Two-Faced Waterbird Fist

The Two-Faced Waterbird Fist was a basic secret skill, created by Garen, it had some strange killing moves, but it was not the full set of martial arts, so it was perfectly capable of absorbing their individual comprehension and combat styles, forming their own personal Two-Faced Waterbird Fist.

Garen had divided this simple yet overpowering secret skill into four levels, extending from the **Illusory Spinning White Jade**, they were **Jade**, **White**, **Illusion**, and **Spin**, the words representing levels one to four in reverse order.

Its ultimate level and most powerful techniques are called Waterbird Fist.

## Overview

After some deliberation and time, Garen had arranged a new special secret skill from scratch, just like Nighthawk and co’s Shooting Shadow Secret Skill -- the Two-Faced Waterbird Fist.

This was the unique secret skill he had invented after taking some inspiration from the White Bird Holy Fist.

Upon activation, matching it with some special skills and moves, would allow the user’s hands to create an intensely powerful internal jolting effect to inflict harm on the enemy.

It was just like how he merely had to move his hands lightly to easily defeat the six top fighters in the combat club. The power of this secret skill lay in the user’s hands, upon activation, they would become a powerful lethal weapon that even he could not control, if the power was not controlled enough, just a touch would be enough to easily incapacitate someone. But at the same time, it looked light and beautiful, the instant it injured the enemy was as light as a waterbird touching the surface of the water.

This secret skill was even stronger than Nighthawk’s Shooting Shadow Secret Skill. After activating it, the user’s speed, strength, and reflexes would simultaneously double, the strongest was the Waterbird Fist’s internal force, gathering in the arms with great destructive power, he just needed to touch the enemy with one finger, and it was very likely he could kill the enemy invisibly. Used well, it could even kill someone easily with the touch of a finger, by making them die to an internal wound like bleeding in the brain. Soundless, everyone none the wiser.

Of course, the side effects would naturally also be more terrifying, it was a shortcut that could instantaneously increase someone’s power dramatically, so naturally there would be a terrifying price to pay.

Anyone who successfully practiced the Two-Faced Waterbird Fist could not let themselves stop, if they ever wanted to stop and give up, then after a certain time, the side effects would manifest, bringing the practitioner an intense and unbearable pain and itchiness all over their body. That sensation was several times worse than a regular skin disease, it was a powerful punishment applied directly to the nerve endings deep in the body.

If the practitioner still insisted on stopping, then the internal force created from the Two-Faced Waterbird Fist would backfire, and the practitioner’s blood vessels would continuously explode and split, the efficiency of their organs rapidly declining, and they would age quickly, their life fading away, until finally they died from a loss of essential blood.

As with the Shooting Shadow Secret Technique, this secret skill also needed Garen's primer, every so often, Garen needed to give the practitioners a primer, to suppress the internal force of the Two-Faced Waterbird Fist in their bodies that was going to run wild. To use this shortcut to obtain immense power, but without a body that could properly withstand this power, they would naturally need external suppression.

This secret skill was a terrifying technique derived from the Slaughtering Hand Demonic Technique, if they were in the Secret Technique World, this secret skill would probably be a third-grade secret technique, like the Mammoth Secret Technique, but to the people of this world, the power of this secret skill was indeed far stronger than most normal people could imagine.

Since it was born from the Slaughtering Hand, only the primer formed by Garen, the strongest person who unifies the entire system, that was mixed with the aura from his Soul Seed, can properly suppress this internal force. That was why this secret skill was basically a tailor-made power system for him to control his subordinates.

Once the practitioner accepted his primer and successfully trained that skill, then the aura integrated into Garen's soul could easily affect the practitioner’s life, or even control their body and will.

The secret skill Two-Faced Waterbird Fist was not like the Shooting Shadow, the more they practiced this secret skill, the more they needed Garen to personally give them a primer, to suppress the Waterbird Fist’s internal forces as it grows stronger, otherwise there was the chance that they would die from internal bleeding, pain all over their bodies, and the general weakening of their bodily functions.

In other words, once they started learning this secret skill, they could not stop, if they stopped, they could trigger the side effects, and they had to continuously train in the ways of the secret skill, whether they improve or not.

