Chapter 278 Techniques for Dissipating Force and the Teaching of Martial Arts

Time slipped by quietly amidst the joyful shouts.

Snorlax's aerial acrobatic performance is coming to an end.

Watching them toss the actors up and catch them is always a source of surprise.

Because these Snorlaxes were able to perfectly utilize the technique of deflecting force.

Even Professor Oak and Rondo discovered this secret after a little careful observation.

It's fair to say that their current elite-level strength, and the ability to utilize such techniques, is already quite remarkable.

"Children, after the performance, you can ask the circus ringmaster for advice. If possible, have the Pokémon learn this ingenious method of deflecting force from Snorlax."

This might be helpful for your Pokémon battles in the future.

Professor Oak's appreciative voice rang out behind Xuan Mingtian and the others.

"Doctor, what's this force-reducing technique? What is it? Why can't I see it?"

Such a bizarre and somewhat ignorant statement—no need to guess, it's definitely Bai Wu's voice.

Even Yang Bin and Xiao Gang, who were standing nearby, couldn't help but nod in agreement.

Hearing this answer, Professor Oak could only shake his head and smile wryly.

He thought to himself, "Indeed, apart from Xiao Zhulan who is a little older, the others are just little kids around six years old, two of them even younger, and one is still an infant."

To make them see the way the Snorlaxes absorbed the force when catching the actors in mid-air was incredibly difficult.

I just don't know...

When he was halfway through his thought, our little brat Xuan Mingtian immediately refuted Xiao Gang and the others with his cute yet somewhat childishly straightforward remarks.

"Professor Oak, I saw it. Stop making things up."

Looking at the other person's somber expression, which was tinged with a sense of sudden enlightenment.

Xuan Mingtian probably guessed that the doctor thought they were too young to notice anything serious.

"Doctor, Xiao Gangbin, let me tell you, this kind of force-dissipating technique is indeed something you can learn after the performance."

But in the future, when your martial arts skills have reached a certain level, I will also let you learn this technique of deflecting force.

Moreover, haven't you noticed after all this time that the Tai Chi I've taught you emphasizes the technique of deflecting force and generating power, which can be summarized as using four ounces to deflect a thousand pounds?

However, neither you nor I have yet mastered our martial arts skills.

Upon hearing Xuan Mingtian's words, both the little kids and Uncle Xiao and the others fell into a brief moment of contemplation.

Those who practice Tai Chi may not know the meaning of "using four ounces to deflect a thousand pounds".

However, during their practice sessions, they also discovered a subtle aspect of this martial art: the requirement for deflecting and generating force.

Professor Oak's eyes lit up after hearing Xuan Mingtian's words.

Because he knew that the Xiao family, along with Chunxiaqiudongxiyue and the others, would get up early every morning without fail to practice their martial arts, rain or shine.

According to their description, this is the martial art taught by Xuan Mingtian.

It is said that it can not only strengthen people's bodies, but also teach elves to improve their close combat abilities.

Although Professor Oak himself was very envious and curious, he knew that this martial art could be considered a closely guarded secret.

Only those who are truly Xuan Mingtian's subordinates or family members, or those who live under the same roof, can learn from him.

Therefore, he gave up his desire to secretly learn it. After all, he saw them practicing this kind of martial art every day.

The knowledgeable Professor Oak knew that each of these martial arts techniques could be used to establish a school of thought in this world.

Practicing without permission is not only a matter of personal morality, but it can also create cracks in the friendly relationship between the two parties.

"Xiao Tian, ​​what you said makes sense, but have you considered starting your own sect and taking on disciples?"

Faced with such a blunt question, Xuan Mingtian rolled his eyes helplessly and said, "Doctor, our training emphasizes practicing in the coldest days of winter and the hottest days of summer..."

As soon as he said this, his friends, including Jun Shaen and Zhu Lan, booed him repeatedly.

"Ahem~ Can you give me some face? I finally managed to show off in front of Professor Oak."

You know, I'm still a child myself. The most important thing for children is to go to bed early and wake up late; this helps with their physical development.

Needless to say, the rest is self-evident, since everyone knows that Xuan Mingtian, that little brat, is only responsible for teaching martial arts.

Getting him to get up early every day to practice is really just a matter of weather.

When the weather is nice, I'll practice a bit depending on my mood. When the weather is bad, forget about practicing; just getting up on time is already a good achievement.

Such arrogant and fact-distorting statements are unacceptable.

Jun Shaen could no longer bear it and gently tapped Xuan Mingtian's forehead with her delicate hand: "You think you're so full of twisted logic? Believe me or not, I'll make you get up before seven in the morning every day."

Seeing the two playing around, Professor Oak inexplicably showed a smile like that of an aunt.

He was secretly pleased: "See? Finally, someone can teach this little brat a lesson. Otherwise, he always acts like he's the boss, which is just asking for trouble."

Actually, what the doctor didn't know was that if all of Xuan Mingtian's trump cards were added together, he really would be second only to the heavens.

After a while of playing around, Xuan Mingtian straightened up and answered the question: "Doctor, I have thought about starting my own sect. But it's not possible now, not to mention I'm still a child."

The time I spend practicing martial arts, the instruction I receive, and the skill I develop are beyond what I can imagine at this stage.

You should know that all the martial arts I teach require one or two years for even those with exceptional talent to learn and comprehend. Even those with high talent need four, five, or six years.

At the same time, the martial arts skills taught are far superior to those of Taekwondo and Karate.

Besides, I'm only at a mediocre level myself. If I were to open a martial arts school before I've even mastered the skills, it would be an insult to this ancient martial art.

Professor Oak felt a moment of disorientation upon hearing Xuan Mingtian's serious words.

He never expected that learning this unknown martial art (which had never appeared in the Elf World) would take so long.

It's worth noting that members of the Ooki family also practice Taekwondo or Karate.

Without exception, after studying at the martial arts school for half a year or a year, they have already learned most of it.

The professor just didn't know that these were things like Taekwondo and Karate.

It was merely a tiny fraction of the ancient Chinese martial arts techniques that those small countries, like South Korea and Japan, had picked up in Xuan Mingtian's previous life.

Therefore, when it comes to the ancient martial arts and martial arts taught, the karate of this elf world is truly inferior.

The only things that can be compared to it in any way are probably the ninja school and the long-standing local martial arts.
