Chapter 136: Five Lightning Whips
Qin Chuan heard laughter from the training hall.
The students of the Combat specialization were actively practicing their spells.
Now, everyone in the sect had completed the basic preparations, be it the first or second batch.
Half a month ago, Qin Chuan had taught the Combat specialization a set of physical techniques and spells.
Qin Chuan arrived at the training hall.
The students of the Combat specialization immediately stopped what they were doing and bowed to Qin Chuan.
“Sect Master!”
Qin Chuan swept his gaze across the room and said in a deep voice, “I am here today is to check on everyone’s cultivation progress. I want to see how everyone is doing.”
Someone quickly raised his hand.
“Sect Master, watch me first.”
“Sect Master, I’m already very proficient.”
“Sect Master, don’t listen to their nonsense. Check mine first.”
…
Everyone fought to be the first to present the results of their cultivation over the past few days. The hall was in chaos.
When he saw how enthusiastic everyone was, Qin Chuan felt gratified.
With their pa.s.sion for cultivation, he didn’t need to worry about his cultivation career not flouris.h.i.+ng.
“Everyone, don’t be anxious. There’s plenty of time. We’ll go one by one.”
“Let’s start with you!” Qin Chuan pointed to a person.
“Yes, Sect Master.”
Everyone quickly dispersed, leaving a s.p.a.ce in the middle.
“You can begin!” Qin Chuan said.
It became silent.
Everyone focused their attention on the center of the hall.
That person stood very straight like an iron pole.
The True Qi in his body was like water flowing beneath a small bridge, adhering to the surface of his body at a uniform speed.
Suddenly, he stomped on the ground with both feet. His entire aura was like a sharp blade, making one’s eyes light up.
Ha!
This person let out a loud shout and presented profound footwork. His hands were like noodles as he waved rapidly in the air. His movements were natural and smooth. Additionally, he also let out lightning-like thunderclaps.
Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa!
There were five loud bangs.
The sound stopped, and his movement ended.
“Sect Master, the ‘Five Lightning Whips’ has been completed.” The person cupped his hands and bowed.
Qin Chuan nodded.
The ‘Five Lightning Whips’ was the first physical technique he taught to the Combat specialization.
It was a stage one technique, one at the lowest level.
However, it was not to be belittled as a stage one technique. On the contrary, among all stage one physical techniques, it was the most difficult one.
Furthermore, this physical technique incorporated both offense and defense. Thus, it was equivalent to mastering two techniques.
Besides, the most crucial point was that this technique also had a special effect.
[Special Effect]: To give justice to martial arts. Each time you defeat a unit using Five Lightning Whips, the might will increase by 1%.
Based on this effect alone, Qin Chuan felt that the Five Lightning Whips was not inferior to a stage three technique.
Therefore, everyone in the Combat specialization had to master it.
A few hours later, Qin Chuan finished watching the physical techniques displayed by everyone in the training.
On the whole, their mastery was not bad, but they still had a long way to go to perfect it.
After they showed their physical techniques, it was time for the spells.
The dharma spells were also very basic. The first spell that Qin Chuan taught them was the Sword Kinesis Spell.
Sword kinesis was one of the skills that all cultivators had to master.
If they did not learn it, they wouldn’t be able to use the Sword Kinesis Flight or Sword Kinesis Battle in the future.
These people from the Combat specialization cultivated physical skills before cultivating dharma spells.
Therefore, only a few people knew how to use the Sword Kinesis Spell.
Qin Chuan didn’t blame them.
Cultivation was a very long process. So it was very good to have such progress in just half a month.
Just like that, Qin Chuan left the Combat specialization and headed to the other specializations to take a look.
It took him almost a day to finish going around.
Qin Chuan now had a grasp of the cultivation progress of the various specializations. Overall, he was quite satisfied.
Qin Chuan was very confident that as long as everyone maintained their current conditions, they would definitely be able to achieve their small goal.
…
Cultivation was boring.
Another week pa.s.sed.
Today, a few people came to look for Qin Chuan.
