Chapter 1610: Photographic Memory
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The kung fu competition between Gu Ning and Shangguan Yang lasted for nearly half an hour till Shangguan Yang completely defeated Gu Ning, which surprised Shangguan Yang.
Gu Ning had surprising determination, and she would never give up till she totally lost. If it was a real war, she would fight till the last breath. She was definitely the kind of person who could accept the extreme pain when she was transformed into a cultivator, but it still remained unknown whether she could succeed.
“Very good!” Shangguan Yang complimented her again.
Gu Ning was quite extraordinary as a mortal.
“You can rest for a while, then I’ll teach you a set of kung fu skills,” said Shangguan Yang with great interest.
“Great!” Gu Ning said.
It wasn’t convenient for Gu Ning to get rid of her tiredness in front of Shangguan Yang, so she could only have a rest. After resting for a few minutes, Gu Ning was ready for her class.
Shangguan Yang showed Gu Ning a set of moves. “This is called ‘Star Shift’. ‘Star Shift’ is a skill that leverages strength. No matter what kind of kung fu skills your opponent does, you can use his strength to counterattack himself. The higher his level is, the quicker he dies. The real kung fu is to kill your enemy with his own hands.”
Once Shangguan Yang finished his demonstration, Gu Ning kept it in her mind, which amazed him. He thought that Leng Shaoting was already a talented cultivator, but Gu Ning was even better than Leng Shaoting. However, that didn’t mean that Gu Ning was better than Leng Shaoting as a cultivator, because she was still a mortal now. Even though Gu Ning learned the skills, she could only deal with mortals.
Shangguan Yang didn’t know that Gu Ning had magical power too, and it could help her defeat average cultivators.
“Did Shaoting teach you secretly behind my back?” asked Shangguan Yang. He couldn’t believe that Gu Ning was able to get familiar with the new skills within such a short time.
Leng Shaoting needed to practice for a while, but Gu Ning didn’t need much time.
“No, I just have a photographic memory,” said Gu Ning.
“What? Photographic memory?” Shangguan Yang rounded his eyes in shock. “Do you mean it?”
Shangguan Yang didn’t think that Gu Ning was lying to his face, but it was too shocking to be true. He knew that many people had a good memory, like Leng Shaoting, but a photographic memory was very rare.
“Of course I mean it. I can remember anything I see or hear,” said Gu Ning with a calm face.
Hearing that, Shangguan Yang was taken aback. This was the first time that he heard someone had a photographic memory. He wanted to test it and asked, “Do you remember what I explained to you about the new set of skills?”
“Of course,” said Gu Ning.
“Great, repeat it now,” said Shangguan Yang.
“This is called ‘Star Shift’. ‘Star Shift’ is a skill that leverages strength. No matter what kind of kung fu skills your opponent does, you can use his strength to counterattack himself. The higher his level is, the quicker he dies. The real kung fu is to kill your enemy with his own hands.” Gu Ning repeated without making any mistakes. She even copied Shangguan Yang’s tone.
Shangguan Yang was struck dumb for a second, then his eyes lit up with excitement.
Leng Shaoting was practicing his kung fu skills, but he paid attention to them and he wasn’t surprised that Gu Ning was a quicker learner than him. In fact, he felt quite proud of her.
“Great, I’ll show you another set of skills, and you should repeat it with my explanation,” said Shangguan Yang.
“No problem.” Gu Ning nodded with confidence.
Shangguan Yang continued, “This set is called ‘The White Snake Puts out Its Tongue’, and you can use it to attack your enemy’s head, face, shoulders, lower jaw, chest and crotch. It’s hard for your enemy to stop you from doing that, because it happens like lightning.”
“Clamp one end of Stick B with your right armpit, and hold the other Stick A with your right hand. The second you loosen your armpit and stretch your arm forward, swing the Stick B out with your right wrist. Use the strength of your arm to quickly pull the stick back down your armpit. You should practice it with both your left and right hand in the same way. When the stick is swung out, your shoulders, arms, elbows, forearms and other parts of your body should be stretched forward at the same time. When you pull the stick back, your elbow should slightly move away from your body.”
After Shangguan Yang finished the demonstration, Gu Ning repeated it along with his explanation without making any mistakes again.
“Wonderful! You’re a genius!” Shangguan Yang laughed out loud.
“Alright, you should practice these two sets of skills to get more familiar with them,” said Shangguan Yang, because although Gu Ning had a photographic memory, only practice made perfect.
