Chapter 119: Nine Stacks (2/2)

This doubt only lingered for a moment. Lu Yin knew he didn’t have to bother with all those thoughts at this point; all he had to do was familiarize himself with Nine Stacks as soon as possible. The Cosmic Art and the personal experience through the Rainmaster ensured that it wouldn’t be difficult, but his body could only handle up to six right now. It made complete sense that Nine Stacks would be enough until he became a Limiteer.

Days later, Lu Yin shouted and punched out, forming six explosions in the air even as he bled a little from his palm, “Tch, six is a bit too much as well. Hmm… If I can get to the Sixfold Shockwave Palm and stack that, it’s sure to be very powerful.”

After resting for half a day, he started wondering if it was possible to merge the stacking technique with his Cosmic Art. He’d thought about it when he’d learned Three Stacks, but never tried it due to a lack of time. If he actually managed to stack the Cosmic Art, his power would skyrocket. The more he thought about it, the more excited he got.

Lu Yin prepared to make a test run with Two Stacks, but the Rainmaster appeared out of nowhere and grabbed his arm before he could go through with it, “You’ll lose your arm if you try that.”

“Sorry?” Lu Yin was confused.

He let Lu Yin’s arm go and said sternly, “You’re trying to merge your stacking ability with that attack of yours?”

“Yes,” Lu Yin’s eyes twinkled.

“It’s a death wish. Battle techniques are basically impossible to stack, or everyone in the universe would be going around doing it. Why do you think no one does that? Try to merge a battle technique and a stacking technique, and you’ll shatter yourself before you heart anyone. Many geniuses have tried and failed; powerful techniques have their own inner workings, and stacking them will overload you instantly. At the very least, a kid like you won’t be able to bear it; you’d have lost your arm if you tried that just now.”

“Oh. Thank you so much for the lesson!” Lu Yin said with gratitude. The Rainmaster’s words made sense; he was being way too greedy. If the Cosmic Art could be stacked, which technique couldn’t?

The Rainmaster grunted in acknowledgment, “Some people can strengthen their battle techniques by stacking them, but the further you go on your journey, the more you’ll hurt yourself. You can only stack the Shockwave Palm because it isn’t really a battle technique, just a way to produce physical force. Don’t assume you’ll be able to do the same for anything with power.”

“Yes, Sir,” Lu Yin bowed again.

Pleased with his attitude, the Rainmaster looked at Lu Yin’s palm. “That technique you used just now was quite interesting.”

“You’ve seen it before?” Lu Yin was shocked.

“No, but it seems rather unusual. How many stars can you use?”

“Six,” Lu Yin revealed directly. The tutor had already seen things, so trying to conceal it would only make him seem petty. This was Astral-10 after all, hiding it forever was a pipe dream.

“Six? That’s not a lot. This battle technique feels like one that needs to be a whole, and that isn’t at six. Hmm… Nine might be able to do it.”

Lu Yin was confused, “Whole? What does that mean?”
