Chapter 183 Lose Weight to Advance?
Fang Qiu got in the ring in a round of applause. Before the host could say anything, a bust of footsteps came.
“Patter, patter…”
The footsteps were heavy.
Following the sound.
A big fellow ran in the ring, panting heavily. He took his stand in front of Fang Qiu and saluted with his hands together in front of his face. “I’m the first one. Senior, please grant your instructions.”
Fang Qiu was shocked.
The crowd outside the ring was also shocked.
Even Elder Yi appeared confused.
This fat guy had no patience at all.
He ran in the ring before the host could go up to announce the rules.
Over there.
Right outside the ring, the host stopped, unsure if he should go in or not. He looked at Elder Yi helplessly.
Seeing the host’s confused look, Elder Yi raised his brows and shook his head with a smile.
The host backed out.
In the ring.
Fang Qiu also saw it. Since the host had left and Elder Yi seemed to have approved this fat guy’s behavior, he had nothing to worry about.
“Please.”
He greeted the fat man with his hands folded in front of his face.
“Please!”
The fat man could wait no longer.
As Fang Qiu’s word faded, the fat man moved his leg and launched his attack swiftly.
“Hmm?”
Fang Qiu’s eyes brightened.
This fat man weighed at least 150 kg.
Normally, a fat man like this would be moving very slow. However, this fat fellow was actually very agile.
“What a set of steps!
Fang Qiu gave a secret compliment. This set of steps lightened his body significantly.
“I wonder how fast his strikes can be.”
He muttered to himself.
Fang Qiu confronted the fat man’s offense.
In a split second,
Their fists and feet b.u.mped.
“Bam, bam, bam…”
Both of them launched a series of fierce attacks without making any defensive move.
After a few bouts,
“Hmm?”
Fang Qiu felt amazed.
To his surprise, this fat man was very agile and very strong.
Of course.
During this time, Fang Qiu had been watching the fat guy’s moves and steps as well as his combat techniques.
For a while,
The two seemed to be almost equally capable.
Seeing this,
The onlookers outside the ring were not pleased.
Especially those who hadn’t attended the last meetup began to develop unspoken criticism inside.
“Is this masked man really that capable? He looks just alright.”
“These people has praised this man like a G.o.d. I think he’s just so-so.”
“He can barely handle a fat martial arts pract.i.tioner and he calls himself a senior master?”
“If he’s really that good, why not knock out this fat man wih one punch?”
“G.o.d d.a.m.n it. Are we fooled?”
“This is the master?”
Those who saw Fang Qiu for the first time all stared at him in the ring, feeling awful but didn’t want to say anything to offend Elder Yi.
Even those who had come to the last practice meetup felt blue.
“This is only the first round. What’s going on?”
“This Senior John Doe isn’t at his best today. His strikes are so soft”
“Not good. Not good.”
“This is disappointing.”
The audience discussed..
In the ring,
They both took one step back after a intense round of confrontation.
The fatty clenched his fist and moved swiftly on his tiptoes. He charged immediately, throwing a heavy punch towards Fang Qiu’s face.”
Over here.
Fang Qiu didn’t move.
He reached his right arm out as the fatty got closer.
He grabbed the fat guy’s fist.
The fatty attempted to break free to launch another attack.
But he found his fist locked in his pale as if a piece of metal being held firmly by a magnet. He tried really hard but was unable to pull it out.
“Okay.”
Then, Fang Qiu opened his mouth.
The fat man was stunned.
As were the onlookers outside the ring.
What is okay?
They have just fought for a few bouts. It doesn’t look very exciting but the fatty paid for this opportunity. And this is over?
The crowd was confused.
The fat man seemed a bit annoyed as well.
He instantly moved his feet and exerted a strong stream of force from within his body. He lowered his left shoulder and directly rammed towards Fang Qiu’s chest.
“I said it’s over.”
As the fat man approached, Fang Qiu spoke again.
at the same time.
In his chest, the internal force broke out.
Right before the fat man hit him, his internal Qi shot out and pushed the fatty’s huge body back far.
All the way to the edge of the ring.
The fat man managed to stablize his body, saving himself from falling off the ring.
He was horrified.
“Holy c.r.a.p! This strong?”
The fat man was dumbfounded.
He also thought Fang Qiu was only a vase, full of tricks. Fang Qiu’s power revealed today shocked him deeply.
Even a martial superior rank 1 fighter wouldn’t dare to tak his last strike like that.
But Fang Qiu didn’t move at all. He shocked him away simply with his internal force.
This strength,
Is indeed terrifying.
