Chapter 401

After the two expressed their intentions to Shui Lanlan, Shui Lanlan laughed, "If you want to fight against true geniuses and stimulate your own potential, it's very simple: fight. Through constant fighting and understanding various fighting styles, you can become very powerful."

"Everyone's fighting style and fighting characteristics are different. You must find the opponent's weakness in the shortest time and use it. Learn to observe carefully and never have any hesitation."

"Just now, in the process of fighting with you, tell me where my shortcomings are. No one is perfect. After fighting with me for so long, you should have discovered some problems, right?"

Wan Shitong shook his head and said seriously, "At least I didn't find it during the time I fought with you. It stands to reason that the Nine Nether Underworld Flame has a certain impact on the water attribute, but I can't feel it at all."

"No, that's your wrong point of view. Water and fire are actually a process of complementing each other. Unfortunately, your mastery of the Nine Nether Underworld Flame is too low. When you can thoroughly master the Nine Nether Underworld Flame, the attack will not pose any threat to you. The mastery is not enough."

"There is a way to improve your control over the Nine Nether Underworld Flame. Are you willing to try? The process is very painful and tormenting, but if you persist, you will definitely undergo a transformation."

Wan Shitong originally thought that after the Heavenly Machine Tower matter, he was handy in his mastery of the Nine Nether Underworld Flame. After hearing what Lanlan said, he was a bit moved.

He quickly asked, "What exactly is it? Tell me about it. I also want the Nine Nether Underworld Flame to exert more powerful power. As a senior sister helping a junior brother, there should be no problem, right?"

"Simple. This matter is very simple. You just need to persist. There is no life danger."

After speaking, a water bubble trapped Wan Shitong. Shui Lanlan laughed, "When you can break through this water bubble with the Nine Nether Underworld Flame, I will admit that you have thoroughly mastered the Nine Nether Underworld Flame."

"If you can't even break through a water bubble, don't participate in the academy competition in a few days. It's just a waste of shame. I don't hope that the students' strength is weak, making the Dean suffer the ridicule of old rivals."

"As for you, Chen Ang, your strength is quite good in all aspects. In the current era, you are a true powerhouse. Compared with those geniuses of the past, there is a gap."

"My advice to you is to improve your spear technique proficiency. Your own strength is very sufficient, but you don't know how to release the power reasonably. This is your biggest weakness."

"Of course, the opinion is for reference only. If you are unwilling, there is no way. I give you a choice. I have heard of the Azure Dragon Spear Technique. When you attacked the bubble just now, I could clearly feel that you were a bit unfamiliar with the Azure Dragon Spear Technique, and the power was too scattered."

"The Azure Dragon Spear Technique requires gathering all power into one point, breaking the surface with a point, and forming a kill. This is the problem you urgently need to solve now. As a person who has come over, I hope you can attach importance to it."

"This Array-Breaking Qilin Spear and Azure Dragon Spear Technique are what you have mastered recently, and the fit with your body is not high. What you need to do these days is to make the use of the Array-Breaking Qilin Spear reach the point of doing as you wish."

"This process is very long, and there is no better suggestion. The Dean thinks highly of you, so I believe there will be no problem. First, practice the Azure Dragon Spear Technique to the small success stage and try the power."

"According to the information obtained, the small success of the Azure Dragon Spear Technique is enough to resist the attacks of most geniuses below the Spirit Realm. As for deeper levels, you need to constantly pursue and explore slowly."

"I also studied the Azure Dragon Spear Technique diligently for a period of time back then. The final outcome was in vain. Your talent is more formidable than mine, so I believe you will definitely have gains."

In the dead of night, a new guest came to Wuqu Academy. Seeing this person arrive, the Dean said loudly, "Old thing, why do you have time to come to me tonight?"

"Dean Li, could it be that you don't welcome me?"

"Hahaha, Dean Wang, you are really joking. How can there be a reason not to welcome you?"

Dean Li is the Dean of Wuqu Academy, while Dean Wang is the Dean of the Saint Beast Academy. Every time the two Deans meet, they are full of sparks. The two come and go, and neither leaves the other.

Dean Wang took the lead and said, "The Demon Lord's clone came to the Perished World recently. Why didn't you notify me in advance?"

"Sigh, who knows? I thought you were in retreat and cultivation, so I didn't have the heart to notify you. Moreover, it was a Demon Lord's clone, and it could still be solved. There was no need. If I could do it myself, why ask others? You are right, right?"

"Remember to notify me in time if there is such a situation next time. How is the preparation for the competition between the two universities this time? I have many geniuses who are eager to try and want to see how the strength of Wuqu Academy is."

"Then let's wait and see. I also want to see how powerful the Saint Beast Academy is."

399: Academy Competition

"Now the Perished World is becoming more and more unstable. Old thing, do

"My life is cheap; the worst that can happen is I die at the hands of the Demon Race. I believe that even after I die, those disciples of the Sacred Beast Academy will take care of things. I am quite at ease in my heart. Let me first go and see who this Chen Ang is, the one who has earned the praise of Old Man Tianji."

