Seeing Hong Yi shake his head, Huang Xiao frowned slightly. He knew Hong Yi must believe that even mastering the entire Dragon-Capturing Divine Palm would not be enough to defeat his opponent.
"No matter what, you still need to have faith in yourself," Huang Xiao said.
"Brother Huang, perhaps you don't quite understand. Even if I mastered all eighteen palms, I fear their power would still fall short of his," Hong Yi said.
"Even eighteen palms wouldn't be enough?" Huang Xiao paused in surprise, then said, "In that case, you'll have to find a way to create new moves yourself. A nineteenth palm, a twentieth, or even ten more to make twenty-eight palms. I imagine that should be enough to deal with that expert."
Hong Yi froze at Huang Xiao's words. Only after a long while did he sigh and say, "I know what you mean, but the Dragon-Capturing Divine Palm has always been the Beggar Gang's supreme art. Of all our predecessors, not one managed to create even more powerful moves on the foundation of the Eighteen Palms."
"If you truly want to revive the Beggar Gang, this is your only choice. Otherwise, even if your power improves somewhat in the end, you'll still struggle to surpass the Beggar Gang's predecessors," Huang Xiao said. "Besides, you said yourself that the expert who used the Mad Elephant Brahma Esoteric Palm hadn't mastered his palm technique to perfection either. So, no matter what, you must either raise your power to a realm others can scarcely reach, or work on your palm technique to greatly increase its strength. And in all this, I think The Beggar Sutra might offer you an opportunity. Of course, it might not work out either."
"Actually, what you're saying is rather similar to what Brother Dugu said,"
