Pandaren are a race that loves to roam and has a peaceful heart. Although the Pandaren of the Wandering Isle have a more wandering spirit than their counterparts in Pandaria, their inner peace remains unchanged.
"This should be... near Woods of Staves?" Jiang Jie still remembered the general map of Wandering Isle, carefully considered it for a moment, then shook his head. "No, it should be near Shang Xi's Training Grounds. This is Valley of the Dawn, and that's... the Shrine of Tranquility!"
Jiang Jie looked up at the cliff, which was about twenty meters high. There stood a large tree like a welcoming pine tree, and below it was a small shrine near the cliff.
Yes, a cliff.
They were currently on the edge of the tortoise shell of the Shen-zin Su. Because of the constant erosion by the sea, there was no soil or trees here; soil and trees were all on the cliff!
So, climb up!
Jiang Jie was naturally the first. After a few leaps, he reached the cliff, tied the elf rope to a nearby tree, and threw it to the others.
Just then, he frowned slightly, because he sensed a creature approaching very quickly!
There could be no humans or other creatures on the Wandering Isle. Apart from the Pandaren, there are only a few low-intelligence creatures, such as Hozen and Virmen. Only the Pandaren can run so fast and have such a powerful presence.
"A male Pandaren? Seems quite young? Well, Pandaren look pretty much the same, you can't tell their age at all!" Jiang Jie helplessly.
Although the live video feed from the game pod reached his mind, he could only discern that it was a young Pandaren, but he couldn't tell whether it was a teenager or in its twenties or thirties. It's like asking an ordinary person to see a giant panda; you wouldn't be able to tell whether it's two or three years old.
In Jiang Jie's eyes, the Pandaren were just like the people of a certain country in the east; they all looked the same and were completely indistinguishable!
"Interesting."
Jiang Jie's lips curled up slightly.
Although he had played as Pandaren Monk in the game and liked the chubby, Chinese-style creatures and the unique class of Monk, he had never actually witnessed real Pandaren martial arts since coming to this world, so he was very interested.
This land and water seem to possess a peculiar magic, capable of relaxing the mind and body.
Jiang Jie was also influenced and began to have mischievous thoughts.
So without saying hello, even though he sensed that the Pandaren meant no harm and was probably just there to check things out, he still decided to make a move and see just how good the Pandaren's martial arts were.
Jiang Jie suddenly turned around, without using martial arts such as the Nine Provinces Yu Walking Step or the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms, because there were not many Pandaren on Wandering Isle who were strong enough to fight him head-on. Using superior martial arts would not have the effect of testing his skills.
Jiang Jie ran at a fast speed using only his own strength, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of the panda. Without saying a word, he raised his hand and threw a punch!
This punch was quite ordinary, just a regular long punch.
During this period, Jiang Jie's internal energy cultivation stagnated at the Houtian Tenth Layer. He had not yet fully opened up all the meridians in his body, and his progress in martial arts such as Taijiquan and Dragon-Subduing Palm was slow. At Xiao Feng's suggestion, Jiang Jie began to learn some more popular but classic martial arts that had been honed over thousands of years, such as Taizu Long Fist, Wudang Cotton Palm, and Shaolin Arhat Fist. He hoped to learn from the strengths of various styles and draw inferences from one instance to another, which would help him to comprehend superior martial arts.
The seemingly calm half-step punch was surprisingly powerful because Jiang Jie had a foundation at the Houtian Tenth Layer. Even with the most basic martial arts skills, he was stronger than a martial artist at the fifth or sixth level of the Houtian who was practicing superior martial arts!
The Pandaren were clearly surprised that Jiang Jie would attack without warning. Of course, this was mainly because the Pandaren were used to a peaceful life and had never had any conflicts in their lives, so they were stunned for a moment.
However, this Pandaren was quite strong. In his haste, he raised his arms to Parry, and Jiang Jie's fist slammed into the Pandaren's arm. The Pandaren staggered back several steps, while Jiang Jie stood firmly in place, a satisfied smile on his face.