Even if someone with great talent appeared, and trained to a high level, the effect of the secret skill was precisely that the higher they trained, the more they relied on Garen’s primer, and the more they were controlled by him.

## Training Methods

### Activation Method

Garen looked at the eight of them in front of him, all dog tired, and two of the mansion’s servants were serving them water, slightly salty water that had salt added to it. "Now that that’s done, let’s start." "N-Now?" Jamie asked, panting. He bent his waist, his hands on his knees, his sweat dripping down his chin.

"Of course…" As soon as he finished speaking, Garen's figure instantly flashed, appearing beside Jamie, the five fingers on his right hand as though playing a piano, instantaneously hitting several tens of pressure points on his back. He was so fast that his fingers made just three crisp sounds. Smack! Smack! Smack! Nobody could see how Garen's fingers moved, they just saw a shadow flash past Jamie’s back.

"Close your eyes and feel it!" Garen's figure flashed towards the rest of them like lightning, and the series of crisp sounds kept coming. "Pay attention and feel the qi pathways in your body!!" His voice was like a clap of thunder, transmitted straight into their ears. The two servants at the side were completely dazed, the way they saw it, it was only as though Garen had walked a circle between the eight of them, because it was on their backs, they could not see Garen's movements either.

Garen purposely avoided the cameras and the servants’ gazes, using a secret hand technique to insert a wisp of his primer aura, creating a wisp of power inside their bodies, and leading it to flow according to the path of the Two-Faced Waterbird Fist. His aura right now could affect actual things, not like the Grandmasters of Combat in the Secret Technique World that could only affect the spirits of creatures, so he was perfectly capable of triggering their bodies, and channeling the flow of the force.

"Feel the flow of the force, don’t forget it!" After walking one round, Garen returned to his original position, and watched as the eight of them sat down one by one, their whole bodies stiff, their eyes closed as they tried to feel the changes in their bodies.

It was high noon, the sun at two o’clock unnaturally hot, and all eight of them sweated drastically, but none of them dared to open their eyes or say anything, all of them were extremely cautious, terrified that the movement and force inside their bodies would suddenly vanish. After a full dozen minutes or so, they opened their eyes slowly, each of them with energetic gazes, as though they had recovered all of the stamina they had just spent.

"Miraculous! This is too miraculous!!" Jamie murmured, he gripped his fist, and released it again lightly, "I feel as though all my stamina has returned. Just in that little bit of time…!"

"Is this the true secret of the Two-Faced Extermination? That stance and move that do not obey the laws of physics at all!?" Quentin’s eyes were full of irrepressible awe. She had never thought that there was this side to combat, that feeling when she closed her eyes, and that sensation when her consciousness was guided everywhere by that icy-cold qi, it was like making love, no, compared to pure physical gratification, this feeling was even more intoxicating!

It was not just her, even Dahm seemed to be drooling, his whole body shaking, that feeling was even more satisfying than taking drugs, so much so that he did not want to leave it at all. "That felt too good…"

## Illusory Spinning White Jade

Garen’s eyes curved, like two crescent moons, and they seemed to be emitting a unique magic to all eight of them here. He spoke in a hoarse, magnetic voice. "Look carefully…"

"This is the basic core of the Two-Faced Waterbird Fist…" He raised his arms slowly, drawing out two straight lines in front of him, and when he reached his lower abdomen, his forearm suddenly folded outwards, as though he was hugging someone, or as though he was a veiled woman slowly spreading open her arms.

In that instant, they watched his arms move at a speed that was neither fast nor slow, yet it seemed to bring out countless after-images, blurring their eyes, making them extremely dizzy and nauseous. "**Illusory Spinning White Jade.**" Garen’s voice seemed to come from the distance, floaty and unfocused.

All eight of them watched his movements with bleary eyes, in that instance, it was as though all of Garen’s skin was glowing with a white light, they knew perfectly well that it was a trick of the mind, but they still could not help but hallucinate. In that instant, the eight of them felt as though time had slowed down, their senses instantly slowing and dulling, as though they were in a dream.

The foundation of the Illusory Spinning White Jade was being able to feel the internal force in one’s body that seemed to channel and flow, but it also seemed to be an illusion, both there and not, after the force was successfully guided, all of one’s skin would glow with a bleary jade-like color.