Outside the ring
The audience’s eyes brightened.
Fang Qiu didn’t really well in the last bout.
He repulsed the opponent while standing firm like a mountain. And the rival was a very fat man with at least 150 kg. Let alone his great impacting force.
“This masked man does have some skills.”
“That was good. He’s at least at the Martial Superior rank 1 level to be able to shock the opponent away.”
“Now he looks like a master.”
The audience remarked in silent.
In the ring.
Fang Qiu stood with his hands folded behind his back, looking at the fat man standing at the edge of the ring, and said, “Through the few bouts earlier, I’ve learnt your goal.”
That being said.
Fang Qiu actually secretly learned a lot of things from this fatty.
“You know it?”
The fatty was shocked. He stroked the back of his head and laughed, “I’d love to advance to the Martial Superior level. Senior, I’m here seeking your help on how to improve myself.”
“To be honest, I’ve been stuck here for two years.”
Fang Qiu gently nodded.
“You have indeed reached the pinnacle of the martial arts pract.i.tioner level.”
“It’s hard to improve the internal force or your combat skills.”
At this point, Fang Qiu paused.
Over there.
The fat man’s face changed. He asked hurriedly, “What shall I do?”
Hearing his question,
The audience held their breath, waiting for Fang Qiu’s answer.
They wanted to see what this mysterious master could say and if he would help another martial artist reach the Martial Superior Rank 1.
“Would you like to break through with external or internal force?”
Asked Fang Qiu.
The fatty stroke his head again and asked, “What’s the difference?”
“Of course it’s different.”
Fang Qiu felt speechless. “To break through with external force, you need to get some heaven material or earth treasure. To do it with internal force, you must rely on yourself.”
Hearng that.
The fat man looked speechless.
Why would I come to you if I could find some heaven material or earth treasure?
He answered immediately, “I want to break through with my internal force.”
“Simple.”
Fang Qiu replied frankly, “Lower your body weight to 90 kg and you’ll advance.”
Everyone was listening.
Everyone was stunned.
Losing weight would help him improve his strength?
No way!
“Senior, I know I’m fat. Everyone can see it. Please don’t poke fun of it.”
The fat man said.
“Do I look like I’m joking?”
Fang Qiu shook his head and continued, “Actually you could have advanced a long time ago but all this fat has been pulling your leg. To reach the Martial Superior realm, one must sense the natural energy between heaven and earth and develop internal Qi with the energy within the body.”
“The most important thing is to sense.”
“Your fat is your burden. You are unable to reach complete peace so you can’t sense it. Of course you can’t advance.”
“You can do it once your weight is lowered to 90 kg.”
Hearng that.
The fatty rolled his eyes, feeling hard to believe it. He asked with some joy, “Senior, you are being serious?”
“Do as I said. Come back if you are still unable to break through.”
Fang Qiu nodded.
“Hahah.”
The fatty saluted at once and laughed, “Senior, please give me one week. I’ll cut my weight down.”
After saying that,
He jumped down from the ring and vanished quickly.
Obviously, he was to lose some weight.
Doing exercise is a way to lose weight.
Under the stage, the audience was speechless at the scene.
Although Fang Qiu had explained the reasons, they still couldn’t believe it. This breakthrough method seemed too simple.
If it was that easy, why would so many people be stuck at the Martial Arts Pract.i.tioner realm?
“Is he tricking him?”
“I’ve never heard weight loss can help with breakthrough.”
“This doesn’t seem right.”
The crowd shook their head slightly.
On the side,
Sitting at the round table closest to the ring, Elder Yi nodded gently upon Fang Qiu’s suggestion.
“This man is very powerful. His advise was based on evidence. It wasn’t just a random suggestion.”
“To break through, one must sense.”
“Too much fat will weaken the affinity between the body and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It makes sense.”
…
“Next.”
Fang Qiu shouted in the ring.
The voice spread out.
A figure dashed into the ring very quickly like a cheetah in the forest.
Taking another look.
This time it was a slim man.
Not skinny but very thin.
After a fatty came a skinny?
The audience was amused at once.
“This should be fun.”
“Hahah. The fatty needs to lose weight. Maybe this skinny also needs to trim down a few pounds. Would he have anything left after?”
“It can’t be losing weight. But maybe he needs to gain a few pounds.”
“I can’t wait to hear what you are to say to this slim fellower after dealing with the fat.”
Actually,
Most people present knew this slim fighter.
He was quite famous in the Jiangjing martial arts circle. A seafood businessman, he had been stuck at the Martial Arts Pract.i.tioner realm for 8 years. He just couldn’t break through.