Everyone thinks pandas are cute and adorable, but few people realize that pandas are actually large bears with amazing bite force and fighting ability, ranking in the middle among bears.
Pandaren also very cute and cuddly, just as adorable as the adorable " Gugu ". But in reality, Pandaren are much larger than humans, taller and bigger than the burly Orcs. Their height is similar to that of Troll, but their weight is almost twice that of Troll!
Their massive size signifies immense strength; the Pandaren are stronger than the Orcs, and second only to the Tauren among all races!
Jiang Jie had never seen Tauren, but he had seen Worgen. He was certain that the Pandaren in front of him was even stronger than the Worgen he had ever seen. Even with his speed and the force of his impact, he still couldn't defeat the Pandaren; the other man only took a few steps back.
A Pandaren isn't too weak!
"What are you? I've never seen you before..." The male Pandaren was clearly not surprised by Jiang Jie's appearance, asking "what are you?" instead of "who are you?"
However, before he could finish speaking, Jiang Jie launched another attack.
Still without using the Dragon-Subduing Palm or Taijiquan, Jiang Jie decided to carry on with the Taizu Long Fist to the very end!
Although Pandaren are peaceful by nature, they can be quite terrifying when angered, their faces becoming ferocious.
In the blink of an eye, the Pandaren rolled and charged toward Jiang Jie at a speed comparable to Warrior's Charge and a rogue's Sprint!
" Roll or Chi Torpedo? Interesting!" Jiang Jie chuckled, raising his hand to block the Pandaren's flying kick!
The next moment, he retreated rapidly.
After taking several steps, I felt my arm getting numb.
"Judging from this stance, is it the Rising Sun Kick? Or does it contain a very pure energy, albeit in small quantities—is that the Pandaren's Chi?" Jiang Jie shook his arm and then attacked again.
This Pandaren is really strong. Jiang Jie estimates that even when he reaches the seventh or eighth level of the Houtian, he might not be able to defeat him.
The Taizu Long Fist is no longer effective; Jiang Jie has to admit that this is a rather troublesome opponent, and he needs to get serious.
" Wudang Cotton Palm!"
Jiang Jie's fighting style suddenly changed drastically. His powerful punches became softer and more gentle, which made the Pandaren feel extremely uncomfortable. No matter how much force he used, Jiang Jie could easily deflect the punches, as if he were hitting a ball of cotton. This made the Pandaren, who had a tough fighting style, feel incredibly frustrated.
At this moment, Anveena and the others also came up, and the group stood on the edge of the cliff looking out.
"Hey, Captain, should we go help the adults?"
"Help the adults? You think the adults can't beat that panda? You're overthinking it. Can't you see the adults are just fooling around?"
"Exactly! What kind of martial arts did you use, sir? I've never seen it before! You truly are an adult, you know so much!"
"How long do you think it will take the adults to win?"
"Win? Forget it, let's just guess when the adults will get tired of it!"
A group of people were pointing and talking, their voices quite loud, and they were all Common. This language has been passed down from ancient times and is well preserved, so the Pandaren can understand it (just pretend you can understand it, and ignore the dialects...).
The Pandaren was speechless!
No matter how you fight, it feels like you're being played like a monkey, and you're the monkey yourself. This feeling is incredibly uncomfortable!
One minute later.
"Stop fighting! Stop fighting! You look like a male, but you fight like Aysa? Those Tushui are such a hassle!" The Pandaren suddenly stepped aside, then waved his two thick, furry arms and shouted, "You're stronger than me, I can't beat you! What are you anyway? You look a bit like Hozen from the west, are you a mutated Hozen? Where did you learn our martial arts from? Did Master Shang Xi take Hozen as a disciple? I've never heard of that!"
The Pandaren stared wide-eyed at Jiang Jie, scrutinizing him from head to toe with intense curiosity.
