Chapter 22 Magnetic Fields
Ghost Hand King's eyes widened even more.
He clearly sensed that Li Cunzhen was using a method that reversed the eight directions. Stimulating the eight meridians and activating the energy field—these techniques matched perfectly.
But why did it emit lightning?
He couldn't understand it!
Ghost Hand King had practiced the Reversal of Eight Directions technique his whole life, but he had never produced anything like it before, and he never even imagined that his skill could be related to lightning.
"What...what is this?"
Ghost Hand King was completely panicked; his voice had even changed tone. He stepped forward and grasped Li Cunzhen's hand, saying:
"Where did this lightning come from?!"
Seeing his anxious look, Li Cunzhen didn't hold back and explained frankly.
"It's amazing that you can control the force field of heaven and earth by reversing the eight directions, but you only see the gravitational field that is visible to the naked eye, while ignoring the magnetic field hidden deeper inside."
Gravity? Magnetism?
Ghost Hand King was completely bewildered, his gaunt face filled with confusion. He had never heard of either of those terms before.
Seeing his expression, Li Cunzhen shook his head:
"This is something Westerners have studied. With your current level of knowledge, it's difficult for me to explain it clearly to you."
Ghost Hand King was stunned.
He is the founder of the Wang School of Reversing Eight Directions. He figured out every key technique for this craft from scratch on his own.
But now, some people are saying that he lacks sufficient knowledge in the application of "reversing directions".
What's worse, he actually seems to be right!
Wang Yaozu, the master of divination, had barely touched his own family's Four Books and Five Classics, let alone Western things.
What is electromagnetic force? What is gravity?
That's a pipe dream for him!
Ghost Hand King was seething with anger, but he refused to admit defeat. He snorted coldly and said dismissively:
[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name: 202ᴋᴋs.ᴄᴏᴍ]
"So what if you can unleash lightning? In my opinion, it's not as effective as simply projecting a force field."
Li Cunzhen didn't argue, he just smiled.
suddenly
He clenched his right fist and threw a punch forward with all his might.
boom!
The punch landed in mid-air, producing a muffled whooshing sound. Its speed was incredible, so fast that an ordinary person could only see a blur.
As the fist swept past, Ghost Hand King's pupils suddenly contracted.
The speed and power of this punch are comparable to the performance of some extraordinary individuals who specialize in external martial arts at the early stages of their training.
However, Li Cunzhen specializes in the orthodox internal martial arts foundation-building techniques of the Xuanmen school. Even if his body is stronger than that of ordinary people due to the nourishment of true qi, he should not have such explosive power.
"This...this was also done using that thing called electromagnetic force?"
Even Ghost Hand King is starting to stutter.
Li Cunzhen nodded:
"Electromagnetic force can not only discharge electricity, but also stimulate specific meridians, enhancing the reaction speed of muscles and nerves."
Ghost Hand King fell silent.
Everything that happened today was completely beyond his comprehension!
How old is this kid?
Not even ten years old.
I just learned how to reverse the eight directions in half an hour.
Not only did he gain direct access to the field, but he also used methods that even the founder himself didn't understand.
Ghost Hand King has two biggest regrets in his life.
One is to seek revenge on Zuo Ruotong.
Secondly, we need to find a successor for the "Reversing the Eight Directions" technique.
The first one is probably hopeless.
But the second thing is that God delivered Li Cunzhen to his doorstep, it was as if He Shi Bi (a legendary jade disc) was stuffed into his hands!
With this kid's talent, if he were willing to pass on the art of reversing the eight directions, his skill, which is regarded as a circus act by the world, could probably be recognized as a high-level skill, just like the Reverse Life Triple Realm.
No, it's not just about gaining access to the inner chambers.
This kid has already proven that the road to reversal in all directions is still very wide, so wide that even he, the founder, has never seen the whole picture.
I've spent my whole life just wandering around the riverbank, while this kid, though he's only just entered the water, is already swimming deeper.
If he can take over this craft and continue down this path, he can reach places he could never have reached in his lifetime.
Even if one truly has no one to see them off in their final days.
This craft is the legacy of Wang Yaozu!
Ghost Hand King stared at Li Cunzhen, his eyes growing brighter and brighter, as if he wanted to devour him whole.
Li Muxuan watched from the side and couldn't help but shiver.
He tugged at Li Cunzhen's sleeve and whispered, "Brother, why is this old man looking at you like you're his daughter-in-law?"
Li Cunzhen didn't reply, but simply shifted his body slightly to shield Li Muxuan behind him.
Ghost Hand King stared at Li Cunzhen with a somewhat frightening look in his eyes.
