76: Chapter 76 Zhang Chi: Is this kid even human?

"Zhang Chi, it seems your palm technique has regressed!"

"Even my Disciple can land a hit on you!"

Zhao Kailai gloated from the side; he couldn't be the only one suffering a blow to his pride.

Sharing joy is better than keeping it to oneself, after all!

Zhang Chi rolled his eyes vigorously.

This Zhao Kailai was being far too smug!

"Fine. Now, I will begin teaching you the Rushing Thunder Hand!"

Zhang Chi said to Jiang Ling, "Your fist technique cultivation is quite good. Cultivating the Rushing Thunder Hand should be very fast for you!"

"Back then, it took me a total of four months to reach the entry level of the Rushing Thunder Hand!"

"With my guidance, you should be able to reach the entry level in three months!"

"Understood!" Jiang Ling nodded.

Hearing Zhang Chi say this, Zhao Kailai was already prepared to see him look demoralized.

At least I didn't mention how long it took me to reach entry level, yet you actually blurted it out yourself.

If the blow doesn't land on you, who else would it land on?

Let's see where you'll hide your old face in a moment!

"The Rushing Thunder Hand mainly focuses on the word 'Rushing'!"

"Don't think of it as just a palm technique. In fact, it contains the profound mysteries of the Bagua positions; it is extremely complex!"

"Bagua constitutes the footwork, centered on the 'Rushing' aspect, while Thunder corresponds to the Zhen Hexagram within the Bagua!"

"As everyone knows, the Bagua can be deduced infinitely!"

"The Bagua can deduce the Sixty-four Hexagrams, and the Sixty-four Hexagrams can deduce four thousand and ninety-six hexagrams... it is endless..."

"As long as your strength is sufficient, the power of the Rushing Thunder Hand can be enhanced infinitely!"

...

Zhang Chi introduced the basic principles of the Rushing Thunder Hand to Jiang Ling.

Jiang Ling nodded continuously while listening. This palm technique really seemed quite profound!

If he were to comprehend it on his own, it would definitely take much longer.

Having a teacher to guide him directly was much better!

After introducing the basic principles, Zhang Chi slowly walked the Bagua steps inside the training room, demonstrating the foundational footwork and strikes of the Rushing Thunder Palm.

"Come, you try it once!"

Jiang Ling nodded. "Yes!"

Then, Jiang Ling replicated it perfectly without the slightest error.

"Your talent is very high!"

Zhang Chi nodded in appreciation. "You've made it look quite decent after seeing it only once!"

"Then I can teach you the following power-exertion secrets!"

"Come, watch how I erupt power through the Zhen Hexagram!"

"You possess a Lightning-type Supernatural Ability. Performing the Rushing Thunder Hand will further increase its power!"

...

Zhang Chi quickly turned around and struck out with a palm. A series of crackling lightning sounds suddenly erupted in the air.

"Your turn!"

Zhang Chi said to Jiang Ling.

"Yes!"

Jiang Ling followed suit. Again, it was flawless, and an even more powerful sound of lightning erupted in the air.

*Hiss!*

Zhang Chi's eyes widened.

When he first reached this step, it had taken him over ten days.

Jiang Ling learned it just by watching once?

This Comprehension Ability... is really a bit too high, isn't it?

"Not bad, you have already mastered the basic power exertion!"

"Next, I will teach you the variations of the Sixty-four Hexagrams!"

"The Rushing Thunder Hand must be practiced to at least the Sixty-four Hexagrams to be considered truly formed!"

"Come, I will demonstrate it for you!"

...

The rhythm that followed was...

Zhang Chi would demonstrate once, and Jiang Ling would replicate it perfectly.

Zhang Chi would demonstrate again, and Jiang Ling would replicate it perfectly again.

Zhang Chi would just say a few words, and Jiang Ling would present it perfectly.

Zhang Chi would say a few more words, and Jiang Ling would take it a step further!

...

