Pulse Cessation was a high-level Acupuncture skill that was so strong that it was said to be lost in history.
Acupuncture skill was a kind of unique skill that only China martial artists could master. Its effect was strong as it could weaken any enemy easily. Its attack was as simple as puncturing an enemy's body with one's finger. However, with a single poke, one could immediately disable a strong enemy. It ranged from weakening a person's limb to weakening the Qi flow of the enemy. One could even master the next level of this technique by injecting the user's own Qi energy into an enemy's body, disabling him from the inside, leaving the enemy completely open for an attack. The greatest level of Acupuncture skill was Pulse Cessation. This skill caused the enemy's Qi flow to completely stop which would cause to the enemy to be unable to retaliate for a long period of time.
