Hyper-fusion, I have infinite forms.

Chapter 165: A Body Refining Technique More Powerful Than Breathing Technique
Chu Changying did not accept Zhou Yan as his apprentice in the end.

The reason is that in a special case like Zhou Yan's, it is necessary to wait until the Palace Master comes out of seclusion, and then the Palace Master will decide who is qualified to teach him.

And according to Chu Changying, the person most likely to become Zhou Yan's master at that time would most likely be the Palace Master of Suzaku Palace himself.

However, there is no problem for her to "pass on the skills" for the time being.

And because of this test, a result was caused - Luo Ke could not go to university.

Chu Changying was worried that her disciple would die young, so she forced her to not leave her care or travel alone until she had become strong enough.

That’s right, even if I go to school at Suzaku University which is two kilometers away.

The procedure for suspension is also very simple.

With a greeting from "Chi Jun", one of the only three elders of Suzaku Palace, Suzaku University immediately granted Luo Ke the treatment of taking a leave of absence but retaining his status as a student.

And Luo Ke was also extremely happy about this.

She was originally quite resistant to going to school and studying hard, but she was determined to go to school because of her love for divine knowledge and the title of "top student at Suzaku University".

Now he can be accepted as a disciple by a big shot like Chu Changying.

And you can retain your student status at Suzaku University.

To learn the knowledge of divine machines, you can also directly learn from the masters of the "Divine Machine Department" of the Suzaku Palace.

It’s a win-win-win situation.

Luo Ke won three times!

On this day, Zhou Yan stayed at home alone to practice the Crane Li Breathing Method.

It is now September 7th, and it has been the ninth day since he reported to Suzaku Palace.

During this period, Chu Changying informed several people through Chu Wan about the current progress and situation of the establishment of Sanqi Tian.

First of all, the logistical supplies of the rare "Sanqitian" aerospace battleship have all arrived, and the technical and logistical personnel of the aerospace battleship have basically arrived at their posts.

The airship itself has been debugged and has even undergone three test flights, and is now ready for formal use.

The only part that has not been completed is that the ten combat groups preset by Sanqitian’s most critical “Combat Department” have not yet been assembled.

Currently, only the "Special Group" headed by Chu Wan is in place.

The reason for all this is not that no one is willing to apply to join Sanqi Tian.

Quite the opposite - because there were so many elite personnel applying, the remaining nine combat teams with a total of eighteen elite places attracted almost all the real realm powerhouses to sign up.

Moreover, those who have reached the level of true realm often have various relationships with different powerful people in the Suzaku Palace.

As everyone showed off their skills, only six team leaders were confirmed in the current combat team.

Each of these team leaders is at least at the second level of the True Realm, that is, a master of the "general" level, and they all have connections with powerful bosses such as the Palace Master, members of the Council Hall, the Military, or the Divine Machine Department, so they can lock down the position.

The remaining three team leaders and nine team members, totaling twelve "elite" spots, are still awaiting a balance of interests and consultation among all parties.

It's not just the "Combat Elite" spots that are in high demand.

In addition to "two combat elites", each special operations team can also be equipped with up to "three apprentices".

This so-called apprentice actually refers to the most famous young talent in Suzaku Palace, and the "backbone" of the next generation of Suzaku Palace.

The reason why these geniuses were specially arranged to go to Sanqi Heaven was to allow them to gain as much knowledge as possible, accumulate experience and foundation while practicing, so that they can break through the mortal realm and reach the true realm as soon as possible.

The requirements for these places are also very simple - all the talents under the age of 25 in the Suzaku Palace will be selected from the best.

The competition for this part of the quota is also extremely fierce. It is said that the six main cities under Xingdu have all urgently held corresponding selection competitions to quickly select truly potential talents and send them to Suzaku Palace as alternatives.

There is also a lot of exchange of power and interests involved.

The selection of fighters for Sanqitian has now become the most grand event in the Suzaku Palace, although it is kept secret.

Chu Changying was very angry about this unexpected incident.

Unfortunately, although she is in the Mad Realm, she is also one of the three elders of the Suzaku Palace whose strength is only second to the Palace Master and the Deputy Palace Master.

He is also the chief commander of the Three Qi Heavens.

However, he still cannot have the final say on such an important matter and can only hold his temper and wait for the council to come up with a reasonable selection mechanism as soon as possible.

And she only had two demands for the council chamber.

The first requirement is that no matter what method is used to select personnel, she only wants the elite.

If the strength of the people on board does not meet the requirements, she will not give anyone face and will kick them out directly.

