You are just making up the exercises, my disciple, have you really mastered them?

Chapter 33: Disciple, I will teach you the Dragon Subduing Palm

　　Boom!

Li Xuan struck out with a palm, and his energy and blood turned into a torrent and hit a thigh-thick tree dozens of feet away. The big tree was instantly shattered by this palm, turning into debris and flying everywhere in the sky.

“The power is quite good, but it consumes a lot of energy and blood.

“Sure enough, relying solely on the brute force of qi and blood will not work. If you encounter an opponent of similar strength, you will definitely suffer.

"I already have an idea of ​​this palm technique. I just need to compile a set of palm formulas and give them to Xu Yan."

Li Xuan breathed out a breath.

"What about Shenfa? How to teach it? I don't know how, how can I show it to my disciples? How can I show it by relying on brute force, and it can't show the sublimity of Shenfa?"

Thinking about the problem of body skills, Li Xuan got a headache again.

"Am I wrong? Why should I show it to my disciple? Can't I just teach him the formula and frame the theory and let him understand it on his own?"

 Thinking about this, Li Xuan suddenly had an idea.

 Find a flat place outside the village.

 “How to draw Bagua?”

 Li Xuan recalled the Bagua patterns he had seen in his previous life, and waved his hands, and lines of energy and blood surged out, drawing on the ground.

 “That seems to be the case.”

 Looking at the gossip drawn on the ground, Li Xuan nodded with satisfaction.

 When Xu Yan comes back, let him practice his body skills here.

By the way, let him understand the Eight Diagrams. What if he can gain something?

Everything is ready, just waiting for Xu Yan, the apprentice, to come back.

 Li Xuan felt relaxed all over.

 …

 Xu Yan came back less than ten days after returning home.

 After violently overthrowing the bandit's den, Xu Yan realized that he lacked martial arts skills. Xu Yan did not stay at home for long and hurried back.

 “Master!”

Xu Yan saluted respectfully, thinking carefully about how to speak and ask his master about martial arts.

"Um."

Li Xuan nodded, stood up and walked out of the village.

"It's a good time that you're back. Come with me."

Teaching the disciple martial arts skills before he opens his mouth shows that the master has already seen through everything.

 “Yes, Master!”

Xu Yan was confused and didn’t know what the master’s instructions were.

 Arrived outside the small village, on a hillside.

Li Xuan clasped his hands behind his back and said, "Disciple, although you have already started martial arts, you still have a lot of energy and blood, but you don't know how to use it or how to deal with the enemy.

“Martial arts is not just about having a realm. The more powerful a warrior is, the more subtle and powerful the martial arts and magical powers he masters.”

Hearing this, Xu Yan was very excited: "Master wants to teach me martial arts magical powers? Finally, I am no longer a reckless man who can only use brute force!"

Li Xuan turned around, looked at his silly apprentice, and said in a deep voice: "Today, I will teach you the Dragon Subduing Palm. This is both a martial skill and a martial arts magical power. The higher the realm, the deeper the understanding, and the stronger the power."

Since it is martial arts, Li Xuan originally wanted to call this palm technique the Eighteen Palms of Subduing the Dragon, but then he thought that the eighteen palms were too restrictive and might limit the disciple's understanding.

 Let's just call it "Dragon Subduing Palm". The name is not important, but the power is the key.

Furthermore, he positioned the Dragon Subduing Palm in such a way that it can be continuously improved as the realm improves, reaching the level of martial arts magical power.

 As for whether it can be successful, it all depends on the apprentice’s perception.

 “Dragon Subduing Palm!”

Xu Yan was immediately excited: "Thank you so much, Master!"

“Dragon is a divine beast with great power and is born with supernatural powers... Disciple, do you know?”

Li Xuan asked.

"Master, my disciple once saw the legend of the real dragon in an ancient story book. It is a symbol of supreme power. When it moves, wind and thunder rise, and the sky and earth change color..." Xu Yan said respectfully.

