Chapter 172: Twelve Paths of True Spirit, Done

Inside the National Martial Arts University duel arena, Chen Fan became famous in one battle!

Someone filmed the video of his battle with Xiao Xiong and uploaded it to the school forum.

Everyone looked at that figure standing in the thunder and felt deeply shocked.

At this very moment, no one in the National Martial Arts University dared to look down on this new student who had entered the school for less than a month!

At this time, Chen Fan didn't pay attention to the reactions from the outside world. He had already begun studying the "Twelve Paths of True Spirit" of Ye Wusheng in the War Wolf Martial Arts Hall.

This combat technique had a total of 12 chapters, each corresponding to a beast-form combat technique.

Chen Fan carefully read the general outline of the combat technique.

Once this combat technique is practiced, when an ability user uses a certain form of combat technique, a faint beast form will emerge behind them. At the same time, the attack method will carry the characteristics of that kind of beast.

Taking the tiger-form combat technique as an example, a faint tiger-shaped phantom will appear behind the ability user. When attacking, it will be like a fierce tiger pouncing on its prey, carrying great pressure. At the same time, the ability user's endurance, physical strength, and explosive power will be greatly improved.

And when performing the leopard-form combat technique, the body will become extremely flexible, as if it were an agile leopard. Every movement will be as fast as lightning, and the running speed will also be incomparably fast.

After Chen Fan finished reading, his originally somewhat dismissive thoughts underwent a 180-degree change.

This combat technique is very perverted! Its perversion lies not only in how strong the attack power is, but in its comprehensiveness!

When dealing with different enemies, or even in different environments, ability users can adopt different beast-form combat techniques to fight them.

"No wonder it's said to be invincible in close combat after mastering it! This combat technique is indeed very strong!" Chen Fan couldn't help but nod!

For the next period of time, Chen Fan began to study it earnestly.

Since he himself possessed very strong close-combat ability, and he could currently transform into a Thunder Cloud Leopard, Purple Thunder Mad Lion, Three-Eyed Thunder Ape, and Thunder Falcon.

Therefore, his comprehension of these four types of combat techniques—leopard-form, lion-form, ape-form, and eagle-form—was extremely fast.

He simply transformed himself into a Thunder Cloud Leopard to feel the attack method of the leopard beast!

Therefore, in just a few hours, he actually imitated the moves of these four types of combat techniques seven or eight out of ten.

In the following time, Chen Fan immersed himself almost entirely in the learning of this combat technique, except for attending classes and training.

In just one week, the original four types of combat techniques were completely mastered, and he was also proficient in the other 8 types of combat techniques!

In a training room of the War Wolf Martial Arts Hall, Chen Fan found Tian Xiong to be his sparring partner.

Tian Xiong's strength was strong enough. No matter how he exerted it, he could easily respond. Cooperating with him to test the strength of this combat technique was just right!

In one hour, Chen Fan practiced all 12 types of beast-form combat techniques.

After the two stopped sparring, Tian Xiong looked at Chen Fan with eyes shining brightly: "I heard that Ye Wusheng's most proud student took a full year to master this combat technique, and you actually practiced it in just one week!"

"I'm just relying on the advantage of being able to transform into a strange beast." After Chen Fan was humble, he sat to the side and analyzed himself again.

"The addition of this combat technique to martial power is comparable to my Master-level Spear Technique!"

"Even without using the power of the Thunder-Devouring Sacred Body, relying only on physical strength and this combat technique, I am enough to deal with 3rd-rank peak strange beasts."

"If combined with the blessing of the Elementary Thunder Battle Domain and Nine Heavens Thunder Movement, I can kill 4th-rank mid-stage strange beasts with my bare hands! If I add skills like the Thunder Shadow Clone Technique and Thunder Flash, it should also be very difficult for 4th-rank late-stage ones to kill me!"

After Chen Fan finished analyzing, he was extremely satisfied with the training results of this week.

"Chen Fan, I heard from Vice Principal Huangfu that you plan to go to an other-dimensional space in two days?" Tian Xiong asked from the side.

