Chapter 1414 - 1413: Shaolin Dragon Claw Hand

"Then how come I didn't see Master survive the trial?" Wukong blinked his innocent eyes and asked curiously!

"How old are you anyway? And how old is your master? Your master passed the trial a long time ago. If you don't believe it, ask Lin Fan!" Kong Jing said!

Wukong hastily turned his head to look at Lin Fan with an inquiring expression!

Lin Fan looked at Wukong's innocent expression, really couldn't bear to deceive him. But seeing Kong Jing winking at him desperately, Lin Fan nodded with a guilty conscience, "Yeah! Your master passed the trial a long time ago!"

"Wow! Really? Can I go through the trial too?" Wukong asked excitedly!

"Of course you can! If you go through the trial now, your future power level will be unprecedented and unrepeatable!" Kong Jing replied hastily!

"Uncle Master, I want to go through the trial too!" Wukong hastily pleaded!

"Alright, alright, alright! I didn't expect my young nephew to have such high enlightenment, going through the trial so early. Come on, recite with your uncle, 'Meat and wine pass through the gut, Buddha keeps them in heart'!" Kong Jing clasped his hands together, putting on a solemn look!

"Meat and wine pass through the gut, Buddha keeps them in heart!"

Wukong hurriedly imitated Kong Jing's look and recited!

"Come! Let's eat!"

As soon as the words fell, Kong Jing grabbed the chopsticks and started gobbling up the food!

Wukong picked up a piece of pig's head meat, hesitated at the edge of his mouth for a long time, then gritted his teeth and stuffed it into his mouth!

As Wukong chewed, he showed an expression of great enjoyment and said, "Wow, Uncle Master, this pig's head meat tastes really good. I didn't expect the trial to be such a pleasurable thing!"

"Come, Little Wukong, have a drink. It'll make the trial smoother!" Kong Jing opened a bottle of beer and handed it to Wukong!

"Okay!"

Without hesitation, Wukong accepted the beer handed over by Kong Jing!

"Cheers!"

Kong Jing laughed heartily, grabbed the bottle, and took a big gulp!

Wukong took a small sip, then stuck out his tongue and said, "Why is this beer so bitter!"

"Only those who endure the greatest hardship can become the best. Did you think going through the trial was so simple?" Kong Jing continued to bluff with a sincere look!

"Oh! Alright! I'll drink!"

Convinced by Kong Jing's deception, Wukong believed it all, and downed a bottle of beer in one go!

Although beer doesn't have as high an alcohol content as liquor, Wukong was still young and hadn't drunk before. Once he finished that bottle, his face turned red, and he staggered, nearly falling over!

Lin Fan watched and laughed in his heart, this Little Wukong, was truly tricked onto Kong Jing's pirate ship!

The meal lasted until midnight before it ended, with all the alcohol purchased being finished by Kong Jing. His drinking ability was truly remarkable, showing no signs of dizziness, while Wukong, after being fed a bottle and a half of beer, leaned against Lin Fan's shoulder and dozed off, tipsy!

Afterwards, Kong Jing dug a pit and buried all the 'stolen goods' before leaving the back mountain!

...

The next morning, just at the break of dawn, Lin Fan was startled awake by a series of "Haa! Haa!" sounds from the courtyard!

Upon waking, Lin Fan lit a cigarette, took a puff, then walked to the door and opened it. In the courtyard, a group of Closed-Door Disciples from the Shaolin Temple were practicing martial arts!

These disciples, after countless sessions of cooperation, moved with the fluidity of flowing water, exceptionally coordinated and incredibly fast!

The Shaolin Temple boasts eighteen types of martial arts, skillfully demonstrating various weapons, and even their barehanded techniques are quite accomplished. Many martial arts have indeed evolved from Shaolin, or have drawn inspiration from it!

That's why there's the saying, 'All martial arts under heaven originate from Shaolin!'

Lin Fan took a deep drag of his cigarette and was just about to flick the butt to the ground when a man suddenly approached him!

The man, looking about fifty, wore the robes of the Shaolin Temple, and his loose clothes barely concealed his robust and powerful physique!

"Morning, Lin Junior Brother!" the man greeted Lin Fan with a smile!

"Who are you?" Lin Fan asked, full of curiosity!

"I am the eighteenth disciple under Abbot Kongxu, though other senior brothers have passed away. Now I am the oldest among the Wukong generation, my name is Wuxuan!" Wuxuan introduced himself with a smile!

"Senior Brother Wuxuan!" Lin Fan courteously clasped his hands in greeting!

"I didn't expect Lin Junior Brother to wake so early!" Wuxuan smiled!

"I was awakened by the noise outside. I must say, Shaolin Martial Arts are truly an eye-opener!" Lin Fan said with a smile!

"I've heard that Master Lin Fan has extraordinary skills, said to be the pinnacle of the young generation in Huaxia Martial Arts. I've always wanted to spar with Lin Junior Brother. What do you think, Lin Junior Brother?"

Wuxuan's face was full of smiles, without any hostility, just the simple intent to spar!

Coincidentally, Lin Fan was also very curious about the martial arts of the Shaolin Temple, and naturally didn't want to miss this opportunity, so he simply said, "If that's the case, then I'll spar with Senior Brother Wuxuan for a few moves!"

"Lin Fan Junior Brother is indeed straightforward!" Wuxuan laughed!

And when everyone heard that Lin Fan was going to spar with Wuxuan, the disciples practicing martial arts immediately stopped their actions, spread out to make room, and watched with expectant expressions!

Lin Fan took off his jacket and walked to the center of the courtyard, facing Wuxuan!

The battle hadn't begun, yet an atmosphere of solemnity had already enveloped the whole scene!

"Who do you think… will win?"

"I think it should be Senior Brother Wuxuan, after all, he's been practicing martial arts longer than Lin Fan Junior Brother!"

The Shaolin disciples were unanimously rooting for Wuxuan!

"Ha~"

At that moment, Wuxuan shouted, quickly moved towards Lin Fan!

Wuxuan's speed was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, he reached Lin Fan's front. His fingers curled like two dragon claws, and with a wave of his arm, they immediately aimed at Lin Fan's head!

"It turned out to be the famous Shaolin Dragon Claw Hand from the Shaolin Temple!"

Lin Fan furrowed his brows, not daring to be careless, slid his foot, and easily dodged Wuxuan's first attack!

However, Wuxuan's reaction speed was extremely fast, as soon as his move missed, his other hand swung forward, the left Dragon Claw sweeping towards Lin Fan's neck!

"Siii~" "Siii~"

The sharp fingertips cut through the air with a crisp sound, harshly piercing through the ether!

Lin Fan urgently dodged again, but Wuxuan attacked once more!

Knowing that simply dodging wouldn't work, because Wuxuan's strength was on par with his own and his speed was not inferior, Lin Fan couldn't easily outpace him!

Immediately, Lin Fan clenched his fist, aimed at the incoming 'Dragon Claw', and launched a powerful punch, tearing through the void!

There was no particular technique to Lin Fan's punch, it was straightforward, domineering, like a fierce cannonball!
