Flawless Body

Zhang Dingjun gave a slight nod.

Then he sighed.

"Actually, reconnaissance infantry is work that should be done by Qi Refinement cultivators. There are just too few of them, and they can play a greater role on the main battlefield."

He projected the earlier battle scenes involving Hua Bing and the others to the size of a computer screen, then pointed at the image.

"Which places do you think would work as sniper positions for reconnaissance infantry?"

Jiang Ding shook his head. He had never studied this.

"There are a few basic principles. First, you must stay outside a cultivator's divine sense range—more than one hundred and fifty meters from a Qi Refinement cultivator, and more than two thousand meters from a Foundation Establishment cultivator."

"Second, choose complex terrain. Dense forests, underground, underwater—these places can effectively reduce the range and accuracy of a cultivator's divine sense scans."

"The same principles apply when facing Immortal Sect cultivators."

Zhang Dingjun explained, "As you can see, when Immortal Sect cultivators use the tank-mounted first-tier infantry Spirit-Particle Radar for broad-range scanning, its accuracy is merely average. Only when they narrow the spell radar waves and concentrate the scan on a specific area does the accuracy rise to another level."

"What you need to do is avoid making any unusual movements that might draw a cultivator's attention. Hide with all your life, conceal yourself, and wait for the chance to kill with a single blow."

Next, he explained in detail how to select specific sniper positions, as well as concealment and escape techniques using Earth-Escape Talismans, Wood-Escape Talismans, Water-Escape Talismans, and the like.

He talked until his mouth was dry for more than twenty minutes.

"That is roughly it. Record it and take your time understanding it. Ask me again if there is anything you do not understand."

"Remember, these are techniques. The most crucial things for reconnaissance infantry are cultivation and mastery of the Minor Breath-Concealing Technique."

Jiang Ding silently nodded.

He found a firing position and charged his weapon while pondering the Minor Breath-Concealing Technique. The runes on the barrel flickered faintly.

More than thirty minutes later.

Boom!

The earth-shaking blast knocked Jiang Ding, who had silently activated the Vajra Seal, back a meter. Since he had prepared beforehand, he was not injured, but his shoulder still ached badly. His accuracy and efficiency had not improved in the slightest.

Reconnaissance infantry really was too difficult. It was not something someone of his realm should be learning.

Jiang Ding simply stopped worrying about it. Sitting cross-legged, he began with the Lunar Lung Scripture of the first primary meridian, passing through the Pericardium Scripture and the Lesser Yin Heart Scripture, continuously nourishing the ten meridians of the Lesser Yin Heart Scripture. Most of it was already complete.

He was still three-quarters away from completing the "Minor Celestial Circuit," about half a month's work.

He broke through and nourished ten meridians roughly every two days.

That would have been shocking beyond measure in many martial arts worlds, but it was not worth mentioning in the Immortal Sect. Compared to martial arts prodigies, he still fell far short.

With sufficient support from Essence-Replenishing Qi-Boosting Pills, it was utterly ordinary for them to nourish dozens of meridians in a day. More remarkably, many of their meridians had been naturally open from birth, able to withstand the entry of inner force by nature.

Ring ring!

The dismissal bell rang. Zhang Dingjun left first, but Jiang Ding and the others were not done yet.

Under Hua Bing's command, every three tanks formed a tank squad. They arranged themselves into a triangular formation spaced a hundred meters apart and advanced toward the school as if marching and fighting.

Sun Xiao and the others followed the tanks with rifles in hand, strictly keeping behind the tanks' armor. From time to time, they changed which tank they followed, shifted formations according to the temporary commander's orders, and received the opposing military formation's spell enhancements for attack, defense, and marching.

Zhang Dingjun had assigned Jiang Ding homework in advance. He moved outside the military formation, traveling while using the Minor Breath-Concealing Technique.

The color of his Reconnaissance Camouflage changed with the environment. From the outside, the person wearing it was completely invisible.

"Old Jiang, where are you?"

Li Junhao asked quietly.

Jiang Ding shared his location through the team communications.

"That far away?!"

