chapter 5 Cloud Wave Palm, Going Against the Wind

After Hallan Kirkland climbed to the high cliff again, the first thing he did was to destroy the rattan rope he made with his own hands. Only the master and himself know the cave below, and we must not leave any clues for outsiders to know.

Hallan Kirkland took out two soaked books from his arms and looked at them carefully in the moonlight. Judging from their appearance, these two books are no different from the ordinary books in the village.

Hallan Kirkland carefully rubbed the surface of the book with his fingers and found that its texture was very special, much softer and more delicate than ordinary paper. The ink on it doesn't seem to be written on it, but more like it is integrated with the paper.

He believed that the items that Japheth Peck valued so much, coupled with the special texture and the ink that did not scatter when exposed to water, all showed that this was definitely not as simple as an ordinary martial arts.

He casually opened a book on the movement and martial arts called "Going Against the Wind", and after just a few glances, Hallan Kirkland couldn't help but frown.

Walking against the wind is a king-level martial arts skill. When you practice it to a small level, you can fly in the air for a short time. When you practice it to a great level, you can soar into the sky at a speed comparable to that of a flying beast. Hallan Kirkland was about to drool when he saw this, but a line of small words at the back made his heart immediately fall into an ice cave, "Practitioners must achieve the goal of releasing wind-type spiritual energy."

Hallan Kirkland knew that if he wanted to develop his own attributes, he had to break through the three stages of body refining and enter the Qi refining stage. The three stages of body refining are body strengthening, bone refining, and tendon tempering. After a breakthrough, the qi refining stage is divided into sensing qi, receiving qi, and controlling qi.

The training requirements for this martial art are extremely demanding. Hallan Kirkland is currently only at the fourth level of the physical strengthening stage, and he has to break through the sixth level before he can enter the tendon tempering stage. To reach the Qi Control stage, you have to go through at least four stages. You must know that each stage has nine levels, and it also happens to have the wind attribute.

Hallan Kirkland now feels like a poor man standing in front of a golden mountain but unable to take any of it. Even so, Hallan Kirkland still took a rough look at this martial skill before focusing on another martial skill.

Yunlang Palm is a martial arts palm technique with an unknown rank. It can break mountains and crack rocks when practiced to a small degree. Its power is also unknown at a high level. Hallan Kirkland briefly read the opening introduction and couldn't help but feel a little confused. It's not that this martial arts book has too strict training requirements, but that it has no requirements for practitioners at all.

According to the introduction, this martial skill should be very powerful. A small achievement can have the power of breaking mountains and cracking rocks. If it is a big achievement, wouldn't it be like moving mountains and filling seas? But the higher the level of martial arts, the higher the requirements, just like the first "Walking Against the Wind".

After Hallan Kirkland pondered for a while, he decided to start practicing immediately. The situation in the village has become extremely delicate recently. Several village chiefs from neighboring villages did not come to attend the coming-of-age ceremony. He must improve his strength in a short time. I have just broken through the third level of the physical strength stage, and it will be difficult to make another breakthrough in a short time, so practicing a powerful martial arts is undoubtedly the best choice now.

Slowly turning the second page, there was a line of large characters. "Clouds are floating and empty, their shapes are impermanent, and they move with the wind. Waves are floating on water, stacking their shapes, and moving with the momentum."

Hallan Kirkland took a closer look and saw that these twenty-two big characters were flying and phoenixes were dancing, and the power they brought to people rushed towards them, as if they were about to jump out of the book. It can be seen that these twenty-two words are not only the author's insights, but also a summary of this martial skill.

Although Hallan Kirkland had never practiced martial arts before, he had heard that high-level martial arts could only be understood, and the insights behind them could not be taught. But this line of text clearly made him feel something, and the stroke structure of the twenty-two characters vaguely contained the power of cloud waves. It is difficult to imagine how the author of this book did it.

After making some adjustments, Hallan Kirkland got rid of the distracting thoughts in his mind and began to concentrate on memorizing the meridians and several acupoints used in martial arts. The introduction to this martial art is not exhaustive, and there are several pages of pictures that mark the meridians and acupoints in red so that practitioners can master them more directly.

After the entire martial arts series was read and memorized, new questions arose. There are actually as many as three martial arts operation routes recorded in the book.

"Could it be that two fake operating methods are mixed in to cover up the real operating method?"

Hallan Kirkland started to study it carefully again with a puzzled look on his face. Unknowingly, he had been studying here all night. When the first ray of sunlight shone on the top of the cliff, Hallan Kirkland raised his head in shock, ignoring the dazzling sunlight that shone directly into his eyes.

He said to himself: "Are the three methods all real operating methods? This means that if you want to send out the Cloud Wave Palm, you need to mobilize three spiritual energy at the same time, run through different meridians at the same time, and finally converge at the palm position. This... …How can this be."

He didn't know that one of his brilliant ideas had solved the mystery of this martial art that had remained unsolvable for countless years.

With a dull look on Hallan Kirkland looked at the golden sun with only a corner visible in the distance. He didn't react suddenly until his eyes were pricked with tears by the sunlight. He reached out and rubbed his eyes gently, and suddenly a flash of light seemed to flash through his mind. Hallan Kirkland felt as if he had caught something, but it seemed that he had caught nothing.

Just as he raised his hand to scratch his head, his palm suddenly paused in front of his eyes. At this time, his slender white palms had tears stains that he had just wiped away. Suddenly a kind of ecstasy rose from the bottom of his heart, and he stood up suddenly and roared loudly.

"I understand, that's how it is."

