Secret techniques, these are things few people have the chance to learn.
However, those present were no ordinary individuals, and most had one or two such techniques, so they were not overly surprised by Zhong Hanzi’s Fire Fist.
They were merely a little shocked by its power.
Even though that punch was not aimed at them, just sensing the aura from it gave everyone a sense of impending danger!
Is this the terrifying aspect of the seventh realm!
Speaking of which, after Zhong Hanzi’s clear demonstration, everyone understood the characteristics of the Thunder Magnetic Island he had mentioned.
Wu Di asked, “Instructor, if you say so, won’t it be about who has more useful secret techniques inside, rather than their realm?”
Zhong Hanzi said calmly, “To some extent, yes. If you believe you can fight against someone of a higher realm with the same secret technique, then that’s how it is for you.”
Alright, understood.
It means the same secret technique, but the power displayed by different realms can be completely different.
Simply put, it’s a place that values secret techniques, with realm and strength taking a secondary role.
The crowd exchanged glances. They had never heard of such a peculiar place before.
Li Chonglou was no different.
Beside him, Chen Pingfan whispered, “Brother Li, how many secret techniques do you know?”
That question made Li Chonglou pause and think. It seemed he knew quite a few, perhaps twenty or thirty?
He had secretly learned no less than twenty secret techniques in the Fengtian Arena in the East District.
Many were even studied with the help of Old Lin and the others. To this day, they still enjoyed staying in the bottle space, continuing to research new ones.
Seeing Li Chonglou suddenly fall silent, Chen Pingfan sighed.
“It’s alright, Brother Li. I don’t know many either, only two. It seems I won’t be able to help much this time.”
Li Chonglou did not refute him, merely nodding silently.
The techniques he knew were mostly from influential families. He preferred not to use them if he could avoid it, and if he had to, it would be in front of outsiders. Otherwise, if word got out, he feared he might gain another title.
As he was thinking, Liu Ti Xing, who was ahead, suddenly spoke, “Instructor, we understand. However, this time, we hope everyone can go in together.”
The expressions of the others froze, unable to comprehend.
Zhong Hanzi also asked, bewildered, “You want everyone to go in? Do you all know secret techniques?”
Immediately, someone shook his head.
“Captain Liu, I only know one secret technique, but it’s not an externalized attribute one. It probably won’t be of much use if we go in.”
Once one person spoke, other trainees began to chime in.
Although they could be said to have one or two techniques each, not all secret techniques were the kind that externalized attributes as required.
Many were just enhancement techniques that boosted their potential or burst-type techniques for strength and speed. According to the rules of the Thunder Magnetic Island, they would be useless upon entry.
They would purely be walking into their deaths!
However, Liu Ti Xing’s true intention was not this. He then changed his tune, “Then at least those two must go in! They haven’t contributed at all in this mission!”
Chen Pingfan’s face suddenly changed drastically, as Liu Ti Xing was pointing at him and Li Chonglou as he spoke.
“Instructor, I don’t know them either. I’m the same as them.”
Before he could finish speaking, Liu Ti Xing interrupted, “If you don’t know them, I can teach you!”
“My Liu family has many secret techniques similar to the instructor’s, and they are not difficult to learn. You can master them in less than an hour.”
What the heck, has he suddenly turned into a benevolent person?
Li Chonglou chuckled, seeing through Liu Ti Xing’s motive at a glance.
These were all excuses. Even Chen Pingfan was merely an unlucky pawn being dragged down. His true intention was to get Li Chonglou to enter.
Just as everyone was looking at each other in confusion, Li Chonglou suddenly spoke up, “I don’t know them either.”
“I will teach you too!”
Liu Ti Xing was waiting precisely for this!
Therefore, when Li Chonglou said it, his face clearly showed a flicker of joy.
At this moment, Wu Di and Liu Tian Zhi also reacted. They exchanged glances and then said, “Then let it be. Li Chonglou, Chen Pingfan, you didn’t help in this mission. Is it alright for you to go together now?”
“This league is very important to us, and I don’t want them to find an excuse to limit our numbers afterward.”
As soon as these two spoke, they completely blocked Li Chonglou and the others’ way out.
Just now, Zhong Hanzi had mentioned that this mission was a deliberate test by those with jealous eyes. So, with this label of slacking attached, it indeed caused worry.
Even Zhong Hanzi, after thinking about it, confirmed, “What you said makes sense. You two will go in together. If you are worried, just stick close to the main group. Inside, as long as you act as a collective, it’s quite safe.”
Since the instructor had spoken, the two had no reason to refuse.
Chen Pingfan’s face drooped immediately.
Liu Ti Xing claimed it would take an hour to learn, but who knew if it would be truly effective or just mere form?
Furthermore, in such a place, the more one knew, the better. Knowing only one would essentially make them slightly better than cannon fodder.
Afterward, the group began to divide.
One side was where Wu Di was responsible for counting the numbers, while on the other side, Liu Ti Xing led Li Chonglou and Chen Pingfan to the side to learn his secret techniques.
“These are the secret techniques of my Liu family. You are not allowed to spread them around after learning them. If I discover any leakage or resale, you can prepare to face the pursuit of my Liu family!”
Before they even started teaching, he issued a warning.
However, neither of them was a novice. They simply let the words go in one ear and out the other, not taking them seriously.
Setting aside whether they would leak or resell them, even if they did, what proof would they have to track them down? It wasn’t as if they were the only ones who knew these techniques!
“Listen to every word I say from now on, and don’t make any mistakes when circulating your inner energy!”
What Liu Ti Xing was teaching was a secret technique called the Gale Fist.
Secret techniques, as distinct from other cultivation methods, were primarily characterized by their strong explosive power and, more importantly, by their use of acupoint energy to perform the techniques.
The human body has over three hundred acupoints, each with its own special function. When connected in pairs or triplets, different effects would emerge.
This resulted in the creation of tens of thousands of different cultivation methods and secret techniques.
However, to utilize acupoint energy, one must first thoroughly understand and master the acupoints. The acupoints that are easier for the human body to grasp are usually around a dozen, which is why many secret techniques feel somewhat similar.
For example, the Fire Fist that Zhong Hanzi used earlier. Li Chonglou had also secretly learned a similar one, possibly from the Hua family, called the Exploding Fist. It also released fire element energy for combat, with decent power, and most importantly, it was visually dazzling.
As for the Gale Fist that Liu Ti Xing was teaching, after listening, Li Chonglou suddenly realized he knew a very similar one, the Gale Palm.
