Chapter 290: Chapter 276: Remedial Lesson

Once General Xuelang’s emotions finally settled, Wang Wu stood up and respectfully saluted.

“Please teach me, Senior Sister!”

General Xuelang tilted her head, scrutinized him for a moment, then happily pulled him to sit down. She loved Wang Wu’s attitude, being with him was just so relaxing.

“Xiong Wu, your foundation is incredibly solid. The Five Demon Pill system has given you immense confidence. Now tell me, have you entered the fourth major realm of life yet?”

“Yes!”

“And can you already cultivate the Five Aggregates Golden Body?”

“Yes!”

“Damn it, I knew it!”

General Xuelang suddenly cursed, puffed her cheeks, and bit Wang Wu before sighing,

“It’s really incomparable, demon against demon, driving demons mad! I’m so pissed! I’ve been working my ass off for five hundred years and only now qualify to cultivate the Wind-Enriched Golden Body, yet you already practice the Five Aggregates Cultivation! Aah, can’t take it, I need to bite you again to relieve this resentment in my heart.”

Wang Wu maintained a smile, letting General Xuelang bite and scratch him. After venting for a while, she embarrassingly spoke,

“Xiong Wu, am I being too harsh? Is that Yu Jiayan gentler than me…”

General Xuelang’s frown gradually eased, and she felt good, already enjoying joking with Wang Wu.

And this was precisely what Wang Wu was happy to see—life thrives in blossoming!

“Senior Sister, let’s get back to business.”

Wang Wu straightened her head.

“Oh oh, I know, what grade is your Overlord Demon Technique now?”

“What grade? 6, oh no, it’s fourth grade.”

Wang Wu had to calculate carefully because his attribute bar listed the Overlord Demon Technique in order 123456, corresponding to his understanding on Earth. (Note: Previously mistaken, it’s actually Level 6, corrected now, including each upgrade of the Ruyi Demon Pill increasing by 0.5 instead of 0.1)

But here in the Cultivation Realm, the levels start from Ninth Grade and ascend.

So, his attribute bar shows Level 6 for the Overlord Demon Technique, translating to fourth grade now.

“Fourth grade, not enough, Xiong Wu remember, in everyday activities, as a small-time thief or big-time bandit, your Passive Concealment, Danger Perception, and Spiritual Essence Sensing talents suit you best.”

“But in battle, always maintain your Overlord Body state at all times, unless it’s a crush or sneak attack. If confronting head-on, activate Overlord Body without hesitation. This is the ever-reliable demon technique of our Ancient Blood Demon Race, envied by ordinary Demon Race members.”

“Especially when facing Human Race cultivators, their many talismans and Daoist techniques can dazzle you, escaping is impossible, dodging even more so. Only by continuously maintaining the Overlord Body state can you control the rhythm and not be led around by them.”

“And if possible, try saving a demon pill to engrave the Overlord Demon Technique… What does that mean? You didn’t save, you fool bear, you have five demon pills, don’t tell me—come, come, tell me, what did you engrave?”

General Xuelang seemed about to lose it, like an English teacher about to explode.

Wang Wu felt timid at the moment, “I, I engraved Passive Concealment on two, Danger Perception on one, Settling Technique on one, and Demonic Wind Escape Technique on one…”

“Aah! I’ll strangle you first!”

General Xuelang seemed truly angry, scratching and biting again.

Damn it, who’s going to maintain classroom order here?

After a long while, General Xuelang resigned, “No wonder my first impression of you was as a thief! You have the power of a Great Demon but the mindset of a Little Demon, it must be changed.”

“Then how can I improve my Overlord Demon Technique?” Wang Wu asked softly.

“There’s none, unless you can condense another demon pill, but that’s not just about more demon pills, you need at least seven, an unprecedented feat, and just for the Overlord Demon Technique, it’s not worth it.”

“Moreover, having too many demon pills isn’t good, it’ll burden your Ancient Bloodline heavily, unless your Ancient Blood Purity reaches an unbelievable level, otherwise, the resources needed for cultivation can’t support it.”

“However, there is an alternative method, which is actually the Mountain-Encompassing essence in the Five Elements Golden Body!”

“Copper Head Iron Bone, this Bloodline Secret Technique, prioritize cultivating this, raise it to fourth grade first, then look for Earth Spirit Qi, keep refining it. First form the Copper Head Iron Bone Divine Techniques, then cultivate the Mountain-Encompassing Golden Body. With this, you won’t need the Overlord Demon Technique, but without three hundred years, you can’t complete it.”

“Also, make it clear, Bloodline Secret Techniques are Bloodline Secret Techniques, demon techniques are demon techniques, the former requires your Ancient Blood Purity to improve, the latter depends on your demon pill advancement level.”

“If you advance the Overlord Body Demon Pill to Third Grade Tyrant Demon Pill, then your Overlord Demon Technique will not only automatically advance to a high-level demon technique but can also continue advancing to Second-Grade Overlord Body!”

“What if it reaches First Grade Tyrant Demon Pill? There’s no higher grade there?”

Wang Wu instinctively asked.

General Xuelang rolled her eyes speechlessly, such a common sense question, haha!

Endure it, endure it, who’s going to endure it if not for their king?

“It’s actually very simple, regardless of whether you cultivate the demon pill to First Grade or the Spirit Pill to First Grade, they’ve already reached the state of divine techniques as you wish, nature as the Dao. Who needs demon techniques then?”

