In fact, Populus euphratica looks very calm on the surface, but she is still looking forward to it in her heart.
Regarding this challenge, Hu Yang knew very well that it was extremely difficult.
After all, what he faced this time was not his peers, but the strong men of his grandfather's generation.
But the reason why he was relatively calm before was because he knew that Grandpa Zhou and the others were not vegetarians.
They will definitely try their best to help themselves.
In fact, Hu Yang was also betting, and it turned out that he was right.
After Hu Yang put away the left and right confrontation skills, he followed Zhou Heihei and others to the master's residence.
This master lives in the outer suburbs of Jiangcheng.
In a small basin surrounded by mountains and rivers, there is a large manor.
The manor is well-maintained, and the exquisiteness inside is in sharp contrast to the desolation surrounding it.
In the manor, even a blade of grass is trimmed to perfection.
"Grandpa Zhou, this man is very particular!"
Hu Yang walked into the manor and said with emotion.
"Nonsense, my friend, can there be anything uncouth?"
Zhou Baibai patted his chest, and then looked at Hu Yang with a serious face, "Little bastard, don't embarrass me."
"My old friend, he has never taught anyone for so many years. I told him clearly that you are a rare talent with extremely high understanding, so he reluctantly agreed to teach me for my sake.
you."
"If you can't learn anything in these five days, I won't be able to see anyone in the future."
Hu Yang nodded seriously when he heard this, "Don't worry, I promise I won't embarrass you."
After saying this, Hu Yang asked curiously: "What should I call him?"
"His surname is Yan and he is the third oldest child. Everyone calls him Yan San."
Just as Zhou Heihei was introducing, Yan San, wearing a white martial arts uniform, walked out accompanied by two young people.
"Yan San, I've brought you here. I'll be looking after you for the next five days."
The white-haired Yan San looked at Populus euphratica for a few times, and then pointed at his two grandchildren behind him.
"Come, let's have a fight with my two grandsons first, and let me see how strong you are."
"good."
Hu Yang didn't think much and agreed readily.
"What's good?"
Zhou Baibai glared at Yan San angrily, "What do you mean? Are there any bullies like you?"
"Who doesn't know that your two grandsons are your treasures? Their strength is among the best among the younger generation."
"I just brought someone here, and you're bullying the minority. What's going on? Who are you trying to intimidate?"
After hearing this, Yan San glanced at Zhou Heihei a few times, "We haven't seen each other for so many years, but you still look at the problem so superficially!"
"you……"
Zhou Heihei really didn't expect that the old guy in front of him would not give him any face!
"What am I? Didn't you say that before? This kid's opponents in a week will be those old guys."
"Do you think my two grandsons are more powerful? Or those old guys are more powerful?"
"If he can't beat my grandson, then why should he fight?"
After Yan San said this, he paused for a few seconds and then continued: "Only through actual combat can I understand this guy's true strength and give him the most systematic plan."
Zhou Heihei said nothing when he heard this.
I have to say that what Yan San said does make sense.
In such a comparison, my own layout seems a bit small!
Hu Yang nodded repeatedly, "Grandpa Yan, let your two grandsons start!"
oh?!
Hearing what Hu Yang said, Yan San couldn't help but look at Hu Yang a few more times, "You want them to attack first?"
"Yes."
Hu Yang nodded.
"Have courage."
After Yan San finished speaking, he looked sideways at the two grandsons behind him and said, "Be gentle."
"Grandpa, don't worry."
After the two responded, they came to Hu Yang. They folded their hands and began to introduce themselves, "Yan Ding, Yan Hao."
Populus euphratica also clasped his fists with both hands and said, "Popular euphratica."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Ding and Yan Hao approached Populus euphratica like lightning.
But what they didn't expect was that even though their speed was extremely fast, they still couldn't get close to Populus euphratica.
The Populus euphratica in front of him kept retreating, and he seemed to be able to do so with ease. His speed was always consistent with Yan Ding and Yan Hao.
oh?!
This simple move still contains a lot of information for a master like Yan San.
A full minute passed. No matter how fast Yan Ding and Yan Hao accelerated, they could not get even one centimeter closer to Populus euphratica.
Their patience was completely exhausted within this minute.
"What do you mean? Can you stop being a coward? Do you dare to fight head-on?"
Yan Ding asked impatiently.
After hearing this, Hu Yang was upright, and his figure flashed before appearing in front of them.
Without any extra explanation or preparation, he punched twice at the same time.
These two punches were extremely fast and were accompanied by a fierce punching wind.
If faced with an ordinary opponent, Hu Yang's two punches would have ended the battle.
But that was not the case now. Even though Hu Yang caught Yan Ding and Yan Hao off guard, their reactions were still very quick.
