“Please stop,Jie was horrified

“Enough terand dao Tortoise or Black Tortoise Fist, whatever, one just needs to understand its essences to reach the right path” Li Qiye said

The two feltabout their patriarch They carefully thought about his words

“Tortoise Fist is an important foundation block of your patriarch, make use of it more” Li Qiye told thein of this move but there was no record of it

“Absolutely”

The patriarch had indeed created this merit law Or rather, it would bedown of instincts

A turtle at birth would stretch its head, s, and carry its shell - all instincts As the patriarch gradually gained intelligence, it practiced these ood teacher and didn’t kno to do so until it ht it how to refine its movements This culminated into a o andit up It didn’t sound cool to let others know about their patriarch’s origin Thus, they started spreading the Black Tortoise narrative

This otten The future descendants didn’t wish to train it

The two re the name aside, just three movements What could this actually do?

“South Fence is derived fros include a turtle, a tortoise, and everything else With enough training, even a tortoise can become a Black Tortoise So tell me, what’s better than your patriarch’s initial ot it so far?” Li Qiye said

Fuyou becaht about it and maybe this orth a shot for the children

“One little turtle , but a dozen? They will eventually grow up too The shell of one turtle has its lih would that be?” Li Qiye elaborated

The two quietly listened

“Nohat if these turtles turn into Black Tortoises? Iine the potential result” Li Qiye finished

“Is this possible? Reaching that level?” Fuyou still wasn’t sure

“Your patriarch did it, going froular turtle to a so-called Black Tortoise” Li Qiye laughed

“Okay, okay, we get it!” The two becaain

“Well, I don’t care, your choice whether to teach thelances This was a serious choice because it pertained to the children’s future

1 This is a hard one to translate theacross Unlike the other divine beasts, Black Tortoise’s characters actually don't have the word turtle/tortoise in it It consists of xuan (black) and wu (martial) Everyone knows that xuan wu = black tortoise autoer, azure dragon, and ver character - Hu for tiger, Long for dragon, and Que for bird So in Chinese, the character for turtle actually has a negative connotation, especially for this fist - wang Ba It can mean tortoise; cuckold; (insult with the flavor of bastard, son of a bitch) That’s ang Ba Fist just sounds so silly No one wants to learn a technique with this naet Tortoise Fist which isn’t as bad The problem will be with the next line

2 Continuation of the previous note So for this name, it is Xuan Wu Fist, or Black Tortoise Fist This one doesn’t have the sa Ba Fist However, how do I actually translate this toXuan Wu neutral? The first obvious one is Tortoise versus Black Tortoise There’s virtually no changes there I’ve spent 20It will just have to be Tortoise versus Black Tortoise with the context in the note

3 Yeah the impact just isn’t there with Tortoise and Black Tortoise
