Qin Xiao couldn't help but give Chen Lv a few extra looks.
In the original work, his impression of this guy was quite deep.
After all, Chen Lv was the three-legged man par excellence...
Of course.
The current Chen Lv hadn't obtained his fifth Soul Ring yet, so he couldn't transform into a three-legged person...
Qin Xiao silently shifted his gaze back to Long Aotian, who opened his mouth to speak, thinking, Do we really need to go through the whole introductory spiel again, given that we are old rivals?
But, seeing Qin Xiao's firm gaze, Long Aotian compromised.
"My name is Long Aotian..."
"Alright, save it,"
Qin Xiao interrupted him directly.
Long Aotian looked at Qin Xiao with a slightly resentful gaze.
Are you messing with me on purpose?
If I don't speak, you won't let me stop, and the moment I start talking, you interrupt me on purpose.
However.
It was as though Qin Xiao completely missed the look in Long Aotian's eyes, "I'm glad everyone trusts me so much. Through the introductions just now, I've already got a preliminary understanding of you all, and I've actually thought of some directions for your training in my heart."
Hearing Qin Xiao's words, everyone perked up their ears.
"Who wants to go first?" Qin Xiao asked confidently.
Now, the only thing he needed to do was hoodwink!
I'll just make up some random techniques, and I don't believe you won't get it!
"Teacher, I'll go first."
"Teacher, I can do it."
"Teacher, no one but me can take the position of the first person,"
Following Qin Xiao's statement, everyone responded eagerly.
Qin Xiao looked at the first person, Chen Lv with the calf Martial Souls, "Since you're the first to speak up, let's start with you."
"Okay, great."
Chen Lv nodded a bit too happily.
"What's your approach to comprehending Battle Skills?"
"It's the same as the boss and Chen Yu, of course,"
Chen Lv replied almost without thinking, "It involves stimulating the body's potential, relying on the power of heaven and earth to maximize the body's strength."
"What a pity, it's really hard."
"Hard?" Qin Xiao frowned, "Unity of Heaven and Man has always been like this, and everyone has comprehended it in the same way, but you still haven't grasped it. Have you ever looked for the reason within yourself?
Is it because you're not working hard enough?
Or is it that your talent isn't sufficient?"
Ah, this.
Chen Lv suddenly found himself at a loss for words.
"But, Teacher, he really works very hard!"
Chen Yu, who was nearby, couldn't stand by and watch any longer.
As an important disciple of the Body Sect, he practically spent every day training with Chen Lv, and they saw each other's efforts. Who wasn't training hard every day, sweating profusely?
"Indeed, we've worked hard for so many years, yet there's been no progress. I don't think it's because of us,"
Gu Tong said with great disappointment.
"Very good."
"Since you've all worked so hard and still can't comprehend the Human-Spirit Fusion Combat Technique, it certainly can't be blamed on you,"
Hearing everyone's words, Qin Xiao nodded in satisfaction, "So, I've thought of a new way for you."
"What kind of way?"
Everyone listened attentively, afraid of missing a single word.
"If you can't beat them, join them!"
"Ah, what does that mean?"
The crowd was taken aback; they had never heard such a theory before.
"If you can't develop your body's potential by harnessing the power of heaven and earth, why not try to merge yourself with them?"
"Vina's method is the best, but it doesn't suit all of you."
"Because she has a spiritual Martial Soul and inherently acute perception, she can more easily capture the elements between heaven and earth."
Seeing the crowd dumbstruck, Qin Xiao pointed at Chen Lv and continued, "I think your legs can merge with the power of the wind. Once successful, your speed will be as fast as a shooting star.
When your speed reaches a certain level, it is equivalent to an increase in strength. Then, your attack power will reach a shocking level.
Legs as pounding as the torrential rain, kicks as fierce as the tempest, I name it Tempestuous Rainstorm!"
That's right.
Qin Xiao recalled the Wind God Leg from 'Feng Yun,' which was perfect for this guy, Chen Lv.
When he first read the Soul Land original novel, seeing Chen Lv's attack methods, he figured, isn't this just a low-grade version of the Wind God Leg?
It's just that the skill looked a bit odd when using the soul skill.
"Hiss..."
After hearing Qin Xiao's words, Chen Lv couldn't help but inhale sharply, "Can it really be like this?"
Actually, his heart had already begun to harbor endless yearning.
Qin Xiao's words were like opening the door to a new world.
"Of course you can,"
Qin Xiao nodded solemnly.
Actually, he had no idea whether it could be achieved or not.
But his only responsibility was to weave the tale, not to make it come true.
In any case, he would just deal with the current situation first.
And upon seeing the stupefied looks on everyone's faces, he knew he had successfully bamboozled them all.
Hehe.
I've already told you the top-tier method of cultivation. If you can't comprehend its mysteries, you can only blame your lack of talent.
Then that's no concern of mine.
