Chapter 95: Godlike Teaching
On the training ground of the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall.
After Chen Ya was selected, the other seven players present could not help but sigh inwardly. As expected, Xiao Ling’s choice was Chen Ya, and the task worth two thousand points was missed just like that.
“Alright, there are dedicated teaching rooms upstairs, you can go up.” Lin Qi nodded. He was not surprised by Xiao Ling’s choice. If it were him, he would also choose Chen Ya.
Because among the eight people, Chen Ya’s temperament and looks were the most striking. It had to be said that good looks were welcomed anywhere.
“Follow me.” Chen Ya did not seem surprised at all about being selected. After Lin Qi’s instructions, she simply glanced at Xiao Ling and went straight up to the teaching room on the second floor.
Hearing this, Xiao Ling closely followed behind.
“Lin, there shouldn’t be any problem, right?” Luo Qi looked at Xiao Ling, who had already gone upstairs, and asked with some concern, “Xiao Ling is a student of Zhuguang High School, and she has just started her first year. This is exactly the time to build her foundation. If she gets hurt, the impact later will be very serious.”
Chen Ya was indeed eye-catching. Even Luo Qi, who was a beauty herself, found her pleasing to look at. But the qi and blood Chen Ya had released clearly only reached beginner apprentice level and was not much stronger than Xiao Ling.
In other martial arts halls in the suburbs, the instructors teaching martial skills were at least limit apprentices, with quasi-martial artists being the most common. A beginner apprentice really left Luo Qi feeling uneasy.
“Don’t worry, it’s just an apprentice-level martial skill.” Lin Qi looked at the worried Luo Qi, smiled, and explained, “As long as someone proficient is watching, nothing will go wrong.”
He was very confident about players teaching apprentice-level martial skills. He himself could casually teach and would never let the learner get hurt, let alone players with rich experience in getting injured.
This kind of experience with injuries was something those instructors who had almost never been hurt while learning martial skills could not possibly understand.
It was like driving a car and needing to know how fast it must go, but also not exceeding its limit so that its parts or engine would not be damaged.
Ordinary instructors followed the book and taught according to the experience of their predecessors. They did not even know where the limits of the parts and engine were. When teaching, they could only use a general qualified driving speed as a standard. This caused the learners to be unable to reach the best state in movements and qi and blood circulation, and they could only slowly correct themselves bit by bit, produce fluid movements, and finally reach a merely qualified speed.
This was also why players learned martial skills so quickly. Even when using martial skills, their requirements for their own condition were much lower than those of people from the high martial arts world. This was entirely because when players practiced on their own, they were not afraid of making mistakes. In their movements and blood qi circulation, they often stepped over the boundary and directly got injured.
But in the end, they would always find a critical point close to the limit, which allowed them to maximize their physical functions and reach the highest speed.
Seeing Lin Qi’s assurance, Luo Qi finally felt a little more at ease.
If the teaching was not good, that was not a big problem, as long as no one got hurt.
Second floor teaching room.
“Have you studied Crushing Stone Fist before?” Chen Ya looked at Xiao Ling, who had finished her warm-up, and asked directly.
“I haven’t, but I’ve learned a bit about it from the learning guide our school teacher gave us.” Xiao Ling replied quickly.
“Good that you haven’t studied it.” Chen Ya nodded.
“???” Xiao Ling was suddenly a bit confused. What did she mean by “good that you haven’t studied it”?
“My teaching method is a bit different.” The corners of Chen Ya’s mouth lifted slightly. She smiled and explained, “If you had learned it before, it’s likely you would not be able to accept my method, and it would be much more troublesome to teach you.”
“A different teaching method? Isn’t martial skill learning all done in the same way?” Xiao Ling was very puzzled.
Although Xiao Ling had not officially studied martial skills yet, a martial artist instructor previously invited by the school had publicly guided several senior students, and those senior students had visibly improved.
The martial artist instructor’s students each learned different martial skills, but the teaching method was the same. He had the students perform the martial skills in slow motion, and whenever something was wrong, he would immediately stop them and correct it. All the seniors who went on stage were taught this way.
“Everyone has their own teaching habits. I have mine.” Looking at the slightly doubtful NPC in front of her, Chen Ya felt that this NPC was not easy to fool, so she directly ordered, “If you want to learn Crushing Stone Fist, from now on you only need to listen to me. Do not have any doubts.”
Chen Ya had already put a lot of thought into teaching NPCs over the past two days. She was already extremely proficient with this kind of instruction.
The new members of Blue Enchantress were basically all trained by her, and her teaching method was very simple: train them to the limit.
However, if she used this same method on an NPC, the final review score would probably be very average. If the evaluation was low, improvement in her teaching rank would be much slower.
According to the latest notice issued by Lin Qi, the hall master, if players wanted higher teaching rewards and more teaching opportunities, they had to find ways to improve their teaching rank.
This teaching rank started from one star and went up to nine stars. To rise from one star to two-star, they needed to accumulate 100 points. These points came from evaluations by the NPCs they taught, from one to five points. In other words, for each teaching session, the difference in score could be as much as fivefold.
The experts in the new map probably did not know about the teaching tasks yet. Once those experts in the new map learned about NPC teaching tasks, the competition would definitely become even more intense. So she had to quickly pull ahead in the early stage and obtain higher reviews.
After thinking for two nights, Chen Ya had finally come up with a good teaching method. It could be said that she had never spent so many brain cells even when training the newcomers of Blue Enchantress.
