Zhu Tian: Starting from the Laughing Proud Yue Buqun

Chapter 142: Rapid Progress in Comprehending the One-Finger Divine Skill

Zhang Wuji had guessed Xu Qing's age; he estimated that Xu Qing was probably ten or twenty years older than him.

But to his utter surprise, his master's age was far greater than he had imagined.

Xu Qing smiled faintly; his age was naturally younger than Zhang Wuji's.

However, the true age cannot be calculated solely based on this body; it must include Xu Qing's age from his previous life and the world of Laughing at the World.

In total, he has lived for over two hundred years.

He is naturally older than Zhang Zhenren of this era.

"Master, how do you manage to maintain such a youthful appearance?" Zhang Wuji asked curiously.

You should know that his great-grandfather is now over a hundred years old and has white hair.

It's completely unlike Xu Qing, who is able to maintain such a youthful appearance.

"I am a rather special teacher, so you don't need to worry too much about this matter."

Xu Qing shook his head.

Zhang Wuji nodded, understanding that his master did not want to say more, so he did not pursue the matter further.

"Use your internal energy to restore your true qi, and I will then help you open up all the acupoints and major meridians in your body."

By mastering the Nine Yang Divine Skill, the risk of death from excessive consumption of true energy will be completely eliminated!

When Xu Qing got down to business, he said that he had fully grasped all the secrets of the Nine Yang Manual and could naturally help Zhang Wuji master this martial art.

"Yes, Master!"

Zhang Wuji's expression immediately turned solemn. He sat down on the spot, activated the Nine Yang Divine Skill, and began to recover his true energy.

After realizing that his new master was even older than the Wudang Grandmaster, and after witnessing all the miraculous abilities he had seen, he had no doubt about his master's capabilities.

Xu Qing nodded slightly and sat down. The [Enlightenment Moment] had already begun.

While Zhang Wuji was recovering his internal energy, he also planned to study the One-Finger Divine Skill.

The martial arts philosophy behind this famous technique of the Southern Emperor is extraordinary.

This finger technique is very powerful; it can be used to defend against enemies and to heal injuries, making it exceptionally effective.

Its realm is divided into grades, with the entry level being the ninth grade, the fourth grade being the mastery, and the first grade being the highest realm of this martial art.

Legend has it that if one can master the One-Finger Divine Skill to the fourth rank, one can become one of the top masters in the martial arts world.

Once you reach the fourth rank, the difficulty of advancing further increases exponentially.

Even those with exceptional comprehension need to spend a great deal of time studying and practicing.

The One-Finger Divine Skill at its peak can unleash power in mid-air, killing enemies from a distance. It is like an invisible sword aura, extremely difficult to dodge, and its power is astonishing, making it difficult for ordinary people to withstand.

Once you reach this level, you can cultivate the Duan family's strongest technique, the Six Meridians Divine Sword.

Xu Qing's mind was filled with information about this martial art, and he also had some thoughts about the Six Meridians Divine Sword, the strongest martial art of the Duan family.

Unfortunately, this martial art was lost hundreds of years ago.

Even the Southern Emperor had no chance to see him.

However, if the One-Finger Divine Skill can be mastered to its highest level, its power is no less than that of the Six Meridians Divine Sword.

However, apart from the person who created it, no one has yet been able to master the One-Finger Divine Skill to its highest level.

It is evident that this martial art is extremely difficult to master!
Xu Qing's martial arts level was extremely high, and with his rapidly increasing comprehension, he quickly advanced the One-Finger Divine Skill to the fourth level of mastery in just a short time!

He slowly extended a finger, and a sharp and surging finger force burst forth like an invisible sword aura.

The force of the finger pierced through the ceiling of the lobby, shooting up more than ten feet high before gradually dissipating.

"Its power is impressive; it truly lives up to its reputation as the Southern Emperor's ultimate technique, one of the most unparalleled divine skills of our time!"

Xu Qing nodded slightly, quite satisfied with the power of this martial art.

He knows a great many martial arts techniques, especially finger techniques.

But there is nothing that can compare to the One-Finger Divine Skill.

