Just then, a figure emerged. It was a woman, gazing at Lu Yin with astonishment. Her features were plain, and she was even somewhat burly. Women like her were rare in the cultivation world, especially with hands covered in calluses. "Are you Xuan Qi?"
Lu Yin had known for a while that someone was watching him. Xu Xiang Yin hadn't appeared for some reason, and this woman, like Xu Xiang Yin, was a Progenitor. She was probably Reincarnation Space-Time's representative at the Six Directions Dojo.
"Greetings, Senior Shi Jiao."
"Greetings, Senior Shi Jiao."
Everyone bowed in unison.
Lu Yin hurriedly followed suit. "This junior is Xuan Qi. Greetings, Senior Shi Jiao."
Shi Jiao appeared in front of Lu Yin and looked him over with a strange glint in her eyes. "What are your thoughts on the first and second hands of Stone Gate?"
Lu Yin respectfully replied, "The first hand emphasizes force, and the second hand emphasizes transferring force."
"What about the third hand?"
"The third hand releases force."
"How do you release force?"
"By releasing it with the fifth variation of the third hand."
"Which move among the first three hands has the greatest power?"
"The fifth move of the first hand."
The people around them were baffled. They couldn't understand what he was saying. Surely the most powerful move should be the third hand? And what were all these things about emphasizing force, transferring force, and releasing force? They'd never heard of them. Even when they learned the moves, they merely copied them as they were. Where was this force supposed to come from?
Shi Jiao asked Lu Yin more than a dozen questions in a row, and he answered every one without hesitation.
"You really have mastered the first three hands," Shi Jiao exclaimed.
