Chapter 20

“That kind, we don’t even dare to imagine. The existence of someone like that among all of humanity is as rare as a phoenix feather or a unicorn’s horn!”

The students were all talking at once. Most of the students in the class were only at the fourth or fifth level, some even at the third. Only a few had reached above the sixth level.

However, even though they weren’t at the sixth level yet, they were sure they would reach it in the future. Learning it now wouldn’t hurt.

“Watch closely!” Eric Bennett shouted, clenching his fist with five fingers, then punched out directly. “Channel your energy throughout your body, mobilize all your muscles—the first move: Fierce Tiger Descends the Mountain!”

With this punch, his entire aura changed, as if he had really become a fierce tiger. As he threw the punch, it even caused a burst of air to explode.

“Second move, Tiger’s Roar Shakes the World!”

“Third move, Fierce Tiger Shakes Its Head!”

“Fourth move, Fierce Tiger Strikes the Heart!”

“Next is the final move, which none of you can learn yet. You need to open up your Qi Sea and reach the Qi Sea Realm to master it—the King of the Forest!”

Eric Bennett performed a series of moves, dazzling everyone. His left and right hands struck out continuously, and it vaguely seemed as if a real fierce tiger was descending the mountain, hunting all living things.

Brian Carter could even feel a blast of force sweep across his face, making his cheeks sting painfully.

He thought to himself, martial techniques are truly powerful. With a good technique, you can exert not just your full strength, but even double or more. The stronger the technique, the greater the boost.

In his mind, he had the memories of the Pill Emperor, which included some very powerful martial techniques. Especially in the “Huangji Battle Canon,” there were many terrifyingly powerful techniques recorded. But all of them had a prerequisite: he had to reach the corresponding level of strength to use them.

Especially those powerful techniques—they consumed a lot of vital energy. Even if he forced himself to use them, he would instantly be drained and die like a dried corpse.

So for now, the most suitable for him was a martial art like Tiger Demon Fist.

Brian Carter felt that he had entered a mysterious state. His eyes were fixed on Eric Bennett’s figure, and those movements seemed to be recorded by a camera, replaying over and over in his mind.

With each replay, he felt he learned a bit more. By the third demonstration from Eric Bennett, he found that he could already grasp the basics of the Tiger Demon Fist.

But he only kept this to himself and didn’t say it out loud.

“My demonstration ends here. After class, I’ll send a video of the Tiger Demon Fist training to your emails. You can all practice in private, but don’t overdo it—it’s very exhausting!” Eric Bennett said. “Now, I’m going to pick one of you to demonstrate. Has anyone already mastered it?”

“Teacher, I’ve already mastered it!”

At this moment, David Morgan raised his hand and stood up, looking proud.

“Alright, give it a try!” Eric Bennett nodded.

David Morgan took his stance, then shouted, “Fierce Tiger Descends the Mountain!”

“Tiger’s Roar Shakes the World!”

“Fierce Tiger Shakes Its Head!”

“Fierce Tiger Strikes the Heart!”

David Morgan demonstrated four moves in total, but did not perform the final move, King of the Forest, because that move puts too much strain on the body and requires the Qi Sea Realm. Although David Morgan was already at the ninth level of the Flesh Body Realm, just one step away from the Qi Sea Realm, he still hadn’t reached it.

His movements were smooth and powerful, extremely fluid.

“Not bad, not bad. You must have had a private tutor teach you this Tiger Demon Fist before!” Eric Bennett said.

The other students were unfazed. That’s just how unfair modern society is—while ordinary people might only now have the chance to learn such martial techniques, David Morgan probably started practicing long ago.

“Yes, my private martial arts coach told me that among the widely spread martial techniques, Tiger Demon Fist is the most powerful. But it also puts a heavy burden on the body, so ordinary people can’t train in it. But I’m different—I’m a genius. Tiger Demon Fist suits me best!” David Morgan said proudly.

“Your private coach is quite skilled. Tiger Demon Fist is indeed the most powerful among the basic martial techniques. It’s hard for most people to learn, but it has the best cost-performance ratio. Even at the Qi Sea Realm, it’s still very powerful!” Eric Bennett explained why he taught Tiger Demon Fist.

“You must have been learning for several months already, and you’ve reached the stage of true mastery. Your comprehension is pretty good!” Eric Bennett looked at David Morgan, then at the others, and said, “Here, let me take this opportunity to explain the different stages of martial technique training. At the very beginning, when you’ve just started learning and can perform a complete set of moves, that’s called ‘knowing the basics.’ When you can perform the whole set smoothly in one go and freely combine the moves, that’s called ‘true mastery.’ At this stage, you can be considered to have achieved proficiency in this martial technique!”
