Continuous Chain Palm and Eight Trigrams Palm

Tong Yuan could not help looking at Ding Ling.

Ding Ling closed his eyes slightly.

A book immediately condensed on the Library shelf: "Flying Eaves Walking Walls Movement Technique."

In an instant.

Flying Eaves Walking Walls Movement Technique maxed out.

Strength +0.3

Agility +1.2

Constitution +0.3

Strength and Constitution had not increased much.

But Agility had directly increased by more than 1 point! The boost was substantial, causing subtle changes to occur once more in Ding Ling's bones and meridians.

Whoosh!

With every breath, Ding Ling's entire body felt light and airy, as though he could ride the clouds away at any moment.

"That level of Agility!"

Zhao Yun was astonished and envious!

"Could he really have mastered it after just one look? This is the signature skill of burglars! A lost supreme art! Ding Ling couldn't have learned it after seeing it once, could he?"

Tong Yuan was uncertain.

Although he had long accepted that Ding Ling was a Peerless Genius,

when he thought of the hardships he had endured to learn Wall-Scaling back then, his heart still felt faintly sour and bitter.

Alas.

Tong Yuan could not help growing envious as well:

As expected of a Peerless Genius. At this rate, mastering the martial arts of a hundred schools is merely a matter of time!

Whoosh!

Ding Ling immediately began demonstrating the Flying Eaves Walking Walls Movement Technique. It felt as though certain meridians in his legs had been opened. With a slight push from his feet, he shot forward like an arrow loosed from a bow, incomparably swift and fierce!

His entire body seemed like a drifting maple leaf in the air, as though it no longer had any weight.

"So this is a Lightness Skill movement technique?"

Ding Ling was delighted.

"Even a basic Flying Eaves Walking Walls Movement Technique feels like this. I can't imagine what genuine Lightness Skills would be like."

He pushed off hard with both feet, like a galloping warhorse or a fleeing hare on the Grasslands. He raced to the edge of the bamboo grove, kicked off the ground, and actually stepped on the bamboo trunks, taking five or six quick steps upward before charging to a height of roughly six meters!

At that height, Ding Ling could go no farther and could only descend.

Six meters high.

He spun in midair, dispersing the force, then landed lightly. With another kick, he flew back before Tong Yuan and the others like a cannonball leaving its barrel.

He abruptly came to a halt and cupped his hands toward them.

"..."

Zhao Yun looked speechlessly at the heavens.

Zhao Xiaoyu and Zhao Bingxuan wore looks of utter admiration.

Tong Yuan took a deep breath. After calming the turmoil in his heart, he applauded and said,

"Beautiful. That entire sequence flowed as smoothly as drifting clouds and running water, without the slightest obstruction. It is clear that you have completely mastered the Flying Eaves Walking Walls Movement Technique."

The corner of his eye twitched twice as he sighed.

"Though I cannot understand the thought process or cultivation path of a Peerless Genius like you, that does not prevent me from continuing to pass on my arts. Come, let us continue."

Ding Ling had truly shocked him to the point that numb scalp and standing hairs were nowhere near enough to describe even a fraction of the terror in his heart!

Such an extraordinary talent.

He absolutely could not let Ding Ling be taught and nurtured by him alone.

He should recommend him to his other old friends.

That thought grew stronger and stronger.

Tong Yuan decided that once Ding Ling had mastered the martial arts of a hundred schools, he would send him away.

Keeping such an extraordinary talent here would simply be a waste of time!

Ding Ling should spend more of his time figuring out how to break through the barriers of this world and become a true Martial God!

As Tong Yuan thought this, his expectations for Ding Ling rose ever higher.

"Next, I will teach you palm techniques. I have learned five palm techniques. The ones I am best at are Continuous Chain Palm and Eight Trigrams Palm. As for Iron Sand Palm, Lion Gait Palm, and Python Gait Palm, I am not proficient in those three and have only dabbled in them."

As he spoke, he began explaining the profundities and essence of Continuous Chain Palm to Ding Ling, while also demonstrating its moves.

After Ding Ling watched it once,

a book promptly condensed on the Library shelf: "Continuous Chain Palm"!

A moment later.

Continuous Chain Palm maxed out.

Strength +0.9

Agility +0.8

Constitution +0.9

All sorts of profound principles concerning Continuous Chain Palm flowed through his limbs and bones, transforming into an instinct that moved at his will.

Boom!

Ding Ling stood as steady as a pine, his palms striking like lightning. In mere moments, he had thrown seven or eight palm strikes.

Each palm strike sent his force ringing out in succession, the crackling sounds resounding throughout the area!

"He learned it already?!"

Zhao Yun was speechless with shock.

"So strong."

Zhao Xiaoyu and Zhao Bingxuan's admiration had nearly seeped into their bones. Their gazes at Ding Ling were filled with fascination.

"V-very good."

Tong Yuan's hand, which was stroking his beard, trembled slightly.

He was becoming increasingly envious of Peerless Geniuses like this.

It was simply too heaven-defying.

Back when he had learned Continuous Chain Palm, he had practiced until his hands swelled up! Even after a full year of training, he had been unable to reach major mastery!

And Ding Ling?

Don't think about it. Don't compare myself to him, or these old bones of mine might burst from the blow to my confidence!

Tong Yuan did not dwell on it further. Forcefully suppressing the agitation in his heart, he began teaching and explaining Eight Trigrams Palm.

After another single viewing.

Another book successfully condensed on the Library shelf: "Eight Trigrams Palm"!

In an instant.

Eight Trigrams Palm maxed out.

Strength +1

Agility +0.7

Constitution +1

Boom!

Ding Ling's bones crackled. In the unseen depths, it seemed that he had broken through some sort of shackle once again!

As Eight Trigrams Palm reached maximum level, he not only engraved it into his marrow as an instinct,

but his body also seemed to have evolved and advanced.

It became even lighter, like a floating feather.

The sensation was like being reborn, or a butterfly emerging from its cocoon. It brought an indescribable feeling of ease and freedom.

Ding Ling was astonished.
