The Sixty-Fifth Chapter: The Students of Ding Huan

Genres:Martial Arts and Xianxia Last update:25/03/23 21:01:48
        Returning to the lab, Ding Huan threw the stone monkey aside and also took out the unknown little thing in her bag and threw it into the corner.

    Considering that the little thing might starve to death, Ding Huan also threw some food and water in front of it. Whether it eats or not is its own business.

    Ding Huan did not immediately search for the memory gene of the stone monkey; instead, she took out the eyebrow blood of the Great Desert Golden Ape.

    Searching for the memory gene of the stone monkey is just an incidental thing for Ding Huan; what she needs to do now is refine the Great Desert Golden Ape's Eye gene.

    This is a tedious and time-consuming task, and Ding Huan has already prepared mentally for it.

    However, with the Gene Devouring Technique, this will save Ding Huan a lot of time.

    As time goes by, various gene solvents are created by Ding Huan, and the data is recorded one by one.

    During the period when Ding Huan was doing gene experiments, Kong Dan had come up several times. Each time he came with a box of rice, but since the door of Ding Huan's laboratory remained closed, he could only take it away again.

    ...

    Great Han Academy.

    As one of the top ten Blue Star academies, even if it ranks last, it is a place that everyone yearns for.

    Fang Chong tossed a powderized Qi Stone to the side and exhaled a cloud of stale air before standing up.

    As a third-level gene cultivator, he spent nearly half a year cultivating to become a third-level gene cultivator.

    Li Wanran probably never dreamed that she joined Wubushe Mountain Estate for a Qi Stone, and he came to Great Han Academy after.

    The elderly president, Zhang Yongcheng, personally taught him and also gave him five Qi Stones.

    Moreover, he has the opportunity to visit the Treasure Hall three times a month to read various books in Great Han Academy.

    Fang Chong had never imagined that after entering Great Han Academy, he would receive so many resources.

    It seems that Lü Zǐ, as a guardian, wouldn't be too bad. However, for Li Wanran at Wubushe Mountain Estate, it would be difficult to obtain more cultivation resources besides that one Qi Stone.

    Qin Qian this woman, he can tell from a glance that she's not a good person. She definitely wouldn't let students have too much cultivation resources, probably not even enough for herself.

    Only after coming to Great Han Academy did he realize that Great Han Academy originated from Yiqinjing.

    However, he practiced the Thousand Network Gene Discipline, so he did not choose to practice the Great Han Way, which originated from Yiqinjing.

    But Fang Chong believed that choosing Great Han Academy was his most brilliant decision, no, it should be the most brilliant idea of Ding Huan teacher.

    Here, besides obtaining cultivation resources, he also learned the One Yang Finger.

    Of course, One Yang Finger was the name he gave himself.

    Just because he liked the cool and powerful One Yang Finger in novels.

    Actually, what he learned was One Finger Zen.

    In strict terms, One Finger Zen is not a cultivation method or a martial technique.

    One Finger Zen is a Zen Buddhism story that Fang Chong saw in the Treasure Hall of Great Han Academy while he was reading books.

    At first, when Fang Chong saw this story, he found it quite amusing.

    Because some martial artists created their own techniques with this name, One Finger Zen became a form of martial technique. Now he knows that One Finger Zen is actually just a small Zen Buddhist story, and not a technique at all.

    After leaving the Treasure Hall, Fang Chong suddenly had an idea. If others could create One Finger Zen, why couldn't he do the same?

    Who dictates how One Finger Zen should be performed? If what others created is One Finger Zen, then what he, Fang Chong, creates isn't? Moreover, with his thick inner Qi, using it solely for basic long fist techniques is a bit of a waste.

    Thinking about it, Fang Chong repeatedly gathered inner energy to the tip of his finger and then used his finger to attack wood.

    At first, the stronger the inner energy was gathered, the heavier the fingerprints left on the wood. But this method was very harmful to his hands. His fingers were often broken.

    The inner Qi cultivation was in place, but his fingers seemed to still be made of flesh and blood.

    If it weren't for Ding Huan teacher giving him injury-recovering gene medicine, he wouldn't have had enough time to recover even to practice One Finger Zen.

    Later, Fang Chong tried to figure out a way not to use his fingertips and wood for contact, but instead wanted to attack remotely through inner energy.

    The idea was good, but it was difficult to implement.

    Fang Chong didn't care, as long as he spent his days practicing the Thousand Network Gene Discipline and basic long boxing, he kept trying this method of externalizing inner energy repeatedly.

    It was easy to release inner energy externally, but it was difficult to gather it into a single point and even harder to control its force.

    To Fang Chong's surprise, he had been practicing the One Finger Zen simply as a pastime and a way to cultivate his inner energy.

    After four months, he actually released a beam of inner energy, which was very obedient and condensed into a single line, boring a small hole in the wood.

    This excited Fang Chong so much that he repeatedly refined the method of externalizing inner energy and adjusted the inner essence changes of his fingertips by repeatedly changing the direction of Qi flow through the Thousand Network Gene Discipline.

    In the fifth month, he finally created his own first little ritual, the One Yang Finger.

