Chapter 120: Chapter 120: Imparting Skills

Chen Pu looked at Cai Long’s disappointed and frightened face, his tone softening a bit.

"Why do you think the state promotes the Righteous Qi Technique? It is hoping that the vast majority of people will lay a purely neutral foundation in the True Martial Realm, leaving ample room for future choices.

"But there are always people like you who, due to their physique, encounters, or early exposure to specific resources, cause their True Qi to deviate naturally. Fortunately..." Chen Pu turned around, pointing his finger at the wall behind him. "In the current Spiritual Qi environment, although Water Attribute and Ice Cold Attribute Spiritual Talents are also precious, compared to some obscure attributes, there are relatively more channels to obtain them. You can only choose from these."

The light screen displayed names of Cultivation Techniques such as Ren Water: Celestial River Reversal, Gui Water·Cold Abyss Ice Formation Technique, and Profound Ice: Extreme Freeze Heaven-Splitting Technique.

Looking at these names, Cai Long realized that although they lacked the flashiness of a Thunder Skill, when thinking about the consequences of attribute conflict, he could only resign himself to his fate.

He hesitated for a moment and pointed at the Profound Ice: Extreme Freeze Heaven-Splitting Technique. "Teacher, then I will choose this one. At least it sounds like it can split the heavens, which gives it an imposing aura."

Chen Pu nodded, gesturing for him to submit his choice again. Cai Long did so with a bitter look on his face.

Next, it was Fang Chen’s turn. He submitted his chosen Cultivation Technique.

When Chen Pu’s gaze landed on the Yin Yang Two Forms Creation Skill, his brows visibly furrowed. He looked up and scrutinized Fang Chen up and down with particular seriousness.

Lei Hong grinned and muttered almost inaudibly, "Heh, another glutton for punishment."

Chen Pu looked at Fang Chen for several seconds before speaking slowly, his voice deeper than before. "’Celestial Tier, Yin Yang Two Forms Creation Skill.’ " He seemed to be confirming it, or perhaps stating a fact.

"Do you know?" Chen Pu said, locking his gaze onto Fang Chen. "This Cultivation Technique is classified in the ’Celestial’ tier. Although it hasn’t been removed, the required Yin and Yang Qi and the Chaos Defining Essence Spirit Guide are of the highest order in terms of rarity and difficulty of acquisition.

"Moreover, you won’t just be facing competition from Martial Artists practicing the same Cultivation Technique. Others, such as those practicing water and fire attributes, will also require your share of Spiritual Talents.

"Furthermore, the Dao of Yin and Yang is both profound and extremely dangerous. If Harmony is improper, it leads to Yin and Yang Reversal, damaging both body and soul."

He did not dissuade him directly; he merely laid the most realistic problems out in front of Fang Chen.

Meeting Chen Pu’s gaze, Fang Chen simply bowed slightly, his tone composed. "I understand the difficulties involved. But thinking about it from another angle, the Dao of Yin and Yang is essentially about Harmony and balance. Its reliance on a ’single attribute’ might not be as absolute as some specific Cultivation Techniques.

"Also, thinking about it inversely, Yin and Yang can utilize Spiritual Talents from the Five Elements as well, so they won’t be completely non-existent. I... want to give it a try."

His words were not completely baseless. In certain ancient notes within the Cyan Yang Martial Arts Academy’s Library Pavilion, similar viewpoints were indeed mentioned.

Hearing this, Chen Pu nodded. "Alright then, I will register it for you."

"Thank you, Teacher."

The subsequent students continued to submit their choices. Occasionally, the teachers would raise questions or offer brief suggestions for choices that were obviously unsuitable or carried excessive risks. About an hour or so later, the preliminary choices of all three hundred-plus True Martial Realm students were registered.

Chen Pu addressed the crowd below the platform, "Everyone, wait here. I am going to fetch the Inheritance Jade Scrolls corresponding to your chosen Cultivation Techniques." After saying that, he turned and left the Skill Transmission Hall.

About half an hour later, Chen Pu returned, holding a quaint wooden tray in his hands. Neatly stacked inside the tray were dozens of Jade Scrolls that slightly varied in color, luster, and size, with each emitting a unique energy fluctuation.

"The students whose names are called, follow Teacher Ms. Bai Zhi to the Meditation Transmission Chamber on the second floor to receive the inheritance.

