Dragon Devouring Cultivation

Chapter 20 Failure
Half a month later, Mr. Zou's basic combat course had taught all the elementary sword techniques of the Immortal Kingdom.

Today's basic combat class is to practice repeatedly in the combat room, with Teacher Zou observing and guiding.

Li Zhen, Han Wenqin and Yu Nan formed a small group in the class, and the sword skills of the three of them exceeded those of other students in the class.

Although other students were surprised that Li Zhen was recognized by the class monitor and the deputy class monitor, no one would disturb the three of them.

Only Cheng He was very dissatisfied. He had been commended by the school before, so he went to Teacher Zhang and wanted to be the class monitor.

But he didn't know the background of Yu Nan and Han Wenqin. Unless there were big problems between Yu Nan and Han Wenqin themselves, there was no way the school would remove them from their positions.

"You look down on me, but I look down on you even more!" Cheng He thought with gritted teeth.

He was confident, and he planned to go to the training room to practice at noon today to let everyone know his extraordinary talent.

"Li Zhen, you have reached the mastery level of this basic sword technique. It is a bit too simple for you. How about I help you find a stronger sword technique?" Yu Nan said to Li Zhen with a smile.

Since it was Han Wenqin who first won over Li Zhen, he was somewhat passive in making friends with Li Zhen. Li Zhen had already joined Han Wenqin's small circle, which was equivalent to receiving funding from the Han family.

Especially after practicing swordsmanship for half a month, he clearly saw Li Zhen's talent in swordsmanship. He shared the same opinion as Han Wenqin and wanted to increase his efforts to befriend Li Zhen.

"Yu Nan, do you think I don't have any sword skills?" Han Wenqin said dissatisfiedly. She turned to Li Zhen and said, "I am currently consolidating the foundation of swordsmanship. I don't recommend you to be greedy!"

Although Li Zhen didn't know what kind of swordsmanship Yu Nan could use, he thought it should be more powerful than the basic swordsmanship.

But the elementary swordsmanship that we learn in school is called the Elementary Swordsmanship of the Immortal Kingdom. It is the same as the "Seventeenth Edition of the Basic Qi Training Method". It is specially designed by the Immortal Kingdom to lay the foundation for new monks.

He believed more in the education system of the Immortal Kingdom, and believed that this set of elementary swordsmanship of the Immortal Kingdom was more important to him.

"Thank you, Captain Yu. I haven't even mastered the basic swordsmanship, so I won't learn other swordsmanship!" Li Zhen politely refused.

"If you want to learn new sword techniques, just tell me!" Yu Nan said regretfully.

Han Wenqin rolled her eyes at him, as if everyone knew what he was up to.

If Li Zhen agreed to learn the sword skills taught by Yu Nan, he would have to go to the training place arranged by Yu Nan. The intelligent sword skills assistance systems in other places do not have the guidance function of Yu Nan's sword skills.

"Captain Han, let's fight again!" Li Zhen saw that the time was almost up and asked Han Wenqin to fight.

The two men faced each other, holding practice swords, and the information from the sword-fighting intelligent assistance system was displayed on the retinas of both parties.

Li Zhen drew his sword first. He took a step forward and performed the "bow step straight thrust". The intelligent sword-fighting assistance system showed that the completion rate of this move was 98.31%.

Han Wenqin's 'Empty Step Horizontal Chop' is also a sword move of a mastered level.

Li Zhen's attainments in elementary swordsmanship have caught up with Han Wenqin. In order to be able to fight with Han Wenqin for a longer period of time, he even needs to hold back some of his strength.

After he had mastered the basic swordsmanship, he was able to put more strength into practicing the sword without affecting the performance of the swordsmanship.

He also discovered that not only was he much stronger than Han Wenqin and Yu Nan in terms of strength, but his reaction speed was also much faster, allowing him to be more calm in the battle.

Teacher Zou had been watching Li Zhen's sparring from a distance. He was not surprised by Han Wenqin's level of swordsmanship. Students like this with a family background would have practiced swordsmanship very early.

What surprised him was Li Zhen. He had watched Li Zhen grow and could see Li Zhen's progress in almost every class.

Of course, he also knew that Li Zhen's obvious progress must have been due to the support of the families behind his two students, Han Wenqin and Yu Nan. The same was true for him.

Otherwise, the school's resources would not be able to support the training of a swordsmanship genius.

