration of the muscles stirs the air, thereby creating various forms of attack techniques

The path of martial arts is a gradual process, and the increase of physical vitality is not so easily achieved; it can only be honed over time

The wild bull runs across the vast wilderness! Fang Yun imagines himself transformed into a wild bull, galloping across the expansive grasslands, experiencing a sense of ethereal freedom in his soul

Bang

The reckless bull charged! Fang Yun's double fists stirred up a fierce wind, the sound of the wind crackling like a whip.

The entire night, Fang Yun did not rest, and only fell into a deep sleep at dawn

"I didn't expect a day to pass so quickly; I'm quite hungry now," Fang Yun said with a shy smile as she walked over to Fang Lin.

"Younger brother, pay attention. This set of martial arts is extremely powerful when practiced to its depths." As Fang Lin practiced the final moves of the Mighty Bull Eighteen Stances, he suddenly crouched down and then sprang up with great force.

Madam Huayang prepared a sumptuous meal for Fang Yun, including delicately simmered chicken soup, finely cooked fish and meat, a small plate of steamed buns, and several portions of side dishes. Fang Yun sat by the chair, eating the food prepared by his mother in the slightly cool night, feeling a warmth in his heart

Fang Yun's fists struck out, and two bursts of air exploded from beneath his fists, producing a deafening sound

My younger brother's talent is truly remarkable, having reached a state of self-forgetfulness so quickly. Perhaps this incident is a blessing in disguise; with this duel ahead, my younger brother will surely dedicate himself more earnestly to martial arts in the future. With his aptitude, he is bound to shine brightly in the military. In the Great Zhou army, with my father and I, we will no longer need to worry about those fellows from the Ping Ding Marquis' faction.

In order to allow Fang Yun to see clearly, Fang Lin deliberately dispersed his entire aura, practicing this set of military boxing techniques solely with the strength of his physical body. His physical strength was also exceptionally high; although he had dispelled his aura, each move he executed still generated a powerful wind from his fists, accompanied by the sound of bellowing cattle.

Fang Yun stepped forward, simultaneously executing the third form of the Running Bull Fist, the Wild Bull Divides Its Mane. A complete set of Wild Bull Fist flowed from his hands like a stream of clouds and water, exceptionally smooth and unimpeded. As the third punch was delivered, the air around Fang Yun surged, his clothing billowed, and a barely perceptible stream of air gradually entered his body through the pores.

This technique, the Charging Bull, when practiced by an ordinary person, results in nothing more than a wind of punches, resonant like a bull's roar. To achieve the form of two bulls, there is a significant requirement for physical strength, along with some subtle finesse. With your current strength, you have not yet met the requirements. In a moment, I will share the key insights with you; once your strength has increased, practicing it will naturally come easily. Now, younger brother, please demonstrate it once, and I will see how well you have learned.

In the early morning, a chill lingers in the air

Moo!

Fifth Style: The Rampaging Bull Roars

"Younger brother, I just saw you frowning in deep thought. Have you encountered a difficult problem?" After Fang Yun finished eating and put down his chopsticks, Fang Lin asked.

"Younger brother, take a break!" A loud voice rang out. From under the pavilion, a young man in a blue outfit emerged; he was none other than Fang Yun's elder brother. He held a purple sandalwood lunchbox in his hand and strode over.

... ...

Fang Yun's eyes revealed a look of shock; he had practiced the Bull Fist several times, but he never imagined it could possess such power. Fang Yun could see clearly that his elder brother, Fang Lin, did not use the vital energy in his body. The two waves of Bull Force he unleashed were entirely reliant on his physical strength, stirring the air and forming a bull shape through skillful technique

Fang Lin spoke as he executed the final move of the Mang Niu Fist, the Mang Niu Charge, with extremely slow movements. His muscles trembled one by one, as if they were alive; each muscle's quiver could stir up a gust of wind, accompanied by the explosive sound of air bursting, which was truly startling

In the Purple Dragon Garden, there are many tables and chairs for resting. Fang Lin placed the food box on the table, and the two brothers sat facing each other

The second form of the Wild Bull Power: Wild Bull Charges into the Wilderness

If my esteemed father were to know how diligently I practice my skills, he would surely be very pleased. Fang Lin recalled his father, the Marquis Fang Yin, in the desolate and impoverished wilderness, a place of harsh conditions. It has been many years since his father last returned to the capital.

Bang

Mighty Bull Iron Treads

Goo goo

Fang Yun practiced the boxing technique over and over again, having lost track of how long he had been training. His forehead was already covered in beads of sweat, and his back was thoroughly soaked, yet Fang Yun remained oblivious to it all

Human physical strength is ultimately limited. Fang Yun felt exhausted several times, on the verge of collapsing to the ground, but he gritted his teeth and persevered through it.

In the nearby pavilion, Fang Yun was squatting on the steps. He listened attentively to Fang Lin's earnest words. He watched Fang Lin's demonstration almost without blinking, absorbing every word he spoke.

With a thunderous bellow of the bull, Fang Lin's two arms stirred the air, suddenly coalescing into two vividly lifelike azure bulls. The muscles of the bulls were taut and bulging, brimming with explosive power. After a long roar, the bulls' eyes widened in fury, and with a simultaneous movement of their four hooves, they shot forth like arrows, propelled by a fierce wind

Fang Yun gazed ahead, completely unaware of when Fang Lin finished his martial arts practice. He appeared lost in thought, with only the image of Fang Lin executing the "Bison Charge" in his mind.

Although one has reached the realm of Gangqi, significantly enhancing the physical body, the ordinary brute strength in the army can produce such devastating effects. This remarkable talent is evident.

The sound of the void crackled; the same technique, when executed again by Fang Yun after being taught and guided by his elder brother Fang Linyan, felt entirely different. His two arms moved with the agility of serpents, their trajectories flexible and exceedingly difficult to defend against

Bang bang

Fang Yunquan moves like the wind, his feet shifting and changing with agility. Within the essence of his boxing, there is a wildness and freedom akin to that of a bull. He has completely immersed himself in this foundational boxing technique of the Great Zhou army, quietly contemplating the vital energy of the universe.

While Fang Yun was eating, Fang Lin watched from the side, silently smiling. Seeing Fang Yun practice so diligently, he felt quite gratified in his heart
