Chapter 27 - 029: Discussing Wu and Economics
"You... how could you..." Dou Dajin stared at Jiang Dali in shock, never expecting a robber leader to know the secrets of Shaolin Ultimate Skill. In that moment, he felt the person before him was mysterious and powerful, perhaps even with another significant background, hence he dared not make any reckless moves.
"If the Chief is willing to accept defeat, we can drop the matter here. All our past grudges will be wiped clean. How about you stay for a day as agreed, and we sit down to discuss Martial Arts and share our experiences?"
Jiang Dali smiled calmly and graciously gestured an invitation.
In his previous life, he had been an expert in the Gang Qi Realm and had come into contact with many skilled players from Shaolin.
He was naturally well-acquainted with the seventy-two Shaolin Ultimate Skills.
Although he was also surprised that Dou Dajin mastered two ultimate skills, the moment he found out, it became clear that what had made Dou Dajin famous in the Martial World over the years were his Linked Steel Darts, fists, and single palm, not the two Shaolin skills.
It was likely because the opportunities to use these two skills were few and far between.
First, there was no need, and second, before mastering one of the skills to perfection, one should not practice them simultaneously.
It is known, the Demon-suppressing Palm, as one of the seventy-two Shaolin Ultimate Skills, was created by Master Yuan Yuan, the eighth abbot of Shaolin. When executed, the palm power is extremely gentle, barely there, leaning towards softness, thus it cannot be practiced simultaneously with hard skills like the Mahayana Finger due to the risk of diverging Inner Breath. If not well supervised, one could end up vomiting blood with severe, untreatable injuries.
Dou Dajin had studied under Zen Master Yuan Ye for twelve years and had initially only learned the twenty-four techniques of the Demon-suppressing Palm.
