Chapter 313: The Thirty-Two Marks' Subtle Use, Ning Miao Miao's Sudden Appearance (4K)



Sch Jing was overjoyed.

It actually worked!

Knowledge was being drawn from Zong Shi Chan's head, and Sch Jing felt something entering his palm, flowing through a channel into his brain, and then into the deepest recesses of his consciousness.

Dragon Nest Technique, Armor Tremble Technique, Tiger Soul Fist Technique... Makeup knowledge, elementary language, elementary mathematics, elementary history, twenty different stylish braids, and methods for princesses to deal with same-age puppy-like children...

Various fragmented pieces of knowledge flooded in, causing Sch Jing's eyebrows to furrow.

What a mess.

As the knowledge poured in, Sch Jing felt his spirit as if someone was holding their hands up, and the burden on his spirit grew heavier with each additional weight.

"Is this the feeling others experience when receiving the Divine Anointment, rapidly absorbing knowledge that isn't theirs?" Sch Jing pondered.

He carefully controlled the speed of knowledge absorption, constantly observing Zong Shi Chan's condition, ready to stop at any sign of distress.

Unlike those receiving the Divine Anointment, the little girl didn't seem to feel burdened at all. Instead, she blinked at her master with a seemingly indifferent expression.

"The knowledge I'm absorbing is too diverse, fragmented, and chaotic... If this is the case, this technique might not be as useful as I imagined."

"Rapidly absorbing knowledge that isn't yours is inherently mentally taxing. If one's mind is filled with all sorts of knowledge to an absurd extent, and I can't accurately absorb the knowledge I desire, then even the thoughts of a child in their teens could overwhelm my mental capacity."

"It seems the idea of capturing people everywhere to absorb their martial arts, gathering the strengths of various schools, and accelerating the mastery of the 'Return to Nothingness, Unity' divine technique is a bit unrealistic..."

Sch Jing shook his head slightly.

Just then, a golden light began to emanate from the depths of his consciousness.

The golden light grew brighter, spreading out and hovering at the periphery of his consciousness.

As the diverse knowledge fragments transmitted from the little girl came into contact with the golden light, most of them vanished like snow under the scorching sun.

Sch Jing, who was observing his inner state, was momentarily startled by this sudden occurrence.

The knowledge fragments that weren't dissolved by the golden light smoothly reached Sch Jing's consciousness.

All of them... were related to the Tiger Soul Fist Technique.

This was the martial art that Zong Shi Chan had practiced before she became Sch Jing's disciple and switched to the Concealed Dragon Style. It had unique benefits for tempering and utilizing Vital Energy, but it wasn't very suitable for physically frail women.

This was what Sch Jing subconsciously felt was the only useful knowledge the little girl possessed.

"Golden light... could it be the 'Body Radiance Aura'?"

One of the Buddha's Thirty-Two Marks, his body's light could shine outward, extending one zhang in all directions, and was said to 'dispel confusion and break through obstacles'.

This mark had manifested in Sch Jing before; when he cultivated the Nirvana Technique in his sleep, a faint golden light would envelop his body.

He never expected it to be useful in this situation.

"Dispelling confusion and breaking through obstacles... This is like a filter, blocking and eliminating what I don't want, allowing only the 'knowledge' I desire to pass through."

Sch Jing was thrilled.

Under the golden light's illumination, only knowledge fragments related to the Tiger Soul Fist Technique could truly enter his consciousness.

With this, the mental burden Sch Jing endured immediately lessened, and the amount of knowledge was like a gentle breeze to him.

Time passed slowly, and after twenty minutes...

No more knowledge fragments from the little girl could pass through the golden light filter, and Sch Jing slowly withdrew his palm.

"Master, are you done?" Zong Shi Chan asked with concern.

Sch Jing nodded and said, "I'm done. How do you feel?"

As he spoke, Sch Jing's expression froze... Something about this situation felt a bit odd.

Zong Shi Chan looked puzzled, "No, Master, did you do something to me?"

Hearing this, Sch Jing's eyes revealed understanding, and he almost grasped the principle behind the Divine Anointment.

This extraordinary skill placed a heavy mental burden on the one receiving knowledge, experience, and insights, which was the price of rapid absorption.

As the one transmitting, they only needed to expend a bit of their spirit energy to 'imprint' and offer their knowledge to the other party.

