Chapter 2361 — A Failed Martial Technique
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"First form, Spring Rain from Heaven!" Following the triggering method described in the martial technique, Wei Zhao released the first form of Spring Rain from Heaven...
But the very next moment, Wei Zhao's face turned ashen!
It had not succeeded. The trigger had failed!
Wei Zhao stared at his own hands in disbelief. Clearly, in that instant just now, he had already felt the power generated by the mental formulas and oral mnemonics about to be triggered through his palms—yet that "about to" came to an abrupt halt!
Impossible—how could this be? At the moment of triggering, Wei Zhao had been certain he could succeed. After all, the martial technique's mental formulas had already transformed the true qi in his body into the technique's power and pushed it to the meridians of his palms. It was on the verge of being released, and yet the trigger had failed!
At that thought, Wei Zhao once again circulated Spring Rain from Heaven's mental formulas and attempted the trigger a second time. The result was still failure. This outcome left Wei Zhao—who had until now been invincible and had sailed smoothly and easily along the path of triggering martial techniques—somewhat pale in the face!
Before, with the universal martial technique in hand, Wei Zhao had basically come to believe that no matter what martial technique it was, once it reached his hands he could successfully trigger it. Especially after he had fused the Myriad Transformations of Forest and Wood with the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams Palm, and Frenzied Fire Fist with the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams Palm, into two new martial techniques—Wei Zhao felt all the more that he could trigger any martial technique at all.
But the current situation dealt Wei Zhao a severe blow. Spring Rain from Heaven could not be triggered! And this was a martial technique of important use to Wei Zhao—being unable to trigger it had driven his frustration to a certain pitch!
Could it be that his body truly had no water-attribute nature, and that the universal martial technique also operated according to the attributes within the body—if the body had that attribute, the technique could be successfully triggered; if the body lacked it, it could not be triggered?
The moment the idea arose, Wei Zhao knew his guess was probably nine parts out of ten correct!
Sighing, Wei Zhao turned and left the room, no longer continuing to study the Spring Rain from Heaven technique. Wei Zhao knew that his mental formulas and oral mnemonics were already circulating with complete fluency—the failure to trigger could only be due to some other reason.
"Arrow-Brand Bro, you're out!" Shen Yushu saw Wei Zhao come out of the room and bounced up from the sofa in a single motion. "You still haven't told Little Shu any fun stories even now!"
Earlier, Wei Zhao had shut himself in his room the moment he got home. Ever since returning from the Ulonghot Mountains, one could say Wei Zhao had not spoken a word to Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu, which had left Shen Yushu a little unhappy.
"Little Shu, Wei Zhao has proper business—he's researching martial techniques. Where would he find time to tell you stories?" Gu Mengyao pulled Little Shu back to the sofa, then said to Wei Zhao, "Wei Zhao, don't mind her. Go on with your work."
"It's fine. I happen to have some free time right now, so I'll tell you about the trip to the Ulonghot Mountains." Wei Zhao smiled, then sat down on the sofa beside Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu and said, "But I offended quite a few people on this trip. After I've told you, don't go telling anyone else."
