Chapter 21 Seeking Instruction from the Teacher, Dual Cultivation of Divine Body and Spirit

Ziteng University, Office of Resource Management.

A middle-aged man with a receding hairline is writing something.

Suddenly there was a knock on his office door, and a young teacher walked in:

"Director! That kid's out of seclusion!"

He looked very excited.

"What?" the middle-aged man asked, puzzled. "Which kid?"

"Ye Yang! That student you asked me to keep an eye on a month ago! The freshman who completed the 5 Destiny Point quest within a month of starting the dungeon!"

As soon as the young teacher mentioned it, the middle-aged man remembered. He frowned slightly and said, "Didn't I tell you that he sent messages to those old guys in those departments as soon as he came out of seclusion? There's no need to ask me."

Ye Yang's performance was indeed outstanding, but at most he was just a genius who was misjudged by the examiners.

The potential of his work is still questionable; for teachers from other departments to poach him from the Immortal Martial Arts department is like gambling on a gem.

When the middle-aged director first discovered this person a month ago, he was genuinely excited and paid some attention to the student, just to have some fun with him.

But now a month has passed, and the opening ceremony of this year's school is almost here. How can I be in the mood to care about this?

Young people just don't know how to do things. —Thinking to himself, the middle-aged director picked up his water glass.

However, ignoring the middle-aged man's somewhat displeased expression, the young teacher excitedly exclaimed, "Director! This time, Ye Yang received a 50 Destiny Points academic credit mission immediately after emerging from seclusion!"

"Two months, a newborn, 50 Destiny Points!"

The middle-aged director almost spat out his water, his eyes wide with shock.

Completed in two months a task that 95% of Ziteng University students couldn’t finish in 10 years.

What kind of little monster is this?

Once the dungeon masters of the Immortal Alliance start the dungeon, they are completely unaware of the dungeon's storyline and the distribution of power.

Dying two or three times and being resurrected two or three times within a year, accumulating a large amount of fate points in debt, is all commonplace.

Moreover, the higher the potential of a dungeon, the stronger the powerful the enemies inside, and the deeper the waters. If the dungeon master is even slightly reckless, he will die very quickly.

The lower the potential of a dungeon, the worse its cultivation system or technology level will be, resulting in slower leveling and an inability to acquire a large number of Destiny Points in a short period of time.

After all, one person's strength is limited.

Therefore, Ye Yang's situation is extremely rare.

"I need to... first tell the heads of the major departments about this."

"This Ye Yang also needs a more detailed assessment of his potential in the dungeon! To thoroughly understand his true worth."

The middle-aged director immediately began editing the message.

It wasn't that he had a particularly strong sense of responsibility towards Ziteng University; it was just that Ye Yang's extraordinary abilities were discovered by them first, and if they didn't communicate with the major departments in time, they would inevitably be criticized in the future.

Within minutes, the heads of several departments learned about Ye Yang's situation, and they all expressed interest in the student.

As a result, the water, fire, and lightning magic schools each sent a teacher to contact Ye Yang and reassess his potential in the dungeon.

However, Ye Yang is still a member of the Immortal Martial Arts system. Although the Immortal Martial Arts system has declined in major universities in recent centuries and is recognized as one of the least suitable cultivation systems for dungeon masters, outside of major universities, the Immortal Martial Arts path is still a prominent school of the Immortal Alliance.

Especially that old man Guo, we have to give him some face.

So the three teachers went together to Old Man Guo's residence.

……

"teacher!"

After Ye Yang found the two-story bamboo house where Old Guo lived, he was about to ring the doorbell when he saw an old man with white eyebrows digging in the courtyard and planting vegetables.

Upon hearing Ye Yang's call, Old Guo raised a white eyebrow.

After so many years, he finally met a disciple he liked. How could he not care?

Although he had only spent a few days with Ye Yang, the boy's comprehension ability surprised him somewhat.

Take the "Basic Breathing Method" for example. Although this breathing method was completed under the guidance of Master Guo, Ye Yang still managed to do it in an incredibly short time!

If it were an ordinary freshman, let alone creating laws for their own instance world, they might not even be able to touch the edge of the extraordinary power of the instance world after a month or two.

Even with Master Guo's guidance, it would take an average person at least four or five months to create a somewhat rudimentary method like the "Basic Breathing Method," let alone a year or two.

But Ye Yang didn't last more than 10 days.

More importantly, during this process, he demonstrated remarkable comprehension. Guo Lao discovered that this young man always grasped things immediately and was very good at understanding his ideas.

Therefore, he has regarded Ye Yang as the only candidate to inherit the "True Meaning Martial Arts" that he created.

Before the start of the semester, Ye Yang seemed to be busy developing his own instance world and didn't come to see him, which made Old Guo feel a little bored.

So I planted two more acres of vegetables.

"Come in." Old Guo, still holding his hoe, looked at Ye Yang. "Are you done with the dungeon run?"

Ye Yang nodded and smiled, "All done! A very fruitful day!"

"By the way, teacher, I came here today to ask you a very important question."

Ye Yang's smile faded, and he said with a serious expression:

"My avatar in the instance has developed a powerful spiritual force that allows me to control objects remotely due to the unique cultivation system within the instance. I have named it Spiritual Power."

"The power of mental energy is even twice that of my physical body! And it belongs to ranged attacks. If I learn the divine power of splitting the mind into thoughts, I can split the mental energy into as many strands as I have thoughts."

"Ten strands of mental energy applied to a weapon create a tenfold amplitude! That's twenty times the power of physical strength!"

"If it's 100 strands of mental energy, that's 100 times the amplitude of mental energy, which is 200 times the strength of the physical body!"

"And now, I can achieve a 6-fold amplitude."

As Mr. Guo listened, his smile faded.

What does this mean?

You're not going to learn martial arts anymore?

However, Ye Yang quickly changed the subject, saying, "But recently I discovered that after fusing my mental power with the immortal divine sense I cultivated, I have an extremely high talent for soul attacks!"

"It can directly attack the soul in another person's sea of ​​consciousness, ignoring the self-protection of the sea of ​​consciousness, and is also more flexible and powerful than the mental power of others."

"I plan to pursue illusion magic or the path of soul obliteration. Of course, physical training is also very important in my dungeon world; it is the foundation of everything. That's why I chose to join the Immortal Martial Arts Department of Ziteng University."

Ye Yang concealed nothing and revealed his plans in full: "I plan to try dual cultivation of spirit and body, combining physical attacks with soul attacks."

"Teacher, you are a master of the martial arts world. In your opinion, is my idea feasible?"

Faced with Ye Yang's question, Old Guo fell silent, his expression gradually becoming very complicated.

There was a hint of emotion in her eyes as she looked at Ye Yang.

Finally, he sighed and said:

"Originally, I just wanted to find a student who was capable enough to inherit and extend the path I had created."

"After all, I am a dungeon owner myself, and the immortal martial arts path I created is only meaningful to dungeon owners."

"Only dungeon masters with enormous dungeon potential and whose dungeon world cultivation system is suitable can gain the greatest benefits through my path."

"If they weren't the dungeon masters, following my path would only harm them."

"But the dungeon master... now they look down on the body-refining path, and no one is willing to learn my way or my method."

"The result is that even though there are many suitable students, I can't recruit them; they don't even want to understand what this path is all about!"

Old Guo looked at Ye Yang, then suddenly grinned: "But you kid, you're practically a gift from heaven to my lineage!"
