Both Ma Yu and Qin Fang didn't look too fondly upon Su Yang. Qin Fang was sowhat better, at most furrowing his brows. He felt that Su Yang seed particularly indifferent towards him, perhaps because he had stolen the lilight in front of the seniors.
But Ma Yu, clearly overflowing with youthful vigor, and not being entirely of the Martial World, didn't bother with such considerations. The Divine Doctor Ma Family held a special status in the Martial World because of their courage, and Ma Yu wore his displeasure openly on his face.
"With Senior Tian's cultivation, isn't he stronger than him?"
Ma Yu couldn't help but ask this, voicing the question Qin Fang had wanted to ask.
Tian Youzhi was quite strong, already a Level 5 Expert. Qin Fang felt he probably wasn't his match, but then he cast a Scouting Skill at Su Yang and determined that he was also a Level 5 Expert. Thus, their strengths should be on the sa level.
"I'm a bit weaker than him..."
Although Tian Youzhi was vocally unimpressed by Su Yang, when Ma Yu asked him, he reluctantly admitted this. From this, it was clear that Tian Youzhi could both hold and let go of his pride, a trait Qin Fang found admirable.
"The Eight Extres Fist is an incredibly powerful martial art, consisting of fierce short-range punching techniques, known for its unparalleled ferocity and explosive power. There's an ancient saying: 'With Tai Chi, literature pacifies the world; with Eight Extres Fist, martial arts stabilize Qian Kun.' Especially the killer technique of the Eight Extres Fist, the Mountain Lean, is extrely formidable! Our Wu Family's Tiger Fist and Uncle Master Cai's Cannon Fist are considered extrely fierce styles, but if faced with the Eight Extres Fist's Mountain Lean, aside from the Wu Family's secret technique Tiger's Rush that can compete with it, ordinary moves tend to be weaker..."
Tian Youzhi briefly explained this to Ma Yu while Qin Fang listened attentively on the side.
When it ca to Eight Extres Fist, although Qin Fang wasn't too familiar with it, he wasn't unfamiliar either. It's a commonly seen martial art among those who practice martial arts, but for most, it's simply a way to strengthen the body, similar to Tai Chi.
The true essence of Eight Extres Fist wasn't taught lightly. It was truly a formidable martial art. For example, Elder Niu, Niu Zhensheng, his cultivation far surpassing Old Master Wu and Master Cai, owed much to his practice of the Eight Extres Fist.
The Eight Extres Fist, unlike the Xingyi Fist, doesn't have as many factions like the Xingyi Twelve Branches. The Eight Extres Fist's finishing move, Mountain Lean, is a universal technique. The real difference lies in its application.
Unquestionably, Elder Niu's lineage possessed extraordinary skills, and Su Yang's cultivation was quite impressive, allowing him to defeat contemporaries and earn the title of One of the Tian Nan Four Shows, greatly honoring his sect.
The Tian Nan Four Shows was not a title Su Yang and his peers claid for themselves, but rather, an honorary aura imposed on them by enthusiastic mbers of the Martial World.
In the beginning, they were all quite humble and modest, assuming a deanor of being unworthy of such accolades. However, as their strength grew, the situation changed completely, and this title gradually beca a badge of arrogance for them.
In the younger generation of the Martial World, there might be so whose strength is comparable, but they're not as young; others may be the sa age, but their strength is obviously weaker.
In such a comparison, these four individuals undoubtedly stand out.
Furthermore, the fact that each of their masters is an old and renowned figure in the Martial World also imperceptibly elevated their status, increasingly solidifying their standing among young experts.
It can be said that, by now, many well-established and famous experts might have greater strength, but they can't compare to the fa of these four.
And among the Tian Nan Four Shows, Su Yang is undoubtedly one of the best.
He was a disciple of the Eight Extres Fist Grandmaster Niu Zhensheng, known among martial artists since his youth. By the age of sixteen, he had already made a na for himself, and at twenty, he stepped into the Martial World, achieving substantial fa in just four years. Many people praised Elder Niu as a teacher who could recognize talent and produce outstanding disciples, which to so extent softened the criticism that he 'judged people accurately but couldn't teach good disciples.'
As Tian Youzhi spoke, Qin Fang simply listened quietly. When the topic turned to the Wu Family's Tiger Fist and the Cai Family's Cannon Fist, Qin Fang couldn't help but straighten up, even though these two styles had no advantage against Elder Niu's lineage of the Eight Extres Fist.
The reason was simple: the Cai Family's Cannon Fist was a fierce martial art, its secret techniques being special ways of exerting force, allowing strength to be used more cunningly. Similarly, the Wu Family's Tiger Fist was just as powerful, its only superiority over the Cai Family's Xingyi Fist being the secret technique Tiger's Rush.
Qin Fang had already deeply felt the power of Tiger's Rush, which was extrely dominant.
