Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms

You Tanzhi couldn't catch up, and because he was blind and unable to move easily, he stood on the roof for a while, then sighed softly and sat down again.

In a few leaps, Bai Ke arrived at the main hall of Lingjiu Palace. Xu Zhu would meditate here every day. He had just left the two of them to come here to change A Zi's dressing, so he must be free now.

Xu Zhu was meditating and regulating his breathing when he suddenly sensed someone entering. He looked up and saw Bai Ke. He immediately nodded slightly, indicating that Bai Ke should sit down.

Bai Ke casually found a chair and sat down, sprawling out on it and swaying back and forth. "What? Is Azi all better now?"

Xu Zhu nodded helplessly, then complained, "Brother Bai, you're supposed to be from a prestigious sect, how can you be so unconcerned about your image?"

Bai Ke curled his lip and said, "You little bald monk, how dare you make fun of me? So what if you're from a prestigious sect? You're from Shaolin Temple, so why don't I see you eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddhist scriptures every day?"

The two had gotten to know each other quite well over the past few days. Compared to Duan Yu, who was only focused on the fairy sister, and Qiao Feng, who was both scholarly and martial, and a heroic figure, he preferred to spend time with Xu Zhu.

There wasn't any particular reason; Bai Ke simply enjoyed the feeling of bickering with Xu Zhu, which reminded him of his brother from his previous life with whom he often played games.

Unfortunately, things have changed. Now that I have this strange and beautiful world, I don't know if I will ever be able to see my old friends again.

After getting to know each other better, Bai Ke discovered that Xu Zhu was quite talkative, but also clumsy with words. Bai Ke often teased Xu Zhu, which eventually helped him improve.

After chatting for a while, Bai Ke suddenly winked at Xu Zhu and said, "Don't neglect your brother, I've heard that the princess of the Western Xia palace is incredibly beautiful. Want to go see her?"

Xu Zhu shook his head. "Amitabha, monks have their own precepts. No matter how beautiful that female benefactor is, it has nothing to do with this humble monk."

"Ha! I call you little master, and you really think you're a monk? Have you ever seen a monk who drinks wine, eats meat, and thinks about women?" Bai Ke looked at Xu Zhu with disdain.

After a wry smile, Xu Zhu continued, "Very well, I'll tell Brother Bai the truth. I have my own concerns, and I'm afraid the Western Xia princess is not fortunate enough to enjoy her life."

After a pause, Xu Zhu glanced at Bai Ke secretly before continuing, "As for you, Brother Bai, with your heroic bearing and superb martial arts, you are sure to win the heart of a beauty. This humble monk will not interfere."

Bai Ke chuckled strangely. This silly Xu Zhu actually wanted to introduce his wife to him. He couldn't help but suppress his laughter and said, "You silly monk, why are you acting as a matchmaker..."

Let me tell you, I heard from someone that this princess of Western Xia met a man a long time ago, and ever since then she has been obsessed with him and can't let go of him, so she has fallen ill with lovesickness.

The King of Western Xia doted on his daughter, so what's going on today? Does he even have time to punish his daughter for having romantic feelings?

So he widely distributed official documents, which could be found in Western Xia, Dali, and even the Liao and Song dynasties. He then announced a martial arts contest to find a husband for his daughter. "Don't you really want to go and watch?"

“Even if it’s a huge celebration, I won’t go. Abbot Xuanci is still unconscious. How can I leave him and my mother behind?”

It seems that Xu Zhu was so used to calling Abbot Xuan Ci that even though he knew that he was his biological father, he still couldn't change his way of addressing him. Ye Erniang took good care of Xuan Ci, so she let him call him that.

Bai Ke was speechless upon hearing this. He had kindly wanted to let him see Meng Gu, whom he had been longing for, ahead of time, but Xu Zhu was not grateful at all.

He had forgotten how Xu Zhu had agreed to go to the Western Xia palace with Duan Yu, and seeing that his attempts to persuade him had failed, he stopped interfering.

The time for his return is just around the corner, and he should make more preparations. He has been in the world of Tian Long Ba Bu for more than two months, and in three to five days he will return to the world of Shan Hai.

Strictly speaking, Bai Ke has only been in the Shan Hai Realm for a little over half a month since he traveled from Earth, but he has been in this small world of Tian Long Ba Bu for more than two months.

So, emotionally speaking, Bai Ke is still quite reluctant to leave. It's still great to be able to personally experience what it's like to travel into the world of Jin Yong's martial arts novels.

Of course, the most important thing is the harvest. Bai Ke will not forget his original purpose in this world of Tian Long Ba Bu. After all, the world of Shan Hai is not the peaceful and stable Earth of his previous life.

Even though he was the direct disciple of Tian Ce Palace and his father was a powerful and influential elder, he was still tricked to death once.

Therefore, the most fundamental thing is to improve one's ability to survive. Only by constantly becoming stronger and stronger than everyone else can one be invincible in this world.

If the small world of Tian Long Ba Bu was his stepping stone to advancement in the Tian Ce Palace, then the Lingbo Weibu, Tianshan Zhemei Shou, and Jianglong Shiba Zhang he learned in this world were his true protective treasures.

Thinking of the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, Bai Ke recalled the scene a few days ago when he, Qiao Feng, and Xu Zhu worked together to improve the Twenty-Eight Subduing Dragon Palms.

At that time, Qiao Feng was relieved of his burden because A Zi's eye disease had been cured. He then remembered the idea of ​​improving the Twenty-Eight Subduing Dragon Palms that he had come up with when he was bored.

As it happened, Xu Zhu and Bai Ke were also free, so the three of them discussed how to improve and streamline each move of the Twenty-Eight Subduing Dragon Palms while practicing the moves.

The final version of the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms is a martial art refined from multiple hand techniques, including the Twenty-Eight Subduing Dragon Palms, the Dragon-Capturing Skill, the Taizu Long Fist, the Tianshan Six Yang Palms, and the Tianshan Plum Blossom Hand.

Compared to the original Twenty-Eight Subduing Dragon Palms, the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms developed by the three of them together are more concise and effective. With Bai Ke's insightful guidance, he also took into account the user's physical condition and the ability of their meridians to withstand the pressure.

This allows the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms to achieve an unparalleled and powerful effect without harming the user. Furthermore, the special meridian circulation method can even enhance its strength.

Whether it's befriending distant enemies and attacking nearby ones, capturing them, or engaging in chaotic battles, the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms has specific moves to deal with any situation, making it arguably the pinnacle of palm techniques in the world.

Unlike the Tianshan Plum Blossom Hand, which emphasizes adaptability to change, the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms emphasizes the combination of hardness and softness, and the combination of yin and yang makes the power reach its maximum, with each palm strike having great power.

In private, Bai Ke once used his spiritual power on a snow-covered mountain. Spiritual light spewed from his palm, and a phantom dragon shadow appeared and disappeared. Bai Ke struck out with his palm, almost breaking the snow mountain in two.

Moreover, perhaps because Bai Ke possessed the bloodline of the dragon race, when he activated the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, a dragon's roar spontaneously accompanied it, which was awe-inspiring.
