Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation-Chapter 560 - 553: Leaving
"Teacher, can I also participate in the magic duel competition?" Lei Zuocheng's tone was a bit excited.
He now had the confidence to deal with any Profound Immortal cultivator, and it was not just because he had reached the peak of the Profound Immortal stage.
Over the last twenty days of cultivation, his Immortal Essence had multiplied several times over. Moreover, his Immortal Essence had become denser and his Divine Will had significantly increased.
This made his confidence soar. Compared to artifact refining, he felt that he had a greater chance of winning in the magic duel.
The other cultivator students who hadn't participated in the magic duel competition looked at Ding Huan with the same yearning. They felt the same way as Lei Zuocheng, feeling that their mana had surged unpredictably, bringing them unexpected confidence.
Ding Huan waved his hand: "Don't worry, you can still win a rank in artifact refining."
"But I can only barely refine Low Grade Immortal Artifacts right now..." Lei Zuocheng said hesitantly.
"Don't worry, now I will teach you new spells.
Ji Xing, Zhuoqi, Fan Qingsi, and Long Xiyue, you each cultivate the divine skills on the Jade Scroll. If you have any questions, I will remind you at any time."
Ding Huan took out four Jade Scrolls and handed them to the four people respectively.
These divine skills were modified from the Three Thousand Great Daos. He did not believe that this overwhelming method could not win ranks in this Profound Immortal competition.
"Lin Zhenruo, Li Yunmu, you two start setting up arrays repeatedly. If any problems arise in the process, I will point them out for you to correct.
Lei Zuocheng, you start refining artifacts immediately. Qianxun Haoyi will also start making talismans now..."
From the beginning, Ding Huan never intended to teach them one by one.
He was in the mid-stage of the Immortal King, with the Sea of Consciousness of the Great Dao Universe. How could he waste time teaching individual Profound Immortal realm students one by one?
With their experience of increasing their Immortal Essence several times over in just half a month's training to reach the Profound Immortal peak, everyone had complete trust in Ding Huan.
Everyone cultivated divine skills, Daoist skills, artifact refining, array setting, and talisman refining according to Ding Huan's instructions.
To their surprise, during their array setting, artifact refining, and talisman making, any slight deviations in technique or mistakes in Daoist spells were promptly pointed out by Ding Huan's voice in their ears.
Every word from Ding Huan solved the problems they faced or those yet to occur.
Was this really teaching? It was practically cramming knowledge directly into their brains.
Qianxun Haoyi had always thought that it would take him at least ten years to craft a Second-level Immortal Talisman.
But now, whenever he made mistakes while making talismans, Ding Huan would point them out in time and tell him the correct methods and steps.
The most thrilling thing for him wasn't just that; it was that Ding Huan's guidance made him realize the optimal way to craft the best talismans.
Ding Huan was guiding him onto the talismanic path.
In just two days, he managed to craft a Second-level Immortal Talisman.
Was he an apprentice Daoist? No, he was definitely a Holy Daoist.
The fastest progress was shown by Lin Zhenruo and Li Yunmu, who originally could only set up Second-level Immortal Arrays.
Array knowledge is a gradual process.
Sometimes, even if a mistake occurred while setting up an array, a Daoist might not notice it in time.
But Ding Huan was different. He seemed to know what was on their minds, constantly correcting the positions of their array flags and imprinting array knowledge into their minds.
Apart from that, Ding Huan was also guiding their direction in array studies.
In just three days, the two of them could set up Third-level Immortal Arrays.
Ding Huan also felt emotional.
When he was cultivating in the array path, he wasn't blessed with such resources or a mentor guiding him hand by hand.
He advanced in arrays through his own exploration until he met Ji Luo.
Under Ji Luo's guidance, his progress in arrays was like a rapid leap.
Now, as long as he had array flags, he could even set up Second-level Divine Arrays.
On the contrary, he spent the least time guiding Ji Xing, Zhuoqi, Fan Qingsi, and Long Xiyue.
The divine skills and Daoist spells they cultivated were all clearly described on the Jade Scrolls that Ding Huan had given them.
In this more than twenty days of cultivation, their Immortal Essence had also become extremely refined, making their cultivation efficient.
With occasional guidance from Ding Huan, the four grew at a visible speed.
The one Ding Huan had the most hopes for was Ji Xing. Ji Xing's aptitude wasn't the best, and his cultivation technique was arguably the worst.
After Ding Huan modified their cultivation techniques, the techniques of the eight were almost at the same level.
Ji Xing's control over divine skills and spells seemed innate, stronger than the other three.
Ding Huan speculated that this had to do with Ji Xing's background.
Ji Xing came from an ordinary Immortal Clan and often had to go out to seek resources, which honed his combat abilities.
Ten days later, Lin Zhenruo first stepped into the ranks of a Fourth-Level Immortal Array Master, followed by Li Yunmu.
Lei Zuocheng could also refine Mid Grade Immortal Artifacts.
This progress was overwhelming; he couldn't help but make progress.
Because every deficiency in his artifact refining was perfectly identified and resolved by Ding Huan.
How could he not advance when problems were continuously being solved?
Qianxun Haoyi could also craft Fourth-level Immortal Talismans.
Twenty days later, Qianxun Haoyi crafted a Fifth-level Immortal Talisman, which Ding Huan found a bit disappointing.
