Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice

Chapter 58 – Code: The Whole Village Eats

"Is there a basic cultivation method that can encompass all other basic cultivation methods?"

While supervising Hua Hu, Qing Qiuyue and others in their cultivation, Su Yun pondered: "As long as one cultivates this kind of method, whether it's the Dragon Roar or the Ape King's Technique, or the Bi Fang Transformation, or other martial arts, one can practice them with ease!"

He corrected the movements of the four people, gradually making their techniques more standard, and let his thoughts soar: "If this method's inclusiveness is too strong, it may lack focus and not have any advantages. Therefore, one must choose a strength as a breakthrough point, which can repair other shortcomings and gradually make them catch up with the strength, so as not to fall behind..."

Idle Cloud Taoist and Master Tu Ming stood by and watched, becoming more and more shocked.

Su Yun's movements were terrifyingly accurate, more standard than anyone else's, without the slightest error, as if they had been precisely measured!

If it were only once or twice, it would be fine, but the key was that Su Yun's movements were accurate every time, without any mistakes!

"How did he train like this?"

The two were a little confused: "Is this the terrifying talent of a disciple of the Heavenly Dao Academy?"

They misunderstood Su Yun.

Su Yun relied not on talent, although talent also played a role, but the greater role was played by the Huang Zhong and the time perception he had developed since he became blind.

His time perception allowed him to accurately record and calculate everything around him, including his own movements, and make judgments accordingly.

And Huang Zhong allowed his recording and calculation to be accurate to the second and the hou, two time units!

His techniques were not perfect without any flaws. If someone could pay attention to the movement details of one three-hundred-and-sixtieth of a second, they could see that there were slight flaws in Su Yun's techniques at that time scale.

.

He currently had no way to make his techniques more precise.

But who among ordinary people could notice the flaws at the hou level?

Unknowingly, two days passed, and although the three little foxes worked hard, they still couldn't learn the Immortal Ape Qi Cultivation Technique. On the other hand, they did learn the Bi Fang Divine Movement Qi Cultivation Technique from the Shuo Fang Imperial Academy, and they made some progress.

Hu Buping, Li Xiaofan, and Qing Qiuyue had followed Wild Fox Master for two or three years and had a foundation in the old saint's unique skills, so they made rapid progress.

Compared to other disciples, they were already learning very quickly.

It was Hua Hu who had been practicing the old saint's unique skills for longer than Su Yun, and he had already cultivated both the Bi Fang Divine Movement Qi Cultivation Technique and the Immortal Ape Qi Cultivation Technique. His progress was so fast that it made people envious.Idle Cloud Taoist and Master Tu Ming have been recording Su Yun's teachings to the crowd these past few days, trying to organize the new Bi Fang Shen Xing Yang Qi Pian, but they found that Su Yun's Xian Yuan Yang Qi Pian was also exceptionally exquisite!

"Baldy, Xian Yuan Yang Qi Pian is also promising!"

Idle Cloud Taoist's eyes lit up. "Should we record it together?"

Master Tu Ming shook his head. "Xian Yuan Yang Qi Pian is a foundation-building technique from Yuan Zhou. We are not good at it in Shuo Fang. If we learn it, it will add burden to the scholars..."

Idle Cloud laughed. "We only record it. As for whether to use it or not, let Left Protector decide."

Master Tu Ming nodded. "Left Protector is afraid to have a headache deciding. Hehe..."

They can record the essence of the moves, but they cannot record the specific visualization. For the visualization of Bi Fang and White Ape, it must be personally taught by Su Yun.

Therefore, they still need Su Yun to personally draw the Bi Fang diagram, White Ape diagram, and Jiao Long diagram.

Moreover, even if Su Yun is willing to teach, it is still inferior to seeing it in person and observing it on the spot. Su Yun achieved such high achievements in his martial arts by personally seeing and observing the Crocodile Dragon, White Ape, and Bi Fang crossing the tribulation.

In the early morning, Su Yun, Hua Hu, and others sat in the Fu Shan carriage, and the Fu Shan beast opened its legs and walked slowly towards the outside of the academy. The second floor of the Fu Shan carriage had already arranged the food, and Idle Cloud Taoist and Master Tu Ming smiled at them.

"Eat slowly, the exam is still far away."

Master Tu Ming laughed. "Only when you eat enough can you have the strength to take the exam. Today, you will work hard!"

Idle Cloud Taoist smiled. "After all, you have to fight against 30,000 people. If you don't eat enough, you might be eliminated because of too much physical exhaustion."

Fighting against 30,000 people is just a joke, but this exam must eat and drink enough, otherwise, it is really possible to be eliminated due to too much physical exhaustion.

The Fu Shan carriage walked on the cloud bridge, getting higher and higher, and walked out of the Wen Chang academy, heading straight to the city center.

On the cloud bridge, beasts and carriages came from different buildings. These beasts were not all Fu Shan beasts, and some of the small buildings on the backs of the beasts had ten or twenty scholars.

Su Yun looked up at the sky above Shuo Fang City and saw hundreds and thousands of cloud bridges hanging between the tall buildings. On these roads, beasts and carriages carrying Shuo Fang scholars were moving towards the same direction.

Although the cloud bridge is high, it is like a thread floating in the air, and although the beasts are large, they are like ants walking on the thread.

"It's so spectacular..." Su Yun and others looked at this scene from afar, deeply shocked.Their burdened mountain cart joined the flow of vehicles, becoming one of them.

Today was the entrance exam for the official school in Shuofang. Whether you were from the city or the countryside, everyone was equal in the face of the entrance exam. They had to pass the exam before entering various schools to learn more advanced skills!