If Tiger's Rush could clash with Elder Niu's Eight Extres Fist Mountain Lean, it also proved Su Yang's strength from another perspective. Qin Fang had experienced Tiger's Rush at Chen Liang's Level 4, and it had nearly cost him his life. Even if Qin Fang himself had ascended to Level 4, facing Chen Liang's Tiger's Rush again, he didn't believe his chances of survival would be much improved.
If Level 4 Chen Liang was already that formidable, then what about Level 5 Su Yang?
Undoubtedly, Level 5 Su Yang would be far more terrifying than Level 4 Chen Liang, even much more so.
Having understood this, Qin Fang had a more intuitive feeling of the reputation of the Tian Nan Four Shows. They truly did not gain their dominance among the younger generation of experts for nothing."You're Qin Fang?"
What Qin Fang hadn't expected was that without him initiating anything, Su Yang was the one to co to him first, and the tone, deanor, and expression he used were exactly the kind that made one look highly deserving of a slap—almost as though soone owed him millions.
"Su Yang, what do you an by this?"
Tian Youzhi's face changed slightly. Although his cultivation was not on par with Su Yang's, it certainly didn't an that he was really afraid of Su Yang, especially since this was Wu Family territory, his ho ground. He couldn't possibly show any weakness and imdiately responded with a brusque retort.
"Loser!"
However, Su Yang wasn't showing much of an expression as he glanced sideways at Tian Youzhi and simply spit out these few words, instantly causing Tian Youzhi's face to flush with an angry crimson.
"You…"
Enraged to his core, Tian Youzhi had indeed suffered defeat at Su Yang's hands before, which was why he admitted he couldn't better Su Yang. Even years later, he still wasn't confident about defeating Su Yang.
"Senior Brother Tian, let handle this… that's right, I am Qin Fang. May I ask for your noteworthy na?"
Qin Fang stepped forward, pulling back the fuming Tian Youzhi before arrogantly turning to address Su Yang.
In truth, with the scene getting stirred up like this, anyone could tell that Su Yang was looking for trouble with Qin Fang and that he was quite arrogant and disrespectful. This didn't sit well with Qin Fang, and with such an attitude, Qin Fang naturally had no intention of showing any courtesy.
His response was rather interesting; Su Yang's otherwise handso face suddenly looked surprised, then bewildered, and finally turned an iron blue.
Despite Su Yang's initial disinterest in approaching their trio from afar, he was still aware of the other three people pointing and whispering about him. He knew they were discussing him, so as one of the finest young experts of the Southern Martial Arts World and one of the Tian Nan Four Shows, Su Yang certainly wanted them to first admire his renown. That way, when he made his entrance, his presence would be much more imposing than his opponents'.
But he hadn't expected Qin Fang, younger and weaker than him, and yet more doted upon by the seniors, to show him such disrespect.
Qin Fang obviously knew his na, as even Tian Youzhi had just called him Su Yang right to his face, yet Qin Fang acted as if he hadn't heard at all and ca back with that response. It was nothing short of a slap in the face, a slap to Su Yang's face!
Su Yang's complexion changed dramatically, prompting a surprised pause from both the angry Tian Youzhi and Ma Yu, who were both brimming with discontent. They soon couldn't help but beam with pleasure, looking at Qin Fang with admiration shining in their eyes.
"Ahem… Junior Martial Brother Qin, you may not be aware of this!"
Su Yang was effectively silenced by Qin Fang's retort. To introduce himself now would an a loss of face, but to remain silent would look like a lack of magnanimity. Just as he was about to speak, Tian Youzhi suddenly interrupted, blocking him again.
"This senior brother here is Su Yang, a closed-door disciple of Elder Niu. Despite his young age, his cultivation is truly astonishing. Having earned the title of one of the Four Tiansouthern Shown, he is one of the most outstanding experts among our Southern Martial Arts World's younger generation…"
Tian Youzhi's words sounded so genuine that no matter how one listened, it seed like he was singing Su Yang's praises. Even Su Yang gave it so thought and couldn't detect anything odd, eventually sending a 'good, you know your place' look to Tian Youzhi while a proud smile appeared on his face. He unconsciously raised his chin a little, as if it was only right for him to accept the admiration of his peers.
That look was wasted. Tian Youzhi was only looking at Qin Fang and didn't pay any attention to him. He was still seething inside—do him a favor? What a joke… Just wait until you're crying!
Su Yang didn't mind it, though. Compared to Qin Fang, who was favored by several seniors, Tian Youzhi might have been sowhat weaker, but he still didn't catch Su Yang's eye.
Unfortunately for Su Yang, before he could savor his happiness for too long, Qin Fang spoke up. However, the tone of Qin Fang's words sounded rather off.
"Tian Nan Four Shows? Never heard of them. The Qingcheng Four Shows, on the other hand, I do know. The 'Ping Sha Luo Yan Style' with the butt sticking out..."
Splutter~~
Unquestionably, both Tian Youzhi and Ma Yu couldn't help but burst out in laughter simultaneously.
Even though they had anticipated Qin Fang would not be courteous to Su Yang, they hadn't expected him to co out with such a remark right off the bat. It was brutally harsh.
