Comprehensive Martial Arts: Relying on Pili Martial Arts to Achieve Dimensionality Reduction Attack

Chapter 215: Unique Armor Breaking Method

The Mirror Man continued to explain.

"The 'yiqi' in this move refers to the energy when the 'yin and yang forces' in nature are combined and used together, and the 'hua' refers to the most important core concept of this kung fu, which is to 'dissipate the opponent's internal force'."

"'Nine' and 'hundred' need to be separated. Both numbers are imaginary."

"Because 'nine' is the extreme number, it is used to refer to the limit of martial arts. It also means that this martial art can only be performed with nine times the force at most. 'Hundred' is a general term, which means that one must have a very solid foundation to use this move."

"'One Qi Transformed into Nine Hundred' is, in the final analysis, a skill that uses the power of yin and yang to absorb the opponent's moves, then adds one's own internal strength and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and returns it to the opponent with up to nine times the power."

"Of course, in this process, how much of the opponent's internal force can be dissipated, how much of one's own internal force is needed, and how much spiritual energy of heaven and earth is infused depends on the user's own ability and the specific situation during the battle."

After Zang Jingren's patient explanation, everyone finally understood the principle and expressed admiration for the Black and White Man who was able to create this kung fu.

Lu Ping lowered his head, as if thinking about something.

The setting in the old drama was nine hundred times, and in the new Golden Light it was twice. Will the power be increased to a maximum of nine times in this world?

It's reasonable.

Old Man Sun shook his pipe and continued, "The whole process of using this Kung Fu can be summed up in four words: 'collect, transform, move and release'."

"Collection, transformation, movement and release is a skill, or a martial arts concept. Those with high martial arts talent may be able to comprehend the essence of 'collection, transformation and release', such as Tai Chi."

"But 'One Breath Transformed into Nine Hundred' is the unique skill of the Black and White Gentleman. It is extremely difficult for others to perform it together."

Lu Ping thought for a moment and asked, "Can this skill be used actively?"

Old Man Sun replied, "Of course you can! If you don't absorb the opponent's moves and actively send them out, it will just be missing the process of 'receiving' and 'transforming'."

"But if you want to exert a stronger power, you need to add more internal energy and absorb more spiritual energy from heaven and earth. But when it comes to fighting, you must use a fighting style that reduces the consumption of internal energy and saves time for absorbing spiritual energy."

Now I completely understand!
Lu Ping turned to look at Cang Jingren; "So, Senior, what you mean is that as long as my palm power is strong enough, I can break the magic armor?"

If all you need is huge energy, then 'Tianyue Pingzong' is more than enough.

However, after hearing this, Zang Jingren's mask revealed a look of disdain, as if to say "How come you don't understand this?" and he looked at Lu Ping strangely.

"You made a mistake."

"According to what you said, the reason why 'One Qi Transformed into Nine Hundred' can break the devil's armor is not because of its power, but because of its ability to 'absorb Qi'."

The Demon Armor is a protective gas shield, which can be absorbed by "One Breath into Nine Hundred", which is equivalent to ignoring the protective gear when the move hits, so the Black and White Man can inflict real damage to the Flame Demon.

Now Lu Ping finally understood.

Absorbing Qi?

It seems like I also have this skill...

The Tai Chi Xuan Quan method of absorbing the power of wind and clouds seems to have the same effect as the method of absorbing the energy of One Breath into Nine Hundred.

Moreover, the Tianyue Pingzong palm technique can inflict such high damage because it absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the essence of the universe.

In this case, can't I also break the devil's armor?

It is difficult to get an exact result based on guesswork alone. This kind of thing still needs to be verified personally.

But how to verify it now?

The battle with the Flame Demon is scheduled for ten days later. Do we have to run to the West Sword Stream base and tell the Flame Demon, "Let's have a warm-up battle before the final battle"?
Only a fool would agree to this obvious 'reconnaissance tactic'!
"Boss Lu, what are you thinking about?"

"I wonder if the Fire Demon is a fool..."

Everyone: "...??"

Lu Ping expressed his thoughts, and everyone was silent for a moment.

"Maybe, we can give it a try."

How to try?
Half an hour later, the group arrived at the forest outside the city.

"Senior, are you sure?"

Zang Jingren snorted coldly: "I am not Dongfang Bubai, just attack me with all your strength!"

Yes, the testing method is to let Lu Ping compete with Cang Jingren, so that he, who has fought with the Black and White Man, can judge for himself whether Lu Ping's martial arts are effective.

Having said that, it is impossible to go all out.

Even Lu Ping himself couldn't control Tian Yue Pingzong's full strength. It would be disastrous if he turned this place into a pit.

As for Taiji Xuan, when he fought against Dongfang Bubai last night, Cang Jingren was watching the fight and had seen most of it. Now, after experiencing it personally, he has a deeper understanding.

After half a day of testing, Zang Jingren finally gave his own judgment:

"The way you absorb it is about 80% similar to 'One Qi Transforms into Nine Hundred'. Also, the 'Tai Chi Xuan' you used also shows signs of invoking the power of Yin and Yang. It's worth a try!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this reply. This was undoubtedly good news.

Lu Ping also felt relieved. He had planned that if this didn't work, he would have to use the magical artifact Wheel of Time.

