Xu Yan: Dragon Subduing Palm Is Truly Unmatched

Li Xuan never expected Xu Yan to ask such a question.

He could only say that it was worthy of someone who could successfully cultivate a made-up technique; their thought processes and focus were indeed different from ordinary people.

However, this question wouldn't stump him!

Immediately, he looked at Xu Yan with a gratified gaze, his face filled with satisfaction for his disciple.

"Disciple, the fact that you can ask this question now shows your comprehension is decent, and you've already glimpsed the path to the Dragon Subduing Palm.

"There's a saying, 'fight poison with poison,' have you heard of it, disciple?

"The Dragon Subduing Palm is similar, using dragons to subdue dragons.

"Dragons are the supreme divine beasts, born with supernatural abilities; how could they be easily subdued?

"And this Dragon Subduing Palm, using dragons to subdue dragons, not only subdues the dragon's body but also its heart, attacking both its form and its will!"

Li Xuan started making things up on the spot.

"Subdue the dragon's body and its heart, attacking both its form and its will?"

Xu Yan was greatly shocked, feeling that the Dragon Subduing Palm was truly profound and unfathomable.

Although he couldn't understand how to subdue the body and the heart, or how to attack the body and the will, it didn't diminish his shock regarding the Dragon Subduing Palm.

He felt incredibly invigorated: "I must master the Dragon Subduing Palm. If I ever encounter a true dragon, I will use this palm to subdue it!"

"Master, disciple understands. Disciple will definitely master the Dragon Subduing Palm and comprehend its True Intent!"

Xu Yan said with determined eyes.

"Good, your master believes in you!"

Li Xuan felt greatly gratified.

"Disciple, remember the incantation for the Dragon Subduing Palm. This is where its True Intent lies. If you can comprehend even a fraction of it, you'll have entered the threshold of the Dragon Subduing Palm. If you comprehend its True Intent, it will become a Martial Dao supernatural ability."

Li Xuan had racked his brains to create this incantation for the Dragon Subduing Palm.

Whether it would work or not depended on Xu Yan himself.

"Disciple will engrave it in his heart!"

Xu Yan said respectfully.

"Listen carefully."

Li Xuan said solemnly, "Dragons possess supernatural abilities and change with the circumstances; their actions awe the world, their fury shocks heaven and earth; angered, they summon wind and thunder, hidden, they are traceless; their strikes span thousands of miles, utmost yang and utmost hardness, nothing is indestructible; when agile, they are soft as water, their changes unpredictable, following the heart whether ascending or descending."

Xu Yan murmured the words, his eyes thoughtful. A flash of inspiration seemed to appear in his mind, and vaguely, he felt he had grasped something.

Yet, he couldn't quite hold onto it.

"Follow your master."

Li Xuan, with his hands behind his back, walked towards the flat area where a Bagua diagram was drawn.

"Yes, Master!"

Xu Yan respectfully followed behind him.

"See this? This is the Bagua!"

Li Xuan pointed to the Bagua diagram on the ground.

"Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen, Dui..."

Li Xuan explained all the knowledge about the Bagua that he could remember to Xu Yan, and also shared some of the theories he had made up, which sounded somewhat mystical and powerful.

"The profound changes of the Bagua are endless. How much you can comprehend depends entirely on you... Movement techniques and footwork can all be understood within the Bagua."

"A master leads the way, but cultivation is up to the individual. You must be good at grasping the fleeting spiritual opportunities. Today, I will teach you the Dragon Subduing Palm and the marvels of the Bagua. Study them well."

After the explanation, Li Xuan said in a deep voice.

"Yes, Master. Disciple will certainly not disappoint you!"

Xu Yan nodded respectfully.

His mind was completely filled with the discourse on the Bagua. The more he thought about it, the more he felt its infinite mystery, believing he could continue to comprehend it indefinitely.

"This is the supreme Martial Dao!"

Xu Yan thought excitedly.

"Arrange your training time yourself. Cooking and feeding the chickens can be done once a day."

