Chapter 217 Taking One's First Steps
The 'Blazing Sun Hammer' technique is not difficult to learn. The hammer technique is based on the action of a weapon refiner striking an iron ingot when refining weapons, combined with some slashing techniques of knife skills and some footwork of fist techniques. The whole hammer technique is wide and powerful, with explosive force.
Once the hammer technique is mastered, the moment the hammer is unleashed, flames surge and heat waves surge, each strike is like a mountain pressing down or a volcanic eruption, its momentum unstoppable.
If the opponent fails to dodge the first blow, they will be rendered powerless by the subsequent second blow, leaving them with nowhere to escape but to withstand the even more powerful second blow. If they think they can fight back or escape after withstanding the second blow, they are sorely mistaken.
Because the third hammer blow came with the shadow, just like the first blow that gave no one a chance to breathe. The third hammer blow, which was superimposed with the force of the first and second hammer blows, had no chance to dodge. The third hammer blow was more powerful and faster. Very few ordinary opponents could survive the third hammer blow.
This is both the strength and the weakness of the 'Sun Hammer'.
The 'Blazing Sun Hammer' pursues the ultimate attack power, making it incredibly powerful. Each strike is stronger than the last, and the power increases with each strike. The second strike is an enhancement of the first, and the third strike is the sum of the previous two, and so on, becoming increasingly difficult to defend against as the strike progresses.
Often, after stacking four or five strikes, the power of the 'Sun Hammer' will exceed the user's own strength. Therefore, if the practitioner performs well, they can often defeat opponents of a higher level.
However, steel that is too hard is more easily broken, which is also the principle of reversal when things reach their extreme. The 'Blazing Sun Hammer' is only for the pursuit of fierceness and violence. Once it is used, it leaves no way out, so it often leaves many flaws in the duel.
If the opponent successfully defends, there will be many opportunities to counterattack. Moreover, the 'Blazing Sun Hammer' emphasizes the interlocking of moves, one move after another to achieve its full potential. If the opponent breaks through and interrupts the transition from the first move to the second move, you have to start all over again from the very first hammer. There is no room for flexibility.
Therefore, anyone who has come into contact with the 'Sun Hammer' technique, or who has considerable combat experience and is familiar with the 'Sun Hammer', can easily find a way to resist it.
Therefore, although the 'Blazing Sun Hammer' is domineering and has extraordinary combat power, making it a combat skill that allows for battles beyond one's level, its flaws are too obvious, so it can only be ranked as a mid-grade Earth-level skill.
Mo Yuming didn't have any better fire-based profound techniques. The Heaven-ranked experts like Electric Lord in the arsenal all came from the canyon. Due to limitations, although their profound skills were high, they had never practiced any high-level techniques.
Therefore, it couldn't offer Mo Yuming much help. Although Mo Yuming had collected some profound martial arts techniques from the treasure troves of the Liao and Wu Heng families, they were all ordinary techniques and not as powerful as the 'Blazing Sun Hammer'.
Mo Yuming's only skill to offer right now is the 'Dugu Palm' taught by Dugu Xian, a rare high-grade Heaven-rank technique. Unfortunately, the 'Dugu Palm' is an earth-based technique, which is of little help to Mo Yuming in cultivating fire-based profound techniques.
Mo Yuming now wants to improve his fire-based profound skills so that he can learn weapon crafting. The best way to improve his fire-based profound skills is to cultivate fire-based profound skill combat techniques.
By practicing combat skills, one can strengthen muscles and bones, which not only improves combat power but also enhances the coordination between various acupoints, making the flow of spiritual energy in the meridians smoother and more effective.
The 'Blazing Sun Hammer' is a brutal combat technique. The technique is simple, but it consumes a lot of physical strength when practiced. However, it is still very useful for strengthening the body.
Mo Yuming took out the iron hammer he had prepared when he was learning iron smelting from his storage bag and began to practice according to the secret manual provided by Huo Chengde.
The 'Blazing Sun Hammer' only has ten moves, and the moves are simple. Mo Yuming became familiar with them after practicing them two or three times. However, when he actually practiced it, Mo Yuming was panting heavily and drenched in sweat after only one round.
On a whim, Mo Yuming took off his shirt and practiced bare-chested three times in a row. When he swung the last hammer, Mo Yuming was almost exhausted. He dropped the hammer, which he could barely hold, and gasped for breath before collapsing to the ground to recover his strength.
After Mo Yuming's antics, the enclosed training room was like a sweltering kitchen, filled with intense heat, as if it were about to catch fire.
Mo Yuming was drenched in sweat, when he suddenly remembered that he still had a few Fire Maple Fruits left in his pocket, which he had left behind when he exchanged pill formulas with the alchemist last time.
So he quickly found it and ate one. At this time, all the fire spiritual power in his body had been exhausted, and he needed to absorb a lot of fire spiritual power to replenish it. Eating a maple leaf fruit rich in extreme fire spiritual power at this time was the best thing to do.
As expected, the Fire Maple Fruit immediately released a rich and intense fire spiritual energy upon entering his mouth. After Mo Yuming refined it, within the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, he had absorbed a sufficient amount of fire spiritual power. The fire spiritual power in his dantian was much more abundant, and the flow of fire spiritual power through his meridians and acupoints was smoother and faster. His cultivation level even showed signs of breaking through to the sixth level of the Earth Rank.
After tidying himself up, Mo Yuming left the training room, washed off the sweat and dirt, changed into clean clothes, and went to the small living room in front.
It was late at night, and all was quiet. Bright moonlight streamed through the window, casting a faint silver glow into the room. Mo Yuming did not turn on the lights. His perception was now vastly different from before. In addition to his eyes being able to see things hidden in the darkness within several feet around him, his other sensory organs, such as his ears, skin, and nose, could also perceive subtle changes in his surroundings.
If one uses their soul power to survey the surroundings, they can perceive the objects hidden behind the stone wall, clearly distinguishing whether they are still or moving, grass or wood, people or things. It's as if they are standing right in front of these objects and seeing them with their own eyes.
Mo Yuming didn't know what level his soul power was. Although he cultivated the 'Soul Wheel Guidance' like the Wu Clan, his cultivation had mutated. Unlike the Wu Clan, whose soul power was gathered in their dantian and whose soul wheel would clearly appear behind their heads when they circulated their energy, Mo Yuming didn't know what level his soul power was.
His, however, was transparent and stored directly in his mind; he could only vaguely sense its existence, but he had no way of knowing its level or quantity.
Mo Yuming took out the Spirit Gathering Brush, straightened his posture, and began to practice his profound inner cultivation technique. A powerful fire spiritual energy quickly merged into the Spirit Gathering Brush. Mo Yuming's soul carefully sensed this spiritual energy, intertwining with it and gathering all the power in his body to propel it to rotate.
At this moment, the soul power was like a toddler learning to walk, taking unsteady steps to reach a giant door, trying to push it open. However, due to unsteady steps and improper force, despite expending a great deal of effort, it still could not push open the door blocking its way.
