" The Crane-Controlling Dragon-Capturing Hand "?
Jiang Jie frowned. "Does it conflict with the Thirty-Six Dragon-Subduing Palms?"
Xiao Feng Feng's eyebrows furrowed, and she glared fiercely at Jiang Jie: "Would I harm you?"
Okay, of course not. Xiao Feng is an AI; it can't break the basic rules. Although it can be moody sometimes, it's very reliable in crucial moments.
" The Crane-Controlling Dragon-Capturing Hand is a martial art belonging to the grappling category. It emphasizes the balance of softness and hardness, and is somewhat similar to the principles of Taijiquan. Your Taijiquan has already reached a minor level of mastery, so practicing the Crane-Controlling Dragon-Capturing Hand will be relatively easy." With a wave of his hand, Xiao Feng transmitted the relevant information into Jiang Jie's mind. Then, with another wave of his hand, holographic images appeared in front of Jiang Jie.
The first image shows a boy standing in a secluded room, his eyes slightly narrowed, with a few flies flying overhead.
He suddenly reached out, and in Lightning flash, a tiny bit of Internal Energy enveloped a fly. The fly was not dead; it was still lively, its wings flapping up and down, but it couldn't fly away. The boy, seized by a playful impulse, manipulated his Internal Energy to tear off the fly's two wings, and the fly was still alive.
The second image shows a young man walking in the mountains, with a sparrow flying past him.
He suddenly raised his hand, and a slightly stronger Internal Energy transformed into a powerful hand, catching the sparrow. The young man stretched out his other hand, and with a slight movement of his five fingers, he actually plucked the sparrow's feathers one by one from more than ten meters away!
The third image shows a middle-aged man standing on the lake, his toes barely touching the surface, unsupported and completely still.
Suddenly, a crane appeared on the cold pond, while a giant eagle hunted. The middle-aged man gently raised his hand, and his Xiantian true Chi burst forth, transforming into a powerful hand that seized the old crane. He then channeled his Chi into the crane's body, controlling it to fight the giant eagle. In the end, the crane was unharmed and killed the giant eagle!
The fourth image shows an old man riding the wind, flying thousands of meters above the sea. Suddenly, a hundred-meter-long dragon soars into the sky, opening its blood-red maw to devour the old man.
The old man remained unmoved, leisurely raising his hand. The clouds gathered into a hundred-foot-long hand, which seized the dragon. In the palm of the cloud hand, the dragon was like a small earthworm, unable to move.
The scenes were shocking!
Jiang Jie's mouth was agape, and he didn't even know how to close it, because even what the boy in the first video did, he couldn't do at all!
The Crane-Controlling Dragon-Capturing Hand technique is actually just like a mage's " Mage Hand," except that one manipulates Internal Energy Chi and the other manipulates Arcane energy.
Moreover, in Jiang Jie's opinion, the Crane-Controlling Dragon-Capturing Hand is far more mysterious and ten thousand times more useful than the Mage Hand!
He had a sudden realization:
Youth, adolescence, middle age, and old age are all essentially the same person, different stages of growth, corresponding to different levels of the Crane -Crane-Controlling Dragon-Capturing Hand. The final mastery of manipulating cloud energy to toy with a hundred-meter-long dragon—that Dragon-Capturing -capturing power could probably easily wipe out any adult dragon in this world.
" Fly-Catching, Sparrow-Catching, Crane-Controlling, capturing dragons," Xiao Feng said, Dragon-Capturing sunflower seeds. "These are the four levels of the Crane Crane-Controlling Dragon-Capturing Crane-Controlling Dragon-Capturing Hand. Although it's not as powerful as Taiji Divine Art or the Thirty-Six Dragon-Subduing Palms, it's enough for you until you become Martial Arts Grandmaster! Now, go practice!"
As soon as Xiao Feng spat out the melon seed shell, the surrounding scenery instantly changed, and Jiang Jie found himself in a super room that was a kilometer long and wide and a hundred meters high!
"This is the Flying Bird Secret Chamber, an illusion created specifically for various grappling techniques. Enjoy, host!" Xiao Feng blinked.
The next moment, clusters of black light flew over, converging into a long dragon—it was actually countless flies!
Then, when it was still ten meters away from Jiang Jie, it suddenly exploded and flew in all directions, quickly filling the entire room!
"First level, Fly-Catching Hand, training begins!"
One hour later.
Jiang Jie was panting heavily, his internal Internal Energy completely drained!
The Crane-Controlling Dragon-Capturing Hand is also a major drain on Internal Energy, using Internal Energy to simulate the palm of the hand.
It's incredibly difficult and drains your Internal Energy immensely. It's no easier than the Pegasus Meteor Finger, and perhaps even more so! If it weren't for his foundation in Taijiquan, Jiang Jie would have almost given up. This is simply beyond human capability!
In an hour, Jiang Jie hadn't even managed to unleash his Internal Energy technique, let alone Fly-Catching!
Why is the first layer Fly-Catching Hand?
Because the simulated Internal Energy hand is the smallest, consumes the least Internal Energy, and is the easiest to Internal Energy!
But this so-called simplicity is already quite remarkable. Let alone using Internal Energy force, how many people could even catch a fly with just two fingers and keep it alive?
Jiang Jie felt that it was really difficult for him. He had been practicing for an hour and hadn't even gotten close to the beginning. He estimated that he would remain in the " Beginner's Practice " stage for who knows how many more hours...
There are eleven realms in martial arts; the journey is long and arduous!
After practicing for several more hours, Jiang Jie was finally able to control his Internal Energy and successfully caught a few flies, but they all died, not one of them was left.
Capture alive?
This is too difficult!
He was very tired and mentally exhausted, and couldn't hold on any longer, so he left the game pod, returned to the military camp, and quickly fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, before dawn, Jiang Jie got up and practiced Taiji for a while in the morning dew. When the sun rose, he practiced Five Animal Frolics and Ten Brocades for a while, and then he saw a beautiful figure.
Fenna has arrived.
She carries Ashbringer on her back, and she herself is neither fat nor thin. A petite girl wielding a two-handed greatsword that's almost as tall as her—the image is so stunning, so incredibly beautiful.
Jiang Jie finished his practice and lightly leaped to Fenna's side.
"You said you'd teach me when I got back, do you still stand by that promise?" Fenna looked at Jiang Jie, her eyes filled with anticipation.
If a beautiful woman asks for your help, of course you should agree, especially if she's someone you like.
But not now.
"After we Scholomance... I mean, after we raid Scholomance and return to Lordaeron, then we'll have time. Give me some time to think about what I should teach that would suit you best," Jiang Jie nodded.
Fenna is Paladin; she has no Internal Energy and does not need Internal Energy.
Chinese martial arts don't necessarily require Internal Energy. Fenna doesn't have a game pod, so she can't achieve that immediately. However, she can manipulate Legendary- level Holy Light energy. If she could manipulate it using Internal Energy or Chi, its power would be immense.
He needs to think about it carefully.
"Yes, I also need time to get used to Ashbringer and familiarize myself with its power." Fenna was delighted to hear that Jiang Jie hadn't refused, and a smile appeared on her face.
She wasn't usually a cheerful person, but now her smile is incredibly beautiful; she's truly gorgeous.
" Jaina is ready, let's go." Fenna blushed when she saw Jiang Jie's intense gaze, turned around and left, but not quickly.
"Mm." Jiang Jie quickly caught up and stood shoulder to shoulder with Fenna, a beautiful sight to behold.
