Despite his advanced age, the old man’s punch carried a surprising amount of force. It was impossible to tell that the blow had been delivered by a man over seventy. If it hadn't been for the Tai Chi that had improved Nan Yu's overall physical attributes, that punch would have been quite a lot to handle. To be perfectly honest, had he been the Nan Yu of the past, he would have struggled to dodge it.
As it stood, however, Nan Yu merely smiled, raised his hand, and blocked the blow with what looked like a feather-light movement, gently parrying the old man’s strike to the side. The old man immediately followed up by driving his knee toward Nan Yu’s abdomen. Nan Yu, still smiling, intercepted the thrust with ease. The old man threw another punch, and Nan Yu brushed it aside just as effortlessly.
The old man retreated a few steps, looking at Nan Yu with surprise. These exchanges had happened in the blink of an eye, but to an expert, even a few moves were enough to judge the depth of one's skill.
