Heavens, yesShe felt like she could take on ten Yan Fangs right nowBring it on!
Su Chan raised her fist higher”You knohat? Why don't we—”
Su Chan stopped talking the 's s reached over and pinched her cheek”Feels great, doesn't it?”
Su Chan frownedWait, what? What was going on?
Su Chan lowered her fist and stared at her own hands”Um… What happened?”
”You were under the effects of Acalanatha's 11th Mudra: The Dharma Shankha”
Su Chan looked up froives anyone in the user's vicinity a morale boost”
Su Chan looked at her hands as she tried to search for that intense feeling of courage she experienced earlier”How long will the effects last?”
”According to the Mahae and duration will depend on the user's oillpower, so there isn't a fixed timeIt depends on the user and the user's state of mind when the technique is performed”
”Wow…”
”There's another one”
Su Chan's head shot up
”I can show you another one if you like?”
Su Chan bobbed her head again
Yundong sht want to step aside for this” Yundong glanced up”OhAnd you ht also want to re and fluttered down to Su Chan's hand after she perforoes” Yundong clasped his hands together like he was praying”Namah samanta vajranaolden sheet appeared in front of YundongWhoa… Is that a shi+eld?
”Try touching it,” Yundong saidHe didn't let his hand drop this time
Su Chan stared at the barrier in wonder
”Go on,” Yundong proh the barrier and saw Yundong's encouraging smileThen she focused her attention back at the shi+eld”W- Will it hurt?”
”No” Yundong chuckled”Of course it won't hurtI wouldn't have asked you to touch it if it does”
”O- Oh”
”Go aheadTouch it and see what happens”
Su Chan lifted her index finger and brought it to the shi+eld”Whoa…” Her finger stopped olden sheetNo er just wouldn't penetrate the shi+eld
”Uer back”Can you keep it the shi+eld up for a while longer?”
”Of course”
Piqued, Su Chan bent down and picked up a twig froolden sheet with the twig until the twig snapped in half
Su Chan tossed the broken twig aside and gaped at the barrier”That's so cool…”
”Nice, right?”
”Can I try so?” Su Chan asked tentatively
Yundong s nod
Shadow Mist!
When she drove herself into the barrier, herthe barrier's surface rather than penetrate itAfter a few failed attempts, Su Chan switched off her mist form and stared at the barrier in awe”I- It's iolden sheet vanished when Yundong lowered his hands”Saved my life many, many times”
”What's it called?”
”Acalanatha's 2nd Mudra: The Immovable Mountain of Treasure”
The immovable mountain… of treasure?
”Can the barrier take any shape?” Su Chan asked, still puzzling over thebehind the name
”Yes”
Su Chan looked towards YundongHmm…
”The shape will be decided at the exactthecontinued”Once the barrier is up, I can't shape it againIf I want one with a new shape, I'll have to release the barrier and then for could always just shape the barrier into a doold in color, it would look like a mountain of treasure wouldn't it?
OohSo the name made sense after all
”And it's impenetrable,” Su Chan h pretty ainst the mudra
”It prevents any physical object froy to maintain the barrier”
Su Chan turned her head and stared at Yundong
Yundong smiled”So far, I only see two problems with the technique”
Su Chan tilted her head to one side”What are they?”
Yundong sighed”It becomes difficult to keep the barrier up if the physical force exerted on it was too great” Yundong smiled wryly”The first time I used it was after I passed the Zhuji phase”
Piqued, Su Chan righted her head and stared at Yundong intently
Yundong chuckled”I used it to hold back a ton of snow”
Snow? Oh yeahHe went to Tibet, right?
”Wait…” Su Chan's eyes narrowed”You were caught in an avalanche?”
Yundong chucked her under the chin”Clever guess, princess” He lowered his hand and sighed”It was hAnd there was just so htly”I could barely keep maintain the form of thehad just passed the Zhuji phase back then, right? He was only at the beginning of the Shentong phaseHe probably hadn't even completed his first Qi Transmutation Cycle yet
”What about the second probleround” Yundong's expression turned serious”So up froround with an Earth spell”
Or a Wood spell, Su Chan added internally
”Ooh! I know!”
”Yes, Chan'er?”
”You already kno to fly, right?” Exciteh Su Chan's veins”Why not just levitate a bit off the ground and then form a spherical barrier!” Su Chan wrinkled her nose”But then it would have to be called the Floating Ball of Treasure… EughThat doesn't even—”
Yundong burst into laughter
Su Chan blushed”W- What?”
Yundong wipe away a stray tear from the corner of his eyes”God, Chan'er” He ruffled her head a few ht sheCheeks spell
Master would be proud
”Yes” Yundong nodded”Actually, I did think of thatBut there will be times where I need to protect someone other than myselfAnd not everyone can fly”
Su Chan pursed her lips in thought”How about…” Su Chan stole a tentative glance at Yundong”Lift the did a double take, then pinched her cheek”My, myYou're full of clever ideas today aren't you, princess?”
Su Chan pouted”What? It works”
”Yes, it does” Yundong chuckled and took her hand in his”Thank you so estion, my dear little princess chipmunk”
”I'm not a cheap monk!”
”Sure, you're not”
Su Chan kept sneaking glances at Yundong as they walked side by sideHe wasn't actually agreeing with her, was he? It couldn't beHe always called her a cheap monk
”I'm not a cheap hed”Alright, enough of that already”
Su Chan pouted
”Hey, you wanna hear a funny story?”
Su Chan shot hilance”Is it funnier than those soap shows?”
”Hmm… I don't knowMaybe?”
”Okay! I wanna hear it”
”Alright” Yundong chuckled”Well, you see… When I first learned how to levitate, I fell down fro and landed on my”
