How should I put it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xingyi Fist originated from the Song Dynasty Yue Family Spear, evolving from spear to fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It took systematic refinement, improvement, and the introduction of new concepts over tens of generations to finally establish a mature framework for Xingyi Fist in the Qing Dynasty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Counting from the time Iwami Yixin created Iwami Style, it hasn't even been fifty years of development!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Lann is far from achieving the unarmed practice of [Iwami Style], but within less than half a month of practice, even temporarily breaking the constraints of the samurai sword with the technique of [Climbing Carp] is not something any normal person could achieve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Iwami Yixin, observing from the side, suddenly hooked the corner of his mouth after seeing Lann's technique, his smile revealing a sharp impression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the two calm-as-dead ninjas couldn't help but frown a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However you put it, Lann's talent is somewhat shockingly exceptional.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yixin...\" Lady Butterfly's head tilted slightly in the direction of her old friend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How many hours does that kid practice every day?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The [Sword Saint]'s single eye was fixed immovably on the Demon Hunter in the ring, shining frighteningly bright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you're asking this... tsk, aside from the four hours he spends with you, he spends about sixteen hours on [Iwami Style].\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, even Lady Butterfly, usually as calm as still water, couldn't help but turn her head and look at her old friend with surprised eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn't recall Iwami Yixin being the kind of person eager for quick success when teaching others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four hours learning [Light Body Skill], was inherently an exercise with tremendous load. Among past ninja apprentices, many couldn't withstand the breathing methods or the exertion of force, resulting in injuries, disabilities, and even death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lann, after four hours of ninja training... rests for only four hours a day?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do you take him for an iron man?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, his current swordsmanship isn't just due to talent but also diligent practice. No iron man could endure so much...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Iwami Yixin's hand constantly rubbed the sword hilt at his waist, looking eager to try.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"His body is unusual, if my senses are correct... he has two hearts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Two hearts?\" Lady Butterfly immediately understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he indeed has two hearts in his body, such extraordinary vitality makes sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasn't overly surprised either; in Iwami, stranger things happen than 'a person having two hearts'.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Those two hearts give him exceptional vitality and recovery. This is also why he mastered the [Iwami Cross Slash] so quickly. For ordinary people, each practice without mastering the routine or familiarizing oneself with the exertion is a floodgate of physical exhaustion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When teaching at Iwami Castle, I require them to first complete a day's foundational work before attempting [Iwami Cross Slash]. Usually, after this attempt, they're incapable of intense exercise for the rest of the day. But Lann... he practices [Iwami Cross Slash] at least ten times a day.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even with two hearts, this level of physical recovery seems exaggerated. But no matter, he manages to do it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The extraordinary vitality led to extraordinary training duration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Iwami Yixin's eyes, less than half a month of training for Lann's swordsmanship equals about half a year for an average person, in terms of total training volume.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his swordsmanship foundation and talent, mastering a technique of the extraordinary level like [Iwami Cross Slash] is only natural.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like how he can now unleash [Iwami Style] with his fists, is equally natural.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the initial shock and panic, Yamai Diansan quickly forced himself to calm down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being able to strike [Climbing Carp] with his hand didn't scare him; instead, his attacking rhythm became faster and more relentless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can't let him draw the sword... can't give him time to draw the sword!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being able to unleash [Climbing Carp] with just his hands, even if Lann only specializes in this move, he would be unstoppable after drawing the weapon!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yamai Diansan realized this instantly after the panic and formulated his combat tempo based on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——No matter what, Lann must not be allowed to draw his sword!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Based on this tactical thought, Yamai Diansan ceased wide and open slashes, opting instead for more compact, rapid short-distance slashes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet each of his slashes sparked against Lann's clenched right fist, instantly deflected aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His posture, amidst these repeated dense attacks, gradually incorporated more 'sand'.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The advantage of having significantly higher hard power is apparent here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the opponent lets him draw his sword, the fight would end swiftly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the opponent uses speedy slashes to prevent him from drawing... they'd likewise end up having their stance broken by [Iwami Style].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, as Yamai Diansan gritted his teeth and roared out his final strike, Lann smoothly raised his hand like flowing water, and the incoming blade was elegantly repelled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blade seemed like a carp leaping out of water, with the exploding sparks resembling splashing water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Samurai General's sword stance completely collapsed, pitching his body uncontrollably backward, arms wide open, exposing his center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann, whose expression remained calm throughout, then lifted his knee, making a front kick that seemed at odds with his heavy armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boots and legs clad in plated armor were raised high to the waist and abdomen, like a drawn bow waiting to release its arrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that...?\" Lady Butterfly and the Wolf exchanged a glance simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having fought the Inner Mansion ninjas for many years, they recognized this stance at a glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Lonely Shadow Group Ninja Technique Manual: Spear Kick]!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Japanese-style shin guards of bamboo, iron, and leather worn by Yamai Diansan were powerless against Lann's steel-plated boots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The straight shinbone was kicked into an inverted V-shape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ugh ah!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Samurai General fell sideways to the ground, crying out in agony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pain in his shinbone was beyond imagination. He could barely hold his sword now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann looked at the defeated warrior, shook his head, and turned to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But originally voicing his pain loudly, Yamai Diansan became enraged upon seeing this, seemingly forgetting his pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come back! Finish me! Are you mocking me?! This is a deathmatch! Will you not even grant me a warrior's end, bastard?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man's shout carried sorrow and anger that briefly overwhelmed his pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann didn't even turn his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm not a warrior; I don't understand your way. To be honest, 'Bushido' seems ridiculous and stubborn to me. After all, even if you want to keep this so-called 'warrior's dignity' in death, in the past, you could turn a blind eye to the inhumane studies of the Immortal Peak Temple... shouldn't 'dignity' respect oneself and others as well?