Li Xuan pondered for a moment and said.

He had to give his disciple more time to cultivate, rather than wasting it on feeding chickens, growing vegetables, and cooking.

At his current level, he wouldn't have any problems going without food or drink for several days.

Eating once a day was enough.

"Yes, disciple understands!"

Xu Yan said respectfully.

"Mhm, cultivate well."

Li Xuan walked away with his hands behind his back, his steps leisurely.

Returning to the village, he sat down on a chair under the big tree. Li Xuan sighed, wondering if his disciple could successfully cultivate.

He focused his consciousness, trying to probe his golden finger.

But he found nothing.

The golden finger only appeared when Xu Yan made progress in his cultivation and when feedback was received.

"Could it be that my strength is too low, so I can't actively see the golden finger?"

Li Xuan mused inwardly.

"The function of the golden finger should be to make the cultivation techniques I made up theoretically achievable for others to cultivate. Of course, there must be limitations, such as the cultivator's comprehension not being too poor.

"Xu Yan, this foolish disciple, has an incredibly strong imagination and top-tier comprehension, which is why he could cultivate successfully.

"My golden finger should have been activated only after Xu Yan successfully cultivated the techniques I made up. Thankfully, this monstrous talent Xu Yan took me as his Master. Otherwise, I'd be stuck guarding a small village, unable to go anywhere!"

Li Xuan sighed inwardly.

Taking Xu Yan as a disciple back then was truly the wisest decision.

Xu Yan walked a circle following the Bagua, falling into deep thought. In his mind, he seemed to have some vague insights, but he couldn't quite grasp them.

"I'll allocate my cultivation time first. In the morning, I'll cultivate the Dragon Subduing Palm, and in the afternoon, I'll comprehend the Bagua!"

"Today, I'll focus on cultivating the Dragon Subduing Palm."

Thinking this, Xu Yan returned to the hillside where his Master had taught him the Dragon Subduing Palm.

He took a deep breath and suddenly struck out with his palm. Blood Essence erupted, like a scorching torrent, blasting outwards.

"Wrong! This is merely Bloodline Power, not the true Dragon Palm Force!"

Xu Yan frowned, falling into deep thought.

He repeatedly pondered the incantation of the Dragon Subduing Palm in his mind.

"Dragons possess supernatural abilities. A dragon's supernatural ability is naturally fierce and unparalleled. To be fierce, one must be ferocious and resolute, condensing power in an instant...

"My current realm is still low, so I can't demand too much. I should lower my expectations...

"Dragons possess supernatural abilities. How can I unleash palm force like a dragon's supernatural ability?"

Xu Yan entered a state of profound contemplation, forgetting himself and his surroundings.

At a certain moment, legends about true dragons and images of true dragons from storybooks he had read in the past surfaced in his mind.

In an instant, he felt a glimmer of enlightenment.

Boom!

Blood Essence gathered in his palm, and in an instant, the Blood Essence squeezed and condensed together, then he struck out with his palm.

A torrent of Blood Essence with doubled power suddenly blasted into a tree not far away.

Crack!

The tree instantly snapped and collapsed.

"I understand now, how to make the palm force fierce, how to make the palm force leap beyond reason."

At this moment, Xu Yan opened his eyes, a flash of inspiration striking him as he understood how to unleash fierce palm force.

He suddenly puffed out his chest and abdomen, pushing out his palms. The torrent of Blood Essence instantly became incredibly ferocious, blasting out with a roar, its power doubling again!

Boom!

A small pit was blasted into the ground.

"I've finally grasped some of the fundamentals. This is just the beginning. This palm strike of mine is more than double the power of my full-power strike before cultivating the Dragon Subduing Palm. This isn't the limit; it's just the start!"

Xu Yan was greatly invigorated at this moment.

"I've only grasped a bit of the fundamentals, and I can already unleash such powerful palm force. The Dragon Subduing Palm is truly incredibly powerful!"

With this insight, the next step was to consolidate this level of understanding, practice it repeatedly, and then continue to gain further insights and perfect it.
