249 As The Name Implies… The “Blooming Flower Point is… (I)
At five in the afternoon, the five of them parted ways after chatting for the entire afternoon. Nolan and Bai Zhi took Su Mumu to the girls’ dormitory, while Shangguan Yan took Lin Ye to the boys’ dormitory to familiarize himself with the layout and facilities of Tianqi University.
On the road…
“Say…” Lin Ye began with an evil grin on his face,
“What were you two doing in the bathroom for so long?”
“Oh, don’t tell me….”
Shangguan Yan gave him the middle finger with a disdainful look.
“You’re asking the obvious?”
“What the f*ck?” Lin Ye’s eyes widened.
“It’s actually true?”
“City people really are extravagant,”
“Can’t you wait until tonight?”
Shangguan Yan sighed, “It’s not for the reason you’re thinking. It’s because… Do you know that there’s a technique in the ancient martial arts called acupoint striking?”
Lin Ye’s head was full of question marks.
“Acupoints?”
“Isn’t this something used to trick children?”
“In the past, it was fake,” Shangguan Yan said, “but with the arrival of the new era, Professionals who choose martial arts-related Classes, such as martial artists, can learn skills similar to ‘sunflower pressure point hand’ from the skills book.”
“They only need to point their fingers at a fixed acupuncture point on your body to make you fall into a state of paralysis, deep sleep, and other control states.”
“It can even activate your body’s potential, allowing you to obtain buffs that increase all your attributes or suppress your body’s functions, achieving debuffs that decrease all your attributes.”
“And the things in this skill book, after experiments and research, can actually be applied to reality.”
Lin Ye stared at the other young man, intrigued.
“So you mean to say,”
“I can also learn this kind of martial arts technique?”
“Yes,” Shangguan Yan nodded, “But the effect will be weaker.”
“And it requires particularly complicated conditions, such as what your personal level is, what your four-dimensional attributes are, and you must practice martial arts all year round.”
Shangguan Yan suddenly coughed awkwardly.
*Cough*Cough*
“I accidentally hit Nolan’s Blooming Point just now.”
“Flower opening acupoints, “Blooming”. As the name implies, it is to open the flower in the rear court. Otherwise, you will feel extremely uncomfortable.”
“Huh?!” Lin Ye looked at him in surprise.
“Don’t misunderstand!” Shangguan Yan quickly explained,
���I didn’t do it on purpose. I wanted to hit her Sunflower Point so that she couldn’t move for a short time. I didn’t expect my skill to be so bad that I hit the wrong place!”
“You saw it!”
“Nolan is extremely curious about Bai Zhi’s Awakened Talent. If she continues to ask, added with Bai Zhi’s weak and indecisive personality, she will definitely not be able to resist and tell her about her Awakened Talent!”
“I’m just trying to help you stop her from seeking death….”
“You’re awesome!” Lin Ye gave him a thumbs up.
“However, we’re all men. We all know that there’s no mistake. It’s just man’s nature!”
“Young man, just admit your dirty thoughts!”
Shangguan Yan was confused then his face turned bright red.
“You—!”
“I shouldn’t have told you!”
After a pause, Shangguan Yan’s expression changed and he became serious once more,
“However, what do you think about the fact that the acupoint technique can be applied in reality…?”
“It’s a little ridiculous.” Lin Ye’s expression also became serious.
“But if you think about it carefully, this kind of thing is normal.”
“Those high-end combat skills, such as blocking and body movement, are very similar to the skills of Professionals. It’s just that they have always existed in reality, so I didn’t think that they were skills extracted from other skills. They are different from this acupuncture technique that should have existed in fantasy.”
“Can’t you tell?”
“Can a Mage’s elemental magic be applied to reality?”
“Even if you don’t have a corresponding Class, you can still learn all the skills, and they don’t count in your skill mechanism, so you won’t be guarded against by the corresponding counter skills.”
“Wait…”
“I remember now!”
“Mumu’s Tree Guardian has the ability to slice through toughness. It can clearly cause a ‘Knock Down’ control effect, but it can’t be dispelled, nor can it be blocked by super armor!”
“The only thing that can limit this control effect is the enemy’s weight and movement technique. If the enemy is either heavy enough or has a good grasp of the center of gravity, he won’t be easily knocked down!”
‘Goodness!’
‘The door to a whole new world had been opened!’
‘To my talent, Universe Reversal, this “skill” that didn’t really have a skill mechanism and couldn’t be reversed was actually a little dangerous,’
“Yes,” Shangguan Yan said, “That’s what I meant.”
“But it’s just a theory, and there aren’t enough examples to prove it. Moreover, these man-made real skills always feel like they are affected by real factors. It’s impossible to copy every skill. I mean, there’s only a handful of some low-level skills that could be replicated without skill books.”
“Who taught you the technique of sealing acupoints?” Lin Ye suddenly asked.
“Nolan,” Shangguan Yan replied, “She was taught by her father.”
“Do they share the same opinion as you?” Lin Ye continued to ask.
“Yep,” Shangguan Yan nodded, “Nolan’s father even published the theory in many cities.”
“But not many people believe it.”
“Even if there are people who believe in it, they will think that this theory is useless. They will only treat it as a casual topic and will not invest in it or research further into it”.
“For example.”
“A Martial Artist’s skill, Acupoint Technique, can take effect as soon as it touches a person. There’s no need to aim at an acupoint. However, this man-made ‘technique’ must be aimed at an acupoint. Otherwise, there will be a mistake of hitting the wrong nerve.”
