Chapter 120: Finger of God

  Tang Xiao Sheng took the white pants with the "Dian Zhi Shen Tong" heart mantra written on it and quickly walked out of the cave, because the light in the cave was not very good, making it difficult to read. Moreover, Mei Chao Feng was still asleep, and he didn't want to disturb her either.

  Upon arriving at the cave entrance, he hastily unfolded his white pants and began to read the incantation of "Dian Zhi Shen Tong" on it. As for this set of martial arts, he was naturally not unfamiliar with it; accurately speaking, it should be said that it was as familiar as thunder in his ears.

  "Divine Flick" is a unique martial art created by Huang Yaoshi, the Eastern Heretic. It's said to be unparalleled and unmatched in the world, with subtle and mysterious techniques that allow one's finger strength to connect with the divine. Alongside Hong Qigong's "Dragon-Subduing Eighteen Palms", Ouyang Feng's "Toad Skill" and Yideng's "One Yang Finger", it is considered a supreme technique. How could Tang Xiaosheng not be tempted by such an incredible martial art?

  He also knew that the world's top martial arts were not easy to learn, and his own experience in practicing martial arts was a perfect illustration of this.

  At first, he learned the "Reversal of Meridians Method" and practiced handstands every day, getting dizzy and swollen-headed all over; afterwards, to cultivate internal strength, not only did he take cold showers every day, but also in the depths of winter, he would blow a fan without covering himself with a quilt; this year, to cultivate the "Jade Maiden Heart Classic", every time he practiced, his body would become weak and faint. In short, to master an extraordinary martial art, one must always pay a price.

  However, for the "Dian Zhi Shen Tong" martial art, Tang Xiao Sheng felt that he should be able to learn it relatively easily because he thought his innate talent in "Dian Zhi" was quite high. When he was a kid, when playing marbles with the neighbor's kids, he almost always won. In the whole village, his marble-shooting skills were top-notch and could be said to be unbeatable.

  Of course, compared to playing marbles, "Dian Jing Shen Tong" is much more difficult. Not to mention other things, just the incantation of this martial art looks like a lot of trouble, because it's all in classical Chinese.

  To talk about Tang Xiaosheng's classical Chinese foundation, he originally didn't have much of a foundation. In the past when he was in school, Classical Chinese class was always his weak point, and whenever he saw words like "zhi hu zhe ye" he would feel dizzy.

  In recent years, he has filmed many costume dramas and also made up for some knowledge of ancient Chinese with a sense of purpose. Compared to when he was in school, he has made significant progress.

  However, his ancient Chinese truly made rapid progress after learning martial arts with Little Dragon Girl. When learning martial arts from Little Dragon Girl, she would patiently explain the martial arts principles to him each time, whether it was the "Reversal of Meridians Method", the "Nine Yin True Classics" or later the "Jade Maiden Heart Scripture". She would analyze the principles and mnemonic phrases word by word and sentence by sentence for Tang Xiaosheng.

  It was under the guidance of Little Dragon Girl that Tang Xiaosheng not only made a qualitative leap in his ancient Chinese language skills, but also gained some insights into the translation techniques of heart formulas and incantations, and had a good grasp of some professional terms in martial arts.

  With this foundation, when Tang Xiaosheng looked at the "Dian Zhi Shen Tong" mantra written on his pants now, he didn't find it too obscure and difficult to understand. After all, no matter how vast and profound "Dian Zhi Shen Tong" was, it wasn't as vast and profound as "Jiu Yin Zhen Jing".

  After carefully reading the incantation of "Dian Zhi Shen Tong" from beginning to end three times, Tang Xiaosheng had already understood about 50-60% of its cultivation principles. The reason he only understood 50-60% was because there were a few rare characters in the incantation that he didn't quite understand what they meant. In order to clarify the meaning of these rare characters, he took out his mobile phone and used the internet function to search for them on Baidu. After about an hour of research, he had already grasped 60-70% of the cultivation principles of "Dian Zhi Shen Tong".

  He discovered that the subtlety of "Dian Zhi Shen Tong" lies in its clever use of internal strength, which can gather all the inner energy of the body at one finger, accumulate momentum at the fingertips, and then burst out with amazing energy through the power of the fingers. This is somewhat similar to "Yi Yang Zhi".

  It is precisely because "Dian Zhi Shen Tong" can condense internal energy between the fingers, focusing on one point, its power is not inferior to "Xiang Long Shi Ba Zhang" and "Yan Ran Xiao Hun Zhang".

  The essence of the "Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms" lies in the use of internal force and explosive power to gain victory; the ferocity of the "Somber Soul Destroying Palm" lies in its inner strength. In comparison, the "Divine Finger Technique" is even more ingenious and clever. From a practical perspective, it will be more economical and beneficial because its essence is the efficient use of internal force.

  Therefore, the key to mastering "Dian Zhi Shen Tong" lies in controlling one's internal energy, requiring the ability to gather and disperse it at will.

