Chapter 1267: The Haima Tribe"s First Qi Skill

Lin Mu"s eyes widened as he gazed at his handiwork.

"This is a little too effective, isn"t it?" Lin Mu was not expecting such a great difference.

The amount of spirit Qi he had used in this was quite less. It could roughly compare to that of a low grade spirit stone. It was frankly more than should have been possible for the technique.

"Hmm… it should be the added weight of my body and just the general toughness." Lin Mu guessed.

There were bound to be a lot of actual difference when one cultivated a technique. These were the normal variations that were simply unavoidable and were actually quiet important in the long run.

Many techniques and skills made by cultivators had actually arisen out of preexisting techniques that showed natural variations in different cultivators. The talented ones could take these minor variations and turn them into something great.

Lin Mu had set out to make the Bronze Might Kicking technique compatible and optimized for the Haima tribe, so this discovery was useful for him.

"The Haima people also have tougher bodies with good vitality, while the effect won"t be as strong, it should still be decent." Lin Mu reckoned.

The next part that he needed to deal with was the way the spirit Qi gained momentum in the Dantian. The Haima people had a different styled Dantian. Instead of being just a single vessel, it was three lobed.

The biggest and main lobe of the Dantian was the same as any other, but the two smaller lobes that were attached to it were a quarter of the main. This meant that the Haima tribe effectively had one and a half times larger Dantians than the average expert.

But it also meant that spirit Qi wouldn"t gain momentum the same way it would in a normal Dantian. The circ.u.mference of the spinning spirit Qi would touch the two lobes, and would get disturbed because of its walls.

There were three methods that Lin Mu could come up with at the start.

The first was to simply keep the circ.u.mference small such that it never touched the walls. But this meant that the full potential of the technique would not be utilized.

The second method was to simply have a Dantian that was large. That way, even if they didn"t fully expand the circ.u.mference, the impact would still be the same or greater. This came with restrictions and only talented members with higher cultivation base would be able to do it.

It was against the original goal of Lin Mu of allowing anyone from the Haima tribe use it.

The third solution Lin Mu came up with was a simple yet difficult to implement. It involved creating not one, but three such spinning sets of spirit Qi. There would be one of such in every lobe and its size could also be adjusted accordingly.

That way, while the circ.u.mference would be smaller, when the momentum from all three lobes was combined it would be greater than just a single Dantian. This method came with the greatest benefit and optimization but also needed the user to be skilled at controlling spirit Qi.

Lin Mu pondered over it for a bit before deciding on the third solution.

"With their talent and dedication, they should be able to execute the third method successful. Besides, it isn"t like they just have to start from that. They can start with the first method and when they feel that they could control more, they would expand to other lobes." Lin Mu a.n.a.lyzed.

Now that he had a direction, Lin Mu got to modifying the formula and spent about five days in making it. There were many fine changes he had to made as the Haima tribe had two sets of legs, making the force to be split.

Lin Mu made it so that the could either use both legs at once, or channel the entire momentum into just a single leg for an even greater impact. Then on the sixth day, Lin Mu finally looked at his result.

"Time to test it out." Lin Mu quickly called one of the warriors standing near his residence.

"What do you me to do n.o.ble Lin Mu?" The warrior asked.

"I have a Qi skill that your tribe should be able to use." Lin Mu said before explaining the skill to the man.

It took a few minutes for the man to memorize it, but he was ready to perform it right away.

"Let"s go to the backyard." Lin Mu said, recalling the crack he had put on the ground there.

He didn"t want a crack to be put on the floor of his residence even if it might be smaller.

"I"m ready," The Haima warrior said and stood in the posture.

It was even easier for them since they had extra legs to balance. The warrior merely lifted one of his left legs and took a deep breath. A stream of dense spirit Qi quickly entered his lungs and then into his meridians.

The Haima tribe members were now greatly used to the breathing technique that Lin Mu had taught them, thus doing something like this was easy. Once that stream of spirit Qi entered his Dantian it quickly spun in the main lobe in a small circle.

It momentum increased as more and more spirit Qi joined it, being pulled into the vortex.

Lin Mu"s spirit sense was observing everything, noting fine differences and errors that occurred. These might not affect the utilization of the skill, but once the errors were hammered out and the flow optimized, the final result would be even better.

After all, even if the difference was as small as 0.5%, that little fraction could spell the difference between life and death during a battle.

~SHUA~

Finally, the vortex reached a sufficient circ.u.mference and the warrior channels the spirit Qi into his leg. Intense wave of spirit Qi rose from it as a layer of bronze light appeared.

~KACHA~

The warrior kicked and struck the ground, directly burying it half way to his knee!