He originally hoped Qianxun Haoyi could craft a Sixth-level Immortal Talisman, but Qianxun Haoyi didn't meet his expectations. However, he did not plan to continue teaching.
Lei Zuocheng later surpassed others, capable of crafting top-tier Mid Grade Immortal Artifacts, and could occasionally refine High Grade Immortal Artifacts under intense focus.
Lin Zhenruo and Li Yunmu did not disappoint Ding Huan as both could set up Sixth-level Immortal Arrays.
"Everyone, stop." Ding Huan called a stop to everyone.
All eyes on Ding Huan were filled with respect and burning admiration.
This Daoist Ding was simply omnipotent.
Perhaps even a Holy Daoist was no more than this.
They were now more grateful for Ding Daoist's efforts.
They did spend some Immortal Crystals, but during this period of artifact refining, talisman making, and array setting, all materials were provided by Ding Daoist.
"Next, you will cultivate a sword array, this sword array is called the Fearless Sword Formation..."
Ding Huan began explaining the Fearless Sword Formation.
The Fearless Sword Formation was also modified by him, its prototype being the Great Fearless Sword Formation from the Great Dao Sword Arts of the Three Thousand Great Daos.
After some adjustments, Ding Huan taught it to these eight disciples.
Honestly speaking, Ding Huan was a bit of a bully.
In a contest of Profound Immortal cultivators within an academy, using the Great Fearless Sword Formation from the Three Thousand Great Daos against others was akin to using a cannon on a mosquito.
Even though the Great Fearless Sword Formation was simplified multiple times by Ding Huan, it still took the eight disciples ten days of repetitive practice under Ding Huan's constant explanations to barely form it.
Ding Huan then ceased further teaching.
"I have some matters to attend to, so I will be traveling away. From now until the competition, I won't be around to guide you." Ding Huan's words left the eight disciples somewhat stunned.
They had been used to Ding Daoist's easy solutions to every problem during these two months.
No problem was beyond Ding Daoist's solving.
Now, with the teacher saying he wouldn't accompany them to the competition, they felt somewhat lost.
"Teacher, are you asking us to participate in the competition on our own?" Lin Zhenruo was the first to come to his senses.
Ding Huan nodded: "Yes, you can follow the class monitor to participate in the competition."
After stating this, Ding Huan took out sixteen identity plates and distributed them to everyone: "Besides the sword array, which requires your joint effort, other competitions are individual events. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
Until the competition, you should continue to cultivate at this place."
"Teacher, how do we find you later? Or shall we return to the academy after the competition?" Ji Xing quickly asked.
Ding Huan waved his hand: "You can return to the academy by yourselves. I came here as a Daoist solely for a slot for promotion to Immortal Venerate and Immortal Emperor.
If you win a rank, you can help me secure these two slots. As for the rest, we shall meet again someday in the world."
"Teacher, if we win a rank, how do we give you the slot?" Ji Xing asked anxiously.
Ding Huan knew the promotion slots were not recorded personally, but came in the form of a Dao Rhythm Ball.
During promotion, activating this Dao Rhythm Ball alerts all forces in the Great Dao Corridor that there's a cultivator with a promotion slot, ensuring no one interferes.
Since he didn't possess such a Dao Rhythm Ball, if he had, he could even replicate it.
"I have two Teleportation Array Plates here. Ji Xing will keep one, and Qianxun Haoyi the other.
When the time comes, you can discuss and teleport the two promotion Dao Rhythm Balls to me."
With that, Ding Huan handed two Teleportation Array Plates to Ji Xing and Qianxun Haoyi respectively.
In Ding Huan's mind, with his efforts over the two months, these eight should definitely win ranks.
It wasn't the first time he had taught students, but he had never continuously taught for two months before.
The others were somewhat envious of the two.
Ding Huan handed the Teleportation Array Plates to Ji Xing and Qianxun Haoyi because Ji Xing had a total of 110,000 High Grade Immortal Crystals and had offered 100,000 of them.
He seemed like someone who understood gratitude.
Qianxun Haoyi was similar. He had a fortune of 2.07 million High Grade Divine Crystals, and he offered 2.05 million High Grade Immortal Crystals, giving everything he had.
"Lastly, let me say this: the techniques I modified for you can absorb part of the Thunder Origin.
If anyone wishes to advance to Da Yi Immortal during the magic duel competition, you can do so at any time without worry.
Also, I have planted eight High Grade Immortal Spirit Veins at my residence. When you leave, each of you can take one."
Ding Huan had studied the magic duel competition. Many disciples from major academies were at the peak of Profound Immortal stage.
During the final duel, they often liked to suddenly advance, pressuring their opponents to lose.
Such a trick was approved by the competition rules.
This was why Ding Huan had everyone cultivate to the peak of Profound Immortal, ready to advance to Da Yi Immortal at any time.
Having assigned everything, Ding Huan dismantled the Nine-Level Immortal Array he had set up and had Ji Luo remove the Third-Level Divine Array, then concealed his aura and broke through the Eternal Desolation Divine Power Academy's Protecting Array to leave.
For a Second-Level Divine Array Master like Ding Huan, the Protecting Array of Eternal Desolation Divine Power Academy was virtually nonexistent.
After Ding Huan left, Ji Xing and the others continued to diligently practice the sword formation at Ding Huan's residence.
Because they knew that without Ding Huan, even if they continued to refine artifacts and talismans, their progress would be minimal. It was better to practice the sword formation.
