186 Reversed Martial Arts (1/2)
”Y… You taught yourself??? Do you think I'm an idiot? Martial arts aren't groceries that you can just pick up from anywhere!!” Yang Nuo glared at Wang Yu and shouted.
The seven star steps was the core movement technique of the Yang clan.It had seven basic movements that could be used as the basis for twenty eight different patterns and one hundred and eight different transformations. All in all, when fully mastered there were several tens of thousands of moves that one could choose. Even the old monsters in her clan might not have completely mastered them all. To say that Wang Yu had learnt it by himself was a slap to the Yang clan's face.
”What's so hard about it? I just saw you using it a few times and I learnt it!” Wang Yu shrugged.
”Y… You...” Although Yang Nuo wanted to scream at Wang Yu from boasting, she realised that the moves that Wang Yu had just used really didn't exceed the ones that she had learnt…
”You really learnt it by watching me?” Yang Nuo gulped in terror.
”No shit! I know the punishment for stealing martial arts!” Wang Yu indignant;y replied.
”H… How is this possible...” Yang Nuo numbly muttered.
Yang Nuo had only learnt half of the full set of the seven star steps and it had taken her twenty years to reach the level of small success. Wang Yu, on the other hand, had only seen her use it a few times and he was already more adept at it than she was… The difference in talent was overwhelmingly obvious…
”It still counts as stealing our skills! You're lucky that I'm the only one that's seen it. If it had been anyone else I'm sure you know what will happen to you!” Yang Nuo scoffed.
”It's not like I wanted to use it… I just really don't have any other choice...” Wang Yu awkwardly scratched his head.
”Hmph! You're already married so if you don't want to die you better not use it again understand?”
”Che! Of course I know!” Wang Yu grumbled.
In the martial arts world the punishment for stealing martial arts was to be publicly shamed first and then have their cultivation wasted… Of course there were exceptions . If it was a man, he could marry into the family and the martial arts he stole would have been considered his dowry…
If Wang Yu had really wanted to obtain all of the seven star steps then he wouldn't have eloped with Mu Zi Xian in the first place!
In the time that the two of them had been arguing, Ming Du and Spring Halo had almost managed to force Kashmir into the mystic snare.
Because of Kashmir's high magic resistance, they weren't able to do much damage to him even with all their skills. However, that wasn't their intention.
Even though [Heart Manipulation] was powerful, there were still some skills that it wouldn't be able to divert.
Naturally, it couldn't possible redirect and AOE skills like [Poison Nova] or skills that targeted a fixed area on the ground like [DIstortion] or [Hell Inferno].
With Ming Du and Spring Halo's teamwork, they took turns to use their skills and managed to chain it long enough to redirect Kashmir where they wanted.
Kacha!
With a mechanical snap, the mystic snare activated and all the spell orbs around Kashmir dissipated at once.
”Ignorant sinners! Did you really think you'd be able to defeat me with something like that?” Kashmir coldly chuckled.
Ming Du had always prided himself in his high magic damage. However since his spells didn't have a light element to them, their damage against Kashmir was severely limited. Spring Halo's skills were all related to poison or dark elements so his damage was even worse off than Ming Du's.
