Chapter 62: Eight Trigrams Shield Technique
" Xu Jingming smiled faintly. 。。As soon as Xu Jingming turned his head, he saw the concerned and worried eyes of his parents, wife, and other family members. They were still immersed in the joy of his...Liu Hai's team won the victory. 。"Beautiful!" "Well done!" The crowd cheered, Xu's mother and Li Miaomiao were also happy, Old Master Xu was beaming with joy, Wang Yi, Heng Fang, Yang Qingxue, and Liu Chongyuan all admired the elder. 。Only Xu Jingming himself… stared blankly at the scene before him. 。The father's twin shields shot out, his entire being erupting with vigor and spirit. His eyes blazed with fervor, and he seemed like a living, breathing tiger of immense power. 。With a single strike, the enemy was sent flying! Scenes flashed through Xu Jingming's mind. 。When I was young, my father taught me the Eight Extremes Tiger Pounce step by step. 。Father loved this move and practiced Tiger Pounce every morning and evening. He practiced for forty years, making it an integral part of his life. 。
"I understand" 。Xu Jingming muttered. 。
"Jingming, what's wrong" Li Miaomiao looked at Xu Jingming. 。I'm going to the martial arts field to practice for a bit, I'll call you before the competition starts. 。Xu Jingming said. 。"We are the eleventh match, and there are about five hours left. We have plenty of time." 。Li Miao Miao noticed her boyfriend's state and immediately said, 。Xu Jingming nodded and then disappeared from the stands. 。In his personal training ground, Xu Jing appeared here. 。Nowadays, very few people choose to stay in the training ground instead of watching the matches. 。"I love gunplay, every move and every style!I'm obsessed with the speed of gunplay. I practice poking my gun thousands of times every day. Remember when my poking speed reached 18 meters per second I was so excited to be on the national team that I couldn't sleep all night!" 。"Xu Jingming murmured, 'I even gave up the continuity of my marksmanship, pursuing the limit of speed.'" 。To this end, I studied anatomical diagrams, muscle and bone structures, and drew numerous illustrations of muscles and bones. 。From a physics perspective, I studied how to generate force within myself. I've never been this dedicated, not even for exams! Finally, I created the Shadowless Thrust! By giving up on the continuity of my gun technique and protection, I reached the limit speed with one thrust... 25 meters per second! At the World Martial Arts Tournament, as long as I find an opportunity to use the Shadowless Thrust, victory will be inevitable for me!"
"I love Baguazhang. Using the power generation techniques of the Eight Trigrams Iron Mountain Bump, I created a secret move called Break Mountain>>> 。Xujingming thought, “I’ve been practicing Bajizhu (Eight Extremities Thrust) footwork and the big spear since I was a child.” 。 。In the virtual world, what I practice most is gun shooting. 。"And what about the shield technique"Xu Jingming recalled the past, "That was purely a tool, something Master Liu Hai taught me. It allowed me to better control my physical strength, belonging to the Tai Chi practice." 。I practice shield techniques, indeed my control over full-body strength is becoming more refined... but from beginning to end, shield techniques are merely tools. 。"When did I ever love swordsmanship" "Perhaps...only when using the shield to unleash the Eight Extremities Tiger Pounce, right" 。Xu Jingming thought. 。Remembering the first time in a God-level battle, when I used the Eight Extremes Tiger Pounce with my shield technique to blast Sun Yuting away, my heart was filled with exhilaration and joy. 。Because this move is performed with deep emotion, a feeling that has been cultivated since childhood through years of practice in the Eight Extremes Tiger Pounce. 。Xu Jingming was thinking: "My father didn't practice shield techniques much in the past. It was only after entering the virtual world that he started practicing them." 。With double shields, I unleash the Eight Trigrams! Everything is going smoothly. 。"Actually, after retiring, I gradually integrated Baguazhang into my shield techniques as well. " 。"It's just in the virtual world, there's no continuation!"
"I also love Baguazhang..." 。"This is the first martial art I learned from a young age, Bajiquan. It encompasses elbows, shoulders, back, fists, and palms... all areas can be used with power." 。"Xu Jingming thought, 'The shield technique passed down by my master is very clever. It utilizes force and controls the enemy very well. I've only practiced a little bit and already reached 99% of the second-order level. But a skillful shield technique doesn't necessarily suit me..." 。No matter what kind of shield technique, I have to love it from the bottom of my heart. 。"Xu Jingming had a realization at this moment, 'If one's heart is not filled with love, how can the soul perfectly mobilize every part of the body'
'I want to practice shield techniques, the Eight Extremes Shield Technique!'
