Chapter 311: 0213 Palm Thunder Skill (4k for monthly tickets and subscriptions)_2

Lu Chenzhou demonstrated once again for his teacher, and in Chen Jiu’s eyes, Qi mechanisms encircling Lu Chenzhou’s body retreated like a tide, vanishing into the boundless void, concealed by the Niwan Palace.

Moments later, Chen Jiu said,

"Good thing you were born in modern times, otherwise if a high-ranking Buddhist monk discovered you, they’d coax you up the mountain, shave your head, and have you ordained, immersing yourself into Buddhism and chanting."

Back then, the common saying of skilled Buddhist practitioners was,

"My benefactor, I see you have a connection with Buddhism."

Lu Chenzhou smiled and said,

"Is reaching the Beginner level in seven days considered fast?"

Chen Jiu sighed and said,

"Let’s put it this way, when Lei Jingang Mingxin initially entered the Martial Arts commune, it took him three days to reach the Beginner level of this technique, and he is a possessor of the ’Dragon Subduing Buddha Body.’"

The Dragon Subduing Buddha Body is a top-level innate talent within Buddhism.

It’s not inferior to the ’Innate Buddha Child’ of Tuo Tian Head Monk.

As for Chen Jiu himself, it took him half a month to enter the Beginner level, and his Buddha Wisdom was quite good; otherwise, Shaolin wouldn’t have taken notice and invited him to exchange and study.

How strange and curious, how can this Lu Chenzhou lad be just a little bit better at everything?

Does a person who is proficient in all methods truly exist in this world?

It’s incomprehensible, incomprehensible.

...

In the blink of an eye,

Time arrived at the end of April.

Lu Chenzhou watched the news, the Virtual Disaster level in Southern Border was upgraded to fifth Rank, on par with Taihu’s side, but with the leadership of the Dragon and Tiger Academy, Void Things couldn’t stir much trouble. The deep roots of the Dragon and Tiger Daoist sect spanned through a large part of Da Xia Martial Arts history, in terms of both the number of Grandmasters and the quantity of Divine Weapons, they were superior to the likes of Tianxia’s nine major powers akin to Dragon City.

Even Galaxy Martial University, the foremost among the nine majors, couldn’t compare with the depth of the Daoist heritage, it’s just that the Cangtian Dragon King was too bug, his influence alone elevated the power.

Ying City police had already passed the Divine Child Sect’s information to Lu Chenzhou. These days, Lu Chenzhou had also taken the time to study, gaining a basic understanding of some of the Cult’s common Evil Skills, preparing to deal with these monsters in the future. He had a feeling that the Cultist Incense Master who was tracking him would not give up so easily.

What Lu Chenzhou could do was to practice the ’Minor Bodhi Body’ and cleanse the Qi mechanism of Void Things from his body to avoid being tracked unnoticed outside the school.

Being new to Martial Arts, he temporarily dared not confront Cultists head-on.

Evil Skills are peculiar, it’s best to overwhelm them with a higher Realm.

According to Lu Chenzhou’s observations and calculations over the past week, the speed of practicing the ’Bodhi Technique’ First Layer and the ’Tiger Demon Tai Sui Technique’ was about the same, slightly slower. Under the premise of practicing for a quarter of an hour each day, it normally took a year to complete.

Before that, he would try not to leave the school.

As Chen Jiu said, by not going out, one doesn’t stir up dust.

Two months of diligent practice, and Lu Chenzhou opened the 34th Acupoint.

He was very satisfied with this speed.

Next was to maintain and further advance!

That day,

In the Practice Room, Lu Chenzhou’s palm unleashed like thunder, the swift Qi Flow of the Thunderclap exploded soundingly, and the invisible force actually left marks on the front wooden stakes.

"Five-Tiger Palm·Thunder Extreme!"

On the Martial Arts Tree, the "Five-Tiger Palm" reached Perfection in just over half a month, blossoming and bearing fruit, a light purple seed took shape, with tiny characters appearing on it.

[Divine Seed·Five Tigers Surround (First Rank), hidden in the Shen Hui Acupoint.

Five Tigers Unite Heart, whose strength breaks metal.

Effect 1: Tiger Wisdom Level One, a slight improvement in general Martial Arts Comprehension

Effect 2: Tiger Form Level One, a slight improvement in Tiger Form Martial Arts Comprehension

Effect 3: Palmar Thunderclap, when Qi and muscles merge and rub, concentrating the body’s electrical current to a point and releasing it upon collision, about 300 volts.]

Lu Chenzhou frowned, realizing it was not simple.

""Five-Tiger Palm" has a long history, rumored to have originally come from the Daoist Palm Thunder Skill, but because of many transformations, it’s become far removed from the Palm Thunder; I have somehow coincidentally practiced the Palm Thunder... Interesting."

