The destiny of all heavens begins in the Red Chamber

Putting aside other matters, Jia Huan had his own considerations regarding martial arts training, and he even had a rather rigorous plan, thanks to the assistance of a virtual control panel.

If his understanding of internal energy cultivation weren't still somewhat lacking, he would have considered modifying some details of the Hunyuan Gong cultivation method to better suit his own needs.

The percentage progress bar on the virtual panel actually represents the degree of compatibility between the martial arts being practiced and the user.

After mastering the Hunyuan Gong, the compatibility rate immediately reached 65%!

Amazingly, as my physical fitness continues to improve, the compatibility, or progress bar, is still slowly increasing, and it is now approaching 70%.

Needless to say, it is clear that practicing the Hunyuan Gong requires a certain level of physical fitness.

Just as he had guessed, although he had already mastered the basics of the Hunyuan Gong, his body did not develop in the direction of becoming bulky and rough.

Of course, he was quite tall and strong at the time, but he didn't show it outwardly.

According to the experience of the Dream of the Red Chamber world, such a physical condition is clearly the result of cultivating Qi and Blood Martial Arts.

To Jia Huan's delight, because of his exceptional performance and the Beggars' Sect's frequent achievements, coupled with the strong support of Vice Sect Leader Zhang Jinbie, Sect Leader Xie Feng generously taught Jia Huan a move of the Dragon Subduing Palm technique!

The Flying Dragon in the Sky from the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms!

When Jia Huan received the news, he was completely shocked.

He really wanted to ask, "Is the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms really that low-class?"

Isn't it said that only the core members and high-ranking members of the Beggars' Sect can cultivate this skill, or only those who have made great contributions can achieve it?

Oh, he understands now, he should be recognized for his meritorious service and awarded!

Jia Huan had originally hoped that he might have the chance to learn the Dragon Subduing Palm technique in the future!

After all, they've become disciples of the Beggars' Sect. If they don't learn the Dragon Subduing Palm Technique, wouldn't their trip be in vain?

Unexpectedly, the gang leader Jie Feng and the deputy gang leader Zhang Jinbie were so helpful, directly teaching him the Flying Dragon in the Sky palm technique.

After learning the moves of Flying Dragon in the Sky and the method of circulating internal energy, he couldn't help but sigh: As expected of the renowned ultimate skill in the world of martial arts, the Dragon Subduing Palm truly lives up to its name.

The technique of channeling energy in the "Flying Dragon in the Sky" move was quite simple for Jia Huan, and he mastered it with ease.

After all, the art of Qi and Blood Martial Arts emphasizes the subtle control over the body and the power of one's strength.

Although he hasn't recovered to his peak form from the Dream of the Red Chamber era, the single move "Flying Dragon in the Sky" is actually not that difficult in terms of the power application technique.

The real difficulty lies in the internal energy circulation techniques of this move, as well as the methods of palm strike output.

When he finally practiced this palm technique, he understood why people always said that mastering the Dragon Subduing Palm Technique required strong internal energy; otherwise, it would be very difficult to learn.

If it's just one or two palm strikes, the situation is alright; with long-term practice, one can barely reach the required level.

For example, a certain elder of the Beggars' Sect in the Legend of the Condor Heroes received a Dragon Subduing Palm technique from Hong Qigong, and was able to fight Ouyang Ke to a standstill, which shows how powerful the Dragon Subduing Palm is.

In fact, the reason why cultivating the Dragon Subduing Palm requires strong internal energy is not because there is such a rigid requirement, but because the practitioner needs to have a considerable degree of control over their own internal energy.

Generally, those with profound internal energy cultivation, unless they are mediocre true qi masters like Duan Yu, usually have a considerable degree of control over their own internal energy.

It doesn't need to be meticulous; as long as you can use the power of the Dragon Subduing Palm and the method of internal energy circulation as easily as you can control your arm, that's enough!

