After a few more tests just to make sure, Zhou Fan confirmed that Pan's talent was completely one sided.
When it came to Palm techniques, he was a genius unique throughout heaven and earth. But when it came to every other type of technique, he was as talentless as they came.
It seemed that this wasn't a surprise to Pan at all.
Zhou Fan began to teach him a bunch of palm techniques. Besides the ones too powerful for him to handle, he was able to instantly master and perfect all of them. Afterwards, Zhou Fan simply began to guide him in cultivation. Time passed.
They spent most of their time focusing on the palm techniques. Zhou Fan helped Pan not only learn new ones, but even created some for him. They were perfectly suited to him, and most used the power of Buddhist Qi.
The Buddha came to visit his son often. After all, he was still a young child.
When Pan reached the Void Traversing realm, Zhou Fan sent him out to get some experience in the real world.
Pan, being a Buddhist, would find it hard to cause trouble if he wanted to. Yet trouble managed to find him. One of the main enemies of Buddhist cultivators, demonic cultivators, just so happened to be quite common on the world Pan had entered.
A few months after he joined a Buddhist temple, it was besieged by a few hundred demonic cultivators.
The strongest of them was in the Lesser Dao Creation realm, with a few being in the Space Shattering realm and the rest in the Void Traversing realm. It was a small, yet powerful group of people.
The Buddhist temple of around ten thousand monks struggled to fight back at all. The strongest of them were only in the Space Shattering realm. Only five of them had even achieved that. It seemed that they were going to suffer a crushing defeat until Pan stepped onto the battlefield. Though he had kept a low profile, as almost all Buddhist monks did, he had not hid his realm.
He was only in the Void Traversing realm, and few bothered paying attention to him in the current situation. They were more focused on defending until reinforcements from other temples could arrive.
A silhouette appeared behind Pan. When Zhou Fan had first given him this technique, he had named it the Thousand Palm God. It allowed Pan to control a thousand palms at once, assuming he had enough Qi to support them.
But Pan preferred to use it a bit differently than it was intended. After all, it could only truly show its use when he was a bit stronger.
Pan used it to concentrate on maintaining two palms, dissipating and recreating them when necessary. Like this, the Thousand Palm God technique allowed him to retain some of his Qi, and he could continue fighting for hours on end. The two palms themselves were also quite strong.
One was gold and one was black. The gold one carried a feeling of suppression, while the black one was used to send things flying back.
Pan saw a Space Shattering realm cultivator of the Buddhist temple about to be killed, and the black palm appeared, backhanding the enemy Space Shattering realm cultivator away.
The Space Shattering realm cultivator was not able to resist at all due to the unique knockback power of the black palm. He was sent tumbling into the ground, and Pan chased after him.
The Space Shattering realm demonic cultivator looked up with anger as he saw Pan.
A tiny red spike flew at Pan, no bigger than a needle.
A golden palm appeared in front of Pan, a defensive technique created by Zhou Fan. The needle was caught in between the fingers of the palm, and Pan used his favorite technique.
He smashed his hands together, and at the same time, two palms, one black and one golden, appeared to the sides of the demonic cultivator. Like Pan's hands, they smashed into him.
The sound of bones cracking could be heard clearly. When the palms dissipated, the demonic cultivator's body fell to the ground.
Pan was finally noticed as he stomped and snuffed out the demonic cultivator's life.
Even the Lesser Dao Creation realm cultivator turned towards him with a grim look on his face.
He sent out a wave of Demonic Qi, knocking back his opponents, as he shot towards Pan.
Pan did not back down at all, and was instead excited to face the challenge. He jumped into the air and flew right back at the demonic cultivator.
When they met in the air, Pan let out a small version of the Buddha's palm, just big enough to hit the opponent's entire body. At the same time, the demonic cultivator clasped his hands and pointed two fingers from each hand at Pan.
A small amount of Blood Qi formed a bullet that shot at Pan's Buddha's palm.
Pan's Buddha's palm was pierced, but did not lose form as it hit the demonic cultivator's body without resistance.
The demonic cultivator was sent flying deep underground, while a hole appeared near the waist of Pan. It quickly began to turn black, some sort of poison injected into his body.
Pan did not take it seriously as a light descended. An ethereal palm appeared with a healing light that smashed into his body, only affecting the poison, sending it out of his pores, and injecting a healing light in its place.
As one could see, Zhou Fan had needed to get really creative to ensure Pan had many methods. Luckily, his palm-only talent did not restrict him to a single Qi. But his affinity to Palm Intent was quite incredible.
When the demonic cultivator climbed out of the hole, his hair and clothes disheveled, with patches of blood on them, Pan was waiting for him and his palm connected with his chest, sending poison into the body of the demonic cultivator, as well as sending him stumbling back.
