Chapter 258 - Revolutionary Cultivation Technique

n

n

n

nLate at night, it was silent everywhere.

n

nChen Yiming sat cross-legged on the bed and entered his spiritual world.

n

nHis breathing was long and steady. Every time he inhaled and exhaled, it would last for more than a minute. From time to time, a strong wind would blow in the room.

n

nDuring his deep meditation, a different concept diagram of the black fog gradually appeared in his spiritual world. The lines that formed the concept diagram were broken and reconnected by him.

n

nIn the beginning, this novel concept diagram of the black fog was extremely unstable. Every new line was trembling, just like when the foundation for a house was reduced greatly. It needed to be adjusted, or it would collapse.

n

nThen, with the experience accumulated from the combination of various internal forces and the fusion of internal forces, he began to adjust each connection. During the process, he continued to add or remove some of the lines.

n

nThe new concept diagram gradually became stable at its core. Then, it slowly stabilized outwards, and a completely new and stable black fog concept diagram appeared.

n

nChen Yiming opened his eyes, a look of joy on his face.

n

nWhen he was taking a stroll with Wang Bowen, an idea flashed across his mind. He had thought of creating a cultivation technique that had a very low requirement for cultivation. He did not expect it to be resolved so easily. It really worked out as long as he put his mind to it.

n

nHe waved his hand, and a patch of fog spread throughout the room.

n

nCompared to the original black fog internal force, the fog in front of him was about half as dense. Not only was it unable to hide his figure well, but the internal force had also become more loosely-packed.

n

nIt could be said that it had completely become a type of support and could only serve as a distraction.

n

nIf one cultivated the technique created by Chen Yiming, they would basically be unable to defeat anyone at the same level. They would be at the bottom of their level.

n

n“This cultivation technique I created is weak to a certain extent, but its shortcomings are also its advantages. The requirement for cultivating it is greatly reduced. Compared to the original concept diagram, the requirement for spiritual strength is reduced by about 30%.

n

nIn any case, breaking through to the warrior realm can allow one to use their internal force to further temper their body. A stronger body can also nurture a stronger spiritual strength. It’s perfect as a transitional cultivation technique,” Chen Yiming muttered to himself.

n

nCurrently, humans had yet to create a cultivation technique that could hone their spiritual strength, but it was not impossible to increase their spiritual strength.

n

nThe most common method was to constantly use one’s spiritual power. One could cultivate secret spiritual techniques or study concept diagrams.

n

nAnother method was to break through to the next level. There was an indescribable connection between the body and the mind, and they could develop together.

n

nChen Yiming picked up the peach wood sword excitedly and started to modify the Mantis Snake Sword Technique right there in his room.

n

nThe strength of the internal force cultivated from the new cultivation technique had decreased by nearly half. The martial arts technique that originally came with it was no longer compatible. It needed to be modified to match the strength of the new internal force.

n

nHis movements were very light, but they still made the house shake slightly. It was similar to a typhoon passing through the house.

n

n…

n

nThe next day, at 9 am, it was rare for him to be at home, so Chen Yiming slept in.

n

nThe sunlight was already shining through the window, illuminating the room. The air felt warm.

n

nOn the desk was a concept diagram that he had completed last night, and a book of the martial arts technique that went with it.

n

nThis was specially prepared for his sister, Chen Yingying. Under the accumulated effect of the costly martial arts resources he had procured for her, his sister had finally completed the sixth transformation in the disciple realm.

n

nIt was time for her to start trying to draw the concept diagram. After all, for Chen Yingying, who had poor martial arts talent, any stage of her cultivation should be done as soon as possible. Otherwise, once she passed the golden age for cultivation, nothing could be done.

n

nChen Yiming got out of bed and opened the door.

n

nFather Chen and Mother Chen were watching the news in the living room when they saw Chen Yiming walking out of the bedroom. They asked, “You’re up. We made breakfast, do you want some?”

n

n“Where did Chen Yingying go?” Chen Yiming asked as he walked towards the dining table.

n

nOn the table were buns that Mother Chen had made herself. The stuffing was made from the top grade mutant beast meat. Chen Yiming finished them in the blink of an eye.

n

n“Your sister is still a student and has already gone to school. When she woke up in the morning, she was still talking about you. Who knew that you would sleep in until this time?” Mother Chen said.

