Chapter 121: The Compendium of All Things

September 1st.

"Students, on behalf of Blue Star University, I welcome you all..."

On the podium, Nie Ying was delivering a passionate speech.

Well, for the convenience of everyone, this speech was being held in the virtual network community of Blue Star University.

After all, they were all professionals with busy schedules.

Fang Xing pretended to listen attentively while idly browsing through his emails. Suddenly, he paused.

"Master, you have a new message," Little Blue whispered in his ear.

"Mhm."

Fang Xing immediately opened it: "Finally, have our assigned mentors been decided?"

[Respected student Fang Xing, your guidance teacher is 'Pan Xiong', and your counselor is 'Wei Shentong'. Contact information:...]

He was fine with the former, but the latter part made it hard to hold back his amusement.

"Wei Shentong, counselor?"

"Never mind, there are some university students who don't even meet their counselors a few times throughout their entire degree..."

"It's good as long as the guidance teacher is reliable."

With that in mind, he immediately sent a message to 'Pan Xiong'.

Almost immediately, a reply came, just a few minutes after he had sent his message.

"Hello, student Fang Xing. As your guidance teacher, I need to comprehensively assess your abilities... Let's meet offline for the first time. You can come to the public training room, Room Q34, password is XXX..."

Pan Xiong's reply was very serious, but Fang Xing knew that the other party must be distracted at the moment.

Otherwise, how could they have replied so quickly? Shouldn't they be listening to the school leader's speech together?

"Alright."

He felt pretty good about this.

'This virtual space is great, but it can't handle the data of high-level powerhouses... I hope it will be optimized in the future.'

As Fang Xing indulged in his thoughts, he suddenly heard a burst of enthusiastic applause in his ear.

Although he didn't know what part of the speech they were at, it must have been the end, followed by the expected applause.

...

Zhi Zhi!

A large amount of icy mist appeared as Fang Xing stepped out of the holographic virtual pod, glancing at his attribute panel:

[Name: Fang Xing]

[Age: 19]

[Occupation: Martial Artist]

[Fourth Realm: Courage (200/200)]

[Juntiquan Twelve Forms: 89/400 (Master)]

[Great Sun Tathagata Curse: 13/200 (Proficient)]

[Heavenly Mother's Majestic Golden Lotus Twin Safeguard Text: 55/100 (Skilled)]

[Gate of the Gods (Charging)]

...

"Aside from the Great Sun Tathagata Curse, which I've been deliberately suppressing, everything else has increased quite a bit. It wasn't a wasted summer vacation of hard work... even if I did play some games occasionally..."

As Fang Xing observed his progress, he rode on his newly purchased flying hoverboard and flew at a low altitude to the public training room.

It was necessary to buy a hoverboard; after all, Blue Star University was massive, and even using his movement techniques to rush around would be troublesome.

From high above, the public training room looked enormous, like a meticulously constructed beehive divided into different sections.

It had everything, from the most basic martial arts training rooms to specialized shooting ranges, weapons testing grounds, alchemy labs, mecha maintenance rooms, and space simulation cabins... the list went on.

Room Q34.

After entering the password, Fang Xing stepped inside and immediately felt a surge of gravity wash over him.

"The gravity in this room is at least three times that of the outside world!"

His expression remained unchanged as he scanned his surroundings.

The floor was a reddish-brown that exuded a herbal fragrance. It felt both sturdy and elastic underfoot.

The space was vast, at least three hundred square meters in size.

It was empty except for a few people standing in the middle.

Fang Xing quickly recognized two of them!

"Su Longyan!"

He smiled and greeted a shy female student.

"Fang Xing..."

Su Longyan seemed a little afraid of Fang Xing, understandably so given their history.

This female student wasn't weak; she just had the misfortune of encountering Fang Xing.

However, Fang Xing had seen her subsequent performance in the revival matches, where she persevered and fought her way back, displaying tenacity worthy of praise.

In addition, there was a gun-wielding youth with a resolute face, probably named Ouyang Qiang.

This student was skilled in the use of a long spear, and his tenacity was remarkable. Fang Xing vaguely remembered the scene where Ouyang Qiang remained standing even after being knocked unconscious and knocked off the stage.

The last person, with red lips and white teeth, looking rather young, was unfamiliar to Fang Xing.

"Excellent, you're all here."

The youthful-looking boy with red lips and white teeth smiled and introduced himself: "My name is Pan Xiong, I'm 87 years old this year, and I'm your martial arts teacher!"

"..."

Fang Xing suspected it was a prank, but after sensing the other party's strength, he chose to remain silent.

Martial artists' spiritual powers were naturally strong, and cultivating the 'Great Sun Tathagata Curse' had further enhanced his spiritual perception.

'This teacher... looks like an adolescent boy, but his name is Pan Xiong. Though, at 86 years old, he still looks so young?'

'It seems that cultivating martial arts to a profound level can reverse aging just as effectively as immortal cultivation.'

Or... did he undergo gene surgery?"

"What? You don't believe me?"

Pan Xiong chuckled, and a glimmer of golden light suddenly appeared, quickly enveloping the surroundings like a golden sun, exuding a terrifying aura!

"Ah!"

Su Longyan and Ouyang Qiang exclaimed in surprise and took a step back. Seeing Fang Xing standing firm, they couldn't help but feel conflicted.