The second requirement is that no matter how the various forces compete, she will give at most one week, and all the vacancies must be confirmed after this week. If they cannot be confirmed, the remaining vacancies will be selected by her.

After making these two requirements, Chu Changying no longer cared about the troublesome issue of personnel selection.

Instead, he focused all his attention on teaching his two disciples.

That is the teaching to Luo Xuan and Luo Ke.

As a result, the two sisters now have a very full schedule every day.

Luo Ke is a novice. Although she has been practicing martial arts with her sister for the sake of her health, she has only dabbled in it and has always maintained the health level of an ordinary person, far from the fierce level.

So now she is being held by Chu Changying to strengthen her body. It is said that various natural treasures that can strengthen the physical body are continuously supplied every day. Combined with the rapid growth period of initial martial arts training, her physical fitness improves a little almost every day. No one knows when this terrifying growth rate will slow down.

The same goes for Luo Xuan. Chu Changying feels that in the three years since he let Luo Xuan go, although Luo Xuan's swordsmanship and martial arts have improved well, his physical and mental progress has lagged far behind.

Three years ago, when the sixteen-year-old Luo Xuan was in Suzaku Palace, he had already entered the fierce level. At that time, the twenty-five-year-old Chu Wan was only at the absolute level, two levels higher than Luo Xuan.

But three years later, Luo Xuan's body and spirit had only reached the wonderful level, and he had not even entered the ultimate level. Chu Wan, who was not as talented as Luo Xuan, had already entered the true realm, and even showed signs of entering the second stage.

It is obvious that the former is a genius of the highest level, but his actual growth rate is far less.

This is the gap where resources are not fully supplied.

If resources are insufficient, even geniuses will fall.

Chu Changying was very dissatisfied with this, so he was extremely strict with Luo Xuan's practice.

Now the master and his two apprentices stayed together almost entirely from day to night, practicing with all their might in the training ground that came with the Sanqi Skyship.

Except when Chu Changying occasionally dealt with the establishment of Sanqitian, he did not give the two sisters any rest time.

Only when it was almost late at night would the two sisters return home, exhausted both physically and mentally, and fall asleep.

Zhou Yan was like a lonely old man guarding the house, and he hardly saw the two sisters. Only at night, after watching the two sisters fall asleep, he would secretly take out two kinds of life essence to feed them to replenish their energy, so that the two could be resurrected with full blood on the same spot the next day.

Then continue to endure Chu Changying's training.

As for Zhou Yan himself, he certainly did not fall behind in becoming stronger.

He now practices the Crane's Cry Breathing Method during the day and the Fire Virtue Nourishing Qi Chapter at night. In between, he also invites Chu Wan, who also has nothing to do, next door to the Vermillion Bird Palace to compete in swordsmanship at the martial arts arena to improve his body control and reaction ability.

Now his own attributes have been further improved, reaching nearly three times the limit of ordinary people.

[Physique 28, Agility 29, Spirit 33]

Of course, if the bonus from the life equipment is taken into account, his three attributes have all exceeded "180", with the highest physique reaching almost "220".

As for personal skills, sword skills have all been enhanced to a considerable extent.

But the most important thing is the practice of "Fire Virtue and Nourishing Qi", which he has practiced from "entry level" to "standard level".

The Star Chasing Secret Diagram that he had practiced before was also digested and absorbed by this similar skill during his practice of the Fire Virtue and Nourishing Qi Chapter.

At present, he has activated a total of ten key acupoints in his body.

They are the acupoints located at the five internal organs and the acupoints on the head that represent the five senses of the body.

After having these ten important acupoints as the foundation.

Zhou Yan felt that the time had come to try to activate the "divine orifice".

Just before he was about to start trying.

There was a knock on the door.

Zhou Yan calmed himself down and went to open the door.

Sure enough, there stood outside the door a bright and charming female boss.

"Sister Chu Wan." Zhou Yan raised his hand and greeted her, "Will you continue to compete in sword fighting today?"

As he spoke, he turned and walked into the house: "I'm going to change my clothes, wait for me."

"Wait." Chu Wan reached out and grabbed Zhou Yan's arm, "No need to change into martial arts clothes, the current one is fine."

Zhou Yan looked at her doubtfully: "This is casual clothing, although it can indeed be used for competition."

"I won't practice martial arts today. Please help me." Chu Wan pulled him with a smile, "I'll give you something good later."

Good man, the bad woman has a lot of bad checks on hand?

Zhou Yan paused and asked cautiously: "What help?"

