Chapter 8, Diamond Fist

Shi Lan replied with a bow once more, preparing to take his leave

Young Master, I thought you had already left. This is the medicinal dish that the Mistress instructed the kitchen to prepare, and I have been sent to deliver it to you

Eldest son, are you there

It is an indisputable fact that women are inherently weaker in physical ability and strength compared to men. For martial arts styles such as the Iron Fist, which are characterized by their vigorous and unmatched power, women often need to expend several times more energy than men to achieve the same results

Shilan could tell that Zique had some feelings for her, which was understandable. However, she was now in a situation where her heart was willing but her strength was lacking, so it would be better to put an end to Zique's thoughts as soon as possible

Shi Feng stood by the bedside, staring at Shi Lan for a long time, before finally stepping out of the room. He secured the door tightly and reinforced the lock with his true energy

This book on martial arts was written by a Zen master, containing a glimpse of the true essence of martial arts, which can assist in training and yield twice the result with half the effort. Seeing the astonishment on Shi Lan's face, Su Lanyue explained

Shi Lan took the brocade box and opened it

Inside the brocade box lies a small booklet with a gray cover bound in thread

Congratulations to the host for obtaining "Diamond Fist". Current proficiency: Beginner level not yet reached

The advantages and disadvantages depend entirely on individual understanding

Shi Lan gasped in shock, her face turning from red to pale in an instant due to the exertion from practicing martial arts, as she clutched her abdomen and curled up into a ball

What is the situation

The shadow lurking deep within Shilan's mind could not help but clutch at her lower abdomen, feeling that this pain was even worse than being stabbed with a knife

In the end, Shi Lan was unable to complete a full set of martial arts moves and collapsed to the ground, exhausted

Listening to the system's prompt sound, Shi Lan was somewhat astonished and came back to her senses

Shifeng anxiously picked up Shilan and walked to the door, kicking it open with one foot

However, from another perspective, this type of martial art is one of the very few practices that can level the innate differences between men and women even at the body tempering stage

Eldest son? Eldest son!

Shi Lan lay on the ground, unable to stop gasping for breath, the soreness in his muscles had not yet subsided, when a sudden and more intense pain surged in his lower abdomen

In the moment of losing consciousness, Shi Lan saw a pair of thick-soled blue cloth boots fall in front of her

"This book on martial arts must be carefully preserved and must not be lost," Su Lanyue advised

Recalling the scene before losing consciousness, Shi Lan's expression changed dramatically. She sat up and conducted a thorough check, and only after confirming that there were no signs of her clothing being tampered with did she let out a sigh of relief. Exposing her identity was no trivial matter

Hiss ... ...

After examining the pulse of Shi Lan, Shi Feng helped her sit up, channeling strands of true energy into her body, beginning to promote her circulation and invigorate her blood flow.

She was just rescued by someone? Who was it? Before Shilan could think much, there was another knock at the door.

Watching Shi Lan's departing figure, Su Lan Yue slowly furrowed her brows. How could Shi Lan suddenly take an interest in martial arts?

Shilan took out the booklet and opened the first page

Shi Lan gathered her thoughts, got out of bed, and after taking just two steps, she suddenly realized that her condition was unprecedentedly good. The severe pain in her lower abdomen and the soreness in her muscles had completely vanished.

Upon seeing this statue of the Vajra, a figure appeared in Shilan's mind, beginning to execute a series of martial arts techniques.

After practicing less than half a set of the Diamond Fist, Shi Lan's body appeared as if she had just been pulled out of water, drenched in sweat, with her muscles trembling slightly, and a wave-like soreness enveloped her entire body

The Diamond Fist places an excessive burden on the physical body. Shi Luan had no prior martial arts foundation, and being able to complete more than half of the set is already a testament to her extraordinary willpower

The child has remembered

After placing Shi Lan flat on the bed, and seeing her clothes soaked through, Shi Feng hesitated for a moment. A surge of profound true energy flowed from within him, and in just a few blinks, the moisture was evaporated.

She took out the booklet and flipped through it from beginning to end, reinforcing her memory. After that, Shi Lan went to the courtyard and took her first step into the martial arts.

Moreover, even the strength has increased significantly

Shilan opened the door, and standing at the entrance was Zique, holding a food box in her hand

Shi Lan placed the booklet back into the brocade box, stood up, and performed a bow

Amidst a chorus of calls, Shi Lan slowly opened his eyes

Diamond Fist

The words of the purple sparrow were stuck in its belly, leaving it no choice but to depart helplessly

The effort required in this regard is sufficient to deter the vast majority of women.

After hesitating for a moment, Su Lanyue did not further analyze the merits and demerits of this martial art for Shi Lan. It is uncertain how long Shi Lan's enthusiasm for learning martial arts will last; perhaps he will give up in just a couple of days. It is better not to discuss these matters.

Studying martial arts is not like usual; it is extremely taxing on one's vital energy and essence. Later, I will have someone send some nourishing medicinal dishes for you, so remember to eat them. If you have any questions regarding your cultivation, feel free to ask me.

... ...

The purple sparrow was momentarily taken aback, then nodded in agreement

It is not uncommon to find body refining techniques suitable for women; rather than expending so much effort, it would be better to seek another method, as most people prefer to take shortcuts.

Su Lan Yue also reminded him of some details, and then got up to see Shi Lan out of the courtyard

Shilan returned to her residence holding the brocade box, and she already had a general impression of the techniques of the Diamond Fist in her mind.

Shifeng felt quite uncomfortable in his heart; he had been away for just over half a month, yet what exactly had happened during this time? Shilan, who had never been fond of martial arts, had actually begun to practice it, and what was more, he was training in such a rigid style of boxing.

Shifeng stood quietly in a corner of the rooftop. When he saw Shilan collapse from exhaustion, he instinctively wanted to go over and help Shilan up, but for various reasons, he suppressed this thought.

On the first page, there is a depiction of a Zen Buddhist Vajra, clad in thick armor, holding a ritual implement, with raised eyebrows and round eyes, exuding an imposing demeanor

Shilan took the food box with one hand and waved his hand, saying, "I understand, you can go back first"

From today onwards, keep an eye on the movements of the eldest son for me. If he is to leave the residence, you shall follow him. If there is nothing of importance, do not disturb him. Do you understand

After a brief contemplation, Su Lan Yue summoned the Purple Sparrow

According to the memories in his mind, Shi Lan slowly assumed a stance and began to practice each move and technique, as the powerful and vigorous boxing style gradually unfolded.

Thank you, Mother

... ...

The martial arts are simple and direct, with swift techniques that are fierce and resolute

The excruciating pain intensified, and Shi Lan felt somewhat oxygen-deprived, to the point where her consciousness began to blur.

Seeing the color return to Shi Lan's face, Shi Feng finally let out a slight sigh of relief. He gently brushed off the dirt and dust from her body, helped her remove her boots, and then supported her to lie down comfortably, covering her with the blanket.

This is a form of martial arts in Zen Buddhism, known as "Vajra Divine Fist." It is a top-tier method for tempering the physical body within the realm of body refinement. However, this martial art is characterized by fierce power and heavy strikes, making it less suitable for women to practice

Su Lan was about to speak but hesitated. The reason why "Diamond Fist" is not particularly suitable for women to practice is twofold: first, this martial art has not been widely disseminated in the world, and she only obtained it by chance; second, very few women are willing to practice it
