Li Changfeng was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, "Hall Master of Subduing Dragon!! You... you're not joking, are you! I already have a master, you know that, aren't you?"
The Hall Master of Subduing Dragon smiled slightly upon hearing this, "I know! Who says a person can only have one master? I've had several masters before, what's wrong with that!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng hesitated and said, "That makes sense, but my master... can he agree to that?"
Upon hearing this Hall Master of Subduing Dragon laughed loudly, "Jue Kong! Don't be afraid! I'll talk to him when the time comes!"
Li Changfeng hesitated, thinking to himself, "Oh well! I've already taken Xiao Yuanfeng as my master before, so it won't hurt to take another one this time. Besides, the Hall Master of Subduing Dragon said he would explain it to my master!"
Li Changfeng then cupped his hands in greeting and said, "Greetings, Master!"
Upon hearing this, the Hall Master of Subduing Dragon was overjoyed, "Hahaha! Good, good, good! Get up quickly!"
Li Changfeng scratched his head and asked, "Master, how will you guide me?"
After a moment of contemplation, the Hall Master of Subduing Dragon slowly said, "Come with me to the back mountain of Shaolin first, and I'll check how good your internal energy is!"
Li Changfeng followed the Hall Master of Subduing Dragon to the back mountain. The Hall Master of Subduing Dragon slowly said, "Jue Kong! Try attacking me with your strongest attack!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng nodded, his true energy erupted, and he activated the [Draconic Elephant Prajna] to unleash the third move of the [Vajra Palm of Immense Strength], "Vajra Body Empowerment." A domineering and fierce pale golden true energy slowly condensed around his body, and a demon-subduing halo appeared on his arms.
A massive Vajra figure, eighty feet tall, appeared behind him and then attached itself to Li Changfeng's body. It immediately emitted a dazzling light, its entire body turning a golden-bronze color, with faint illusory runes appearing on its surface.
Behind him, the astonishing power of the seven dragons and seven elephants was revealed, and with his own strength of 40,000 jin, he suddenly struck out a golden palm that was a hundred feet long, which was aimed at the Hall Master of Subduing Dragon. The power was extremely terrifying!
Upon seeing this Hall Master of Subduing Dragon frowned, slowly extended two fingers, and a surge of powerful and domineering golden true energy condensed within them. Suddenly, he pointed out with one finger, striking out a sharp and domineering golden finger imprint, which slammed into the thumb of Li Changfeng's hundred-foot-long golden palm.
"Bang"!!
A violent explosion rang out as Li Changfeng's hundred-foot-long golden palm was shattered in mid-air by the Hall Master of Subduing Dragon's finger. It was as if the palm print had been hit in a weak spot, and the entire palm began to disintegrate from the inside, with true energy leaking out wildly. It exploded directly in the air, a truly fatal blow!
Upon seeing this, Li Changfeng was immediately shocked, "What?! My Vajra Palm of Immense Strength has been broken just like that?!"
The Hall Master of Subduing Dragon had a gloomy face. "What exactly did Fu Hu teach you! Your palm strike is flashy but ineffective, the power is not concentrated enough, it is full of flaws, you have a lot of power but no practical use!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng was shocked. "Master! Is... is it really that bad?"
The Hall Master of Subduing Dragon said in a deep voice, "Nonsense! Do you know that I just used only a hundred years of Inner Force to break through your palm technique, which is full of flaws!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng smiled wryly and said, "This... this difference is really that big?!"
The Hall Master of Subduing Dragon sneered, "You haven't encountered any discerning masters these past years, otherwise your clumsy palm technique would have been broken in a minute! Didn't Fu Hu even teach you how to use and condense true energy?"
Li Changfeng forced a smile and said, "No... no! Maybe it's because I haven't been at Shaolin for long; I've been training outside the temple the whole time, so..."
Upon hearing this, the Hall Master of Subduing Dragon said in a deep voice, "Fortunately, it's not too late yet! You haven't broken through to the Grandmaster level yet, otherwise your future would be ruined. Now I will teach you how to condense and circulate true energy!"
Actually, you can't blame the Hall Master of Subduing Tiger. Li Changfeng hasn't spent much time at Shaolin Temple in recent years. He comes and goes in a hurry, so the Hall Master of Subduing Tiger hasn't had much opportunity to teach him anything.
The Hall Master of Subduing Dragon slowly extended his palm, and streams of golden light condensed in his hand, forming a ball of light the size of a basketball. Then, he suddenly compressed it into a ball of light the size of a baseball.
It contained a terrifying power, more than twice as strong as the basketball-sized ball of light from before, and its power was even more violent and fierce!
After finishing, the Hall Master of Subduing Dragon slowly said, "Did you... understand?"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng solemnly said, "This is to condense and compress those weak true qi, making the originally scattered true qi condense and compress into something more solid and powerful!"
Upon hearing this, the Hall Master of Subduing Dragon nodded. "You're a promising student! Good! Then you should intensify your practice and try to condense your hundred-zhang palm force into fifty zhang. If you have any questions, come to the Subduing Dragon Hall and tell me. I won't stay here with you!"
After saying that, the Hall Master of Subduing Dragon slowly returned, leaving Li Changfeng to fend for himself.
The master leads you through the door, but the practice is up to you. Only when you encounter a bottleneck in your own practice can you know your weaknesses, and breaking through that bottleneck is the key to progress.
Li Changfeng's expression was solemn. Streams of golden true energy condensed in his palm, then compressed again. He was covered in sweat, as this powerful true energy was impossible to control. Suddenly, it exploded and vanished into nothingness.
Li Changfeng frowned deeply. "This... is too difficult! My proud true energy is so hard to condense and compress! It seems that I have indeed improved too quickly over the years, and I still cannot use my true energy freely!"
"Next, we must make up for what we missed during this period!"
After saying that, Li Changfeng continued to cultivate and circulate his true energy. He was completely focused, and streams of true energy condensed again and then compressed and condensed. After a moment, a popping sound was suddenly heard, and the condensed true energy exploded again, failing once more.
This time, he concentrated and focused for a little longer than before, which was an improvement. Without saying a word, Li Changfeng started cultivating again.
One hour later.
Li Changfeng lay on the ground, his hands a mess, and said in a deep voice, "This hour of cultivation has allowed me to find the key!"
The trick is to concentrate your mind and control the flow of true qi little by little. Over time, you will naturally become proficient, and operating true qi will become extremely easy!
After resting for a while, Li Changfeng resumed his cultivation. He would rest when he was tired and continue when he was rested until late at night before Li Changfeng slowly returned to his bedroom to rest.
He doesn't have enough training points right now, so he can't train every day like he does every year. It doesn't seem worthwhile to train every month, so he should just keep them. This unintentional thought just happened to save him from a crisis!
However, Li Changfeng's situation was observed by the Hall Master of Subduing Dragon, who smiled and said, "This kid! His perseverance is not bad!"
