Chapter 455: Chapter 230 Six Forms (1)
(Congratulations to the new Hall Master “Bu Sa!”)
Six Forms?
Mu Fan wanted to ask aloud, but to his shock, he found that under the control of Mohandas’s single palm, he couldn’t make any sound at all.
Other than his consciousness, it seemed that all his strength had been lost.
“Don’t resist, close your eyes, feel in your mind what you want to see, everything in the deepest part of your mind will be revealed.”
The aged voice came, inexplicably comforting.
Mu Fan involuntarily closed his eyes.
Mohandas looked at the boy kneeling on the ground under his palm, a hint of unexplained satisfaction flashing through his deep eyes.
Thus, that trace of ghostly green also gradually closed.
A deep and starry green energy surged out from his body, slowly traveling along his arm to the metal-covered palm, and then re-entering Mu Fan’s mind.
In Mu Fan’s mind, the scene before him was no longer that of Training Base 341.
The setting sun was like blood, the wind rustling through the old branches and leaves.
In the desolate wilderness before him stood a black figure.
Pure black, with only the limbs’ outlines indicating this was a human, no other details or colors could be discerned on the face or elsewhere.
It seemed as if pure blackness formed a human-shaped creature.
Suddenly, that familiar husky, aged voice sounded around, still in a faint tone, and Mu Fan immediately recognized it as the Fighter Instructor’s voice, but when he looked around, it was still the bleak scene.
Mohandas’s voice continued, indifferent to Mu Fan’s actions,
“Six Forms, derived from unarmed combat on the battlefield, are also body techniques that transcend physical limits, not for the faint-hearted or non-superhumans. The essence of the Six Forms is to explore the body’s limits and then to transcend those limits with the power of Ghost Energy! The Six Forms are not a fixed set of moves but six different combat methods, whose derivative skills need to be comprehended on their own.”
Ghost Energy?
Mu Fan heard this term again, now the black shadow seemed to be a way of inheritance from Instructor Mo, demonstrating and explaining, but not responsible for answering any puzzles.
Ghost Energy, it’s the energy of Dark Breath!
“The first form, Soft Body. 176 Ghost Energy pathways, using Ghost Energy to take over parts of the body’s skeleton and muscles, discarding one’s own strength, can achieve instant joint dislocation and muscle elasticity enhancement. It enhances perception and, based on the airflow of the opponent’s strike, dodges and counters uniquely flexible attacks.”
The black shadow trembled, instantly splitting into a second black shadow.
The two shadows stood five meters apart in attacking stances.
One moved forward, limbs casting countless illusions.
But then Mu Fan saw the struck shadow flutter like a light feather, and as the air current carried by the punch was about to hit, the arm suddenly twisted in a strangely boneless reversal.
The opponent’s fist just missed by two or three centimeters.
A leg sweep came, and the upper body suddenly softened to the side like putty, the foot brushing past the torso.
Then suddenly from the attacking side’s hand came a long staff smashing down fiercely.
This unexpected strike was aimed right at the elbow joint, and had the staff hit, it certainly would have broken it.
But the entire scene of their fight seemed engraved in his mind, Mu Fan not only clearly felt the energy flow in his elbow, but also the trembling of muscles and bones stretching spontaneously to both sides.
At that moment, the two bones of the arm — the humerus and the radius — separated on their own, leaving only the stretchy tendons, muscles, and a faint green energy holding everything together.
Bang!
It hit.
The staff indeed struck the joint, but there was no sound of breaking bones.
The separated joint area, right next to the muscle and skin, took the hit like a rubber target, instantly bouncing back.
Is that all?
“Derivative Skill, Soft Body: Reversing Chain Hammer!”
Like a soft whip, the arm suddenly shook, throwing out a cracking sound and then miraculously returned to normal, and even grasped the withdrawing weapon.
Using the withdrawing force of his opponent, Mu Fan’s arm acted as the pivot and incredibly his shoulder joint twisted 360 degrees, allowing his whole body to flip forwards like lightning with his legs spread apart, slamming down like two Reversing Chain Hammers.
The attacking shadow figure was struck directly in the head by two successive heavy chops and instantly burst into a cloud of black mist.
After the mist dissipated, the attacked shadow figure’s arms trembled, with popping sounds emitting from its body.
Mu Fan could clearly feel that his opponent had recovered to normal.
The sight had made his forehead tighten. How could he achieve such flexibility that his body almost turned into a colloidal state?
As if sensing Mu Fan’s thoughts, Mohandas’s voice echoed around him again.
“Soft Body, training movement, imprint.”
A pain flashed through his mind, and deep in his brain, he suddenly felt the presence of lifelike, autonomously moving circuit diagrams.
These were about the usage of Soft Body, with countless images appearing.
Mu Fan closed his eyes for a good ten minutes before opening them. The training movements were innumerable, but now all were imprinted in his mind.
The shadow figure didn’t give Mu Fan a moment of hesitation but instead divided into another shadow figure.
The same scene corresponded.
Mohandas’s voice sounded again, “Second form, Cutting. Ghost Energy circuit 212.”
“Utilize the strong perceptive ability of Ghost Energy to analyze the next attack trajectory during the opponent’s initial phase of movement and store up personal strength until the moment the opponent strikes to attack the opponent’s vulnerabilities and defects, forming a counterspell. Characteristic: strikes without warning.”
The attacking figure now wielded a saber and fiercely chopped it downward. Halfway through the motion, the opponent had still not reacted. But when the blade had just passed halfway, the defender suddenly sidestepped diagonally forward, and his right hand struck like lightning.
Mu Fan clearly saw a dent appear where the opponent gripped the saber for power, then the saber helplessly fell.
As both shadow figures returned to normal, the attacker, without any warning, launched a flying side kick.
But the defender was quicker with a lifting kick, striking the attacker’s left leg which was suspended in air.
Bang, the attacking shadow was kicked away.
When the attacking shadow resumed position and suddenly split into three, assaulting from three different angles with diverse moves.
“Derivative Skills, Cutting Three Weeks Chaos!”
At that moment, the defending shadow also split into three, striking out towards the three angles then retreating.
After the three figures collapsed, they dissipated.
Mu Fan watched, utterly fascinated. The defending shadow had merely used speed to deliver three strikes, but all of them broke the opponent’s joints and, due to the force’s reaction, each strike caused double the damage.
“Cutting, training movement, imprint.”
Another wave of pain came, and Mu Fan closed his eyes for ten minutes. Having endured the pain once, his reception speed had somewhat increased.
Mu Fan opened his eyes, murmuring to himself, “Attacks without thought… turning millions of attacks into instinct?”
Feeling this pure utilization of the body, Mu Fan looked towards the sky, awestruck by the figure of the Fighter Instructor in his heart.
A true martial artist, extending his own power to limitless existence.
It turns out what he had thought was the limit was not the limit at all!
“Instructor, please demonstrate the next form.” With his eyes filled with fighting spirit, Mu Fan shouted eagerly.
That voice remained unhurried, following its own pattern, speaking,
“Third form, Charging Step. Ghost Energy circuit 84.”
