Chapter 430: Heart of the Strong!
"I'm here!"
Ouyang Jie moved like a tiger descending the mountain, fiercely pouncing towards Tie Mu.
Tie Mu held one hand behind his back, and his other hand collided fiercely with Ouyang Jie's fist.
"Bang!"
An invisible surge came rushing forward, leaving the onlooking students completely dumbfounded.
"What's going on? How come I feel a gust of wind over here!"
"I felt it too! Could it be the result of the clash of fists between these two fierce fighters?"
"Holy shit! They're so strong! If only I could take one of them as my master!"
"Hahaha, what are you dreaming about! It's clear at a glance that these two aren't for show. Their combat ability, I dare say, can't be matched by a second person in the entire university, not even the coaches dare to claim they can beat them."
The crowd buzzed with discussion, while Song Yun, standing inside the arena, perceived even more.
He had underestimated Tie Mu's fighting strength; he hadn't used his full force the night before!
If he had truly exerted his real skills, he probably could have taken down the Black and White Elders with just a few injuries!
"Holy shit! His fist is like iron!"
Ouyang Jie winced in pain, shaking his arm, and looked at Tie Mu with eyes full of fighting spirit.
"Again!"
"Bang!"
"Again!"
"Again!"
Ouyang Jie kept attacking, only to be ferociously repelled by Tie Mu time after time.
Every punch, every kick, was invisibly teaching Ouyang Jie how to exert force.
If Ouyang Jie had the aptitude, he would definitely learn three parts of the true transmission!
After all, what he researched wasn't all that fancy; it was about constantly compressing his own potential, learning how to coordinate every inch of muscle in his body!
"Huff, huff, huff!"
Ouyang Jie supported himself on his knees, taking several deep breaths.
Too strong!
This Tie Mu is really too powerful!
Is this freak even human???
And looking closely at the opponent's stance, it seemed as if he hadn't moved at all!
To think that every punch of his own had been with all his might, even if it didn't injure him, it should at least push the opponent back a few steps, right?
Despair!
Is this the pinnacle of martial arts???
"Are we going again?"
Tie Mu watched Ouyang Jie with a smile that wasn't quite a smile, saying, "Your physical quality is not bad, but that's all it is, you don't know how to exert force, all that strength in your body is a sheer waste! You're like a wild bull, constantly exerting your energy in useless ways!"
Hearing Tie Mu's words, Ouyang Jie bowed humbly, seeking advice, "Uncle Tie, how should I then exert my strength?"
Tie Mu said coldly, "Before throwing punches in the future, pay more attention to the movement of the muscles in your arms, and what role each fiber can play when they are tense. I've already taught you the rest, the understanding is up to you."
"Thank you!"
Ouyang Jie said sincerely.
Indeed, no amount of explanations from others can compare to self-contemplation.
A person as powerful as Tie Mu was never systematically taught by any teacher; every move he had was the result of his own diligent research.
With his own foundations being much higher than his, could he not have the chance to reach that peak?
No! He certainly can!
"Do you want to give it a try?"
Tie Mu hooked a finger at Song Yun, asking, "Such opportunities don't come by every time."
"I'd better not, I'm not a combatant after all."
Song Yun looked into the opponent's eyes and saw the firm rage.
He knew that Tie Mu was somewhat disgruntled with Song Bu, as people like them, once injected with the serum, should seclude themselves to meditate on it.
And Song Bu's interference had delayed Tie Mu by nearly a month's time!
For a martial arts fanatic, this was even more detestable than wasting one's life!
But he couldn't just break with Song Bu; after all, the item was still in the other's hands.
So, he could only vent his frustrations by giving Song Yun a beating!
Even if it was just to let off steam!
"Heh, with that sort of ambition, you're not even as good as Ouyang Jie,"
Tie Mu arrogantly declared with his hands clasped behind his back.
"You're right,"
Song Yun said, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.
There was no helping it; the pressure from Tie Mu was too immense.
Ouyang Jie might have a lower level of skill, which is why he couldn't feel this kind of pressure.
But it was different for himself! As soon as he harbored any thoughts of fighting Tie Mu, his brain would constantly issue retreat orders!
Seeking benefits and avoiding harm seemed to be the only option for his brain!
Is this really what he wanted?
No!
His original intention was not like this!
Song Yun waged a war within himself, and finally, clenching his teeth, he shouted to Tie Mu, "Uncle Tie, please enlighten me!"
"Good!"
Tie Mu's eyes brightened, and without any pleasantries, he charged straight at Song Yun.
Song Yun only saw a blur before his eyes; his brain screamed, orchestrating every cell in his body to dodge.
"Bang!"
Tie Mu's punch...
Missed...
He looked at Song Yun, who had dodged perfectly, tilting his head in disbelief.
"Huff!"
Song Yun gasped for breath, his body drenched in sweat.
"You, kid, are kind of interesting,"
Tie Mu laughed. Many had blocked his attacks, but none had successfully dodged them. This kid was more amusing than he had thought!
"Take this punch!"
Tie Mu acted again, his fists continuously powering up, cornering Song Yun in every dead angle, leaving him no room to escape!
Song Yun managed to dodge the first few punches, but the faster the fists flew, the harder it was to dodge!
Even the wind wrapped around the fists cut off several strands of Song Yun's hair.
"Are you only going to run? Come on, attack me!"
Tie Mu taunted loudly, "What are you, a mouse? Run, run, run! You run today, you'll run tomorrow? What about the day after? There'll come a day when you can't run anymore!"
"Ah!"
Song Yun crossed his arms in front of his chest, forcefully blocking one of Tie Mu's attacks. As he was sent flying backward, he summoned strength from his waist, rotated 360 degrees, lightly touched the ground with the tips of his toes, and like an arrow released from the bowstring, he hurled himself fiercely at Tie Mu's heart!
"Not bad, but you are still too weak,"
Tie Mu wrapped one hand around Song Yun's fist and said with a smile, "But the fact that you dared to throw that punch means you have already ascended to a new realm."
"I... I actually threw it..."
Song Yun looked at his trembling hands in disbelief!
Turns out, what Tie Mu wanted to teach him was not any combat techniques, but rather, the heart to dare to fight!
"We've wasted enough time, let's go back and see if that old fool has finished the potion."
Tie Mu stretched lazily and walked away; imparting wisdom to the younger generation felt quite good.
All the way home, Song Yun stared at his hands, even zoning out at times.
"Uncle Tie, my brother Yun hasn't lost his confidence because of your beating, has he?"
Ouyang Jie asked with concern.
"Worry about nothing! Once he gets through this, he will have the heart of a true warrior,"
Tie Mu glanced sideways at Ouyang Jie and said, "Your level is still too low. When you dare to throw a punch at me, and then dare again, you'll understand Song Yun's current joy!"
