I'm Just Making Up The Exercises, My Disciple, Have You Really Mastered Them?

Chapter 34: Xu Yan: Dragon Subduing Palm is truly powerful.

Li Xuan never expected that Xu Yan would ask such a question.

It can only be said that he is truly someone who can successfully cultivate a fabricated martial art. His thinking and focus are different from ordinary people.

But this question cannot stump him!

With a satisfied expression on his face, Li Xuan looked at Xu Yan with gratification.

"Disciple, the fact that you can ask this question at this time shows that your comprehension is good, and you have already glimpsed the path of the Dragon Subduing Palm.

"There is a saying, 'fight poison with poison,' have you heard of it, disciple?

"The Dragon Subduing Palm is the same, subduing dragons with dragons.

"Dragons are divine beasts, born with divine abilities. How can they be easily subdued?

"And this Dragon Subduing Palm, subduing dragons with dragons, not only subdues their bodies but also their will. It attacks both their physical form and their willpower!"

Li Xuan started making things up.

"Subduing their bodies and their will, attacking both their physical form and their willpower?"

Xu Yan was greatly shocked and felt that the Dragon Subduing Palm was truly mysterious and unfathomable.

Although he didn't understand how to subdue both the body and the will, how to attack both the physical form and the willpower, it didn't diminish his awe for the Dragon Subduing Palm.

He felt excited in his heart: "I must cultivate the Dragon Subduing Palm. If I encounter a real dragon one day, I will use this palm to subdue it!"

"Master, I understand. I will definitely cultivate the Dragon Subduing Palm and comprehend its true meaning."

Xu Yan said firmly.

"Yes, I believe in you!"

Li Xuan felt relieved.

"Remember the Dragon Subduing Palm mantra, disciple. This is the true meaning of the Dragon Subduing Palm. If you can comprehend a little bit, you can enter the door of the Dragon Subduing Palm. If you can comprehend its true meaning, then it will become a Martial Dao Divine Ability."

Li Xuan had put a lot of effort into creating the mantra for the Dragon Subduing Palm.

Whether it would succeed or not depended on Xu Yan himself.

"Disciple will remember it in my heart!"

Xu Yan respectfully said.

"Listen carefully."

Li Xuan said seriously, "Dragons have divine abilities and can change according to the situation. They possess great power that can shake the heavens and the earth. When they are angry, they can create wind and thunder, and when they hide, they leave no trace. Their strikes can reach thousands of miles, and they are invincible. They are both flexible like water and unpredictable in their transformations. They can follow or go against the flow according to their will."

Xu Yan muttered the mantra, pondering in his mind. There seemed to be a flash of insight, but he couldn't grasp it.

"Come with me."

Li Xuan walked towards the flat area with the Eight Trigrams Diagram drawn on it, his hands behind his back.

"Yes, Master!"

Xu Yan respectfully followed behind.

"Do you see it? This is the Eight Trigrams!"

Li Xuan pointed to the Eight Trigrams Diagram on the ground.

"Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen, Dui..."

Li Xuan explained to Xu Yan the knowledge he remembered about the Eight Trigrams, and also shared some of his own fabricated theories that sounded profound and powerful.

"The profound changes of the Eight Trigrams are endless. How much you can comprehend and understand depends on yourself... Footwork, techniques, and more can all be comprehended within the Eight Trigrams."

"Entering the door of cultivation depends on the individual's ability to grasp the moment of enlightenment. Today, I will pass on to you the Dragon Subduing Palm and the wonders of the Eight Trigrams. You should carefully contemplate them."

After explaining, Li Xuan spoke solemnly.

"Yes, Master. I will definitely not disappoint you!"

Xu Yan respectfully nodded.

In his mind, all he could think about at this moment was the discourse on the Eight Trigrams. The more he thought about it, the more he felt its infinite mysteries. He felt that he could continue to comprehend it.

"This is the supreme Martial Dao!"

Xu Yan thought excitedly.

"You should allocate your practice time well. Cooking, feeding the chickens, and other chores should only be done once a day."

Li Xuan pondered for a moment and said.

He needed to give more time for his disciple to cultivate, rather than wasting it on feeding chickens, planting vegetables, and cooking.

With his current level, he can go without eating or drinking for several days without any problems.

Eating one meal a day is enough.

"Yes, disciple understands!" Xu Yan respectfully replied.

"Mm, practice well." Li Xuan said as he walked away with a leisurely pace, hands behind his back.

Returning to the village, Li Xuan sat down on a chair under a big tree and sighed. He didn't know if his disciple would be able to successfully cultivate.

Focusing his mind, he tried to explore his own Goldfinger.

But he gained nothing.

Goldfinger only appears when Xu Yan gains something from his cultivation.

"Could it be that my strength is too low, so I can't actively see Goldfinger?" Li Xuan speculated in his mind.

"The purpose of Goldfinger should be to make my fabricated martial arts theoretically capable of successful cultivation. Of course, there must be limitations, such as the cultivator's comprehension cannot be too poor.

"This foolish disciple Xu Yan has an extraordinary imagination and exceptional comprehension, which is why he can cultivate successfully.

"It was thanks to Xu Yan, this monster, for becoming my disciple and activating my Goldfinger. Otherwise, I would be stuck in this small village and unable to go anywhere!" Li Xuan sighed in his heart.

It was truly wise to accept Xu Yan as his disciple back then.

...

Xu Yan walked around following the gossip, lost in thought. In his mind, he seemed to have some vague insights, but he couldn't grasp them specifically.

"Let me allocate my cultivation time first. I'll practice Dragon Subduing Palm in the morning and contemplate the Eight Trigrams in the afternoon!"

"Today, I'll start by practicing Dragon Subduing Palm."

With this in mind, Xu Yan returned to the slope where his master taught him Dragon Subduing Palm.

Taking a deep breath, he suddenly struck out with his palm, bursting with qi and blood, like a blazing torrent, crashing out.

"No! This is just the power of qi and blood, it's not the true power of Dragon Subduing Palm!" Xu Yan frowned, lost in thought.

He repeatedly pondered the formula for Dragon Subduing Palm in his mind.

"The dragon possesses divine ability, and the divine ability of the dragon is naturally unmatched in strength. To achieve such strength, one must be fierce and violent, condensing power in an instant...

"My realm is still low, I can't demand too much, so I should lower my expectations...

"The dragon possesses divine ability, how can I display palm strength that is as powerful as the divine ability of a dragon?"

Xu Yan entered a state of forgetting oneself and the world, contemplating.

At a certain moment, he recalled some legendary stories he had read about dragons and some dragon portraits.

In an instant, he had some kind of realization.

Boom!

Qi and blood gathered in his palm, instantly compressing and refining each other, then he struck out with great force.

A surge of qi and blood, with doubled power, suddenly struck a nearby tree.

Crack!

The tree instantly broke and collapsed.

"I understand how to make my palm strength fierce and how to make it surpass common sense." Xu Yan said, his eyes opening, a flash of insight in his mind.

He felt a sudden surge in his chest and abdomen, pushing out with both palms. The surge of qi and blood became even more violent, bursting out with increased power.

Boom!

A small pit was blasted into the ground.

"I finally grasped a bit of the essence. This is just the beginning. This palm of mine, compared to when I practiced Dragon Subduing Palm before, has increased by more than double with a full-force strike. This is not the limit, it's just the beginning!" Xu Yan was excited at this moment.

"I only grasped a bit of the essence, and I can already unleash such powerful palm strength. Dragon Subduing Palm's power is truly incredibly strong!"

After gaining this insight, the next step was to consolidate this understanding, continuously practice to become proficient, and then continue to gain insights and perfect it.
