Crippled?

Hearing this from Ye Fan, Huniu was furious:

"Bastard, you dare curse me and Grandpa Hu? I'll cripple you first."

After saying this, she shifted her feet and was instantly in front of Ye Fan.

She threw a punch.

Seeing this, Huang Feihu shouted: "Huniu, you are not allowed to hurt anyone."

Huang Xuanwu also called out: "Ye Fan was invited here by the President."

Hearing this, Huniu withdrew two-tenths of her force, but her fist still struck toward Ye Fan.

This brat was spouting wild words and acting arrogant; she had to teach him a lesson no matter what.

Her fist was fast and fierce, but before it could hit Ye Fan, she stopped all movement.

At Huniu's throat was a piece of emerald green—it was the bamboo branch she had just snapped with her punch.

It was neither long nor sharp, yet it carried a dangerous aura, precisely pressing against her throat.

Standing before her was Ye Fan with a calm smile.

The fight hadn't even begun, yet it was already over.

The entire room was deathly silent.

Fast!

Too fast!

It was truly too fast!

So fast that Huang Xuanwu and the others couldn't even see clearly how this scene had happened.

Only Huang Feihu had caught Ye Fan making his move.

"I concede."

Ye Fan smiled lightly and withdrew the half-section of bamboo.

Stop at the limit.

Huniu coughed incessantly, her delicate body swaying, and she stumbled backward, as if she had been pushed by a train.

She was greatly shocked, not expecting Ye Fan to be so formidable, and subsequently became even more furious.

"Bastard—"

Huniu let out a sharp cry, sank her right foot, and prepared to fight with all her might.

"Huniu, stop!"

Huang Feihu shouted: "Do not be rude."

He stopped Huniu from attacking Ye Fan again; from the previous clash of momentum and this last move, Huang Feihu already knew Ye Fan was a top-tier expert.

"The little brother has no malice toward you."

"If he wanted to hurt you, your throat would have been pierced just now; how would you have had a chance to strike again?"

Huniu was practically his half-disciple, and Huang Feihu knew exactly how strong her skills were.

Yet, such a formidable Huniu had been easily held at bay by Ye Fan at the throat; how could Huang Feihu not be in a state of shock?

Huniu came to her senses, shuddered instantly, touched the red mark on her throat, and remained speechless for a long time.

"Little Friend Ye, I'm sorry. Huniu has a straightforward temper and meant no harm; please forgive the offense."

Huang Feihu bowed slightly to Ye Fan: "This old man apologizes to you."

Seeing the old man was reasonable and had taken the initiative to apologize, Ye Fan felt a bit of goodwill and hurriedly waved his hand to reply:

"President Huang is too polite. I also have some responsibility; I spoke too much while watching the martial arts."

Ye Fan was humble and polite: "Besides, I wasn't hurt, so you don't need to apologize."

"What President or not, it's just an empty title."

Huang Feihu smiled and waved his hand, then looked at Huniu and spoke:

"Regardless, Huniu, you were the one who struck first; that was your fault."

He was stern without being angry: "Huniu, aren't you going to apologize to the little brother?"

Although Huniu was a bit depressed, she knew Ye Fan was not to be trifled with, and with Grandpa Hu speaking up, she bit the bullet and stepped forward to apologize:

"I'm sorry."

Her mood was somewhat low; she had good talent and had practiced martial arts for many years, thinking she could sweep through the younger generation, only to be defeated by Ye Fan in one move.

Including that contest of medical skills, Huniu could be considered to have lost miserably.

"It's alright."

Ye Fan smiled faintly:

"Your temper is explosive; besides being young and impetuous, it's also because practicing Boxing has injured your internal organs, leading to excessive heart fire that makes you want to vent at all times."

Huang Feihu was stunned.

"Although I admit your medical skills are formidable, and I admit my training is inferior to yours..."

Huniu was also startled, then let out a huff:

"But these Feihu Thirty-Six Fists are Grandpa Hu's ancestral heritage, with ten times the power; can you even understand them?"

Can I understand them?

Don't joke.

Ever since Ye Fan's body changed, his mind had also been opened, and the complex world had become simple to him.

Many things were as simple as child's play to him; he hadn't dabbled much in martial arts techniques, but he could see through to the essence at a single glance.

"This boxing style is indeed fierce and intimidating."

"But its seventh, fourteenth, twenty-first, and twenty-eighth moves must have been forcibly added by someone after the original was damaged."

"Unfortunately, they don't fit, and they even add quite a bit of flashiness, involving reverse cultivation."

"The problems of damage to the internal organs and knees have also not been solved."

"Every time you break through a level, the physical damage increases by ten percent."

"Breaking through to the Yellow Realm will cause problems with your internal organs; you will vomit blood from time to time, feel miserable, and be unable to sleep."

"Breaking through to the Mysterious Realm causes a qualitative change in your essence, Qi, and spirit, but the body cannot bear the load, and the knees that support your center of gravity are the first to suffer damage."

