novelLeft and Right Inter-Fighting
| ← Ch.188 | Ch.190 → |
Zhou Botong had always been innocent and curious in his life, particular about the novel items and martial arts that he had never seen before.
In the Hundred Flowers Valley during the day, after Ji Ye and Yang Guo invited him to meet some people, he figured out who they were referring to and instantly wanted to run off.
But Yang Guo managed to intrigue him with the Deadly Grief Palm that Little Dragon Maiden created so that Ji Ye could inform him of the matter.
Ordinary people might not be able to tell the source of the power of the Dragon Aura that Ji Ye released.
However, the top experts like Zhou Botong and Reverend Yideng could definitely do that. More importantly, Zhou Botong's room was right across the hall.
Therefore, he couldn't help but cry out when he saw Ji Ye fly out of his room.
"Old Kid!"
Seeing that the Old Kid came out of the room, Ji Ye constricted the white Dragon Aura below his feet and stored it in his body.
"Brother Ji, you teach me the trick to create a dragon, and I teach you the technique through which you can fight yourself. How does it sound?"
After watching what Ji Ye just did, Zhou Botong seemed even more enticed.
"This technique is kind of unique. You can't learn it. However, I have a similar technique that I can exchange with you, Old Kid!"
Ji Ye smiled after he landed.
Then, he told the Old Kid the knowledge about Battle Aura!
"Huh? Interesting! Interesting! I didn't know there's such a technique!"
Battle Aura was quite similar to Dragon Aura in a certain way. The Old Kid was quite enthused.
Hum!
While listening to Ji Ye, he tried to practice it. After only a short while, a translucent light that represented Battle Aura somehow emitted from the center of his eyebrows!
"Huh?"
Ji Ye was rather surprised.
On the Battlefield of Providence, it was impossible to transform the technique that someone taught into one's own skill with Honor.
Besides, Zhou Botong, as a mere projection of the Battlefield of Providence, couldn't have had any Honor at all.
But on second thought, Ji Ye realized what just happened.
On one hand, he had fused "Dragon Aura" and "Self", and he took Battle Aura into the fusion too.
Because of that, his understanding of Battle Aura improved to a higher level, and he somewhat created a way of cultivating Battle Aura for human beings.
On the other hand, the Eagle Men's Battle Auras were essentially a combination of inner strength and mental power.
Although the Old Kid was a martial artist, the techniques he had been practicing belonged to the Daoist School, and they also focused on both inner strength and mental power.
In addition, the Old Kid didn't just practice the martial arts of the Daoist School; his inner strength was actually based on the Nine Yin Sutra, a technique that Huang Chang learned from the Daoist classics and contained mental attack tricks such as Soul Transference!
Therefore, it was not hard to imagine that Zhou Botong didn't just have Extraordinary inner strength but also a mental power higher than Extraordinary Rank-5. It was very easy for him to cultivate Battle Aura on that foundation!
The reason why the Old Kid could listen to Ji Ye's interpretation while practicing the trick was that he had created a unique technique.
"Haha. When I was trapped on Peach Blossom Island by Evil Huang, I was lonely, so I let my left hand and my right hand fight. Then, I created this interesting technique..."
After condensing some Battle Aura, Zhou Botong proudly told Ji Ye the Left and Right Inter-fighting Technique he invented.
[Left and Right Inter-fighting]
[Level: Extraordinary]
[Rarity: Superior (Rare)]
[Description: This is Zhou Botong "the Old Kid"'s ultimate technique. Only the talented can grasp it. After it's grasped, one will be able to multitask and perform different techniques in both hands!]
Multitasking was also one of the reasons why Zhou Botong could understand the Battle Aura so quickly.
He could practice it simultaneously while he listened to Ji Ye's interpretation.
For Ji Ye, this technique was even more significant.
If he could really grasp "Left and Right Inter-fighting", thereby becoming capable of multitasking, then he would be able to attack the enemy with the Nine Yang Divine Art while he ambushed them from their rear with the Jade Dragon Sword.
It would also mean that he could construct an illusion with the Mirage Dragon Pearl while launching an attack with it or command the Soul Alpha Wolf while dealing with the enemy by using the Dragon Aura!
With the combination of different methods, his overall strength would easily be doubled!
Moreover, this technique was only the weakened Extraordinary version in the Battlefield of Providence.
