Nightmare Immortal Era

Chapter 68: Wind and Thunder True Body

After finishing the boxing lessons, Yang Ning left the training ground. Although he had already reported to the dean, he still had to pass the teacher's test.

"The workload for official disciples is really heavy, reminding me of my high school days in my previous life." Yang Ning glanced at his schedule, changed into a red robe, grabbed his sword, and hurriedly rushed to the classroom.

"In this class, we will continue to practice the Soul Refining Form!" The teacher on the stage was named Luo Sheng, the one who previously mentioned that the maidservant was a formal disciple's Dao companion.

This person was tall and thin, with deep-set eye sockets, wearing a blue long robe. His cultivation was at the Ninth Layer of the physical body, but due to his old age, his cultivation had stopped growing and was gradually declining.

Luo Sheng didn't seem to care about maintaining his cultivation. He spent his days wandering among the flowers, and almost all of his salary went to supporting impoverished women.

Although he had fallen, he was still serious about teaching. After assigning the task, he called Yang Ning over.

"The dean told me that I should reduce some of your courses or even allow you to skip classes!" Luo Sheng said, "What was your reason back then? The cultivation was too simple, easy to learn, and lacked challenge?"

"That's right!" Yang Ning nodded.

"You may have misunderstood something!" Luo Sheng shook his head. "The divine forms you cultivate are imprinted by the elders of the Divine Appearance Realm. This is what allows you to quickly learn the divine forms. Don't take the credit of the elders as your own and think that you are learning fast!"

"I'm not boasting. Those who know me well know that I have been intelligent since childhood and have a photographic memory. It's just basic operation!" Yang Ning said seriously.

"Is that so?" Luo Sheng was somewhat astonished. He had been teaching here for over sixty years and had seen countless students, but Yang Ning was the first one with the ability to memorize everything!

There were several book boys who had the same ability.

"Since that's the case, let me test you!" Luo Sheng said, "I have created a set of boxing techniques called 'Great Universal Fist.' Only I know this set, and I have never taught it to anyone. I will demonstrate it once, and you can learn from it!"

Yang Ning nodded and gave way to Luo Sheng.

Luo Sheng took off his long robe and threw it aside, revealing his muscular body. Then he swung his fist fiercely, creating a whistling sound in the air.

While demonstrating, he also explained, "I have practiced the Ape Form for thirty years and observed the movements of the Arm-Stretching Demon King for ten years to create this set of boxing techniques. It's about channeling qi through the body, using long arms to strike, integrating heart and technique, and moving freely."

Yang Ning silently nodded on the side. This teacher wasn't bragging. This divine form had profound intentions and extraordinary realm. It was a quite powerful boxing technique that could be cultivated to the Fifth Layer of the physical body. If one could comprehend the true meaning of the Great Universal Fist, they could even advance to the Sixth Layer of the physical body.

Half an hour later, Luo Sheng finished the set of boxing techniques and then stepped aside, saying, "Your turn!"

"Okay!" Yang Ning also took off his brocade robe, revealing his somewhat slender shoulders.

He waved his arms, clenched his fists, and as soon as he performed the first move, Luo Sheng's expression changed.

As Yang Ning continued to practice, Luo Sheng's expression became more and more shocked. Until Yang Ning threw another punch, Luo Sheng suddenly spoke up, "Stop!"

"What's wrong?" Yang Ning turned around in confusion.

"This boxing technique, have you learned it before?" Luo Sheng asked with a darkened face.

"No!" Yang Ning shook his head. "Teacher, didn't you say that this is your creation and you haven't taught it to anyone else? Where could I have learned it?"

"But!" Luo Sheng's face was filled with astonishment. "Your movements just now were as precise as they could be. If you haven't practiced for three to five years, how could you achieve such proficiency?"

"That's even more impossible. I only started cultivating half a year ago!" Yang Ning laughed.

"Oh, right." Luo Sheng suddenly remembered, indeed.

He had only started cultivating immortality half a year ago and hadn't attended any proper classes during that time. He had been busy refining tools, building tanks, and cars. How could he have mastered the boxing technique that took me decades of hard work in just one try?

What kind of ultimate monster was he?

"Well, how did you cultivate it?" Luo Sheng couldn't help but ask, "Even if you have a good memory and can remember the moves clearly, at most, you can only practice them one by one. How did you achieve the form and spirit in your practice?"

"I don't know. This ability is innate!" Yang Ning shrugged.