He looked at Cheng He again, and he could feel Cheng He's unstable emotions.

"Cheng He, pay more attention when practicing sword!" he reminded.

Cheng He was called out, and his face looked very ugly. After the basic combat course, Cheng He was the first to rush out. The spiritual power in his body surged, making him faster.

"What has upset him?" Yu Nan couldn't help but say when he saw Cheng He like this.

"Who knows!" Li Zhen shook his head.

However, looking at the direction Cheng He was rushing, Li Zhen guessed that he was going to grab a position in the training room.

The battle room is much farther away from the training room than the classroom of the first-year monastic class. In addition, there are students from other grades competing for the training room, and he doesn't think he can get one, so he is not in a hurry, but plans to wait for the second batch of training room positions.

Li Zhen and his classmates who were practicing at noon came to the outside of the practice room and found that Cheng He was lucky and had entered the practice room to practice.

In the training room, Cheng He felt the spiritual power in his body and looked at his own information displayed on his retina. His spiritual power had reached 9.99.

He was only one step away from the second level of Qi training, and the reason he was able to raise his spiritual power to 9.99 in such a short period of time, leaving the rest of the students far behind, was because he took medicinal pills.

He took most of the bottle of low-grade Qi-inducing Pills and the bottle of medium-grade Qi-inducing Pills awarded by the school, leaving only one medium-grade Qi-inducing Pill.

He had also read some articles and heard about the disadvantages of taking elixirs to practice, but when he saw the spiritual power in his body increase rapidly and heard others bragging about it, he simply couldn't stop.

If he successfully advances to the second level of Qi training today, he will be the number one genius in Yunxi County in recent years.

The most important thing was the recruitment from the Wang family, one of the four major families in Yunxi County.

Originally, both the Yu family and the Han family had direct descendants enrolled in the No. 2 Middle School's monastic class, so the freshmen monastics in the first grade of No. 2 Middle School should have been recruited by these two families. The other families also had their own target schools and would not take the initiative to compete for them.

But Han Wenqin looked down on Cheng He, and Yu Nan also saw through Cheng He and had no intention of recruiting him, so the Wang family approached Cheng He.

A medium-grade fire spiritual root, and 28 points of it, which is considered average among medium-grade fire spiritual roots. Such talents are rare in Yunxi County.

If Cheng He wants to gain more support from the Wang family, he needs to show greater potential. This is why he is so eager to advance to the second level of Qi training.

He put the last middle-grade Qi-inducing pill into his mouth and activated the 'Seventeenth Edition of Basic Qi-Training Method'.

The spiritual power vortex in his body is almost full, and if it increases a little more, the spiritual power will break through to 10 points.

10 points of spiritual power is a hurdle, and once you jump over it you will reach the second level of Qi training.

With his spiritual talent, reaching the second level of Qi training shouldn't be a piece of cake, but it shouldn't be that difficult either. It just depends on how many times he needs to make the attempt.

However, Cheng He's eagerness for quick success made the spiritual power vortex in his body very unstable. The spiritual power in the vortex was too complex and contained too many residual elixirs.

If he told the teacher at school about his breakthrough, the teacher would certainly evaluate the breakthrough through instruments and give him corresponding guidance to minimize the risks in the breakthrough.

Cheng He introduced the spiritual energy into his body, and after being guided by the running route of the "Basic Qi Training Method 17th Edition", the spiritual energy turned into fire spiritual power and entered into the spiritual power vortex in his dantian.

The spiritual power vortex is in a full state, so it will not allow spiritual power to enter easily. This requires him to use his will to drive it forcibly.

Seeing his spiritual power being sent into the spiritual power vortex bit by bit, he was thinking that he was about to be promoted to the second level of Qi training, when suddenly the spiritual power vortex shook violently.

A shrill alarm sounded outside the practice room, alerting students in the practice room that there was a problem with their practice.

Although the students in the first-year monk class are freshmen, they have already found no difficulty in practicing the "Seventeenth Edition of the Basic Qigong Method", so there is no teacher on duty outside the practice room.

However, as soon as the alarm sounded, a figure turned into a ray of light in the air and flew towards the training room, followed by several other figures running from the ground from all over the school.

Li Zhen recognized that the person flying in the air was Principal Wang. The ability to control objects to fly for a short period of time was only possible for cultivators in the late stage of Qi training. The figures behind him were teachers of various grades.
