Chapter 325: Xiao-Xiaobai Is Amazing!
Tian Du City.
At the Sword Card Master association.
The few disciples who were in the midst of cultivating were blown away….
Sealing!
Materialization!
Mass killing!
Their wish to witness the great move of a Sword Card Master was finally fulfilled!
“Senior Sister is amazing!”
Li Haoran’s eyes were burning with passion.
“Senior Sister is amazing!”
Salted Crispy Chicken shouted at the top of his voice.
“Senior Sister is amazing!”
Even Zhao Yunshan, who was always calm and composed, was flushing with excitement at the moment… This ability had appeared at the most opportune time. If he were to cultivate it now…
Perhaps…
He could succeed at it today?!
“Xiao-Xiaohou.”
Zhao Yunshan touched the card below his crotch.
Buzz—
Xiao-Xiaohou was suspended in the air.
It was normally in the pocket of Zhao Yunshan’s trousers because that was the ideal location to strike at the opponents and unleash Zhao Yunshan’s combat ability to the maximum!
“Can you learn this?”
Zhao Yunshan’s expression was solemn.
Xiao-Xiaohou scanned his eyes across the requirements and fell silent immediately.
Space geometry?
Data deduction?
What is this? What is that?! What are all of these things?
“It seems that you don’t know any of this.”
Zhao Yunshan sighed.
The knowledge of space geometry was compulsory to pick up this set of techniques! However, it was completely unnecessary for him to learn it from scratch. If it was possible…
“Senior Sister, can you outline the key learning points?” Zhao Yunshan suggested.
“Let me try,” Xiaobai replied.
After a long while…
Upon modification by Xiaobai and Xiao-Xiaobai, the space geometry which was originally required had been summarized into a set of key knowledge points. They were handed to the card spirits for learning.
…
That afternoon.
All the card spirits returned to the card spirit department of the association.
Buzz—
Buzz—
Each Original Card was glowing brightly.
Shush!
Shush!
Faint pen sounds could be heard. All the card spirits were diligently answering questions… The subject was the space geometry and data deduction materials that Xiaobai had compiled earlier that day.
At the forefront.
Dispersing its thoughts and suspended in the air, Xiao-Xiaobai glanced at the few other Original Cards.
Suddenly…
A beam of lights appeared and landed on Xiao-Xiaojian, which was at the windowsill.
Ss——
Xiao-Xiaojian was howling in pain.
“Not allowed to cheat!”
Xiao-Xiaobai’s thoughts were transmitted clearly.
“Crap!”
Xiao-Xiaojian pursed its lips.
Snort!
Using a made-up directive to order people around!
When I vanquished the world many years ago, you were not even an egg… Ah! Spat! Spirit bodies don’t have eggs. Well… You were not even an energy particle then!
Exams?
There is nothing to worry about!
I can beat it with my instincts alone!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Xiao-Xiaojian was glowing fervently.
It had a special status as the card spirit of Lu Ming, the master. Coupled with the fact that it was an ancient sword spirit, why did it have to start from scratch like these few salted fishes[1.Salted fish: Chinese Internet Slang for a boring and idle person with no ambitions]?!
Shush!
Xiao-Xiaobai drifted in front of it.
Whoosh—
The pages of the paper before Xiao-Xiaojian were suddenly flipped open. Lights and shadows scanned them. The result appeared — Six marks.
Xiao-Xiaobai fell silent.
This was especially that half the questions in this paper were multiple choice questions… and the total score for the paper was one hundred.
Hence…
Its expression turned strict and serious, “(▼ヘ▼#)”
Not too far in the distance.
Xiao-Xiaolei, “”o(╯□╰)o”
Xiao-Xiaoshé, “(*^▽^*)”
Xiao-Xiaohou, “(〃’▽’〃)”
…
Shush!