The essence of the Palm Thunder is to use Martial Arts Will to channel the bioelectric current generated by muscle friction, releasing it instantly upon contact with an enemy.

The "Five-Tiger Palm" follows the same principle, but as a third-rate Martial Arts, its electric current isn’t very powerful, 300 volts sounds intimidating, but in reality, it can’t even kill an ordinary person, keep in mind, the electric eel in rainforests can easily release 500 volts, and in extreme conditions, it can approach 800 volts, which only stuns crocodiles at most.

Essentially,

This special effect is similar to the ’Fierce Tiger Stance’s [Scorching] effect. Because its duration is too short, and the electric current is too weak, it’s hard to cause substantial damage in the early stages.

Both Martial Arts practices could have such effects thanks to Lu Chenzhou’s Martial Artist cultivation; if it were an ordinary Martial Artist, these two effects would be nearly non-existent.

Nonetheless, Lu Chenzhou was still happy.

For no other reason than that this effect could be improved.

One day, it would come in handy. Some powerful Martial Artists could also control fire and thunder, but these flames and thunder depend on strong human energy and Acupoints, fundamentally different from the Evil Skills of Cultists.

Without much hesitation, Lu Chenzhou integrated it thoroughly.

Before long, the fusion was complete.

The other effects were still accumulating incrementally towards qualitative change, so there was no need to go into detail. What changed significantly was the ninth power effect of the Heavenly Destiny Mystic Tiger, the effectiveness of the Palmar Thunder, which leaped from the original 300 volts to 500 volts.

Lu Chenzhou’s muscles and bones chimed together, his body hummed with friction, and an invisible pulse of electric current swept through him like a magnetic field before flowing out from his palms onto an iron pile.

Crackle and sparks flew in all directions.

"500 volts is still very weak, it could only catch my opponent off guard and slightly paralyze them. The effect is very minimal and needs improvement.

This move shall be called ’Thunderclap Palm.’"

Lu Chenzhou shook his head; Martial Artists’ physical qualities were too strong. He felt that at least a thousand volts were needed to play a considerable role in aiding combat.

"I’m just two First Rank Divine Seeds away from advancing to Fourth Rank. Even without the onset of inspiration, it will only take two or three months of work, and I’ll soon possess True Skill Martial Arts... and there’s a high probability that it will be Perfect Level, so I won’t need to start from scratch and train hard."

Lu Chenzhou was brimming with expectation.

On the Martial Arts Tree.

The Martial Arts category was lacking one complete Fist Technique.

"Tiger Roar Fist: Beginner (5%)"

"Let’s get started!"

...

May arrived quietly.

The 1st, in the morning.

During the Fist Technique class.

The people of the genius class looked towards the spots that used to belong to Wang Hongdao and Lu Chenzhou.

Chen Xiaoyun sighed,

"Chenzhou hasn’t come to practice boxing in a long time."

Since Lu Chenzhou’s promotion, their former classmate had become a senior.

She wasn’t as carefree as before.

She even missed the days when she teamed up with Lu Chenzhou.

Now, she wasn’t even qualified to undertake missions with Lu Chenzhou.

Leopard Woman, standing in the Fierce Tiger Stance, said,

"It’s said that Chenzhou is indulging in ordinary Martial Arts, and they are even third-rate..."

Xiao He was somewhat puzzled,

"Why would he do that? Shouldn’t he be learning True Skill Boxing?"

Old Tian said,

"Chenzhou probably wants to lay a solid foundation in Fist Theory first."

Yao Cheng said,

"Wang Hongdao has been in seclusion for a long time too; who knows if he has succeeded."

Zhou Xingkong, practicing his Dragon Claw Finger Power, carrying a pot with him, said,

"We can’t fall too far behind either."

Among the eight, he was the closest to becoming a Martial Artist.

But to break through, it would likely take until next year.

Suddenly.

In the Shi Hu Villa area, thunderous whale song echoed, even audible from the gymnasium. The genius class members changed expressions and then jubilantly said,

"The second Martial Artist of the branch school has been born!"

"Wang Hongdao is still strong... too bad he lost to Chenzhou."

They all knew the benefits of being the first Martial Artist in the branch school were immense.

...

At Villa No. 32.

Lu Chenzhou stood on the balcony looking at Wang Hongdao’s residence, seeing a giant whale surging upwards, breaking through the waves, soaring into the clouds, and couldn’t help but smile,

"Brother Wang, you’ve finally become a Martial Artist."

Seven days later.

Wang Hongdao emerged from his retreat, and the first thing he did was to visit Villa No. 32 to find Lu Chenzhou. He showed a sunny smile and got straight to the point,

"Brother Lu, let’s have a match."

This time.

On Lu Chenzhou’s suggestion, the battle site was set up in the gym’s personal Martial Arts Arena designed specifically for Martial Artists. Each Martial Arts Genius had one, convenient for inviting friends for sparring to avoid any disturbances.
