Free Web NovelChapter 379: Chapter 183: Chen Family Martial Arts Showcase! Mist and Flute Sounds! (Part 2)
It’s actually a sound of vibration and resonance.
This can be fully explained by scientific reasoning. The Daoist added a description of applying qi to the sword, which naturally invites ridicule.
However, one thing is certain: sword resonance is not something just anyone can achieve. At the very least, the strength you can exert with your wrist must be enough. And it’s not just brute force; it requires skill and coordination with the sword’s momentum.
So, in the past, demonstrating sword resonance at least proved one’s strength in sword practice.
Following this, Chen Han watched as his junior sister began to fiercely execute sword moves.
He quickly recognized it as a sword technique from the Taoist Sect, which focuses on sharp and aggressive moves—the "Taike Swordsmanship." Such a performance technique also makes it more aesthetically pleasing.
It was also at this moment that Chen Dalong and Chen Jun joined in, coordinating their moves with the junior sister.
Generally, in staged fighting performances, a major flaw is that they obviously look fake, leaving evident traces and appear weak.
After all, unlike filming movies where there are people specifically assigned to take hits, even wearing protective gear, it’s different in live shows.
However, the junior sister’s performance was evidently different because her moves were genuinely powerful. Her control over the force was also excellent, showing a strong physique and proficient swordsmanship techniques, executed with ease.
Primarily, although Chen Dalong and Chen Jun’s physical fitness couldn’t compare to Little Uncle’s, the junior sister had been consistently preparing Body Forging Pills for them.
Plus, they returned to the Chen Family and exercised daily with Chen Dagou, thus their physiques were superior to the average person. Consequently, they coordinated well with the junior sister, delivering powerful and realistic performances, unlike many other choreographed moves that seem very fake.
Even the tourists around noticed and were captivated by the martial arts performance:
"This is what a real martial arts performance looks like, unlike the soft and staged techniques performed elsewhere!"
"Of course, the Chen Family possesses true martial arts. Previously, ’Xiaoyuzha’ dispatched a gang of thieves with just two strikes."
"It was the Throat-Sealing and Yoni-Teasing Sword technique. Remarkably, she didn’t even sharpen the blade, yet dealt with them. If it had been sharpened, those thieves would have been done with just one slice."
"..."
Xiaoyu continued to attack fiercely, her sword constantly directing blows at Chen Dalong and Chen Jun, forcing them to retreat step by step. The two of them cooperated excellently, leaving no traces of pretense.
Eventually, Xiaoyu kicked both of them consecutively, sending them flying out, rolling on the ground.
At the same time, Xiaoyu swiftly dashed towards the two poles, then suddenly leaped onto a protruding part of the pole, using it to propel herself upward to another protruding part.
The height she reached with her jump was astonishing, something the average person couldn’t achieve even if the most athletic young man tried with all his might.
The key was her incredible speed, as she quickly reached the third protruding part.
Chen Han understood then: parkour!
The move was much like the common wall-running actions seen in parkour.
Many had watched parkour practitioners bounce between walls to reach the upper levels.
The junior sister applied the same principle, but her body was nimbler, her speed surpassed usual parkour athletes, and her actions were more elevated.
Within moments, the junior sister had parkoured to the top of the two bars, taking a stance with her sword, truly looking like a valiant heroine.
In his eyes, it was parkour. But what about the tourists?
"’Xiaoyuzha’ even knows qinggong! Isn’t this more impressive than parkour?"
"Indeed, it’s better than the Qinggong of that Chen Daoist of Wudang!"
"She knows qinggong, can wield a sword to slash throats, lift and tease the shadow, what else could she be if not the heroine of a novel?"
"..."
After the performance ended, applause quickly erupted around them.
Xiaoyu, however, didn’t go backstage. Instead, she picked up a microphone and bowed to the tourists: "Thank you all for enjoying the show. Thank you."
"And the next program, everyone should like it too. As you know, our Chen Family boasts three masters fond of wearing white vests. Next, these three masters will perform for everyone!"
As her words concluded, Chen Lin, Chen Dagou, and Chen Shuisheng, already wearing their iconic white vests, stepped onto the stage, followed by Chen Dalong, Chen Jun, and some members of the Demon Suppression Hall.
These people regularly trained with Chen Dagou and received some Body Forging Pills from Xiaoyu, in addition to being physically robust, having backgrounds in rough labor. Each of them was truly like a martial artist.
As Chen Lin and the other two appeared, the Chen Family Demon Suppression Hall people collectively performed a set of "Taiyin Long Fist." This time, their performance was executed with great unison and a tremendous aura.
Unlike the last time when the three did their own thing, all jumbled, leaving reporters to speculate a reason, claiming it was due to varying strength levels among them, resulting in differences in speed.
After all, stronger practitioners naturally strike faster—it makes sense.
This explanation received a lot of agreement and support online.
Now, with their synchronized movements, it was different. Many tourists, initially puzzled, began to offer explanations:
"This time, they’re so perfectly in sync, unlike before. Hence, masters can strike faster, yet manage a blend of strength and gentleness with ease."
"Indeed, previously without preparation, in all-out strikes, naturally the more powerful ones struck faster. Now, with preparation, they all managed their strength."
"Certainly, the Chen Family’s three for the sake of others held back a bit, yet it was still very forceful."
"Look at the rest of the Chen Family, their performance exceeds that of many who engage in martial arts training..."
