The Necromancer in the Wizarding World

Lieben noticed Matthews's predicament and realized that continuing with his original training methods would not help him make progress in this state.

Therefore, he decisively decided to stop Matthews' training and made a new suggestion to him: "Matthews, you seem to have encountered some bottlenecks that are difficult to break through. If you continue to train in this way, I am afraid it will be difficult to make significant improvements. However, I have a unique set of close combat skills that may help you find a new breakthrough. Are you willing to try it?"

When Matthews heard this proposal, his eyes immediately sparkled with enthusiasm. He had always been very interested in close combat tactics, and believed that Instructor Lieben, knowing that he was very strong in close combat, could still show off his close combat skills, which must be extraordinary.

He couldn't wait to ask, "Master Lieben, what kind of close combat skills are you talking about?"

Lieben smiled at Matthews, with a bit of pride and confidence on his face. However, he did not exaggerate, but said modestly: "This set of skills is not a traditional fighting skill, but I created it based on my in-depth study of acupoint theory and my many years of practical experience."

Matthews was very shocked by what Instructor Lieben said. Creating one's own fighting skills? What kind of talent and innovation does this require! He couldn't wait to ask, "Instructor Lieben, please show me this set of close combat skills!"

Lieben began his demonstration, his movements were smooth and powerful, and every gesture was as agile and deadly as a snake. The close combat skills he demonstrated abandoned the traditional punches and kicks, and instead adopted a unique method: his fingers and fingertips were like sharp beaks, pecking the opponent's vital points quickly and accurately; his arms imitated the bending and winding of snakes to break through or restrain the enemy.

This fighting technique may seem simple, but it actually contains a precise grasp of the acupuncture points of the human body. Every attack by Lieben seems to be able to find the opponent's vital points and defensive flaws, and every defense cleverly resolves the opponent's offensive.

Matthews was stunned. He was deeply attracted by this fighting skill. He realized that this was not only a set of technical innovations, but also a new interpretation of martial arts philosophy. He was eager to learn this set of fighting skills so that he could integrate it into his own fighting style and improve his fighting power.

Lieben seemed quite pleased with himself. He asked, "How do you feel? Do you find these movements unusual or strange?"

"This set of fighting skills is indeed quite peculiar, yet it is also exquisite. Coach Lieben, I wonder what name you gave it?" Matthews exclaimed sincerely, his eyes flashing with a desire for new knowledge and admiration for Coach Lieben's skills.

Lieben smiled and replied, "Actually this combat skill is not yet fully mature, and I haven't given it a name yet.

After hearing this, Matthews became more determined to learn this set of fighting skills. He continued to comment: "Coach Lieben, this set of fighting skills seems to be more flexible than the traditional joint lock. It can also quickly close the distance with the opponent, and the fighting ability is also more outstanding."

Lieben nodded in agreement and explained, "Yes, this set of techniques is in stark contrast to the joint lock. It focuses on flexibility, while the joint lock pursues ferocity and directness; it emphasizes entanglement and clever breakthroughs, while the joint lock focuses on strong attacks and fierce attacks. At the same time, this set of techniques can also complement the joint lock fighting skills. By using them flexibly, you can choose the most appropriate tactics according to the actual situation in the battle."

Lieben went on to elaborate: "Moreover, this set of fighting skills was created specifically for the acupuncture points we studied. The joint lock fighting skills mainly attack the joints of the arms, legs and neck, while our set of fighting skills mainly targets other key acupuncture points in the body."

Matthews nodded, indicating that he had roughly understood the key points of this set of techniques: "So, your set of fighting skills mainly works by tapping the acupuncture points of the body with special techniques?"

Lieben fell into deep thought: "That's right! What you just said about naming reminded me that I really need to give this set of fighting skills a resounding name."

Matthews suddenly had an idea and suggested to Coach Lieben: "Coach, why not name your unique skill 'Lieben's acupuncture point'?"

After hearing this, Lieben couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Hahaha, 'Lieben Acupressure Hand', this name is both vivid and creative! The three words 'Acupressure Hand' perfectly summarize the essence of this skill, but there is no need to add the word 'Lieben', right?"

Matthews disagreed: "Teaching, I think it should be added. This way, future generations will not forget you as the creator when they learn, and it can also inspire them to be innovative."

Lieben chewed on the name again and again, and finally nodded in confirmation: "Okay, let's call it 'Lieben Acupuncture Point Presser'!"

This name not only reflects the core characteristics of this skill, but also carries the respect for Lieben's teaching and the expectation for future inheritance.

Lieben demonstrated and explained in detail the core of the acupuncture point. He showed Matthews every movement in detail, from the basic hand gestures to the coordinated snake steps, to the key acupuncture points that must be hit accurately when attacking.

He pointed out that acupoint pressing is not just a collection of skills, but an art form that cultivates both the inner and outer aspects. Practicing acupoint pressing requires the fighter to achieve perfect coordination of all parts of the body in a fierce confrontation, especially the flexible movement of the waist and hands, which are the key to launching offense and defense.

Lieben further explained that the movements of the acupoint-pressing hand should be smooth and flexible, so that the offensive continuity can be maintained during the battle and the tactics can be adjusted at any time. The rotation of the waist and hips is the source of power and direction, while the flexible use of the hands is the key to achieving accurate strikes. By skillfully using the fingers, palms, wrists and other parts, the enemy can be struck accurately and fatally. At the same time, the flexibility of the hands also helps to quickly change the direction and strength of the attack during the battle, making it difficult for the enemy to predict and guard against it.

In addition, he also demonstrated how to use techniques such as entanglement, sliding, and swift attacks, all of which require the practitioner to have excellent flexibility and reaction speed in order to maximize the effectiveness of these techniques in real combat.

Matthews's love for Lieben's acupressure was like a burning flame, and he was full of fanaticism for this close-combat fighting method. This passion was in stark contrast to his indifference when practicing swordsmanship, highlighting his deep desire for this art.

Lieben was very pleased to see Matthews' strong desire for knowledge and his dedication to martial arts. He saw the spark in Matthews' eyes, which was his desire for the true meaning of martial arts and his courage to challenge. Lieben knew that the skill he had was extraordinary, and he was willing to teach such a promising student.