"Yes, I haven't had time to tell you about this. I found the method for the dragon egg to hatch, which is to absorb dragon bloodline, so I plan to go to the other-dimensional space to hunt this kind of strange beast."

"Do you want me to accompany you? Your identity is very sensitive right now." Tian Xiong worried:

"A few days ago, I had someone check the matter of you encountering the Ghost Fiend Mercenary Group. There is indeed a task about you on the black market, and the task reward is as high as 800 million, so many mercenary groups nearby are preparing to take your head. It's too risky for you to go alone."

"No need, Coach. Flowers in a greenhouse can never truly grow up. I have another purpose for going this time, which is to exercise my own ability and prepare for advancing to the 2nd-rank peak."

"Alright." Tian Xiong nodded: "However, you must be extremely careful."

"Don't worry, Coach."

After Chen Fan left here, he didn't return to the dormitory to rest but rushed toward the villa area in the back of the school.

He was preparing to visit the Dean of the Beast Taming Academy—Su Mu.

This person is the person who knows the most about strange beasts in the National Martial Arts University, known as the Encyclopedia of Strange Beasts!

Chen Fan's purpose was only one, and that was to inquire about which strange beasts in the nearby other-dimensional spaces contained dragon bloodline.

Chen Fan came to the door of Su Mu's villa and pressed the doorbell lightly. A moment later, a middle-aged man dressed as a butler pushed the door and greeted him.

"You are Classmate Chen, right?" The middle-aged man asked with a smile.

"Yes, I've come to visit Dean Su." Chen Fan hurriedly replied.

"Follow me in, Dean Su has been waiting for you."

The butler always had a smile on his face and led Chen Fan to the living room.

On the sofa in the living room was an old man with a goat beard. At this time, he was teasing a slender creature half a meter long.

Chen Fan looked closely and saw that this creature was extremely extraordinary, with dragon horns on its head and four claws under its abdomen. It was exactly a living young dragon!

"It seems this is the young dragon Dean Su hatched." Chen Fan looked at this young dragon with extreme curiosity.

This young dragon also noticed Chen Fan. Its eyes became fierce, and it was extremely ferocious. If it weren't for the old man holding it in his hand, it would have already rushed out to tear and bite Chen Fan.

"Good guy, so ferocious even at such a young age." Chen Fan muttered to himself secretly.

At this time, the old man had already stood up, and a smile appeared on his face as he looked at Chen Fan.

"This little guy has a very wild nature, and its vigilance toward strangers is very strong."

Chen Fan hurriedly bowed respectfully to the old man: "Dean Su, hello, student has come to bother you."

"Haha, it doesn't count, it doesn't count, come over and sit." Facing Chen Fan, Su Mu appeared extremely amiable.

"In the morning, Vice Principal Huangfu called me and said you were coming, and I have already understood the matter."

After he pulled Chen Fan to sit down, he looked at the butler standing on the side and said: "Yuan Ping, bring me the materials I asked you to organize."

"Alright, Dean." The butler retreated respectfully, and not long after, he brought a thick booklet.

The booklet was bound with A4 paper, clearly produced temporarily.

Su Mu handed it to Chen Fan and said: "Strange beasts containing dragon bloodline are relatively rare. Based on my knowledge over these years, I only know of 189 types, and only 12 types have appeared in Wanggu Pass."

Chen Fan listened while flipping open the booklet.

Each sheet of A4 paper inside recorded a type of strange beast containing dragon bloodline.

Su Mu was extremely patient with Chen Fan, explaining the habits, characteristics, and even distribution areas of each strange beast to Chen Fan one by one.

After Chen Fan finished listening earnestly, he thanked him sincerely: "Dean Su, thank you."

Su Mu smiled and said: "I look forward to you hatching that dragon egg. By then, this young dragon of mine can also have a playmate."

"It definitely will." Chen Fan nodded. He was full of confidence in hatching the dragon egg. ===== CHAPTER 173 =====
