Chapter 37: Today, I Will Show You a Move (Request for Follows)

Li Xuan sat in his chair, seemingly at ease, but his heart was filled with worry.

It had been such a long time, and Xu Yan still hadn't mastered the Dragon Subduing Palm. Could it be that the technique I created is too abstract, making it hard to grasp?

"Don't rush. Seeing progress means there's still hope."

Li Xuan consoled himself.

"Even if he can't master the Dragon Subduing Palm, as long as his cultivation continues to improve, it's fine. I can just say he doesn't have the talent for it.

"Teach him swordsmanship?

"Would that be easier to cultivate? Xu Yan should have more talent in swordsmanship, right?"

Li Xuan pondered how to teach Xu Yan swordsmanship if he were to do so.

Xu Yan always carried a sword, indicating he was interested in sword techniques, which suggested he had a stronger aptitude for swordsmanship.

How to teach him swordsmanship was a problem.

After all, Li Xuan didn't know any sword techniques or forms; he could only make random movements.

The real issue was how to create a set of swordsmanship theories that Xu Yan could understand and master.

"Let's wait a bit longer. Maybe one day, a flash of inspiration will strike, and he'll master the Dragon Subduing Palm."

Li Xuan focused his mind, trying to sense the golden light, but found nothing again.

"What's up with this golden light? Can it only appear passively?"

He shifted his position to lie more comfortably.

Originally, he planned to move after Xu Yan returned this time.

However, since he had to teach Xu Yan martial arts, he had to continue living in the small village.

"When your disciple masters the Dragon Subduing Palm, you will achieve great mastery, and its power will be ten times that of the same realm."

Suddenly, the golden light appeared.

Boom!

In Li Xuan's mind, the true essence of the Dragon Subduing Palm emerged, instantly reaching the great mastery stage, with power ten times that of the same realm.

In an instant, his eyes seemed to see the image of eighteen hundred-foot-long dragons roaring and coiling!

"Damn!"

"Great job, disciple! You actually really mastered it!"

Li Xuan was extremely excited.

He jumped up from the chair and left the small village.

He arrived at the hill where Xu Yan was practicing. From a distance, he saw two red dragons, each about fifty feet long, coiling and dancing, their movements agile, and when they struck the ground, they left large craters.

He felt an itch in his heart.

"Disciple, not bad. You've barely managed to enter the Dragon Subduing Palm."

Li Xuan walked leisurely, his tone filled with satisfaction.

"Master!"

Xu Yan finished his practice and respectfully bowed, saying, "It's all thanks to Master's guidance."

Li Xuan looked at the ground, covered with craters of various sizes, and the surrounding vegetation, which had been destroyed.

"Your Dragon Subduing Palm has form, but lacks vitality.

"Since you've mastered it, I don't have to worry about it affecting your cultivation. Today, I will show you a move. Watch how the Dragon Subduing Palm looks when it reaches great mastery in the Blood Qi Realm."

Li Xuan emphasized that this was the Dragon Subduing Palm in the Blood Qi Realm, not his true strength.

"Yes, Master!"

Xu Yan was extremely excited.

He hoped to gain some insights from watching his master demonstrate the Dragon Subduing Palm in the Blood Qi Realm.

"Watch closely!"

Li Xuan raised his hand and struck with a palm.

Roar!

A dragon's roar echoed, and a golden hundred-foot-long dragon burst forth, raising its head and roaring as if it were alive.

Boom!

The golden dragon flew out, its claws tearing through a large tree.

Its tail swept across the ground, creating a deep gash.

Boom!

The golden dragon finally struck the ground, leaving a large crater!

Li Xuan's expression remained calm, as if it were just a casual strike, insignificant.

In reality, he was extremely excited.

He had used his full strength for this strike.

The Dragon Subduing Palm at the great mastery stage already had some "living" qualities, and with his power ten times that of the same realm, this strike displayed an overwhelmingly powerful and mighty force.

Even if Xu Yan reached great mastery, he would be far from this level of power.

This is the strength of a master!

After all, Li Xuan's Dragon Subduing Palm was ten times more powerful than the same realm.

Xu Yan's eyes widened in shock.

"Is this just the Dragon Subduing Palm in the Blood Qi Realm? It's terrifying. With such power, one can easily defeat an army.

"Master's casual strike has such might.

"Moreover, Master's Dragon Subduing Palm can roar, as if it were a living dragon.

"I still have a long way to go!"

Xu Yan was deeply shaken.

He realized his shortcomings.

His Dragon Subduing Palm lacked vitality.

Compared to his master's, it still seemed stiff!

"Dragons have divine powers and change with the situation. This is what the incantation should be like. This is just a dragon in the Blood Qi Realm. If the realm is higher, would the dragon truly possess divine powers?"

The deeper he thought, the more he imagined, and the more Xu Yan felt the power and mystery of the Dragon Subduing Palm.

He realized that his understanding of the Dragon Subduing Palm incantation was still superficial.

Seeing his disciple's shocked expression, Li Xuan felt satisfied. He walked away with his hands behind his back, his steps leisurely.

"Disciple, don't be influenced by my palm strength. You need to understand the Dragon Subduing Palm's essence in your own way."

"Yes, Master, I understand!"

Xu Yan bowed.

"Since you've entered the Dragon Subduing Palm, you should also try to understand the Eight Trigrams."

Li Xuan nodded.

Since Xu Yan had successfully cultivated the Dragon Subduing Palm, he should try to understand the Eight Trigrams. If he could gain some insights, Li Xuan would receive strong feedback.

He had defined the Eight Trigrams as very high and profound.

Not only could they be cultivated in the Blood Qi Realm, but they could be understood and cultivated continuously.

At each stage, there could be different insights.

Of course, it all depended on whether Xu Yan could achieve this.

"Yes, Master!"

...

The weather gradually turned cold, and the chill of late autumn was becoming more intense.

However, for Li Xuan, this winter would be very comfortable. Even with thin clothing, he wouldn't feel the cold.

These days, Xu Yan spent more time on the Eight Trigrams.

On the Eight Trigrams diagram, his movements had become much more agile, and his speed had significantly improved, but he still hadn't developed a specific technique.

Li Xuan watched Xu Yan, who was stepping on the Eight Trigrams, his movements agile and speed greatly increased, and fell into deep thought.

"Is it because there are no incantations, so he can't understand them?"

"The Eight Trigrams I explained contain much more than just techniques.

"Without transmitting the incantations related to techniques, he couldn't develop a technique?"

Thinking this, Li Xuan began to ponder.

"Let's try creating a couple of incantations."

Li Xuan remembered that his disciple's breakthrough from the Copper Bone stage to the Golden Bone stage was related to the bone-strengthening technique he had randomly created.

And the successful cultivation of the Dragon Subduing Palm was due to the incantations he had created for it.

Xu Yan had understood and mastered the Dragon Subduing Palm from the incantations.

Therefore, sometimes, just having a theoretical framework isn't enough. If it's combined with techniques and incantations, the probability of successful cultivation increases significantly.

"How should I create the incantations for techniques?"

Li Xuan fell into deep thought.

A breeze blew, and a few yellow leaves on a distant tree branch fell to the ground.

A flash of inspiration struck Li Xuan: "I've got it!"