    When pointing out the finger, it needs to be coordinated with his own Thousand Network Gene Discipline's internal energy circuit. When the internal energy circulates through the fingers, an appropriate position is formed by changing the fingers to release a beam of internal energy.

    Fang Chong was not aware that this already fell into the realm of hand signs.

    Fang Chong didn't care about the clarity of theory. After learning the One Yang Finger, he almost practiced it every day.

    Compared to basic long boxing, the power of the One Yang Finger is too great.

    Within several cun's range, he could even use a single finger to bash through a piece of wood. Imagine if this was done to a person, who could endure it?

    "Fang Chong…" A crisp voice came.

    Fang Chong turned around and saw Aixi.

    Since Aixi had joined Great Han Academy with him, this was her first time witnessing the Daguan Easy Way, which originated from Yiqinjing.

    This made Aixi even more relieved that she had not made the wrong choice. However, she did not want to practice Yiqinjing, but instead wanted to cultivate the method taught by Ding Huan to Fang Chong.

    Fang Chong thought of what Ding Huan had told him. As long as he felt comfortable, he could teach it to others.

    Therefore, Fang Chong did not hesitate to pass on the Thousand Network Gene Discipline to Aixi.

    It must be said that compared to Fang Chong's potential enhanced by gene drugs, Aixi's potential is truly outstanding.

    Less than five months, Aixi's cultivation surpassed that of Fang Chong and is now a fourth-level gene cultivator.

    It is also the first student who cultivates faster than his teacher. Fang Chong, seeing this, decided to teach the basic long boxing to Aixi as well.

    "Fang Chong, look at my skills," said Aixi, her hands changing in the air like a burst of flowers. In less than a second, she raised her hand and struck out.

    From a distance, the wood was easily broken into two by Aixi's casual wave.

    Fang Chong, dazed, looked at Aixi. He thought he had already made a big breakthrough with his One Yang Finger. But Aixi had just casually swung her hand to form a blade of energy. If she were to swing at someone with this, wouldn't there be bits and pieces everywhere?

    "How powerful," Fang Chong murmured.

    Such prowess is probably beyond the capabilities of his mentor, Ding Huan.

    "Shall I teach you?" Aixi said with a smiling face.

    She was very grateful to Fang Chong for not holding back and teaching her the Thousand Network Gene Discipline, so when she created a Wind Blade with the Qi flow of the Thousand Network Gene Discipline, she came to teach Fang Chong.

    "Of course, I'll also give you something good," Fang Chong quickly said. He decided to pass on his One Yang Finger to Aixi as well.

    ...

    Lü Zǐ emerged from the Wushu Estate of the Guardian, sweating profusely. He could only practice basic long boxing at the training estate every day, and he also received Daguan Knife Law personally from President Li Chuan.

    He has now cultivated to the perfection of a third-level gene cultivator, just one step away from reaching the fourth-level gene cultivator.

    However, he doesn't have the cultivation method for the Thousand Network Gene Discipline after level three, so he can only stagnate at the third-level gene cultivator level.

    However, the basic long boxing and Daguan Knife Law that he is practicing now have taken shape.

    "Ah, it seems that I still need to go find Teacher Ding Huan, otherwise I have no way to make further progress on my own." Lü Zǐ sighed and prepared to take a bath.

    "Lü Xuetè, do you want to sign up for the Blue Star Ten Schools to send people to the Human Corridor Defense Line?" A rough voice came.

    Lü Zǐ turned around and saw that it was his senior brother, Zhang Qiang, who was two years earlier than him at the Guardian.

    Zhang Qiang was not a gene cultivator but a martial artist, ranking among the top in the Guardian. It was said that he had stepped into the martial arts of the mysterious level a year ago.

    "Zhang Xuetè, will all ten colleges of the Blue Star send people?" Lü Zǐ asked.

    Chang Qiang smiled and said, "According to the rules, first-year students are not required to go. But I know your strength is not weak, so I invited you to join me. There are many good things on the Human Corridor Defense Line.

    Not only the rewards are amazing, but also you can obtain various spiritual drugs. Just the rewards, if you can obtain an International Star Guardian rank, it will make you laugh to death.”

    The term "spiritual drugs" is a recent one, referring to an upgraded version of mutated herbs.

    This type of medicine surpasses the level of mutated herbs, and even good spiritual drugs can reach a level where they can cleanse and refine one's bones and hair.

    "I'll go." Lü Zǐ agreed after only a moment's hesitation.

    Ding Huan had said that true strength is forged in actual combat.

    To obtain an International Star Guardian rank, one can only go to the Human Corridor Defense Line.

    Once this Star Guardian rank is obtained, it is not just the tangible benefits, but also a supreme honor wherever one goes.

    Even if one doesn't get the Star Guardian rank, there are other rewards besides the spiritual drugs, such as yuanqi stones. He had received five of them when he first came in, and now they are all used up.

    After meeting Ding Huan teacher, he would collect yuanqi stones as soon as he obtained the later cultivation methods. Since that's the case, why not go to the defense line early to collect them?