Xiao-Xiaobai took away the papers and glanced at the mischievous-looking spirit bodies. After pausing for a moment, it reorganized the information and then distributed the papers again. It decided to teach them one more time.
“You’re not allowed to be dismissed from class if you can’t understand them!”
Spirit bodies, “o(>_<)o ”
…
Outside the window.
Lu Ming was watching the spirit bodies glowing fervently.
Well…
Very well.
“They are getting along very harmoniously.”
Lu Ming felt very satisfied.
“Yes.”
Xiaobai nodded.
“Have you named this move?”
Lu Ming asked.
“No.”
Xiaobai sounded a little embarrassed.
The so-called mass killing was in fact derived from Lu Ming’s seven-parts sealing ability. In her eyes, this merely had one-tenth of her master’s effects…
She shared this knowledge as she wanted to let her junior brothers who were less intelligent than her learn it.
Therefore, she felt embarrassed to name it.
“Oh…”
Lu Ming thought about it.
Proportion!
Counter attack!
Materialization!
In a certain sense, it was similar to a particular martial art that he had heard of in his past life… After carefully pondering the move, a faint smile appeared on Lu Ming’s face immediately.
“Since that’s the case, why don’t we call it… Tai Chi Eight[2.Ta Chi is a Chinese cosmological concept for the flux of yin and yang].”
Lu Ming felt grateful.
Tai Chi…
He had not heard that name for a long time.
“Huh?”
Xiaobai looked bewildered.
“Doesn’t it sound good?”
Lu Ming glanced at Xiaobai.
“I-it’s quite good.”
Xiaobai lowered her head, blushing.
It was annoying!
Although she was very young, she had taken biology lessons before!
She had never heard of any ability with such a name! It did not sound good at all!!! Were master’s brains leaking?
No!
The junior brothers must have led Master astray…
Snort!
Xiaobai wrinkled her tiny nose. She had to teach them a lesson later.
However…
Since Master had already decided on the name, she felt embarrassed to reject it. As a result, a new ability appeared on the application panel of the Sword Card Master Association.
Swordplay core ability — Tai Chi Eight!
…
Somewhere.
“Tai Chi Eight…”
Li Haoran was trying to appreciate the name of this ability.
The word Tai Chi sounded domineering and noble. It gave others a feeling of yin and yang harmony and was very charming and extraordinary. This word was enough to express the mighty powers of this ability!
However, the word ‘eight’…
Li Haoran was lost in his thoughts. What did the ‘eight’ mean?
“It’s most probably referring to the number of sealings!”
Zhao Yunshan said, “Master has done seven-part sealing and Senior Sister has done five parts. But the limit of this ability is eight-parts sealing!
“This is what Master meant.
“Master is trying to tell us that we should not restrict ourselves to our current abilities! Although he has done seven-parts sealing, there is still room for improvement and change!
“He doesn’t want us to be too lazy and hopes that we can progress together!
“And finally… to attain the limit of Tai Chi, eight-parts sealing!”
Zhao Yunshan’s expression was solemn.
The more he interacted with his master, Lu Ming, the more aware he was of his master’s might and strength. Every word and action of his master carried a profound meaning.
“Is that true?”
Li Haoran had a dumbstruck expression.
Nevertheless, he felt validated very soon. This was Zhao Yunshan, indeed!
This was indeed someone who had been through countless legacies. The rate of his improvement had long surpassed him. Therefore, Zhao Yunshan could figure out Master’s intent that quickly.
Very well.
This was a qualified disciple!
“Since this is the case, let’s work hard.”
Li Haoran’s gaze was firm.
…
Hence…
At the Sword Card Master association, everyone was in the midst of cultivating.
The card spirits were diligently reading books and attempting questions in the papers. The Sword Card Masters were working hard to understand the energy flow of ‘Tai Chi Eight’ and striving to fully comprehend this move as soon as possible!
They even wanted to progress further!
…
The next day.
In the forum of the association.