This is not a problem for Jia Huan either!

Then, in a very short time, he mastered the "Flying Dragon in the Sky" palm technique and was able to apply it in actual combat, causing his combat power to soar rapidly.

To put it simply, if the opponent is caught off guard and he suddenly unleashes a "Flying Dragon in the Sky" move, even a top-tier martial arts master would not be able to withstand it.

After careful consideration, Jia Huan realized that the reason was actually quite simple: the Dragon Subduing Palm was quite unique in its application of force and the circulation of internal energy.

It allows one to exert only ten parts of their strength to produce fifteen parts of the effect.

Think about it, internal energy can increase the output of palm power. With the special techniques of the Dragon Subduing Palm, the power of a single palm strike could probably be amplified to about twenty times the pure palm power.

No wonder the Sweeper Monk during the Tianlong era exclaimed after being struck by a palm: "The Dragon Subduing Palm is the most powerful and fierce in the world!"

Jia Huan himself, by using the move "Flying Dragon in the Sky", directly boosted his combat power to the first-class level in the martial arts world.

Of course, he didn't reveal it directly; it was part of his inner strength.

In fact, he was more interested in the special power circulation of the Dragon Subduing Palm and the internal energy circulation.

Why does the force increase so much after being manipulated like this? Why does the output power of internal energy increase significantly after being circulated in that way? This is quite remarkable.

If we can figure it out and understand the underlying principles, given Jia Huan's medical skills and mastery of the body, he will be able to achieve astonishing results with any move he makes in the future.

Unfortunately, I only learned one move. Although I had some ideas and researched it, I didn't have enough data and comparisons, so the effect wasn't very obvious.

Of course, he wasn't in a hurry!

What's amusing is that the gang leader, Jie Feng, and the deputy gang leader, Zhang Jinbie, were worried that he wouldn't be able to master the "Flying Dragon in the Sky" palm technique, so they didn't forget to encourage him whenever they encountered him.

"You're still young, there's no need to be in such a hurry. Once your internal energy cultivation improves, you'll naturally master this Dragon Subduing Palm technique. Don't be too impatient!"

This is Xie Feng's explanation, and it has a rather sincere and honest tone.

In fact, Xie Feng was quite optimistic about Jia Huan's future and had no intention of suppressing him.

Despite his personal moral issues, it doesn't mean he didn't want the Beggars' Sect to flourish and rise again to become the most famous and powerful sect in the world.

Besides, although Jia Huan was promoted by Zhang Jinbie, he did not get involved in the dirty struggles within the Beggars' Sect, making him a relatively intelligent neutral party.

The internal struggles within the Beggars' Sect have not yet reached a point of either/or. Neutral factions with strength and potential are still highly valued, at least because they do not have much selfishness in their hearts.

Zhang Jinbie's words of comfort were similar, but he went into more detail: "Cultivate slowly. You are still young, and your future is limitless. Don't be too anxious!"

"Once you reach a certain level of strength, you'll be able to learn even more Dragon Subduing Palm techniques!"

"It's the Dog-Beating Stick Technique. As long as you make enough contributions, you can learn it ahead of time!"

Jia Huan was somewhat surprised and asked curiously, "Isn't it said that only the gang leader can practice the Dog-Beating Stick Technique?"

"That tradition is long gone. In fact, any eight-bag elder can cultivate!"

Zhang Jinbie smiled wryly, "The Dog-Beating Stick Technique is simply too exquisite. If you're not quick-witted, you simply can't learn it. Even if you manage to learn it, you'll only have the form; you won't be able to grasp its essence!"

"Unlike the Dragon Subduing Palm Technique, which can be mastered with diligent practice, the Dog Beating Stick Technique cannot be learned!"

Jia Huan hadn't expected that the Beggars' Sect had dwindled to such a severe degree.

Not a single one of the high-ranking officials was able to learn the Dog-Beating Stick Technique?

