Chapter 52: Testing the Taiji Palm
"Besides, aren't the other ninjutsu and taijutsu upgraded by the system all very powerful? Like the God's Fighting Technique and the Golden Bell Shield, these are all incomparably strong. So Orion still believes that this Taiji Palm won't be too weak."
After the Gentle Fist Eight Trigrams Palms upgraded into the Taiji Palm, a stream of knowledge that didn't belong to Orion appeared in his mind. Taiji Palm... this is the method of use for the Taiji Palm. It was somewhat similar to the Gentle Fist, but not entirely the same.
The Taiji Palm, in a point similar to the Gentle Fist, could also seal an opponent's meridians and stop the flow of their chakra. And the longer the Taiji Palm was used on an opponent, and the more they were hit by it, the slower their chakra flow would become, until finally, it would stop completely.
Another ability of the Taiji Palm was using four ounces to move a thousand pounds, allowing a person with weaker strength to fight against a person with powerful strength without being at a disadvantage.
It could also use the force of an opponent's attack to strike back. This borrowing of the opponent's strength to strike back, also known as "borrowing force to strike with force," was also encompassed by the principle of using four ounces to move a thousand pounds.
"I'll start by using this Taiji Palm to give it a try!"
Orion stood in front of a rock and directly used the Taiji Palm that had just been successfully upgraded.
"Taiji Palm!"
"Swish! Swish! Swish!"
Countless afterimages of his palms appeared in the air. This was the Taiji Palm in its "fast mode." The Taiji Palm could be both slow and fast. When it was fast, it used "bright energy," its speed was incomparably swift, and its power was also very immense, capable of causing extremely powerful destruction.
If he encountered an opponent whose strength surpassed his own, then the Taiji Palm could be switched to its "slow mode." Once the Taiji Palm switched to its slow mode, its speed would become very slow.
But it wasn't a true slowness. It only appeared very slow in the enemy's eyes. And the slow mode of the Taiji Palm was based on the principle of meeting all changes with constancy, overcoming movement with stillness.
The slow mode of the Taiji Palm was to let the opponent make the first move, and then he would make his move, using four ounces to move a thousand pounds. In this slow mode, the Taiji Palm would make the opponent very frustrated, as it could counter any move the opponent made.
The slow mode of the Taiji Palm used "dark energy." Dark energy was a hidden force. When using the slow mode, hitting an opponent with the Taiji Palm would send a burst of dark energy into their body. The user of the Taiji Palm could detonate this dark energy. When they felt the time was right, they could directly detonate the dark energy, causing massive damage to the opponent.
Under the fast mode of the Taiji Palm, the large rock in front of Orion was struck by the incredibly fast and immensely powerful technique, leaving countless palm prints on it. Each palm print was deeply imprinted into the stone.
Switching to the slow mode, Orion found another large rock and used the slow mode of the Taiji Palm to strike it. Each palm that landed on the large rock would send a burst of dark energy into it.
After striking it more than ten times, Orion felt it was about enough and chose to detonate it.
"Boom!"
An extremely loud sound of a rock shattering echoed from behind Orion. At this moment, Orion was already ten meters away from the large rock. When he turned around to look, the large rock had been blasted into countless small stones, scattered all over the ground.
But right now, he didn't know what the true power of this Taiji Palm was. There was no one around, so he couldn't test its true power against a person.
"That's right, I'll just go find Guy! I'll go to that training ground he always goes to and have a fight with him. Let's see how this Taiji Palm really is."
Orion left this private training ground and ran to the Konoha training ground. In this training ground, there would always be one person training here. In a year, there was basically not a single day of rest.
This time was no exception. Orion walked into this vast training ground. This training ground had a lot of training equipment, but he just didn't like training here.
It wasn't just because of the Third Hokage's peeping; another reason was that it was more comfortable to train in that other place. No one would disturb him, and when he was hungry, he could directly catch a few wild animals. It was very convenient.
In the center of the training ground, there was still a man in a green jumpsuit. That man was frantically training his body alone. He was Guy.
The current Guy had also changed a bit from the Guy of a year ago. Just his strength alone had changed a lot. After a year of frantic training, Guy's current strength was already much greater than a year ago. Not only had his strength increased, but he had also grown a little taller.
"Thump! Thump! Thump!"
Guy's leg kicking a large tree emitted a huge sound. Every move and every style could produce a strong gale. Every time he kicked that tree, a large patch of leaves would fall.
He was still muttering to himself. Although Orion didn't know what Guy was saying, he could guess that it must be related to his training goals, what to do if he failed, and what to do if he succeeded.
"This scene before my eyes is really so familiar! It's exactly the same as when I first saw Guy a year ago, not changed at all."
"Hey! Guy! Do you want to have a battle with me?"
Orion shouted loudly at Guy in the training ground.
Guy in the training ground heard Orion's call, turned his head, saw me, and smiled. "Isn't this Orion? What are you doing here now? Don't you usually only come at night?"
Guy asked as he walked towards Orion.
"I comprehended a new move today and want to test out how it is."
Orion said slowly to Guy.
"A new move? Haha, this is what youth is all about! Alright, Orion, let's have a hot-blooded battle!"
At this time, Guy had already walked in front of me. Hearing me say that I had comprehended a new move, he was instantly fired up.
"Alright, let's begin!"
As soon as Orion said "begin," the two started their close-combat fight. Because Guy's body was stronger than mine, he still needed to be particularly cautious when fighting him.
"Smack! Smack! Smack!"
In the exchange between the two, Orion was being suppressed. Although the God's Fighting Technique had very powerful fighting skills and a two-fold physical amplification, it still seemed a bit insufficient against Guy.
"Haha, Orion, didn't you say you comprehended a new move? If you don't use it now, you'll probably lose to me soon!"
Guy said excitedly to Orion.
"Alright, then I'll let you see my new move."
"Taiji Palm, fast mode, activate."
Suddenly, Orion, who was being suppressed by Guy, became several times faster. Guy felt that at this moment, it wasn't just Orion's speed that was several times faster; his power was also several times stronger than before.
As soon as Orion activated the Taiji Palm's fast mode, Guy wasn't able to prepare in time, so he was caught completely off guard.
"So strong! Although I don't know what kind of move Orion has comprehended, what kind of taijutsu, but just based on this increase in speed and power, I can be certain that this is a very powerful taijutsu."
"Alright, in that case, I won't hold back my power either. I'll directly activate my Jonin-level physical strength. After all, if an adult like me loses to a child, I'll lose face."
