Chapter 152: 【101】Wang Longhu VS Lu Tieying_3
In front of him, the Black Death Tiger had already touched the threshold of that realm, moving ahead of Wang Longhu.
Eastern martial artists emphasize tendons, bones, and skin, while Western fighters focus on muscles.
In Eastern martial arts, the understanding is that the power of the human body originates from qi and blood. As long as the tendons, bones, and skin are properly trained, a surge of qi and blood can unleash astounding power.
Like many old martial artists who appear frail, with their skin seemingly draped over bones and without an ounce of flesh.
Yet as long as they exert their force, their strength is not at all inferior to that of young people.
This is the power of tendons, bones, and skin. The major tendons of the human body are like springs; if they can be tightly drawn, they have strength.
And bones are the support for strength. If your bones aren’t hard enough, they won’t withstand the force of tightly drawn tendons. Skin is the key; if it’s too weak, the tendons will tear the skin before clashing with an enemy, causing you pain.
When the major tendons exert their force, the sign is that the sinews swell and redden, making the person’s skin look dark from a distance, which is quite frightening.
Observing the visibly larger Black Death Tiger, this was a display of tendon-relaxing and bone-activating techniques, with a broad back and bear-like waist. It was the first time Wang Longhu’s face showed an amused expression.
Indeed, dueling with experts is more interesting.
