True Body of Wind and Thunder

After teaching the boxing techniques, Yang Ning left the training ground. Although he had reported to the Dean, he still had to get past the teacher.

"The coursework for formal disciple is really heavy, it's a bit like high school in my previous life." Yang Ning glanced at the schedule, then changed into red clothes, grabbed his Magic Sword, and hurried to the classroom.

"This lesson will continue with the cultivation of the Divine Forms!" The teacher on the stage was named Luo Sheng, the same one who had previously mentioned that the maidservant was formal disciple's dao companion.

This person was tall and thin with deep-set eyes, and wore a long blue robe. He had reached the Ninth Level of Body Refinement, but due to his advanced age, his cultivation had stopped increasing and had begun to decline.

Teacher Luo showed no interest in maintaining his cultivation, spending his days among flowers and using almost all of his salary to support impoverished women.

Despite his moral decline, he was still quite serious about teaching. After assigning the task, he called Yang Ning over.

"The Dean told me that he would reduce some of your classes, or even allow you to skip classes altogether!" Luo Sheng said. "What was your reason at the time? Was the cultivation too simple, something you could learn at a glance, and lacking in challenge?"

"That's right!" Yang Ning nodded.

"You might have misunderstood something!" Luo Sheng shook his head. "The Divine Forms you cultivate was all imprinted by the Transmission Elders of the Divine Aspect Realm. That's why you can learn the Divine Forms so quickly. Don't take the elders' credit for yourself and think you're learning very fast!"

"I'm not bragging. Those who know me know that I've been intelligent since childhood. Having a photographic memory is just a basic skill for me!" Yang Ning said earnestly.

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

Several pageboys, on the other hand, have come from the pageboys' side.

"In that case, I'll test you!" Luo Sheng said. "I created my own style of boxing called the Great Tong Yuan Fist. Only I know this style; I've never taught it to anyone else. I'll demonstrate it for you to learn!"

Yang Ning nodded, then made way for Luo Sheng.

Luo Sheng took off his long robe and threw it aside, revealing his muscular physique. Then he suddenly swung his fist, and a whooshing sound filled the air.

While practicing, he didn't forget to explain, "My Great Tong Yuan Fist is a style of boxing I created after practicing the ape form for thirty years and observing the movements of the Tongbi Demon King for ten years. It is said that the Qi flows through the body, the long arm lifts and strikes, the mind and technique are one, and the movements are as you wish."

Yang Ning nodded silently to the side. The teacher wasn't exaggerating. This Divine Forms was profound in its conception and extraordinary in its realm. It was a very powerful fist technique that could be cultivated to the Fifth Level of Body Refinement. If one could comprehend the Great Universal True Intention, one could also use it to advance to the Sixth Level of Body Refinement.

Half an hour later, Luo Sheng finished his set of boxing techniques, then stepped aside and said, "You can come now!"

"Alright!" Yang Ning also took off his brocade robe, revealing his somewhat thin shoulders.

He raised his arm, clenching his fist, and before he even made a move, Luo Sheng's eyes had already changed.

As Yang Ning continued practicing, Luo Sheng's expression grew increasingly astonished. Finally, after Yang Ning threw another punch, Luo Sheng suddenly shouted, "Stop!"

"What's wrong?" Yang Ning turned around blankly.

"Have you learned this boxing style?" Luo Sheng asked, his face dark.

"No!" Yang Ning shook his head. "Teacher, didn't you say that you created this yourself and never taught it to anyone else? Where am I supposed to learn it?"

"But!" Luo Sheng exclaimed in shock, "Your punches were so fluid and graceful just now. How could you have achieved that without three to five years of practice?"

"That's even more impossible. I only embarked on the path of cultivation half a year ago!" Yang Ning laughed.

"Ah, this..." Luo Sheng realized, "That's true!"

He only started cultivating immortality six months ago, and hasn't attended any proper classes in the past six months. He's been spending the whole time refining weapons, building tanks, and constructing vehicles. And yet, he managed to master the fist technique that I spent decades creating?

What kind of ultimate monster is this?

"Then, how did you train it?" Luo Sheng finally 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 move at a time, how can you train them to have both form and spirit?"

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

"Alright!" Luo Sheng didn't believe it, but there was nothing he could do. However, he felt it was a great pity, so he said, "With such talent for cultivation, you should devote yourself to cultivation. Why do you still need to focus on weapon crafting? You had no choice before because you were a page, but now that you've become formal disciple, you should cherish this opportunity even more!"

