38: Chapter 38 The Peak Master's Summoning
Chun Xiaobai walked forward and discovered that the characters of the Cultivation Technique originally on the wall had disappeared, replaced by a portrait.
Simply put, it was an image of a beautiful woman.
And judging by the beauty's age, she didn't seem very old.
"Hiss... why does she look a bit like that woman in red?"
He looked carefully and discovered that the woman in the portrait, apart from having slightly more baby fat on her face, really looked exactly the same as that woman in red!
"Damn it!"
Could this be a reminder to be careful of that woman?
He thought about it carefully and felt it was very likely; otherwise, why would anyone carve her portrait here for no reason?
Consequently, he pushed himself even harder in his heart.
Within ten years, he must achieve a Breakthrough to above the Nascent Soul stage!
Only by possessing that level of Divine Power would he likely be able to withstand that woman!
Following that, Chun Xiaobai turned to the side and continued to look at the martial arts he hadn't finished viewing earlier.
Behind, it was either fist techniques or leg techniques.
Soon, he stopped under a pattern that resembled Eagle Claw Kung Fu: "Could this be some Shaolin Dragon Claw Hand?"
Leg techniques and fist techniques—he was proficient in all of these, but this claw technique was something he truly hadn't learned before.
"How about... I practice it?"
Since he was already here, he might as well practice it!
Having made up his mind, Chun Xiaobai immediately performed the first movement from the image, his right hand turning into a claw, reaching forward.
However, with just this one movement, his Divine Soul shook violently, and a Cultivation Technique named "Sky-Tearing Hand" instantly appeared in his mind.
This technique was only the first level, "Tearing People," with no subsequent levels.
"Damn, this Cultivation Technique sounds absolutely badass!" Chun Xiaobai nodded in satisfaction.
However, this "Tearing People" didn't mean literally tearing a person apart alive; rather, it specialized in attacking the weak points where the human Meridians and bones connected.
When practiced to Major Achievement, one could, in an instant, dismantle all three hundred and sixty-five bones in a human body and incidentally tie their Meridians into a knot.
Simply put, it was a set of bone-dislocating and tendon-tearing techniques.
After learning the first image, all the operating mantras simply appeared in his mind.
"Learning this is so simple; it's just like the Martial God Art!"
As long as he performed the form, he could automatically comprehend the essence.
However, there was only the first level here, which specialized in the human body. If he wanted the second level of this Cultivation Technique, he would likely need to go to the second level of the small tower.
Immediately after, he looked at the second image.
It was the same; as long as he struck that pose, the mantras and key points of the Move would automatically appear in his mind.
There were thirty-six images in total, meaning thirty-six Moves, corresponding to the three hundred and sixty bones and seven hundred and twenty Meridians of the human body.
The first eighteen images were for dismantling people, and the last eighteen were for dismantling various external objects, except these external objects were presented in his mind in the form of nodes.
Regardless of what mechanism or Formation it was, they all had corresponding nodes. By operating the Cultivation Technique and gathering power into his hands, he could probe these nodes.
Half an hour later, he had learned the first Move of the "Sky-Tearing Hand," "Tearing People," and had reached the point of being able to use it immediately after learning it.
"Not bad! Not bad! Now, if anyone doesn't know what's good for them in the future, I can really 'dismantle' them!"
"And this seems to be a part of some Cultivation Technique."
Chun Xiaobai looked up at the ceiling; it was very likely that this Cultivation Technique had subsequent levels on the floors above.
After learning this Move, he continued walking forward and discovered that he had reached the end, and this end point was exactly the set of finger techniques he had seen earlier.
He was currently not interested in finger techniques.
However, he remembered there was a type of footwork earlier.
Soon, he arrived under the pattern he had seen before.
This set of footwork patterns had only three images in total.
The figure in the first image was leaning forward, toes touching the ground, with a light and elegant posture that looked very much like the legendary Lingbo Microsteps, as if it were about to ride the wind and leave the next moment.
Chun Xiaobai immediately struck the pose according to the first image, his body sinking slightly, right foot reaching forward, performing a diving movement.
Sure enough, the same feeling appeared again, and a profound mantra about the Cultivation Technique instantly flooded into his mind.
This was indeed a top-tier footwork, named "Heaven-Treading Step."
This footwork was divided into three Moves, each exquisite and unique, with its own Divine Ability.
First Move: "Thousand Shadow Steps."
Once this Move was unleashed, the body would become like a ghost, merging with the shadows.
Not only could it greatly increase speed, but it could also allow one's Qi to hide within the shadows, making it the perfect method for sneaking and ambushing.
Second Move: "Cloud Ladder."
This Move could transform into a ladder to ascend to the heavens, allowing one to step out and soar directly into the clouds, which was quite similar to the technique of controlling the air.
Third Move: "Shrinking Ground to an Inch."
This Move was the most profound, touching upon the surface of the Law of space. When practiced to Major Achievement, one step could reverse mountains and rivers, turning a short distance into a vast world!
"Holy crap! This is strong!"
Chun Xiaobai was completely stunned.
He could feel that these three images were merely the first three Moves of this "Heaven-Treading Step."
But the first three Moves were already so Heaven-Defying; there must be even more powerful Moves later on, just hidden on the higher levels of the small tower.
Just this last Move, "Shrinking Ground to an Inch," was already an incredible Divine Ability!
If he learned this, he could just run away if he couldn't beat someone in the future. In this world, who the hell could catch This Great King?
"Damn it, I underestimated this tower."
He had originally thought the martial arts in this tower were all just flashy, but after looking at these images and learning them, they were truly extraordinary.
It could be said that they completely crushed those spiritual techniques and Cultivation Techniques.
Chun Xiaobai muttered happily, then calmed his heart and began to fully comprehend the mantra of the first Move.
After finishing the first image, he continued to comprehend the second, "Cloud Ladder."
Finally, when he cast his gaze toward the third image, he discovered that the difficulty of this Move far exceeded the first two.
He spent a full half-hour, which showed how high its complexity was.
Chun Xiaobai originally wanted to test the effect, but his head suddenly felt heavy.
He knew this was because the time he could stay in the small tower had reached its limit.
This time he had entered on his own and didn't have special treatment like the previous times; the time he could stay was actually shorter than before.
Without waiting to be kicked out by an invisible force, Chun Xiaobai voluntarily exited.
The scene before his eyes shifted, and he appeared in the Cultivation room.
Following that, an extreme sense of weakness came over him, and his stomach rumbled with hunger.
So he flipped his hand, took out thirty more bottles, and like eating beans, he finished them all in a flash.
After letting out a satisfied burp, this feeling of exhaustion began to dissipate.
A happy occasion brings a refreshed spirit.
Having suddenly obtained two great ultimate Moves, Chun Xiaobai found he couldn't sit still; he really wanted to find someone to practice with and beat a couple of people up to celebrate.
"How about... I go out tonight and pull a job?"
However, he felt it was better to hold back for now.
The woman he saw in that Peak Master's residence today was nine times out of ten the Peak Master of this Green Bamboo Peak.
This woman had been seen completely naked by him, and it was very likely that she would...
Just as he thought this, he heard Fang Yuan muttering outside the Cultivation room, seemingly talking about some "Peak Master"...
His heart skipped a beat.
"Holy crap! They wouldn't really be catching a peeping tom, would they?"
He yanked open the door of the Cultivation room.
Fang Yuan immediately approached: "Great King, Great King! Have you received the notice? The Peak Master has summoned us Disciples on the summit of Green Bamboo Peak to go to the Peak Master's Hall immediately!"
"Damn it! Is this woman's temper really that big? This Great King only glanced at her once..."