"Alright!" Although Luo Sheng didn't believe it, he had no choice. However, he felt it was a pity and said, "With your talent for cultivation, you should wholeheartedly focus on cultivation. Why do you still put your mind on refining tools? In the past, you were just a servant and had no choice, but now that you have become an official disciple, you should cherish this opportunity!"

"Immortality is what I desire, and refining tools is also what I desire. The two cannot be achieved simultaneously. I give up immortality and choose to refine tools!" Yang Ning smiled and said, "Everyone has their own aspirations, so please don't persuade me!"

"Well..." Luo Sheng helplessly waved his hand, "With your talent, I won't come to teach you anymore. I just hope you won't regret it in the future!"

"I won't!" Yang Ning deeply bowed to Luo Sheng and then left the classroom.

Next class, practical combat.

"The dean and Teacher Luo have already told me about your situation!" This teacher's surname is Lin. He holds a long spear and wears white armor. If he were to ride a horse, he would be Zhao Yun himself.

"Your talent for cultivation may be strong, but it doesn't mean your talent for combat is also strong. If you don't attend practical combat classes, you will inevitably be at a loss when facing enemies and ultimately perish early!" Teacher Lin said, "Moreover, practical combat classes can also cultivate the Divine Form Technique. It's acceptable to give up the Divine Form Technique class and focus on practical combat!"

"But isn't the difference between humans and animals in the use of tools?" Yang Ning shrugged, "As a tool refiner, why should I engage in close combat with people? Before they even get close to me, they would be killed by the things I create!"

"Are you talking about your tank?" Teacher Lin didn't take it seriously, "I admit that your tank has astonishing defense, but if I use the Flowing Light Steps and instantly appear on top of your tank, open the hatch, and attack the people inside, how would you respond?"

"The tank is just a weapon against ferocious beasts. When facing intelligent people, naturally, I have to use weapons against people!" Yang Ning replied.

"Oh?" Teacher Lin squinted his eyes, "Are you saying you have a new invention?"

"Not yet, after all, I didn't know I would become an official disciple. But give me time, and I will eventually create it!" Yang Ning said.

"Well, here's the problem. I need you to participate in practical combat class now, but you don't have any creations with you. What will you do?" Teacher Lin asked.

"Are you suggesting that personal strength is not necessary, but it cannot be absent?" Yang Ning asked in return.

"Huh?" Teacher Lin was taken aback, then nodded, "Yes, that's what I mean!"

"Then I'll learn it!" Yang Ning asked, "Is there a technique that is both powerful and comprehensive, with strong attack power, astonishing defense, high speed, and long-range attacks?"

"There is, but the difficulty of practicing such a technique is extremely high. Are you sure you want to learn it?" Teacher Lin asked.

"Of course I want to learn it. Teacher, have you forgotten about my talent for cultivation?"

Teacher Lin was speechless and could only sigh, "Stay here and don't move. I'll go get the technique for you."

"Okay!"

Before long, Teacher Lin came back with a thick book and casually threw it to Yang Ning when he saw him.

"The Wind and Thunder True Body?" Yang Ning looked at the cover first, then opened the book.

Sure enough, it was a Body Refining technique.

A technique that is both physical and offensive, and requires high speed can only be a Body Refining technique.

"In the Immortal Ascension Academy's cultivation secret realm, there is a place called the Ghost Wind Valley, where the chilling wind can penetrate bones. There is also a secret realm called Thunder Cliff, where thunder strikes constantly, but the thunder cannot kill people. By practicing the Ghost Wind and Thunder Body Tempering, you can cultivate the 'Wind and Thunder True Body'. After cultivating it, not only will your body become strong and impervious to blades and spears, but if you comprehend the true meaning of wind and thunder, you can also control wind and thunder. Your speed will surpass ordinary people, and your attack power will far exceed that of ordinary people!"

Listening to the explanation of this technique, Yang Ning's face blossomed with joy and he smiled, "In that case, I will practice this!"

"Are you sure?" Teacher Lin frowned, "Although this technique is powerful, the difficulty of cultivation is extremely high. Countless people have failed. Since its establishment until now, only a few have successfully cultivated it!"

"Since others can cultivate it, I believe I can too!" Yang Ning's tone was serious and his attitude was firm, "Besides, I'm a person who dislikes trouble. If I can solve all problems with one technique, that would be even better!"

"In that case, let me teach you the 'Wind and Thunder True Body'." Teacher Lin sighed. Although they were teachers, they were also here to serve the official disciples.

Since Yang Ning had made a decision, he could only cooperate.

"Okay, thank you, Teacher!" Yang Ning nodded.
