Even from afar, the faces of the people in the great hall twitched from the strong winds generated by the two's inner strengths. When the two forces collided, even strong people like Ouyang Feng and Priest Hundred Damages were forced to take half a step back.
Song QingShu and Xiao Feng both took a few steps back after their palms collided. Song QingShu's body swayed, and a trace of blood seeped out from the corner of Xiao Feng's mouth. The Mongolians were all shocked. They did not expect that Xiao Feng, who was invincible in terms of palm strength, would actually be at a disadvantage.
"Awesome!" Xiao Feng didn't care at all. He looked at Song Qingshu excitedly, "I didn't expect you to not only know Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, but also know Three Layered Dragon Waves like me."
Song Qingshu smiled awkwardly. Xiao Feng's Three Layered Dragon Waves was created by himself. Song Qingshu, on the other hand, had read the original work and understood the theory behind Xiao Feng's Three Layered Dragon Waves, so he copied it.
Xiao Feng's inner strength was obviously not as good as his, but their palms were basically equal. The key was that Xiao Feng used this move more skillfully than him.
The reason why Song Qingshu gave up his sword and used Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms to fight Xiao Feng was not because he was hot-headed, but because he had his own considerations.
Not long after he entered this world, Song QingShu understood that the same martial art could be used differently by different people. The reason for this was not only the difference in power, but also the compatibility between the user's personality and the martial art. The power of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms used by a bold and simple person would definitely be much greater than that of a crafty person like Huang Rong.
Song Qingshu thought that his personality was not the same as people like Xiao Feng and Guo Jing, so he always knew that he couldn't use Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms to their level.
But when Song Qingshu's realm became higher and higher, he realized that this might not be the case.
All martial arts in the world had the same goal. Whether it was sword arts or palm arts, the theory should be the same. If he could achieve great success in his swordsmanship, why couldn't he achieve great success in his palm technique? He could reach the legendary swordless realm like Dugu Qiubai.
When the user's personality was compatible with the martial art, they could bring out the martial art's power to the maximum, but the user might not know why there was such an effect.
Just the words' martial art compatibility 'could not be explained. Song Qingshu, who came from the future, had been baptized by a strict scientific system, so he subconsciously wanted to find the essence through phenomena.
Song Qingshu believed that as long as he could figure out the essence, even if his personality and martial arts were not compatible, he could still maximize the power of his martial arts.
This fight with Xiao Feng was the best opportunity. Song Qingshu basically knew all the martial arts that Xiao Feng knew. Song Qingshu wanted to see why Xiao Feng's might was so much stronger than his when he used the same type of martial arts.
After the Triple Layered Waves of the Subduing Dragon, Song Qingshu felt that he had vaguely grasped something, but he couldn't quite grasp it. For a moment, he was stunned.
When Ouyang Feng, who was at the side, saw this "Ximen Chui Xue" use the Triple Layered Dragon Waves, how could he not understand his true identity? Back then on Divine Dragon Island, the two of them had fought many times. He had experienced this move of Song Qingshu more than once.
"So it's him. After not seeing him for a while, I didn't expect his martial arts to have advanced so much." Ouyang Feng couldn't help but sigh. If Ke Er had his talent in martial arts, how could he have been harmed by others.
On the other side, Zhao Min's complexion alternated between green and white. She had also seen Song Qingshu fight before. The Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms was the Beggar Clan's secret technique. In this world, only a few people had seen it, and those who could cultivate to this level could be counted on one's fingers.
"So it's Song Qingshu, that stinking brat." Thinking of the time when he brought her to Kaifeng to seek medical treatment, and all the things that happened on the way, Zhao Min suddenly became somewhat absent-minded.
Seeing that Song Qingshu was not only the strongest expert he had seen in his life, but also had such a high level of attainment in the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, Xiao Feng became excited. He let out a loud roar and pounced towards Song Qingshu, "Brother Ximen, take my move 'Leaping in the Abyss'."
Song Qingshu was very familiar with the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, so he naturally knew that the left palm attack would be a feint, and the right palm would suddenly pierce through the left palm and attack the lower abdomen. Xiao Feng had said this in advance, so obviously, he didn't have any intention of harming Song Qingshu.
Song Qingshu promptly raised his hand to block, but who would have thought that when he came into contact with the opponent's powerful right palm, he would feel the opponent's internal energy suddenly disappear. Instead, the feint attack of the opponent's left palm suddenly generated a strong wind.
Hastily raising his palm to meet the attack, Song Qingshu was immediately shaken to the point that his qi and blood churned. How rich was Xiao Feng's combat experience? He immediately covered his body and attacked. Although Song Qingshu had suffered a light injury, his mind was becoming more and more clear.
Just a moment ago, Xiao Feng hadn't deliberately deceived Song Qingshu, he had indeed used the exact same move 'Leaping in the Abyss', but when he felt the strength of Song Qingshu's palm, his combat instinct made him change the strength of his palm, and in an instant, he had injured Song Qingshu.
Although there was blood seeping out of the corner of Song Qingshu's mouth, his face was full of smile. He had finally understood the profoundness of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms. In terms of the moves of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, to put it nicely, it could be called simple and heavy, but to put it bluntly, it could be called mediocre.
When a quick-witted person like Huang Rong or Song Qingshu learned the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, they would subconsciously change the combination of the moves in order to achieve the subtlety of the moves. Thus, they could only learn the form, but it was very difficult to grasp the essence.
On the contrary, a simple person like Guo Jing could calmly follow the moves of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, and thus bring out the essence of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms.
This was because the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms never relied on the moves to win. The most important thing was the circulation and strength of each move. Although there were only eighteen moves, according to the difference in the strength of each move, the seemingly identical moves could have completely different effects. Thus, there were countless experts in the world, but those who could break through the eighteen moves were few and far between. In the end, they could only break through the moves, but they didn't pay attention to the differences in the strength of each move.
Before, Song Qingshu had always thought that the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms was the world's strongest and most ferocious martial art, but this was a complete misunderstanding. When the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms was cultivated to the highest level, it should be a combination of hardness and softness. The strength of the palms would fluctuate between strong and weak, swallowing and spitting. This was the only way to catch the enemy off guard.
For example, Xiao Feng's "Leaping in the Abyss" move just now was obviously a feint with his left palm, while his right palm was the real one. However, according to the actual situation, Xiao Feng swapped the fake and the real, and in an instant, he was able to injure an expert like Song Qingshu.
Song Qingshu speculated that when Xiao Feng used that move, he didn't use all the strength in his palms. He swallowed and spat, and could switch between the fake and the real at any time.
From this, it could be seen that in the world, there were probably only two people who could cultivate the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms to this level. Xiao Feng's talent was extraordinary, and his innate bloodline of the God of War allowed him to take the initiative to cross this threshold. Guo Jing, with the help of the Nine Yin Manual, also reached the realm of combining hardness and softness.
Hong Qigong's attainments in the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms had also reached the point of perfection. However, compared to these two people, he was still a bit lacking.
After Song Qingshu comprehended the profound principles, he felt that the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms was very smooth and easy. Gradually, he turned the situation around, and when he exchanged blows with Xiao Feng, he unexpectedly gradually gained the upper hand.
