Chapter 193: The Powerful Vajra Palm vs. the Great Compassionate Palm
Monk Huizhen's figure gradually blended into the crowd, and his frustration cast a shadow in everyone's heart.
There was a lot of discussion around, but the focus had shifted to Monk Huichen who was about to appear.
However, Huichen's test results were equally disappointing. The weak water waves were almost imperceptible and exceeded one meter, once again plunging Luohan Hall into silence.
This time the silence was without the previous ridicule, but was replaced by a deep understanding of the difficulty of the test.
The monks looked at each other, wondering if they could do better.
As the test continued, the monks came forward one by one to try, but no matter how hard they tried, they were unable to push the water waves more than two meters away.
There was a depressing atmosphere in the Arhat Hall, and everyone's face was filled with solemnity and anxiety.
At this moment, Huiyuan, the strongest monk of the younger generation, finally appeared.
His appearance seemed to bring a glimmer of life to this lifeless space.
The monks all looked at him expectantly, and some even began to discuss in low voices, believing that Huiyuan would be able to break the deadlock and save face for Bailin Temple.
"Senior Brother Huiyuan is finally here. He is the absolute best among the monks. He can do it." There was some excitement and admiration in the voice of a monk.
"That's right. Brother Huiyuan's strength is obvious to all. If even he can't do it, then no one in our younger generation can do it." Another monk echoed.
However, amidst the expectations and praise, there are also some different voices.
Someone mentioned a fight between Huiyuan and Huineng two years ago at a small waterfall in the back mountain. Although the authenticity of the news could not be verified, it was enough to arouse curiosity and speculation among the monks present.
"I heard that it was a evenly matched duel, and Senior Brother Huiyuan and Junior Brother Huineng ended in a draw." Although the voice was not loud, it was enough to attract everyone's attention.
"Draw? Are you sure?" someone asked curiously.
“Well… the source of the news is unknown, so it’s hard to tell whether it’s true or not.
But no matter what, Brother Huiyuan is definitely one of the best."
As Huiyuan stepped forward to prepare for the test, the entire Arhat Hall once again fell into an atmosphere of tension and expectation.
Everyone held their breath, wanting to witness the amazing performance of this young and strongest monk.
After Huiyuan took his position, he nodded to King Liehai beside him, indicating that he was about to begin.
Monk Huiyuan's feet were firmly rooted to the ground, with his legs slightly bent.
Let your hands hang naturally on both sides of your body, palms facing inward, fingertips lightly touching the seam of your trousers, breathe long and deep, and gradually tense up the muscles of your whole body, ready to go.
At this moment, his mind was clear, all distracting thoughts disappeared, and he became one with martial arts.
With a light shout from Monk Huiyuan, the true energy in his body seemed to be ignited instantly, and began to flow violently along the eight extraordinary meridians.
This power gathered between his palms, causing his palms to gradually turn red, as if there was a flame burning inside.
He slowly raised his arms, with his palms facing each other and his fingertips slightly curled up, forming a perfect semicircle, as if a vajra was about to break out of the ground, unstoppable.
At this moment, Monk Huiyuan suddenly pushed his palms forward at a speed as fast as lightning across the sky; with such force that it seemed to be able to shake the mountains and rivers.
His palms drew a brilliant trajectory in the air, accompanied by a low roar, and a powerful air wave spread out in all directions with him as the center, even the air was torn apart by this force.
The power of the Vajra Palm was fully demonstrated at this moment.
"boom!"
"Clatter..."
This time, the waves in the copper basin were unprecedentedly turbulent. Not only did they easily break through the two-meter limit, they also continued to advance forward with unstoppable force.
Finally, in full view of everyone, it actually hit the other end of the copper basin.
Lie Haiwang's voice sounded again, "Huiyuan, twelve meters."
At the same time, it also ignited the enthusiasm and hope in Luohan Hall.
The monks began to discuss again.
"Too amazing! You are worthy of being the strongest monk. I think Brother Huiyuan will definitely take first place in this test!"
"This is a foregone conclusion. Most of the monks have already appeared, and there are only a few left."
"No, it seems that Junior Brother Huineng hasn't come up yet."
"Ah! Speak of the devil and he will appear. Look, Junior Brother Huineng is here."
At this time, the bald Luo Hao (also known as Huineng) walked to the huge copper plate, clasped his hands together and bowed to King Liehai: "Amitabha, King Hai, then I will begin."
Huineng stood in front of the huge bronze basin, surrounded by a faint sense of Zen and indescribable majesty.
As the thought of compassion surged in his heart, he slowly raised his hands, palms facing each other, as if to receive the purest power of compassion between heaven and earth.
Then, Monk Huineng closed his eyes slightly, and his brows revealed an otherworldly tranquility.
He took a deep breath, and his Qi sank into his Dantian. The Qi in his body surged like a river, gathering between his palms.
In an instant, the wind around him seemed to stop, leaving only the faint sound of the blood surging in his body.
Suddenly, Huineng's eyes opened wide, and a bright light shone in his eyes, as if the Buddha had descended and could see through all the sufferings in the world.
He suddenly pushed out his hands, the palm wind whistled, carrying a warm and powerful force, and he said: "Palm of Great Compassion".
This palm was neither extremely fierce nor gentle and lingering, but contained endless compassion and wisdom.
Wherever the palm wind passed, there was vitality, and even the air was infected by this power, becoming soft and peaceful.
The palm wind eventually turned into circles of faint golden ripples, slowly spreading around.
Everyone who is touched by it feels a warm and profound compassion, and all distracting thoughts disappear, leaving only tranquility and peace.
After Monk Huineng finished this palm strike, he slowly retracted his body, with his palms hanging lightly on both sides, and he returned to his extraordinary, calm and composed appearance.
However, the indescribable power of compassion still echoes in the air, which makes people feel awe and warmth.
However, after Bald Luo Hao (Hui Neng) performed the Great Compassion Palm, the water in the huge copper basin did not react at all.
At this time, discussions and ridicules arose.
"Hui Neng's palm of great compassion is just for show, it actually has no power at all. Look at the water in the copper basin, it's not moving at all!"
"Yes! Yes! I thought he was really capable, but I didn't expect he was just a trickster!"
At this moment, someone shouted, "Hui Neng, stop embarrassing yourself here, get out of here!"
But just as everyone was talking, the copper basin suddenly made a buzzing sound, and the entire basin began to vibrate slightly.
Without any warning, a tiny ripple slowly emerged from one end of the huge copper basin.