Chen Lv furrowed his brows in contemplation for a long time, feeling like he was on the verge of a realization but unable to grasp the essence.
This made him very uncomfortable.
So, he couldn't help but ask for advice again, "Teacher, could you possibly elaborate a bit more on how I can feel the momentum of the wind more clearly?"
Qin Xiao pondered for a moment, "Formless Wind... yet it exists all the time between heaven and earth.
Just like your state of mind should reach a realm without shape or form to resonate with it.
Then you can harness the power of the world to enhance your own battle strength."
"Wind! Formless! Wind!"
Chen Lv mulled over it carefully for a moment, and a bright light suddenly burst forth in his eyes.
He seemed to have an epiphany!
Qin Xiao: "??"
Goodness, is everyone on Soul Land a genius?
I was just rambling.
And you really want to comprehend the Wind God Leg?
He couldn't help but mutter to himself.
If Chen Lv really succeeded, he would truly become a master teacher without a doubt.
"Teacher, teacher, is it my turn now?"
Following the discovery of Chen Lv's transformation, others were also exhilarated.
They weren't fools; they too had seen that Chen Lv had gained some insight. So, could they do the same?
They were already eagerly awaiting Qin Xiao's guidance.
"Don't rush, one at a time."
"Next up is you."
Qin Xiao pointed at Chen Yu with his hand.
He remembered this fellow was the second one to ask for his guidance.
"Yes! Yes!"
Chen Yu nodded vigorously, beyond excited.
"Teacher, teacher, should I also, like Chen Lv, seek to comprehend the power of the wind and look for what Formless Wind is?"
"Then let me ask you, have you had any realization yet?"
"No."
Then what are you even attempting to comprehend...
Qin Xiao was left speechless.
This fellow had absolutely no self-awareness.
If he kept up like this, he could ponder forever and would never realize anything.
"In my homeland, there is a legendary bird so powerful that a single flap of its wings can take it as high as ninety thousand miles!"
"This is a rarely seen speed and capability."
Qin Xiao stared intently at Chen Yu, "Do you think you can understand its mysteries?"
It couldn't be helped.
The question was a bit too advanced.
Qin Xiao didn't know how the Roc flew.
But that didn't stop him from bluffing people with it.
"I, I don't know."
Chen Yu shook his head blankly.
He wracked his brain but couldn't imagine how such a divine bird, capable of reaching ninety thousand miles with a single flap, could be so powerful.
It was something beyond his comprehension.
"It's precisely because you don't know that you have to ponder it carefully; you just need to understand that it cannot be achieved solely by physical strength. It must also harness some sort of power of the world!"
Qin Xiao gave a very abstract explanation.
"Alright, I'll think about it carefully..."
Chen Yu went to sit on the steps nearby, propping his chin with his hand, staring into the distance lost in thought.
Qin Xiao didn't pay further attention to him, but turned his gaze to Qin Xiao Yanfeng, asking with a smile, "Have you ever heard of a palm technique that descends from the heavens?"
Palm technique descending from the heavens?
Now who has ever seen that!
Wang Yanfeng's head was shaking like a bobblehead.
Qin Xiao's face suddenly revealed a smile like that of an old father.
The best thing is that you've never heard of it, easy to bluff!
"Teacher, what method should I use to comprehend it then?"
Wang Yanfeng asked eagerly.
Qin Xiao shook his head, "Your method is quite special, different from both of theirs. Come with me."
As he spoke, Qin Xiao led Wang Yanfeng to the side.
There was a chair there, a place for people to rest when they were tired from training.
Then, Qin Xiao took out paper and a pen and began drawing on the table.
Being proficient in soul tool research and creation, it wasn't difficult for him to draw some things from his imagination.
Soon, a solemn and stately golden Buddha appeared on the paper.
"Teacher, what is this?"
Wang Yanfeng looked at Qin Xiao with wide eyes and an open mouth.
He racked his brains and couldn't imagine that there was such a... special creature in Soul Land.
"Don't worry about that too much, just meditate on this painting. If you can comprehend anything from it, that means you've entered the threshold. Remember, what you see may not be real, you must comprehend the essence within, every action must resonate with the forces of heaven and earth for you to be considered successful."
"Teacher, only if I comprehend it, I'm considered to have entered the threshold?"
Wang Yanfeng asked Qin Xiao in astonishment.
"Of course."
Qin Xiao nodded as a matter of course, "Don't aim too high and miss the target. I am teaching you according to your abilities, everyone's path is different. If your talent is not bad, you will certainly achieve something."
He gently patted Wang Yanfeng's shoulder.
Wang Yanfeng, being led astray, was stunned, "Teacher, rest assured, I definitely won't let you down. And I also believe that I, Wang Yanfeng, am not a mediocrity!"
He looked at his former friends, all looking like they had gained some understanding, and he secretly swore that he wouldn't be outdone by them.
Who is not a genius then?
"Teacher, is it my turn now?"
