Chapter 143 - Divine Power of the North and the Soul Cutter (2/2)

“Well, I will think about it thoroughly again. We might as well start from the characteristics of their martial arts,” Long Fei nodded, biting his fingers and thinking carefully. “Assuming that Dao and his fellows used real kung fu, then they should be similar to those who messed up the restaurants. So, although you didn’t fight against Dao, the people in the restaurant actually fought with you. Was there anything special when you fought with them?”

Hao Ning frowned, “Anything special? The martial arts of these people seemed to have a gap between the names and the original Kung Fu skills, but the power was not small. If it were not for me to borrow a lot of kung fu, I would definitely have suffered a big loss…” When it came to this, Hao Ning suddenly thought about it. “Those who originally scuffled with each other didn’t care about me, but when seeing that I had made several kinds of kung fu, suddenly they said something strange…”

“How strange?” Long Fei asked quickly. “Maybe it is a breakthrough point.”

“They all just fought freely with each other,” Hao Ning recalled the scene of the night. The expressions of those people were still vivid. “But seeing that I used Sliding-over-the-water Art in a row and then used flaming knives. They began to shout, You learned so many kinds of kung fu?’ They stopped fighting each other and began to chase me violently. On the thought of that, Hao Ning couldn’t help smiling bitterly. He suddenly became a target of the public. It seemed that he was a locomotive, and behind him followed countless train compartments.

“So the reason they beat you was that they saw you used a variety of kung fu skills? So,” Long Fei seemed to become Yu Fei, a high IQ detective. He frowned and said, “The most likely situation is that, although they can practice martial arts, they still have a lack of ability compared with you. This kind of deficiency is not how to use kung fu, but the number of kinds of Martial Arts! Perhaps for some reason, each of them could only practice one kind of kung fu, you, on the other hand, could use a variety of them and stood out from the crowd, which led to their embarrassment and their attack to you together!”

“Er, what you said makes sense.” Hao Ning nodded. It was not impossible. At that time, Zhang Quan also raised this point when explaining the situation of Qili. He was likely to have a way to let Qili have a kind of kung fu. However, there might be some restrictions. He didn’t care about this point then. Now thinking about it, it was very likely that the number of kung fu was limited. Hao Ning could borrow many at the same time, so he didn’t pay attention to other people. From Long Fei’s reasoning, the possibility could be very huge.

Even so, Hao Ning still replied lazily: “But, even so, what does this have to do with the ball we are discussing now?”

“I was thinking that you could summon small balls, and that proves that your internal force should not be wrong,” Long Fei continued to analyze pondering around. “But if they can only use one kind of kung fu, then Dao is likely, too, to have access to only this kind of kung fu, so as for why Dao can motivate the power of this ball but you can’t, it shouldn’t be that you don’t have much kung fu, but you had too much of them!”

“Well? So having too much becomes a disadvantage?” Hearing what Long Fei said, Hao Ning smiled helplessly. “You mean, too greedy to chew them down?”

“It’s not only about greed,” Long Fei frowned seriously. Obviously his mind was turning very fast. Hao Ning couldn’t help but admire Long Fei and his brain. Although in many things Long Fei was never good at it, in other terms of things, he seemed to be a genius. “You know more about martial arts than I do. So what if I ask you, in the case that we are right to choose the unseen power? If you were Dao, how would you use the inner strength of the unseen power just then?”

“No, there is no such thing as an inner strength of unseen power. Inner strength of the Minstrel members is from the same source. They are all Northern-ming Genuine Qi.” Hao Ning swayed his hand and tried to correct Long Fei. His eyes suddenly brightened and he started to slap himself. “I am so stupid, too stupid!”

“Hey, hey, hey, what’s wrong with you?” Hao Ning’s move shocked Long Fei. He grabbed Hao Ning’s hand hurriedly. “What are you doing? Why do you hurt yourself?”

“I am just so stupid! The kung fu of the Minstrel is all based on Northern-ming Genuine Qi, but more than one kind of kung fu can use Northern-ming Genuine Qi!” Hao Ning was quite excited. “If Dao has only one kind of martial arts, it must be only Tianshan Six-yang Press, or Baihong Press, but not two of them! Yes, yes, no wonder Kong has been putting his hand on Dao, it must be like this! I see!”

“What does this have to do with Kong?” Seeing Hao Ning suddenly mentioned about Kong, asked doubtedly, “Didn’t he seem not able to practice any kind of kung fu?”

“He can, but his kung fu is a very strange kind,” Hao Ning nodded and said quite affirmatively, “The martial arts of the Minstrel, based on the Divine Power of the North, can turn all his inner strength into Northern-ming Genuine Qi. Other martial arts of this school would need learners to develop their own inner strength. If a person learns the Tianshan Six-yang Press of Minstrel, you can no longer learn the Divine Power of the North. So how long will he have to wait for enough Northern-ming Genuine Qi?”

Long Fei listened to Hao Ning’s analysis and got confused. “Isn’t that normal? Just like whatever magic spells do you have, shouldn’t you slowly practice your own power?”

“Normally, yes, but it’s too slow,” Hao Ning nodded and smiled at Long Fei. “But if Kong mastered Divine Power of the North, he could absorb the internal force of others into Northern-ming Genuine Qi, then passing this Genuine Qi to Dao. Dao, therefore, he could have endless inner strength to practice his own martial arts!”

Long Fei, with his mouth wide opened, was marveling at this work. Hao Ning couldn’t help but awe at the effort of the Minstrel. For only their inner strength could be transferred, that they had such cooperation.

Thinking of this, Hao Ning also understood that simply Northern-ming Genuine Qi was not lethal. What was really lethal was the various martial arts based on inner strength. In this way, the respondents of the small balls seemed no longer surprising: The ball could be summoned because he used the right inner strength, but because the inner strength here was not combined with lethal kung fu, the ball couldn’t cause any damage to the stool.

The clever was mistaken by cleverness. He was used to simulating other martial arts by using unseen power, so as to have forgotten that the most basic rule. Simulation was, after all, simulating others. If he didn’t choose the right “external power” to combine what in the contrast to be his “internal power”, it could only be a similar paradox, never the right way to go through.

Sighing in his heart and Hao Ning said, “The reason is now clear, and the possibility is great, but what kind of kung fu will it be? The Minstrel has a lot of kungfu skills, which are all very powerful. How can we try them one by one?”
