Oh yes, it is a technique that most will find hard to counter as well as a faster way to disable your opponent compared to silk and a very, very effective method of crowd control. Pity indeed.
You attempt to pick up Zhang Jue’s Jinshe Baojun Fiery Eye (金蛇暴君火眼, Fiery Eye of the Serpent Tyrant), an advanced technique that enhances perception and allows the practitioner to project qi from his eyes to immobilize or damage his opponent.
A few more questions, treave: Is Cao'er going to learn techniques from Xuezi now? Is Yifang going to learn the Jueshi Wugong Sword Song? Can we warn Shun about the risks of losing yourself in meditation, never to return, and advise him that it is best to practice it a lot in matches - not to improve your understand of the skill, but to keep your understanding grounded in practical applications and reduce the risk of losing yourself? Can we teach Wuxiang Qiankun to Yunzi?
treave, I noticed the description for Master Zhang's Fiery Eye of the Serpent Tyrant is different than the others
Esquilax, we've practiced Wuxiang Qiankun quite a bit since then. We learned a new application of synchronizing qi with Yunzi and we used it against Armaiti recently. If we focus our efforts on Wuxiang Qiankun we should make a lot of progress.
Huh, could we encourage Cao'er on this front? She seems to stand a lot to gain on this front.
We may as well teach it to Yunzi then. Girl's been falling behind a bit, and I'm curious how well we can synchronize if we both use Wuxiang Qiankun.
Esquilax, I dunno, given the additional practice we've gotten as of late, I think another rank boost might be possible if we fully devote ourselves to improving Wuxiang Qiankun. As for being unable to copy Zhang Jue's technique, those manuals offer neigong boosts galore and the next time we go to Shaolin we can learn one of the neigong techniques, so it's quite possible he will have lower neigong than us next time we meet.
As for helping us in the conference, I rather expect that we will just expose ourselves as the master of Wuxiang Qiankun there. Against the stronger sword masters, I think an improved Wuxiang Qiankun would be our best bet.
Elfberserker, you have my votes wrong- A, V, VIII