Judging from Zhang Jinbie's words, this was the main reason why they were willing to share the Dog-Beating Stick Technique, which symbolized the gang leader's ultimate skill, with the Eight-Bag Elder.

Fortunately, I can still learn a few moves of the Dragon Subduing Palm. Although its power is not as great as before, it is still passable in the world of Swordsman.

As internal martial arts decline further, even the Dragon Subduing Palm might become a legendary skill that can only be admired but not learned.

In fact, by the time of "The Sword Stained with Royal Blood," the Beggars' Sect had completely disappeared.

It's not that there are no more beggars, but rather that the Beggars' Sect, a nationwide martial arts gang, has disappeared.

Clearly, the Beggars' Sect's higher-ups couldn't maintain order, and the entire sect fell apart.

Pulling his scattered thoughts back, Jia Huan was in a pretty good mood.

In fact, even if the Beggar Clan leader Xie Feng hadn't taught him the Flying Dragon in the Sky move of the Dragon Subduing Palm, he would have taken out a palm technique from the Beggar Clan's armory to practice, so that the internal energy cultivated from the Hunyuan Gong could be used to its fullest potential.

To his surprise, he discovered two martial arts techniques from Peach Blossom Island in the Beggars' Sect's armory—the Splitting Palm and the Azure Wave Palm!

But it makes sense when you think about it, after all, Huang Rong was the leader of the Beggars' Sect for a long time.

Later, his son-in-law Yelü Qi became the leader of the Beggars' Sect, so it's normal that he left behind some martial arts techniques that didn't belong to the Beggars' Sect.

Besides, neither the Splitting Palm nor the Azure Wave Palm can be considered the true ultimate techniques of Peach Blossom Island.

The Splitting Palm technique, in particular, requires extremely high internal strength, even exceeding the basic threshold for performing the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, which is quite exaggerated.

Nowadays, very few people can use the Splitting Palm technique anymore.

It is estimated that there are no more than two people in the entire martial arts world who can use the Splitting Palm normally and exert sufficient power!

The Azure Wave Palm technique, however, suits Jia Huan's taste perfectly!

This is the basic martial arts of Peach Blossom Island, which would be considered somewhere between second-rate and first-rate in the martial arts world. Of course, that refers to the era of The Legend of the Condor Heroes and The Return of the Condor Heroes; in today's terms, it would definitely be a common first-rate martial art.

Without any hesitation, Jia Huan copied the manual and then immediately began practicing the basics.

This palm technique, while still demanding a high level of internal strength, also possesses remarkably sophisticated methods for channeling that strength. Jia Huan pondered that if combined with the energy cultivation methods of Qi and Blood Martial Arts, as well as the power cultivation methods of the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, the resulting power would be beyond imagination!

Upon seeing the familiar martial arts techniques, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

More than two hundred years have passed, but many of the martial arts techniques from the era of The Legend of the Condor Heroes and The Return of the Condor Heroes have still been preserved.

I wonder how many powerful martial arts traditions are passed down in Emei?

At this time, Jia Huan had already cultivated internal energy in the Hunyuan Gong, and had also learned the Flying Dragon in the Sky from the Dragon Subduing Palm, as well as the Splitting Palm and Azure Wave Palm passed down from Peach Blossom Island.

In terms of combat prowess alone, he has already firmly entered the top tier of the martial arts world!

I'd guess he's at the same level as Zhang Jinbie, who's just entered the martial arts world and is considered a top-tier player.

Of course, if it really came down to a fight, Zhang Jinbie probably wouldn't stand a chance!

It can be said that Jia Huan has now firmly established himself in the world of Swordsman.

Even if he were surrounded by martial arts masters of the same level, as long as it wasn't a desperate situation, he was confident he could escape.

From now on, there's no need for me to follow Zhang Jinbie around anymore. I can participate in Jianghu affairs as a seventh-bag disciple of the Beggars' Sect without anyone complaining.
