Chapter 1341
Paul looked rather embarrassed.
He was a humble man, but he was also confident of himself and was confident of his gifting and ability.
But when he looked at this one page of the manual, he couldn’t understand anything at all.
The entire page only had one simple step. Deliver a punch.
It didn’t look like anything special, but it also gave off a mysterious feeling. It was hard to describe, but this feeling was intense.
If his own master hadn’t said that this manual was definitely the real deal, he would have suspected that Ethan was trying to bluff him with a fake page.
“Can’t understand it?” Ethan smiled but it was not a mocking or a teasing smile. “Look again.”
With that, Ethan opened up the page and flicked his wrist slightly. The picture on the manual suddenly seemed to come alive.
The picture of the man throwing a punch suddenly changed!
The fists moved up and down and was as quick as lightning. But in an instant, they went back to their original position.
Ethan flicked his wrist gently again and the movement started changing again. But this time, it was completely different from the last time!
“This…”
Paul was completely stunned. What was this method of reading a manual?
“This manual isn’t actually a manual for one particular technique. It’s really the basis of martial arts, and everything can be traced back to this. Even though it’s just a boxing technique manual, you can also see traces of palm techniques and even kicking techniques in it,” explained Ethan. “But as for how to actually read it, well, everyone has a different method, and everyone has a different thought process, so they don’t see the same thing.”
This was really good stuff!
And it was a really deep and profound thing!
How could Ethan bear to let others see something that formed the basis of so many techniques?
Paul found it difficult to believe. It wasn’t like he hadn’t seen altruistic people before, but he had really never seen someone like Ethan.
“Ethan’s heart is as magnanimous as the ocean and his worldview is greater than anything you imagine. This manual might be a precious treasure to other people, but it might not be to him,” sighed Paul’s master quietly.
If these old men hadn’t gathered here and seen Ethan do this for themselves, they wouldn’t have believed it either.
This was something that other people dreamt of owning and treated as a great treasure, but Ethan was so casual about it.
Ethan smiled and looked at everyone else.
Everyone wanted to see the manual for themselves too, but only the winner had this privilege.
They were all still standing around and felt helpless when they heard Paul say that he couldn’t understand it.
If even a highly skilled fighter like Paul couldn’t understand the manual, then the rest of them probably couldn’t.
But the expression on Paul’s face had changed earlier, so they all felt that Paul must have understood something. He was now deep in thought and was in a daze.
“Since everyone wants to have a look, then I can make this page available for public viewing!” Ethan suddenly declared loudly. “Everyone can come and have a look, and everyone can try to understand something that’s suitable for yourselves.”
There was an uproar in the crowd immediately after he said this.
Public viewing?
Ethan was definitely nuts.
Didn’t he know what this was?
This was the Extreme Fist Technique Manual!
“Martial arts stem from the same origin, and no matter how much they vary, they don’t stray far from its roots. If you study this manual intently, you’re bound to learn something. But everyone learns something different, and everyone needs a different amount of time.”
After Ethan said this, he looked at Ivan and passed the page to him.
“I’ll keep this page inside the academy. Anyone who’s a student here can go ahead and study it.”
“Sure.” Ivan took the page and nodded seriously.
Ethan didn’t say anymore and turned to leave.
Suddenly everybody was crowding around Ivan.