“Yes.” Seeing Chen Ya suddenly become serious, Xiao Ling did not dare to talk nonsense.
“Good. Now I will perform Crushing Stone Fist several times and explain in detail the power-exerting techniques until you remember everything.” Chen Ya nodded, then began to demonstrate Crushing Stone Fist.
As an apprentice-level martial skill, Crushing Stone Fist was not very difficult to learn. It did not even have many requirements regarding movements. It focused more on the use of qi and blood and muscles to make strength erupt with doubled power. And those who had reached apprentice-level basically already knew how to mobilize qi and blood, so learning it became much easier.
In less than half an hour, Xiao Ling had completely memorized the power-exerting techniques of Crushing Stone Fist and the method of mobilizing qi and blood.
“Now that you’ve remembered everything, we will officially begin.” Seeing Xiao Ling manage it in under half an hour, Chen Ya thought this NPC was not stupid, and said directly, “From now on, I will mobilize my qi and blood to guide the mobilization of your qi and blood. You only need to use Crushing Stone Fist normally. As long as I don’t tell you to stop, you must keep using Crushing Stone Fist. Do you remember?”
“Yes!” Although Xiao Ling did not understand what qi and blood guidance was, she still nodded in agreement.
If a martial artist were here, they would probably be dumbfounded. Being able to release qi and blood outside the body was already difficult. To guide qi and blood into another person’s body required an astonishing level of control, making the blood qi as delicate as silk threads. This was hundreds of times harder than threading a needle.
Normal martial artists might not be able to do this at all, let alone an apprentice.
But at this moment, Chen Ya placed one hand on Xiao Ling’s back. Xiao Ling immediately felt a surge of heat pour in from her back, then flow into her entire arm, making it feel slightly swollen. It was as if, in that instant, her arm had become much more solid and stronger.
“Now, do not mobilize your qi and blood. Just use Crushing Stone Fist according to its power-exerting technique!” Chen Ya ordered. “Begin!”
Chen Ya had thoroughly studied Crushing Stone Fist. Simply put, it provided a special muscle power-exerting technique to unleash normally unimaginable strength. It was like the effect in a fire: when a person encountered great danger, they could explode with several times their usual strength, but their body would suffer all kinds of problems afterward.
Crushing Stone Fist was based on this arm power-exerting technique, but because the muscles could not withstand such sudden eruptions, they would end up heavily damaged. Therefore, qi and blood were needed to strengthen the muscle cells of the arm so that its muscles could endure this sudden explosive force.
Now she was using her qi and blood to strengthen Xiao Ling’s arm muscles, first letting Xiao Ling become familiar with this power-exerting technique.
“Yes!”
Without hesitation, Xiao Ling immediately followed Chen Ya’s instructions and began throwing punches using Crushing Stone Fist.
One punch… two punches… three punches…
With each punch, Xiao Ling felt an indescribable sense of comfort and fullness, as if each strike could even shatter the air in front of her.
After training continuously for half an hour, Chen Ya told Xiao Ling to stop, and only then did Xiao Ling reluctantly halt.
“There is no problem with your power-exerting technique. Next is qi and blood.” Chen Ya looked at the unwilling-to-stop Xiao Ling and reminded her, “From now on, you must mobilize your qi and blood to cooperate with my qi and blood route. The amount of qi and blood must not exceed twice mine. Do you understand?”
“I understand.” Xiao Ling was very confident when it came to mobilizing her qi and blood.
“Good. Begin!” Chen Ya felt Xiao Ling was not stupid and had her start again.
This time, following Chen Ya’s instructions, Xiao Ling mobilized her own qi and blood along Chen Ya’s qi and blood route. She found that the swelling sensation in her arm became even more obvious, and it felt like each punch could unleash greater power.
One punch… two punches… three punches…
With almost every mobilization of qi and blood, under Chen Ya’s rhythmic qi and blood guidance, Xiao Ling struck out powerful punches, clearly much stronger than when she had not mobilized qi and blood before.
And as Xiao Ling continued to use Crushing Stone Fist, the amount of qi and blood that Chen Ya needed to use kept decreasing.
After it had gone on for more than an hour, Chen Ya finally withdrew all of her qi and blood. She watched as Xiao Ling, without any assistance, swung her fists like whips. Each punch produced a sharp explosive sound, and her whole body’s muscles and bones felt as if they were stretching comfortably.
“Not bad. Much smarter than my team members.” Chen Ya was very satisfied as she watched Xiao Ling use one Crushing Stone Fist after another.
After two hours of instruction, Chen Ya brought Xiao Ling to Instructor One to confirm the final result.
This scene drew over the players present and Luo Qi, who all came to watch, curious about how far Chen Ya’s teaching had gone.
“Begin.” After adjusting Instructor One, Chen Ya looked at the slightly nervous Xiao Ling.
“Yes!” Xiao Ling nodded, not knowing how well she had actually learned.
Xiao Ling was not stupid. Based on Chen Ya’s teaching method, when the school invited that martial artist to teach, getting students to practice a martial skill twenty or thirty times within half an hour was already quite good. But Chen Ya had let her practice hundreds of times in half an hour, and she had been smooth from beginning to end, as if she had already mastered it.
According to the teaching experience of other instructors, under normal circumstances, for a first-time learner, reaching 5% entry-level mastery would already be considered outstanding.
She then threw a punch at Instructor One.
“Apprentice-level martial skill Crushing Stone Fist, entry-level 36%.”
