Empty Palm Strike and White Rainbow Palm
I never expected that winning over Huang Yaoshi would go so smoothly.
Originally, Huang Yaoshi was going to go to Niujia Village in person to find his disciple's remains and bring back his daughter.
When a master needs something, the disciple should do his duty. Lu Chengfeng arranged for a reliable person to handle this matter.
Having finished his business here, Huang Yaoshi should have immediately set off for Mount Zhongnan to help Hong Qigong and Qiu Chuji train their soldiers.
However, he was proud by nature. Although he considered himself lucky to have Quanzhen Sect Hong Qigong as Beggar Gang strategist, Huang Yaoshi was unwilling to be looked down upon or seen as someone who was just there to reap the rewards.
At the same time, from a practical point of view, a new broom sweeps clean, and he does need to suppress those people, so he naturally needs to demonstrate sufficient achievements and strength.
Huang Yaoshi then stayed at the Lu Family Manor.
While using all his knowledge to train the bandits of Taihu Lake in combat methods and battlefield commands, he also studied the Wumu's Testament with Huang Rong.
At the same time, scouts and patrol boats were dispatched to keep a close watch on any movement.
They were just waiting for the convoys and fleets from the Great Song that were transporting grain, military supplies, and other materials to the Jin Kingdom.
Once we've ascertained the situation, we'll Resting to Subdue the Exhausted out in one fell swoop.
With such power and such a feat, Huang Yaoshi was more than qualified to meet Hong Qigong.
Having gained some leisure time while temporarily residing in the Guiyun Manor, he began to teach Ji Boying arts.
"Of all these skills, which one would you like to learn first?"
"I have heard that during the Mount Hua Sword Conference, Emperor Duan used the One Yang Finger, Gang Leader Hong used the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, Ouyang Feng used the Toad Style, and my martial uncle used the Finger Flicking Skill and the Empty Palm Strike. The Four Greats matched."
"Now that I have mastered many superior palm techniques, I want to take it a step further and I want to learn my uncle's Empty Palm Strike first."
Ji Boying explained his plans.
With Hong Qigong's skill, when he unleashed the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, he could send out palm winds that could not allow anyone to enter within a ten-foot radius around him.
But this is only because his palm strike is powerful and his skill is profound, unlike Huang Yaoshi who has a special Empty Palm Strike technique that can split the air.
He has now mastered many superior palm techniques. If he can integrate them, his palm power will be so terrifying that few in the world will be able to rival him.
If one were to learn another technique called the "Empty Palm Strike," and unleash that power, it would be absolutely impossible for anyone to defend against.
Ji Boying was also looking forward to it, wondering if he would have the chance to strike out a dragon with a single palm strike in the future.
"Not bad, you've got a good eye."
Huang Yaoshi stood with his hands behind his back, looking quite pleased with himself.
"Before the Jingkang, this Empty Palm Strike was not considered a particularly remarkable skill. Many famous martial arts masters knew this palm technique that released power outwards."
"However, my splitting Empty Palm Strike is different. The palm force is more solid, the internal energy is circulated more precisely, and the internal energy consumption is correspondingly less."
"Look, there are several Iron Bagua hanging on the door of Chengfeng's room. That's for practicing the Empty Palm Strike. Of course, his skill is still too shallow and his internal strength is too weak, so the power is not very good."
Huang Yaoshi scanned Ji Boying from head to toe, his eyes bright and clear, and nodded repeatedly.
"With your skill level, even your ordinary Empty Palm Strike would be almost as powerful as mine. If you could combine the power of the Heart Severing Palm, Iron Palm Technique, and the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms into one, tsk tsk..."
Huang Yaoshi didn't finish his sentence, but you could already hear the anticipation in his tone.
There are many techniques for Empty Palm Strike in the world, but only the one from Peach Blossom Island is unique.
As Huang Yaoshi spoke, he gave detailed instructions on many aspects of practicing martial arts, such as practicing with the Iron Bagua, which is made of eight loosely arranged and crooked iron pieces; soaking the hands in vinegar; and never putting pressure on the palms before dissipating the power, otherwise the hands would be ruined.
He then personally demonstrated a few moves for Ji Boying.
Two palms, separated by a distance of two zhang, struck out in the air, instantly splitting the two peach trees two zhang away into pieces. The palm force was indeed extremely fierce.
After demonstrating, he explained the details of meridian operation to Ji Boying one by one before turning to leave.
He also plans to continue studying military strategy.
As soon as I turned around, I felt a gust of wind rise to my left and a peach tree as thick as a bowl snapped instantly.
Huang Yaoshi suddenly turned around, his eyes filled with disbelief.
He stared at Ji Boying in disbelief.
"This... how is this possible?"
He quickly stepped forward and grabbed Ji Boying's wrist, looking at her large, calloused hands from side to side.
How did you do that?
"Perhaps it is because the disciple has already practiced many exquisite palm techniques and developed the resilience of his hands, so it is a natural outcome."
Huang Yaoshi didn't know whether to nod or shake his head, and he couldn't figure it out, but it seemed that this was the only explanation.
"Our Peach Blossom Island's Empty Palm Strike is unique and quite different. Even geniuses who can learn other skills at a glance will need to put in some effort when they encounter this Empty Palm Strike. It's not that it's particularly difficult, but rather that these prerequisites require some time to adapt to."
"Now it seems that this is the only explanation: you have already mastered the art of using your palms."
Huang Yaoshi praised it.
As Huang Yaoshi said, Ji Boying didn't actually have any cheat codes.
With his current palm power and profound Daoist Internal Energy, he no longer needs those prerequisites and has already met the basic requirements for practicing the Empty Palm Strike.
Now that I've mastered more skills, the opportunities to use them are becoming increasingly scarce, so I have to use them sparingly.
Having already mastered several of the world's top palm techniques, he was now practicing the Empty Palm Strike, so he naturally had a natural talent for it and didn't need to waste this opportunity to use his cheat code.
"It's a pity that you've only mastered the basic Empty Palm Strike technique, and haven't yet been able to integrate the palm power of the Dragon Subduing Palm, Iron Palm Technique, and Heart Severing Palm into it. Moreover, this palm power can only go straight. I've heard that a hundred years ago, there was a technique called the White Rainbow Palm, which allows the palm power to be turned and rotated at will in the air. I wonder if my martial uncle knows about it?"
Huang Yaoshi looked at the insatiable Ji Boying with a speechless expression.
Not to mention that his skill level is only slightly inferior to the Four Greats of the World, with just this Empty Palm Strike, he could probably be on par with them in a year or two. If he could integrate the power of any one of those three exquisite palm techniques into it, neither he nor Hong Qigong could withstand it.
The sense of urgency in my heart has intensified.
Seeing that Hong Qigong's skills had improved significantly during this period, and that he was about to surpass him, he realized that Hong Qigong's skills had improved so much that he was about to surpass him.
Even a young man as young and brilliant as him would probably only need a few months to figure out some of the tricks of the trade.
If you truly integrate that palm force into the Empty Palm Strike, and unleash a Splitting Dragon Subduing Palm at you from two zhang away, firing one after another like a barrage of cannonballs, how can you possibly deal with that?
It seems I need to put more effort into my martial arts skills; I can't let so many people be so domineering over me.
