Playing with fantasy beasts in the martial arts world

Chapter 89 Learning from Each Other
"As you said, that hero Guo has won the hearts of the people. Now that the Mongol army is invading, changing commanders in the midst of battle is a grave taboo!"

"Besides, more than a hundred years have passed since the Jingde era. Even if my Yang family still has some prestige, it is as fleeting as duckweed. Although it is still talked about, that is all it is." Yang Bamei was, after all, from a prominent family. She saw things more clearly than Cha Nan, a transmigrator from the modern era. Therefore, she was far less optimistic than Cha Nan.

Upon hearing this, Cha Nan's initial excitement cooled down, and upon reflection, it was indeed as Yang Bamei had said.

The rulers, those who control the discourse, promote the Yang family and the Yang family generals for their own purposes, but they may not really want to see a living female general from the Yang family come out and give orders.

Like many of Confucius's disciples and followers, despite using Confucius's name to talk about benevolence and morality, if Confucius were to be reborn, they would probably be the ones who most want to nail the coffin lid of this saint back to life.

"No matter what, Xiangyang City still needs you!" Cha Nan still didn't give up.

While it's clearly inappropriate to use Yang Bamei as a trump card, she was indeed trained in a traditional military family and was an outstanding female general during the peak of the Northern Song Dynasty's military power. She also had the talent to be a commander. Bringing such a person back to Xiangyang, even if only as an advisor, would be excellent.

"That is my wish, I dare not ask!" Yang Bamei also clasped her hands in a fist and said to Cha Nan.

Protecting her home and country was the tradition of her Yang family and her own wish. Even if Cha Nan hadn't mentioned it, she would have gone there on her own initiative.

“But… I’ve been lingering here for a long time, and I’ve tried climbing the vines, but they’re too brittle and difficult to support. How are we going to get out?” Yang Bamei asked.

This valley is more like an underground cave. Although sunlight shines through the cracks in the rock walls, the cracks are not very big. The largest can only barely allow one person to pass through. Therefore, it is unrealistic to summon the Gale Falcon here to carry people out one by one.

"Sister Yang! Do you know how to hold your breath?" Cha Nan asked Yang Ba Mei.

"Breath-holding technique? I don't know it!" Yang Bamei shook her head. Although she also practiced internal energy cultivation, her internal energy cultivation was more about increasing strength, resisting muscle fatigue, and invigorating the spirit. It was a martial arts internal energy cultivation technique used on the battlefield. She definitely didn't know breath-holding technique, which was used for diving or playing dead.

“Then I will teach you now. With your intelligence, Eighth Sister, it won’t be long before you master it. Once you’ve learned the breath-holding technique, we’ll dive down to another valley. Once we’re there, we’ll have our own way out,” Cha Nan said.

Yang Bamei was pleased to receive such praise, and said to Cha Nan, "I can't learn your breath-holding technique for nothing. How about this... I'll trade you a spear technique or a hammer technique!"

"You said you wanted to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. On the battlefield, swords and blades are hard to penetrate armor, and fists and feet are even less effective. It's better to use a gun or a hammer."

Upon hearing this, Cha Nan didn't refuse: "Alright! I'll learn a marksmanship from you!"

Although the hammer is actually more lethal on the battlefield, strength is temporary, but coolness is forever!
Therefore, Cha Nan chose to learn marksmanship.

Tell me, how many men haven't imagined themselves on the battlefield, facing thousands of troops, riding a white horse, clad in silver armor, wielding a long spear, and going against the tide to pierce through the enemy lines?
Moreover, the Yang family spear technique was renowned. Although it seemed somewhat useless by Yang Tiexin's generation, firstly, the Yang family had already declined by the time of Yang Tiexin, and the family's spear technique was severely lacking. The matching methods of channeling energy and internal energy cultivation were also lost. Secondly, Yang Tiexin himself was not particularly talented, and even with the incomplete Yang family spear technique, he was not able to unleash much of its power.

So next, Cha Nan taught Yang Ba Mei the art of breath-holding, while Yang Ba Mei taught Cha Nan the Six Harmonies Plum Blossom Spear technique.

This set of Six Harmonies Plum Blossom Spear techniques is second only to the core Yang Family Spear Technique and the Golden Saber Technique inherited from Yang Ye in the Yang Family martial arts lineage. It is as famous as the Walking Line Copper Hammer Technique. All of them were created by Yang Gun. The moves are exquisite and varied, and they are designed to strike gaps in armor and places that cannot be protected. Because of its agility, it can also be used in the martial arts world.

Yang Bamei chose to teach this set of marksmanship because she had mastered it to the highest level.

As for the core Yang family spear technique, although she could use it, it was a heavy spear technique used on the battlefield, involving large, sweeping movements while riding a warhorse. Even with her exceptional talent, some of her physical disadvantages were difficult to overcome, making it hard to achieve great mastery of this spear technique in a lifetime. After learning the spear technique twice, Cha Nan had memorized the general structure. The next step was to practice and delve into it, which couldn't be rushed.

Through mutual learning, Cha Nan and Yang Bamei became closer. Cha Nan then asked Yang Bamei, "I wonder if Sister Bamei knows Fifth Brother's Five-Brother Eight Trigrams Staff?"

Cha Nan still remembers his group of Iron Fist Apes!

The best staff technique is undoubtedly the most suitable for monkeys, and the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams Staff incorporates the principles of the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, which can be transformed into staff formations with slight modifications.

If a group of Iron Fist Apes skilled in staff fighting were trained in both strongholds, wouldn't the defensive strength of the strongholds be much more reassuring?

"Yes... I can!" Yang Bamei glanced at Cha Nan hesitantly, then said, "However, this staff technique lacks some killing power. Half of it abandons the killing moves in the Yang family spear technique and instead incorporates the staff technique from Mount Wutai. Although it is quite powerful, it seems a bit too merciful whether used on the battlefield or in the martial arts world."

Good guy!
Yang Bamei has a great bloodthirstiness. Judging from her words, she looks down on the Five Elements Eight Trigrams Staff, thinking that this staff technique is not a good martial art because it can't kill people.

Cha Nan didn't explain much and directly summoned Kakarot.

“I won’t learn it, but it will!” Chanan said, pointing at Kakarot.

Yang Bamei curiously looked at the suddenly appearing Kakarot, not afraid of its fierce appearance, but went forward to touch Kakarot's hedgehog-like head.

Cha Nan restrained Kakarot, preventing it from resisting, and let Yang Bamei touch it.

"What an adorable monkey!"

"Do you have extra? And how did you hide them?" Yang Bamei asked happily.

At this moment, she changed her previous dashing and intelligent demeanor, revealing a touch of girlish naiveté.

“You like it? If you like it… I can give you one, but you’ll have to figure out how to tame it yourself,” Cha Nan said.

He had previously tried giving the Palo Ball to Guo Fu so she could try using it to capture mythical beasts. If she succeeded, Cha Nan could then start an infinite nesting mode. However, Guo Fu couldn't use the Palo Ball to capture mythical beasts for her own use. Even if she threw out the Palo Ball, the mythical beasts captured by the Palo Ball would eventually return to Cha Nan's base, meaning Guo Fu was just a tool.

It seems to be an implicit agreement that any Paluk balls given out through Cha Nan's channels, and any captured mythical beasts, belong to Cha Nan.

Therefore, even if Cha Nan releases some of the magical beasts and gives them to others, those people who want to tame them will still have to follow the traditional path of beast taming.

Or perhaps they just click with the pet, and the pet willingly follows them.
