16 Chapter 16: Cleansing Muscles and Bones (2/2)
Peng!
His fist strikes on the stone pillar and a glint of light flow on it.
”5 ding!”
A number appears on it.
”How... how... is this possible?”
Zhang Xuan narrows his eyes and a dumbfounded look covers his entire face.
Is this for real?
For a normal dingli primary stage, one would possess one ding of strength. In the intermediate stage, one would possess two ding of strength. In the advanced stage, three ding of strength and in the pinnacle, four ding of strength!
Yet, despite barely breaking through the Pigu realm to Dingli realm, he actually possesses five ding of strength... What is going on?
Isn't this too exaggerated!
”It must be due to the nourishment of my body by the Heaven's Path Divine Art and the superior zhenqi in my body...”
After a short moment, Zhang Xuan recovers from the shock and infers.
He is very clear that he isn't a genius.
The only explanation for it is the Heaven's Path Divine Art which he has just cultivated with.
Not only does this cultivation technique temper and reforms his physical body and cleanses his zhenqi, raising it to superior quality, it also increases his strength significantly, thus granting him the strength beyond that of Dingli pinnacle expert despite just reaching the Dingli realm.
Fearsome!
”There is only a few esteemed teacher in the academy who reached Fighter 5-dan!”
In the academy, only some of the higher level teachers possess the strength of a Fighter 5-dan Dingli realm. People like Cao Xiong and him could never hope to reach such heights.
”Now that I have reached this level, I should go and look for the cultivation technique for 5-dan...”
While his strength soars rapidly, a problem arises.
The multitude of 4-dan cultivation techniques that he flipped through in the Teacher Compendium Pavilion previously are useless now. If he wants to continue cultivating, he has to look for 5-dan cultivation techniques.
”Right now, it isn't too late. The Teacher Compendium Pavilion shouldn't be closed yet...”
Scratching his head, Zhang Xuan walks over the Compendium Pavilion once more.
In order to prevent people from getting greedy and hasty in their training, the academy imposed a rule that one can only view cultivation techniques that correspond to the level of their cultivation.
It didn't take long for Zhang Xuan to arrive at the Compendium Pavilion once more.
”Why are you here again?”
Seeing that it's the same guy from a moment ago, the custodian, Elder Mo, frowns.
This impractical fellow just left the pavilion not long ago. Why is he back again?
”Elder Mo, I would like to view the cultivation technique for 5-dan!” Zhang Xuan is a little awkward.
He can't possibly say that he broke through after leaving for just a short moment!
If he were to say that, the other fellow would either kill him or kidnap him to examine him like a lab rat.
There isn't much of a change in zhenqi between Pigu realm and Dingli realm. As long he doesn't manipulate his zhenqi, it is difficult for even experts to tell the difference. Elder Mo may be strong, but it is inconceivable to him that this youth might have broken to greater heights in the short moment he was gone.
”5-dan cultivation technique? What do you want it for?”
Elder Mo's face darkens. His final sliver of appreciation towards his fellow disappears.
He didn't copy any notes on the 4-dan cultivation technique and didn't try to cultivate it. Yet, he is back now to look at the 5-dan? What kind of joke is this!
”Elder Mo, it is like this. Today, I accepted a student and his parent asked me some questions about 5-dan cultivation. I was unable to answer it, causing him to look down on him. Thus... I would like to take a look and derive an answer to it. This way, I would be able to deal with these questions in the future!”
Zhang Xuan has already thought of an excuse beforehand.
”Some parents are indeed troublesome to deal with!” Hearing this explanation, Elder Mo nods his head. With a solemn expression, he says, ”You can take a look, but do not cultivate them by any means! If you try to cultivate 5-dan without even breaking through 4-dan, even deities would be unable to save you when you go berserk!”
”Yes, I understand that!”
Zhang Xuan hurriedly replies.
”Alright, enter!” Elder Mo waves his hand and closes his eyes. ”The 5-dan cultivation technique are on the very last row!”
”Yes!” Zhang Xuan hurriedly enters.
”Hypocritical! Vain!”
After entering, Elder Mo adds two more words to his evaluation of Zhang Xuan.