“Alright, today’s consultation ends here, Senior Sister, I’m going to retreat in closed-door cultivation!”

“Bang!”

Wang Wu got kicked out of the coop. With her temper, really can’t endure it anymore.

But the next second, it carefully supported Wang Wu back.

“My lord, please calm your anger.”

“Senior sister, it’s better for you to calm down.”

“My lord, I’ve picked up some bad habits in the Academy.”

“Senior sister, I also have some bad habits.”

“My lord~ I’ll dance for you, alright?”

“Madam, please be serious!”

——

Classroom order was restored once again, and the tutoring senior sister upgraded her equipment—a ruler!

General Xuelang continued the class.

“I said before that you have the strength of a Great Demon, but the mentality of a Little Demon. It’s not just because you didn’t take the Overlord Demon Technique seriously, but also because you don’t understand what Evasion Technique and Anti-Evasion Technique really mean, or positioning and counter-positioning.”

“The importance of this, let’s put it this way, do you think you can take on Yuan Bupu now?”

“It’s still alive?”

Wang Wu asked in surprise, only to be hit with a ruler by General Xuelang the next second.

“Don’t ask irrelevant questions!”

“Alright, if it’s still alive, it should be at the peak of Fourth Grade, with two demon pills, incredibly steady in all aspects, truly a hero with great talent…”

General Xuelang lamented slightly. Yuan Bupu was its first choice for a son-in-law, but alas…

“Put it this way, in a sudden attack, or if someone doesn’t know you well, you could kill it without any pressure. But once it knows you, as long as it’s a regular confrontation, where you can’t sneak attack or conceal… just spar, forget it, let it use one hand, what I mean is—”

“After this seclusion, let’s spar once, then you’ll understand what interruption means.”

“It’s similar to the Blood Qi Divine Talisman, but not as powerful, just a slight interruption, a momentary pause, to keep your Demonic Wind Escape Technique from reaching its target.”

“This is also why I want you to maintain the Overlord Demon Technique continuously on the battlefield, to avoid being identified and interrupted by the opponent.”

“In the previous battle, the Giant Whale interrupted you sixteen times in total, but the reason the results were poor is there are reasons for that.”

“First, most of the time, you were in close-quarters combat, so small errors you didn’t even notice.”

“Second, it’s because your Qi Blood is too abundant and vigorous, coupled with my Fish Water Divine Techniques’ support! This made it very passive.”

“I guess that’s why it ultimately chose to use the strategy of destruction with three demon pills—to die together. That shows it wasn’t confident it could kill you.”

“Besides the Qi Blood Escape Technique, there are Water Escape, Earth Escape, Fire Escape, Wind Escape, Thunder Escape, Wood Escape, and various others. The Giant Whale used Water Escape, which is extremely masterful. So, do you know how to spot and interrupt Water Escape?”

“Use fire to restrain it?”

Wang Wu asked cautiously.

“Smack!”

A ruler came crashing down, and General Xuelang was expressionless, “Idiot, the best way is to interrupt with Water Attribute Spiritual Qi! Just as Qi Blood and Demon Wind need to be interrupted with Qi Blood.”

“Let’s put it like this, if someone is running, is it more cost-effective to place a wall in front of them to intercept, or to give them a slight push from the best angle while they’re running?”

“Of course, give them a push.”

This Wang Wu understood.

“Exactly, the best way to interrupt Water Escape Technique is with Water Attribute Spiritual Qi. Similarly, other escape techniques are best interrupted by the respective spiritual qi.”

“It’s quite complex, requires extensive practice, and actual combat is very important.”

“It’s worth mentioning that the more complicated the battlefield, unless necessary, avoid using escape techniques, because you don’t know who will interrupt, or what kind of spiritual qi turbulence will interrupt it.”

“Of course, if you cultivate your corresponding Spiritual Golden Body, then you can assume I’m talking nonsense!”

“In general, this is a skill you need to learn for life.”

“Now, let’s talk about positioning. It’s usually used in team coordination. Still using your battle against the Giant Whale as an example, you green rookie had no sense of it at all, you didn’t even think about what if the Giant Whale suddenly gave up on you and came for me?”

“So, I need to first see through your Demon Wind Trajectory, and determine my position based on your trajectory. It sounds simple, but without enough combat experience, it won’t work. I’ll stop here for now. Practice Qi and Blood Perception and Interruption first. If used well, it can have magical effects, especially with your surging Qi Blood, tsk tsk, not learning this would be a waste.”

After saying this, General Xuelang paused, allowing Wang Wu time to think before continuing in a faint tone: “Yuan Bupu is still alive, along with your friends. They’re now with Xiong Shiliu, occupying a mountain in your name, Xiong Wu. Everyone knows they’re impostors, and they know it too, but the bad reputation won’t escape them. Every so often, they come down from the mountain to burn, kill, loot, frame, and spread chaos, making the entire West Wilderness a mess…”

“Bu Er once stayed on that mountain too. When I sensed something was off, I used a substitution trick to secretly replace it and sneak it back. Who would’ve thought—”

“Sometimes, I can’t help but wonder, if I hadn’t secretly replaced it, maybe it wouldn’t have died…”

Wang Wu could only remain silent, but somehow, he suddenly had a wonderful, baseless feeling inside, that maybe Wolf Bu’er wasn’t dead…

Alas, in the blink of an eye, my daughter has grown so big…
