Wizard: I brought the wrong system.

Chapter 583 "The Vajra Finger"

Although there was no bloodstain on Claire's clothes, his body was also fine, and with the help of the Seed of Life, catching a few small fish was no problem.

Of course, the fish here weren't as tough as described in Claire's autobiography; Claire discovered this as soon as she caught them, but it didn't stop her from continuing the story.

At this point, we need to find a stone slab, but obviously, there is no such stone slab in reality with inscriptions carved on both sides.

Claire was well aware of this, so she searched around and found a head-sized rock that matched the material described in the book. She then used the other rocks nearby as tools to strike and hammer them together.

With the help of the Seed of Life, an inexhaustible source of stamina, and exceptional physical abilities, Claire was able to overcome the challenge of using unsuitable tools and quickly hammer out a suitable stone slab.

Then, holding the stone slab, he concentrated and recalled for a long time before carefully writing a neat character on a nearby pebble.

Those who practice martial arts uphold justice and punish evil, acting on behalf of Heaven!

Then, through continuous polishing, these characters were carved as if they had been pressed out by fingers.

He was not only trying to understand the state of mind of 'Claire' in 'Claire's Autobiography', but also trying to understand the state of mind of 'The Old Man Who Mending the Sky' through the means of sculpting.

Of course, it's also about making amends for Yaro, bringing that 'Old Man Who Patches Up the Sky,' who clearly only exists in stories, into reality.

In the future, if someone were to retrace the steps of Claire's autobiography, they would find all sorts of corroborating evidence.

This is Claire's "using the false to cultivate the true".

That is, he uses a story that is actually false to cultivate his own true intention of "mending the heavens".

It also makes the originally fictional characters appear more real.

"Claire, try this martial art."

Suddenly, Yaro, who was standing next to him, threw a piece of paper at him.

Claire took it and saw that several large words were written on it—

"The Vajra Finger?"

Claire read the strange name of the martial art.

“Yes, this is a martial art I just wrote, and it’s also the martial art used by the Old Man Who Patches Up the Sky. The words on that stone slab were written with my finger, not carved after being written.” Yaro nodded.

"Carving directly on the stone with your fingers?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Claire's eyes. She looked closely and saw two meridian diagrams clearly drawn on the paper.

Seeing this, Bevan asked curiously, "Teacher Yaro, didn't you say that we need to thoroughly understand the entire 'Eight Extremes Method' and locate all the meridians and acupoints in the body before we can organize these martial arts?"

Yaro nodded and said, "That's right. I only brought out this immature martial arts manual in order to strive for the authenticity of the story."

Of course, don't worry, this martial art mainly follows the arm meridians of the "Swallowing Word Technique," connecting only to the index finger. The meridians in between also use the most mature and concise routes.

There is a meridian on the arm that can affect the intestines, called the "Hand Yangming Large Intestine Meridian". Ya Luo doesn't know if this meridian is the "Hand Yangming Large Intestine Meridian", but it is indeed part of the "Swallowing Technique".

What Yaro did was borrow a portion of the meridians from the "Mending Heaven Technique" he had just pointed out, directly connecting it to the meridians leading to the arm in the upper part of the "Swallowing Word Technique," and using the principle of a high-pressure water gun to replenish his index finger with a high concentration of life force. Claire looked through the meridian diagram and asked doubtfully, "Lord Yaro, a person's finger can't be harder than a stone, can it? How can a finger move a stone?"

Yaro turned around and explained, "What I wrote to you was just the meridian diagram of the Vajra Finger. In my opinion, the Vajra Finger also needs to be combined with external training methods, that is, to exercise the skin, flesh, bones, meridians and acupoints on the index finger."

When it is truly perfected, the cocoon skin, brimming with vitality, is even tougher than cowhide.

The muscles on the upper body will also be very well developed, providing powerful strength and cushioning.

As for bones, even without exercise, human bones are harder than stone, but exercise can increase the hardness of the bones themselves, and also change the structural distribution of compact and spongy bone, strengthening resistance in specific directions…

Most martial arts use this set of theories.

Claire's eyes were blurry as she listened, and Bevin struggled to understand as well.

Seeing this, Yaro could only say, "Anyway, don't worry. Even without the support of life force, a person's hand can still leave a mark on a stone when trained to the limit."

Because leaving a mark is not the kind of carving you are doing now, but rubbing, which adds excessive tension to the stone, making it collide with itself.

It has the support of life, but I'm not sure exactly to what extent it can reach.

However, considering the effect of restoring vitality, it is basically possible to carve words on a stone slab with one's fingers.

Of course, even if you have a meridian chart, don't expect to master it overnight. You need to proceed gradually, giving your skin, flesh, bones, meridians, and acupoints a gradual adaptation process.

Claire listened for a long time, not understanding the rest, but she finally understood this last part.

—With practice, one can indeed achieve the skill of carving words on stone!

"I understand!"

Claire nodded and began to study the new meridian diagram.

His process of learning meridians and acupoints was different from Bevan's. Bevan memorized them one by one, while he directly applied his knowledge, mobilizing the life force seed and moving it directly to the vicinity of the corresponding acupoint to activate it one by one.

After all, a large portion of these acupoints are located on the surface of the body, within the range that the life force seed can influence. The remaining small portion of acupoints are not difficult for Claire either.

Because he has already activated his dantian, just like what Yaro said to Bevin before—

"As long as you remember the location of each acupoint, once you've established your dantian, the specific depth of the acupoint will be where energy travels through the meridians from the dantian to reach."

In other words, once you know the meridian chart and know which direction to start from and where to turn, you don't need to memorize many acupoints. Starting from the dantian, you can directly reach the vicinity of that acupoint.

Of course, Claire's vibrant energy also played a significant role in this.

It's like pouring a basin of water on the ground; only a continuous source of water can allow the water to spread outwards. Otherwise, it would dry up halfway through.

Or, to put it another way, Claire is the legendary "innate master" who has opened the "bridge between heaven and earth," so naturally, practicing these superficial hard skills would be a piece of cake for her.

So Bevin watched as his clothes were still damp when he saw his father pick up the stone slab and slowly begin to carve with one finger.
