2024-10-29 19:42:56The Three Waves Palm is simple. Li Xin understood it and he smiles
But simple did not mean weak.
Executed in the perfect circumstances, it would be a lethal technique.
The important thing to know about the Three Waves Palm is that the three waves of energy must not be same.
The energy come from the body, and when it is unleashed it must have different kind of waves of power when it is being executed.
Weak, strong weak. Or strong, weak, strong. Or strong, strong, weak. Or weak, weak, strong. Combine, mix and match, attack according to circumstances.
There are no useful or useless moves in martial arts. There are only people who can’t use them properly.
This skill could shine if the one using it could understand the intricacies of using this force. At times strong, at times weak, pushing forward, showing weakness, forcing the enemy to also use unconventional means.
It is called Three Waves Palm but it is not three strokes of palm attack. Instead, the waves refer to the energy.
The moves on the other hand is natural and temperamental like the waves of the ocean.
This is the ultimate understanding of the Three Waves Palm.
When thrusting the palm forward, when unleashing the force, if the enemy is preparing to accept powerful strike, then use weak force, the force of the enemy would rebound to themselves.
But if the enemy is thinking that you would use weak force, then use strong force. This is akin to the Art of War.
When they expected you to move, don’t move, when they expected you not to move, move.
Even though this is considered basic skills, but any of the basic skills that is given by the system is not simple at all.
The palm moves naturally, and while it could be used to attack, it also could be used to defend, three layer waves of energy to dull the impact.
The variation of the energy that need to be used is different. One that practices this technique must have good grasp of the situation in battle to use it skillfully.
This kind of training would usually take normal people years. But Li Xin learns all this in just a few seconds.
‘It is perfect to take an enemy off guard, causes them to break their pace and to change the pace of the battle’ Li Xin thought to himself.
When a weak attack is preceded by a strong attack, it would shock certain people.
Others could block the first wave and the second wave but when the third wave hits, if the third wave is the strong one and the enemy lower their guard, their defense would crumble.
To execute strong, strong, strong, then one had to have more internal energy.
When reached to the pinnacle of strength, even if one waves of energy could destroy a person defense entirely.
At that time, the Three Waves Palm may not be needed any longer.
‘But, I believe this skill could be modified to reach a higher level’ he thought to himself.
But, Li Xin is not interested in modifying it right now. there are still many things that he needed to buy
A few second later, he opens his eyes.
His eyes are shining with wisdom and then he who is at the yard began showing the moves of the Three Waves Palm, the dried leaves around him is blasted away, the ground crack when he stomps his feet and the sound of the wind seems to be distorted.
The space around Li Xin palm seems to bend and then there is the sound of something being struck onto the tree trunk.
Li Xin moves left and right, alternating between weak force to strong force, mixing and matching, the movement is like a waves that lapping over the shore, the method is like the sea, unpredictable and tempestuous at times, calm and serene at another.
And then Li Xin stops as he returns to relaxed stance.
He takes a deep breath and then exhale.
He smiles as he looks at the trees around the yard. Each tree seems to have a palm shape depressed deep into their trunk.
Each one if the shape of his palm.
He could feel that the surface of his palm is burning. In that barrage of palm attack he just executed he had uses around five years of his inner energy.
He takes a deep breath and quickly regulates his breathing.
As he is regaining back his inner energy he could feel that the reason why there is little consumption of his inner energy than expected is because of his [Palm Attack Proficiency] and [Internal Energy Proficiency]
Of course, one might think that losing five years of inner energy in one go is a lot but for Li Xin who understood the true might of the Three Waves Palm, knows that if the current him executed the Three Waves Palm, it should have used around seven years of his inner energy
Basic but powerful. Simple but direct.
That is his evaluation of the Three Waves Palm.
he also knows that the reason why it takes so much of his inner energy is because the lack of control
Li Xin weakness right now is his lack of control.
This is because of his inner energy practice which is very basic.
If he had for example the Nine Yang Divine Skill, or the Zixia Internal Energy practice of Huashan, then it probably would only use a small amount of his Qi.
Instead, like a tap that could not be stopped LI Xin moves when used with Qi would always resulted in him using more than what he is supposed to.
After a few minute, Li Xin had recovered. Now, the urgency of finding Zhou Qingxuan is even more urgent
Then he looks at his status window again. This time, he looks at the golden book.
And he is smiling.
‘The Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm!’ he thought to himself. Even though, he had drained about 1000 Ding which is equal to 1 gold, he does not seem to care.
After all, his system is not the merchant system but a martial art system. And knowing that there is a war that is about to come to the Central Plain, what use is money?
He taps the book and the prompt appeared
[Learn Skill?]
‘Yes’ he said and then in his mind appeared eighteen strokes of palm attack, the sound of dragon roaring and a powerful Yang energy rising from his Yang meridian.
It was but a brief moment and then Li Xin mind returns to normal.
Li Xin knows that he did not yet master the Eighteen Dragon Subduing palm, and only understood a bit about it. He then looks at his stats window and there is the skill with asterisk sign on it.
‘I was right’ He had a theory that any supreme martial skill had an asterisk to denote that it is a supreme martial art skill.
Even if he did not learn any other skills, armed with this palm skill alone, he could probably move unhindered.
He taps the status window of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm
[Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm]
In another world, it is the fearsome martial art of an organization called the Beggars Sect. Hailed as the most physically aggressive technique in Wulin, all eighteen strokes were named after phases from the I’Ching, with all names containing the character for dragon. The history of this skill it first had twenty-eight palm technique but it was later modified to become Eighteen.
this technique is the single most powerful external style martial art in the world, being unmatched in its ferocity, meticulousness, and sheer power.

These are the eighteen strokes of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm. Only after mastering all of the strokes to grandmaster rank, that the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm could be mastered completely
>>
Li Xin read the description and then he was shocked. Each of the strokes needs to be raised to grandmaster rank for him to master it.
Li Xin knew that he had a lot of martial skill points. But the only reason he has that many of skill point is because he rarely uses it.
There is also the fact that there was quest and beginner pack that he got. But even after that, when he solves quest, the amount of points he gets is barely one hundred.
It is not easy to get martial skill points.
‘Haish. As expected of a supreme martial skill’ he thought to himself.
He looks at his martial skill point on his status window and then look back at the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm and sighed.
‘Still, I should not complain’ And he sighed again

Li Xin sigh held many meaning and feelings. Because he knew that it is not easy to gain martial skill points.It did not just fall down from the sky.
