Chapter 9: Elephant Armor Technique
Han Li’s face faintly revealed a knowing smile as he thought back to this point.
He and Zhang Tie had naturally become close friends without words within the past half year due to their similar temperaments, in addition to their relatively similar origins.
Han Li slowly loosened his coiled legs and rubbed his calves with his hands, the long hours of meditation and practicing had made his legs a bit numb and his blood veins a bit less fluid.
After rubbing his legs a few more times and feeling that the sensation in his legs was completely restored, Han Li then stood up from the mat, habitually patting the dust that had fallen on his body a few times, and pushed open the door of the stone room to walk out.
Looking back at the stone room where he practiced, Han Li slightly laughed at himself.
This room is completely made of sturdy granite mountain walls hollowed out, the door is made of a block of large lapis lazuli, ordinary people want to rashly break in through the door, not to use the huge axe of the mountain chopping for a moment or three moments, never want to reach the goal.
Such a practicing static room, in addition to the sect master, elders and hall masters who have a certain status in the Seven Xuan Sect, even the core disciples of the Seven Extremities Hall can’t casually have it. This kind of stone room was specially built for those who practiced high level internal martial arts, preventing them from being disturbed by external factors during their practice and avoiding going off the deep end. I don’t know what method Dr. Mo used to force several elders to agree, and made such a stone room on the mountain wall within the Divine Hand Valley that ordinary disciples could not enjoy.
This stone room is completed, by the ink doctor designated by Han Li alone to use, this decision was made, so that Han Li are a little flattered: ink doctor to his own disciple is too good, from the day officially become his disciple, ink doctor every day to give himself to take a few different medicines, but also with some unknown herbs made into a soup, to give himself to soak the body. Although they do not recognize the name and function of these drugs, but see Dr. Mo whenever they use these drugs, usually expressionless face will show a hard to give up the look, they can understand one or two of the preciousness of these drugs.
Obviously these external forces are still very useful, Han Li’s cultivation speed obviously improved a lot, not long ago finally succeeded in punching the barrier, practiced the first layer of this set of nameless oral skills.
It was only when he was punching through that a few of his meridians almost ruptured, and he suffered a bit of internal injury that wasn’t too minor or heavy. Thanks to Dr. Mo’s excellent medical skills, the damaged meridians were not too serious, plus he was willing to use good medicine, so he didn’t suffer any after-effects.
After Han Li was injured, Dr. Mo’s behavior was even more tense than Han Li’s own, and he was restless throughout the entire healing process, only to let out a huge sigh of relief after seeing his injuries finally improve.
Dr. Mo’s performance, far beyond the ordinary teacher-disciple relationship should be, so that Han Li’s heart for no apparent reason, there are a few trace of apprehension feeling. If it weren’t for the fact that no one in the Han family, except for Uncle San, had ever stepped out of his family’s poor ravine, Han Li would have almost thought that Dr. Mo was a distant relative of his own family.
After Han Li walked out of the stone room, he stretched his back before slowly walking towards his own residence, after becoming official disciples, Han Li and Zhang Tie had already moved out of their original houses, and both of them possessed their own private huts respectively.
While passing by Zhang Tie’s house, Han Li casually glanced at it. Sure enough, Zhang Tie wasn’t in the house again, presumably going to the waterfall under Red Water Peak to practice again.
After becoming Dr. Mo’s official disciple, Dr. Mo still told Han Li to only practice this set of nameless passwords, without the slightest intention of teaching him any other kung fu. Perhaps to comfort him, Dr. Mo had no reservations about teaching him medical skills, and taught him by hand. To his medical questions, Dr. Mo also do have questions and answers, package his satisfaction, and allow him to casually turn over all the medical books in his house.
As for Zhang Tie, Dr. Mo taught him another set of practical kung fu according to his previous words.
The kung fu practiced by Zhang Tie was very peculiar, according to Dr. Mo, it was a rare martial art “Elephant Armor Kung Fu”, which according to him, very few people had seen in the Jianghu Lake, and many of them had never even heard of it, not to mention that some of them had practiced it.
Different from the common martial arts circulating in the jianghu, the general martial arts cultivation process is from easy to difficult, the more they are practiced to the higher level, the more difficult to practice, the effort spent is also doubled upward. This martial art is divided into nine layers, the first three layers are very good, and there is no difference between the difficulty level of ordinary martial arts. Starting at the fourth layer, it suddenly becomes difficult and involves a lot of unimaginable pain and suffering. Many people who practiced this skill could not endure such inhuman pain and stopped there, and their cultivation stagnated from then on. Not to mention the cultivation of the fifth and sixth layers, where the pain to be endured was several times that of the previous one.
However, as long as this work breaks through the sixth layer to reach the seventh layer, the future is all the way flat, unimpeded, just a few days a month, to be on time to undergo that kind of pain.
These are those who want to cultivate the power of the people deterred, which is also caused by this technique is now almost lost the main reason.
This martial art is so peculiar that its power is really amazing when it reaches the upper levels. It is said that the person who practiced to the ninth layer is like wearing a precious armor, can be invisible to swords and spears, water and fire, not to mention palm force, fist force, even the sword and knife is also difficult to seriously hurt him.
What is even more exciting is that after practicing this skill, ordinary people will gradually have the strength of the elephant, to the upper level will be infinite strength, can capture the wolf, torn tigers and leopards, powerful and incomparable.
This gong so that people who know him can be said to be afraid and love, in addition to the creation of this gong of the high man, no one will be able to practice this gong to the ninth layer. Legend has it that this person was born without pain perception, in order to create such a perverted martial arts, and will be the power to the extreme.
Although Dr. Mo originally told Zhang Tie the pros and cons of this skill, Zhang Tie had no personal experience of the harmful effects of this skill and did not take it seriously. He only coveted the power of “Elephant Armor Power” and agreed to practice it without hesitation, and this martial art seemed to be very suitable for him, in just two months, Zhang Tie practiced it to the peak of the first layer.
Recently, Zhang Tie, in order to break through the first layer of “Elephant Armor Power”, under the suggestion of Dr. Mo, he practiced under the tens of meters waterfall of Red Water Peak every afternoon, facing the huge impact of falling from the height.
According to Zhang Tie himself said, this method is quite effective, from the second layer is only separated by a thin layer of paper, as long as you put more effort to break through the bottleneck.