Seeing that Qin Xiao had finally finished arranging things for the others and turned his gaze towards him, Gu Tong was extremely excited.
His thoughts were not much different from Wang Yanfeng's. He had seen the performances of the others and, under Qin Xiao's guidance, each had gained some insight. He was somewhat eager to know what specific guidance Qin Xiao could offer him.
Qin Xiao nodded, "That's right, it's your turn."
"Show me your Martial Soul."
Upon hearing this, Gu Tong immediately activated his Soul Ring and soul skill.
Qin Xiao fell silent.
Gu Tong also had an Eye Martial Soul, but his was just a pure Eye Martial Soul, not like Huo Yuhao's, where an eye was also connected to the brain.
In terms of spiritual power, he was not even as strong as Vina.
But...
That's not important, it doesn't affect Qin Xiao's teaching.
Because, teaching someone something has nothing to do with talent.
However.
Seeing Qin Xiao fall into silence, Gu Tong suddenly became anxious.
"Teacher, why aren't you speaking..."
"Teacher, I'm scared."
He was very nervous.
Could it be that he was beyond help?
Wouldn't that be a disaster?
"Don't be nervous."
Qin Xiao smiled slightly, "Actually, it's not as bad as you think, I just feel that there are many paths suitable for you."
"Really!"
"Of course!"
Upon hearing this, most of Gu Tong's worries disappeared. So it wasn't that he was useless, but that there were many ways suited for him...
"Teacher, are you going to tell me a story or draw a picture for me?"
Gu Tong's eyes were filled with anticipation.
Qin Xiao said, "It's none of those..."
He shook his head, "Your situation is a bit special, I believe the traditional method of Unity of Heaven and Man suits you better."
"The traditional method?"
Gu Tong was taken aback.
"That's right, it's about using the forces of nature to unlock one's own potential."
"Then, what should I do?"
Qin Xiao pointed at the sun above.
Gu Tong became even more perplexed, "Are you suggesting I stare at the sun?"
Qin Xiao nodded, "Yes, treat the sun as a ball of flame, and your eyes as the true gold in the fire. The searing of the flames is a kind of trial for you... Over time, your eyes will undergo transformation and gain the miraculous effect of seeing the true essence of all things."
"Really? Truly?"
Gu Tong was bewildered, as he had never heard of such an outlandish method of training before.
As Qin Xiao spoke, his expression suddenly became serious, "If you think I'm deceiving you, then you're absolutely free to abandon the method I've described."
"Uh..."
Faced with such a drastic change in demeanor, Gu Tong immediately fell silent.
He also realized his reaction just now might have been slightly offensive.
"Teacher, I'm sorry, I will look at the sun right now."
Gu Tong turned around abruptly, his eyes fixed on the sun, "Wow, that's really dazzling."
But it was bearable.
When Qin Xiao saw another person set on the path of no return, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Now only one person was left, that was Long Aotian.
When Qin Xiao's gaze fell on himself, Long Aotian suddenly panicked.
He couldn't remember how long it had been since he last felt such discomfort and anxiety.
Part of the reason for this feeling was that his former enemy had become his teacher.
Yet Qin Xiao continued to look at him without saying a word.
This made him even more frantic.
His eyes cast down, flickering occasionally.
Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he caught Qin Xiao shaking his head.
What does your shaking head mean?
Can't you just speak frankly?
"Cough cough."
As Long Aotian was about to ask, Qin Xiao spoke first, "It's a pity, really a pity."
Long Aotian: "..."
His heart skipped a beat, then with a darkened expression, he said, "Just say it directly, there's no need to beat around the bush. I have a strong mental fortitude; as long as it's not too outrageous, I can handle it."
"If that's the case, then all the better..." Qin Xiao said seriously, "Originally, with your talent, I thought there were many paths open to you, but since you have already tapped into some of the Unity of Heaven and Man's abilities, you've made a choice and embarked on a certain path.
This means all the other paths no longer suit you..."
Upon hearing Qin Xiao's words, Long Aotian furrowed his brow, "So what does that mean?"
"It means, unfortunately for you, that you've narrowed your path,"
Qin Xiao said with a slightly sadistic pleasure.
Of course.
Others don't know what's going on in his mind.
Even Long Aotian took his words for truth!
"What!"
"Then what... what should I do!"
It was obvious, both in his demeanor and in his heart, he was in a panic.
If you were to look at it from a gamer's perspective, does this mean his character is now a waste?
"Don't panic."
Seeing that he had frightened Long Aotian quite a bit, and knowing it was enough, Qin Xiao spoke calmly, "I think you might have misinterpreted my words. I said you have narrowed your path, not that you've hit a dead end."
"Relax, there's still hope."
At these words, a surge of undeniable joy appeared in Long Aotian's eyes, "Really? What should I do then?"
Qin Xiao didn't rush to answer, but instead asked back, "Do you have ambition?"
