Chapter 235: Chapter 188: Top Passive Skill_3
He is a young man who has shed trivial tastes, is full of ambition, and has a sunny and cheerful disposition.
Apart from having a sturdy build, no matter how you look at him, he can’t be associated with images of "monsters" or "demons."
Although Fang Cheng could choose to appear more ordinary, doing so would actually make him more susceptible to suspicion.
After all, his identity and past experiences could be investigated at any time.
Presenting himself as somewhat outstanding now was indeed just right.
Even though his normal training plans were affected, he could spend more time practicing other skills.
Thinking of this, Fang Cheng’s eyes briefly flickered, as he looked at the panel that appeared before him.
The skill level of Tai Chi Boxing is relatively low, so efficiency in improvement is relatively higher.
After focusing on practice these days, his experience had increased rapidly, and last night, he achieved a breakthrough, receiving an unexpected enhancement reward.
[Power Reduction, deeply understand the principle of using softness to overcome hardness in boxing, the muscles in the body form an instinctive response to neutralize external attacks]
[Under the condition that one’s own speed is greater than the target’s speed within the same timeframe, immune to attacks under 2 tons, and for attacks exceeding 2 tons, perform reduction based on this]
[This is a reflection of gradually moving towards the highest level of Tai Chi Boxing skills; each skill upgrade further increases the limit of Power Reduction]
Looking at the description of the Tai Chi Boxing skill effect promoted to expert level, Fang Cheng couldn’t help but reminisce about that nearly mystical state of enlightenment.
The so-called martial arts skills, in essence, revolve around two aspects.
Allowing one’s body to exert all its strength, and successfully neutralizing all attacks launched by the opponent.
Simply put, it’s about attack and defense.
Any martial art or style, to be truly applied in real combat, merely practicing the moves proficiently is not enough.
One needs to forget all the learned routines completely, and ultimately only remember how to issue power, forming muscle instinct memory.
If all the moves of Tai Chi Boxing are about the four-character mantra in confronting enemies: connect, lead, neutralize, and issue.
Then "Power Reduction" is a fusion of "connect" and "neutralize," belonging to the top skills for neutralizing attacks.
In simpler terms, it’s "get hit before hitting someone," and "getting hit" demonstrates "Power Reduction" directly.
Of course, it doesn’t mean foolishly standing there to be hit, but using techniques like contracting muscles and shifting force instantaneously when the opponent launches an attack, making it so that even if they land a hit, it won’t cause significant damage.
This skill effect is actually like a passive defense skill.
Plus the similar Hard Qigong effects of "Iron Fist," "Steel Bone," "Iron Plate Bridge," "Strong Wrist Master," and "Kirin Arm."
It can be said that it further enhances one’s ability to resist attacks.
Unfortunately...
There’s currently no real combat opponent to test the specific effects.
After washing up, Fang Cheng returned to the living room and watched the news of celebrating the Spring Festival across the country.
He couldn’t help feeling a bit melancholic.
Today is the 30th, the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, only seven days to the New Year.
He hopes the police can lift the lockdown soon.
He had planned to visit his grandfather in the hospital today.
He called his mom yesterday and learned that his grandfather’s post-surgery recovery was going relatively smoothly.
He estimated that in two or three days, he could be out of the ICU.
While pondering, Fang Cheng suddenly heard the sound of police sirens from downstairs.
It seems some epidemic prevention department has arrived to disinfect the whole building and offer free health checks.
