Chapter 511: Chapter 287: Unboxing
[Successfully opened, acquired Palm Technique: Flame Saber!]
The system gave a short notification, and Chu Qing’s expression remained calm.
He could now accept any reward given by the system...
Unless this scattered Treasure Chest opened up Inner Power.
Other rewards were unlikely to surprise him anymore.
The next moment, the method of cultivating the Flame Saber technique already flowed in his mind.
In just a moment, Chu Qing opened his eyes.
After pondering a bit, he suddenly clasped his palms together, rubbed them, then pushed forward with one arm, and a line of fire instantly shot out.
The blaze was fierce, and if Chu Qing hadn’t held back, this strike would have pierced through the door, and where it ended up would be anyone’s guess.
Now, he restrained the force within the room, not allowing it to spread outside, but still, the scorch marks left behind were striking.
"Not bad, not bad!"
Chu Qing nodded slightly, feeling this could indeed be considered a Secret Technique.
By transforming extremely advanced and profound Inner Strength into blazing flames, using the hand as a saber, it could slash, carve, lift, and chop... The technique was not fixed but done as desired.
Chu Qing intentionally used his palm as a saber to stab out, thus shooting out a line of fire.
If he used the edge of his palm as a blade, cutting horizontally, it would be like wielding a Fiery Divine Saber horizontally.
Not to mention the sharpness, just the Fire Strength within was beyond what an ordinary person could withstand.
In fact, Chu Qing had been quite intrigued by the Nine Fiery Burn Divine Skill that Beitang Zun and the others used, as the Fire Strength it triggered was quite extraordinary.
Chu Qing could easily fight and defeat them because his Inner Power was too profound.
Hence, the Nine Fiery Burn Divine Skill was like fireflies to him, not worth mentioning.
But in reality, when it comes to martial skills related to elements like water and fire, which one is simple?
Cheng Tieshan, known for his powerful Martial Arts, would have been killed by Beitang Zun eventually if he hadn’t happened to run to the Yin Yang Forest where Chu Qing and others found him...
This was also because Beitang Zun himself was doubtful of Beitang Lie at the time.
The intent to pursue and kill Cheng Tieshan was not that resolute...otherwise, with a sudden killing intent, Cheng Tieshan might not have had the chance to reach the Yin Yang Forest.
Beitang Zun led the Blazing Hall to seek refuge with Chu Qing, offering the Nine Fiery Burn Divine Skill with open hands.
Chu Qing, due to the system’s existence, did not accept it.
Unexpectedly, now he obtained the secret technique of the Flame Saber.
However, the Force Acceleration Technique of this martial skill and the Nine Fiery Burn Divine Skill are entirely different.
The Nine Fiery Burn Divine Skill runs through the heart meridian, using the heart as the basis, called Divine Skill, but its practice process is extremely perilous.
In contrast, the Flame Saber is purely triggered by advanced Inner Strength, not involving internal organs, and while powerful, it is mainly safer.
Sitting on the bed, Chu Qing pondered:
"This Dharma Gate, turning forward, becomes the Flame Saber...
"If reversed, could it transform into the Ice Blade?"
He had a sudden thought and wanted to try it, but upon consideration, it seemed impractical.
A little too wishful...
To attempt it, he must thoroughly understand the Flame Saber, know the purpose of every step of Inner Power flow, understand it fully, and only then begin other explorations.
Otherwise, he might go wrong and risk losing control.
At best, it could damage the meridians; at worst...death on the spot.
Chu Qing cherished his life dearly and wouldn’t act so recklessly.
Familiarizing himself more with the various wonders and Divine Powers of the Flame Saber, ideas flowed continuously out of his mind...
Either considering the application of the Force Acceleration Technique of the Flame Saber to a real saber or sword.
"If this Dharma Gate could be integrated into the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, delivering a strike with dragons of fire raving in all directions... it would be an essential skill for striking enemies down!"
"Or, perhaps, let ice and fire originate together, the Dragon-shaped Qi surrounding the Ice and Fire Qi, forming a direct strike of Nine Heavens of Ice and Fire!"
The more Chu Qing thought, the more excited he became and began various small experiments.
Once started, he became busy at trying different methods.
If not busy experimenting with various uses, then bustling around the room to put out fires.
In the room, flames flared vigorously at times, while at other times, ice spread, with water vapor everywhere... truly, it was a solid night of chaos.
By the next morning, when Wu Qianhuan and Gentle came to find him and opened the door, they were both bewildered.
Wu Qianhuan glanced at the burnt curtains, charred windows, the scorched marks on the table, and the distinct smell of burn.
Couldn’t help but ask:
"Did you play with fire in this room last night while we were asleep?"
Chu Qing frowned deeply. Throughout the night of attempts, not much feedback proved feasible.
The issue was that the Flame Saber was meant for outward release, not inner restraint.
Whenever the Fire Strength was turned inward, it would harm oneself.
And once released outwardly, the controllable space was extremely limited.
Just trying to attach it to a sword or saber was quite troublesome.
The force lost control once unleashed, even though a sword or saber is an extension of the arm, and a master can wield them with ease, it is not truly part of the body.
Thus, the force would erupt at the hilt before reaching the tip...
This flame could not harm Chu Qing, yet it could char the hilt, and the feedback heat nearly scorched him.
Proper use of it was still a distant endeavor.
However, this was also because Chu Qing wanted innovation, trying various tricks... had he adhered to the original methods, nothing would have happened.