Even though it was obtained from Shaolin Temple, the Vajra Finger, one of the Seventy-Two Arts, is still inferior to the One-Finger Divine Skill in terms of power and mystery.

He glanced at Zhang Wuji, who was still circulating his internal energy to recover, and then immersed himself once again in comprehending the mysteries of the One-Finger Divine Skill.

This martial art is also extremely demanding on internal energy and spirit. If one's internal energy is not strong enough, it will be very difficult to unleash its power.

Xu Qing naturally met this requirement. His true energy was cultivated from the foundation of the "Martial Arts Classic," and it was formless and shapeless, combining yin and yang, encompassing everything, and extremely domineering.

It integrates the concepts of Taoism, Buddhism, and demonism into one, with an extremely lofty aim.

The true energy cultivated is of extremely high quality, and each strand of true energy is extremely powerful.

It is absolutely sufficient to support the performance of a martial art like One Finger Zen, which consumes a great deal of energy.

At this moment, under the combined effects of the [Enlightenment Moment] and the accelerated effect of the Nine Yang Divine Skill, Xu Qing's One Yang Finger skill was still rapidly improving.

He quickly rose from the fourth rank to the third rank, his finger strength becoming increasingly powerful, extremely strong and yang, and incredibly sharp.

Several hours later, Zhang Wuji's true energy was completely restored to its previous level.

Although he did not master the Nine Yang Divine Skill, he was unable to generate internal energy on his own.

However, the recovery speed of this martial art's internal energy far exceeds that of ordinary martial arts, and several hours are enough for him to recover his power.

"Is Master practicing martial arts?"

When Zhang Wuji opened his eyes, he immediately noticed a sharp aura emanating from Xu Qing, as sharp as a divine weapon.

It seemed that the power would erupt at any moment and be able to pierce through the sky.

It contains a will that can shatter the heavens!

Once any martial art is cultivated to a very high level, there is hope of comprehending the true meaning of martial arts contained within it.

Xu Qing naturally comprehended the true essence of martial arts contained in the One-Finger Divine Skill.

But it was never as domineering and tyrannical as it is now.

This will that shatters the heavens is the result of Xu Qing's own martial will merging with the true meaning of this technique, which led to this transformation.

In other words, at this moment, Xu Qing combined this unique finger technique of the Duan family with his own, transforming it into his own One-Finger Divine Skill.

"Such intense pressure!"

Zhang Wuji focused his mind and felt that this power was too strong, so he couldn't help but retreat a distance.

The next moment, Xu Qing pointed a finger out into the air.

The surrounding spiritual energy was activated by this finger, gathering and increasing the power contained within it.

Zhang Wuji was shocked, feeling that the world before him had changed drastically, and all the objects in the hall had disappeared.

The entire world was filled with only the shadow of that one finger!

There was a faint stinging pain between his eyebrows, as if his head would be completely pierced by this finger force and explode into dust in the next moment!
At that moment, Zhang Wuji felt as if he were about to die.

It was even more terrifying than when he was struck by the Xuanming Divine Palm of the Xuanming Elders.

But none of this happened.

When Zhang Wuji came to his senses, the hall in front of him was still the same, and Xu Qing stood with his hands behind his back, smiling faintly.

His back was already soaked with cold sweat. He opened his mouth, took a deep breath, and used the Nine Yang Divine Skill to suppress the palpitation.

"Master, what was that just now?"

Xu Qing said calmly, "The true meaning of martial arts can also be understood as a kind of martial arts artistic conception."

Zhang Wuji had very little combat experience and a very superficial understanding of the path of martial arts.

This is the first time I've ever witnessed such a wondrous power.

"Only those who comprehend the true meaning of martial arts can be called masters!"

Xu Qing's words deeply moved Zhang Wuji, who nodded blankly.

He was also aware of his own situation; he knew too little about the world and didn't understand many things.

"The true meaning of martial arts!" Zhang Wuji murmured.

His eyes gradually brightened, and a look of respect appeared on his face. He said, "Master must be the strongest expert in the world!"

Zhang Wuji increasingly realized that his newly sworn master possessed truly formidable strength!

Horrible!
The fact that he was able to become Xu Qing's disciple was definitely the greatest opportunity of his life!
