Out of forty-two martial arts disciplines, Zhao Xuan carefully selected four distinct ones to prioritize. Simply put, they fell into four categories: evasion, escape, defense, and combat. For evasion, there was the *Turtle Spirit Palm*. The *Turtle Spirit Palm* possessed three traits: "Turtle Breath," "Spirit Perception," and "Longevity." The "Longevity" trait extended one's life by twenty years, something most people would love, but Zhao Xuan was young, so it was of little consequence to him. "Spirit Perception" gave a certain probability of foreseeing danger, which was equally dispensable—what was one supposed to do when it failed? Wait to die? Only "Turtle Breath" truly suited his intentions. First, for evasion: once danger was detected, he could conceal his aura and hide deep within the mountains and forests. Unless an opponent surpassed him by three entire realms, no one would be able to find him. How safe and practical was that? Second, for ambushes: by concealing his aura and lurking in the shadows, catching an opponent off guard, forget about someone in the same realm—even someone a realm higher could easily capsize in a gutter.