"Each Transmission Room can accommodate a maximum of twenty people at the same time. Once activated by a specific Array, the Jade Scroll will release inheritance information within a certain range, which is enough to cover everyone in the room."

Chen Pu explained the process concisely and to the point. "Those whose names have not been called, wait here quietly."

Fang Chen realized why—it seemed these Jade Scrolls were not one-on-one, but rather area-of-effect based, which indeed saved on costs.

Soon, the names of the first batch of eighteen students cultivating the same technique were called out. They followed Bai Zhi and left the hall.

Fang Chen, like the others, sat quietly below the platform to wait. He did not waste time, however, estimating that the time was about right.

[Time Stop, remaining uses: 65]

The world instantly froze.

Fang Chen stood up from his seat, walked toward the Transmission Room on the second floor, and kicked the door open.

Inside the room, twenty students sat cross-legged on specially made meditation cushions, forming a circle. In the center, a Jade Scroll crimson as fire and another deep blue as ice hovered in mid-air. They were currently being stimulated by a complex silver Array on the floor, emitting a soft and stable halo that enveloped the entire room.

Clearly, the inheritance was underway. The "locks" on the Jade Scrolls had been opened, and the information was being released.

Fang Chen walked near the floating Jade Scrolls. He composed his heart spirit and carefully separated a wisp of his Spiritual Power, slowly probing toward the crimson Jade Scroll—Li Fire: Fiery Flame Cloud-Piercing Skill. He encountered no obstacles.

The Jade Scroll was in an "open" state. The vast and orderly stream of information inside, mixed with a certain scorching and surging conceptual understanding, continuously flooded into his Sea of Consciousness along his spiritual tendrils. He saw the complete Qi circulation route, felt the violence and rising intent of the Flame, and understood the core essence and various critical junctures of this Cultivation Technique. Soon, the inheritance regarding the Li Fire: Fiery Flame Cloud-Piercing Skill was fully received.

...

Repeating this process within the Time Stop Domain, Fang Chen estimated the start of each inheritance and snuck in. Taking advantage of the unlocked state of the Jade Scrolls, he rapidly absorbed the inheritance information of one High Martial Technique after another:

Earth Element: Thick Earth Carrying Skill.

Thunder Shocking Awakening Technique.

Ren Water: Celestial River Reversal.

Gui Water·Cold Abyss Ice Formation Technique.

Qiankun·Small Circulation Transporting Technique.

...

With each technique he absorbed, he did not cultivate it deeply. He merely committed its core Technique, Qi circulation route, conceptual essence, and possible pros and cons firmly to memory. This knowledge itself would not directly enhance his strength, but it vastly broadened his Martial Dao horizons. Especially for the Dao of Yin and Yang he was about to major in, these conceptual understandings from techniques that were either opposing, complementary, or vastly different provided him with a frame of reference and a source of inspiration.

Finally, there were fewer and fewer people left in the great hall.

"Fang Chen," Chen Pu’s voice rang out.

Fang Chen stood up and walked forward. By now, he was the only one left in the hall.

Chen Pu took the last Jade Scroll from the wooden tray. This Jade Scroll was different from all the previous ones. It was not a single color, but rather presented a chaotic grayish-white hue. Inside, it was as if black and white Qi were slowly circulating and chasing each other, forming a miniature Taiji Diagram that was exceptionally profound. The fluctuation emitted by the Jade Scroll itself was also extremely obscure, yet it gave off an unfathomable feeling.

"Yin Yang Two Forms Creation Skill," Chen Pu said, handing the Jade Scroll to Fang Chen. "You are the only one who chose this Cultivation Technique. Come with me."

"Yes. Thank you, Teacher."

Chen Pu personally led Fang Chen to the Transmission Room on the second floor.

"Go in and sit on the meditation cushion," Chen Pu instructed. "Later, the inheritance information will pour directly into your consciousness. This Cultivation Technique is profound, and the volume of information is massive, which might cause a shock. Guard your heart spirit and maintain clarity; do not panic or resist. Just accept and understand it."

He looked at Fang Chen, taking the rare initiative to say a few extra words. "I see that your Aura is at Perfection, and your foundation is firmly established, far surpassing your peers. After receiving the inheritance, if you feel your condition is right, you can directly attempt secluded cultivation here to break through to the Qi Sea and take that step. The Array in this quiet room also has the effect of assisting in Qi Gathering and stabilizing your heart spirit."

"I understand. Thank you for your guidance, Teacher," Fang Chen said, bowing.
