Meng Yan doesn't have many requirements for what he will learn. He is now in a period of absorbing a lot. As long as someone is willing to teach the exercises, he will learn them happily, especially if someone teaches them step by step. This is self-study based on the secrets.
There are no benefits to practicing, so he was particularly enthusiastic about the noodle seller's teaching, so much so that even the noodle seller was a little surprised.
"You... are so serious, don't you think this set of grappling hands is useless? It can only be used for short-range combat and holding ordinary weapons. It is not very useful when it comes to weapons. It can neither be used as a core skill nor is it powerful.
Stunt skills, don't you... dislike them?"
"What are you talking about? As long as the noodles are cooked by the master, every bowl is delicious. As long as the skills are taught by the master, they are all good skills. I can only be grateful, how can I be dissatisfied?"
For Meng Yan, the fact that the noodle seller was willing to teach the exercises was a great reward. The significance lay in the act itself, not in the exercises. Therefore, he was satisfied with what he had learned and looked grateful when he left.
"It's getting dark soon. Thank you Master for your guidance this night. I still have work to do, so I must go back first. Please take care of yourself, Master. I will wait for Master's contact later. I will fight against all odds."
Meng Yan bowed, saluted and left. This attitude made the old man feel even more unclear. He didn't understand what kind of medicine this young man was selling in his gourd, and he couldn't even figure out whether he was good or bad. Why was he sincere in his words and deeds at one time, and then another in his words?
Insatiable greed, what kind of person is he?
"Alas, there are talented people from generation to generation, but my old eyes are really becoming less and less good at seeing people..."
He sighed sincerely. As soon as he finished speaking, something strange suddenly happened in the surrounding space. A ripple shook violently in the air, followed by a man in a gray cloak who stepped out from inside.
"...You actually passed that skill on to him?"
The voice was a little old, but it had a female accent. On Qianxue Peak at this moment, women were much easier to see than men, and there was obvious dissatisfaction in this voice. The noodle seller just smiled when she heard this.
"Isn't this great? You and I have waited long enough. This skill is in your hands. We and our predecessors have been studying it for countless years, but we lack the most important mental formula. It
It’s basically a piece of trash. Apart from adapting it and using it as a third-rate grappler for self-defense, the rest has no real meaning.”
"You can say it's easy, but that's..."
"No matter what it used to be, it is now just a set of waste in form. I am actually quite happy to pass the thing into his hands. This kid has some evil ways. Maybe I can use his ability to solve the problems that trouble you and me.
It has been a long-standing problem. If he can really reproduce the function of that skill without any mental tricks, then... we will definitely not lose money."
"Hmph, if he hadn't behaved well and responded reasonably just now, I would have killed him with one finger. Do you think... he would have seen through the extraordinary nature of this set of grapplers?"
"……this……"
Faced with this question, the noodle seller was silent for a moment, and finally shook her head, "I can't say for sure. I've been watching people for decades, but I've never seen anything so strange. I can't see through him.
, I don’t know... how much has he seen through us?”
The noodle seller's estimation was indeed accurate. As soon as Meng Yan left, before the mysterious man in gray cloak showed up, Wu Chou had already reported the incident there.
'What? Master has a companion hiding there? Alas, these days, there is no basic trust between master and disciple. What can't we talk about? It's too hurtful to have to hide it secretly like this...
However, Master has helpers, and I also have Wu Chou to help you analyze. We all have helpers, so it’s just the same.'
Meng Yan acted very open-minded, and was thinking about what he had just learned. On the surface, this set of grappling hands was of no use, worse than the bad martial arts tricks on the street. The old lady seemed to just pick up a bad thing.
However, during the process of teaching the skills, Meng Yan saw that the noodle seller had some expectations. Not only did she hope that she could practice, but she also seemed to hope that she could accomplish something. Just for this expectation,
It's time for you to work hard.
'This set of grappling hands is a bit strange. It is not aimed at human body joints. It is mainly used to implement the technique of grabbing white blades with bare hands. It is aimed at shooting, hooking, locking and grabbing weapons. In the era before weapons became popular, this technique was also very popular.
However, with the birth of weapons, the power of weapons has been increased ten times, a hundred times, and a thousand times. It is useless to grab the blade with bare hands. The risk is too high and the difficulty is too high. No one can touch an exploding sun with bare hands...
Wu Chou, are you analyzing and calculating?'
'As you wish, simulations have been going on here since you started learning the moves. Compared with the currently known martial arts and weapons of various schools, in the 460,000 simulated battles, this set of grapplers has
It doesn't give you any advantage. It is recommended that after you become proficient, you'd better not use it to start a war with others.'
