The Hooligan in Another World

Chapter 32 Tai-Chi Combat

“Even you are not his match?” Lin Feng was surprised.

“What happened? Don’t tell me you provoked him?” Bart asked nervously.

“I did not. But today, an unlucky bast*rd smashed a table in the canteen, and Mr. Hai asked for 400 gold taels as compensation. That unlucky kid refused and Mr. Hai caught him to do work in the canteen.” Lin Feng rubbed his nose.

“Haha, when he said 400 taels, that’s 400 taels. There’s no room for negotiation. Even if we were to go to the dean, we wouldn’t get a discount. Who is the unlucky bast*rd ?” Bart laughed.

“He’s my opponent this time, Wenhao Magnus,” said Lin Feng.

Bart started and said, “Did you set something up?”

“Nope. He was probably provoked by my presence but it has nothing to do with me.” Lin Feng helplessly replied.

“Alright, his family doesn’t lack that little bit of money. They will be redeeming him soon, so you should properly train. How is your Sky Piercer?” asked Bart.

“I’ve already grasped the skill. I’ll be practicing in the next two days.” Lin Feng nodded.

“Not bad, not bad. Today, I will teach you another combat skill, Hidden Dragon Combat” Bart said solemnly.

“Hidden Dragon Combat?” asked Lin Feng.

“Yeah, this is also my specialty. Originally, I was worried that you would not be able to master the Sky Piercer by now, but since you have already mastered it, the Hidden Dragon Combat should not be too difficult.” Bart said.

“Thank you.” Lin Feng bowed.

“Alright, if you beat up that brat, I will be happy.” Bart patted Lin Feng’s shoulder.

“Mm, take a good look. The Hidden Dragon Combat is actually the follow-up of the Sky Piercer.” After Bart finished saying that, he took off the spear on his back and displayed the Sky Piercer. The spear shrank back and circled twice. Then, the spear was surrounded by green light and fiercely attacked again. The gathered green light formed a blue dragon-shaped shockwave and charged forward.

“So powerful? Will I be able to use it when I compete with Wenhao Magnus?” Lin Feng asked with his mouth agape.

“Damn, of course. Don’t tell me you’re waiting for someone to beat you up?” Bart gave Lin Feng a backhand flick.

“In the academy, wouldn’t it be troublesome if anything happened to Wenhao Magnus?” Lin Feng asked in confusion.

“Sky Piercer and Hidden Dragon might be powerful, but in your hands, their power will be greatly reduced. Do you think Wenhao Magnus, who is at the peak of the Combat Soldier, is an idiot? How can he have no combat skills? If you can defeat him, the most you can do is heavily injure him. If you want to kill him, these two moves won’t be enough. Unless you go up and fire two more shots,” said Bart.

“I understand. I’ll practice now.” Lin Feng said.

“Alright, this is the route to use the Hidden Dragon, take it.” Bart handed Lin Feng a sheepskin scroll.

Lin Feng took it and sat on a large tree. He began to silently memorize it. At the same time, the Combat Qi within his body also began to circulate according to the Hidden Dragon’s route.

After a quarter of an hour, Lin Feng became familiar with it and returned the sheepskin to Bart. As he familiarized himself with the Hidden Dragon’s route of running the Combat Qi, he practiced the Hidden Dragon Combat.

But no matter how he practiced, he always felt that he was lacking something and couldn’t get it.

“Heh, do you feel like something is wrong?” Bart teased.

“Yes, I did it correctly. However, I keep getting the feeling that it is lacking something.” Lin Feng nodded.

“That’s more like it. The Hidden Dragon Combat is the next step of the Sky Piercer. You don’t need to use your Combat Qi, just use two of them in a row to test it out.” Bart used his spear to unleash the Sky Piercer, followed by Hidden Dragon.

Lin Feng shook the spear in his hand and thrust it forward. His left hand swung it and the spear flew out, leaving only his right hand holding the tail of the spear. With a jerk of his right hand, the spear contracted abruptly, spiraling twice before stabbing out again.

“Did you find anything?” The bar kept his spear and asked.

“Found it. So that’s how it is. No wonder something is amiss by using it alone,” said Lin Feng.

“You should know that when the spear turns around, it will be a defensive skill. It is used to prevent others from fighting off Sky Piercer and counterattacking,” Bart said.

After thinking it over, Lin Feng asked, “If we don’t have any weapons in our hands, can we use Combat Qi with our fists?”

“Of course, there are many martial skills that are for punching and kicking. However, I did not practice them, because, in War Tiger Academy, everyone can only learn two martial skills. I chose the Sky Piercer and the Hidden Dragon for my spear,” said Bart.

“That’s not what I meant. What I mean is that I won’t use a spear, I’ll use my shoulder to replace the spear body, and I’ll use my fist to replace the spear tip to execute the Sky Piercer, and the Hidden Dragon,” asked Lin Feng.

“Ah? Alright, that’s a good idea, why didn’t I think of it? We can try it out, I do not know if it’s actually feasible.” Bart said excitedly.

“Then I will find the time to practice it.” Lin Feng also said excitedly.

“Lin Feng, although you’ve learned a combat skill, you shouldn’t neglect the basics. Other than skills, the basics are also very important. For example, on the battlefield, no one can continuously use combat skills, and they will use the basics. If the combat skill is like tall buildings, then the basics are the foundation,” said Bart.

“I understand the importance of fundamentals.” Lin Feng nodded.

“In the past, there was a senior who even used a basic battle technique, and when combined together, its might wouldn’t be inferior to a Profound Rank battle technique. The pursuit of combat skills may cause one to forget the importance of basic skills which can be more powerful in the hands of higher-ranked experts.” Bart pondered for a moment before speaking.

“Are there any Combat God in the Celestial Kingdom?” asked Lin Feng.

“Yes, you don’t need to ask about that for now, just focus on cultivating. I’ll head back first.” Bart’s mood was rather low, and after saying that, he slung his spear over his back and left.

Lin Feng shook his head. Using the Soul Devourer Spear in his hand, he began to practice Sky Piercer and Hidden Dragon. After practicing for a while, Lin Feng sat on a tree and began to think. In his previous life, he envied novels. In this life, he could be a hero in movies, but in his previous life, he practiced Tai-Chi which could only strengthen his body. In this world, could he use the Combat Qi for Tai-Chi?

He stood up and silently thought about Tai-Chi of his previous life. Spreading out his arms, he took a stance. Then, with a raise of both arms, he started it. Slowly, he practiced a total of 21 moves included in a set of Tai-Chi. Lin Feng felt so refreshed.

After thinking for a while, he circulated the Combat Qi throughout his body and punched Tai-Chi again. Suddenly, the withered leaves whirled around his hands. After Lin Feng finished one set of Tai-Chi, the leaves fell in a perfect Tai-Chi diagram.

"Haha, Tai-Chi training in my previous life was not so simple in this world. Damn it, why didn’t I remember the Nine Yang Divine Art and Solo Nine Swords?” Lin Feng slapped his forehead.

“I don’t know how powerful and practical Tai-Chi is in actual battles. Who should I test? Bart?" Then he thought about it. "No, Bart badger me about it. Nalan Yunjie? Forget it.”

After thinking for a while, Lin Feng had an idea. He went back to the palace to find his aunt so that he could have a secret meeting with Consort Yun. After having an idea, Lin Feng trained for a while and then went back to wash up.
