Chapter 34 Soft and Hard Style

Smack!

Smack!

Shijima Gorou stripped off his upper clothes, revealing his broad and solid back muscles.

Each time he got into a stance, he took a deep breath.

Two assistants would swing wooden sticks, beating his back and sides.

Or they would forcefully kick his thighs and shinbones.

His skin quickly became patches of red and purple.

Yet Shijima Gorou remained totally still.

After exhaling loudly, he continued into the next stance.

His muscles were as tough as iron, seemingly insensible to any pain.

Fang Cheng stood by watching.

Through several days of watching instructional DVDs and exploring related knowledge,

he knew that what Shijima Gorou was practicing was the Soft and Hard Style's Three Battle Forms of karate.

In Xia Country's traditional martial arts, it is called the Striking Power Technique, and in other Japanese martial arts styles, it's known as Hard Body Skill.

The Three Battle Forms belong to the "Hard Type" of the Soft and Hard Style.