  At this point, Tang Xiaosheng has a considerable advantage.

  Because he not only practiced the "Reversal of Meridians Technique", but also learned part of the heart method of the "Nine Yin Manual". As everyone knows, the "Reversal of Meridians Technique" is a martial art created by Western Venom Ouyang Feng after practicing the "Nine Yin Manual" in reverse. Its operating principle is exactly opposite to that of the "Nine Yin Manual".

  Tang Xiaosheng simultaneously cultivated the "Reversal of Meridians Technique" and the "Nine Yin Scriptures". Whether practicing normally or in reverse, he had learned both, and his control techniques for internal energy were a notch higher than those of ordinary martial artists.

  Of course, at the same time cultivating two opposing martial arts mental methods, people are extremely likely to go crazy and lose control. If not controlled properly, it may have the opposite effect. However, Tang Xiaosheng will not encounter such a problem because he has also studied the "Jade Maiden Heart Scripture".

  "The Jade Maiden Heart Manual" is an extremely difficult martial art to practice, requiring two people to cultivate it simultaneously. This is because it has very high requirements for the cultivator's self-control ability. If one masters "The Jade Maiden Heart Manual", their internal energy control ability will be twice that of ordinary people.

  As a result, the three martial arts mental methods that Tang Xiaosheng learned simultaneously not only did not conflict with each other, but instead promoted and complemented each other, making his skill in using internal force several levels higher than ordinary people.

  With this foundation, he now learns "Dian Zhi Shen Tong" much more easily. After understanding the basic principles of "Dian Zhi Shen Tong", he decides to try practicing it.

  Tang Xiaosheng then concentrated his mind, secretly mobilizing his internal energy. A warm current surged in the Dan Tian area, and as soon as he had an idea, he followed the "Dian Zhi Shen Tong" heart method and mouth formula. The warm current flowed along his arm, leading to the tip of his right hand's middle finger.

  The internal force at the fingertips is increasingly concentrated, endless and continuous. At the same time, the middle finger begins to slowly bend inward, becoming more and more curved, like a bullet being cocked, gradually pressing under the thumb.

  Before long, Tang Xiaosheng's right index finger began to tremble slightly, and more and more internal force gathered at the fingertips, flowing back and forth between the thumb and middle finger, surging violently, accumulating continuously, and waiting for release!

  In another moment, the trembling of his right finger became more and more pronounced, with an increasingly large amount of internal force being forcibly compressed between his two fingers, almost to the point of bursting his fingertips, and on the verge of losing control!

  Tang Xiaosheng's teeth clenched tightly, his mind stirred, his thumb relaxed, and his middle finger popped out!

  Hmph!

  A soft sound, a fine and powerful force shot out!

  Upon hearing the strange noise, Tang Xiaosheng's face revealed a joyful expression, as this meant that his "Finger Gun Divine Ability" had finally entered the novice stage. However, he had just used two whole minutes to execute this one move of "Finger Gun Divine Ability", from circulating his internal energy to firing it out, and the time was obviously too long. This was mainly because he still felt a bit unfamiliar with controlling the internal energy within "Finger Gun Divine Ability", and needed more practice.

  Without any hesitation, he immediately started to mobilize his internal energy again and continued to cultivate. In the next three hours, he repeated the finger technique of "Dian Zhi Shen Tong" hundreds of times, and the time it took for him to accumulate energy to pop his fingers also became shorter and shorter, from two minutes, one and a half minutes, one minute, half a minute, ten seconds...

  When practiced to the third hundred times, I can also shoot out finger strength within five seconds.

  Now that Tang Xiaosheng had entered the gate of "Dian Zhi Shen Tong", he began to try using this skill to shoot pebbles. He picked up a small stone about the size of a soybean from the ground, placed it on his fingertips, stretched out his finger and shot it out!

  Bang!!!

  A sharp, ear-piercing sound of air being torn apart, a stone shot out rapidly and hit the trunk of a pine tree ten meters away.

  After shooting, Tang Xiaosheng ran over quickly and found that the stone had been embedded in the trunk of the tree, with a depth of about two centimeters. If this force were to be applied to the human body, it should be able to cause skin lacerations and flesh wounds.

  Suddenly, he learned another unparalleled martial art. Tang Xiaosheng was overjoyed in his heart. Compared to the previous "Dian Xue Shou", the attack of "Tan Zhi Shen Tong" is more covert, its function is equivalent to a handgun, and it's very convenient to use it for sneak attacks.

  However, he also knew that his "Divine Flicking Finger" was only just beginning. Because Mei Chaofeng's internal strength was far inferior to his, yet she could use the "Divine Flicking Finger" to cut off the steel wire of the hanging coffin, this kind of power compared to him, was actually much stronger.

  "It seems like I still need more practice in the future."

  Tang Xiaosheng thought to himself, looked up at the sky and found that it was already sunset, the sky would soon darken. He then took the pants with the blood book and returned to the cave, wanting to see if Mei Chao Feng had woken up.