A satisfied smile appeared on Pan Xiong's face when he saw that Fang Xing didn't retreat, but then another layer of golden light covered his body, making him look like a demon-subduing Vajra, solemn and majestic.

"Buddha's Golden Body! Vajra Realm!"

Fang Xing took half a step back, his face filled with shock. "Greetings, Teacher!"

"Hmm, a promising young man indeed. You are worthy of being this year's top martial artist."

Pan Xiong nodded. "'Yin Hongding' is probably afraid that I will compete with him for the ancient sword. With a top-tier superpower, even with exceptional talent, it's easy to get complacent. When faced with more and stronger geniuses, it's easy to be discouraged. I like your kind, who has crawled out of the mud and is tough as nails!"

"Teacher!"

At this moment, Su Longyan and Ouyang Qiang also took a step forward and saluted together.

"Hmm, I will teach you two classes a week. Think carefully about what you want to ask..." Pan Xiong was a straightforward martial artist. "As for university advice, participate in more student council tasks, earn more credits, visit the 'Compendium of All Things' often, and get your hands on the good stuff in the treasury... That's it. Fang Xing, you go first."

"Teacher, my 'Niwan Palace' is already perfect, and the 'Great Dragon Pile' is just a matter of time before I break through to the fifth stage. Should I directly aim for the 'External Scene'?"

Fang Xing asked his question, not noticing the astonished expressions of the two students behind him.

Was this the pace of a freshman who was about to break through to the fifth realm of martial arts?

'Could it be... that this is what a true genius looks like?'

Su Longyan lowered her head but soon raised it again with determination.

"Hmm... Your 'Divine Soul' is indeed perfect, and you only lack the domain to achieve it. Breaking into the fifth realm of martial arts would be easy. But I see that you're cultivating the 'Dragon-Tiger Golden Elixir,' so why don't you wait until you've cultivated the 'Crouching Tiger Pile' to the fifth stage... The dragon and tiger combination should be contemplated before achieving the External Scene..."

Pan Xiong gave his advice. "Also... I've seen your previous battle videos, and I suggest you learn another body technique."

"Yes, I want to learn the 'Treading Sky Steps,' but this technique seems to require the External Scene to be learned..."

Fang Xing was quite envious of Xia Long's ability to walk in the sky, but Xia Long's technique required domain power, which he couldn't emulate.

He didn't like other inferior body techniques, so he decided to wait until school started to see what his instructor thought.

"Hmm, go to the school library and search for a technique called the 'Dancing Sky Steps.' This technique is derived from the Treading Sky Steps, but it's even more profound. It's an S-tier martial art that was only recently completed."

Pan Xiong instructed him. "With just the entry level of the Dancing Sky Steps, you'll be able to walk in the sky without needing the External Scene..."

"Yes!"

Fang Xing decided to look into it as soon as he returned. He needed to strengthen his body techniques.

"Su Longyan, your understanding of the Taiji is excellent... But you're too immersed in the path of Yin and soft attacks. Starting today, learn the 'Crazy Eighteen Strikes' and the 'Mad Demon Staff Technique'... Train your body and mind in madness and fierceness every day."

"Ouyang Qiang, your willpower is sufficient, but your foundation is lacking... First, improve your realm..."

Pan Xiong began to instruct the other two students.

Fang Xing took this opportunity to download the 'Dancing Sky Steps' and skimmed through it, feeling delighted.

"The key to entering the Dancing Sky Steps is to exert extreme force and stomp on the air... Imagine the air as a solid and use it as a stepping stone to exert force... To do this, one needs a robust physique and explosive power... This suits me perfectly!"

Previously, the number of martial arts techniques in the Great Library was vast, and even if Fang Xing specifically looked at body techniques, there were still tens of thousands of them, making it difficult to find a suitable one.

But Pan Xiong was able to pinpoint it immediately, making Fang Xing marvel at his sharp eye.

"Teacher, can you teach me the 'Dancing Sky Intent'?"

Fang Xing asked, taking the opportunity.

If he could experience it once, he could use that as a standard and continuously practice to enter the technique.

And once he entered, he could leave a proficiency level on his attribute panel, so what was there to fear?

"The Dancing Sky Intent?"

A smile curved Pan Xiong's mouth. "I don't know it... After all, that technique doesn't suit my constitution."

"Then... can I try it in the virtual space?"

Fang Xing asked tentatively.

Although the virtual space could only simulate External Scene-level experts at most, it should have a rich repository of intents.

"Hehe, at most, you'll see External Scene-level experts demonstrating it there. How can that be intuitive enough?"

A mysterious smile appeared on Pan Xiong's mouth. "This is perfect... This time, I'll take you to witness the true foundation of Blue Star University—the 'Compendium of All Things'!"

"What exactly is the Compendium of All Things?"

Su Longyan asked.

"The Compendium of All Things is a scroll!"

Pan Xiong seemed to have answered nothing, piquing the curiosity of the three students before he chuckled. "It's a mysterious pattern left by the first principal of our school, which has been continuously developed and added to by the strong successors of our school... It has almost integrated all kinds of martial arts in the world. As long as you contemplate it, your intent and domain will advance by leaps and bounds..."