"I desire immortality, and I also desire weapon crafting. If I cannot have both, I will forgo immortality and choose weapon crafting!" Yang Ning laughed. "Everyone has their own ambitions, so please don't try to persuade me!"

"Well, sigh!" Luo Sheng sighed helplessly and could only wave his hand, "Since you have this talent, you won't need to come to my classes anymore. I just hope you won't regret it later!"

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

The next lesson will be a practical session.

"The Dean and Teacher Luo have already told me about your situation!" This teacher, surnamed Lin, carried a long spear and wore white armor; if he were riding a horse, he would be Zhao Yun himself.

"Your talent for cultivation doesn't mean your talent for combat is strong. If you don't attend practical combat classes, you'll inevitably be flustered when you encounter enemies in the future, and you'll eventually perish early!" Teacher Lin said. "Moreover, you can also cultivate the Divine Forms in practical combat classes. You can give up the Divine Forms classes and focus solely on practical combat classes!"

"But isn't the difference between us humans and animals simply the use of tools?" Yang Ning spread his hands. "As an Artifact Forging Master, why should I engage in close combat with people? They'd be killed by the things I create before they even get close to me!"

"You mean your tank?" Teacher Lin said dismissively, "I admit your tank's defensive capabilities are indeed amazing, but if I used my Flowing Light Step to instantly appear on top of your tank, open the hatch, and attack the people inside, how would you deal with that?"

"Tanks are only weapons for fighting Fierce Beast. To fight intelligent people, we naturally need weapons for fighting people!" Yang Ning replied.

"Oh?" Teacher Lin narrowed her eyes. "You mean you have a new invention?"

"Not yet, after all, I didn't know I would become formal disciple, but give me time, and I'll be able to create it sooner or later!" Yang Ning said.

"Then here's the problem: I need you to participate in the practical course now, but you don't have any creation items. What are you going to do?" Teacher Lin asked.

"You mean, personal ability can be optional, but it can't be absent?" Yang Ning countered.

"Huh?" Teacher Lin was taken aback, then nodded. "That's right, that's exactly what I mean!"

"Then I'll learn it!" Yang Ning asked, "Is there any martial arts technique that is powerful, comprehensive, with strong attack power, amazing defense, fast speed, and the Cultivation Method to attack from a distance?"

"Yes, there is, but such Cultivation Method is extremely difficult to cultivate. Are you sure you want to practice it?" Teacher Lin asked.

"Of course I'll practice, teacher. Have you forgotten my talent for cultivation?"

Teacher Lin was speechless and could only sigh, saying, "You stay here and don't move. I'll go get you the Cultivation Method."

"Good!"

Before long, Teacher Lin returned with a thick book, and casually tossed it to Yang Ning.

"<The True Body of Wind and Thunder>?" Yang Ning glanced at the cover first, then opened the book.

As expected, this is a Body Refining Cultivation Method.

The only Cultivation Method that combines high durability, high damage output, and high speed can be Body Refining Cultivation Method.

"Within the cultivation secret realm of the Ascension Academy, there is a place called the Ghost Wind Valley, where the chilling winds can penetrate to the bone. There is another secret realm called Thunder Cliff, where lightning strikes constantly, but although the lightning is abundant, it cannot kill anyone. By tempering your body with these winds and lightning, you can cultivate the <True Body of Wind and Thunder>. After cultivating it, not only will your body be strong and impervious to blades and spears, but if you comprehend the True Intention of wind and thunder, you can also control wind and thunder, making you not only faster than ordinary people, but also far more powerful than ordinary people!"

Yang Ning's face lit up with joy upon hearing the explanation of the Cultivation Method, and he exclaimed, "In that case, I'll practice this!"

"Are you sure?" Teacher Lin frowned. "Although this Cultivation Method is powerful, it is extremely difficult to cultivate. Countless people have failed. Since its creation, only a handful of people have successfully mastered it!"

"If others can master it, I believe I can too!" Yang Ning said earnestly and firmly. "Besides, I'm someone who hates trouble. If I could solve all my problems with one Cultivation Method, that would be perfect!"

"In that case, I'll teach you the <True Body of Wind and Thunder>." Teacher Lin sighed. Although they were teachers, they were also there to serve their formal disciple.

Since Yang Ning had made his decision, he had no choice but to cooperate.

"Yes, thank you for your help, teacher!" Yang Ning nodded.