They did not choose to fight head-on, but retreated reflexively.
Although they were very fast, they were still hit in the chest by Hu Yang's fists.
As they retreated, they stumbled and fell to the ground in a state of embarrassment.
The moment they fell to the ground, Populus euphratica accelerated forward and appeared directly in front of them.
Naturally, Populus euphratica would not let go of such an opportunity.
I saw him punch two more times fiercely.
But these two punches so close at hand did not hurt Yan Ding and Yan Hao.
Because they just ducked away.
He rolled on the ground several times.
Although they were a little embarrassed throughout the process, they still managed to avoid Populus euphratica's attack.
Populus euphratica took advantage of the victory and pursued them, chasing and beating them.
Just when his fist was about to hit Yan Ding and Yan Hao, the two brothers suddenly raised their hands high and said, "If we don't fight, we will admit defeat."
When Hu Yang heard this, he immediately withdrew his fist, and then helped them up in a friendly manner, "I've offended them so much just now, I'm really sorry."
Yan Ding and Yan Hao shook their heads repeatedly, "It doesn't matter, these are all trivial matters."
Yan San, who had been standing aside without saying a word, couldn't help but look at Hu Yang a few more times, and then looked at Yan Ding and Yan Hao, "It's been a long time since you guys have been in such a mess! How are you doing? What do you think?"
"There is heaven outside the sky, and there are people outside the world."
Yan Ding concluded seriously: "We were indeed too confident before, and there are still many shortcomings that need to be summarized and learned."
After hearing this, Yan San nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at Yan Hao, "Regarding the fight just now, what do you think of Populus euphratica?"
Yan Hao said truthfully: "Brother Hu is very strong. Even if my brother and I join forces, we are no match for him."
"But there are many flaws and even loopholes in the process of returning from strength to strength."
Speaking of this, Yan Hao couldn't help but look at Populus euphratica a few more times.
Instead of being angry, Hu Yang actually nodded to Yan Hao expectantly.
In his opinion, the purpose of competition is not to win or lose, but to find out one's own shortcomings and thereby improve.
If this is not possible, then the discussion will be ineffective.
"Your speed and strength cannot be sustained and you cannot always maintain a high level of status."
Hearing this, Hu Yang blinked and asked curiously: "Brother Yan Hao, how do you say this?"
"Your first punch, whether it's speed or strength, is the pinnacle of your previous attack."
"But later on, during the second and third punches, your speed and strength dropped significantly. This is why you didn't hit us with the second punch."
"If every subsequent punch you throw can be as domineering as the first punch, or the difference is not too big, then the fight between us will be over long ago."
After listening to Yan Hao's views, Hu Yang also agreed. In fact, he discovered this problem a long time ago.
But there were so many things going on during this period that he ignored it.
Yan San nodded, "Yes, the review is very accurate."
Having said this, Yan San looked at Hu Yang and said, "You are indeed a seedling. If you can improve these minor problems, your strength will be greatly improved."
Hu Yang nodded slightly, but there was no joy on his face. Instead, he looked at Yan San calmly, "Grandpa Yan, is there any way to improve my strength a lot during these five days of special training?"
When Yan San heard this, he couldn't help but smile, "I didn't realize that you are quite ambitious."
"It's not impossible to improve a lot."
"But it all depends on you. You have to learn the trick of 'win by quantity'."
Win by quantity?!
This was the first time for Populus euphratica to hear this term, so he felt it was very novel.
"Grandpa Yan, what does it mean to win by quantity?"
Seeing Hu Yang's eager eyes, Yan San didn't show off and said seriously: "What I'm talking about about winning by quantity is not just about quantity, the key is quality."
"As the name suggests, quantity is the number of punches you throw, and quality is the power of your punches."
"Although your punch is not very powerful now, if you could punch three or even ten punches in a row in the time it took you to throw one punch before, do you think the power would be the same?"
"The other thing is quality. If you can ensure that the power of each punch is the same as the first punch, or almost the same, then your power will be terrifying."
"No matter how strong the opponent is, you are sure to kill it instantly."
Hearing Yan San's words, Populus euphratica felt as if he had discovered a new world.
You know, he had never thought about this before.
I used to punch one punch, but now I punch five or even ten punches at the same time.
Tsk tsk tsk...
Even just thinking about it makes me feel very excited!
Different from Hu Yang's excitement, Zhou Heibai on the side was very serious, "Yan San, are you kidding me?"
"What is winning by quantity? Can you not ask Populus euphratica for your tricks?"
"He only practiced with you for five days. How could he reach the level you said?"
"Why isn't it possible?"
Yan San put his hands behind his back and answered seriously, "Actually, for this kid, if he meets my requirements, it will be equivalent to a qualitative change!"
