Although Qi Qingfei's congested lung meridian was unblocked, Chen Xiao's brow remained furrowed.
"Don't thank me yet. I'm asking you, have you sparred with anyone recently?"
Qi Qingfei shook her head and denied, "No."
Chen Xiao became more confused, "Then why do you have such severe internal injuries?"
Qi Qingfei said with a distressed face, "I haven't suffered any major injuries since I was young, Senior Chen. Will this illness recur?"
Chen Xiao said in a deep voice, "If the root cause cannot be found, it is very likely."
"Ah?"
Qi Qingfei was about to cry again,
"Then how can I practice martial arts in the future?"
Chen Xiao asked, "What does it have to do with practicing martial arts?"
Qi Qingfei explained with a worried expression.
"Senior Chen, my reaction was the strongest when I was practicing before. Sometimes it even hurt so much that I couldn't practice."
"If this continues, I'm afraid I'll never reach the Qi realm in my life!"
Upon hearing her words, Chen Xiao's eyes lit up.
"Qingfei, practice the martial arts you usually learn for me now!"
Qi Qingfei immediately began to practice.
She thought that Chen Xiao might give her some pointers, and then she might break through the Qi realm earlier.
As Qi Qingfei displayed her martial arts with every punch and kick, Chen Xiao's brow deepened.
Qi Qingfei's moves were grand and powerful, fierce and unyielding.
How could this be the martial art for a girl? I really don't know what Qi Tianhu was thinking!
"Stop, stop, stop, don't continue practicing."
Qi Qingfei had only practiced halfway when Chen Xiao called a halt.
Qi Qingfei stopped, looking bewildered.
Chen Xiao said, "The problem has been found. It's with this set of martial arts. If you want to live a few more years, don't practice it anymore!"
Qi Qingfei was full of confusion, "Senior Chen, are you kidding me?"
Chen Xiao raised his eyebrows, "Why would I kid you?"
"Your martial arts moves are too yang and fierce. Even men practicing them would damage their internal meridians."
"Women's physiques are inherently yin and gentle. The damage of this technique to women's bodies will increase exponentially."
Hearing this explanation, Qi Qingfei was dumbfounded.
She naturally believed Chen Xiao's words.
But precisely because of this, it made her even more troubled.
"This way, I'm afraid I'll never break through to the Qi realm in my life."
Seeing her pitiful appearance, Chen Xiao felt a pang of sympathy and said, "Practice it again, and I'll help you modify some of the moves. Maybe it can avoid the damage."
"Really? That's great!"
Qi Qingfei was overjoyed and began to practice again.
Chen Xiao watched while dismantling and improving each move.
He eliminated the damage to the body without affecting the power of this martial art.
This seemed difficult, but for Chen Xiao, it was nothing.
It was like someone who had mastered the most intricate and complex machinery.
It would be incredibly simple for him to assemble and improve a car.
After Qi Qingfei finished practicing once, Chen Xiao had a good grasp of it, and he asked Qi Qingfei to practice a second time.
During this process, Chen Xiao began to teach her his modified moves.
Qi Qingfei was delighted.
Because she found that after Chen Xiao modified the moves, she could perform them more smoothly, as naturally as her own arms and fingers.
"Hmm, very good, you need to exert force here!"
"Yes, bend your elbow and inhale, lean your body back, and raise your forearm a little higher."
...
Chen Xiao instructed Qi Qingfei in her practice, secretly sighing at her high comprehension.
She could remember and understand it completely after he only said it once.
Just as Qi Qingfei was practicing with great enthusiasm, a sudden roar came.
"Qi Qingfei, what are you doing? Who told you to practice like this!"
Outside the door, a middle-aged rough man with a stubbly beard strode in angrily.
"Master! You're here!"
Qi Qingfei called out in surprise, as if she hadn't noticed the rough man's angry face, and pulled his arm, saying,
"Master, I have good news for you. Senior Chen helped me modify my boxing technique just now, and the effect has improved a lot. Would you like to try it?"
At this moment, Da Jun also followed in.
Chen Xiao leaned over and quietly asked Da Jun, "Da Jun, who is this person?"
Da Jun replied cautiously, "Reporting to Senior Chen, this person's name is Huo Yingjun. He is a friend of Master Hu and the master of the young lady."
Then he lowered his voice and added, "Senior Chen, this person is very petty."
Chen Xiao nodded, immediately understanding Da Jun's intention.
As expected, Huo Yingjun walked towards Chen Xiao angrily.
He shouted loudly, "Kid, did you arbitrarily change my moves?"
Chen Xiao nodded, "That's right, it was me."
"Kid, you have the audacity! What qualifications do you have to arbitrarily change my Northern Sect Huo Family Fist?"
Huo Yingjun was so angry that his eyes were about to burst. Anyone who didn't know would think Chen Xiao had dug up his ancestral grave!
Chen Xiao said lightly, "The martial art is flawed and injures people when practiced. Why can't I change it?"
"You're talking nonsense!"
Huo Yingjun cursed loudly,
"My Northern Sect Huo Family Fist has been passed down to me for thirty-six generations, with a history of several hundred years. You say it's wrong just because you say so?"
Chen Xiao retorted sharply:
"Don't you know in your heart if it's wrong? Have any of the inheritors of your Huo Family Fist lived past sixty? Let alone others, haven't you yourself been deeply harmed by it?"
Chen Xiao was also very helpless.
Some people are like this. Relying on their ancestors' greatness, they live on the blessings of their ancestors.
They always talk about their ancestors. What's the difference between such people and useless people?
Huo Yingjun's face turned red and white, clearly guilty because Chen Xiao had hit the mark.
But he still stubbornly said, "The Northern Sect Huo Family Fist is like this. Since you have cultivated it, you must be prepared to die early!"
Chen Xiao snorted coldly:
"I won't stop you if you want to die, but you can't harm others to die with you. Qi Qingfei is so young! If she continues to practice like this, she will die within half a year!"
"Can you bear this responsibility?"
Huo Yingjun was too angry to speak, and finally raised his fist.
"Little brat, stop talking nonsense, come and spar with me! I'll let you know what Huo Family Fist is today!"
Chen Xiao snorted dismissively, "Not everyone can spar with me. You? You're not worthy!"
"Oh, Master, Senior Chen, stop arguing. Can't we sit down and talk about it!"
Qi Qingfei was extremely anxious.
She respected and feared both of them greatly. She didn't know who to help or who not to help.
Huo Yingjun thought, I would love to sit down and talk, but this kid is sharp-tongued, and I can't argue with him!
Fists are still more effective.
He sneered, "Kid, stop talking nonsense. If you have balls, let's go out and spar!"
Da Jun shook his head helplessly. It seemed he had to step in to mediate.
He didn't care that Huo Yingjun liked to cause trouble on weekdays.
But he absolutely couldn't do it today. He couldn't let his important matters be delayed because of him.
He cleared his throat and said loudly, "Master Huo, you are both friends of Master Hu. Let's each take a step back, and let this matter go!"
"Moreover, don't underestimate Senior Chen. The solitary wolf who swallowed the heavens, Wu Dingbang, died by his hand!"
