Chapter 68 Spiritual Cloak
Thursday.
Technical training courses.
A-4 Training Ground.
While everyone waited.
A gust of wind swept across the training ground, making it impossible for everyone to open their eyes.
Immediately afterward, a whirlwind formed in front of the students of the Upper Academy, and a tall figure slowly materialized—it was Li Ding.
"Wow, it's Teacher Li."
"How did they do that?" everyone asked curiously.
The teacher in front of me, Mr. Li, was dressed in the exquisite uniform of Luojiang Academy. He had a well-proportioned figure and looked like a gentleman.
Li Ding placed one hand across his abdomen and the other behind his back, and chuckled:
"Elementalization, in theory, can be achieved by any extraordinary talent in the elemental system."
"Teacher, does elementalization grant immunity to physical attacks?"
Li Dingdao nodded. "It's obvious."
"Not only physical attacks, but also most magical attacks and spiritual attacks."
Fei Xiaobao exclaimed, "Wow, does that mean I'm invincible from now on?"
"Invincible?"
Li Ding laughed and said, "It's still early. You can transform into an element, and spiritual cultivators and martial cultivators naturally have ways to deal with it. However, the power of elemental transformation is undeniable, and it is also very practical in various aspects of combat."
"Alright, let's not talk about that now, let's get to class."
Everyone quickly stood up straight, eager to see what Li Ding would teach them.
"You've already been to the Spirit Tower, right? I won't take you there. Those of you with extraordinary talents who have their own Qi Absorption Techniques can just cultivate step by step. Those students who are still using basic Qi Absorption Techniques should go to the academy as soon as possible to buy an advanced Qi Absorption Technique, at least level 3, otherwise you will easily fall behind."
One student said, "Teacher, I have so many points, but the level 3 Qi Absorption Method has tens of thousands of points."
"Yes, teacher, it's too expensive."
Many students complained.
Li Ding gestured with his hand, "Go get a loan. You should know that a level 3 Qi Gathering technique at the academy only costs 1 points, but outside it's worth at least several times that. Be content."
"I know, I've already taken out a loan, but I'm under a lot of pressure. I've only just stepped into the extraordinary realm and I'm already carrying so much burden."
Li Ding laughed and said, "Go back and do more tasks, be more diligent, and you can pay it back in one or two semesters."
No student who can enter the Upper Academy is a fool. They know that if they can advance one step in cultivation, they will advance one step at a time. As long as they keep up with the top students and stay in the Upper Academy, they will definitely not lose out.
"After these days of training, I believe that most students have already absorbed a considerable amount of spiritual energy into their Shenque acupoints."
"Today's first lesson is to teach you how to better utilize spiritual energy. We'll start by teaching you how to condense a spiritual energy cloak."
Li Ding said, "Everyone, stand back a bit."
"Let's see how it explodes."
Everyone looked at each other.
"Hurry up, it's just a burst of energy, it's not like we're going to make your clothes explode."
Upon hearing this...
Qin Tian was the first to unleash his spiritual energy, which exploded and enveloped him in white light.
Xue Cheng, who was standing nearby, was pushed aside by the shockwave.
"Qin Tian, I didn't do anything to you, did I?" Xue Cheng said irritably.
Then spiritual energy also erupted.
The training ground burst into bloom like fireworks.
One after another, like the tail of a rocket, they spewed out colorful spiritual energy.
Li Ding circled around the crowd.
"All is well; your spiritual energy cultivation hasn't lagged behind."
"Qin Tian, Xiao Weiqing, and Wei Lan are a pleasant surprise, especially Xiao Weiqing, whose Divine Palace is almost complete."
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Xiao Weiqing in shock.
"What?"
"Is it almost perfect?"
"How is that possible?"
"It's only been a few days?"
Li Ding continued, "Not only that, look at them, especially Wei Lan, and then look at yourselves. Do you see any difference?"
Fei Xiaobao asked, "What's the difference?"
Yin Tiantian muttered to herself, "So what if she's a little cuter, has a better figure, and is a little bigger?"
"Hmph, what's so great about it?"
"Sister Yin, this is no small matter," Fei Xiaobao said with a smile.
"Get lost, you fatso."
Fei Xiaobao: "..."
Xue Cheng said, "It's the density of spiritual energy, isn't it?" His was not bad either, but it was still far inferior to the three of them.
Li Ding nodded, "That's right, Qin Tian's success is due to his extraordinary talent, Xiao Weiqing's to the quality of his spiritual energy, and Wei Lan's to his mental strength."
"Their spiritual energy covers their bodies in a more concentrated and even way than yours."
"To me, the spiritual garments of the rest of you are like tattered cotton-padded coats, while those three are like cracked leather armor."
As he spoke, Li Ding extended his palm, which was long and fair.
"This is what true spiritual essence should look like."
As the palm opened, spiritual energy overflowed, like a crystal-clear glove on the hand, but no one doubted the defensive power of this spiritual energy.
"That's all you need to do."
"Alright, let the spiritual energy dissipate."
"Qin Tian, go over there and bring that box over here," Li Ding instructed.
"Yes."
Qin Tian brought over a box, opened it, and revealed inside were several black rulers, each two feet long and three fingers wide.
"One for each person."