Chen Ang was there training in the Azure Dragon Spear Art when the old man behind him spoke up: "You are Chen Ang. I heard from Dean Li that you, kid, have quite strong strength and talent in all aspects. To actually dare to practice the Dragon Spear Art—you truly have great courage born of high skill."

Feeling that he could not move his entire body, he asked with confusion: "Senior, what is the situation here? Why must you restrict my cultivation and prevent me from moving for the time being?"

"Not letting you move is so that I can converse with you better. An old friend asked me to guide you. You brat, watch the following maneuvers closely."

The old man took the Spear-Breaking Qilin Spear and began to brandish it, saying to Chen Ang with a smile: "Watch closely, this is what is called the Azure Dragon Spear Art."

The old man began to brandish it wantonly. After a few moves, an Azure Dragon actually appeared in the sky, its momentum like a rainbow. It was completely different from what he had imagined, and he could not help but be shocked.

He asked: "Senior, who exactly are you? Why are you able to learn the Azure Dragon Spear Art?"

"Who I am is not important. What is important is that I have already taught you the true Azure Dragon Spear Art. How much you can comprehend depends on your own fortune."

He returned the Spear-Breaking Qilin Spear to Chen Ang and turned to leave. He used the Azure Dragon Spear Art with such proficiency; it seems he really is an old monster. Based on the memories of just a moment ago, he began to practice earnestly.

"A genius, truly a genius. After the old man's guidance, in just one night, he has already reached the Minor Accomplishment realm of the Azure Dragon Spear Art."

After finishing, the old man turned and left. During the competition the next day, he saw that old man at a glance. He felt some confusion in his heart; he had not expected that the person who taught him the Azure Dragon Spear Art a few days ago was the Dean of the Sacred Beast Academy. Why on earth would it be like this? He was very confused.

The first match was Shui Lanlan versus Yan Jun. The two were evenly matched in strength, but in the end, Shui Lanlan was slightly superior, finding an opportunity to defeat Yan Jun.

When it came to Wan Shitong, he felt immense pressure. He recognized the person before him as well, and he urged: "Cousin, is it not a bit inappropriate to do this?"

"Cousin, what is inappropriate about it? Today, I actually want to see how your strength is."

Wan Shitong felt bitter inside. Others might not know his cousin's situation, but he was very clear about it. Long Xing was the only genius in the entire Dragon family besides himself, and she possessed the Zhu Que bloodline; he had to respond with all his might.

The two began to fight. The Zhu Que Divine Fire and the Nine Nether Underworld Flame collided with each other, neither willing to yield to the other, but the Nine Nether Underworld Flame was clearly slightly superior, striking the Zhu Que Divine Fire first.

Having won two consecutive matches, the Dean of the Wuqu Academy was very happy and said with a smile: "Old fellow, did you see that? My Wuqu Academy's strength is so formidable, we have already cut down two of your great generals in a row. I want to see who you will choose to send as your final general?"

Dean Wang of the Sacred Beast Academy said sternly: "The person sent this time, his strength is not very strong. I don't know if Dean Li has heard his name: An Hu."

Dean Li said hurriedly: "What? You say An Hu? How dare you let him out? Are you not afraid that his mental state will have problems again?"

"What problems could there be? I have cured his strange illness, and now he will not have any ailments. Furthermore, he has given me a guarantee: if there is another situation where he harms others, I can kill him with my own hands."

"A genius, having enough talent is not enough; one must also know how to be obedient and endure hardship. He is my proud student, and he has kept his word all these years. Just consider it letting Chen Ang gain some experience."

Looking at the stranger before him, he said: "I am Chen Ang, and you?"

"I am An Hu. I hope you will go all out in the coming battle. I haven't felt the air of freedom for a long time; don't let me down."

After speaking, An Hu took out his wooden spear and began to attack. What Chen Ang did not understand was why An Hu's spear was made of wood, but when they began to fight, he discovered the problem.

This was not made of ordinary wood. An ordinary wooden spear would definitely have been broken by a single strike, but this wooden spear showed no changes after bearing huge attacks. He felt it was incredible.

An Hu explained: "This wooden spear is made from ten-thousand-year profound wood. The whole thing is very sturdy, and it is not easy to shatter it. Next, let's see your full strength."

After speaking, he began to attack Chen Ang. Chen Ang took out the Spear-Breaking Qilin Spear to resist, but his own attacks had no effect in front of An Hu. Every attack was blocked, which made him feel very broken inside.

He asked: "What is the situation? Why does every attack seem to be predicted in advance in your eyes, allowing you to block the trajectory of my attacks?"

"As for that, it might be that your combat experience is too little. I have been suppressing my cultivation at the peak of Tier 9 for a long time, and I have also killed quite a few messy Demon Kings in the Beast Forest."

