"Then freeing it is useless! Quenching Fire Palm, you can't even produce fire, what's the point!"
The Supre Power thought Tang Rao had practiced to so extent, but there was no fire in his hands at all, just like those he had seen before, which couldn't be considered a success.
"Is it not considered successful if the fire is too small?"
Tang Rao felt he was already successful but didn't realize that his notion of success was far from reality.
"Of course it's not successful. If a little fire counts as success, you might as well consider Quenching Fire Palm a third-rate martial art!"
The Supre Power had given Tang Rao a great gift, but he wasn't sure whether this gift and Tang Rao were destined for each other.
"I never said it was a third-rate martial art. How about I try to activate it, and the Supre Power can help see what's gone wrong?"
Tang Rao discussed with the Supre Power. Even though he didn't know how to activate the skill, as an elder, the Supre Power had vast experience and might just be able to guide Tang Rao.
"Try to activate it, and I'll do my best to see. This martial art doesn't suit either, so I'm not sure if my guidance will be helpful. You better not have high expectations."
Tang Rao nodded.
After the Supre Power agreed, Tang Rao quickly focused on his hands, channeling all his Immortal Energy, and mixing it with the Dan Fire to gather in his palms.
His palms began to heat up. Gradually, Tang Rao rged his ring finger with his index finger around his wrist, then slowly opened them.
A tiny cluster of fire appeared in Tang Rao's hand, its color vivid, seeming much better than before. Was this giving Tang Rao face or giving the Supre Power face?
"The fire you've refined in your hands is the largest I've ever seen. Perhaps you are indeed destined with the Quenching Fire Palm!"
The Supre Power had just said the Quenching Fire Palm might not suit Tang Rao, suddenly saying it's destined for him. Such a quick change of mind is sothing only he and won can accomplish.
"Thanks for your blessing. I do want to be destined with the Quenching Fire Palm, but whether we are destined, we can't see just yet!"
For now, Tang Rao's fire was small, whether he could produce a larger fire would be known later. As ntioned by the Supre Power, it's hard to be certain now; only when Tang Rao's strength progresses further, and the fire in his hand grows bigger, will it stand out.
"How's Feng Qingyang doing?"
The Supre Power continued to ask.
"Haven't practiced yet. Just the Quenching Fire Palm has exhausted ; Feng Qingyang, I haven't had a chance to even look at it."
Tang Rao was honest, and the Supre Power seed not too pleased with his honesty.
"When fire ets wind, small fire gets extinguished, while big fire grows fiercer. Ferocious fire and strong wind complent each other; Feng Qingyang aids your Quenching Fire Palm. That's why I gave you both martial arts together."
There's such logic behind it?
Tang Rao thought martial arts were randomly selected for him. Turns out, each martial art has its own rationale.
There's considerable connection between them.
"Quenching Fire Palm has shown so improvent. Don't put it down imdiately; take a look at Feng Qingyang too. I acquired these two martial arts from the sa place. Studying more will benefit you."
The Supre Power said multiple tis about the benefits, so they must exist. Even if Tang Rao is proud, guidance from a senior should be rembered.
"Yes."
Fortunately, the Supre Power arrived in ti. Otherwise, Tang Rao would have thought his strength was improving, tirelessly returning to his original state, thinking he could be as strong as before. But as he saw more, he realized his view hadn't broadened enough; he needed to see more.
At this mont, he felt more like a longti frog at the bottom of a well, finally hopping to the edge, seeing the outside sky.
"Practice diligently, don't think you're unbeatable now. There are far more people stronger than you."
Tang Rao returned to the room again. Quenching Fire Palm was deeply ingrained in Tang Rao's mind to the extent he could recite it fluently.
After reviewing Feng Qingyang once more, Wen Jiancheng started examining Feng Qingyang.
The martial art of Feng Qingyang emphasizes using softness to overco strength, a blend of hard and soft. Practicing softness as a macho man feels sowhat strange to Tang Rao.
After finishing Feng Qingyang, the knowledge of these two martial arts in Tang Rao's mind began to collide wonderfully, and such a great collision made Tang Rao uneasy.
He always thought martial arts were independent entities. He practiced whatever he wanted, but that's not entirely true.
Had it not happened to Tang Rao, he wouldn't believe it either. From the mont martial arts existed in his mind, they began to rge, began to transform.
Tang Rao's mind ached all night. The two martial arts twisted and fought in his mind all night long.
Until dawn, outside the chickens and dogs Divine Beast began to call, he then slowly woke up.
His mind exploded countless tis overnight, and Tang Rao inwardly cursed an alpaca countless tis.
"Still exploding? Go on, keep exploding for ."
Luckily it was just Tang Rao alone, otherwise if others heard him they might think he was going mad. Talking to himself wasn't all; his temper wasn't great either.
After a good curse, there was no more echo in Tang Rao's mind.
It seems the Fire Martial Technique and the Wind Martial Technique have reached consensus, becoming one.
"I wonder if practicing Quenching Fire Palm now will make the fire cluster a bit bigger?"
Tang Rao thought about it and acted on it.
Like before, he channeled all his Immortal Energy into his palms, with Immortal Energy and Dan Fire united, and after forming the seal, a fla appeared in Tang Rao's palm.
This ti the fire cluster was larger than any previous cluster Tang Rao had produced, each one larger than the last. It seems Quenching Fire Palm was indeed compatible, allowing Tang Rao to keep progressing.
"Hahaha, activating two martial arts together proves more effective than on their own. No wonder previous people failed. They need to be combined and activated together to unleash their greatest effect."
Interesting, interesting.
For this discovery, Tang Rao wished he could imdiately share it with the Supre Power.
But thinking again, he realized he needed to be more composed. If he went out now, the Supre Power would certainly ridicule Tang Rao again, telling him that actually it wasn't a big deal.
Having aged, Tang Rao wasn't capable of enduring the sa great blows he used to withstand.
"Mid-stage Divine Realm strength, paired with martial arts that suit mid-stage Divine Realm, I wonder what Realm opponent I could face?"
After so long dwelling in Zijing City, Tang Rao was oblivious to everything outside. Now at the bottleneck of cultivation, he needed to step outside, searching for new opportunities.
