Xue Zhengming was stunned and asked, “Why are you asking this?”
Chu Nan looked at him and sighed, “The Flowing Cloud Indefinite Palm is indeed worthy of being an A-rank martial technique. The palm technique is indeed exquisite, but you used it too rigidly. There are no variations in the same move. It’s really disappointing.”
Xue Zhengming frowned, “What do you mean?”
“In the battle just now, you struck out a total of 237 palms, but they only contained 63 palm techniques. In the battle, you repeated each palm technique at least twice, and several palm techniques even repeated three or even four times. Every time you repeated the same palm technique, you did not change at all. It was completely repeated. Therefore, I said that your palm technique was used too rigidly. I’m afraid you can’t master the essence of the Flowing Cloud Indefinite Palm.”
Hearing Chu Nan’s words, Xue Zhengming and the surrounding martial arts students were stunned.
Not to mention how ridiculous it was for Chu Nan, a guy who did not know anything about the Flowing Cloud Indefinite Palm, to dare to shamelessly point out the mistakes of Xue Zhengming, a person who had cultivated the Flowing Cloud Indefinite Palm for more than ten years, just the precise data that came out of Chu Nan’s mouth made everyone feel puzzled and unbelievable.
Was what he said true?
Did he really remember every palm strike of Xue Zhengming in the battle just now?
This was too ridiculous!
“Hey, did you count how many moves Senior Brother Xue used just now?” A student could not help but ask his companion.
His companion immediately shook his head.
“Who would count something like that…”
Everyone stared at Chu Nan and wanted to directly criticize him for talking nonsense. However, Chu Nan’s firm tone and extremely calm expression still carried a trace of dissatisfaction. Coupled with the extremely detailed data he had given just now, it was filled with persuasiveness and made it impossible for others to think that he was talking nonsense.
Xue Zhengming also looked at Chu Nan in a daze, but his eyes were filled with shock.
He did not remember how many times he had slapped Chu Nan in the battle earlier, but he knew very well that he had indeed used all the four stances and 63 moves of the Flowing Cloud Indefinite Palm he had grasped more than once.
Moreover, as Chu Nan had said, he had used some palm techniques three or even four times.
As for Chu Nan’s accusation that he had used it too rigidly and lacked changes, this was a problem that his father had always mentioned.
He did not expect that Chu Nan would be able to see through it in such a short period of time!
This… this was too ridiculous!
“Hey, Xue Zhengming, tell me, other than you, is there anyone else in the Flowing Cloud Martial Arts Hall who cultivates the Flowing Cloud Indefinite Palm? If there is, can you invite him to spar with me?” Chu Nan asked again.
Xue Zhengming was stunned before he was furious.
Chu Nan was clearly still in the competition with him, but he actually wanted to exchange pointers with someone else. He clearly did not take him seriously!
“You want to find someone else to spar with? Defeat me first!”
Xue Zhengming roared angrily. He took a step forward and slapped his palm.
Chu Nan shook his head. He turned around and threw a punch. As expected, it struck his true body in the palm shadows that filled the sky. Then, he stretched out his left fist and struck Xue Zhengming’s ribs.
Xue Zhengming hurriedly retracted his palm and wanted to block Chu Nan’s punch. However, he did not expect that Chu Nan would quickly retract his left fist. He twisted his waist and kicked Xue Zhengming’s waist, sending him flying.
Seeing Xue Zhengming’s body fly far away and fall to the ground, the surrounding martial arts students revealed unbearable expressions.
Although Xue Zhengming was Xue Changhao’s son, his martial arts talent was really not outstanding, causing him to not be ranked in the Flowing Cloud Martial Arts Hall. Everyone knew this, but it was still difficult for the students to accept that he had been dealt with so easily by Chu Nan.
No matter what, he was also the only heir of the Xue family. He represented the Xue family and even the prestige of the Flowing Cloud Martial Arts Hall. Now that he had been defeated so easily, it would simply embarrass the entire Xue family and the entire Flowing Cloud Martial Arts Hall if word got out.
Chu Nan’s kick did not contain Internal Breath, so although the force was already extremely great, it could not cause any damage to the powerful body of a second-stage Internal Breath Martial Artist like Xue Zhengming. As soon as he landed on the ground, he propped himself up and slapped again.
However, this time, Chu Nan easily blocked his attack. Then, in just a few moves, he kicked him away.
Xue Zhengming was still unwilling to give up and rushed towards Chu Nan again.
Bang!
A moment later, he was kicked away by Chu Nan again.
This time, no matter how stupid Xue Zhengming was, he knew that it was impossible for him to be Chu Nan’s match.
Both of them did not use their Internal Breath and only used external martial techniques to fight. He could not defeat Chu Nan with his powerful A-rank martial technique, the Flowing Cloud Indefinite Palm. Then, if they all used their Internal Breath, with Chu Nan’s strength that was enough to defeat a fourth-stage Internal Breath Martial Artist like Brax, it would be even easier to defeat him.
When he thought of this, Xue Zhengming’s face could not help but turn ashen as he stared at Chu Nan speechlessly.
Seeing him like this, Chu Nan did not feel any joy and only felt disappointed.
He originally wanted to obtain more understanding of external martial techniques from the Flowing Cloud Indefinite Palm that Xue Zhengming used, but he did not expect that Xue Zhengming’s grasp of this palm technique was so rigid, causing him to only be able to strengthen the comprehension he had obtained last time, but he was unable to obtain any deeper comprehension. His gains were really not great.
“Can you tell me now who else in your martial arts hall cultivates the Flowing Cloud Indefinite Palm?” Chu Nan thought for a moment and was still unwilling to give up as he asked Xue Zhengming.
Xue Zhengming stared at Chu Nan and grunted, “Stop dreaming. The Flowing Cloud Indefinite Palm is a secret that our Xue family doesn’t impart to outsiders. No one else in the entire martial arts hall knows it other than me!”
“Really?” Chu Nan’s gaze swept past the surrounding martial arts students. When he saw that their expressions were a little ugly, he immediately understood.
Xue Zhengming should not be talking nonsense. After all, the Flowing Cloud Indefinite Palm was an A-rank martial technique. The Xue family treated it as a secret. It was normal that these disciples of the Flowing Cloud Martial Arts Hall could not learn it.
“In other words… I came for nothing?” After figuring this out, Chu Nan could not help but smile bitterly.
He sighed and was about to turn around and leave when a strong middle-aged man’s voice suddenly sounded from the periphery.
“Who said that there’s no second person who can use it?”
Hearing this voice, the martial arts director, Jiang Liu, Xue Zhengming, and all the surrounding martial arts students shook in unison and looked in the direction of the voice in shock.
The crowd automatically opened up a path, revealing a square-faced middle-aged man standing outside the first martial arts arena.
Chu Nan also looked over in surprise and recognized this middle-aged man at a glance.
Xue Changhao!