He suddenly grabbed Li Cunzhen's wrist.
"Kid, you stay here."
Li Cunzhen struggled, but couldn't break free.
"Senior Wang, you have taught us what you needed to teach, and we have learned what we needed to learn. It's time for us to go back."
"go back?"
Ghost Hand King shook his head, his tone becoming urgent:
"Go back where? Back to the Sanyi Sect? What can the Sanyi Sect teach you? The Reverse Life Triple Technique is good, but I, Wang Yaozu, can guarantee that with your talent in this skill, if you follow me, your final achievements will not be lower than those of learning the Reverse Life Triple Technique!"
"I don't understand your electromagnetic theory. But you can use the Reversed Eight Directions technique to generate lightning and strengthen your body, making it even stronger. That's enough. Pass on the Reversed Eight Directions technique. No matter what school it's called, whether it's the Wang school or the Li school, as long as it's passed down and passed through your hands, this skill will no longer be just a street performance!"
Ghost Hand King's voice trembled with excitement.
Li Cunzhen frowned: "Senior Wang, I already said that I have a master. I have already become Zuo Ruotong's disciple."
Forget about Zuo Ruotong!
Ghost Hand King raised his voice: "You come with me, and I'll give you everything I've got hidden away, nothing I'll keep!"
Li Muxuan, listening from the side, grinned from ear to ear:
"Old man, are you trying to rob me?"
Ghost Hand King ignored him and stared intently at Li Cunzhen.
Those old eyes churned with resentment, stubbornness, and an indescribable plea.
He lived a life of chivalry and never asked for favors.
But now.
He requested a child under ten years old.
But he knew in his heart that if he missed Li Cunzhen, he would never meet another one like him in his life.
Ghost Hand King gritted his teeth, tightened his five fingers, and gathered strength in his palm.
He was determined that even if the Sanyi Sect chased him to the ends of the earth, he would take Li Cunzhen away.
At worst, we can find a place to hide for a few years and teach this kid his skills first!
He had just turned around, but hadn't even taken a step yet.
A surge of energy wafted over from the direction of the village entrance.
It was very light, like a normal breeze, silently sweeping across the barren fields, over the low walls, and past everyone present.
Ghost Hand King and the others present were instantly frozen in place.
Everyone looked towards the village entrance at the same time, and saw a figure with an ethereal aura walking from the dirt road at the village entrance.
Clad in white robes and with white hair, his divine light was contained within, like that of a celestial being.
His steps seemed no different from those of an ordinary person, yet they moved with incredible speed, as if the distance between them had shrunk to an inch.
The Great Immortal.
Zuo Ruotong.
"Damn it! When did those two brats send the message?"
Ghost Hand King instinctively grabbed Li Cunzhen and tried to run away, but stopped before he could even turn around.
Ah, that's Zuo Ruotong.
If he doesn't let himself go, even ten of him wouldn't be able to leave.
But Ghost Hand King still did not release Li Cunzhen.
Zuo Ruotong stopped and glanced at Li Cunzhen, then at Li Muxuan.
Fortunately.
Although the two disciples were covered in dust, they were not seriously injured.
Then, his gaze fell on Li Cunzhen's wrist, which was being held.
The sound remained calm and even.
"Old Wang, you should probably stop using your hands."
The voice just fell.
The energy had changed; it was no longer like a gentle breeze, but rather like a raging flood.
Every member of the Quanxing sect felt like a small boat in a turbulent sea. Only the Li brothers were protected and felt nothing except for the gentle breeze on their faces.
Ghost Hand King, who was facing Zuo Ruotong, felt every bone in his body trembling.
Decades later, the gap between him and Zuo Ruotong has only widened.
Ghost Hand King lowered his head, his shoulders trembling slightly.
We definitely can't win if we fight.
Since he hadn't laid a hand on the two children, given Zuo Ruotong's temperament, she might not have taken his life.
Maybe I can just leave like this.
but.
Ghost Hand King glanced at Li Cunzhen beside him.
Once you miss this opportunity, you'll never have another chance.
Then, there was a loud thud.
The infamous Ghost Hand King of Quanxing actually knelt down like that.
It wasn't even about kneeling to Zuo Ruotong.
Instead, he faced Li Cunzhen, his knees slamming into the muddy ground.
"Young man... no, Mr. Li."
"In my entire life, I've never taken on an apprentice, nor have I ever asked anyone for a favor."
I'm begging you now.
"I beg you to pass on the 'Upside-Down Eight Directions' technique; it can't continue to be regarded as a low-class juggling act!"
He raised his head, his eyes cloudy.
"There's nothing I can't let go of in my life except this skill, which I can't bear to be buried with me."