A discussion actually appeared on the panel below the swordplay ability – Tai Chi Eight.
Second disciple Yan Suqi checked in — “Master, I’ve already mastered Tai Chi Two and successfully sealed two parts. Unfortunately, the rest is beyond my understanding.”
Third disciple Li Haoran checked in — “Current progress: Tai Chi One. Sorry, I’ve embarrassed the Sword Card Master vocation.”
Fourth disciple Zhao Yunshan checked in — “The difficulty level for the initial stages are still fine, but after two-part sealing, the difficulty level increases tremendously. I’m still a long way from Tai Chi Eight. Working hard.”
Besides this.
Seemingly wanting to spur his disciples on, Li Haoran created a ‘Tai Chi Eight’ discussion forum and displayed everyone’s learning progress by the left side of the forum.
Master, Lu Ming, Tai Chi Seven/ Tai Chi Eight.
Senior Sister Jiang Yuebai, Tai Chi Five
Second disciple Yan Suqi, Tai Chi Two.
…
At the right side of the discussion forum, it was even more strange and mysterious. This was because it actually displayed the scores for the space geometry mock examination!
Xiao-Xiaobai: 100 marks
Xiao-Xiaohou: 90 marks
Xiao-Xiaolei: 88 marks
Xiao-Xiaoshé: 86 marks
Xiao-Xiaojian: 9 marks (Has shown a significant improvement of 50% from the last exam!)
…
At this very moment…
Lu Ming, who had been cultivating madly over the past two days, also noticed this section.
“What is this?”
Lu Ming was dumbstruck.
He seldom accessed the forums and would only browse it after special reminders. Unexpectedly, this thing appeared in the forum.
Tai Chi Eight…
Lu Ming furrowed his brows tightly. Which idiot came up with this name?
It was crap!
It was awful!
Hence…
He specially visited this section and tried to understand what this was about…
Afterward…
There was silence.
Oh, it was that ability of Xiaobai?
Oh, he was the one who had named it?
Crap…
Lu Ming turned sullen.
After a long while… he then accepted this fact.
It was fine if the name was awful. However, the so-called eight-part sealing had a misleading name!
Eight parts?
Where did the eight parts come from?
Despite Xiaobai’s talent, she had only done five-parts sealing!
As for him…
It was even worse!
He had merely done one sealing…
It was true.
The truth was that Lu Ming had only done one sealing. The so-called seven-parts sealing occurred because the other party’s attack moved at a constant speed during the combat…
Eight parts?
No way!
It was fine if they were to misunderstand this because he had done ‘seven-parts sealing’. However, eight parts…
It was really not necessary.
Lu Ming did not want to delay his disciple’s cultivation time. As a good master, he would definitely not puff himself up at his own cost for the sake of face.
Hence…
Lu Ming immediately contacted Li Haoran.
“Master,” Li Haoran said respectfully.
“What have you guys been researching recently?”
“Tai Chi Eight!”
Li Haoran was extremely excited. “It’s too difficult to do sealing in normal combat. Through some experiments, we created some one-star opponents with slower movement speed to carry out our deduction practices! In this way, we can make mastering the techniques our priority and then familiarize ourselves with it continuously. We can realize this step later on during the actual combat!”
He was extremely happy.
Seriously…
Master’s seven-parts sealing was too difficult!
He had seen it before but…
He was totally dumbstruck.
The ‘inferior’ version created by Senior Sister suited them. However, by using the ‘one-star dummy opponents’ for the deduction and practice, it was a lower version of the already inferior one!
Therefore…
Each of them was progressing rapidly!
He and Zhao Yunshan had already attained Tai Chi Five in the simulated scenarios! They had comprehended the essence of the technique. As long as they continued to work hard, they would be able to master it one day!
“Actually.”
Lu Ming felt somewhat embarrassed. “This so-called Tai Chi Eight…”
He decided to tell the truth.
