Everyone Was Delighted
The methods for practicing the Lightning Avoidance Technique and the Ceasefire Technique are similar.
Just as the Ceasefire Technique allows Law Power Law Power to form a protective layer through the body's orifices to avoid swords, the Lightning Avoidance Technique also forms a similar Law Power layer, insulating against the onslaught of lightning.
Both evasion techniques involve the use of Law Power, but the ways in which they operate the Law Power are completely different, resulting in different effects.
"Six thousand three hundred and twenty-six acupoints, is he more suited to practicing the Lightning Avoidance Technique?"
The results of Zhang Xuezhou's first practice of the Grain Avoidance Technique are still vivid in his mind.
In addition, Zhang Xuezhou, who practiced the Grain Avoidance Technique, opened a Grain Avoidance cycle of 986 acupoints, and then repeatedly practiced it to increase this number to 2,143 acupoints.
However, when practicing the Lightning Avoidance Technique, Zhang Xuezhou connected more than six thousand acupoints in the Lightning Avoidance Technique's cycle.
This is less than two thousand units away from the limit set by the Emperor.
The leap in this process was so great that it transformed Zhang Xuezhou from an ordinary cultivator into a minor cultivation genius.
Zhang Xuezhou's cultivation progressed so quickly that the Emperor and Empress felt somewhat overwhelmed during their debate.
The Emperor and Empress felt that they had made a mistake in persuading Zhang Xuezhou to choose the right cultivation method. If they had chosen a more conventional method, Zhang Xuezhou's cultivation would not have progressed so quickly.
This rapid pace of cultivation undoubtedly increases the difficulty for them to refine the Divine Sense Strengthening Mantra.
"It's alright, there are still seven introductory mantras for reference. Besides, his progress in the Grain Avoidance technique isn't fast, so it can be used as a reference for future reference!"
The Emperor moved his lips to transmit his voice.
The emperor and empress were in a flurry of activity, and he wasn't much better off.
Zhang Xuezhou's speed in practicing the Lightning Avoidance Technique was very fast, far exceeding the normal speed they needed to seriously study it.
However, they couldn't persuade Zhang Xuezhou to slow down his cultivation and breakthrough of acupoints. He wasn't a great cultivator who had entered the True Self Realm, and couldn't achieve such effortless mastery.
For Zhang Xuezhou, the fact that the other party could cultivate so quickly was already quite remarkable.
If their influence makes it difficult for the other person to make any progress in their cultivation, then it would be a greater loss than gain.
"Six thousand three hundred and twenty-six orifices!"
A thin blue film covered Zhang Xuezhou's body. Whenever there was thunder and lightning, Zhang Xuezhou would either avoid going out or curse himself while walking outside.
However, Zhang Xuezhou only did a quick calculation of the lightning's power, and then considered the distance of 108,000 apertures, which gave him no intention of conducting an experiment.
Using the various acupoints discovered through the Grain Avoidance Technique, Zhang Xuezhou found practicing the Lightning Avoidance Technique much easier, and this could even be applied to other similar techniques.
"I need to raise my cultivation level in reality to the True Spirit Realm as well, and then use the X446 body repair technology to sense my acupoints. This will effectively enhance my ability to cultivate techniques, so that my teacher and master's wife won't think my cultivation ability is too poor!"
The practice of techniques is always simple in the early stages, becomes increasingly difficult in the middle stages, and becomes extremely challenging in the later stages.
While Zhang Xuezhou opens hundreds or even thousands of acupoints at a time, the number of acupoints he can open after repeated cultivation will inevitably decrease significantly, and the number will become increasingly scarce as time goes on.
It is not surprising if one day, after diligent practice, one opens several acupoints, or even fails to open any at all.
In reality, gene technology has provided Zhang Xuezhou with a way to rapidly improve his abilities.
The X446 body repair technology is an extremely suitable method for Grain Avoidance Bigu Technique. As long as Zhang Xuezhou is in that solution, his body pores will open up to absorb substances that are beneficial to his body, which also allows Zhang Xuezhou to find the key points in the technique relatively quickly.
This can also be quickly applied to other circumvention methods.
Zhang Xuezhou used to think that the Nine Paths Technique would take him years or even decades to achieve even a minor success, but this shortcut filled him with confidence.
"The saying 'Master one method and you master all methods' perfectly describes this situation!"
