Chapter 451 Goodbye Old Boxing God
Chapter 451 Goodbye Old Boxing God
Although most of the “special abilities” possessed by the Demon Hunter are just “basic abilities” at the Great Impermanence stage, it does not mean that “special abilities” no longer exist at this stage.
The divination of the hexagram master and the power of the life turbidity to make everything decay and decay are their abilities that are different from other great impermanence. Although I can only manipulate ordinary flames, I also have the ability to refine the enemy’s soul into “slag”.
But I have never heard of the special ability of the old boxing god. According to the general impression, the old boxing god is an extremely physical enhancement type. His strength can easily throw mountains, and on the road to growth, he can kill the monsters and demon hunters he encounters with just his “fists and feet”.
In the historical records, he has never shown any power that can be called “special ability”, everything is basic attributes. He has never mentioned a word in public.
“This is something my wife mentioned to me before she passed away. The old fist god has some special abilities.” Yuchi said, “Generally speaking, the unique attributes, talents, and abilities of demon hunters are all reflections of their minds by magic power. Not all demon hunters can possess special powers. Even if they can, they will only show up during the growth process.
“But the old Fist God is a little different. His special ability only appeared after he became the most powerful Impermanence in Luoshan. As for the specific content, Qilin doesn’t know, and I don’t know either.
“The old Fist God seems to have deliberately concealed the information about this special ability. If Qilin was not his apprentice, perhaps he would not even know that he had special abilities.”
I tried to speculate: “Could it be because this ability is the type that would be easily targeted if others knew the details? … No, that’s not right… The old boxing god would not hide his ability for that reason.”
Although I have only met him once, in my opinion, the old boxing god is just like the many rumors about him, he is the type who likes to defeat his opponents in a fair and honest manner.
If he is in a weak position and in the position of a challenger, he may use some tactics, but he will not use poison or traps, nor will he use props to defeat the enemy; if he is in a strong position and in the position of a challenger, he will not even use tactics, but will put all his cards on the table and face the challenge of others with dignity.
This is the personality of a strong man. He is the type who enjoys fighting. When he is weak, he uses tactics to create opportunities to fight against strong enemies. When he is strong, he gives up tactics because it reduces the enemy’s chances of fighting against him.
Such a person would not play with the “information gap” while possessing the strongest power. On the contrary, I highly doubt that he would explain his abilities to the challenger during the battle, so as to prevent the opponent from making a wrong judgment at the first step in the battle and being defeated instantly before he has a chance to show his excellence.
Although our motivations are different, I used to like explaining my methods when I had a great advantage in battle, and was even lectured by Zhu Shi in a harsh tone.
As for the reason why the old boxing god concealed the information about his own abilities, I can only come up with one conclusion at the moment, which is that he believed that revealing the information about his special abilities would be disadvantageous to opponents who wanted to challenge him in the future.
Could it be that this is a special ability at the information level, with the property of “just knowing its content will put you in danger”? To be honest, this type of special ability does not fit the image of the old boxing god; or is the nature of this ability “after being exposed, it will increase your strength”? It always feels a bit wrong, it doesn’t seem like the special ability that the old boxing god will show after becoming the strongest.
Or is it that the old boxing god hates his special abilities just because they don’t match his own temperament, and hates them to the point where he doesn’t even want to say them out loud?
“Although I don’t want to admit it, he is definitely not someone who would conceal his abilities just to protect his position as the strongest.” Yuchi said unwillingly, “I collected a lot of clues to speculate on his special abilities, but I can only barely confirm one thing, that is, he seems to be able to break through the laws of gravity and repulsion in the weird world.
“In other words, he doesn’t need to worry about attracting weird things, nor does he need to worry about being rejected by the weird world. He doesn’t need to accumulate any anchors or fate, and can travel between the weird world and the common sense world in an ordinary way.
“It’s just that I don’t know whether this is his personal special ability or the common characteristic of the Great Impermanence that opened the third door. There are too few records left about the third door in history. In Luoshan at present, he is the only one who opened the third door…”
Yuchi looked thoughtful.