"I have been looked after by special teachers at the Sacred Beast Academy since I was young, and I have been fighting in the Beast Forest the whole time, so there is definitely a gap. Only with pressure is there motivation. I believe you shouldn't mind, right? If it really doesn't work, you can throw away your weapon and fight with your bare hands."

Chen Ang smiled: "This is what you said, don't regret it if you lose."

Seeing An Hu throw away his weapon, he began to clash head-on with Chen Ang. He had originally thought that without a weapon, An Hu's strength would be greatly weakened, but the result was the exact opposite. Having lost his weapon, An Hu displayed his original state, becoming unconstrained, and his attack rhythm became faster and faster.

The Dean of the Wuqu Academy said: "Old thing, isn't this clearly bullying people? You clearly know that An Hu practices fist techniques, yet you let Chen Ang intentionally fall for this trap."

"Hey, this is where you are wrong. For Chen Ang to become more formidable, he must face many difficulties. An Hu is my student, he has a sense of proportion when he strikes. What kind of problem could happen here? You tell me, right?"

The two began to fight, and Chen Ang felt the pressure growing greater and greater. The Azure Dragon Spear Art had clearly been practiced to Minor Accomplishment, but when facing a true top-tier monster like An Hu, there was indeed a gap.

It was simply impossible to make up for it with combat experience. Thinking about it, he had to persist; it concerned the face of the Wuqu Academy. If he lost, he would definitely be blamed by the Dean, so he gritted his teeth and persisted.

He did not believe that An Hu could have no weaknesses at all; it was just that he hadn't discovered them yet. Just as Shui Lanlan said, even a genius would have weaknesses. It depends on whether one can hide the weakness and not be discovered by others. He could only wait for An Hu to make a mistake and deliver a fatal blow.

"Sigh, old thing, it seems An Hu is slightly superior. Everything that could be taught in the Azure Dragon Spear Art has been taught, but it's a pity the time for comprehension was too short. To be able to reach this stage is already very good."

The Dean of the Wuqu Academy said: "Is that so? Who wins and who loses is not yet certain. Let us wait and see."

After speaking, the two watched the match quietly. No matter what Dean Wang was saying, he did not pay any more attention to him. Dean Li also understood that this battle absolutely could not be lost; it concerned the face of the academy. If you can't win the steamed bun, you must at least win the breath.

Chen Ang used the Azure Dragon Spear Art to try to resist. Suddenly, a bright idea struck him: An Hu's arm strength was extremely immense, but what about his legs? That just happened to be the key point.

He began to attack An Hu's legs. This attack indeed discovered the problem. It seemed An Hu's right leg had been injured or something; every time he attacked the right leg, he chose to evade.

Finding the right moment, he stabbed directly with his spear, successfully tripping An Hu. He placed the Spear-Breaking Qilin Spear at his neck and said: "Sorry, I won by luck this time."

"Haha, being able to discover my weakness, that is very impressive. The Wuqu Academy has many geniuses."

Chen Ang began to be humble: "Not at all, not at all. Your strength is very strong; I simply utilized a loophole in the rules."

After speaking, the two stood up and left. In the end, Chen Ang won, which made the Dean very happy.

"Old friend, I won't see you off this time. The agreement we made earlier, do you think it should be fulfilled?"

"Hmph, I am a person who keeps his promises. This is my personal Sacred Beast Jade Pendant. The wearer can achieve an extremely fast cultivation speed. Consider it a meeting gift."

"Chen Ang will thank you for your contribution."

After finishing these matters, in the evening, the Dean called Chen Ang over and said: "You brat, do you know why I called you here today?"

He asked with a face full of confusion: "Dean, what exactly is going on? I am very curious, but it must be a good thing."

"This Sacred Beast Jade Pendant is Dean Li's fitness jade pendant. It is a rare treasure. Wearing it and activating it with power will increase cultivation speed."

After using it, he found that the cultivation speed was much faster than before. He asked with confusion: "Dean, how can this jade pendant speed up a person's cultivation? It even improves the body's extraction of Qi."

"Haha, the world is vast and full of wonders. You don't need to worry about these things. It is a treasure I won from a bet with Dean Li. You must cherish it well. I have to say, that old thing has a lot of good treasures in his hands. Next time, I must find a way to swindle two more."

Chen Ang was quite speechless regarding the Dean. That Dean of the Sacred Beast Academy taught him the Azure Dragon Spear Art. During the process of fighting him last night, he clearly felt he was not a bad person. It seems that just as the rumors say, the two are good friends, but because of some knots in their hearts, things became like that.

He tentatively said: "Dean, have you ever thought about letting the two of you reconcile?"

"Sigh, what would it mean for us to reconcile? Now that it has reached this outcome, changing it would be somewhat impolite. Besides, even if I wanted to reconcile, would that old man be willing? He definitely wouldn't be. Then why should I ask for trouble? You tell me, right?"

Hearing this, Chen Ang understood something, and he felt embarrassed to say more. The grievances of the older generation are not something the younger generation can interfere with; it is both a taboo and a rule.