Remembering that the male head nurse at the university's medical center had mentioned giving Zhang Xuezhou an explanation, Zhang Xuezhou thought it would be best if the other party gave him another free X446 body repair technique after some time.
"It seems that Teacher Ren has taken over that medical center!"
Zhang Xuezhou's mind wandered, but he quickly put a stop to his thoughts of taking advantage.
It's fine for him to swindle the Wang family, but it's unethical for him to swindle the Ren Household's assets.
Given Ren Yisheng's current financial situation, it would be very painful for him to donate such expensive medical technology for free.
However, Zhang Xuezhou was not in a hurry. When he and Zhang Manqian were exchanging information, they learned that Feiyu Live had already made tens of millions in profit.
The rapid pace at which he accumulated funds through risky live streaming meant he wasn't overly worried about lacking the funds to acquire medical technology in the future.
"Students should strive to perform as well as possible in the future!"
After a brief moment of reflection, Zhang Xuezhou was also delighted.
His first attempt at practicing the Grain Avoidance technique earned him praise from the Emperor, and his progress in practicing the Lightning Avoidance Technique this time, after exhausting his Law Power, was quite satisfactory to Zhang Xuezhou. Zhang Xuezhou felt that the Emperor should be even more satisfied.
Zhang Xuezhou wasn't very confident in his initial practice of these avoidance techniques, but he found a 'shortcut,' so his chances of success were very high.
This also allows Zhang Xuezhou to enter and exit the secret area normally.
"Very good!"
The Emperor wore a smile.
Putting aside the minor troubles caused to his research by Zhang Xuezhou's rapid cultivation, the other party truly deserved his praise.
A normal cultivator at the fourth realm can open around eight thousand acupoints. Zhang Xuezhou is not far from the threshold. As long as he practices diligently, it is only a matter of time before Zhang Xuezhou reaches eight thousand acupoints.
How far beyond what a normal fourth-realm cultivator can reach is also a question that the Emperor is concerned about.
His praise for Zhang Xuezhou after he started practicing Grain Avoidance was somewhat insincere, as he didn't want to dampen Zhang Xuezhou's enthusiasm for practice, but his brief praise at this moment was sincere.
"Grain Avoidance is not good for your health. Go to the Golden Crow's place and eat some food. Once your Law Power recovers, you can try the Lightning Avoidance Technique or other spells!"
The Emperor gestured, and Zhang Xuezhou, whose stomach was empty, responded with a sound and then leaped up.
Its bronze wings fully unfolded a few seconds later, and then it flew across the water like an arrow.
"Unlucky!"
Only after Zhang Xuezhou left did the Emperor and Empress formally utter a complaint.
"Don't rush," the Emperor said with a smile.
"I can't help but be anxious. Now that he has mastered 6,326 acupoints, it will be much easier for him to cultivate other techniques," the Empress said. "In fact, as he continues to cultivate the techniques, he may even learn faster and faster by drawing inferences from similar cases!"
"There are over 100,000 acupoints, and the 6,000-plus acupoints are only a small fraction of the acupoints throughout the body," the Emperor said. "Finding acupoints is easy in the early stages of cultivation but difficult in the later stages. Although the total number of acupoints for each avoidance technique is the same, the cultivation methods for each technique are completely different, meaning it is difficult to repeatedly obtain the benefits from them."
"You're right, I was too hasty," the Emperor and Empress said.
"Unless he can master one of the avoidance techniques to a high level, or even to perfection, he will not be able to rapidly improve his cultivation of the other eight techniques," the Emperor said.
"Good!"
"In fact, pushing him to learn more and more techniques will only slow down his cultivation, and ultimately make our research easier and more enjoyable," the Emperor said.
"Won't this affect him?"
"Jiang Shang only took command when he was eighty or ninety years old. His abilities when he attacked the Human Emperor were not even third-rate. It's not a big problem if he's a little slower!"
The Emperor waved his hand, clearly not caring whether Zhang Xuezhou had cultivated for thirty or fifty years.
For long-lived individuals like them, thirty to fifty years is indeed not a long time.
If it takes 30 to 50 years to accomplish a major life event, it's absolutely worth it.
He murmured to himself, discussing with the Emperor and Empress the dazzling array of civilian buildings in the new world, the kind of pressure cooker Zhang Xuezhou had mentioned, and even the massive flow of people he could feel.
Although the scene lasted less than ten seconds, when what they saw and heard were completely consistent, the emperor and empress lost their composure, and the emperor himself could not suppress his joy.
