Chapter 201 - Personal Disciple?
Chapter 201: Personal Disciple?
Chu Nan immediately determined that this palm strike was extremely similar to the palm technique Xue Zhengming had used earlier. It should be the same move as the Flowing Cloud Indefinite Palm.
However, even if it was the same palm technique, it was completely different from Xue Zhengming using it.
When Xue Zhengming used this palm earlier, although it was also flickering, Chu Nan could easily determine the truth and casually retaliate.
Now that Xue Changhao used this palm strike, every palm shadow seemed to be real and was filled with an illusory feeling. Even if Chu Nan could rely on his powerful data ability to sense the relevant data of every palm shadow, he could not determine where Xue Changhao would ultimately land his palm.
If it was an official battle, other than retreating, Chu Nan had no other way to deal with this palm strike. However, since Xue Changhao was clearly sparring and guiding him, Chu Nan gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and threw a punch.
Slap!
Chu Nan’s punch missed. Thousands of palm shadows gathered and happened to slap the joint of his right arm, pushing it to the side. Immediately, the door opened, revealing a large gap in his chest. Then, Xue Changhao slapped again.
Chu Nan’s reaction was also abnormally fast. At the critical moment, he forcefully twisted his body to the right and dodged Xue Changhao’s palm.
However, when he wanted to kick back, Xue Changhao flipped his wrist and slapped him again.
Chu Nan could only fall back and slap the ground with his right palm. Then, he used the recoil to retreat.
Xue Changhao retracted his palm and did not pursue. Instead, he looked at Chu Nan who stood up in the distance in surprise.
Before this, he already knew that Chu Nan seemed to have an extremely powerful talent in external martial arts. Even if his external martial arts was rough and low-level, he was not at a disadvantage when facing several opponents stronger than him in the West Cloud Planet’s martial arts competition.
After watching his battle with a few disciples in the monitoring room, Xue Changhao was even more certain of this.
This kid seemed to be able to determine his opponent’s actions in advance and always make the most correct response at the first moment.
This made it very difficult for him to be completely at a disadvantage. It was almost impossible to rely on external martial techniques to suppress or even defeat him.
The reason why Xue Changhao could hit the vital part of Chu Nan’s chest was only because he was a little rash.
After suffering that loss, it was very difficult for Xue Changhao to focus on Chu Nan’s vital points again.
Of course, this did not affect the confidence of Xue Changhao, a Heaven Control expert. After Chu Nan stood still, he slapped again.
Slap!
Slap!
Slap!
…
In the center of the venue, Xue Changhao slapped out with his palm. Countless flickering palm shadows enveloped Chu Nan, and every palm forced him to barely dodge in an extremely sorry state. There were many times when he could not completely dodge and could only raise his hand to resist. In the end, he was even more miserable.
No matter how one looked at it, he was at a complete disadvantage. Not to mention counterattacking, even his ability to parry had completely disappeared.
However, regardless of whether it was the students of the martial arts hall or Xue Zhengming, their expressions were ugly. They did not show any joy. Instead, their eyes were filled with shock and surprise.
The person fighting Chu Nan now was the Xue family’s master, the Heaven Control expert, Xue Changhao!
Even if they had agreed in advance not to use their Internal Breath, as a Heaven Control expert, Xue Changhao should have easily dealt with an initial-stage Internal Breath expert like Chu Nan with the Flowing Cloud Indefinite Palm.
However, other than being struck in the chest at the beginning, although Chu Nan was extremely miserable next, he was not struck in his vital points by Xue Changhao once!
Facing such terrifying pressure from a Heaven Control Realm expert, it was unbelievable that Chu Nan could last until now!
Slap!
Xue Changhao slapped out again but was blocked by Chu Nan’s arms.
Seeing that Chu Nan was forced back by this palm strike, Xue Changhao lowered his hands and stopped attacking.
“Alright, Chu Nan, I’ve already used up the first set of the Flowing Cloud Indefinite Palm Technique’s four stances and 63 moves. Do you think it’s any different from the palm technique Zheng Ming used just now?” Xue Changhao asked.
Chu Nan was stunned. He put down his hands and thought for a moment before answering, “Senior Xue, I just said that the Flowing Cloud Indefinite Palm used by Xue Zhengming is too rigid and lacks variations. You’ve done very well in this aspect. Every palm seems to contain endless variations, causing me to be at a loss as to how to deal with it the most appropriate way. If we use flowing clouds as an analogy, then Xue Zhengming’s Flowing Cloud Indefinite Palm is only a still cloud that looks ethereal and extremely realistic on the surface but is actually stiff and boring. Your palm technique is a cloud that truly floats in the sky. It’s difficult to estimate.”
Xue Changhao nodded, his expression filled with undisguised praise.
“That’s right. Although you haven’t learned the Flowing Cloud Indefinite Palm, you’ve seen through the essence of it with a single sentence. That is the intent of the Flowing Cloud Indefinite Palm. If I let you cultivate it for two years, you’ll definitely be much stronger than Zhengming now.”
At this point, Xue Changhao glanced at Xue Zhengming not far away and sneered.
Xue Zhengming hurriedly shrunk his head and took a step back.
Xue Changhao turned to look at Chu Nan and waved at him.
“Come with me.”
After saying that, he strode out of the martial arts arena.
Chu Nan was stunned for a moment before he hesitated for a moment and followed.
The martial arts students beside him made way and used surprised gazes to watch Chu Nan follow behind Xue Changhao. Soon, he disappeared from everyone’s sight.
Five minutes later, Chu Nan followed Xue Changhao into an inconspicuous house in the martial arts hall.
Xue Changhao casually chose a chair and sat down. Then, he pointed opposite and gestured for Chu Nan to sit.
After Chu Nan sat down hesitantly, Xue Changhao had an undisguised praise on his face. He glanced at Chu Nan twice before nodding with a smile.
“Speaking of which, I should actually apologize to you.”
Chu Nan immediately stood up and shook his head.
“I don’t dare.”
After saying that, he looked at Xue Changhao in confusion.
Why was this Xue family’s master’s attitude towards him today completely different from the previous banquet?
When he recalled that the Flowing Cloud Martial Arts Hall had not imposed any obstruction on him in the initial assessment, Chu Nan vaguely guessed something.
“There’s no need to say that.” Xue Changhao raised his hand and pressed it down, gesturing for Chu Nan to sit down again. “As a senior on the Purple Cloud Planet, I should have thought of a way to help you more. How could I vent my anger on you because of some unrelated trivial matters? Now that I think about it, I was too narrow-minded.”
“About this… Senior, I really don’t know how to react…” Chu Nan smiled bitterly.
“I wonder how you should react?” Xue Changhao seemed to be amused by Chu Nan’s words. He smiled and waved his hand before continuing, “Forget it, let the past be the past. Chu Nan, let me ask you a question.”
“Senior, please speak.”
“I want to take you in as my personal disciple now. What do you think?”