'What about other possibilities? Is it possible that... besides capturing and seizing soldiers, this technique has other uses, such as scratching an itch or something?'
'Yes, we compared nearly 100,000 possibilities here, including the scratching that was added at your request. After that, we eliminated most of the derivative possibilities, including scratching, and finally came to the conclusion that this should be
An incomplete set of techniques.'
'incomplete?'
'Yes, purely in terms of hand movements, this set of techniques is very strange. Many of the hooks and slaps directed at weapons are completely meaningless and redundant actions. Doing unnecessary things in battle is very likely to be fatal, and if you want to
To find the meaning of these redundant movements, other assumptions must be added to complete it. Therefore, the system infers that this is an incomplete set of exercises.'
Meng Yan was also very curious after hearing Wu Chou's words. At first, he wondered whether the noodle seller had deliberately withheld some key skills and not taught them, saving them in case he turned against her in the future. However, when he recalled the look in the old man's eyes,
Looking forward to it, the young man understood in an instant that the noodle seller was not hiding anything, and she probably didn't have the missing thing.
'What is missing? The moves are already there, but what is missing...the mental technique?'
The moves of this nameless grappling hand are not complicated. There are nine moves here and there. Compared with other grappling hands that have dozens of moves at every turn, it can be said to be quite simple and easy to learn. However, something like the grappling hand is not as good as
Sword tactics and sword tactics are usually not driven by mental techniques. If additional mental techniques are needed, the original appearance of this thing is definitely not a grappler.
'Perhaps, among various hypotheses, the most likely one is that if you have high energy in your hands, these locking and slapping movements will become meaningful. All weapons must touch you.
Get out of the way or you'll burn or burn it.'
As Wu Chou explained, a picture gradually appeared in front of Meng Yan's eyes. A man's hands were red, burning with blazing flames. He was flying and flapping. All the weapons melted at the touch. Tens of thousands of soldiers were transformed. In this world, with weapons, you can run rampant.
In this era, this kind of strange martial arts is indeed of extraordinary value.
Suddenly, Meng Yan's body trembled, and he thought of another possibility. If it weren't for the fact that he had repeatedly thought about this problem a while ago, he wouldn't have made the connection so quickly now, but now, he felt that this was the answer he was looking for.
'Wuchou, the real purpose of this thing is not for fighting, right?'
'As you can see, the original appearance of this set of grappling hands should be some kind of weapon-smelting hand, iron-smelting hand and other skills. It was developed by a forger with extremely high martial arts skills, burning iron to melt soldiers, controlling fire with bare hands, and forging.
The superior divine weapon is also the nemesis of all weapons.'
'I remember reading the literature in the library. Many sects with fire attributes have carried out similar development, but they are stuck in the difficulty of energy concentration and divergence. No sect has succeeded in at least a thousand years. This
This technology does not exist in the world at present, it can only be regarded as a phantom magical skill.'
'Yes, but if the time is traced back more than a thousand years, there will be similar records. Although it is still very phantom, it is not impossible that it once existed.'
‘...You mean, this set of weapon-refining hands was inherited from thousands of years ago? So long ago?’
Meng Yan was a little surprised, but it provoked Wu Chou's ridicule, "Compared with the ones you saw in the mountains before, which took millions of years and tens of millions of years to start, it only took a thousand years, but only a moment. What's so surprising about it?"
Woolen cloth?'
Having said this, Meng Yan thought about it, and no matter how prominent the background of this set of exercises was, the fact before him was that this thing was missing the core part, the most important exercises were missing, and only the techniques were left, at most.
It's just for show, it's of no use at all.
'Wuchou, although there is no core technique, but... it is simply a technique. This is also a kind of data, right? Can it be calculated?'
'We have just done it for you. After calculation, although the replacement rate is not very ideal, we can design a replacement with 40% of the effect of the original method. The training time is super saving, and it is controlled by the system. You have now practiced it.
It's done.'
‘Sure enough, it is a great time-saving thing, but the replacement effect is only 40%? What can such a weak thing do?’
'The replacement rate of 40% is barely enough. It is enough to bring the dreamy skill of weapon refining hand back to the world. It will not be a problem to destroy weapons below the marrow cleansing level in battle. If it is combined with other techniques, it can lead to refining the sun fire essence.
, it can make up for the replacement rate to 60%, but that’s the most it can do.'
'Sunfire spirit?'

Fire requires at least an expert above the emperor level, let alone further refine it into fine crystals. In today's world where gods disappear and emperors disappear, I am afraid no one has the ability to refine such high-grade goods as sun fire essence.
'Actually... it's not that difficult. There is a technology in the system that uses glass mirrors to collect real fire from the sun. Why don't you give it a try?'
