"Step."
A series of chaotic footsteps shattered the tranquility in the Cave, and Niu Meng felt his breath become labored, as if two great mountains were about to crush him. He felt like he was standing on a solitary reef, about to be swallowed by the tide, with the pressure weighing down on him like the heaviness of stars, forcing his body to retreat.
"So that's how it is." Wang Yi looked at his palms in amazement, and after a moment, he turned to Lin Chao and said seriously, "Thank you, Lin Shixiong."
"Thank me?" Lin Chao was baffled, scratching his head in confusion. "What just happened?"
"Yeah, big brother, what just happened? Why did I feel like I couldn't control my body?" Niu Meng said, rubbing his head. He was indeed startled by what had just occurred; if he hadn't quickly summoned all his strength to break free from the flow of energy, he might have been hit by Wang Yi.
"Isn't that Pushing Cloud Palm?" Wang Yi smiled and said, "You all know the principle of overcoming hardness with softness." However, he felt a bit anxious about what had just happened. If he continued to sink into that state, he would inevitably fall into madness and be unable to cultivate for life. Fortunately, Lin Chao had timely pointed out that "Niu Meng is strong," which instantly reminded him of the phrase from the martial arts manual: "hard and soft complement each other, overcoming hardness with softness."
He also understood the meaning of the three foundational techniques of Kaiyang Sect: Nine Section Free Fighting is known for its ferocity and emphasizes using strength against strength. Winding Hand is known for its entangling power and focuses on using force to counter force. Lastly, Pushing Cloud Palm embodies softness and emphasizes harmony between the two—hardness and softness working together.
Among the three martial arts techniques, Pushing Cloud Palm, which seemed the weakest, was actually the strongest.
"Hard and soft complement each other; overcoming hardness with softness!" Lin Chao's eyes lit up, then he shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Everyone understands this principle, but it's incredibly difficult to truly achieve it."
"Aren't these eight words from the foundational techniques? Could there be some mystery within?" Niu Meng scratched his head in confusion. He knew that he was strong and fierce; because of his great strength, everything was about breaking through with force. He believed that in the face of absolute power, any technique was futile.
"It seems Wang Shidi is indeed a wise person; I believe you will soon enter the Inner Sect," Lin Chao said.
In the Outer Sect, with his strength, he could definitely rank among the top ten; his talent was not lacking. While he understood what those eight words meant in foundational techniques, he found it difficult to grasp them fully. Understanding requires not only talent but also insight.
"Lin Shixiong is overpraising me; with your talent, entering the Inner Sect is not difficult," Wang Yi smiled. After spending time together, he felt that Lin Chao was someone worth befriending; having one more friend was better than having one more enemy.
"Bastard! Big brother, what are you all talking about? I don't understand anything!" Niu Meng exclaimed in bewilderment while scratching his head.
"You are just like a bull, so with your IQ, it's hard for you to understand what we are talking about." Lin Chao laughed heartily and said, "Just stick to your own path."
"Hehe, Bastard, you better believe it. I can smash your head with one punch, do you believe me?" Niu Meng clenched his fists, the sound of cracking knuckles following, grinning provocatively and saying, "How about we have another match?"
"Forget it, we still have three more to go." Lin Chao said without any embarrassment, pondering for a moment and added, "Maybe in a month you'll have the chance to fight me."
"Are you talking about the big competition?" Niu Meng exclaimed in delight, raising his right fist towards Lin Chao and said loudly, "Great! When that time comes, I will definitely beat you up."
"I'll be waiting," Lin Chao replied with a smile.
Then, Wang Yi was exchanging martial arts insights with Niu Meng. Niu Meng had a good understanding of the power aspect, while what Wang Yi needed were precisely these insights to truly achieve a balance of hardness and softness.
"Big brother, your idea of using softness to overcome hardness makes sense, but I still think it’s useless in the face of absolute strength." Bull Mighty Tiger stared at Wang Yi and said emphatically, "No matter how soft the enemy is, I can take them down with one punch."
Lin Chao chuckled and said, "Only you, this brute bull, would think that way. If Wang Yi reaches your level, I don't think you'll be the one winning."
"What? Is he that strong?" Niu Meng was taken aback and exclaimed, "Bastard, you’re not trying to fool me, are you?"
"Weren't you already tested that earlier?" Lin Chao rolled his eyes in exasperation.
"Well, Niu Meng. Everyone has their own martial path; yours is the path of strength," Wang Yi said with a smile.
"That's true. I'm not bragging; I haven't seen anyone stronger than me in Outer Sect," Niu Meng said with a hint of pride on his honest face.
"You are just an anomaly; who else at your level has such strength?" Lin Chao said with an annoyed eye roll.
"By the way, Lin Chao, how do you know everything?" Niu Meng scratched his head in confusion.
"Can you read?" Lin Chao rolled his eyes at him and said, "When you have free time, don't you know to read a few more books?"
"Bastard, I can't even recognize a single character," Niu Meng was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly laughed and cursed, "You actually know how to read!"
"I'm not clear with you," Lin Chao immediately felt a headache; talking to this brute was simply inhuman torture.
Wang Yi laughed heartily, holding his stomach. Only Niu Meng would ask such hurtful questions; wasn't that an insult? Only those who understood his temperament wouldn't get angry. If it were someone else, they might have already started fighting.
"What, did I say something wrong?" Niu Meng looked at Wang Yi with an innocent expression, scratching his head.
Lin Chao felt like he wanted to commit suicide. He opened his mouth and thought, "How can there be such a brute in this world? Truly talented."
"You should find opportunities to read more books in the future!" Wang Yi slapped his forehead; he really didn't know what to say.
"Bastard, big brother, as for reading, I think I'll pass. In the future, if I come across something I don't understand, I'll just ask you, right?" Niu Meng said seriously.
"By the way, Wang Yi, has there been any movement from Li Gang lately?" Lin Chao asked.
"Hmph, that bastard. I've never liked him. If it weren't for having a Jian Ren backing him up, how could he be where he is today?" Niu Meng replied.