“There is actually a legend about dragons in this world? I don’t know if the storybook Xu Yan read was actually made up, or if it really existed in the world.”

Li Xuan was surprised.

Since there are also dragon legends in this world, and Xu Yan has read the relevant legends, it will be much easier to handle.

“Master, does a real dragon really exist in this world?”

Xu Yan spoke excitedly and curiously.

"This is too far away from you. Whether it is there or not, you will naturally know it when you are strong."

 Li Xuan naturally would not give exact answers to these questions.

 “Yes, Master!”

 Xu Yan nodded respectfully.

“Well, I will teach you the Dragon Subduing Palm. Since this palm is named ‘Dragon Subduing’, you should know how powerful it is.”

 “Disciple understands!”

 “Just keep an eye on it.”

Li Xuan said, raised his hand and slapped it with his palm.

　　Boom!

The powerful energy and blood were so terrifying that it instantly smashed a thigh-thick tree dozens of feet away into pieces!

 Xu Yan was shocked!

 Is the Dragon Subduing Palm so terrifyingly powerful?

 Li Xuan was very satisfied with his reaction, put his hands behind his back, opened his eyes and started to lie: "This is the entry into the Qi and Blood Realm, showing the power of the Dragon Subduing Palm.

“However, in order not to interfere with your understanding of your own true meaning of subduing the dragon, my master was unable to take action in the form of the dragon subduing palm.”

Xu Yan listened respectfully, his face flushed, which showed his inner excitement.

“This is just a palm that the master casually struck when he was just starting out in the Qi and Blood Realm. It has such terrifying power. Moreover, the master did not strike in the form of the Dragon Subduing Palm. This Dragon Subduing Palm is really extremely powerful!”

Li Xuan looked serious and began to explain the Dragon Subduing Palm, saying: "With the form of the Dragon Subduing Palm, a dragon-shaped palm force is blasted out with one palm. It is as powerful and powerful as a dragon. The deeper you understand, the more true dragon palm power you can exert." many…"

Then he clapped a few palms casually and explained to the disciple: "I didn't demonstrate the power of the True Dragon Palm to you because I was afraid that you would fall into the true dragon's intention in the Master's Dragon Subduing Palm. Once you fall into it, you will not be able to practice." Create your own Dragon Subduing Palm.

“I don’t want you to be bound by my shadow. There is no limit to martial arts. I hope you can cultivate your own true meaning.

 “Do you understand?”

 You are a teacher with good intentions!

 It’s definitely not because you can’t produce dragon-shaped palm power that you don’t demonstrate it!

Li Xuan looked serious.

Xu Yan was deeply moved: "Master is really a peerless master. He accepted me as his disciple. Not only did he teach me martial arts, he also placed high hopes on me, hoping that I could find my own true meaning of martial arts.

 “Rather, under the shadow of the master, you will never be able to transcend in your lifetime!”

His eyes were red with excitement, he nodded and said: "Master, disciple understands!"

"Very good! This Dragon Subduing Palm is just like the martial arts method taught to you by a teacher. It emphasizes understanding and intention rather than the form. You have to understand it and understand its true meaning.

"When will you be able to exert the power of eighteen real dragon palms at the same time? It will be considered a success at this stage."

 Li Xuan once again taught his disciples, as he always said, that they should focus on understanding and meaning, and don't pay attention to the few palms just demonstrated. They should understand it themselves from the theoretical framework of the Dragon Subduing Palm.

 “Yes, disciple understands!”

Xu Yan nodded.

Li Xuan nodded with satisfaction, and before passing on the formula he made up for the Dragon Subduing Palm, he asked: "Disciple, do you have any questions?"

This is a routine inquiry. After teaching, always ask if there is anything the disciples do not understand.

 “Master, I have a doubt.”

Xu Yan opened his mouth and said.

"explain!"

“Master, since the Dragon Subduing Palm is for subduing dragons, why does it produce dragon-shaped palm power?”

Xu Yan asked with a puzzled look on his face.

Li Xuan:…
