Chapter 27: Revision! A Monster!
"Where's the problem?"
Mo Qingyue's throat went dry as she stared at Chen Zhixing.
What kind of monster is this?
Even as the revered Saintess of the Heavenly Saint Palace, with a talent said to be unmatched in the ages, she had taken a whole half hour to learn and master the Burning Sky Technique.
But Chen Zhixing? From the moment she demonstrated until he replicated it, it couldn't have been more than ten breaths of time. This speed was simply astonishing!
"Generally speaking, the essence of ordinary techniques and divine abilities is to mobilize the power of the body's acupoints and link them together to form a specialized operational guide map."
Chen Zhixing looked at Mo Qingyue and then furrowed his brows, contemplating, "This technique involves a total of one hundred thirty-four acupoints. These acupoints form a complete system, indicating that the creator of this technique has some experience in techniques and divine abilities."
Mo Qingyue’s face twitched upon hearing this.
Just some experience? If the elder in the palace, who is reputed as an expert in techniques, heard this, he might vomit blood!
Chen Zhixing paused for a moment and then smiled slightly:
"But this technique is not perfect because among these one hundred thirty-four acupoints, the sixty-fourth acupoint, Shaoshang, is actually unsuitable for this technique. It’s clear that the creator couldn't find a suitable acupoint and used Shaoshang as a substitute."
"This causes a feeling of stagnation during the operation of the technique, which is to say, there is a blank period when casting the spell."
"This blank period is not an issue if you're suppressing someone of a lower realm."
"But if it's against someone of the same realm, even this slight stagnation can be fatal."
"Do you understand what I mean, Yue'er?"
"Is it the Shaoshang acupoint's problem?" Mo Qingyue's pupils constricted violently!
Chen Zhixing’s explanation, besides the Shaoshang acupoint, was almost identical to what the elder in the Heavenly Saint Palace had said!!
"Is there any way to solve it?" Mo Qingyue, for the first time, was visibly nervous.
Knowing the problem and solving it are two different matters.
"Naturally, there is a way." Chen Zhixing smiled and didn't rush to answer. Instead, he blinked and beckoned Mo Qingyue closer.
Mo Qingyue, seeing this, immediately sighed and said, "You’re really something, not revealing the answer until you get something in return. Don’t worry, if you can solve it, you won’t be short of benefits."
Chen Zhixing nodded and, without further hesitation, explained seriously:
"The Shaoshang acupoint is unsuitable because it is not an explosive acupoint. Simply replace Shaoshang with the Qichong acupoint!"
As he spoke, Chen Zhixing extended his hand, and a black flame almost instantaneously leaped out from his palm!
"See, isn't this much smoother and faster?" Chen Zhixing smiled slightly.
Mo Qingyue was stunned, her mouth agape.
The speed at which Chen Zhixing demonstrated the Burning Sky Technique was nearly three times faster than hers!
Had he effortlessly solved the problem that even the palace elder could not?
Just as she was trying to process this.
"Wait! There’s still room for improvement."
Chen Zhixing narrowed his eyes and continued talking to himself: "At the thirty-fifth node, the Fengchi acupoint can be replaced with the Fubai acupoint."
"At the fifty-ninth node, the Yutang acupoint can be replaced with the Jueque acupoint."
"At the seventy-first node, the Zijing acupoint can be replaced with the Jiuxi acupoint."
"Also, the one hundred and fourth node, the Yangchi acupoint, can also be replaced. Although this technique is a fire technique, being overly aggressive might be counterproductive. It would be better to add some Yin acupoints."
"For instance, the Qinglengyuan acupoint would be more suitable."
"Wait."
"Actually, it might be more extreme to use two guiding diagrams for this technique, one for extreme Yin and one for extreme Yang, and then merge these two guiding diagrams at the final Tongtian acupoint to form a flame that combines extreme Yin and extreme Yang."
As he spoke, Chen Zhixing’s eyes lit up, and he immediately began to test this idea, circulating his spiritual energy internally.
Mo Qingyue, listening to Chen Zhixing's monologue, felt her head spinning.
She recognized all these acupoints and their uses. However, as Chen Zhixing spoke about combinations and replacements, she was completely baffled.
When he suggested using two guiding diagrams to drive a single technique, she was utterly dumbfounded!
Heaven!
Every technique creation requires countless days and nights of experimentation and trial and error.
Any incorrect acupoint could lead to the complete failure of the technique’s guiding diagram!
Not to mention, it could even cause internal energy conflicts, risking the explosion of the body!
Thus, very few people in the cultivation world would dare to recklessly create techniques!
Most techniques and divine abilities that circulate in the world have undergone numerous refinements by predecessors before arriving at the best method!
And Chen Zhixing?
In just a few minutes, he completely overhauled the technique’s guiding diagram!
And even suggested using two guiding diagrams in a single technique!
Is this even human???
"Zhixing, perhaps we should find someone to experiment with this. Using yourself as a test subject is a bit too risky," Mo Qingyue couldn't help but suggest.
Before she could finish her sentence.
"Done!"
Chen Zhixing exhaled lightly, then flipped his right hand.
Whoosh!
A black-and-white flame immediately danced and twisted in his palm.
The high temperature caused the void to crackle, and the space seemed on the verge of collapsing!
However, strangely, at the edge of this flame, a pale chill emerged, freezing the void where the flame burned!
"???"
Mo Qingyue’s words were cut off.
Her mouth dropped open in shock as she stared at the flame in Chen Zhixing's palm.
Numb!
Completely numb!
Even as the revered Saintess of the Heavenly Saint Palace, who had faced many significant events with calmness, she felt like she had lost all composure in the face of this!
She could only imagine the overwhelming power if this technique were magnified thousands of times!
After a long while.
"This... this is already done?" Mo Qingyue’s throat moved slightly, her eyes still filled with uncontrollable amazement.
"Yes."
Chen Zhixing nodded and then closed his hand, making the black-and-white flame vanish.
He casually said, "The time was too rushed this time. Given more time, I could further enhance this technique."
"But that's not necessary, as any further improvement would make the technique too difficult to practice. Yue'er, you might not be able to learn it."
Upon hearing this, Mo Qingyue opened her mouth as if to say something but ultimately sighed deeply and lowered her head.
This guy is too crushing!