Garen had divided this simple yet overpowering secret skill into four levels, extending from the Illusory Spinning White Jade, they were **Jade**, **White**, **Illusion**, and **Spin**, the words representing levels one to four in reverse order.

#### Experiences

It had been half a month since the day Garen taught them the Two-Faced Waterbird Fist, and in this half a month’s time, the eight of them did not get any more pointers from Garen, they were just asked to keep remembering the images they had of that moment.

Hochman pushed the glasses on his nose, narrowing his eyes as he remembered the core of that perfect stance Garen had demonstrated that day. "**Illusory Spinning White Jade…**" he murmured softly, but strangely, no matter he thought of that posture, he just could not picture it clearly. Similarly, no matter how he tried to ignore it, the memory just would not go away. Like a seed covered in a white veil, it was planted deep in his heart.

For some reason, he only had one impression of that stance in his heart, that of danger, a bewitching danger. "Interesting… How very interesting, hahahaha…" Hochman could not hold back the excitement in his heart, it was as though there was a brand new world in front of him. That feeling of discovery and anticipation, and that intense pleasure from that first guidance, all of it made him sink deeply into it, as though hooked.

Before he knew it, he began to stand by the lakeside alone, mimicking Garen’s pose from that day. But no matter what, he simply could not trigger the internal force inside his body into moving.

Hochman stood on by the lakeside reminiscing over and over again, mimicking Garen, and slowly, his stance became more and more similar, more and more strange. Only he himself did not notice, unlike Garen’s **Illusory Spinning White Jade**, his stance was less demonic and strange, but slightly more domineering.

## Waterbird Fist

Is the name given to each of the Secret Techniques that are derived from the **Two-Faced Waterbird Fist** or its **Profound Techniques**.

## "History"

"What I will teach you now, is an extremely powerful secret skill that I know, a so-called secret skill, is a powerful skill that should be kept secret. The reason why it should be kept secret, and in fact should not be used often, is because it is too powerful, its destructive power is too brutal, and in ancient times it was considered evil or demonic, a terrifying form of martial arts invented specifically to hunt down and kill people. Of course, times have changed, and as the years passed, this secret skill had also slowly cut down on the killing techniques, and become more focused on strengthening the user’s own body, eventually turning into this peak-level skill I have here."

"Killing martial arts… I like it… Hehe." There was a nearly perverse passion rising in Hochman’s eyes behind the glasses. "Isn’t the very fabric of martial arts and combat meant to kill others?"

"That is true." Garen nodded, "I’m telling you all this, just so that you understand the roots, and the strength of this secret skill lies in that it can maximize the potential within the human body, turning it into destructive power." Looking at the little lambs in front of him, a hint of sympathy flashed through Garen’s heart.

The passion in their hearts had already been utterly ignited by his words, when Garen designed this secret skill, he had sacrificed some of the agility in order to create that intense feeling of pleasure, and now it seemed to be worth it, even the weakest-willed Dahm had instantly thrown away everything else, becoming a rabid fan of this secret skill. Seeing the hesitation in Cece’s eyes, she seemed to be hesitant towards evil or demonic arts.

"Actually, in the society now, the true power lies in guns, and there’s less and less place for martial arts to survive, as the heir to an ancient martial arts, even if it is evil or demonic, I can’t stand to see it disappear just like that, and be lost forever to history." Garen said, his tone sad and pitying.

"That’s why I plan to break the rule that it can only be passed down to one person at a time, I will pass it to you all, so that this ultimate skill is not lost from my hands." He heaved a long sigh, his glowing image immediately causing the others to idolize him.

"Now, I will officially teach you the basic moves of this martial arts, remember, you must channel that wisp of force in your bodies as you practice these moves, and continuously make it stronger, there’s also a breathing method here to match, you all must remember it carefully."

"What’s the name of this skill we’re learning? Is it the Two-Faced Extermination?" Quentin asked. "The Two-Faced Extermination is just one of the moves." Garen smiled mysteriously, "It’s called, the Two-Faced Waterbird Fist…" "Waterbird… The Two-Faced Waterbird Fist…"

## Evolution

This secret technique is fused with the Fantasy Fist to form a top class technique the Mirage Waterbird Fist.----