"But the only condition for qualitative change is quantitative change."
"Only by increasing the amount of training, practicing and learning repeatedly, only by using quantitative changes can we sublimate to qualitative changes."
At this point, Yan San added: "Of course, if you think it's impossible, feel bitter and tired, you can leave now."
"No, no, no, thank you Grandpa Yan for your guidance. I know my shortcomings. I promise not to let you down in the next five days."
Hearing this, Yan San nodded calmly, "I can understand your mood, but you must remember that when it comes to cultivation, too much is not enough. If you blindly pursue strength, you may go crazy."
"So we have to accumulate bit by bit. In these five days, even if you don't meet my requirements, you will definitely gain a lot."
After hearing this, Hu Yang nodded repeatedly, sat on the ground, and began to calm down and meditate.
He did not practice immediately because he needed to clarify his thoughts and never let himself be like a headless fly.
He thought about it for ten minutes.
When he opened his eyes again, everything fell into place.
Only then did his frown relax.
"Grandpa Zhou, you go back first! I will practice steadily here."
"Come pick me up again in five days!"
After Zhou Heihe heard this, he wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Zhou Zhengyi and Zhuang Hui beside him.
"Okay, Xiao Hu, let's leave first. Please take care of yourself."
After Zhou Zhengyi finished speaking, he waved to Populus euphratica and walked out.
Hu Yang, led by Yan San, came to an independent practice room.
Without any hesitation, Hu Yang entered the practice room and started practicing.
He punched over and over again, thinking as he punched.
On the basis of the previous punch, throwing one more punch is not only an increase in speed, but also a change in thinking.
And on the premise of ensuring speed, the power of the second punch cannot be compromised.
Thinking of this, Populus euphratica had a headache.
Without a clue, he kept groping, looking for the feeling of punching.
Even though there is no achievement, Populus euphratica is not in a hurry.
Because he knows very well that it is basically impossible to change his punching habit for many years in a short period of time.
All this will take time to change.
But it takes time, and only by practicing hard can you achieve results.
After all, only quantitative changes can lead to qualitative changes.
Hu Yang practiced this for most of the day.
And during this time, he has been practicing how to punch.
Even if it was just a simple action, he repeated it thousands of times.
Even his clothes were soaked with sweat.
At this moment, Yan San walked in.
"How's your practice going?"
Yan San asked casually.
"Grandpa Yan, I've almost found the feeling."
"In the time it took to throw one punch before, you can throw two punches."
Hu Yang said with some excitement.
But what he didn't expect was that as soon as he finished speaking, Yan San's cold, contemptuous voice rang out, "Does such a small achievement make you complacent?"
"Don't you think you are gifted?"
"You practiced all afternoon, and this is what you achieved? As you just told me, others can do it in just one hour at most."
"You should reflect on yourself! If you don't want to practice, you can leave at any time."
Yan San left these words and left with Yan Ding and Yan Hao.
Yan Ding and Yan Hao behind him were immediately stunned.
They walked out of the training room and looked at Yan San in disbelief, "Grandpa, Brother Hu can punch two punches in a row after only half a day of practice. No one else can match this talent! Why are you still so angry?"
"That's right, Grandpa, I think his understanding and speed are nothing short of a miracle!"
Hearing their inquiry, Yan San was not angry, but said seriously: "Of course I know he is a genius. I did this just to give him a wake-up call and make him more active. Don't stop because of a small child."
Just point out the results and feel complacent."
"I'm very curious about how many surprises he can bring to me in five days."
After listening to Yan San's explanation, Yan Ding and Yan Hao nodded in realization.
The next morning, Yan San came to the practice room again and was somewhat surprised to see Hu Yang who was concentrating on practicing, "You guys got up so early?"
"Grandpa Yan was joking, I didn't sleep at all."
Hu Yang answered seriously.
"Practice all night?" Yan Ding asked with a look of disbelief on his face.
Hu Yang nodded lightly, "Time is tight and the task is heavy, so I didn't sleep."
"Did you gain anything from this night?"
Yan San stared at Hu Yang.
Hu Yang did not hide anything and said truthfully: "The harvest has been great. I had an epiphany last night and suddenly found that this trick is quite simple and there is no difficulty at all."
"Really? It seems that you are a little distracted! Come, fight with me and let me see how much progress you have made to make you say such shameless words!"
"good."
Hu Yang agreed readily without even thinking about it.
After hearing this, Yan Ding and Yan Hao immediately lost their composure.
"Brother Hu, you must not do this! My grandfather's strength is really terrifying! If you hit him, you will definitely be seriously injured!"
"That's right, Brother Hu, you have only practiced this move for one day, but our grandfather has been practicing it every day for decades. His control of this move has reached its peak. How can you take it?
