Chapter 20 The completion of skin refining!
"Intention precedes movement, strength flows with lightness and agility, fingers leave no trace, cutting through the wind and piercing the clouds..."
Lu Ming stood in the courtyard, recalling the incantation of the Cloud Piercing Finger.
The characteristic of this second-rate finger technique is its speed, as fast as lightning.
Therefore, the attacking gesture of the Cloud Piercing Finger is not two fingers, but a single finger, using only the most flexible index finger to attack!
To practice speed, you must first practice accuracy.
Following the cultivation method of the Cloud Piercing Finger, Lu Ming hung a leaf on the arm of a wooden puppet and fixed a piece of white paper one finger's distance behind the leaf.
What he had to do was to poke through the leaves with his finger without damaging the white paper.
A finger's distance is just the beginning. To truly master it, you must make sure the leaf and the white paper are pressed tightly together, so that when you point your finger out, the leaf breaks while the white paper remains intact.
In terms of difficulty of learning, although the Cloud Piercing Finger is a second-rate finger technique, it is more difficult than the first-rate lightness skill, the Cloud-Stepping Technique.
Lu Ming ignored the difficulty; what he valued was the extra experience gained from the Cloud Piercing Finger.
After arranging the leaves and white paper, he immediately pointed out with one finger!
*Pfft! Sizzle!*
The leaves broke, and the white paper tore.
Lu Ming shook his head slightly. His control was indeed too poor. If he did not practice diligently, he might not be able to hit the black acupoint even if he saw it when he encountered a strong enemy in the future.
Thinking of this, he practiced even more diligently, rearranging the leaves and white paper, and continued to point out with one finger!
This time he was much more serious, putting all his effort into the training. After each strike, he would rest for a while to recover his energy before continuing.
The supernatural power panel finally reacted.
[Evolving acupoint supernatural power (206/10000)...]
206?
Lu Ming's eyes lit up. Sure enough!
Before he started practicing, he glanced at his acupoint supernatural ability experience. It was originally 202, but now that he was practicing the Cloud Piercing Finger, it reached 206, directly increasing by 4 experience points.
Originally, he could only gain 2 experience points per practice session.
This shows that the extra experience gained from second-rate martial arts is indeed a reasonable 2 points.
Although the Cloud Piercing Finger technique is relatively difficult to master, as long as he gives it his all, he can gain experience with each finger strike.
In the same amount of training time, if you practice finger techniques, you will gain more experience in finger techniques than you will gain in leg techniques if you practice light body skills.
Currently, the experience required for both acupoint and leg techniques to evolve into the next technique is 10000 points.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Ming immediately decided to develop the next acupoint supernatural power.
Acupoint supernatural powers emphasize killing and combat, and focus on momentum. If used well, it can easily allow one to kill enemies of higher levels.
Developing the third acupoint supernatural power will greatly enhance his combat strength. With the situation in Chiyun County currently turbulent, he needs to prepare more trump cards.
As for leg techniques, with Divine Speed and Earth Splitting, that's enough for now.
Having made up his mind, he continued to practice the Cloud Piercing Finger.
Pfft! Pfft!
The sound of leaves and white paper being pierced could be heard from time to time in the courtyard.
[Evolving acupoint supernatural power (210/10000)...]
[Evolving acupoint supernatural power (214/10000)...]
[It's evolving...]
[Evolving acupoint supernatural power (242/10000)...]
An hour later, Lu Ming felt unbearable pain in his index fingers and finally stopped trembling, breathing slightly heavily.
It's time for today.
However, despite being extremely exhausted, he was quite excited as he watched his acupoint experience grow rapidly.
I gained a full 50 experience points in one hour.
So, if you cultivate for six hours a day, that's 300 points.
In just thirty-three days, he will be able to develop the third acupoint supernatural power.
This result made Lu Ming secretly breathe a sigh of relief. Compared to the more than six months he had previously calculated, it had now been reduced to about a month, which was a significant reduction in time.
A month later, with almost a month left until the big exam, there was still plenty of time to put my skills to good use.
"Bang bang~" Only then did the sound of a clapper come from the kitchen.
Lunch is served!
Lu Ming looked up and saw that it was already night. He shook his head, wondering what the cooks from the Martial Arts Department were up to today, which had caused an hour's delay.
He leisurely went out and ate at the communal kitchen.
Seeing that Wei Jinlin was also eating with a stern face, and seemed somewhat displeased, she immediately chose a seat some distance away from him, without greeting him, and quietly returned to her courtyard after finishing her meal.
Over the next few days, Lu Ming diligently practiced every day, spending a full six hours each time, and his acupoint experience increased rapidly.
[Evolving acupoint supernatural power (2042/10000)...]
Finally, on the sixth day, Lu Ming pointed out his last finger, and suddenly felt his blood and qi boiling and his scalp tingling.
Soon, the blood and qi returned to normal.
Lu Ming looked radiant. He clenched his fist and felt light and powerful all over. He couldn't help but smile and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The scalp is also connected to the flow of qi and blood, and the skin-refining process is complete!
Fortunately, today is only the sixth day, and we have broken through within the seven-day time limit set by Wei Jinlin.
If he had used healing medicine instead, he definitely wouldn't have been able to complete this breakthrough.
Only a powerful cultivation elixir like Ganlin San would work.
After the breakthrough, Lu Ming fully experienced the changes within himself and was secretly delighted.
Now he has a stronger ability to withstand the inertia of the Divine Speed, and as for the Earth Splitting Divine Power, his control over the earth has also increased from three zhang in radius to five zhang, greatly increasing the range!
The stronger his martial arts cultivation becomes, the more powerful his supernatural abilities will be.
He also made a double breakthrough in martial arts, which gave Lu Ming a sense of satisfaction.
It's getting late today, and he plans to tell Wei Jinlin about this tomorrow so that he can learn a new martial art, the second-rate palm technique, Nine Palaces Palm!
Lu Ming secretly looked forward to it.
To everyone's surprise, Wei Jinlin didn't come the next day, but a long-lost friend knocked on his door.
"Senior Sister Li?" The person standing at the door was none other than Li Youning.
Lu Ming welcomed Li Youning into the living room and said with a smile:
"My place is simple; I can only offer you water, Senior Sister. What brings you here, Senior Sister? How is the Li Family Bank doing?"
Li Youning took a deep breath and said, "Junior Brother Lu, we need to prepare to move."
Lu Ming was taken aback. "Move away?"
Li Youning's expression was solemn as he slowly nodded and said:
"The entire clan moved to Qingning Prefecture City, where the Li family has some connections and can still find a place to live. As for the Li family's money shop in the city, it is now closed."
Upon hearing this, Lu Ming was startled.
Unexpectedly, even though the Li family won the arena battle, they still ended up like this.
Although he had anticipated that the Li family would not have a good end, he did not expect it to come to the point of the entire clan having to relocate.
All of this is because of Zhou Zhen, the abandoned disciple of Lingyun Sect!
Lingyun Sect was just a third-rate sect, and Zhou Zhen was just a discarded disciple.
Even so, his arrival alone put immense pressure on the Li family, forcing them to seek alternative solutions.
The Li family has been in business for many years and must have some connections in the county. It's very likely that no one dares to help them because their competitor is Zhou Town.
Lu Ming thought to himself that he must try his best to rank high in the upcoming major examination and enter a sect in the future.
Otherwise, even a large family like the Li family would have no dignity in front of the sect's disciples.
Suddenly, a question occurred to him, and he asked:
"The whole clan is moving, so what about Senior Sister Li? Isn't she still serving her military service?"