This was also an extremely important opportunity for poor scholars, because it was a chance to change the fate of their children from poor families!

Suddenly, Su Yun's heart moved. Looking through the car window at the small building on the back of a beast cart on the opposite Yun bridge, he saw a man in black standing there with his hands behind his back.

Su Yun's left eye twitched and he said in a deep voice, "Second brother, look over there!"

Hua Hu leaned over to the window and looked over. His hair stood on end and his dog-eared hat stood up. "The whole village eats together!"

The man in black was none other than Jiao Shu'Ao, the one who caused the whole village to eat together. For some reason, he was standing on the roof of the cart, his clothes fluttering in the wind.

Master Tu Ming and Idle Cloud Taoist saw their serious expressions and hurriedly leaned over to the window. However, the man in black seemed to sense their gaze and suddenly leaped into the air and disappeared without a trace.

"Master, who is that person?"

Master Tu Ming's face was solemn. "This person's body movement is unpredictable, and his strength is extremely high!"

Su Yun said in a deep voice, "Master, Taoist, have there been any strange deaths in Shuofang recently? The kind where many people died."

Master Tu Ming and Idle Cloud Taoist looked at each other. Idle Cloud Taoist took out paper and pen and quickly wrote a letter. He opened the window and a wild crane suddenly flew out of his head, which was actually his spiritual power transformed into a wild crane, carrying the letter and flapping its wings away.

"I will ask the martial god catcher of the government to investigate the recent cases."

Idle Cloud Taoist tentatively said, "Sir, is that black-clothed man with the code name 'the whole village eats together' related to the case you want to investigate? Is the code name of this case 'the whole village eats together'?"

Su Yun neither confirmed nor denied it and said, "The whole village eats together is a poisonous snake transformed into a dragon. There is a very terrible existence behind it, possibly a demonic person, which will cause great casualties to Shuofang City. However, the whole village eats together and the demonic person are just pawns of the mastermind behind the scenes. The only information I can reveal is this."

Master Tu Ming and Idle Cloud Taoist's faces changed dramatically, and they hurriedly wrote letters with cold sweat rolling down their foreheads.

Idle Cloud Taoist quickly said, "The demonic person is not to be trifled with! You write to the Left Prefect and ask him to come to the exam site immediately! I will write to the martial god catcher and ask him to immediately mobilize all the catchers to track down the whereabouts of the man in black!"Master Tu Ming was sweating profusely and his voice was hoarse as he said, "The attack on Shuofang City caused great casualties. Without a doubt, the demonic cultivators are targeting the exam. We must discuss with the officials from other academies and temporarily suspend the exam."

The two of them displayed their spiritual abilities. Idle Cloud Taoist transformed into a wild crane carrying a message and flew away, while Master Tu Ming's spiritual ability was a bright mirror, in which a snake-necked peng bird flew out.

The two of them sat restlessly in the small building, pacing anxiously. Suddenly, Idle Cloud Taoist pushed open the window and leaped out.

"Taoist, wait for me!" Master Tu Ming also jumped out of the window and the two of them disappeared.

Su Yun and Hua Hu exchanged a glance. They had already seen the horrors of the demonic cultivators from the ancient book in the Dragon Burial Tomb. The students from the Tian Dao Academy were almost completely wiped out!

But what was even more terrifying was the human heart!

If it was true that the entire village was saved by the leader of the senior brother or his disciples, then the mastermind behind the scenes was the leader of the senior brother, who had cultivated the True Dragon Sixteen Scrolls!

With his mastery of the technique to deal with demonic cultivators, he used the help of the entire village to release the demonic cultivators, who slaughtered the people of Shuofang City and caused great chaos. He then killed the demonic cultivators himself, thereby increasing his prestige.

How to expand his prestige?

It all depended on how much anger the demonic cultivators aroused among the people!

Attacking the students who participated in the exam was undoubtedly the best way!

"I hope Left Chief can persuade the officials from other academies to postpone the exam," Su Yun thought.

In the sky, two clouds converged and became one. The beast cart that Jiao Shu'Ao had stood on earlier arrived next to the carriage that Su Yun and the others were riding in, and the two carts drove side by side.

The beast cart was different from the others. It was a giant bird carrying a two-story wooden tower, which was more agile and faster than the other carts.

Su Yun looked at the giant bird and marveled at it. The land of Yuan Shuo was vast and had many strange species. The giant bird had thick legs and sharp claws, and was almost four stories tall. It had long feathers on its body and thick feathers on its wings. Su Yun wondered if it could fly.

The coachman sat on the second-floor balcony of the wooden tower carried by the giant bird, holding the reins tied around the bird's neck with both hands.

"Such a big bird, it shouldn't be able to fly, right?" Su Yun thought to himself.

He glanced over and saw a quiet long-haired girl sitting by the window on the second floor of the beast cart.

The girl was secretly looking at him, but quickly turned her head when she saw him looking.

Su Yun looked closely and saw that the girl was leaning against the window, wearing a black dress with a wide waistband. The sleeves were wide, and her hands were placed on the table in front of her. The black dress was embroidered with flower petals in a diamond shape as decoration.She tied two ponytails, one on the left and one on the right, hanging on her shoulders. With an egg-shaped face, she looked round with the ponytails.

Her nose was straight. If she tilted her head slightly, she could hold a brush on the tip of her nose without it falling off.

The girl with twin ponytails turned her eyes and glanced over here sneakily.

Su Yun withdrew his gaze, not looking sideways.

The opposite Hua Hu stared at him straight, smiling ambiguously, "Xiao Yun, be careful, that girl is a demon!"