He wanted to tell his disciples that seven parts was already the limit and they should not waste their time! Each time they progressed, it would consume an astronomical amount of their time and energy!
Therefore…
“Haoran, the eight parts…”
However…
At this moment.
Buzz—
The wristband vibrated.
Both Lu Ming and Li Haoran glanced at their own wristbands.
Afterward…
“Huh?!”
Li Haoran was suddenly thrilled. “Master! Master! Senior sister seems to have completed eight-parts sealing in the simulated scenarios! Haha, you have certainly named the ability correctly!”
Lu Ming was dumbstruck.
C-completed?
Shush!
He took a closer look at the screen. It was a short video. Eight one-star opponents attacked together and Xiao-Xiaobai retaliated. There were eight-parts sealing and eight counter-attacks… beating all the enemies at once.
This was an ultimate move!
“Master!”
Li Haoran was excited. “Senior sister says that eight parts is the limit because each part has to be superimposed. Your initial deduction was correct!”
Li Haoran’s eyes were scorching.
M-master was right indeed!
True enough.
Master is so much more advanced than we are…
Lu Ming turned silent.
The development of this plot was different from his imagination?
That was right!
Xiao-Xiaobai had done eight-parts sealing!
Although it attained this stage during the practice with one-star opponents, it also proved that eight-parts sealing was possible…
It could actually work!
This was something that Lu Ming did not even dare to think of, but it had been done!
Why?
Lu Ming could not really understand.
It was already very tedious to seal one part. Two parts and three parts… Each additional part required massive calculations, much less the fact that there were also materialization, counterattack techniques and so on…
How could that be done?
Also!
The control of energy…
The ratio of materialization…
The factors involved were far beyond his imagination. The massive amount of calculations also meant that it was impossible for normal people to calculate them!
This…
“Xiaobai.”
Lu Ming asked, “How did you do it?”
“I don’t know.”
Xiaobai thought for a moment. “Xiao-Xiaobai was the one who did the calculations.”
“… Oh.”
Lu Ming was silent.
After a long while…
He pulled Xiao-Xiaojian to the corner and gave it a round of vicious beatings.
“Good-for-nothing!
“What’s the use of having you?
“Can’t you learn geometry as well?
If this thing could know a little about geometry, Lu Ming would not have to be that passive. He had to complete each sealing and materialization by himself!
Count on Xiao-Xiaojian?
No way!
This thing had never scored a double digit in geometry…
Damn!
Both were spirit bodies but why was there such a huge gap in their abilities?!
Forget it.
He could not rest his hopes in it anymore.
Lu Ming sighed. He had to try to learn the so-called Tai Chi Eight himself…
Well…
Tai Chi Eight…
Lu Ming was somewhat pissed off by the name. Therefore, he said, “Haoran, since Xiaobai had already succeeded, we’ll officially change the name to Tai Chi Eight Parts!”
“Okay.”
Li Haoran looked serious.
True enough.
He knew that Master named it that way as he intended to motivate them!
In that case…
This ability was officially renamed as ‘Tai Chi Eight Parts’!
This also became a very important yardstick that symbolized the strength of a Sword Card Master!
Well…
Lu Ming pondered deeply for a long time.
Since the disciples had already come up with the yardstick. He should also give it a try!
He was well aware that the seven-parts sealing in the past was very special and it was not his true ability at all! Only true sealing could be considered the real Tai Chi!
He also wanted to find out the level of his talent.
Hence…
He tried it personally.
Shush!
He failed at the two-parts sealing…
The amount of data required in all aspects far exceeded his imagination. He only managed to deal with one sealing. He could not manage the second one and it collapsed on the spot…
Furthermore, it was merely a stimulation practice!
“Sigh.”
Lu Ming sighed. He then pulled Xiao-Xiaojian to a corner and gave it another round of beatings.
Xiao-Xiaojian was dumbstruck.
W-why did you hit me?
…