That thing can even cut off the divine pillars of the Thunderbolt World, so can’t it break a mere fake Demon Armor?
Now it seems that there is no need to use a butcher knife to kill a chicken. Your own artifact can just keep gathering dust in the system backpack.

In the following days, Chu Liuxiang, Hu Tiehua, Old Man Sun and others left.

Lu Ping stayed in Fengyun City, and together with others, including Lin Pingzhi and Murong Jiu who had returned earlier, he gathered half of the members of the "Wanshiwu" and rented a yard to live in temporarily.

Every day, he would go shopping, play, or review his martial arts to prepare for the battle. But within two days, Xiao Yuer brought some bad news.

"The senior Lei Shou from the world's number one village is most likely dead."

Lei Shou, the former and current number one marksman in the world, is still very famous in the martial arts world. He is also an upright, noble, chivalrous and brave man, and is a well-known hero in the martial arts world.

Lu Ping was startled, frowned and asked: "When did it happen? How did he die?"

"It's unclear how he died, but his name has disappeared from the Fengyun Monument."

Although Lei Shou was already old and didn't have many years left to live, it was too coincidental that the accident happened at this time. Few people would believe it was an accident.

"Could it be that it was done by the West Sword Stream?"

"It's possible. I heard that the Western Sword School has been very active recently, challenging those famous masters in the martial arts world. The martial arts masters who had previously left their names on the Fengyun Monument, such as Mu Dao Ren, Guo Songyang, and others, have also been attacked by the Heavenly Kings, the Six Divisions, and the Eight Gates."

As Xiao Yuer told Lu Ping about the recent situation, he realized that such a big thing had happened in the past few days.

"Why didn't the others come with you?"

Xiao Yu'er's mouth twitched: "I went shopping."

These words were undoubtedly spoken by Tie Xinlan and Su Ying. Among this group of people, only they two liked shopping. Murong Jiu, who was also a girl, preferred to stay at home.

"I mean Hua Wu Que, Miss Tie and Miss Su shouldn't need to carry bags, right?"

In this era, it seems that there is no need to carry any bags when going shopping.

"That guy and Cangjingren haven't been seen for several days. Who knows where they went? No, it's been so many days. Did you just realize they were missing?"

"I'm busy eating, sleeping and practicing every day, so how can I care about other people?"

It’s fine that Hua Wuque is missing, but where could the Mirror Man have gone?
Could it be that he went to find Shi Yanwen?
Speaking of which, I wonder if the body that Flame Demon Genjuro resurrected is Xiaokong's? If it is, then Shi Yanwen shouldn't have been silent...

and many more!

Before, when we were at Zhengqi Villa, we learned from Qiao Rulai, Shi Yanwen and others that Xiaokong should have gone to travel around the world, so it is entirely possible that they were unaware of the situation!

Just as I was thinking about it, there was a sudden "knock knock" sound at the door.

"Do you have a guest today?"

"No..." Lu Ping asked in confusion and opened the gate.

The visitors were Li Xunhuan, whom he had met once, and his apprentice Ye Kai.

"You two, this is..."

"Friend Lu, can you allow my master and I to come in and have a talk?"

"……Can."

Ever since he cured Ye Kai of the poison in the capital city, Lu Ping hadn't seen these two people again. He didn't expect that they would come to him at this time.

The purpose of the two men's visit was very simple. The first thing they did was to explain Lei Shou's death to Lu Ping.

"So it was indeed someone from the West Sword School who did it?"

"good."

Li Xun Huan's expression was not very good: "Senior Shi Han Chen was also present at the time and saw it with his own eyes."

"A few days ago, the people from the Western Sword School came to pick a fight, and Senior Lei Shou gladly accepted the challenge. He had already defeated one of the six ministers, but the other party sent out others right after that."

"Senior Lei Shou was already old and could not bear the repeated battles. He died of exhaustion. Senior Shi Hanchen was also seriously injured while protecting his old friend and has not been able to get out of bed yet."

Both of them are old martial artists with a long history. Although the time when they were active in the martial arts world is a bit far away from now, their reputation for being altruistic and chivalrous is real.

Although Lu Ping was not familiar with these two people and his impression of them in the original drama was limited to background characters, he still felt sorry for them. He was even more disgusted and contemptuous of Xijianliu's round-robin approach.

"So the person who did it is..."

"A man named Crescent Moon Tears, said to be one of the Four Heavenly Kings."

Okay, then I don’t blame you for losing.

Lei Shou's strength is definitely above that of the six tribes. With the Xiaoling Spear in his hand, he can at least defeat an opponent of Yamatai Xiao's level. However, there is still some gap when facing Yueya Lei.

"You two, master and disciple, have come here specially, aren't you just here to report the death?"

"That's not it."

Li Xun Huan said: "At present, the Western Sword School is undoubtedly targeting the people whose names are on the Fengyun Monument. After Senior Lei Shou was killed, I will probably be the next one, so I came to find you."

"Well... I don't think you would do something like asking me to protect your lives, right?"

“Hahaha…Brother Lu really knows how to joke.”

Li Xun Huan smiled happily for the first time in three days: "I came here today just to ask you for some information about the people of the Western Sword School."

Whether leading troops in battle or engaging in a duel, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle.

Lu Ping is the only person in the martial arts world today who has fought against all the masters of the Western Sword School. His experience and opinions are the best instruction manual for others who are about to face this behemoth.

Another half day passed after he explained to Li Xunhuan the abilities of everyone in Xijianliu.