First was w.a.n.g Zhixing’s family.
When Qin Chuan saw them, he guessed that something must have happened.
“Grandpa w.a.n.g, what’s the matter?”
w.a.n.g Zhixing directly said, “Sect Master, Huan Huan is still young. Jiajun and Juan want Huanhuan to go back and get educated, then come back to cultivate after school or during the holidays.”
Qin Chuan didn’t overthink it and immediately replied, “No problem.
“Huan Huan’s situation is indeed a little special. After all, she has a nine-year compulsory education to complete. I won’t force her to stay here and cultivate. ”
w.a.n.g Zhixing continued, “After Huan Huan goes back to school, Jiajun and Juan have to go back to take care of her, so…”
Qin Chuan smiled. “That’s not a problem either, I will allow it. Other than that, is there anything else?”
w.a.n.g Zhixing shook his head. “No.”
“Sure, if there’s anything else in the future, feel free to speak up.”
Thus, w.a.n.g Zhixing’s family left first.
Then, another person approached him.
Qin Chuan had an impression of this person. It was Fu Xuemei from the Alchemy specialization.
She was part of the first batch of Alchemy students.
Her mastery of alchemy skills was quite good. Her production rate had always been above 85%.
Hence, Qin Chuan asked, “Aunt Fu, why are you looking for me today?”
Fu Xuemei asked, “Sect Master, I’d like to ask what is the date in the outside world?”
Qin Chuan counted with his fingers and asked, “August 29th, what’s wrong?”
When Fu Xuemei heard this, her expression changed, but she quickly heaved a sigh of relief.
“Oh, thank G.o.d. There’s still time.
Qin Chuan couldn’t understand, so he asked again, “Aunt Fu, what exactly happened?”
“My granddaughter is starting university tomorrow.
“She told me she hoped that I could go to school with her when she goes to university.
“Therefore, before the day has yet to pa.s.s, I hope Sect Master can agree to my request.”
Qin Chuan nodded his head; he had experienced this situation before.
He thought back to the first time he went to university. His maternal and paternal grandparents had come along.
They were afraid that he would not be able to live outside alone.
He was touched now that he thought back to it.
Hence, Qin Chuan agreed to Fu Xuemei’s request.
…
As it was currently nighttime outside, Qin Chuan personally sent Fu Xuemei back to her estate.
“When you are done, crush the jade talisman, and I will come to fetch you immediately.”
“Yes, Sect Master.”
After giving his instructions, Qin Chuan left.
…
After returning home, Fu Xuemei found her granddaughter’s number and called her.
“h.e.l.lo, granddaughter! It’s Grandma.”
“Grandma?” A surprised voice came from the other end of the phone.
Because Fu Xuemei had become younger, her voice was completely unlike that of an old woman.
Fu Xuemei obviously did not realize this.
She continued, “Granddaughter! You’re going to university tomorrow, aren’t you? I’ve decided to come with you.”
There was silence on the other end of the phone for two to three seconds before they spoke again.
“I’ve been in university for a month already.”
Fu Xuemei was surprised. “Isn’t school starting tomorrow? Why has it been a month already?”
“Because it was brought forward.”
“Ah! How could such a thing happen?” Fu Xuemei instantly became exceptionally fl.u.s.tered.
The start of school for inst.i.tutions of higher learning being brought forward was announced on the third day after the announcement for the construction of the high wall.
Fu Xuemei had been cultivating in the sect all this while and was naturally unaware of happenings in the outside world.
After hanging up, Fu Xuemei paced back and forth in the room, looking very anxious.
“Why was it brought forward?”
“Then, didn’t I break my promise?
“She must be very disappointed in me!”
Fu Xuemei felt very ashamed.
Although she could no longer fulfill her wish to accompany her granddaughter to university, if she knew that his granddaughter had already gone to university and did not visit her, she would have been even more in the wrong.
From the conversation earlier, Fu Xuemei could sense that her granddaughter was in low spirits.
Because of this, Fu Xuemei crushed the jade talisman.