"In the early stages, Qi and blood flow in reverse, and your feet will often be sore; when it flares up in the middle stage, it is as painful as gout, making life worse than death; in the late stage, the knees will calcify and fracture."

"After Huniu practiced this Boxing, her blood stasis wouldn't clear, her back burned, and she suffered frequent inflammation due to damage to her lungs and internal organs."

"Every time President Huang finishes practicing this set of Boxing techniques, he also needs hot compresses to relieve the pain in his legs."

Ye Fan looked at Huang Feihu and Huniu and asked: "Even so, it still swells up every month, and you need to take medicine to reduce the swelling."

As soon as these words were spoken, Huang Feihu and Huniu were both shocked and looked at Ye Fan in disbelief.

The symptoms on their bodies were all correct.

Ye Fan looked at Huang Xuanwu with a sharp gaze again:

"Huang Xuanwu's legs were originally paralyzed, and while it is true that there was the factor of being injured by an enemy, it was more because his body already had hidden dangers."

Huang Xuanwu slapped his head: "I said it, when did Zhan Tianxiong, who has always been on par with me, become so awesome."

"We each hit the other with one punch; he had internal injuries, but he was fine after resting for two months, while I was directly paralyzed and in a wheelchair."

He sighed: "So it turns out my body had hidden dangers all along."

Huang Feihu's voice trembled: "Brother Ye, is the severe pain in my legs really not caused by gout?"

He had practiced this Feihu Boxing to perfection and was only one level away from reaching the peak of the Mysterious Realm, but who knew that at this very moment, his legs could no longer hold up.

His knees throbbed with severe pain every few days.

Huang Feihu had always thought it was because he was indulgent in his youth, combined with eating delicious seafood, which led to gout and difficulty walking.

Doctors and experts from all walks of life also thought so.

Now that Ye Fan said this, he was astonished; his knees were actually related to the Boxing technique.

Ye Fan stared at Huang Feihu's legs and spoke:

"President Huang does indeed have symptoms of gout, but it is not enough to paralyze your legs."

"The real cause of your illness is that you practiced the Boxing wrong; the blood flows backward, the Qi is cultivated in reverse, and you are about to suffer from Qi deviation."

"It's just that it hasn't reached the final stage yet, and with the cover of gout, you couldn't find the cause for a while."

He threw out another sentence: "President Huang can actually recall carefully, did your ancestors who mastered this Boxing technique all end up in wheelchairs?"

Huang Feihu was stunned.

After thinking for a while, he smiled bitterly: "My father, my grandfather, and an uncle were indeed paralyzed in their later years."

"It's just that I always thought they were just old."

Upon hearing this, Huniu's body shook: "Ah? Will practicing this Boxing really lead to paralysis? Doesn't that mean this Boxing technique is useless?"

Huang Feihu revealed a decisive look: "Huniu, this Boxing technique cannot be practiced anymore."

After being analyzed by Ye Fan, Huang Feihu also saw the fatal flaws in the Boxing technique, so he told Huniu not to practice it anymore.

Everyone has a martial arts fan inside them, and Huang Feihu is no exception; he has always longed to become the world's number one and be worshipped by countless people.

Moreover, he has practiced martial arts for half his life, and giving it up like this, especially since it is an ancestral inheritance, is no less than cutting flesh from his heart.

But compared to his disciples and grandchildren all sitting in wheelchairs, he still hopes that Huniu and the others will be healthier.

Huniu nodded unconsciously.

She didn't want to believe it, but reality was cruel.

Ye Fan smiled and took over the conversation:

"Feihu Boxing does have problems, but there is no need to throw it away."

"I can help you modify the four errors in this Boxing technique."

"After perfecting it, the power of the Boxing technique can be increased by sixty percent, and the problem of damaging the lungs and internal organs can also be solved..."

Huniu and Huang Xuanwu were shocked: "You can modify the Boxing technique?"

Ye Fan looked confused; is it that hard? There are more than a dozen ways to modify it, right?

"Listening to your words is better than reading books for ten years."

Huang Feihu suddenly grabbed Ye Fan's wrist and spoke with a grateful face:

"Today, thanks to the guidance of little brother, Feihu feels enlightened."

"And little brother has also saved countless nephews and nieces of the Martial Alliance, so that Huniu and the others won't practice until they are paralyzed."

"This great kindness, Feihu has no way to repay."

"If little brother doesn't mind, how about we become sworn brothers despite our age difference?"

Sworn brothers?

Brothers?

What is this?

Ye Fan was stunned.

Huniu was stunned.

Huang Xuanwu was also stunned.

"Since Brother Ye doesn't speak, I will take it as your consent."

Huang Feihu held Ye Fan's hand and struck while the iron was hot:

"Come, come, come, there is no better time than today, let's become sworn brothers today."

"With Heaven and Earth as witness, and the sun and moon as proof, we two brothers swear a bond of brotherhood, smearing blood as a covenant..."
