Chapter 307 - 278: The Knife Has a Sheath, Grandmaster’s Demeanor
Just controlling the Horse Form Cannon was difficult enough, but the Horse Form Chain Cannon required continuous power delivery during motion, making it even more challenging. Many people could hit a punching bag with loud thumps while stationary, but once on the ring, punching while moving, they would find it was a completely different matter.
Horse Form Cannon was an entrance assessment for the advanced class of Xingyi Fist, while Horse Form Chain Cannon was a tough point in the professional course, not something everyone could master.
Ran Xiaochuan was a National Martial Arts Sixth Rank student, and choosing Horse Form Chain Cannon was somewhat risky. However, opportunities like this came only once, and he didn’t want to miss it easily.
The first punch, he borrowed power quite well.
The second punch, his center of gravity was somewhat off, and he lost some control of his body when rushing out.
The third punch, his body totally lost control. Although he managed to step forward, he borrowed no strength at all; instead, he just numbed his legs.
Ran Xiaochuan stopped, ashamed. The Horse Form Chain Cannon was all about momentum because each step borrowed force to accelerate, making each succeeding punch stronger than the last. Since his third punch was weaker than the first, there was naturally no point in continuing the demonstration.
"Mr. Wu, may I try again?" Ran Xiaochuan pleaded, looking at Wu Li.
Wu Li waved his hand dismissively, "No worries, go down and train well, go rest aside, next one."
Ran Xiaochuan walked away dejectedly, and the rest instinctively tensed up.
They had anticipated various forms of assessments before coming: sparring with students, clashing with Wu Li, learning a set of fist techniques on the spot, having Wu Li ask some professional martial arts questions... But they hadn’t thought the assessment would be like this.