Zhao Kailai watched Zhang Chi's constipated expression from the side, his heart blooming with joy.

This Disciple of his was truly a great tool for dealing blows to others!

In the future, if he had a grudge against anyone, he would just bring Jiang Ling to learn a Martial Skill from them. Any grudge would be avenged!

"Teacher, I think this palm strike can be done like this!"

After another demonstration of the Rushing Thunder Hand by Zhang Chi, Jiang Ling suddenly had a flash of inspiration. "There's no need to finish all Sixty-four Hexagrams; one can evolve them based on proximity!"

"Interspersing them can make the Rushing Thunder Palm even more powerful!"

...

Jiang Ling demonstrated his idea to Zhang Chi. A burst of lightning flashed, and its power was indeed more rapid and intense than what Zhang Chi had demonstrated earlier!

"This..."

Zhang Chi's eyes widened.

Jiang Ling had actually figured out other ways to utilize the Rushing Thunder Hand?

He tried it and found that it was indeed feasible, and moreover, the power was even greater.

*Hiss!*

"This kid, what kind of freak is he?"

"He completely grasped the Rushing Thunder Hand so quickly, and he can even make improvements on the original basis?"

"I've Cultivated for so many years and never discovered this point that could be improved!"

...

"You are very good. You've almost reached the entry level of the Rushing Thunder Hand so quickly!"

Zhang Chi could only smile stiffly as he praised Jiang Ling.

"Now you can try to perform the whole thing. If there are any mistakes, I will point them out for you!"

"Yes!"

Jiang Ling immediately began practicing inside the training room.

*Crackle...*

As soon as Jiang Ling started, purple lightning immediately swirled around his body.

*Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...*

Soon, Jiang Ling began to rush rapidly according to the Bagua positions, soaring with the thunder. His entire being seemed to have transformed into a God of Thunder.

Zhang Chi unconsciously began to retreat to avoid being injured by Jiang Ling.

"This kid, in such a short time, has he really reached the entry level completely?"

"This is too Heaven-Defying!"

"It took me a full four months back then!"

...

"How is it?"

Zhao Kailai teased Zhang Chi from the side, "Old Zhang, my Disciple's Aptitude is alright, isn't it?"

"He's already at the entry level!"

"And it took you four months back then!"

Zhang Chi rolled his eyes and said, "It's because I taught him well!"

"Bah, you're truly shameless!" Zhao Kailai spat.

Jiang Ling began to sprint through Zhang Chi's training room. As he continuously struck with his palms, the thunder on his body grew more and more violent.

In the end, it actually formed a storm!

The power of the Rushing Thunder Hand was being fully unleashed by Jiang Ling.

However, Jiang Ling did not stop. Instead, he continued to sprint and strike with his palms, expanding the range of the storm further and further!

Watching Jiang Ling's Rushing Thunder Hand, Zhao Kailai couldn't help but feel a bit surprised. "Old Zhang, is this still the Rushing Thunder Hand?"

"Why does it feel stronger than yours!"

"He..." Zhang Chi stared with wide eyes, his face full of shock and disbelief, "He is evolving the four thousand and ninety-six hexagrams!"

"What?"

Zhao Kailai was also stunned.

"This... can he succeed?"

"I don't know!" Zhang Chi felt as if his brain had short-circuited.

Because the four thousand and ninety-six hexagrams of the Rushing Thunder Hand required too much calculation and were too complex, he hadn't dared to attempt it for all these years.

Yet, Jiang Ling had just reached the entry level and was already starting to evolve the four thousand and ninety-six hexagrams?

"Then... will he be in danger?"

Zhao Kailai asked again.

This was Zhao Kailai's biggest concern!

"Definitely!"

Zhang Chi said, "If he fails, he will surely suffer a powerful backlash of blood and Qi. If the backlash is too intense, he might even explode and die!"

"Holy shit!"

"Then do you have any way to stop him?"

Zhao Kailai panicked.

Why couldn't this Disciple of his just let him have some peace of mind?