In essence, the knowledge possessed by the anointer is like the 'printing blocks' of movable type printing, and anointing others is akin to inking these blocks and printing them onto others.

The recipient, on the other hand, must quickly carve out their own 'printing blocks' based on the 'ink' they receive.

Xue Jing was cautious about the potential harm of 'Power Absorption' to Zong Shi Chan, so he operated with utmost care, slowly and gradually adding ink to her blocks and printing it onto her.

This process, which was already not too mentally taxing, became even gentler due to Xue Jing's cautious and slow execution, leaving the little girl completely unaware.

... However, for some reason, Xue Jing felt a slight irritation upon hearing the girl's words.

"Come, lean your head over here, and I'll give you a boost."

Xue Jing smiled and waved at Zong Shi Chan.

"Okay!"

Zong Shi Chan giggled and bowed her head like a monk receiving a precept, leaning forward.

The warmth of the master's hand was so soothing... "Waaaahhhh!!!"

The girl trembled, and a surge of knowledge forcefully entered her body, causing her to scream in pain as if she had been cursed with a tight headband:

"Master, please stop!"

All knowledge and insights related to Yellow Mother Cultivation, as well as various Taoist scriptures with extremely dense information, seemed to be explained word by word by an old scholar, forcing her to accept and understand them.

"Master... I can't take it anymore!"

...

When Xue Jing's palm left Zong Shi Chan's crown, the little girl was lying on the ground, drooling and with a blank stare.

"Practice like this for now, we'll talk about the rest later."

Xue Jing looked down at Zong Shi Chan and nodded.

The knowledge and insights related to Yellow Mother Cultivation were vast and varied, and Zong Shi Chan's mental strength couldn't handle it all at once. So, Xue Jing temporarily imparted only the most basic portion, enough for her to formally begin her practice.

The little girl couldn't speak, only making sounds like "aba aba," which Xue Jing took as her way of expressing understanding.

After that, Xue Jing spent a day at the Dragon Concealment Dojo.

Aside from his regular martial arts training, he also studied the 'Tiger Soul Fist Technique' that he had absorbed from his junior apprentice.

This martial art had its unique strengths in the operation and tempering of Vital Energy, allowing one to gradually cultivate a robust Tiger Soul Body.

Although Xue Jing couldn't switch to practicing it, the martial arts knowledge within it still provided him with some inspiration, leading to improvements in his Vital Energy manipulation and exertion.

The direct disciples at the Dragon Concealment Dojo were all busy. Aside from the second and third senior brothers, whom Xue Jing had never met, and Bamboo Senior Sister, whose whereabouts were unknown and whom he couldn't contact, Xue Jing only saw Meng Senior Sister at noon when she returned to the dojo for lunch.

So, he asked Meng Senior Sister to follow him back to his practice room and gave her a Divine Anointment as well.

The skill he anointed her with was also Yellow Mother Cultivation. Since she had already been practicing it and had gained considerable insights into this supreme skill, coupled with her mental strength being much stronger than Zong Shi Chan's, Xue Jing anointed her with the entire skill in one go.

Another day passed, and Xue Jing managed to find Senior Brother Meng Boshang and Fifth Senior Brother Chen Fuguang, anointing them with the skill as well.

According to his observations, those who receive the anointment and endure a significant mental burden require a lengthy recovery period. Among those he anointed, none had fully recovered by the next day.

Xue Jing wasn't sure how long the recovery would take, and he couldn't observe it for the time being.

With the 'Martial Exam' approaching, he had to depart for the Seventh Metropolitan Circle.

"Ah Jing~ I want to go too, take me with you~"

In the living room, Xue Wan held Xue Jing's hand and coquettishly pleaded.

Xue Jing summoned the Non-Existent Beast, swallowing the neatly folded clothes on the sofa into the invisible gaps without a trace of emotion, and said, "Forget it, you can't go. This time, I'm not even bringing Ning Feng Wan."

"I won't be a burden, really, I promise!"

Xue Wan put on a pitiful expression.

Xue Jing glanced at her, "Did you forget something?"

"What?" Xue Wan was taken aback.

Xue Jing reminded her, "Your winter break is almost over. It's time for you to go back to school, buddy."

Xue Wan slapped her hand over her face, "You're telling a student that they have to go back to school! There's nothing crueler than that sentence. I've been pretending to forget about it all this time!"

"You have to go back to school."

"You said it again!!!"

Xue Wan was furious.