n

n“It’s not a big deal. It’s not like I’m not coming back,” Chen Yiming said nonchalantly.

n

n“How many days are you planning to stay at home this time?”

n

nFather Chen suddenly interrupted Chen Yiming and Mother Chen.

n

n“It depends. I have something to do, so I can’t confirm how long it will take,” Chen Yiming replied.

n

nFather Chen and Mother Chen knew that Chen Yiming was no longer a child, so they didn’t say anything.

n

nMother Chen felt a little regretful. Chen Yiming had been away all year round, and she was worried about him.

n

nThe family chatted for a while more.

n

nChen Yiming told Father Chen and Mother Chen about what had happened during this period of time to appease their curiosity and worry.

n

n“I’m going to look for Chen Yingying,” Chen Yiming said before he left the house.

n

n…

n

nAt the East Lake Martial Arts Academy, in a classroom designed specially for martial arts training, a class was underway.

n

n“Knock knock knock!”

n

nThere was a male teacher in a loose training robe with slightly white hair at his temples that was about 40 to 50 years old. He tapped on the wall with one hand and reminded the students, “Pay attention. I’ll emphasize the importance of the starting stance again.”

n

n“Beep!”

n

nThe male teacher pushed on the signal pen and pointed at a spot on the screen. He continued, “A journey of 1,000 kilometers starts with one step. If you haven’t learned how to walk, don’t even think about running. Any mistake in your opening stance will affect the rhythm of the subsequent moves.”

n

n“The entire set of moves can range from dozens to hundreds of moves.”

n

n“You made a mistake from the start. How can you talk about mastering it? How can you use it flexibly?”

n

n“In the previous assessment, about half of our class had flaws in their opening stance. I’ll give you 10 minutes to discuss. Later, I’ll call a few of you and ask about the common mistakes you all made.”

n

nThe male teacher took a deep breath. He pulled out a chair from the podium and sat down.

n

nThe reason why he was so strict in correcting every mistake of the students was mainly because there was a student called Chen Yingying in the class.

n

nAlthough this student’s martial arts level was considered outstanding, her grasp of martial arts techniques was terrible. It was obvious how she had practiced it. However, this student had an extraordinary background and was specially taken care of by the dean of the martial arts academy.

n

nIt could also be said that this class was being watched by countless gazes, so the male teacher did not dare to relax at all. He had to fulfill the teaching requirements for the theoretical part of the cultivation.

n

nBelow the podium was a spacious area. As a classroom specially designed for practicing martial arts, there were no tables or chairs. The students would stand and listen to the class, then go on to actual combat practice.

n

nBelow the podium, there were a total of more than 20 students. They gathered in groups of twos and threes to discuss the matter.

n

nThere was a girl on each side of Chen Yingying.

n

n“Yingying, Teacher Cai is so fierce. Isn’t it just some small mistakes? Humans aren’t machines,” the girl on the left, He Xiaoqiong said in a low voice.

n

n“Yingying, didn’t you say that your brother has returned home? Can you ask your brother to give us some pointers and let Old Cai know what it means to…” the girl on the right, Liu Zhujun asked softly.

n

nChen Yingying had been waiting for Chen Yiming to wake up in the morning and had arrived a few minutes late for class. She explained the reason to her two friends, and they also knew that Chen Yiming had returned to East Lake City.

n

n“I didn’t even get to talk to my brother. I have to ask him if he has time after school,” Chen Yingying replied softly.

n

nHis two friends were instantly disappointed.

n

nThey had followed Chen Yingying to the city gate and seen the higher ups of East Lake City welcome Chen Yiming and his team back to the city.

n

nIn addition, Chen Yiming had never been to the martial arts academy to visit Chen Yingying. Her two friends naturally thought that Chen Yiming was too busy and couldn’t spare any time for them.

n

nAt this moment, the male teacher on the podium glared at Liu Zhujun.

n

nAlthough there were more than 20 students discussing at the same time and causing a lot of noise, and that made it impossible for him to hear what Liu Zhujun was saying, he could tell that they were not discussing the matter of the opening stance.

n

nLiu Zhujun was not being serious and had even affected Chen Yingying. If he could not teach her well, as the teacher, he would definitely be the one to take the blame. This student was too good at making him look bad.

n

n“Teacher Cai has noticed you.”

n

nHe Xiaoqiong tugged at the corner of Liu Zhujun’s shirt from behind Chen Yingying.

