Chapter 241: Testing The Boulder Collapsing Fist-II (1/2)
Lin Mu looked at his hand and clenched and unclenched his fist. There didn't seem to be any difference from before and it seemed to be the same as usual.
”It is normal. I'm not feeling any strain or pain in my arm.” Lin Mu replied.
”That's good. That means your body is now strong enough to bear it.” Xukong spoke.
”Back to the technique then.” Lin Mu muttered before entering the stance again.
Lin Mu sensed the spirit qi within his dantian flowing into his meridians as soon as he initiated the technique. The speed was actually faster than with vital energy and the spirit qi wisps quickly entered his arms.
But at this moment Lin Mu was in for a shock as the spirit qi wisps that had entered his arm did not stay in the form of wisps. Instead, they started swirling together and collided into each other over and over until they merged together.
The merging process was quite fast and soon enough, the spirit qi wisps had condensed into the liquefied form. Now instead of fifty wisps of spirit qi, there was a drop of liquid spirit qi in his arm.
”What!?” Lin Mu uttered with shock and lost his concentration.
But because of this, his control over the technique wavered and the drop of liquid spirit qi that had formed dissipated, turning back into wisps.
”Ouch!” Lin Mu yelped.
It was as if someone had pinched his arm quite hard and it had become tensed for a moment. Still, a second later the pain faded away and his arm returned to normal.
”Oh? This is interesting.” Xukong spoke with an elated tone.
Lin Mu used his spirit sense and checked his arm to ensure that it was fine. He checked the muscles and meridians of his arm and found them to be the same as before. No damage had been caused to them because of his mistake.
”What do you mean, Senior?” Lin Mu questioned.
”Looks like the centripetal force that the technique generates is strong enough that it can condense the spirit qi wisps into a liquid form. This is rather unique, and I have seen few other techniques that can replicate this effect. I have to say, the creator of this technique used a rather ingenious method to extract more power from a cultivator than should be usually possible.
Though the drawbacks of this technique are rather obvious. You need a strong body to be able to use this technique without any injury.” Xukong explained.
Lin Mu intently listed to Senior Xukong's explanation and absorbed all of it. He started contemplating on it and was made to snap out of his thoughts by Senior Xukong when he spoke up.
”Can you bring out the booklet of the Boulder collapsing fist for me to see?” Xukong asked.
”Ah yes, Senior.” Lin Mu hurriedly replied before withdrawing the book from the ring.
Xukong saw the tattered state of the booklet and then read the contents. His attention was pulled towards the part where it said that there were no minimum requirements needed for one to practice the technique.
