86 Kunlun Grand Palm Imprin (1/2)
”Kunlun Great Palm Imprint is an ancient martial art from the Ancient Earth Era. Its origin isn't clear but according to its name, it should be a supreme martial art from the Kunlun Mountains of Ancient China. There are a total of twelve martial pathways recorded—palm arts, finger arts, capturing arts, sword arts, whip arts, hammer arts, and all the powerful moves from every weaponry—as well as a method to link them as a complete whole, allowing the user to practice countless variations. It seems that this martial arts contain the true essence of all martial arts under the heavens. No matter what martial arts it is, they would definitely belong to one of the twelve martial arts pathways. This Kunlun Grand Palm Imprint contains everything and is able to counter any moves…”
In the image, a lanky male figure with moves as explosive as a cheetah was currently performing the stances of this ancient martial arts while articulating the oracular formula of each pathway, explaining them.
Feng Lin paid close attention and discovered that this was an ancient martial art that had been passed down from the Ancient Earth Era to now. It wasn't like what he had assumed earlier. This martial arts wasn't genetic martial arts!
The power of this ordinary ancient martial arts could actually reach such an extent. It actually was able to incorporate the essence of all different kinds of martial arts in the world within, allowing the user to grow stronger and stronger.
He knew that this point was true. When he had exchanged blows with the long-robed man earlier, the long-robed man's techniques contained countless changes. This was undoubtedly an extraordinarily powerful ancient martial arts.
What made Feng Lin startled was that among the stances of this Kunlun Grand Palm Imprint, there were a few that sounded extremely meaningful—”God Beating Whip Imprint”, ”Sky Flipping Hammer Imprint”, ”Yin-Yang Mirror Imprint”...
All these titles caused him to lost in wild and fanciful thoughts.
Feng Lin slowly immersed himself. Upon reading and pondering, he discovered that this martial art was extremely wondrous. Although there weren't any steps or genetic theory in it, it contained the true logic of the essence of martial arts. There was a total of twelve different palm imprints, and each move contained endless arcane logic. The whip imprint allowed his attacks and aura to be fast and ferocious. The hammer imprint allowed his attacks to be explosive and filled with power. The mirror imprint allowed Yin and Yang to coexist and complement each other...
Although this ancient martial art didn't have a grade to classify it, it was most assuredly not an ordinary one. These techniques were refined again and again by experimentations of top-tier martial artists for millions of years. The power they could unleash wasn't in any way inferior to some genetic martial arts. In fact, the power it could potentially unleash might even surpass some genetic martial arts.
It was just that this ancient martial art wasn't able to incorporate the extraordinary abilities of mythological genes into it. It meant that it was innately inferior.
He was reading the content seriously while continuing to hold Snakeboy up with one hand. His other hand started to unconsciously move, following the movements in the image as he attempted to comprehend the essence of martial arts in one of the palm imprints.
Suddenly, a black shadow flashed before his eyes, rushing toward him.
A wariness rose up in Feng Lin's heart. He instinctively used the move ”God Beating Whip Imprint” that he just comprehended. His arm lashed out like a whip, ferocious and quick, forcing the person rushing at him back. The long-robed man only came to a stop after he was blown away for over ten steps.
”What? You manage to learn the God Beating Whip Imprint so quickly?!” The palms of the long-robed man trembled. Earlier at the moment of impact, the force was so great that he felt the bones of his arms were about to break apart. He had a face filled with disbelief.
”What are you doing?” Feng Lin's eyes were filled with wariness as he stared at the long-robed man. He instinctively tightened his hold, causing Snakeboy's breathing to stop, almost suffocating him.
The long-robed man hurriedly stopped; he indicated that he had no ill intent. He pointed to Snakeboy and sighed, ”If you don't release him soon, he would be strangled to death by you. I only rushed at you to save him.”
His eyes stared ruthlessly at Feng Lin and were filled with anger and helplessness, but he didn't dare to say anything.
Feng Lin was astonished. He lifted his head and realized that because he had been too concentrated in studying the Kunlun Grand Palm Imprint, he hadn't paid any attention to his other hand. Snakeboy's throat was almost crushed by him. Both Snakeboy's eyes had already flipped white, and he was on the verge of being suffocated to death.
That would be truly awkward then…
Feng Lin pretended nothing was wrong and loosened his grip.
Snakeboy instantly fell onto the ground like a pile of soft mud, lying there limply. He no longer had that unyielding attitude from earlier. He was panting heavily as the sounds of gurgling could be heard from his throat. There was fear on his face, as well as joy at having survived. Tears and mucus flowed unceasingly down his face from his relief.
”Snakeboy!” The long-robed man rushed over and did a check. When he discovered that his team member wasn't dead, he finally heaved a sigh of relief.
Staring at the pitiful appearance of Snakeboy, Feng Lin's expression also stiffened unnaturally. He had almost accidentally killed a human.
He wasn't someone that didn't keep his promise. Since he had already obtained the martial arts, he naturally wouldn't kill his hostage.
Upon obtaining this martial art, the benefits he had received far outweighed the risks earlier. Feng Lin's anger also dissipated.
Although he could have killed that cultivator apprentice easily, this long-robed man was after all an experienced interstellar cultivator. It was easy to gain an advantage over him but not so easy to fully control him.
After all, Feng Lin had just become an interstellar cultivator.
Even an angered rabbit would bite people! Let alone an interstellar cultivator that was provoked.
Feng Lin was just a single human. There was no need for him to form a mortal grudge with the Mars Revolutionary Army just for the sake of the Giant Pharmaceutical Company. It wasn't worth it at all.
But if the Mars Revolutionary Army didn't know what was good for them and continued trying to hunt him down, he naturally wouldn't show mercy.