Ten minutes later, I heard the answer from him.
“——It’s the latter.” He said so. After Yuchi and I had talked for a while, Yuchi said he wanted to see Qilin’s tombstone. If I didn’t follow him, it would be against the rules for him to enter the Great Impermanence Tomb, so I would just do him a favor and accompany him on the trip.
After arriving at the place where the Qilin tombstone was located, we saw a figure who had arrived there first. The old fist god, who had not shown up at Shenzhao’s funeral ceremony, actually appeared in the Da Wuchang Tomb Area, seemingly coming here specifically to see the tombstone of his deceased apprentice.
He said this as soon as he opened his mouth, and then continued: “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to listen to your conversation. It’s just that I can hear most of what happens on this planet.
“The reason I know you are a ‘spiritual manifestation’ is because Mingzhu mentioned it when we were fighting. Although I usually don’t listen to everything, you guys were fighting so lively at the time that I couldn’t help but pay attention. As for what happened just now, it was purely because you were nearby, so I happened to hear it.”
Yuchi said like a cat with its fur standing on end: “Old Fist God… why are you here!?”
“Qilin is not only your wife, but also my adopted daughter and apprentice. Why can’t I come to sweep her grave?” The old fist god said as a matter of course, “Or are you asking why I wasn’t at Shenzhao’s funeral? In fact, I also attended Shenzhao’s funeral before, but I was worried that if I showed up, it would cause trouble for those who were maintaining order at the scene, so I avoided being seen for a while.”
Luoshan has a strong admiration for the strong, and the old boxing god, as the most powerful impermanence in Luoshan, rarely shows up, so once he appears in front of everyone, he will become very eye-catching. It doesn’t matter at other times, but now it’s Shenzhao’s funeral, and he doesn’t seem to want to steal the show and cause chaos on the scene.
I thought he was a more self-centered person, but now it seems that he has a lot of common sense. Or rather, he is seriously trying to be a common-sense person.
However, when I think of the things he had done in the past that were contrary to normal values, I couldn’t help but feel a strong sense of dislocation.
Also, he said that as long as you break through the third door, you can break through the gravity and repulsion of the strange world… In other words, you can completely overcome the phenomenon of loss?
Yuchi looked at the old boxing god and said with great disgust: “Don’t you care about your daughter Qilin at all? You can raise her if you want, kill her if you want, and punch her to death if you are unhappy… Do you still want to pretend to be a good father and a good master now?”
“What you said is really nonsense. Now that Qilin is dead, I naturally feel sad and lonely, and I also want to come to her tombstone to mourn. I guess most people in the world feel the same way about their deceased relatives, right? It’s human nature.” The old boxing god was calm.
“In other words, you finally realized that you were wrong, felt guilty, and wanted to confess in front of the tombstone of your daughter who died tragically under your fist?” Yuchi said sarcastically.
The old boxing god looked at him in bewilderment and said, “Sin? Tragic death? What are you talking about… Qilin had a good death.”
“Fuck your good death!” Yuchi cursed.
The communication between these two people always seems to be out of the same channel.
I intervened in their conversation.
“By the way…why did you rename your apprentice and adopted daughter ‘Qilin’?” I asked.
“Why? This question is a little difficult to answer. Although I chose this name on purpose, if you ask me what my state of mind was at the time…” The old boxing god thought for a while and said, “For me at the time, Shan Liangyi was both an enemy that blocked my path to martial arts and made me furious, and a mountain that I wanted to surpass. Therefore, when I chose this name, I had the idea of revenge on Shan Liangyi in my mind, but also the hope that Qilin could surpass me and Shan Liangyi in the future.
“And since you asked this question, it means that you have realized Shan Liangyi’s zodiac sign, right?”
“It was just speculation at first, but now it’s half confirmed – that is, the attribute part.” I said, “Just like us, the descendants of Liangyi, Shan Liangyi also has corresponding five elements attributes, and it’s even possible that we can restrain and block it.”