Li Junhao was startled. He was nearly a thousand meters away, and the military drone showed that he had already wandered near Class Two's training march.

Several Class Two students at the middle Qi Refinement stage or above frowned, but said nothing.

The rest noticed nothing at all.

Jiang Ding relaxed slightly. Combined with the high-grade artifact Reconnaissance Camouflage, he could now conceal himself from the divine sense of early Qi Refinement Immortal Sect cultivators—even divine sense amplified by the tank-mounted first-tier Spirit-Particle Radar.

After entering the school, they stored all kinds of weapons under the class monitor's supervision. Jiang Ding and Li Junhao went to the cafeteria together to eat and take their lunch break.

That afternoon, after two mathematics classes, Jiang Ding arrived at the cultivation room.

On the palm of the Banyan Tree, its roots gnarled and intertwined, lay an especially eye-catching pill dotted with purple light. There was writing beside it.

'Midterm ranking: 27th in the school. Having entered the school-wide top thirty, daily pills have been changed to the ordinary-tier mid-grade Purple Jade Qi-Nourishing Pill. Its medicinal effect is three times that of the previous Ginseng Flower Qi-Regulating Pill, with comparable impurity content.'

Another classic pill from the Immortal Sect educational system!

It had high output, complex refining techniques, and relatively low costs. It was not a cultivation-boosting pill that pulled seedlings up to help them grow, but one founded on "refining essence into qi," strengthening the body and thereby increasing the amount of inner qi produced.

In overall medicinal effect, it was comparable to the Hundred Essences Transform Qi Pill Jiang Ding had commissioned using the old ginseng he had collected. Though it contained a small amount of pill toxin, it would not be difficult to eradicate if he strictly followed the pill instructions under the cultivation room Array Spirit's supervision.

If someone had above-average martial arts aptitude, worked hard enough, and possessed sufficient comprehension, just this small daily supply of pills would allow them to grow rapidly and climb to Qianling University's minimum admission score. They would need neither family background nor fortunate encounters.

Jiang Ding swallowed the pill, and it turned into a warm current flowing into his abdomen.

He drew his sword. Sword light flickered as inner force circulated with it, nourishing and tempering his meridians according to the Array-Spirit Computer's guidance.

He also separated a small amount of inner force to temper the muscles beneath his armpits, his scalp, his stomach and intestines, and other muscle groups difficult to temper in the Body-Tempering Realm. The efficiency was extremely high.

After many days of training, it gradually reached completion.

Crack~

A crisp sound seemed to echo faintly. Jiang Ding sheathed his sword, joy appearing on his face.

A sense of comfort and ease instinctively spread from his body. With his eyes closed, he sensed that every muscle, tendon, bone, and patch of skin in his body had connected into an efficient, precise machine, without a single flaw anywhere.

A qualitative transformation had occurred.

The textbooks called this phenomenon the Flawless Body!

Jiang Ding clenched his fist. He could feel the strength contained within it. Without using inner force, the power of both his arms had doubled, reaching a tremendous force of sixteen hundred kilograms.

With this strength alone, he could clash head-on with ordinary people below the Young Eagle Inner Qi Realm and remain undefeated.

This was also the unique aspect of the Young Eagle Takes Flight Formula. It developed the human body to its absolute limit, crushing everything else from the foundation upward. Other than its terrifying difficulty, it had no shortcomings.

Driven by the Flawless Body, inner force circulated. The ten main meridians of the third primary meridian, the Lesser Yin Heart Scripture, were slowly tempered and nourished to completion.

Jiang Ding calmed himself and carefully guided inner force into the fourth primary meridian, the Yang Brightness Large Intestine Scripture of the Hand, while also expanding and nourishing its ten main meridians.

The cultivation room fell quiet.

On the bus,

Jiang Ding glanced at his phone and transferred the one hundred thousand yuan from Colorful Cloud Pharmaceuticals for the Purple Spirit Grass to Lin Wanqiu. He kept fifty-five thousand yuan for himself and sent Jiang Yuan another red packet.

Compared to another discovery, the Purple Spirit Grass was not worth mentioning.

Blueglow Butterfly, Bluegold 2413!
