Chen Feng was practicing the battle techniques Zhao Yun had taught him.
A day earlier, Zhao Yun had met Chen Feng at the Training Ground and taken a liking to him, deciding to teach him a few moves. "Bu Yin, you have battle qi now, but you don't know any battle techniques. That's like begging with a golden bowl in your hands. What a waste."
Battle techniques were essentially amplifiers for battle qi.
Someone like Cao Cao, who coated his fists in battle qi and wildly swung haymakers, could overwhelm weaker opponents through sheer quantities of battle qi. Against an equally strong opponent, however, he would suffer badly.
Zhao Yun said, "Battle techniques have ten tiers. The higher the tier, the greater their power."
Chen Feng recalled how Yan Liang's first-tier battle technique had failed to breach his defenses during their spar, while his eighth-tier battle technique had wounded him. He quickly asked, "Zilong, do you know what the tenth-tier battle techniques are?"
Zhao Yun held out both hands. "As far as I know, there are ten tenth-tier battle techniques."
The scholarly ones were Earthquake Roar, which caused earthquakes; Thunder Prison, which drew down heavenly thunder; Fire Phoenix Scorches the Plains, which summoned heavenly fire; Stone Gate Eight-Formation, which trapped people until they died; and Heaven and Earth Be Useless, which devastated heaven and earth.
The martial ones were Gods and Demons Unleashed, which delivered ten thousand strikes in an instant; Seven-Star Slash, which unleashed seven battle qi slashes; Flying Dragon in the Sky, which allowed the user to become a dragon; Sunset Piercing the Rainbow, which shot enemies through the head from extreme distances; and Ghosts Wail and Gods Howl, which likewise devastated heaven and earth.
