In the front courtyard of the Martial Arts Hall.
Yang Jing and Xu Hong had already exchanged dozens of blows.
Yang Jing didn't use his Raging Wave Kicks, sticking solely to the Mountain-Shattering Fist for a direct confrontation. The sound of fist meeting flesh echoed with solid THUDS.
In truth, with his current level of skill, he could have defeated Xu Hong in under ten moves if he'd combined the Mountain-Shattering Fist with his Raging Wave Kicks.
But he didn't.
For one, this sparring match was meant to test his own progress. Clashing head-on allowed him to clearly perceive every detail of the Mountain-Shattering Fist and refine its intent.
For another, he used to rely on his Body Technique to supplement his fists in hit-and-run attacks because his opponents were too strong, forcing him to use skill to close the gap in power.
