Skills

Luo Han Dao Fa - Buddhist Worthy One Saber style. It's Monk Kumu's saber martial art style.

Bi Bo Zhang Fa - Jade Green Waves Palm - One of Peach Blossom Island martial arts. It's the foundation of all Peach Blossom Island martial arts. All disciples must learn this palm technique. It was mimicked by Sha Gu.

LiaoDong Ye Hu Quan Fa - Wild Fox From LiaoDong Fist - It's Liang Ziweng's proud martial art. He created this martial art from inspiration when he saw a hound was fighting with a wild fox on the snow. The fox was very cunning, it leaped to the east and hopped to the west, very quick and agile. Although the hound's claws and teeth were sharp, after battling for a long time it had not scored victory yet. Liang ZiWeng noticed the ability of the fox to jump very high; he got a sudden inspiration. He abandoned his intention to pick ginseng and decided to stay inside a thatched hut on the deep snowy mountain, painstakingly pondering martial art moves for several months. As a result, the Wild Fox From LiaoDong Fist technique was born. The style incorporates four fundamental principles, namely Alert/Quickness (Ling), Dogde (Shan), Pounce (Pu), and Tumble (Die).

Fu Hu Quan - Crouching Tiger Fist - One of Hong QiGong's martial art. He doesn't use this skill as often.

Da Gou Bang - Dog Beating Stick Style - The 36 stances of the Dog Beating Stick style can only be passed down from one Clan Leader to the next without letting anyone else know about the skill. Although the name of the Dog Beating Stick Style was crude, the changes within were subtle and the techniques profound, and was one of the best martial arts skills ever created. It was thus that this skill was passed down like a precious heirloom.

Shuang Shou Hu Bo - (雙手互搏)- Technique of Ambidexterity - Invented by Zhou BoTong during the time he stayed at Peach Blossom Island. The principal of the technique is to dividing one's mind into two. The way to train the technique was by drawing a square with the left hand and a circle with the right hand.

Kong Ming Quan - (七十二路空明拳)- 72 Vacant Fist. Invented by Zhou BoTong whose origins stemmed from the word empty/vacant/open and clear/bright.

Ha Ma Gong - Toad Stance

Ling She Quan - Spirit Snake Fists - One of Ouyang Feng's martial arts. It was developed from the movements of venomous snakes. Hong QiGong downplayed the name of the style to Ruan Pi She - Snake's Flexible Skin Fists during the clash with Ouyang Ke at BaoYing. Ouyang Feng painstakingly created this stance to be used for the Second Sword Meeting on Mount Hua. A snake seems to be boneless and could turn in all directions at will, so the main point of this stance is to be able to twist the arms unpredictably, so that when the opponent blocks the fists, the exponent would be able to throw out a punch from an unexpected angle at close proximity. Of course to expect the arms to move exactly like a snake would be unreasonable but in the eyes of the opponent, the movements of the arms greatly resemble snakes.

Fu Gu Shen - Bone Penetrating Needle - One of Peach Blossom Island martial arts. Once the needle entered a body, it will attach itself the bone and slowly dispenses poison. The poison will work after a year. 6 times a day, following the circulation of the blood, the poison will cause excruciating pain. But it will not kill the person immediately. It could take a person a year or two for that person to die slowly from the pain. If that person tried to channel his or her internal energy to counter the pain, the more he or she does so the greater the pain. A normal person would only grit his or her teeth when in pain. Using internal energy to surpress the pain would be like drinking poison to satisfy the thirst because the next attack would be more intense than the previous ones. There is no antidote for this poison and only Huang YaoShi will be able to neutralize it.

Xuan Feng Sao Ye Tui Fa - Sweeping Leaves Whirlwind Leg - One of martial arts created by Huang YaoShi. The energy to drive the technique must be developed internally. Huang YaoShi gave passed this martial art to Lu ChengFeng. He told him he would be able to walk with a cane after 5 or 6 years if he diligently practiced and progressed.

Wu Xing Chi Men - Five Elements Open Gateway - It is based on five-elements technique according to Zhuge Liang's maze-laying arts and the past. It's an Eight Trigrams tactic area formation of Peach Blossom Island and it is a maze like area full of traps. Not only the technique uses the Eight Trigrams changes and Five Elements variations but it also uses Yin and Yang elements as well. The island is well known and secluded because of the Five Elements Open Gateway and the island master Huang YaoShi prohibits people to enter. A similar Five Elements Open Gateway formation was also found in Lu ChengFeng's Cloud Manor who was one of the six disciples of Huang Yaoshi. It is one of the skills Huang YaoShi most proud. He had expanded and developed new interpretations and variations of the original technique he learned from his ancestor.

Pi Cong Zhang - Air Splitting Palm - One of Peach Blossom Island martial arts created by Huang YaoShi. It uses Eight Trigrams to practice this palm technique. Huang Rong was bored after a month practicing this technique and stopped learning it. She thought this Air Splitting Palm can only be used to amaze but totally useless in real combat. Hong QiGong pretended to use this technique to deceive Ouyang Feng at the deserted island.

Man Tian Hua Yu Zhi Jin Zhen - Blossoms Rain From the Sky - Needles throwing style to hit simultaneously a person's vital areas.

Xiao Yao Quan (逍遙拳) - Carefree Drifter's Fist (Wandering Strides)- It derived into 36 movements. Hong QiGong picked up this martial art during his youth years.

Zhuang Shi Duan Wan (Strong Soldier Breaks the Wrist) and Xiao Yu Jie Yi (Jokes Will Undo the Jaws) are some of the moves.