In fact, back in the original novel, when one's expertise at this technique reached a certain level, they could even copy their mind into multiple clones!
"The first step to practice Left and Right Inter-fighting is to draw a circle with your left hand and a square with your right hand at the same time. You're to finish the task in one second!"
Ji Ye's mental power was already above Extraordinary Rank-5. Plus all the resources he took in, he almost had an eidetic memory at this moment.
After Zhou Botong elaborated on the technique in detail, he memorized its content and tips and turned it into his skill.
However, unlike Zhou Botong who had picked up Battle Aura after only a short while of practice, even though Ji Ye had tried hard, he failed to complete the first step of Left and Right Inter-fighting—"drawing a circle with your left hand and a square with your right hand at the same time"—after an hour of practice.
"Brother Ji, is it too hard for you?"
By now, the Old Kid could even cover his fists with the translucent gray Battle Aura!
He was rather surprised to see that Ji Ye was still drawing circles and squares.
"..."
Ji Ye seemed more or less embarrassed.
It was true that he was incapable of picking "Left and Right Inter-fighting" so quickly.
"Left and Right Inter-fighting" was a special Superior technique, just like Yan Qing's "True Seer".
It depended on one's talent how well they could grasp this technique!
In fact, this technique was even harder than "True Seer" for the beginners."Drawing a circle with your left hand and a square with your right hand at the same time" alone wasn't an easy task for those who had never practiced.
That was also the most basic requirement. The more one practiced, the harder the requirements would be.
In the original novel, those who had pure and unsophisticated hearts, such as Guo Jing and Little Dragon Maiden, were more likely to grasp "Left and Right Inter-fighting", whereas Huang Rong, who was undoubtedly the smartest person in the whole book, could never really learn it.
"Cough!"
Ji Ye had to admit that he was probably too smart.
After all, he had the highest score in the college entrance exam in Yang City. He was definitely not too stupid to grasp it.
Well, that had to be it!
"Yikes. Brother Ji, it seems that you can't let your left hand and right hand fight. What should we do?"
Zhou Botong scratched his head and said awkwardly.
"I've already learned the technique you taught me; I can't give it back to you now.
"How about this. I'll teach you a fist technique that I created on Peach Blossom Island. You can block the enemy's attack with this technique even if your inner strength is lower.
"I created this technique exactly because I thought my inner strength was too weak for me to beat Evil Huang. It could help me defeat him even though I was weaker!"
After thinking for a long time, the Old Kid patted his head and came up with a solution.
"A fist technique?"
So, when it was almost dawn, a new technique appeared on Ji Ye's skill bar.
[Hollow Bright Fist]
[Level: Extraordinary]
[Rarity: Superior]
[Description: This is the subtlest fist technique in the world that Zhou Botong created. It hits the enemy where they're weak and makes up for your deficiencies!]
It was another Superior technique.
Also, just like "Left and Right Inter-fighting", this technique also had Transcendent features in the original novel.
Because the fist technique was extremely subtle, after the Old Kid grasped the best of the technique, he could dissolve the enemy's inner strength attack of any attributes with this technique.
Ji Ye intuitively thought that if he could find a way to improve this technique to Perfect with Fusion, he might be able to get a Transcendent "fist force" that could resist energy attacks of all attributes.
In that way, his fist would be able to break any attack that was aimed at him!
To some extent, the Hollow Bright Fist was as useful to him as the Left and Right Inter-fighting was.
"However, Old Kid, this was supposed to be a fair exchange. You already taught me 'Left and Right Inter-fighting'; I was just incapable of picking it up.
"I will give you this for the Hollow Bright Fist that you taught me!"
After Ji Ye learned the technique, he took out a Serpent of Death sniper rifle from his Void Ring and gave it to Zhou Botong.
"This is called a 'sniper rifle'. Its shooting range can be as far as several kilometers. You can kill the birds in the sky with this.
"This is fun! This is fun!"
Naturally, the Old Kid was very excited about the gun, which was absolutely new to him.
Then, he couldn't help but scratch his head.
He had intended to return the favor that Ji Ye offered the spiritual liquid to Aunt Ying by giving him the two techniques.
Yet Ji Ye had given something back to him, and this sniper rifle was so fun that he was reluctant to refuse it.
When could he really return the favor?
