Chapter 998: Chapter 60: In the Dragon Court, the Speedrun Begins! (15,000) (Part 2)
"Swish swish~"
Gray rainwater began to fall around, as the mounds of earth turned into ash, flew into the sky, and mixed with the rain.
Swipe swipe~
The remaining clones of Wang Tianzhi and Zhao Xing all left this now violent region.
After the sparring session, it’s time for summary and analysis.
"Chen An, your move was really quite excellent," praised Wang Tianzhi. "Even my Heavenly Thunder Body felt the pain."
"You’re too kind," Zhao Xing respectfully replied. "My slight progress is thanks to your nurture, Dean."
After resigning from all official positions, Wang Tianzhi returned to the main academy and accepted the position of Dean of the Heavenly Thunder Institute.
He immersed himself in the principles of the Magic, and happened to meet Zhao Xing, who was looking for someone to teach him Thunder Techniques.
Grand Minister of Agriculture Li Boqian was too busy, and the guidance from a third-level Thunder Technique expert seemed insufficient, while first-level experts were all occupied.
Wang Tianzhi happened to be a suitable candidate and proactively sought Zhao Xing to train him in Thunder Techniques.
One wouldn’t know until practicing; once they started, it was astonishing.
That’s when Wang Tianzhi deeply realized the terrifying talent Zhao Xing had in cultivation.
"The Yin Thunder section of the Xuantian Thunder Technique, realized from the Great Cold solar term, consists of three secret techniques."
"’Three Yin Thunder Seal’, ’Cold Evil Thunder Domain’, ’Five Elements Yin Thunder Realm’."
"You’ve mastered the Cold Evil Thunder Domain in less than a year, and have achieved such transformations. It can no longer be called a slight change."
Wang Tianzhi was quite moved.
Mastering ’Near and Far’ is nothing special; he knows it too!
But being able to modify and adapt ’Near and Far’ to better suit oneself,
and during combat, integrate this peculiar Cloud Technique into the Cold Evil Thunder Domain,
that’s truly rare!
No wonder the people at Shangluo Academy held Zhao Xing in such high regard, saying he was a sect-founding level genius.
"This move of yours also blocks the path of others who know ’Near and Far’."
"Employing various teleportation and dodging secret techniques using Cloud Dao, even weaker Second Grade students would fall for this move in a civil war," evaluated Wang Tianzhi.
The essence of ’Near and Far’ is using the momentum difference of the Cloud Dao to teleport,
but once Zhao Xing’s thousands of clones started using it, others had no way to escape.
Aside from enduring it head-on, the alternative is to forcibly counter it like him, using perfected top-level techniques paired with stronger Thunder True Intent.
Wang Tianzhi looked at Zhao Xing.
"You just forced me to use seventy percent of my strength in the Dao of Thunder Techniques."
"At this stage, there isn’t much more I can teach you."
Indeed, even if Wang Tianzhi were to use the Cold Evil Thunder Domain, it would only suppress others through sheer power levels.
In terms of technique, there isn’t much left to teach.
Zhao Xing’s move, combining ’Near and Far’ with the Cold Evil Thunder Domain, even Wang Tianzhi couldn’t learn.
Because he didn’t have the Ten Thousand Skill Avatar.
"Chen An, you can now leave the Thunder Institute," Wang Tianzhi said with a smile, "When you reach a higher level in the future, you can come to find me at the meditation spot again."
"Thank you, Dean, for your guidance," Zhao Xing respectfully replied. "Xing, takes his leave."
Watching Zhao Xing’s departing back, Wang Tianzhi took out the Earth Mirror.
"Tianzhi, what’s the matter?"
Holding the Earth Mirror, Wang Tianzhi said, "Senior Brother, could you make some time each year?"
"Why? I’m very busy, with many official duties to handle every day."
Looking at the image in the Earth Mirror, Wang Tianzhi was at a loss for words.
Senior Brother, how are you busy?
You’re clearly just lying by the pool, sunbathing and sipping juice!
"Senior Brother, I want you to train me!" Wang Tianzhi said in a deep voice.
"Oh? That’s really something new," said Li Boqian, placing his Liu Li cup aside, showing interest.
Wang Tianzhi hadn’t said this in decades.
What stimulated this?
"How do you want to train?"
Wang Tianzhi said: "The highest level of special training! Regardless of going to the Extreme Ice Sea Eye or the Earth Fire Abyss... In short, I want to become stronger!"
Seeing Wang Tianzhi’s serious demeanor, Li Boqian couldn’t help but laugh, "Alright!"
...
Zhao Xing was completely unaware that because of him, Wang Tianzhi had applied to Li Boqian for a harsh hellish training.
After leaving the Thunder Institute, he returned to the Marquis Transformation Institute.
Meanwhile, the other clones cultivating in Xuantian Academy also finished their special training on April 25th.
Inside the Wanhua Cave Heaven.
"Whoosh~"
A medium-sized Fire Chi flew to the lakeside.
"Dean," Zhao Xing transformed into human form, looking at the large Chi Dragon lying by the lake as if in deep sleep.
"Leaving?" The large Chi Dragon opened its eyes, like bronze bells.
"Yes, I should leave. There are less than two months until the Dragon Court Ancient Land opens, and it takes time to get there," Zhao Xing respectfully replied.
"Remember, don’t tell anyone about the situation of Wanhua Cave Heaven."
"Yes, I vow on my Three Souls not to speak of it to anyone," Zhao Xing vowed with bent fingers.
"Hmm, go then." Ling Tianchen closed his eyes again.
"The student takes his leave."
The main body soared into the sky, quickly leaving Wanhua Cave Heaven.
He quickly emerged at a deserted mountain hollow in the outside world.
Zhao Xing glanced back at the Grotto Heaven entrance, then carefully left through the numerous formations.
He already knew the entry and exit method of Wanhua Cave Heaven, which Ling Tianchen had taught him.
So this time, Ling Tianchen did not need to send him out again.
"Roar~"
Activating Fire Chi Transformation, Zhao Xing quickly arrived at the villa in Hu Yang arranged for him by Zhang Tianxing.
By this time, King Heavenly Destiny had been waiting for a while.
"Prince."
"Zhao Xing, you finally came out." King Heavenly Destiny showed a hint of joy in his eyes, and as soon as he spoke, he knew that the figure before him was indeed Zhao Xing’s real self. "Let’s go quickly, time is pressing. We still need to return to Pinghai State."
"Wait a moment," Zhao Xing used ’Near and Far’ to quickly find Hu Yang and Zhang Tianxing.