Xue Jing stood up, put on the coat that was leaning against the backrest, and said calmly, "Alright, face reality. There will be plenty of opportunities to travel outside the metropolitan circle in the future. For now, it's time to go back to school."

Xue Wan lay on the sofa, hugging a pillow and shouting, "No! It's absurd that a student's duty is to go to school. There's definitely something wrong with the rules of this society!"

"I don't want to go to school. It's not my fault, it's this society that's wrong!"

Sch Jing was speechless. "Do you want to hear what you're saying?"

After a bout of mischief, Xue Wan stormed out to play with friends, huffing angrily.

"Are you sure you don't need me to come along?" Miao Miao asked, a little reluctant to let him go.

After Xue Wan left, Miao Miao hesitantly spoke.

Sch Jing smiled and patted her fluffy head, saying, "This time, I'll be back soon. It probably won't take too long. I might have to enter the Borderland, and I don't know how long I'll be inside. With their rules, I probably can't bring you in."

"I can't leave Yun Qin alone either. You stay here and keep her company. I'll be back soon."

Ning Feng Wan transformed into her human form, put on some clothes, and walked over to Sch Jing.

She gently lifted her exquisite face, her narrow and dominant phoenix eyes staring at Sch Jing. "Lower your head."

"Huh?" Sch Jing was puzzled but complied.

The next moment, a warm sensation touched his lips.

Yun Qin, dressed in a classical maid outfit and cleaning nearby, instantly felt embarrassed. She put down her broom and covered her eyes with her hands, peeking through the gaps at the scene.

The sizzling sound lasted for a long time.

Just as Sch Jing's Dragon Ascension Sword was about to ascend, and he started thinking instinctively about doing something else, but Ning Feng Wan pushed him away.

Seeing Ning Feng Wan, who was slightly panting, her cheeks flushed, and exuding an alluring charm, Sch Jing hesitated. "Are you bestowing 'Affectionate Fragrance' on me?"

Ning Feng Wan turned her head away, not looking at him, and hummed lightly. "No."

"Is it wrong to just want to kiss you?"

Tasting the lingering sweetness in his mouth, Sch Jing smiled. "My Master, of course, I can do whatever I want."

He reached out to embrace Ning Feng Wan's slender waist, intending to take advantage of the situation.

"The rest... we'll talk about it when you return."

Ning Feng Wan felt Sch Jing's hand sliding down her waist, and her face turned even more rosy. She quickly spoke up.

Sch Jing raised an eyebrow. "Oh? You're serious?"

Ning Feng Wan gave him a flirtatious glance. "Of course, I'm serious. Why would I lie to you?"

Seeing that she had finally come to her senses and stopped acting so tsundere, Sch Jing smiled.

"Alright, I'll be back."

He playfully pinched the blushing little maid's cheek and walked out the door.

Watching Sch Jing's departing figure, Ning Feng Wan placed her hand on her chest, feeling her heart racing inside. She sighed in relief.

She slumped onto the sofa, but a damp, cool sensation between her legs made her realize what it was. Her face turned pale, and she jumped up, heading to the bathroom.

After cleaning up, she washed her hands and looked at herself in the mirror, feeling annoyed at her lingering allure.

"You're so unreliable. I was trying to seduce him, but instead..."

Ning Feng Wan sighed softly, her eyes filled with worry.

Although she had experienced it once, she still wasn't used to being apart from Sch Jing.

When she couldn't be by his side, it felt like half her life was missing, leaving her feeling empty.

This time, her impulsive actions stemmed from worry.

Sch Jing was someone who often encountered all sorts of unexpected situations, and the value on his attribute table proved that it wasn't just a figment of her imagination.

Even knowing his capabilities, Ning Feng Wan couldn't help but feel anxious.

So, in a moment of impulse, she took the initiative and made a promise with future implications, hoping he would definitely return.

"Wait, did I just set up a flag for him?"

Ning Feng Wan suddenly realized what she had done, feeling foolish.

Wasn't this like going back home to get married after a battle?

Ning Feng Wan frantically rubbed her hair.

"Why did I do this? Just to set up a flag for him?"

"Waaahhhh!!!"

As the impulsive feeling gradually faded, Ning Feng Wan felt ashamed and wished she could hide in the toilet.

...

(Frustrating, it's been a while since I've been audited. I forgot that fear for a moment and was taught a lesson again.)
