Manifesting Sagehood in Publicly Said
Elder Yan's gaze was sharp as he clearly repeated, "The Wanjie Thunder Furnace."
"Since you are the Academy Head, why don't you give a lecture to the students?"
"Oh... the Wanjie Thunder Furnace." Zhou Yunyi heard it clearly this time, and his heart skipped a beat.
He can't!
Zhou Yunyi had just broken through to the Twelfth Realm Half-Venerable recently, and was currently focusing all his attention on his own secret technique Feathered Human Transformation, and preparing to break through to the Thirteenth Realm Supreme Being.
Where would I find the time to learn about the Wanjie Thunder Furnace?
As for what they did before--
That would naturally mean he would proclaim himself Holy Lord, go down to the Lower Realm to display his divine power, and be worshipped by the masses.
Those were truly comfortable days!
Unlike now, we're being put on the hot seat, terrified of being exposed and losing face.
'I'm afraid I won't be able to come to this class anymore.'
'But what do we do now...'
Got it!
A sudden inspiration flashed through my mind.
Zhou Yunyi cleared his throat, stood up, and tried to make his voice sound calm and composed as he said in a clear voice:
"The Wanjie Thunder Furnace was originally the Chu Clan's Secret Method Battle Intent Furnace, which was later improved into the Sword Intent Furnace and the Spirit Power Furnace."
"Compared to before, although the forced and false advancement of realms has been eliminated, the drawback of needing to frequently switch during battle has been added."
"Ultimately, by combining the strengths of both and tempering them with the power of heaven and earth's lightning, the Wanjie Thunder Furnace was created."
He paused, and seeing everyone's attention focused on him, he felt somewhat relieved and continued speaking eloquently:
"This method not only enhances Sword Intent, Spiritual Power, and physical body in all aspects, but also, due to the characteristic of lightning penetrating the body, can reduce pain and negative influences during combat to a certain extent."
"Because of its wide applicability, it has also evolved into many branches in the Lower Realm."
"Among them, the most renowned should be the <Five Extremes Body Tempering>."
After Zhou Yunyi finished speaking, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He should be able to get away with it, right?
However, the audience below the stage looked completely bewildered.
If I asked you to explain the practice, I meant to tell you how to get started, how to improve, and what the tricks and tips are. Who wants to listen to your explanation of its origins?
Zhou Yunyi knew exactly what they were thinking, but there was nothing he could do about it.
He simply doesn't know; the fact that he could come up with so much is the result of him racking his brains to recall various anecdotes and biographies.
Unexpectedly.
Upon hearing this, Elder Yan on the platform showed no displeasure; instead, he slammed his hand on the table, his eyes gleaming with a sharp light.
"Excellent! Well said!"
Elder Yan clapped his hands in praise, his voice booming, "There have been many rumors before, questioning whether you are worthy of this position Academy Head."
"Having heard your insights today, all that idle talk can now cease!"
"Many people only know that the Spirit Power Furnace evolves into the Wanjie Thunder Furnace, but they are unaware of the path of <Five Extremes Body Tempering>."
His gaze swept across the entire room, and he said earnestly, "Divine Son Qin drew upon the power of lightning externally, while the creator of the Five Extremes Body Tempering chose to embed the furnace within his body, transforming it into a body forging method."
"Both originated from the same source but followed different paths. Although both are the work of geniuses, the latter is little known."
Elder Yan looked at Zhou Yunyi and said approvingly, "I've asked many people, but only the Academy Head pointed out the existence of the Five Extremes Body Tempering."
"Such vision is rare!"
Zhou Yunyi stood there, feeling the astonished gazes from all around, a slight sweat beading on his back.
It seems... they managed to get away with it? And they even pulled off a big one?
As for why he knew...
That was, of course, when someone tried to use this technique to rebel while showing off in Lower Thousand Provinces.
As a result, they were easily suppressed by him.
Elder Yan gave a few more instructions before finally turning his gaze to Qin Wangchuan.
"When discussing the Wanjie Thunder Furnace, one cannot avoid mentioning this main figure."
"The Academy Head's speech was excellent, but it was ultimately based on extensive references. Next, I'm afraid we'll have to trouble Divine Son Qin to say a few words to us?"
Elder Yan's tone was filled with expectation.
Jiang Xuanli, standing to the side, covered her lips with her sleeve, chuckled softly, and leaned close to Qin Wangchuan's ear, her breath warm. "See? I knew this would happen."
Qin Wangchuan sighed almost inaudibly, "I know too."
During this period, he claimed to be there to attend classes, but it seemed more like he was there to give lectures.
However, the elders were not slacking off.
What could understand its essence and key points better than the person who created this technique?
"Shall I say a few words on your behalf?" Jiang Xuanli asked with concern.
"No need," Qin Wangchuan shook his head. "It's good, it can also be considered as preparation for future sermons."
He stood up and walked to the podium at the front.
Elder Yan smiled and stepped aside, giving up his seat, while he sat down comfortably, appearing to be listening attentively.
Qin Wangchuan stood on the platform, his gaze calmly sweeping over the crowd in the hall.
My gaze swept over faces that were filled with curiosity, excitement, or scrutiny.
Finally, it paused slightly in the shadow of the pillars outside the hall.
Gu Tianye appeared out of nowhere, leaning against a pillar and looking from afar.
As Prodigy of the Shenwu Academy, he came as soon as he heard that Qin Wangchuan had made an appearance today.
Not only him, but also many other outstanding students from other departments and even higher levels could be seen in the shadows outside the Prodigy.
Whether the elders' lectures are good or not, they may not care.
However, as a peer, Qin Wangchuan's words often went straight to the heart of the matter, and might even solve the problems that they had been struggling to figure out.
No one wants to miss such an opportunity to learn from others.
Qin Wangchuan withdrew his gaze, said nothing, and turned to face the hall, speaking in a clear voice:
"Elder Yan and many classic texts have surely explained thoroughly how to enter and improve one's skills in the Wanjie Thunder Furnace."
"Today, I will talk about some points that no one has mentioned before."
"As everyone knows, the Thunder Furnace is divided into Third Gear."
He paused briefly, then dropped a bombshell. "But actually, that's wrong."
A slight commotion immediately arose inside the hall.
"Wrong?!" someone exclaimed immediately, some even raising their hands to ask a question.
Faced with the commotion and questions within the hall, Qin Wangchuan remained silent. He simply raised his hand and pressed down, instantly enveloping the entire hall with an invisible aura that silenced all sound.
The next moment, without further explanation, he directly activated his Daoist magic.
"Boom!"
A burst of intense Lightning Light erupted, and an oppressive aura filled the air.
The initial eruption of this power was no different from the Third Gear Thunder Furnace that everyone knew, violent and powerful.
However, the pressure did not stop rising; instead, it continued to break through at an illogical speed!
The next moment--
"Boom!!!"
The air inside the hall emitted a deafening roar as it strained against the pressure!
The overwhelming pressure, like a landslide or a tsunami, slammed into everyone's chest.
The disciples who were closer turned pale and retreated in panic.
Even the Prodigy who were spying outside the hall subconsciously tensed up, their pupils contracting.
At the eye of the thunderstorm, Qin Wangchuan's clothes and black hair fluttered wildly in the Lightning Light, but his face remained calm and his eyes did not tremble in the slightest.
He raised his eyes, his gaze piercing through layers of Lightning Light; his voice, though not loud, resonated like thunder, striking deep into the Divine Soul of everyone present.
"This is the Fourth Gear."
