I Can Use Myriad Divine Abilities-Chapter 41: Water Has No Fixed Form

Under the envious and jealous gazes of the other youths, Zhang Yuan followed Dong Yuanwei into the Wooden Man Room.

The Wooden Man Room was right next to the Martial Arts Arena, and it was very spacious and bright inside.

The room was neatly lined with eighteen wooden figures.

All the wooden figures were similar in size and height to an average person, with their heads, torsos, and limbs all wrapped in thick fish skin.

Dong Yuanwei told Zhang Yuan that these fish skins were taken from large black fish that had grown for over ten years, peeled with the scales and soaked in a specially formulated liquid.

They were soaked for forty-nine days, then dried for half a month before being soaked again.

Only after three cycles of soaking and drying was the process considered complete.

And wrapping one wooden figure required a hundred and seventy sheets of such black fish skin!

The training dummies made in this way could yield twice the result with half the effort when practicing the Thunderous Wave Palm Technique.

Dong Yuanwei personally demonstrated the Twelve Techniques of the Shocking Wave Palm on one of the fish-skin-wrapped figures.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In the Wooden Man Room, the pounding sounds were continuous, heavy, and impressive.

Zhang Yuan watched Dong Yuanwei’s demonstrations without blinking, gaining new insights into the Shocking Wave Palm.

Dong Yuanwei practiced it three times over and explained in detail the energy manipulation method of each move.

This Battle Hall Instructor said finally, "The Palm Force’s introduction is the next step, which is a water grinding technique. When you can break the scales on the skin, this Palm Technique will have truly entered the hall!"

The black fish skin wrapped on the wooden figures was multilayered, and the outermost layer had been struck so many times that the scales had a metallic luster.

They appeared extremely tough.

Breaking them was clearly not an easy task!

Zhang Yuan pondered and asked, "Instructor, how does one practice the intentional momentum of the Palm Technique?"

Previously, Dong Yuanwei had mentioned that the Shocking Wave Palm consisted of three levels: techniques, energy transfer, and intentional momentum.

Zhang Yuan had mastered the techniques and had been initiated into energy transfer, leaving only the intentional momentum to be mastered.

Despite having only just entered the realm of Palm Force, Zhang Yuan hastily inquired about the method of the intentional momentum level.

He couldn’t help but seem overly ambitious.

However, Dong Yuanwei was not Zhang Yuan’s private instructor, and such individual lessons were rare.

So he couldn’t worry too much; he wanted to learn the method first and talk about it later.

"Intentional momentum needs to be comprehended on your own."

Dong Yuanwei wasn’t angry. The Battle Hall Instructor said meaningfully, "Soldiers have no constant form, water has no constant shape. To grasp the intentional momentum of the Shocking Wave Palm, you need to cultivate the Palm Technique to entering the hall’s realm and also learn from the Dao of nature!"

"The same principle applies to higher-level martial arts techniques."

He patted Zhang Yuan on the shoulder, "To be honest, I don’t dare say I’ve fully understood the intentional momentum of the Shocking Wave Palm, so I won’t boast arrogantly and mislead you!"

Zhang Yuan was stunned.

The Shocking Wave Palm was merely an introductory martial art of the Furious Whale Gang, yet even Dong Yuanwei said he hadn’t fully comprehended it.

This Battle Hall Instructor was a Transformation Realm Martial Artist!

No wonder Dong Yuanwei said that the Shocking Wave Palm was a recognized martial art in the martial world.

This speaks volumes about the Furious Whale Gang’s deep foundation.

Dong Yuanwei continued, "I’ve taught you all I can about the method and key of the Shocking Wave Palm. The rest depends on your effort and comprehension!"

Zhang Yuan nodded, "I understand."

The saying goes that teachers open the door, but cultivation depends on the individual. Dong Yuanwei wasn’t his father, responsible for ensuring he learned everything.

In fact, this Battle Hall Instructor had already shown considerable care and attention to Zhang Yuan.

"Very good."

Dong Yuanwei’s serious face revealed a slight smile. He suddenly shifted the topic, "Do you know how to swim?"

Zhang Yuan was momentarily stunned and answered, "Yes, I do."

In his previous life, he loved swimming.

After awakening his memories in this life, he often caught fish and crabs in the streams near Chen Family Village.

"That’s good."

Dong Yuanwei said, "Our Furious Whale Gang spends most of its life on water, so we can’t be bad at swimming. Whenever you have time, swim a few laps in the Celestial Horse River. It will be good for your future."

"Moreover..."

His tone turned meaningful, "The Shocking Wave Palm can also be practiced in water."

Practice palm technique in water?

Zhang Yuan’s heart was moved, and he fell into deep contemplation.

Dong Yuanwei’s words were surely not without reason.

Since he said that the Shocking Wave Palm could be practiced in water, he wasn’t just fooling Zhang Yuan.

Soldiers have no constant form, water has no constant shape!

When Zhang Yuan returned to his senses, he realized that this Battle Hall Instructor had quietly left the Wooden Man Room.

Zhang Yuan took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and cleared away distracting thoughts. Then he swung his palm towards the wooden figure in front of him.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In the Wooden Man Room, the relentless sounds of striking echoed once again.

At sunset, Zhang Yuan walked out of Whale Castle alone, along the riverbank toward the county town.

His hands were swollen and rounded, and even after applying healing ointment, they looked worse than yesterday.

But Zhang Yuan didn’t care about the pain in his hands. His gaze swept across the bend in the river before him.

The water surface here was calm, gleaming, with countless reeds swaying in the wind along the shore, creating a picturesque scene.

A flowery scent of water tinged with earth and grass brushed against his face.

Zhang Yuan couldn’t help but recall Dong Yuanwei’s words—the Shocking Wave Palm could also be practiced in water!

His heart was suddenly filled with an irresistible urge.

The next moment, Zhang Yuan took off his clothes and hung them on a branch by the river.

Then he plunged into the river!

The clear river water instantly engulfed him entirely, like a fish entering the sea, darting to the bottom in a blink.

Underwater, Zhang Yuan turned and kicked, swiftly propelling himself upwards.

In an instant, he resurfaced.

Refreshing!

After a long afternoon of sweating in the Wooden Man Room, the cool river water now thoroughly cleansed him.

His entire body felt completely comfortable.

Then Zhang Yuan swam freely in the nearshore area, occasionally diving underwater.

Seeing if he could catch something.

He was having a great time, almost forgetting his original purpose for entering the water!

[Extraordinary Life Form Detected!]

Just as Zhang Yuan submerged again, a prominent notification suddenly appeared in his vision.

Caught off guard, Zhang Yuan almost gulped the water!

What the heck!

He never imagined that following a whim to swim underwater would lead him to encounter an extraordinary life form.

But before Zhang Yuan could start celebrating, the notification quietly vanished.

This indicated that his distance from the genetic body exceeded the sensing range of the Divine Nest.

Yet that wasn’t the main issue.

The main issue was that all three nest rooms in Zhang Yuan’s Divine Nest were currently occupied.

So unless he deliberately released one of the hosts to free up a nest room, he would be unable to contain a new extraordinary life form, even if he captured one now.

When Zhang Yuan climbed back to the shore, dripping wet, he resolved to find a way to complete the upgrade of the Divine Nest.

Then there would be new nest rooms!