Xu Jingming's eyes burned with fervor, and then he clicked on the panel, setting up a sparring assistant. A metal dummy appeared before him: 'Set weight to 100 tons'>" 。The metal automaton, connected to a base, the base probably making up half its weight, is very stable and sits firmly on the ground. 。。
"Bang" 。The scarecrow trembled slightly, its base shifting back a little. 。Let's get your body moving.
Xu Jingming leaned his right shoulder against the shield and rammed several metal dummies. 。
He bumped the dummy a few times, leaning on his shield.
Following his instincts, Xu Jingming directly rammed into the dummy with his chest and back. He was enjoying himself immensely. 。He swayed like a bear, leaning against the mannequin here one moment and there the next. 。Every "bear hug" sent tremors through the 100-ton dummy, showing that Xu Jingming could exert his full strength throughout his entire body. 。"Weapons, are merely an extension of the body." 。First, the body must be able to exert force perfectly, and then the weapon can be wielded perfectly. 。Xu Jingming thought, tightening his muscles, it was the most basic part of a warrior's realm. 。Xu Jingming 'leaned' against the metal dummy hundreds of times before stopping. 。"Warm-up finished, actually Bear hug is quite comfortable" 。"Xu Jingming looked at the dummy in front of him, “Below is...Eight Pole Collapse!”
Father loved Eight Pole Tiger Pounce the most." 。Xujingming wasn't as obsessed as his father, he liked quite a few of the Eight Extremities techniques, such as "Eight Extremities Collapse". He loved it almost as much as the Eight Extremities Tiger Pounce. 。
"Bang" 。With a stomp and a surge of power, the ground trembled faintly. The shield in Xu Jingming's hands struck the dummy like a bolt of lightning. The dummy was sent backward by several dozen centimeters, carving a groove into the floor. 。Eight Extremities Collapse, like thunder bursting forth, with power unleashed faster and more abruptly. 。Xǔ Jǐngmíng practiced with joy, stomping his foot, and the shield crashed against the dummy with a resounding boom. The dummy shifted backward another dozen centimeters. 。Xu Jingming kept casting spells, every move was close-range, his shield clashed with the metal dummy each time, the impact force was quite terrifying. 。
Baji Beng is the most practiced technique in Bajiquan, while "Baji Tiger Pounce" is practiced by far fewer. 。The Baji Tiger's Pounce is the most ferocious, but that's 'pouncing', requiring distance! It needs to charge out two or three steps, allowing the body speed to reach its peak, carrying the whole body's momentum to erupt in a powerful pounce. 。Sometimes in a fight, there's no chance to even use your skills. 。Just like the first divine-level matchup, Xu Jingming also rushed out when Sun Yuting charged towards the archer, abruptly launching himself into a charge. 。
But the Eight Desolation Collapse is different, it doesn't need distance, even if you are close, you can still perform it. 。Xu Jingming's gun skills, particularly his collapse-sweep technique, originated from the Eight Extremities Collapse. 。
Practiced hundreds of repetitions of the Baguazhang collapse
"Eight Extremes, Splitting Mountain!" Xu Jingming changed his move again, holding up his twin shields and looking at the metal dummy in front of him. He suddenly raised his shields and charged forward >>> 。Whoa!
The raised right shield suddenly exerted force, the arm holding the shield like a great axe, slashing down!
“Heaven and Earth, as one! Splitting Mountain!” Xu Jingming remembered the eight extreme fist technique from his family’s books. Perhaps ancient people hadn't studied the body so deeply, and could only use imagery to guide... 。Xu Jingming's shield strike was aimed at the metal dummy with the edge of his shield. 。The edge of the shield was also extremely sharp, no less than a heavy weapon cleaving!
This swing naturally combined bodily strength. 。From a physics perspective, it's also a blow carrying 'gravitational potential energy'!
"Boom" 。The metal automaton's chest had been caved in, and it had shuddered back slightly. 。"Eight Extremes, Mountain Splitting Strike!" Xu Jingming continued his training, the edge of his shield descending like a great axe with each strike, cleaving against the metal dummy. 。As Xu Jingming practiced, a smile gradually appeared on his face. 。Just like when I was a child, happily practicing Baguazhang in front of the target posts. 。Back then, I practiced bear hugs, shoulder bumps, back pushes, elbow strikes... and also the five deadly moves of Baguazhang passed down by my father: Tiger Pounce, Collapse, Split Mountain, Heaven-Piercing Cannon, and Fierce Tiger Scaling the Mountain. 。While other children were busy with soccer classes or other fun activities, Xu Jingming was engrossed in practicing Baguazhang. He trained with delight. 。After mastering the Bajiquan, then practice stepping on feet, and finally the big gun. 。
Eight Diagram Pole is the style he has practiced for the longest time. 。were, found themselves unable to withstand the flames conjured by Xu Jingming's avatar. In an instant, their physical bodies and spiritual consciousnesses were consumed, leaving nothing behind except...