"This ruler is called the Qi Dispersing Ruler. It is made of special materials. It can disperse any loose spiritual energy with a single tap."
"Get the ruler, pair up, and stand facing each other," Li Ding said with ill intent.
Upon hearing this, the upper-class students roughly knew what was going to happen.
"Hey fatso, come on." Zhuang Yu approached Fei Xiaobao.
"Come on then, I'm not afraid of you." Fei Xiaobao and Zhuang Yu stood face to face.
Duan Shuyu approached Xue Cheng.
Qin Tian approached Xiao Weiqing, his gaze intense, his meaning crystal clear: "Shall we two come?"
Yin Tiantian, looking unconvinced, approached Wei Lan and said, "Wei Lan, shall we give it a try?"
"No!" x2
Xiao Weiqing and Wei Lan refused without hesitation. "Are you out of your minds? What's the point of coming here with you?"
Then Xiao Weiqing and Wei Lan walked to the side, faced each other, and smiled at each other.
Qin Tian and Yin Tiantian were left feeling dejected.
Seeing that everyone was ready, Li Ding said, "Are you all ready?"
"Holding a ruler in the left hand, spiritual energy overflows from the right."
Everyone did as instructed.
Li Ding, like an aristocrat, patrolled around the students, pointing and occasionally nodding.
Five minutes later.
"They're all pretty good."
Li Ding said softly, "Now, everyone, raise your left hand, and then..."
He hadn't finished speaking.
"Snap!"
The crisp sound echoed across the training ground.
"Ah!~~~"
The screams were heart-wrenching.
"You fat bastard, I'll fuck your grandpa!"
Before Li Ding could finish speaking, Fei Xiaobao slammed a ruler down hard on Zhuang Yu's right hand, making the ruler curve.
The spiritual energy in Zhuang Yu's palm dissipated the instant the ruler made contact, leaving a large red patch on his palm.
Li Ding laughed and said, "Not bad, very powerful, just like that."
Upon hearing this...
Zhuang Yu's arm veins bulged, and he jumped up, slapping hard down on Fei Xiaobao's right hand.
The ruler whistled as it struck Fei Xiaobao's palm.
"Oops! ~~~~~~~"
Fei Xiaobao jumped two meters high.
then.
Screams echoed across the training ground.
Wei Lan felt a chill run down her spine. "Brother Qing, I'm a little scared."
Xiao Weiqing teased, "Don't worry, I'll be gentle."
"Um."
Wei Lan squinted, her face full of fear, "You come on, but be gentle."
"Don't worry, I'm here."
"Snapped!"
"Ah~~"
Wei Lan screamed in pain, tears welling up in her eyes, "It hurts so much."
Xiao Weiqing was taken aback. "I didn't use much force."
Li Ding walked over and chuckled, "The Qi-Dispersing Ruler's ability to disperse spiritual energy is related to the force with which you swing it, but it's more about restraining spiritual energy. The more relaxed your spiritual energy is, the more it will hurt."
Xiao Weiqing nodded.
Wei Lan's eyes lit up upon hearing this.
"Brother Qing, let me do it."
"bring it on."
Wei Lan forcefully slapped Xiao Weiqing's hand.
"Smack!"
"Hmph!"
Xiao Weiqing felt a numbness in his palm, followed by a piercing pain that shot straight to his head, and he almost couldn't maintain the spiritual energy in his hand.
"You don't need to use so much force."
Wei Lan chuckled and said, "Didn't Teacher Li say it doesn't have much to do with the force of swinging the ruler? I'd like to think about giving it a try."
Xiao Weiqing glared at Wei Lan with annoyance.
Li Ding stood in front of the crowd.
"Now you know what to do, right? Manipulate spiritual energy, be precise and focused, continue."
"Oh, again?"
Li Ding said, "This is just the beginning. This morning, we'll try our best to make the hands and arms look good."
"How can a teacher be considered to have performed adequately?"
"If the air condenses but doesn't disperse after being tested with a diffuser, it's considered合格 (qualified/acceptable)."
"Teacher, what should I do if I don't pass?"
Li Ding smiled gently and said, "It's alright, you can take the ruler home and practice on your own. I'll ask Teacher Sun to check it tomorrow."
"No way?"
Li Ding, with a stern face, asked, "Hmm? Are you cultivating for my sake?"
"Whether you're good or bad, the academy won't give me an extra point."
Zhuang Yu sighed, "Come on, you fatso, let's make this clear first, everyone be quiet and don't let personal grudges get involved."
Fei Xiaobao grinned and said, "Don't worry, I'll be absolutely gentle!"
After a while.
The A-4 training ground was filled with cries of agony, a scene resembling a living hell.
It was almost noon.
The hands of each of the hundred students in the upper house were as red as iron rods, but the effect was remarkable, as if a new world had opened up for them.
The rest is just a matter of practicing slowly until your whole body can do it to that extent.
Li Ding said, "That's all for today. Those of you who haven't finished yet should work harder. This is not only related to your actual combat strength, but also to your future battles against monsters."
"Especially for martial arts students, you often need to fight monsters in close combat, so the spiritual energy coat is like an extra layer of protection."
"Let's call it a day."
The group left the training ground with swollen, red hands.
