16: Teaching Bajiquan
The square of the Houtu Tribe.
A large number of Witch Tribe clansmen were gathered here, standing in place looking at each other with eyes full of confusion and bewilderment.
They had been suddenly summoned by an order, completely unaware of what was happening or what they were supposed to do.
Moreover, although Ancestral Witch Houtu was standing on a high platform not far away, she had not shown any intention of speaking from the beginning, which made them dare not speak recklessly or even make any sound.
Tap, tap, tap—
In this almost oppressive atmosphere, Li Yun followed Xing Tian straight into the central area of the square.
"Ancestral Witch Houtu, I've brought the person."
Bowing with a cupped fist salute to Houtu, Xing Tian said with utmost respect.
"Hmm~"
Nodding, Ancestral Witch Houtu's gaze locked onto Li Yun at this moment, then she pointed at the roughly two hundred Witch Tribe clansmen gathered not far away and said: "Your confident words from before were indeed quite appealing. Now, I will give you a chance to showcase yourself."
"All two hundred clansmen here are those below the Great Witch level, ranging from the lowest-level Witch Soldiers to Lesser Witches. How much time do you need to teach them the Martial Dao you mentioned!"
As soon as these words were spoken, all the Witch Tribe clansmen present looked at Li Yun in astonishment.
A Cultivator!
They had never expected that they were gathered here waiting for a Cultivator.
Moreover, from Ancestral Witch Houtu's words, it was not hard to discern that she intended for this person to teach them something called the Martial Dao—an unheard-of concept.
Most importantly, this guy only had the cultivation base of the Profound Immortal Realm. What gave him the right to instruct them? What made him qualified to teach them?
Although they were indignant inside, this was Ancestral Witch Houtu's command, and they dared not disobey. However, they all glared at Li Yun's location, adopting a posture intended to make him back down in the face of difficulty.
"Three hours!"
Facing their stares, Li Yun now stretched out three fingers with extreme calmness and said: "Given the Witch Tribe's Qi and blood vitality and Physical Body strength, cultivating the Martial Dao I created will take at most three hours to achieve the beginner level!"
"Of course, this premise is based on their cooperation. If they do not cooperate, forget three hours; even three years or three hundred years would be meaningless."
Hearing this, Ancestral Witch Houtu nodded.
Three hours was not considered long; she could wait that long. It was even somewhat unexpected, as her initial expectation was to see results in ten days to half a month.
But now, with Li Yun being so full of confidence, she naturally would not say much more. With a wave of her hand, she declared: "You can rest assured on that point. My Witch Tribe sons are naturally willing to seek methods of strengthening for all our people!"
"If your so-called Martial Dao truly has an effect, it would bring great benefits to all of our Witch Tribe. How could they not cooperate~"
As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding Witch Tribe clansmen suddenly understood.
Although they did not know the specifics of what the Martial Dao entailed, from Ancestral Witch Houtu's words, they could tell that this matter concerned the entire Witch Tribe and was even beneficial to it.
Thus, their inner resistance dissipated.
Although Li Yun's identity as a Cultivator made them uncomfortable, for the future of the Witch Tribe, they were still willing to cooperate.
Thinking of this, the gazes of the group of Witch Tribe clansmen all focused on Li Yun's location, and they said in unison: "We are willing to cooperate!"
"We are willing to cooperate!"
"..."
"Good~"
Seeing this situation, the corners of Li Yun's mouth turned upward.
This step was considered a success. With the full cooperation of this group, the difficulty of teaching them Ancient Martial Arts would be greatly reduced.
As soon as this thought came to mind, Li Yun immediately stepped forward and said: "Send one Witch Soldier, one Witch General, and one Lesser Witch to me!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd became somewhat restless.
But soon, three figures emerged from within the crowd.
Their cultivation levels matched those specified by Li Yun. After arriving in front of him, the three all looked at him, awaiting his subsequent words.
Not just them.
Including Ancestral Witch Houtu, Great Witch Xing Tian, and everyone else around, no one was an exception.
Facing their stares, Li Yun was much calmer now. He pointed at the Witch Soldier and said: "You, come forward. I will impart to you the Qi and blood circulation trajectory of the Eight Extremities Fist."
"Alright~"
Agreeing, the Witch Soldier stepped forward and stood directly in front of Li Yun without making any extra movements.
In response, Li Yun did not waste words. He floated up and reached out to touch the Witch Soldier's forehead, saying: "Next, I need you to cooperate and relax your mind. Otherwise, my power will not be able to guide your Qi and blood, and both of us could even be injured."
Hearing this, the Witch Soldier nodded without saying anything further but cooperatively relaxed his mind.
At that very moment, Li Yun immediately mobilized his Divine Sense and entered the Witch Soldier's body. After a simple scan, the corners of his mouth turned upward.
As expected, the internal structure of the Witch Tribe was essentially the same as that of the Human Race. The only difference was that the Witch Tribe focused on the strength of the Physical Body, while the Human Race was much weaker.
Sensing the surging and turbulent flow of Qi and blood between the Meridians, Li Yun no longer hesitated and directly guided the circulation trajectory of the Eight Extremities Fist through it once.
After completing this, Li Yun opened his eyes and looked at the Witch Soldier, asking: "Did you remember it?"
"The Qi and blood trajectory I just circulated!"
"I remember."
After a moment of contemplation, the Witch Soldier raised his head and said: "But what's the use of this? Although I can feel the Qi and blood churning faster, it's only a partial churning and hasn't given me any increase in power."
"No rush~"
Waving his hand, Li Yun floated backward.
Immediately after, he turned his head to look at Ancestral Witch Houtu and said: "Ancestral Witch, please use the Law of Earth to construct some sturdy walls so he can personally experience the power I have imparted!"
"Alright~"
Agreeing, Houtu did not refuse. With a stamp of her foot, the moment her fair jade-like foot made contact with the ground, the Law of Earth churned.
Rumble—
Rumble—
A rumbling sound echoed as a wall directly appeared in the area not far behind Li Yun.
With the power of Ancestral Witch Houtu reinforcing it, its sturdiness was self-evident.
Once this was completed, Li Yun looked at the Witch Soldier and said: "First, use your own power to attack that wall with all your might. Afterward, I will teach you the specific application method, and you can try again. Then, you will know the specific results."
Upon hearing this, the Witch Soldier did not act immediately but instead turned his head to look at Ancestral Witch Houtu's location.
Facing his inquiring gaze, Ancestral Witch Houtu nodded imperceptibly.
Having received permission, the Witch Soldier then said: "I understand."
Immediately after, he accelerated sharply, stepped forward, mobilized all his strength, and slammed it onto the wall.
With a loud *thump*, the wall shook a few times but ultimately remained intact and standing there.
Seeing this, Li Yun no longer hesitated. He directly stepped forward and taught him how to mobilize the Jin energy of the Eight Extremities Fist and how to coordinate it with the previous Qi and blood circulation trajectory.
After a brief instruction, Li Yun stepped back a few paces and said: "Alright, if you have grasped it, then directly begin the next round of testing!"
