Peng!
Division Head Chen crashed heavily into the wall, causing his body to be covered in dust and dirt . After a series of violent coughing, he got back to his feet and flew back . Even though his face had paled from the injury he had just suffered, there was an inconcealable excited gleam in his eyes .
As the head of the Fist Division, it went without saying that his specialty lay in fist art . With the sheer prowess of his fist, he could easily crush opponents of higher cultivation realm than him .
Yet, despite the young age of the fellow before him, he found that the latter's comprehension of fist art had reached a level far beyond his imagination .
"How can I further improve my fist art?" Division Head Chen clasped his fist and asked earnestly .
'It is not the senior but the skilled that becomes the teacher' . He might be the head of the Fist Division, and the other party might be younger and possess a lower cultivation than him, but it was indubitable that the other party was far beyond him in the field of fist art . It was no shame for him to lower his head and ask for the other party's guidance .
"Your fist art looks decent, but it lacks an indomitable spirit . . . If I'm not mistaken, you must have cultivated quite a lot of battle techniques, right?" the young man asked .
"That's right . Altogether, I have cultivated 42 fist arts…" Division Head Chen replied awkwardly .
In the past, whenever someone asked him how many fist arts he had learned, he would answer them with a proud look on his face . However, in this moment, he seemed to vaguely understand what the young man was driving at, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed by it .
"When it comes to battle techniques, one's strength is determined by the mastery of one's technique, not the amount of techniques one have . Learning too many battle techniques may just result in one's mind, spirit, and psyche being divided . Ever since my teacher imparted me my fist art, I have been spending the past year refining that one single move so as to ensure that I have grasped it perfectly . That's also the reason why my fist is able to wield such might . You have learned a total of 42 fist arts, but how much time are you able to devote to each of them?" the young man asked .
"This . . . I spent roughly twenty years of each of them . . . I am nine hundred this year…" Division Head Chen scratched his head awkwardly .
" . . . " Realizing that he had misspoke, the young man's face reddened, and he quickly changed the subject . "Time is not the only factor that matters in the cultivation of fist arts, devotion is very important as well . Alright, since you have joined our Xuanxuan Faciton, I'll impart you a trick as to how you can align your mind, spirit, and psyche together in order to maximize the might of your fist!"
"Thank you!" Division Head Chen's eyes lit up in agitation .
"That youth is actually offering pointers to Division Head Chen?"
"I can still hardly believe it at this point, but . . . that fist executed by the young man is truly too fearsome . I don't think that we'll be able to withstand it either!"
The division heads and elders in the air were shocked by what they had just seen .
Despite the young age of the person that was teaching Division Head Chen, they had to admit that his fist art was truly powerful . As martial arts fanatics themselves, they couldn't help but feel interested in it .
"It should be out of his desire to learn that fist art that Division Head Chen decided to join the Xuanxuan Faction . . . But what about Division Head Lu?" After learning of the reason why Division Head Chen had jumped ships, the crowd couldn't help but turn their gazes towards where Division Head Lu was at .
Standing in front of Division Head Lu was a young lady which seemed to be around sixteen or seventeen too . Despite her young age, she had a delicately-shaped face that was extremely beautiful .
The young lady seemed to be saying something to Division Head Lu . Focusing their senses at their conversation, the group could vaguely hear what was being said between the both of them .
" . . . Little Lu, your movement technique is not too bad, but it's excessively flamboyant . Flamboyant movement techniques can overwhelm the weak, making them err in panic . However, such a trick wouldn't work for experts . One will just appear as nothing more than a fool before their eyes!"
With her hand behind her back, the young lady spoke in a disappointed tone . "The main aim of movement technique is to allow one to close in on an enemy swiftly so as to catch him off guard, thus creating an opportunity to subdue him . Squandering all of one's zhenqi solely on producing illusions will only effectively make one's attack weaker than it should be!
"Lower your cultivation to a realm higher than me, which is Saint 1-dan pinnacle . I'll show you what a movement technique should be like!" the young lady said with a deep sigh .
"Alright!" Division Head Lu nodded before suppressing his aura . In the blink of an eye, his cultivation had been lowered to Saint 1-dan pinnacle .
"Alright, let's begin!"
Right at the start of the battle, Division Head Lu's figure suddenly blurred, and five illusory clones appeared around him . Each of them felt lifelike, and they emanated the very same aura as one another, making it nigh impossible to figure out which was real and which was fake .
"That's Division Head Lu's [Nine Shadows Step]!"
"Upon mastering the Nine Shadows Step, one is capable of producing nine illusory clones simultaneously, making it an extremely fearsome technique to guard against . Even though Division Head Lu is only able to produce five of them due to his suppressed cultivation, it still wouldn't be easy to deal with that technique!"
"So far, there has been very few people who have managed to overcome the might of the Nine Shadows Step…"
"Even I would have to retreat and reconsider my moves before dealing with that movement technique…"
. . .
Hall Master Xing and the others watched the situation with grim expressions on their faces .
Saint 1-dan was the minimum cultivation required to execute the Saint low-tier Nine Shadows Step . The movement technique was greatly feared even within the Combat Master Hall itself, such that in a battle under the same cultivation realm, there was none of them who was capable of overcoming it .
"Prepare yourself, I am going to make a move…" While the combat masters were still awed by the sight before them, the young lady suddenly spoke with a solemn voice .
Following which, a figure blurred before everyone's eyes, and it seemed as if a shadow had darted forth . In the next instant, however, the shadow seemed to have returned back to where it was .
Padah!
A resounding echo sounded, and the five illusory clones dissipated . Division Head Lu's body was scrunched together reminiscent of a shrimp, and yellowish bile was spewing in large mouthfuls from him .
Judging from the looks of it, it seemed like the young lady had struck his abdomen .
"She . . . made a move?" Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, everyone felt their throats running dry .
Even with their eye of discernment, they were unable to see the young lady's movements . . . Just how fast could she be?
They had never imagined that a day would come where the head of the Footwork Division would have his ultimate skill overcome by another movement technique . . .
Terrifying!
"Too fast . . . I am really no match for you . Young Miss, I beseech you to teach me…" After a long moment, Division Head Lu finally recovered from the blow . Struggling back to his feet, he looked at the young lady before him in admiration before clasping his fist earnestly .
