"You're joking. All the books in my room don't contain as much information as the Hibernating Dragon Technique."
Wu Ting smiled calmly.
"Didn't you and Little Cheng both go to Wanli Shitang to get busy, and then we disappeared without a trace, going to some unknown secret place to do research? I had nothing to do, so I started thinking about the Hibernating Dragon Technique."
"Just two years ago, after years of painstaking practice, I suddenly had a flash of inspiration while I was sleeping. My mind was clear, and as if divine intervention had come my way, I inexplicably grasped the essence of the Hibernating Dragon Technique. From then on, I mastered the skill and obtained the skill I had learned in my dream."
Although Wu Ting spoke calmly, Li Xingkong could still detect a hint of excitement in his words.
This is normal, after all, according to Wu Ting, he really mastered the Hibernating Dragon Technique entirely on his own, a skill that not everyone can do.
Take Tang Cheng for example. They both learned the Hibernating Dragon Technique at the same time, but even now, Tang Cheng still hasn't mastered it.
While a large part of the reason was Tang Cheng's busy work schedule and numerous tasks, which took up a significant portion of his time and left him with less time for cultivation, it was also related to his personal state of mind. He didn't particularly enjoy delving into these things and lacked patience.
"Awesome! You're the first person I've ever seen who mastered the Hidden Hibernating Dragon Technique entirely on their own."
Li Xingkong couldn't help but give him a thumbs up. After all, Li Xingkong's cultivation had the help of the system, which could be considered cheating, while he cultivated without any help from anyone.
"Sigh, it's just luck. I still don't know how I managed to cultivate it."
Wu Ting was still being somewhat modest.
"After I finished cultivating the Hidden Hibernating Dragon Technique, since I couldn't contact you and Little Cheng, I started to study widely, researching various schools of thought from the past, hoping to find some clues in the existing classics to see how much of the existing the Myth and legends are true or false."
He pointed to the many ancient books and old books around him and spoke slowly.
"I started by reading various introductory books, and after getting the hang of it, I looked for various boxing manuals to read. After reading them, I started practicing, finishing one manual after another. When I ran out of books to read, I turned to Buddhist and Daoist classics to study."
Li Xingkong looked at the piles of books that Wu Ting; each pile contained dozens of books.
The book, " The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon," was laid out half-open on the table, along with his half-finished notebook.
As Wu Ting his research over the past few years, Li Xingkong was somewhat impressed by his achievements.
More than himself, he was someone obsessed with spiritual practice.
"So, what conclusions did you draw?"
Li Xingkong was also quite curious, since he only had a basic understanding of the classic texts of the past in Divine Land and had not studied them in depth.
After all, his cultivation came from the system. Although it was also about cultivating immortality, the cultivation civilization within the system was still different from the traditional religions of Divine Land.
"Yes, although none of the various supernatural powers and spells in this book can be used, its descriptions of the body and its various theoretical studies are indeed worth exploring, and it also has profound philosophical research value."
"Most importantly, after reading many books, my Hibernating Dragon Technique has changed."
Wu Ting pointed to his head.
"Changes?" Li Xingkong a little curious. His Hibernating Dragon Technique was almost retired by now. After all, he no longer needed to sleep to cultivate. And after the Qian Hexagram was activated, his usual cultivation speed was already faster than when he activated the Hibernating Dragon Technique. Now, this initial version of the Hibernating Dragon Technique was no longer of any use to him.
To make it effective, he would need to learn the advanced techniques of the Hibernating Dragon Technique, but Li Xingkong didn't have the time to learn them yet.
"Yes, after studying the boxing manual for a year, every time I enter a dream, the Hibernating Dragon Technique extracts the essence of the manual and transforms it into human form to fight me in my dream. Every night when I rest, I have to fight these various human forms hundreds of times."
"Right now, I feel I've reached a bottleneck in my martial arts skills."
???
Li Xingkong expressed his incomprehension, wondering when the Hibernating Dragon Technique had acquired such a function.
Automatic simulated battle?
"System, come out and say something."
Li Xingkong one thing he excels at: if he doesn't move, he immediately asks the system for help.
Have you ever seen the situation Wu Ting described?
"Hmm, it's indeed rare, but it's not unheard of."
The system paused only briefly before understanding what Li Xingkong wanted to ask.
"The original method of the Hibernating Dragon Technique was intended for people to learn, so there's no problem with that. The problem is with you, class monitor; your comprehension is exceptionally high."
"In his case, he has essentially mastered the technique and reached a certain level of proficiency. Combined with his own insights and reflections, he has brought the technique to a point of innovation. Specifically, his Hibernating Dragon Technique can detach from knowledge and condense into an unconscious human form, which he uses in combat to test his level of mastery."
"Although he has now mastered the technique to this extent, he can't explain how he did it. It's as if the technique was obtained by chance and is difficult to replicate."
"Wow, that's amazing! Even better than me!"
Although Li Xingkong's current level is high, he has to admit that the class monitor's comprehension is indeed better than his.
"Where would I find that? I can't even do those miraculous tricks of yours."
Upon hearing Li Xingkong's whispered remark, Wu Ting immediately spoke up.
You're kidding. He knows his own strength best. He couldn't even stop Li Xingkong a few years ago, let alone now.
"Yeah, you've come at just the right time. How about we practice a bit?"
When it came to his methods, Wu Ting's eyes lit up. He used to fight against the humanoid figures in his mind every day. At first, he lost more than he won, but now he can easily take on two at once. His combat strength can no longer be honed by simple battles.
Now that he has met Li Xingkong, he is naturally somewhat tempted.
"I think that's fine too. I won't use magic or any extraordinary methods. Let's practice."
Speaking of combat, Li Xingkong was also eager to give it a try. He rarely took action and lacked combat experience; the last time he fought was on the moon, playing house with them using Spiritual Qi.
This is perfect timing. According to him, Wu Ting is the most experienced fighter on Earth Star right now. It's a good opportunity to have a match with him and see how well I perform in actual combat.
"Okay, let's go practice then."
Hearing Li Xingkong agree, Wu Ting was overjoyed. After years of arduous training, he could finally put his skills to the test and see the results of his cultivation.
