Martial Saint!

"Sea-Sweeping Body?"

"Exclusive Martial Arts?"

The students were shocked.

Exclusive Martial Arts were unique to each Martial Arts Academy and, in ancient times, they were often secrets passed down from master to disciple. In order to develop Martial Arts, most of the common martial arts from the old times have already been made public on the internet, or they are taught in schools.

The most typical example is "Black Tiger Fist."

To be considered exclusive, it must be a martial art created by a Martial Artist of the current era and have its own proprietary rights, protected by national law for life. However, most Martial Artists would donate their techniques to their alma mater before their time was up, so that their name would be remembered in history and their schools would bless their descendants.

This is why Top Martial Arts Universities have such deep foundations.

One reason is that they originate from renowned old schools and Martial Arts Families.

Another is that generation after generation, Martial Artists have donated their exclusive martial arts.

Lu Chenzhou thought that his master, Ji Xuantong, was really great.

There's a saying, "Teach the fist but not the step, teach the step and get beaten by your master."

Many Martial Arts Halls don't teach movement techniques, let alone exclusive ones.

Shi Ruyu said:

"Sea-Sweeping Body is a common martial art created by the Master. Although it's third-rate, it's most suitable for you and easy to pick up."

The crowd was overjoyed.

"Great, we're finally going to learn movement martial arts."

"I'm tired of Basic Boxing."

"I wonder if after reaching Perfection, we could scale walls and Water Float?"

The young people began to imagine.

Lu Chenzhou was also full of expectation.

On the official website of the Martial Arts Association, there were some third-rate movement martial arts such as Plum Blossom Steps, Eight Trigrams Step, and Water Crossing Step, which Lu Chenzhou hadn't learned.

Mainly because Black Tiger Fist itself includes some simple steps and movement techniques, which is sufficient. Of course, the most important reason was that he couldn't afford a teacher to guide him personally.

Shi Ruyu couldn't help but laugh:

"You're all dreaming too beautifully! Remember, movement martial arts are just auxiliary to martial arts in general. If your Qi-Blood rank isn't up to the mark, don't even think about Water Floating after achieving Perfection.

Moreover, Qi-Blood and Martial Art techniques complement each other. If your physical condition is not good enough, you won't be able to perfect your movement martial arts! The scenario where someone is good at Qinggong but lacks combat abilities that you see in novels does not happen in reality. Physical improvement is inevitably comprehensive. At this stage, Dragon and Tiger Heavenly Pile and Fist Technique are the most basic!

I keep getting asked why I don't teach the Soldier Attack Skill with cold weapons?

Well, I will tell you now, cold weapons are also handheld, an extension and enhancement of fist and palm techniques. Besides, with today's advanced technology, what cold weapon is more powerful than firearms? Beyond seven steps, guns are faster... Within seven steps, guns are both faster and more accurate!

If you were to become a Martial Artist, most cold weapons and firearms commonly used by ordinary people would be useless against you. Of course, these matters are too far away for you.

In short, prioritize Basic Skills! Don't get it backward!"

With Shi Ruyu's words, the students' agitated hearts settled.

Lu Chenzhou also felt that it made sense.

He watched the All Nations Martial Arts Competition, where the use of cold weapons wasn't prohibited, but top-level Martial Arts competitors rarely used them. A top combatant's physical body has already surpassed all alloy weapons that can be crafted with current human science and technology, so what need do they have for such weapons?

Of course, there are still many ordinary Martial Artists who use alloy cold weapons.

Swords and odd gate weapons abound.

Furthermore, there is a special category among cold weapons.

These are known as "Martial Arts Divine Weapons," also called "Inheriting Divine Weapons."

It is said that they were incredible weapons nurtured by the power of ancient Martial Artists, with strong individuals from families and sects passing them down and nurturing them through the long years, possessing powers beyond mortal understanding. However, these are no longer considered regular cold weapons.

Essentially, they are still the result of a Martial Artist's divine power.

Shi Ruyu began to demonstrate, and Lu Chenzhou watched intently.

"Sea-sweeping Body" cultivation is particularly demanding in three areas, the first is speed in the lower limbs, the second is stability in the waist, the third is agility in both arms. If you have seen documentaries, you should have seen sea swallows flying over the stormy sea..."

Shi Ruyu's feet alternately touched the ground as her body leapt up, fluctuating high and low over the shaky wooden pile area, which served as the training ground for movement techniques, far more complex than regular Plum Blossom Steps. Lu Chenzhou tried practicing his fist technique on them before and couldn't last long before falling off.

Shi Ruyu's long legs stood firmly on top as she spread her arms wide open.

Like a swallow perched on a wire, steady and firm.

"There are eighteen secret techniques in the Sea-sweeping Body, and I will now demonstrate them one by one. I need two people to attack me and see if you can touch me."

Shi Ruyu looked at the group, her gaze falling on the focused Lu Chenzhou.

Lu Chenzhou immediately said,

"I'll go."

"We're still one short."

Lu Chenzhou thought to call Qin Zheng, but the guy was shaking his head like a bobblehead.

"Don't, I am too unskilled."

Du stepped forward, saying,

"Sister, may I?"

"Come on."

The two men immediately employed their methods, striking at Shi Ruyu. Naturally, the result was that the two on the ground couldn't touch the Shi Ruyu, who was maneuvering on the swinging wooden piles without a single leaf sticking to her body. As Shi Ruyu dodged, she explained the essentials of the movement technique.

"The front foot leads and the rear foot follows, striving for a light and nimble advance and retreat, the difference in lateral and diagonal movements as if soaring, as light as a bird's wing lifting Qi upward, this is the Flying Step, the core step method of the Sea-sweeping Body! Shake your whole body like a fired cannon, fast strength bursts forth like a leaping fish, this is the Shock Step..."

The group watched Shi Ruyu.

In this scene, she resembled a sea swallow among the vast oceans. The seemingly fierce tidal wave attacks by Lu Chenzhou and Du were unable to get close to her.

Shi Ruyu soared on the pile for a full quarter of an hour.

Lu Chenzhou and Du were dripping with fine sweat. Seeing this, she leaped over them like a great Peng spreading its wings and gently touched down a few feet away, as gracefully as a cat landing on the ground.

"I have just demonstrated all the step and foot techniques of the Sea-sweeping Body. Next, I'll break them down and teach you one by one. Those who don't grasp it should ask questions as soon as possible. Don't pretend to understand when you don't, otherwise you're wasting everyone's time."

"Okay, Sister."

In another part of the Martial Arts Room.

Ji Xuantong watched Shi Ruyu's performance and nodded repeatedly.

"I've only taught her for a few months, and she's almost reached mastery. Not bad at all, she's a piece of uncut jade. If Lu Chenzhou can keep it up, there will be two of them!"

Suddenly, his phone rang.

On the other end was Ji Feiyan, his daughter.

[Dad, school is letting out for a few days; I'm coming home to stay for a couple of days.]

Ji Xuantong chuckled:

"Come on over, your mother misses you too."

[You don't?]

"…Yes, of course, you little brat."

[Great, I heard you took on a true inheritor; I'll meet her soon.]

"Yes, she has good comprehension. You can ask my teacher, Qingtian Cang, in a while to see if she can be specially recruited into the Dragon City Martial Arts University."

[No problem, though he's recently gone into a minor seclusion.]

"No rush. I also need to observe for a while."

[See you, Dad! Love you!]

On the training field.

Lu Chenzhou had begun trying the "Sea-sweeping Body." His foundation in this area was weak, and the movement-based martial arts were slightly harder than Black Tiger Fist, aiming to reach the beginner's level in a week.