An epiphany finally allowed Hallan Kirkland to understand the principles of operation of the three meridians. This was also inspired by the tears in his hands. He had never been able to figure out how to use three meridians at the same time to send spiritual energy to the palm of his hand. When he saw the tears that had been wiped several times merged into one in his hand, he finally understood how to use it.

It is to send out the spiritual energy in sequence. When the first wave of spiritual energy reaches the palm, it is held but not released. It is not until all the spiritual energy is transported to the palm that it is completely spit out. This should bring out the true power of Yunlang Palm.

This was Hallan Kirkland biggest gain since he started practicing. He didn't know that since the day this book was written, there had been many amazing and talented people who had practiced this martial skill, but in the end they all got stuck on the first step and couldn't use it.

This does not mean that those people are really inferior to Hallan Kirkland's wisdom, but this kind of martial arts using three meridians at the same time is too shocking.

Most people who have seen this martial art will have the same first thought as Zuo Feng. Only one meridian is the real method of use. Even if someone as whimsical as Hallan Kirkland occasionally comes up with the method of converging the three strands, it is useless if he cannot complete the movement of spiritual energy in an instant.

By chance, the biggest problem in practicing this technique is no longer a problem for Hallan Kirkland, a man whose aura contains the power of thunder.

Hallan Kirkland tried to mobilize the spiritual energy in the air sea, and slowly sent it out according to the order of the album. The spiritual energy containing electric current reached the palm of his hand almost instantly. Then the second and third strands were sent out in sequence. Hallan Kirkland that the spiritual energy had become extremely slow when passing through the second meridian. And before the third stream of spiritual energy reaches his palm, the previously gathered spiritual energy has slowly dispersed.

After trying many times to no avail, Hallan Kirkland finally gave up. He felt that his cultivation was probably too weak. Looking at the sun that had already risen in the sky and feeling the hunger in his stomach, Hallan Kirkland shook his head helplessly.

It seems that if he wants to reach the stage of minor maturity in this martial arts, he still has a long way to go. He himself didn't know it, but a shocking martial skill had been unlocked by him. In the many life-and-death battles in the future, it was this powerful martial skill that made him invincible.

For ten consecutive days, Hallan Kirkland went to the forest outside the village to practice Yunlang Palm repeatedly every day. Unknowingly, he seemed to have returned to the state of hard training a year ago.

Although the power of the palm technique has been slightly improved compared to the initial stage, it is still far from the ability to break mountains and crack rocks in the minor stage. He has never been to that waterfall again, not only because of Japheth Peck's warning, but also because it now involves his biggest secret.

When Hallan Kirkland woke up early in the morning, he had a hasty breakfast as usual, and then took two pieces of dry food from the table and put them in his arms. The family was accustomed to this, because he would never go home until the sun set.

"Brother, you promised to catch a little beast for me to raise. It's been a few days."

Hearing his sister's voice, Hallan Kirkland's face fell. In the past few days, he had been concentrating on practicing martial arts and had long forgotten his sister's request. Only when his sister mentioned it did he suddenly remember it.

Looking back, I saw a pretty red figure beside the door. A pair of big eyes are dark and bright, with long eyelashes that are thick and curled upward. The delicate melon-seed face, smooth skin, tall nose and cherry-shaped mouth make people fall in love with her at first glance.

He stretched out his hand and lovingly rubbed his little head, which was only a little shorter than himself, and said with a smile: "Don't be anxious, Mineko. Brother will definitely help you catch a cute little beast in the next few days."

Mineko Kirkland pouted and shook his head, pretending to be angry and said: "Huh, just lying. That's what you said three days ago. If you can't catch the little beast again, you will be better off."

As he spoke, he raised his little fist and waved it twice in the air, made a face and jumped away.

Hallan Kirkland looked at his sister's back, shook his head helplessly, smiled, and strode out, but a hint of warmth rose in his heart.

"Hallan Kirkland"

Hallan Kirkland had just walked out of the house when he heard an anxious voice calling him. Turning his head to look, an unfamiliar figure came into view.

This man was slightly older than Hallan Kirkland, around sixteen or seventeen. He is quite tall, almost half a head taller than himself. He was dressed in light blue clothes, with a long knife slung across his waist. Hallan Kirkland vaguely remembered that this young man seemed to be cousins ​​with Titouan Kirkland, and his name was probably Bernardo Kirkland.

Hallan Kirkland didn't have a good impression of this group of people and said coldly: "Something's wrong."

He didn't care at all about Hallan Kirkland cold attitude, and still said with a bright smile: "There is an operation on the Young Regiment's side, and we need to disperse to investigate some clues."

"The actions of the Young Regiment, why are they not the hunting team? And I don't seem to be a member of the Young Regiment. What does your action have to do with me?"

Hallan Kirkland was confused. The hunting group was responsible for the general activities The Kirkland Village. The hunting group was composed of young people over the age of eighteen. As for the Young League members, they are the teenagers who were born after the coming-of-age ceremony until they were eighteen years old. Strictly speaking, Hallan Kirkland did not participate in the Young League's entrance ceremony and was not considered a member of the Young League at all.

"The hunting group also participated in this operation, mainly because Diarmaid Peck's team lost contact since yesterday."

Hearing Diarmaid Peck's name, Hallan Kirkland's heart moved slightly. Diarmaid Peck is the eldest son of the master. His personality is very different from that of the Indra Peck Teng Fang. He also takes a lot of care of himself. Since something happened to Diarmaid Peck, it was his duty to help, so he asked urgently.

"What happened to Diarmaid Peck and the others? What is the mission of the young regiment?"

The young man named Bernardo Kirkland showed an imperceptible smile when he saw Hallan Kirkland anxious look.
