Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the Great Hall of Qingyun.

Hearing that the sect master had decided to personally present the Eight Extreme Palms in front of the entire sect’s disciples.

The entire hall stirred up instantly with a huge wave of noise.

Not to mention the disciples of the martial arts training peak and the disciples of the service hall, even the six elders were extremely excited when they heard the news.

Zhang Lingren personally demonstrating the martial arts technique, one that was created by the sect master himself.

It was truly a rare sight even in a hundred years!

This sentence was not exaggerated at all. Ever since 70 to 80 years ago, Zhang Lingren no longer looked after the affairs of the sect. The main responsibility of the sect had been transferred to the first elder Song Xiuwen.

As for the matters related to cultivation guidance, apart from the first four disciples of Zhang Lingren receiving guidance from him, the remaining disciples were all under the guidance of the second and fourth elder, Yu Yang and Yu Haoming respectively.

Therefore, for Mo Hong and the other disciples,  not only do they view Yu Yang and Yu Haoming as their senior brothers, but they also respected them as a master.

Today, the sect master of Qingyun, Zhang Lingren, will personally demonstrate his martial arts techniques and pass it onto everyone. Naturally, everyone was very excited.

Everyone looked at the teen in the Qingyun Hall with grateful expressions.

If it wasn’t for Victor, they might’ve never been able to witness Zhang Lingren personally teaching a martial arts skill in their entire lives.

Zhang Lingren lifted his hand. The originally bustling hall instantly quieted down, leaving only rapid breathing to be heard.

“This Eight Extreme Palms of mine is different from ordinary martial arts skills. It focuses on the combination of motion and stillness, intertwined with one another.”

Zhang Lingren slowly walked to the center of the square in the Great Hall of Qingyun. He lowered his hands, bent his fingers slightly, and spread his legs parallel to each other.

Then, he slowly raised his arms to the front of his chest, formed a half-circle with his left arm and extended his right palm. He said, “This is the starting stance of the Eight Extreme Palms.”

Subsequently, Zhang Lingren’s body began to move.

One move after another was continuously deduced, flowing like water, interconnecting with each other without stopping.

Yu Haoming and the others did not dare to blink, afraid that they would miss out on any move.

In everyone’s perception, Zhang Lingren’s hands were sometimes as heavy as a mountain, sometimes as light as a feather; fast yet slow.

Zhang Lingren’s hands formed a circle. It looked as if he had fused several types of energy into one.

About 15 minutes later.

Zhang Lingren’s hands drooped naturally. He returned to the initial stance of the motion.

Although Zhang Lingren was already at an old age, he was even more energetic spiritually after finishing the palm technique.

“The characteristics of this palm technique can be summarized with a phrase – the coexistence of fantasy and reality. As long as you can grasp this trait of the technique, you will be able to understand the essence of this palm technique!”

Song Xiuwen and the other elders were thinking hard at the side.

Zhang Lingren had only performed it once. Many people had gained a great understanding of this palm technique, but they were unable to form a clear result. Now, they could only memorize to experience it slowly in the future.

Compared to the others, Yu Haoming had gained a lot more. He had basically learned all the moves, but there were still some details that needed to be perfected. Otherwise, it would not be fluent if he were to use it.

As for this palm technique, the basic requirement was for it to be smooth and connected. If it was not linked together, the power would be halved.

Zhang Lingren saw the confused look on Yu Yang’s face and asked, “How much do you know?”

Yu Yang quickly replied, “I’m stupid. I only understood 40%, but I have remembered all the moves.”

Zhang Lingren then looked at Yu Haoming, who was beside Yu Yang.

“I’m stupid. I only understood 50% .”

Next, Zhang Lingren asked all the other disciples present.

Most of them gave similar answers. They all answered 30% to 40% or even 20% to 30%.

Zhang Lingren sighed. “Sigh… in terms of comprehension ability, it’s still up to the fifth brother. If he were here, he would have understood 60% to 70%. Unfortunately, he’s not here.”

Speaking of Zhang Qishan, Zhang Lingren’s heart was in pain.

Victor heard Zhang Lingren’s sigh. Although he knew that Zhang Qishan was not dead, he did not know how to console him.

“Victor, what about you?”

Seeing Victor, Zhang Lingren’s sadness faded.

Fortunately, God blessed him with Victor’s appearance in Qingyun Sect. Moreover, as Zhang Lingren’s disciple.

Under everyone’s expectant gazes, Victor nodded his head.

“Good, good, you can demonstrate it to everyone!”

Zhang Lingren stroked his white beard in delight.

The Eight Extreme Palms was rather difficult. Zhang Lingren had no expectations of Victor to reach the initial success stage in the first attempt.

If Victor was able to reach the third stage and thoroughly understand the stages, he would be satisfied.

However, in the next moment.

Zhang Lingren was stunned.

His eyes were filled with disbelief.

In the Great Hall of Qingyun.

Victor was steadily displaying his Eight Extreme Palms. He had the appropriate control for each and every move and stances.

“This…”

This was not the master stage at all, it had at least reached the perfection stage!

Moreover, this fluency was almost on par with him, the creator.

The corner of Zhang Lingren’s mouth twitched a little. It seemed that he had underestimated Victor’s talent.

The elders standing by the side were also stunned.

In Yu Haoming’s perspective, Victor’s Eight Extreme Palms was even better than Zhang Lingren’s demonstration.

When the other disciples saw this scene, they were also shocked speechless.

After being stunned for a few seconds, these disciples quickly opened their eyes wide and studied Victor’s performance.

After all, to be able to see the sect master’s ultimate self-created skill again was an opportunity in which they had to cherish.

At the side.

Yu Haoming was no longer satisfied with just watching. He took action and started followed Victor’s movements to practice.

However, compared to Victor’s demonstration, Yu Haoming’s movements were much more awkward.

Seeing Yu Haoming’s initiative, the other elders also began to move.

Under the leadership of the elders, many disciples of the Qingyun Sect also began to practice appropriately. It was as if all the teachers and students were doing group morning exercises.

However, at this moment, second elder Yu Yang looked at the people practicing martial techniques with envy.

There was nothing he could do. In order to stop a plot against the Qingyun Sect, he fell into the enemy’s trap while he led his disciples for investigation.

In the underground cave, huge rocks fell from the sky and he dedicated all of their strength into his arms to break the fall. In the end, although his disciples were saved, his arms were crippled. His bones and vessels were all shattered and he had lost consciousness in his arms.

Now that he had become useless, he could only use the Mystic Wood technique to warm his body and the Wind technique could barely be performed through enduring the pain.

Fifteen minutes later.

Victor’s palm technique was completed.

As he stopped, everyone also completed a round of practice.

Everyone lowered their heads and stood still, recalling the process over and over again.

“Second senior brother, don’t you desire to be like everyone else, to be able to freely wave your arms and practice martial arts?”

Victor looked at Yu Yang and said.

The sudden sentence made Yu Yang’s envious eyes darken.

In the past, he had made a name for himself with these very hands, but now he could only use them to teach his disciples.

Seeing the second senior brother’s face darken, Victor knew that he had pride opened a wound of his and said the wrong thing.

He hurriedly said, “Second senior brother, don’t be discouraged. I meant, there is a medicine in this world that can cure your arm!”
