The Foundation of Observation Rinnegan Training
Chapter 21 The Foundation of Observation Rinnegan Training
On the first day after the Soul Battle in the Great Soul Arena, Chi Ping got up early to train as usual.
The early bird catches the worm; getting up early is never a bad thing.
Strengthen the body, meditate on spiritual power, cultivate and improve the Six Forms, and nurture superior mycelium...
Chi Ping had to admit that he had too much to do, and Shrek Academy's laissez-faire teaching style was indeed the most suitable for him, giving him enough freedom.
After working for nearly two hours, Chi Ping dragged his tired body into the cafeteria.
Pay, get your food, eat to your heart's content, and inhale deeply.
Except for the first day of school, the college cafeteria does not provide free food at other times.
However, the food in the cafeteria wasn't expensive, priced similarly to that of ordinary street stalls, so it was probably not the price set by Flanders. Therefore, Ikehira wasn't worried about not having enough money for food.
In addition, I obtained ten gold soul coins from the Soul Arena last time, so I'm not short of money for the time being.
"Hiss~"
A gasp of horror rippled through the room.
Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, who had just finished washing up in the dormitory, brought over breakfast. While eating, they whispered to Chi Ping. They pretended not to let Chi Ping notice, unaware that Chi Ping had been watching their every move since they entered the room.
After finishing the last small piece of steamed bun, Chi Ping put down his chopsticks and looked at Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun.
"Mu Bai, Hong Jun, do you want to come to training with me?"
"it is good."
"Alright."
Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun are both Beast Martial Soul Battle Soul Masters. Physical training is an integral part of their daily cultivation, and there is not much difference between training alone and training together.
Moreover, Dai Mubai had something to tell Chi Ping.
After quickly finishing their breakfast, the three of them went to an open space on the edge of the village.
The three of them each occupied a piece of land and then began to practice according to their own ideas and habits.
Dai Mubai practiced an unknown set of boxing techniques, which were incredibly powerful and menacing. It was probably a secret technique passed down by the Star Luo royal family.
In comparison, Ma Hongjun and Chi Ping's training methods were relatively simple.
Ma Hongjun is practicing fire control, while Chi Ping is practicing grappling.
Chi Ping practiced very seriously, almost single-mindedly, so Dai Mubai didn't want to disturb him.
After practicing several sets of grappling techniques, Chi Ping began to study the Six Forms without Soul Power, which was the original Six Forms.
—Shave, Moonwalk, Iron Body, Tempest Kick, Paper Drawing, Finger Pistol, Life Return. Except for the most important Life Return, I can now simulate the corresponding effects with a large amount of soul power. But this was not my original intention. Developing the Six Styles was to temper my body, master my body, and ultimately improve my potential. Combat ability was just an accidental byproduct.
—My innate soul power is only level five. My current cultivation speed is merely the result of forcing my way up using the massive soul power provided by the unexpectedly developed mycelium. It's somewhat similar to brute-force cultivation using resources. If I can't make a fundamental improvement, the threshold between level 59 and level 60 will likely become an insurmountable barrier to my cultivation!
—Among the Six Powers, Iron Body and Paper Drawing are special; they are the prototypes of Armament Haki and Observation Haki, much like the application of life force and spiritual power. The Douluo Continent has similar powers: blood energy and spiritual power. If I could develop these two powers, perhaps I could change my fundamental talent!
—Judging from my ability to develop and control mycelium, I should have a talent in terms of mental strength. My talent in terms of blood energy is unknown, but I can try it later.
Thinking of this, Chi Ping ran back to the dormitory without saying a word.
Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai stood there, looking at each other in bewilderment.
"Boss Dai, aren't you going to confront that kid?"
Dai Mubai slapped Ma Hongjun on the head. "You little fatty, you have no manners. You should call him Boss Ping!"
Ma Hongjun held his head, muttering, "Just a food-type..."
"That's a food-type Pokémon that can team up with your boss! And I'm sure if you fight him, he could take you down in two moves! Besides, Chi Ping is incredibly fast; your Phoenix Fire Line attack has absolutely no chance of hitting you!"
"Is it really that strong? Can a food-type Soul Master be that powerful?" Ma Hongjun was very puzzled. He had never seen Chi Ping make a move and still held onto the preconceived notion that food-type Soul Masters could actually fight.
"Hmph! You'll find out soon enough, Ikehira is a real monster."
"Boss Dai, are you confident you can beat him?"
"Of course!"
"Then why didn't you fight him just now? There are only three of us in the academy. If we go out to hunt souls or do anything as a group, without a leader, we'll just be a disorganized mess!"
Yesterday, when Chi Ping went to Zhao Wuji to try gravity training, Dai Mubai gave Ma Hongjun a severe beating. Soul Masters revere strength; whoever is strongest is the boss.
Although Ma Hongjun was three years younger than Dai Mubai, he still conceded defeat and acknowledged Dai Mubai as his elder brother.
"Chi Ping has been practicing for at least an hour. You want me to fight him at a time like this?" Dai Mubai looked at Ma Hongjun as if he were an idiot. "If you're going to win, you have to win cleanly. I don't want to take advantage of Chi Ping."
"Then when should we wait for him to rest?"
Dai Mubai nodded.
Chi Ping didn't keep Dai Mubai and the other person waiting for long; he returned in less than five minutes with a strip of cloth.
"Mu Bai, Hong Jun, can you do me a favor?"
"What kind of help?"
Chi Ping blindfolded himself.
"You can throw stones at me, and I'll dodge them. You can throw them anywhere; it's part of the training. But try not to use stones larger than your fist."
"What's the use of this?" Dai Mubai asked, puzzled.
Ma Hongjun tilted his head back, frowned, and squinted. "Are you out of your mind?"
Chi Ping wasn't annoyed and patiently explained to the two, "This is a way I came up with to train mental strength. Humans have six senses: sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch, and the mysterious sixth sense. The information collected by these senses is processed by the brain to form our understanding of the world. When we shut down one sense, the amount of information we need to receive and process decreases, and the brain's processing of information becomes more refined."
"In combat, we typically use sight, hearing, and touch, then intuition, and finally taste and smell. By shutting down sight and hearing, the use of the other senses increases."
"In this situation, if danger comes, the instinct to survive and avoid danger will amplify my intuition to the extreme. When I touch my intuition, this training becomes meaningful."
Dai Mubai said, "But according to your logic, wouldn't it be even more effective to completely shut down your sense of touch as well?"
"But if my sense of touch is blocked, I can't move! If I have to do that, it's like practicing meditation, but how can I practice if I don't understand intuition?"
After thinking about it carefully, Dai Mubai realized it was true!
"How long do you plan to train?"
If it takes too long, Dai Mubai will have to refuse, as he still has projects to practice!
"Until noon?"
Dai Mubai shook his head. "It's taking too long."
"That's true. It was my oversight." Chi Ping said with some regret.
"You can ask Teacher Zhao for help; he should have time," Dai Mubai suggested.
Chi Ping nodded, "I'll go right away."
