C416 The Attitude of the Zhuge Family 1
Que De said, "I don't dare to give you any pointers, so I'll just talk about the characteristics of the Eight Trigrams Palm. Actually, the Eight Trigrams Palm's eight steps in a circle is very flexible with a single exchange palm as its basic palm force. The movements are not fixed, and the movements of those who practice it are different as well. The Eight Trigrams Palm emphasizes the agility of the movement skill. The movement characteristics include: One Walk, Two Vision, Three Meditation, and Four Flipping. "Miss Zhuge, when you are in contact with others, pay attention to using the source energy circulation method of 'walking on a pile' and 'wading in mud' as the basic foundation, changing the movement form from twisting to turning over and over, using the change of the palm technique as the main attacking method. Under these three prerequisites, practice your body and mind together in order to achieve the swift movement like dragon swimming in the air and the twisting and turning away from the palm technique – the illusionary transformation is endless."
"The Eight Trigrams Palm is about walking. The steps are about lifting, stepping, swinging, and buckling. It rotates left and right without stopping. Requirement like floating flag, Qi like the clouds, rolling and struggling, circular support, rigid and soft, strange and positive. A skilled martial artist was like a swimming dragon. One could not see the end of a person's head when one looked at him; one could not see his shadow when one moved swiftly like the wind. One could often feel dizzy when one followed one's example. When dealing with an enemy, one could evade the attack of the opponent, and avoid the attack of the opponent's shoulder or hand. All of these could be seen as the intention of the opponent's action. The most important thing was to not be too hasty and take things step by step. Take this Hidden Leaf Flower for example. It was normal to practice for three to five months and feel sluggish and uncomfortable. Even more so, it was the result of just a few days of practice. The Eight Trigram Palm contained boundless mysteries. Even if one spent several years concentrating on practicing a move, they would still have extraordinary achievements. A state of mind where one was eager to be quick on the road to success was a taboo. I saw this little brother just now, that 'Pushing the window and looking at the moon' was completely practiced. Fortunately, he just started it, and if it goes on for too long, it will easily cause the source energy to reverse.
After talking so much, Que De also felt thirsty. He picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip. In fact, the majority of what Que De said was what he said when Shen Lang taught him the Eight Trigrams Palm. Until now, Que De had only barely understood it, and it was just that he had memorized it. As for his comprehension, Que De didn't have much.
Shen Lang had also said before, that people who drank Mortal World had a huge difference in physique. It would be much more difficult for people with Mortal World to practice the fist techniques of the Three Layers Heaven World, and if one didn't have Shen Lang, who was proficient in all kinds of fist techniques, to personally guide them, their progress would be very slow.
As for Que De, he was able to quickly complete the Eight Trigrams Palm due to his heaven-defying physique. Even though his mind didn't fully comprehend it, his body had already thoroughly comprehended it. Learning the fist technique was simply impossible.
"Brother Que's explanation is really detailed, we have learnt it from him." A hint of admiration flashed across Zhuge Jian's eyes. In the past few days, aside from dealing with important family matters, he had been studying the Eight Trigrams Palm without leaving his house.
At the beginning, Zhuge Jian also wanted to practice the entire Eight Trigrams Palm a few times. As he practiced, he discovered that he often forgot his previous moves after learning them. Thus, Zhuge Jian ignored the other moves and just stared at the green dragon claw, practicing repeatedly. Basically, he had to practice it thousands of times every day. During this repetitive practice, Zhuge Jian had more and more experience about this move, and felt more and more the mysteries of the Eight Trigrams Palm. What caused Zhuge Jian to be even more shocked was that the Source Power Level that had remained unchanged for many years, had unintentionally broken through the fifth level of the True Rank!
Zhuge Jian shared his insights with the other higher-ups of the family who were also contacting the Eight Trigrams Palm, as well as with Zhuge Zhixi and seven to eight talented juniors. Especially towards these youngsters, Zhuge Jian repeatedly reminded them to also focus on one move and not to covet the chance to become fat in one bite.
As a result, when he saw Zhuge Zhixi and Zhu Geqing yesterday, Zhuge Jian realized that these guys didn't listen to him at all. Zhuge Jian wanted to teach them a little bit, but he was only barely able to understand a single move of the Green Dragon's Claw.
Unexpectedly, after Zhuge Jian had been worrying for the whole night, Que De called. On the phone, Que De had actually explained the situation, but had made some modifications.
In order to repay Grandma Xue, he planned to help Grandma Xue control the Sikong Family Clan, and asked her if she was willing to speak out and support Grandma Xue. In return, the Sikong Family Clan, led by Grandma Xue, was willing to ally with Zhuge Family. At the same time, in order to show his sincerity, Que De would bestow upon Zhuge Family the Eight Trigrams Blade Technique which had the same origin as the Eight Trigrams Palm.
Although Zhuge Jian's Source Power Level was not high, his connections were very wide and he had extremely strong management ability. His position in the Zhuge family could be counted on one hand. Before Que De had even finished speaking, Zhuge Jian had already quickly determined the role Zhuge Family played in this matter as well as the benefits it would bring.
Zhuge Jian had heard of Grandma Xue's reputation before, and he even heard from Que De that Grandma Xue recently broke through into the Paleo Rank. Merely this one rule was already enough for Zhuge Family to win her over. As for helping Grandma Xue to ascend to the position of Patriarch, it was indeed a very difficult task. Zhuge Family was an outsider, if they interfered too much, Yao Family and Jiang Clan were equivalent to first-rate great clans' forces, they would definitely stand out to pick a fight, using all means at their disposal to push the Zhuge Family to the heart of the struggle. If they didn't interfere enough, it wouldn't be of any use. This kind of price was much more expensive than recruiting a Paleo Rank Ranker to join their own family, but it was not big enough for Zhuge Family to take this risk. As for forming an alliance with the Sikong Family, there were many third-rate families who were all eager to ally with them. The biggest beneficiary from this alliance was still the Sikong Family Clan. According to the comparison of benefits between the two sides, Zhuge Jian was also very hesitant.
The reason why Zhuge Jian was still hesitant was because he and Zhuge Family owed Que De a favor. Moreover, Que De's origin was mysterious. Although the information they found said that Que De was just a wanderer from a remote place in Southbright City, but with such high talent, and to be able to gift a top grade Source Strike to someone, his background would definitely not be as simple as what was stated in the information. For such a person, the strength and resources displayed would already be of sufficient value and would be worth trying to rope in his Zhuge Family. Zhuge Jian could also vaguely see that Zhuge Zhixi was a little interested in Que De and wanted to play matchmaker with the two young people.
If it were not for these two reasons, Zhuge Jian would not even consider helping Grandma Xue control the Sikong Family Clan.
