Chapter 442: Inspecting the Disciples’ Work
The whole night of practice passed quickly.
In the morning, on the small stone square outside the gate of Wu Zun Temple.
Wang Zhifan found that his disciples had already arrived at this time, and he couldn't help but secretly think that the charm of the black tower was indeed extraordinary.
But before letting his disciples enter the black tower to practice, he began the first assessment of their practice results.
Although these young people had only studied with him for about half a month, the approaching war forced him to understand their respective progress.
At this time, in the small square in front of the temple, in front of the fifty-one disciples who were standing at the head of the line with He Kuang, Wang Zhifan stood with his hands behind his back, and his eyes swept across the disciples in front of him who looked either nervous or excited, and began to examine their homework.
"He Kuang."
"Disciple is here!"
"How is the progress of the Pure Yang True Art you started practicing yesterday?"
"Master, I haven't started yet."
"Well, this test will focus on testing your overall strength...
When you enter the Black Tower now, there will be a demon king waiting for you in the tower set by the master, but don't worry, this demon king is much weaker than the normal state. As long as you can defeat it, this test will be considered a pass!
But you must pay attention. Although the demon king's strength has been weakened, he will definitely not show mercy like usual! If you die in there due to carelessness, you can't blame the master!"
"Disciple understands! Disciple will definitely pass this test!"
After hearing what Wang Zhifan said, He Kuang, a congenital sixth-level warrior with a black spear on his back, suddenly looked fierce.
He knew that he had to go all out this time with the awareness of possible death. In the past, their opponents were restricted in the Black Tower and would not cause them serious harm, but this time the situation was completely different. Once they were careless, they would die!
As He Kuang took the order and ran to the inner palace of the palace to participate in the hardcore mode of the black tower test, Wang Zhifan swept his eyes to the remaining fifty boys and girls.
For these little guys who have not yet grown up, his assessment is not so strict, and the means are much gentler.
I saw him quickly move his eyes to the fifty disciples. The brocade-dressed girl Liu Luoying, who was eager to try and almost shouted, "Let me go first," said to the extroverted girl with a smile:
"Aying, looking at your state, it seems that you are very confident that you can pass the test... Then you go first."
The girl in brocade clothes with an excited look on her face was not afraid at all. She immediately stepped lightly and jumped several feet to the middle of the disciples and Wang Zhifan. She raised her little face and said proudly:
"Master, please come over! Disciples will prove everything with strength!"
"That's right! It takes this A spirited head!" Wang Zhifan nodded his smiling head and created a masked man in black next to him without leaving any trace. Then he said to the disciples who looked a little surprised: "The man in black next to me, those of you who practiced the Great Dream Sword Sutra should be able to guess that it is a clone of my dream self. Your test will be carried out by fighting with this clone... Ah Ying, you go first!" After he finished speaking, he did not give the brocade girl Liu Luoying extra time to prepare, and suddenly controlled his dream self clone to rush towards her! Of course, he had to control the release of water carefully, otherwise all these little disciples combined would not be able to beat his clone, and it would not serve the purpose of testing their practice level. "Hah! Qiankun Bagua Palm!"
Liu Luoying saw the test suddenly begin, but she was not panicked at all. She lowered her body slightly, shouted lightly, and raised her delicate palms to meet the enemy at an explosive speed, using the Taoist practice Qiankun Bagua Palm that she had practiced since childhood.
Wang Zhifan knew that this little disciple was practicing both Taoism and martial arts, so he didn't care about her using Taoist practice at all, and even encouraged his disciples to learn from others.
And he also noticed that Liu Luoying was not completely relying on her Taoist practice to fight the enemy. Her physical fitness had improved significantly compared to the first meeting, and there was a weak airflow swirling around her body, which was the manifestation of the simultaneous operation of the Pure Yang True Art.
In an instant, two figures, one big and one small, one real and one fake, collided with each other. The girl Liu Luoying hit out with one palm to resist the fist of the tall black-clothed man in front of her, and the other palm turned into a hand knife shape, trying to cut into the waist and abdomen of the black-clothed man, but the black-clothed man evaded it deftly at the last moment.
At the same time, Wang Zhifan, who felt the feedback from Mengwo's clone, was also slightly surprised.
"Wow... the power of this palm technique is definitely not inferior to some adult post-natal cultivators...
I didn't expect that she only obtained the Lv2 Pure Yang True Gong cultivation method I gave her yesterday, and she has made such progress today. I'm afraid she will be able to break through again in two months. She is really a little genius."
With a bottom line in his heart, Wang Zhifan knew that Liu Luoying had never neglected her cultivation, otherwise she would not have made such rapid progress.
So he then concentrated on controlling this clone to continue to fight with her, no longer with the intention of testing her, but to conduct on-site teaching, so that this genius girl and other disciples who were watching the battle could understand the difference between actual combat and training.
He first controlled Mengwo's clone to hold back and fight with Liu Luoying, and his moves were completely regular and stable.
To put it more clearly, it was as if an opponent with average strength who didn’t want to win or lose was stalling for time with Liu Luoying. This disciple who was arrogant by nature soon became a little careless and gave rise to Master’s test. This is it, I will definitely win it beautifully. psychology.
It didn't take long for her attack rhythm to become bolder and even more impetuous, and some deficiencies appeared in her defense.
"Haha, you must have been careless, little girl."
When Wang Zhifan saw this, the corners of his mouth raised slightly. As a person with rich practical experience, he understood the psychological state of a novice.
He immediately controlled the clone that was being "suppressed" by Liu Luoying and used a very sophisticated attack feint.
Then, when Liu Luoying raised his hand to counterattack as a conditioned reflex, his clone's shot changed instantly, allowing Liu Luoying to hit the air with his palm, and was hit by the clone's finger on his elbow.
Immediately after receiving the blow, Liu Luoying's body tilted and lost her balance. The clone's movements suddenly became slippery and she used a grappling technique. In the blink of an eye, her arms were tied, and another hand was pressed against hers. on the throat.
"Ah! Master, you are cheating! You are cheating!"
For a moment, Liu Luoying, who was controlled by the clone of the man in black behind her and couldn't move, screamed in frustration. It was a bit difficult for her to accept this situation where she suddenly lost after a good fight, and she didn't have enough time to react.
After hearing this, Wang Zhifan first controlled the clone of the man in black behind her and let go. Then his face turned serious and he glanced at her, looking at all the disciples in front of him and said:
"My teacher, the way I played just now is indeed a bit rogue, but who of you can guarantee that your opponent is not a cunning person?
It's not enough to expect that the battle process will always be smooth and smooth. You must be prepared in your heart that the enemy is always hiding a conspiracy!
And the battle just now also reflected a problem, that is, fighting too hastily!
If you, Aying, were more steady and cautious, you wouldn't have been able to react to the feint I just made! "
After seriously evaluating the previous battle, Wang Zhifan commented that Liu Luoying passed the inspection but needed to continue working hard, and then asked the red-eyed little girl to return to the queue and start testing the next lucky person.
The second person he named was another talented young man, Tan Quan, the young bronze man.
But as soon as this kid stood up, he looked a little ashamed and said to him:
"Master, I entered the wind and thunder space yesterday to practice, but I still didn't realize what the wind and thunder meant..."
What he meant was that after practicing with Wang Zhifan for half a month, he still had no sign of the Wind and Thunder Stepping Heaven Technique. He was still a poor blank slate. If Wang Zhifan wanted to test him, he would have no way to start.
"Well... Ah Quan, I know your situation, you don't have to feel guilty...
My teacher has long said that the difficulty of practicing the advanced light skill of Wind and Thunder Stepping on Heaven cannot be underestimated. It is normal for there to be no movement for half a year, let alone half a month...
Moreover, your mental state will also affect your ability to realize the meaning of wind and thunder.
Just think about it, what does wind and thunder mean? That must be wanton, arrogant, unrestrained and happy!
But being delayed in getting started will definitely affect a person’s mentality!
The more eager you are to get started, the more anxious you will be. The more anxious you are, the further away you will be from realizing the state of mind of Feng Lei!
Therefore, practicing this Qing Gong often relies on chance. Rushing is not enough. When you stop being anxious and relax, you may suddenly get started. "
After resolving many struggling disciples, including Tan Quan, who chose to practice the Wind and Thunder Stepping Heaven Technique, Wang Zhifan then gave Tan Quan some new arrangements.
"Ah Quan, in your current situation, it is the next best thing to insist on cultivating the Wind and Thunder Stepping on Heaven Technique.
According to my teacher, you can start practicing Wuji Golden Body Kung Fu today. This body training technique is very suitable for your physique. You will definitely be able to get started smoothly!
As for the practice of Qinggong, don’t think about it for the time being. Once you have achieved some success in the Golden Body Kung Fu and your mind has stabilized, you can give it a try from time to time!
Maybe one day you will suddenly realize what the meaning of wind and thunder is! "
His words were so sincere that the little bronze man Tan Quan, who looked a little depressed and ashamed in front of him, quickly regained his confidence. He puffed up his chest and said that he would follow Wang Zhifan's suggestion and step on the wind and thunder that he couldn't figure out. Let’s put Tianjue aside for now.
Wang Zhifan was a little relieved that this guy was not a dead-head, and announced that he failed the Kung Fu test this time, and immediately went to the black tower to learn the Wuji Golden Body Kung Fu.
Then, Wang Zhifan's attention shifted to the next tester, the thin boy Huang Feihe.
Like Tan Quan, who had already gone to the underground palace, this young man also listed the Wind and Thunder Stepping Heaven Technique as his first cultivation technique, but his expression was not so embarrassed, and he showed a bit of calmness that was inconsistent with his own temperament.
"Master, although this disciple has not yet mastered the Wind and Thunder Stepping Heaven Technique, he gained some insights in the Wind and Thunder Space yesterday, and somehow understood the artistic conception of Wind and Thunder's Incarnation. I am confident that I will be able to start this technique in at most half a month. Law!"
After listening to this kid's speech, Wang Zhifan suddenly had a strange look on his face, wondering, could this kid not only have a flexible mind, but also have some talent in martial arts? Then he looked at him expectantly and said:
"Well... Xiaohe, I'm very satisfied that you have such confidence as a teacher...
Since you said that you vaguely know what the meaning of wind and thunder is, can you show it to me on the spot?
There is no need for you to achieve a certain level, as long as you try your best, this will be a test for you as a teacher. "
"Okay, Master."
Huang Feihe was not panicked at all after hearing Wang Zhifan's request. He immediately stood still and closed his eyes, and began to use the auxiliary visualization method in the introductory inheritance of the Wind and Thunder Stepping Heaven Technique, condensing the wind and thunder artistic conception that he had already understood.
As a person who truly practiced the Wind and Thunder Stepping Heaven Technique, Wang Zhifan simultaneously entered a similar state.
However, his cultivation level was much higher, and he could condense his own wind and thunder without using the visualization method. It was completely unnecessary to close his eyes. He could easily release his weakest wind and thunder artistic conception to surround Huang Feihe in front of him and make a judgment based on the comparison.
After a few breaths.
"Stop, Xiaohe, your perception has been known to the master, and your judgment is correct. It won't be long before you can really enter the door! The master declares that you have passed this test! Now go to the black tower to continue practicing!"
As Huang Feihe left, Wang Zhifan continued to patiently examine the other 47 disciples.
None of these disciples had left a particularly deep impression on him at present, but he would not favor one over the other and fool them. He also called each one out for examination.
Among them, the dozen or so people who were also practicing the Wind and Thunder Stepping Heaven Art were similar to the previous fellow practitioners, most of them were in a state of difficulty in getting started.
Wang Zhifan asked them to switch to a more suitable technique according to their situation to avoid blindly fighting.
Only two or three who had already had some clues in the meaning of wind and thunder were allowed to continue to study.
Those who practiced the Pure Yang True Art were more obvious at a glance. He could tell at a glance whether the body had become stronger and give follow-up suggestions.
The disciples who practiced the Great Dream Sword Sutra were a bit miserable.
This technique was the only one that Wang Zhifan had practiced to the Lv6 realm, so the examination of the disciples was naturally much more detailed.
Not only did he release multiple dream clones to fight with them to test the basic swordsmanship, he also asked them to perform a sleep on the spot in front of other disciples, and then he sent clones to break into their dreams to "instruct on the spot", which really made them suffer a lot from both physical and mental aspects.
The situation is different with Wuji Jinshen Gong. This method may be too simple, so it is not favored by the disciples. Only a few people choose to practice it first, but the method of checking the progress of practice is extremely simple.
Wang Zhifan only needs to test the changes in the physical strength of the disciples and whether they can stimulate the golden light of body protection to understand everything.
For this reason, these disciples performed several street tricks such as "breaking stones with chest" and "holding iron spears on neck" in front of other disciples, making other onlookers feel that this is the most rustic method taught by the master Wang Zhifan.