Chu Wan saw Zhou Yan's alert look, but she didn't take it seriously. Instead, she clasped her hands together and bowed to him: "You don't have to do anything, just accompany my sister to drink tea as a subordinate."

Hmm, I smell a melodramatic plot.

Zhou Yan frowned and said, "Of course it's okay for me to drink tea with you, but I guess the occasion for drinking tea is probably not that simple."

Chu Wan looked a little embarrassed: "Brother Zhou Yan, you are very perceptive. It is indeed quite special. It is mainly because some friends invited me to a party."

Zhou Yan's brows furrowed even more, and he couldn't help but interrupt her: "You don't want to say that there are still one or more young talents at the party who fell in love with you back then, and they still miss you now, so you are afraid that they will do something embarrassing to you at the party, right?"

Chu Wan's eyes widened slightly, and she couldn't help but give Zhou Yan a thumbs up: "Brother Zhou Yan, you are absolutely right! You are simply a worm in my stomach!"

As she said this, she smiled and stretched out her arm to Zhou Yan: "Let's go, my brother who understands me~"

Zhou Yan pulled his hand back accurately, turned around and walked into the house:

"No, it's too bloody. I'm afraid my old illness will relapse if I go."

Chu Wan quickly followed him in: "Hey, hey, hey, it's just a cup of tea, why did your old illness relapse?"

Zhou Yan: "So embarrassing."

Chu Wan: “Uh”

She reached out and grabbed Zhou Yan again: "I said, I won't do it for free. As long as you help me this time, I will give you a more powerful body refining secret technique."

Zhou Yan paused and said nothing.

Chu Wan saw that there was hope, and couldn't help but curl her lips: "Brother, as a mental supernormal person, your mental strength is indeed very strong, even stronger than the average real realm strongman, but the strength of your body is still between the fierce level and the wonderful level, it's not quite keeping up, right?"

That's not true at all, it's just an image I put on.

Zhou Yan secretly responded in his heart, but said softly: "It's not bad, and didn't you say that no matter how strong the body is, the limit is only the strength of ten masters. I now have the strength of five people, and I have a high affinity with breathing methods. If I continue to practice, it shouldn't take long for me to reach the master level."

Chu Wan smiled and shook her head: "Although your inference is correct in a sense, it is not absolute."

"The Crane Cry Breathing Method of the Suzaku Palace can certainly help you steadily improve your physique and eventually reach perfection, but I think you have misunderstood one thing - the improvement effect of this method is getting worse and worse, especially when your physique has exceeded the fierce level. If you want to improve it by relying solely on the Crane Cry level breathing method, you can only rely on time to grind."

Chu Wan gave an example: "Look at Luo Xuan. Since leaving the Suzaku Palace headquarters three years ago, he has only been promoted from the fierce level to the wonderful level in three years."

Zhou Yan looked at Chu Wan in confusion: "She improved slowly later on, wasn't it because she didn't have the resources? For example, she lacked higher quality secret medicine or something like that."

"This is just one of them." Chu Wan waved her fingers. "The most important thing is that compared to the growth of physical strength, Suzaku Palace is actually more inclined to promote the coordinated progress of body and mind. In other words, warriors who practice Crane Breathing Method are actually slowly stimulating their spirits while improving their physique, laying a good foundation for future spiritual practice."

Zhou Yan: “Isn’t this great?”

Chu Wan: "The corresponding problem brought about by this is that with so many things to take into account, the breathing method's real effect of strengthening the physique is not as efficient as that of the other four palaces."

Zhou Yan's heart moved, and he slowly said: "So, Sister Chu Wan, you mean that you have a secret technique to practice more efficiently to strengthen your physique?"

Not to mention, if Chu Wan really had this secret method, he wouldn't mind taking the risk of suffering from embarrassment syndrome in exchange for it.

Chu Wan: "Oh, you're willing to call me sister again~ What about the agreement that you'll accompany me for tea?"

Zhou Yan curled his lips and said, "Teach me first. If I think it's effective, I'll go with you."

Chu Wan's face immediately showed joy, and she pushed Zhou Yan into the house with a smile.

"Okay, now I will teach you this body-refining method that I got by chance from an unlucky guy in the White Tiger Palace who died in a rift."

"The people of the White Tiger Palace have always been known for their strong bodies. Everyone is a martial arts fanatic, and their body training methods are extremely fierce."

Zhou Yan: "After all this talk, what is the name of that cultivation method?"

Chu Wan: "White Emperor Martial Art!"