n

nThe three girls quickly changed the topic, especially Liu Zhujun and He Xiaoqiong. Because they were close to Chen Yingying, their every move was often watched by the teacher.

n

n…

n

nChen Yiming stood at the entrance of the East Lake Martial Arts Academy.

n

nA plaque with the name of the martial arts academy was hung diagonally in front of him.

n

nAround him were students from the martial arts academy who were coming and going, as well as ordinary people who had come because of his reputation.

n

nThe style of the martial arts academy was similar to the universities in Chen Yiming’s previous world. It was relatively open, and many parents came to see if the environment was suitable for their children.

n

nIn the consultation room beside the guardhouse, Chen Yiming pushed open the door and walked in.

n

nHe knew Chen Yingying’s class number, but he did not know the exact location, and he was too lazy to look for her in each classroom, so he planned to find a student to bring him there.

n

nThe moment he entered, he saw a girl crouched over on one side of a long table and a boy sitting on the other side.

n

nThe girl looked to be about 18 years old. One could tell at a glance that she was a part-time student of the martial arts academy. She was quite good-looking, and from Chen Yiming’s position, he could see a pair of long legs sticking out from under the table.

n

nThe boy was wearing a pair of glasses and looked ordinary. He was chatting nervously with the girl. “Fang Fang, let’s go together tonight…”

n

n“Hello.”

n

nWhen Xu Fangfang saw who it was, her eyes lit up and she immediately sat up straight.

n

n“Can you take me to find someone…?”

n

nChen Yiming explained his intentions.

n

n“Alright, no problem.”

n

nXu Fangfang smiled when she heard this.

n

nBeing pestered by a boy whom she did not have any feelings for, she had long wanted to find an opportunity to escape. Coincidentally, this handsome man had come to look for someone. What reason was there for her to hesitate?

n

nThe boy beside her was feeling extremely awkward. He wanted to interrupt, but he was hesitant.

n

nThis detestable man. Did he think that he could do whatever he wanted just because he was good-looking? The strength of a man was the foundation. If not for the fact that he had to maintain his image in front of his goddess, he would have had a duel with the other man.

n

nXu Fangfang stood up and walked out from behind the table. She left the consultation room with Chen Yiming.

n

nOn the way, the two of them walked side by side.

n

n“Class 3245? It’s actually that class,” Xu Fangfang said in surprise.

n

nAlthough Class 3245 was just an ordinary class, there were all kinds of rumors going around.

n

nFor example, the children of big shots would study in this class, the children of the dean would study in this class, or the children of big factions in the provincial city would study in this class.

n

n“Uh… is there anything special about a martial arts academy in such a small region?” Chen Yiming asked in confusion.

n

nA small region?

n

nXu Fangfang’s eyes widened.

n

nEast Lake City was now a rising city. According to the new recruitment standards, most of the previous students would be eliminated.

n

nCould it be that this student’s family didn’t know anything?

n

nThinking of this, Xu Fangfang asked, “Are you here to look for your sister? Or brother?”

n

n“My sister studies here,” Chen Yiming explained.

n

nA useless brother and a genius sister.

n

nXu Fangfang instantly figured out the reason for this.

n

nThe East Lake Martial Arts Academy was second only to the 13 martial arts schools that were at the warrior-level. The students who could enter and study there were all very outstanding.

n

nShe really could not think of a reason why the other party did not know about the uniqueness of that class.

n

nNot long after, the two of them entered a seven-story school building and climbed up the stairs to the third floor. They turned left and went past three classes to reach Class 3245.

n

n“Thank you,” Chen Yiming said as they arrived at their destination.

n

n“You’re welcome. This is my job.”

n

nAfter Xu Fangfang finished speaking, she quickly turned around and left with a smile.

n

nHer movements were very slow. She stopped at the top of the stairs and hid at the side to observe the situation secretly.

n

nAt the entrance of Class 3245, through the open door, Chen Yiming saw a tall and thin boy with a red face. He stammered as he answered the question, looking like an ostrich that wanted to bury its head in the sand.

n

nChen Yingying was listening attentively among a group of students.

n

nThe male teacher noticed someone at the door and walked out to ask, “May I know what’s the matter?”

n

n“I’m looking for my sister,” Chen Yiming explained.

