Chapter 308: 0212 Essential True Skill (5k)_2

"When I achieve a Breakthrough Realm in Fist Theory, I want to try using my comprehension and the Tiger Form proficiency I’ve learned to create a True Skill Level Fist Technique as a means to combat opponents," said Lu Chenzhou after a moment of silence.

"Uh... Chenzhou, it is possible to create True Skill Martial Arts if you understand the principles, but there are two points I need to clarify to you in advance," Li Gui spoke. "Firstly, the True Skill that can be created from such understanding is only Lower Grade True Skill. And this is just the most basic condition, not everything.

"Every entirely unique and new True Skill has required countless efforts, extraordinary comprehension beyond common people, and a kind of serendipity where timing and the world conspire. This type of True Skill is called Essential True Skill.

"Let me give you an example with the Tiger Form Sect.

"Throughout history, haven’t there been many Martial Artists born? Among the hundred forms, Tiger Form might have fewer top-level masters, but it indisputably has the largest base of Martial Artists.

"Yet, to date, including other schools, there are only eighteen Essential True Skills of Tiger Form Martial Arts in existence, known as the ’Eighteen True Tigers’. Dragon Form has even fewer, only eight, called the ’Heavenly Dragon Eight’.

"Phoenix Form has seven, commonly referred to as ’True Phoenix Seven Skills’.

"Some less popular Elephant Form Sects only have one or two Essential True Skills. This is why many sects don’t even have a Martial Arts Master, because their Essential True Skill is too weak.

"As for Essential Divine Skill, Tiger Form can only boast of three.

"Not just Divine Skills, ordinary Martial Arts follow this principle too. The reason you felt fast progression in ordinary Martial Arts in your initial stages is because you were a blank slate with very little Martial Arts knowledge. But once you master several of the Tiger Form Root Martial Arts, you will gradually find that other Martial Arts are quite similar, even just different arrangements of the same routines, and you might find them monotonous.

"Therefore, ordinary geniuses, only after becoming a Grandmaster, go back to examine the ordinary Martial Arts of their sect, exploring all the techniques and slowly discover the personal wisdom different Martial Artists added, like panning for gold.

"This is why everyone says ’One method mastered, all methods understood.’ A significant reason lies in the fact that every Boxing Lineage and sect’s Root Martial Arts comprise just those few skills. The rest, many are derived and evolved from these, not very different.

"In Dragon City, we claim to possess ’True Skills Thousand Volumes’, but that’s just for the sake of sounding impressive; it includes Martial Arts slightly modified by Martial Artists to be considered as part of it.

"How many can truly create and innovate in True Skill? Those who could create Essential True Skill in ancient times, were all major powers’ Piao Dao Ancestor! These people had comprehension like Heavenly Beings, their Fist Theory encompassing the ancient to the present, very rare, and not many exist now.

"Of course, if you have other considerations and believe in your path, just follow it. Although I am your teacher, I don’t fully understand you," Li Gui’s words were very tactful.

Each genius has their pride.

None of them are fools; their actions are certainly considered.

Although he is a teacher, he can only offer advice.

Touched by these words, Lu Chenzhou said, "Teacher, rest assured, I believe in myself."

The teacher’s words were all correct.

But the teacher misunderstood his intentions.

As a novice Martial Artist, how could he dare to innovate Essential True Skill or even ordinary Martial Arts? He only wanted to integrate and act as a ’Transporter’, what the teacher mentioned, adding a bit of ’innovation’ to claim it as his original True Skill.

Being a transporter is also challenging, to integrate something new into True Skill Martial Arts is not possible without a solid foundation in Martial Arts. That’s why he wanted to continue studying ordinary Martial Arts until he mastered Root Martial Arts of Tiger Form, and stop when the routines became too repetitive.

According to the Martial Arts Tree, once the Root Martial Arts were mastered, other repetitive and slightly original Martial Arts could no longer offer new Divine Seeds.

Then, for Lu Chenzhou, there would be no need to continue this hard struggle.

For others, creating non-Essential True Skill is also difficult. But Lu Chenzhou has the Martial Arts Tree, sufficient Divine Seeds and achieved the Fourth Realm in Fist Theory, he surely will succeed!

Seeing Lu Chenzhou’s determination, Li Gui smiled and said, "Good, I trust you, follow your own path then."

...

Practice Room.

The spirited sparring session came to an end.

Chen Jiu observed Lu Chenzhou’s increasingly perfect Cross Training Body.

After a while, he withdrew his gaze.

"Impressive... nearing Great Success, definitely reaching Perfection in three years, and if things go well, perhaps even two years. You truly continue to redefine my understanding."

"Teacher, you flatter me, I have something..."

"Go ahead."

"I heard that the teacher knows a Secret Technique called ’Bodhi Technique’ that prevents contamination of Qi, thus allowing one to avoid some enemies’ tracking through Qi."

"That’s right, I have spent many years at Songshan Martial Arts University, almost acting as a Shaolin disciple, thus I’ve mastered quite a bit of Buddhist Martial Arts... However, ’Bodhi Technique’ belongs to the True Skill Level Secret Technique and is a Shaolin secret Martial Arts. I can master it due to my exchange student status, but without express permission from the Grandmaster Committee, I cannot teach it privately."

"I understand."

"Go back for today. I’ll call a friend at Songshan Martial Arts University and ask the Grandmaster Committee to see if an exception can be made."

"Then I’ll trouble the teacher. I will pay the necessary price."

Leaving Chen Jiu’s home, Lu Chenzhou appeared as usual.

Such a secret technique would be best to learn.

If not... he would try the Daoist method.

Inside the practice room, Chen Jiu mused alone, "Why is this young man suddenly wanting to learn such an esoteric secret technique? Could it be that he was bullied at Dragon and Tiger Mountain?"

Worried, his wife held their child and said:
