Chapter 663: Maha Cakra Vajra vs Shaolin’s Current Greatest
Everyone could see that Jiumozhi was only in his forties. Even if he had mastered one supreme technique every year since birth, it would have taken him seventy-two years to achieve such mastery. Each of these seventy-two techniques was incredibly complex and profound—could he really have mastered multiple within a single year?
Only Song Qingshu understood the key to this.
Jiumozhi was merely using the No Phase Technique to execute the movements of the 72 Ultimate Techniques, imitating their form without capturing their essence. However, the No Phase Technique was immensely powerful, and Jiumozhi himself possessed deep internal Qi, so his execution was no less formidable than the original techniques.
The Shaolin monks, unable to grasp the truth, pondered in disbelief: “This man speaks such grand words—could he be mad?”
Xuan Sheng secretly sneered but maintained a respectful demeanor as he said, “The Maha Cakra Vajra claims to have mastered the 72 Ultimate Techniques. I would like to seek guidance on the Maha Finger, Prajna Palm, and Great Vajra Fist, among others.”
In Shaolin’s thousand-year history, only Xuan Cheng had ever mastered thirteen techniques, an unprecedented feat. Naturally, Xuan Sheng did not believe Jiumozhi’s claim. He assumed Jiumozhi was boasting and that, once they fought, his lies would be exposed.
Jiumozhi smiled. “I wouldn’t dare. Please, Master Xuan Sheng, enlighten me.”
He slightly shifted his stance. Suddenly, he raised his left palm while his right fist struck forward with a sharp whoosh. A bronze incense burner at Shaolin Temple’s front gate resonated with a loud “clang” and leaped into the air—this was the “Eastern Bell Resonates” move from the Great Vajra Fist. The punch did not make direct contact with the burner, yet it produced a sound. More astonishingly, though the punch was aimed forward, the burner jumped upward instead, proving the profound mastery behind it.
Without waiting for the burner to descend, Jiumozhi swiftly struck with his left palm in a motion identical to the “Subduing Heretics” move from the Prajna Palm. The burner spun in mid-air with a “snap”, and something fell from it, though the lingering incense ash obscured what it was.