n

nAs soon as he finished speaking, he added, “I’m not in a hurry. Teacher, continue with the class first. I’ll talk to my sister after class.”

n

nHe wanted to observe Chen Yingying’s cultivation situation from the perspective of a passerby so that he could help his sister formulate the next stage of her cultivation plan.

n

nThe male teacher nodded and entered the classroom again.

n

nThis was very common. When a student’s family came to look for them, if they happened to be in class, they would usually not let the student skip the class.

n

nThe class quickly continued, and only Chen Yingying felt uncomfortable.

n

nOf course, she had seen Chen Yiming arrive at the door. Being watched by her brother in class made her feel like she was sitting on pins and needles, afraid that her performance would be too bad.

n

nThe two female students beside her also recognized Chen Yiming. They almost cried out in surprise.

n

nA big shot was watching from the outside, so they had to show their best side. They immediately focused their attention on the class.

n

nAt this moment, questions were being asked in the classroom.

n

nThe students who did not master the martial arts techniques could not avoid it. As a special student, Chen Yingying was asked three questions.

n

nHowever, Chen Yingying’s performance could only be described as poor.

n

n“You can’t even answer this?”

n

nOutside the classroom, Chen Yiming had a worried expression.

n

nAfter he entered the martial arts school and learned the Mantis Snake Sword Technique, he had understood what the teacher was now quizzing the students about almost instantly.

n

nHowever, Chen Yingying, who had already undergone six transformations at the disciple realm, still did not understand.

n

n“It’s over.”

n

nChen Yingying could not answer again. She had a look of despair on her face, and the male teacher happened to notice it.

n

n“Chen Yingying, are you feeling unwell?” the male teacher asked with concern.

n

nThe surrounding students also looked at her with concern.

n

nAll of a sudden, Chen Yingying became even more nervous.

n

nShe hesitated for a moment before explaining, “My brother is watching from outside. I was too nervous.”

n

n“Your brother?”

n

nThe male teacher was dumbfounded, and most of the students were also stunned.

n

nMany people in the class had never seen Chen Yiming before, but they knew about his achievements.

n

nA real big shot had actually watched half of their class from the side. This was a situation that would only happen in a dream. Many people were about to faint.

n

nSoon, the class was suspended and Chen Yiming was invited in.

n

nThe classroom was silent as they waited for Chen Yiming to speak.

n

n“Cough, cough!”

n

nChen Yiming had a calm expression on his face as he handed over the new technique he had developed last night to Chen Yingying. He still had something to do when he left the city, so it would probably be too late if he left it for later.

n

n“Brother, what is this?”

n

nChen Yingying looked puzzled as she received the concept diagram and the book with the martial arts technique.

n

n“This is a cultivation technique specially created for you. It can greatly reduce the threshold for breaking through to the warrior realm,” Chen Yiming explained.

n

nAs soon as he finished speaking, the male teacher and the surrounding students held their breaths.

n

nThis… a big shot was indeed different. He could create a customized technique for the warrior realm.

n

nIs there anything else you need? We want to learn this technique too.

n

n“Brother, I’m only at the sixth transformation of the disciple realm…” Chen Yingying said awkwardly.

n

nShe could not even master the cultivation techniques at the disciple realm, and now he was asking her to practice the cultivation techniques at the warrior realm. This was too difficult.

n

n“It’s precisely because you are slow in mastering the techniques that you have to practice it in advance,” Chen Yiming said with a serious expression.

n

nThese words made everyone present envious. With a big shot as her brother, everything had been arranged for her, and she did not have to worry about cultivation resources at all.

n

n“There’s no need to keep this technique a secret. You can ask your classmates and teachers to help you with your training. It’s up to you,” Chen Yiming continued.

n

nNow that he was at the peak of humanity, he had no intention of hiding anything.

n

nHe even hoped that this technique would spread quickly, and the number of human warriors would increase greatly.

n

n“I’m not dreaming, am I?”

n

nNot only the surrounding students, but even the male teacher was about to faint.

n

nWhen a complete warrior realm technique was released to the outside world, it would always cause a bloodbath.

n

nHowever, now that it was freely distributed, everyone could learn it. They even learned from the big shot that this was a cultivation technique that lowered the threshold for breaking through to the warrior realm. This was like a pie falling from the sky that was so huge it could knock people out.

n

nWas this the level of a big shot? It was indeed not something ordinary people could achieve.

n
